How do I know which CUST is suitable for the firmware?

FW: ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.131

Cust:
1. ELS-N29-CUST 10.1.0.7(C432)
2. ELS-N29-CUST 10.1.0.8(C432)

This FW and CUST 08 works fine, no USB connection but OTA Work.
This FW and CUST 07 works fine, but no USB and only OTA to FW 176.

Now i will buy a NanoMemory Card....

You can try different Memory stick + OTG adapter + dload firmware to downgrade to 10.1.0.121 first. Then install Google and made the EMUI upgrade via OTA.

This is my original data, not affected by USB connection to computer:

After having completed the step n.6, is the usb connection still working? or should I update to the last version of Emui 11 to get it work?

I wrote in the OP:
”User @bajangg said that ”3. If you choose another Emui 10 version, like Emui 10.0.1.176 and then lost OTA Update, USB Connection, and have no idea what to do, don't afraid. Last time, when i also in the same situation, USB Type C to Type C still working for me and make my device still can connect to HiSuite.” Source: https://xdaforums.com/t/googlefier-install-gms-on-huawei-honor.4180485/post-85627761 I have not tested yet, but if it works you would begin with step 6.”

I wasn't able to change from EMUI 11 to EMUI 10 directly.

These steps helped me:

1. Downgrade EMUI 11.x.x.x to the lowest version of EMUI 11 for your device (11.0.0.151 should do). Using HiSuite Proxy

2. Downgrade EMUI 11.0.0.151 to 10.1.0.176 using HiSuite without Proxy (select other version in Hisuite)

3. Downgrade from 10.1.0.176 to 10.1.0.121 using HiSuite 10.1.550 and Proxy or use OTG and SD-Card.

I have tested some downgrades from 11.0.0.202 and USB is always dead for me.

Upgrade to 11.0.0.202 and USG works again.

Downgrade from a higher or = version EMUi11.0.0.193 (C432) will results on no USB connection to the computer. It is better to have a NM card, just in case.

Did you downgrade P40Pro using P40 Pro+ firmware? Maybe this thread can help you.

This is for C432 region only. Do not use this firmware on other region firmware. I can prepare the firmware for other region.


When you downgrade P40Pro firmware using P40Pro+ firmware elements your phone will show like this:
View attachment 5409301View attachment 5409305View attachment 5409321


On those phones can use OTG adapter + dload firmware.
The steps:
1. Download the dload firmwares (180 and 202) from this link:

They are not the same firmware as the ones you can find on internet.

2. Unzip 180 firmware and copy dload folder to the memory stick (NM card if OTG is not working)

3. Write 180 firmware using memory-stick + USB-C OTG / NM Card + ProjectMenu\Software Upgrade\1.Memory card Upgrade. To access ProjectMenu, type *#*#2846579#*#* on the original dial app.

At the end will be like this:
View attachment 5409359

4. Use the same procedure with 202 firmware.

At the end will be like this:

View attachment 5409361

5. The USB connection to computer is back now.

6. Use HiSuite proxy to downgrade again using the N29 firmware files (https://www.firmfinder.ml/). After this step you will have N29 back.

At the end will be like this:

7. Now you can install Google and make update of EMUi to have USB connection to computer and fast charging back.

LE:

a. It is possible to skip to install 180 and write 202 directly, but nobody tried yet. Baby steps.

b. User @bajangg said that ”3. If you choose another Emui 10 version, like Emui 10.0.1.176 and then lost OTA Update, USB Connection, and have no idea what to do, don't afraid. Last time, when i also in the same situation, USB Type C to Type C still working for me and make my device still can connect to HiSuite.” Source: https://xdaforums.com/t/googlefier-install-gms-on-huawei-honor.4180485/post-85627761 I have not tested yet, but if it works you would begin with step 6.

c. You can use a NM card if OTG+Memory card doesn't work. You will download and extract/copy dload firmware on NM card using phone internet connection.




Special thanks to @ciorax who puts in practice and updated my slim idea.
I downgrade P40 PRO (C792) from EMUI 11 to EMUI 10 for install GMS, but USB data transfer (only charging) not working and no fast charging any more. Can you help to provide correct firmware ?

If an EMUI update is available, update to the last version of EMUI11 and everything will be OK. There is no other solution.
Losing the fast charge and connection to computer is a common issue when you downgrade from last Emui11 to EMUI 10. How do you know you downgraded a wrong firmware?

Hi since OTA is also not working (shows already have the latest firmware), I can't update to EMUI 11.

    7. Now you can install Google, fix the push notifications ( I have the best solution, but is not free) and make update of EMUi to have USB connection to computer and fast charging back.

    L.E. The transfer files between Computer and phone is available on the downgraded firmware (10.1.x.x) when you use a certain USB-c to USB-c cable. In this case a UGREEN, US355, USB-C To USB-C, 3.1, Gen.2, PD, 5A, 100W, 4K, 10 Gbps cable has been used. In the same time, using the original USB cable or other ordinary USB-c to USB-C cable have not activated the file transfer.

    c. You can use a NM card if OTG+Memory card doesn't work. You will download and extract/copy dload firmware on NM card using phone internet connection.

    Hi,

    So, I have a P40 Pro device, ELS-N29, C432 region, R5.
    To start with, I had the firmware version 11.0.0.260 and I had trouble downgrading it.
    I found this very useful downgrade workaround using an otg adapter:
    https://github.com/ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy/issues/148#issuecomment-1000913711

    I was able to downgrade to 11.0.0.230, and after using HiProxy, I downgraded to 10.1.0.114.
    Here is my current versions info:
    - Preload software version: ELS-N29-PRELOAD 10.1.0.1(C432R6)
    - Cust Software version: ELS-N29-CUST 10.1.0.7(C432)
    - Base software version: ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.114

    Everything works great, except that USB is not working anymore. I tried to use HiSuite, but no chance...
    I cannot transfer file, or use ADB AppManager.

    I hope this clarify my situation, and that I am on the right thread for my problem.

    Again thanks a lot for all,
    Yes. It is clear. You have nothing to do with this thread and those firmware.

    You have to use wifi connection and download&install GMS on your 10.1.0.114 (you gone to low. It was better on 10.1.0.121). After that upgrade to 11.0.0.202 using one of that, and your USB will be fine:
    a. HiSuite-original (no proxy)
    b. MyHuawei App
    c. OTA ( phone menu)
    d. eRecovery (wifi)

    You can find more on my thread here.

    Reading first will help you.
