[adamlee2012]

Thanks a lot, m8. Please send me the link in PM so i can update my post with your v178 link and create myself an MEGA link, so those links don't get lost in this thread. I like to have all organised :highfive:. Here is were i will post it #791

I'm constantly charging my phone on 10.0.0.173... I did a complete back up and restore... Think when I flash 10.0.0.178 and going to restore music pictures and videos and do the rest manually... Think restoring apps and settings is causing the battery drain.... Its like I'm using my note 9 again ?????????

After updating through eRecovery to v178, i did a Factory Reset and set it up as new device, reinstalling and setting up my apps as i was using a new device. As you can see on my post, i had a pretty decent battery lifetime ?

Yep really good results. At the minute I can't achieve those results. So I'm going to start fresh.

Yeah, after updating to v178, you can do that and you can also disable some of the stuffs i've mentioned here and you will see that you'll achieve a better battery life too

Happy new year indeed. I finally unbricked my phone after checking other XDA threads related to softbrick. I found my answer at this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/help/probably-soft-brick-update-to-emui-10-t4003915

We all know that the reason for softbrick is that the firmware does not match the phone original region/vendor/country. For many of you, you need to second-guess the true region/vendor/country of the phone.

But from this post, it seems that only the base file is installed (EMUI 10), while the cust and preload files failed to install (remains EMUI 9.1), as this post suggested:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81258527&postcount=10

And after reading further, it seems the simple fix is to rename the cust and preload file to match the phone region:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81098065&postcount=89

The next question is: what is your phone's region/vendor/country? Instead of trial-and-error, I use fastboot to check my phone. My result:

c:\adb>fastboot getvar vendorcountry
vendorcountry: normal/hw

So, what I did was to copy the 3 dload files to the sd card formatted to exFAT, and rename the 2 files.

From
update_sd_cust_VOG-L29_xx_yyyyyy
update_sd_preload_VOG-L29_xx_yyyyyy_R1

To
update_sd_cust_VOG-L29_hw_normal
update_sd_preload_VOG-L29_hw_normal_R1

I was pleasantly surprised that it works. But in my case, there is this notification on the dropdown that says I am using an unofficial version. The firmware I used to install is L29 10.0.0.173 (C431E19).

What's next is that according to @oslo83 the cust and preload need to be corrected, but I'm not sure what if I don't correct it. Guess I will only find out next year.

If the solution is to rename both files, what will happen if you use your own cust and preload files of previous versions? What will happen if you use the full base file of VOG-L09 178(431) with cust and preload files of VOG-L29 178(605) in a VOG-L04(C605)? It seems the cust and preload files are quite the same in all versions. I know it's kind of crazy, but who knows.

When I updated to 178 I used the 168 VOG L09 cust and preload and 178 base file from VOG L29 as long as cust and preload match your current device region you can use base file from a different model.

So, do you think I will have no issues trying on my VOG-L04?

Hi m8,

check with one from here, i've made it last night for another user who has version Country demo/eeawe. He didn't reply to me if it worked, so i have no clue...

OFFLINE, not working

Please let me know if it worked or not. If not, please let me know your phone Country version (c:\adb>fastboot getvar vendorcountry)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hRu_W1IMzpAZrha35d8q_p3xyDb15JbS/view

DO THIS: flash the firmware from dload test2 + factory reset + wipe cache + flash the firmware from dload test2 again

Please let me know if it worked or not. If not, please let me know your phone Country version (c:\adb>fastboot getvar vendorcountry)

I am going to test it immediately, I will report back as soon as I've done it.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I get the following error:

Software install failed!
Incompatibility with current version.
Please download the correct update package.

My vendor is: demo/eeawe

Stuck at 9.1.0.260

Hi I'm currently running Android 9 with EMUI 9.1.0, build number 9.1.0.260(C431E4R2P2) GPU Turbo on my ELE-L29 P30 device and I'm not able to update to EMUI 10 whatsover OTA. All around me friends have updated their P30's (also ELE-L29) OTA to EMUI 10 more than a month ago. The only difference between their devices and mine is at "About phone" all the way on the bottom it says "Custom version VDF.NL 9.1.0.7(CT.F01)" on my device.

Do I need to get rid of the custom version before I can update? Is there a way to reset the phone without having to use a 'custom' ROM and also get rid of this custom version? I'm guessing it's the "Custom version" that doesn't allow me to update to EMUI 10 as long as Vodafone doesn't provide me this update (which they said could come in the next months, or not at all).

I tried backing up everything via HiSuite (on Windows) and updating that way via various regions (which I set via HiCare), but that didn't do anything.

Hi m8,

If you want to remove that carrier branding you will need to factory reset your device and insert a SIM from another provider, which i guess is not possible .

But you can do this things in order to update your phone to EMUI 10 v10.0.0.178:

1. Remove your SIM from phone, factory reset it and set it up without SIM inside. Connect your phone to HiSuite PC version 10 and check for update. If none is available, check OTA or by eRecovery. If still no sign of update, then it means Huawei hasn't released it yet for your device and if you want and have an OTG adapter or NMCard, you can go to step 2;
2. Update to EMUI 10 using dload firmware (it's not a custom one, it's the official firmware that Huawei use on their service centers to revive softbricked devices or to install software after motherboard replacement) shared by me on the post from this thread.

For info about how to flash it and more, check out my thread from here.

Feel free to ask if you need more asistance

That's the quickest reaction I've ever gotten on any forum, it's all clear to me now. I'll try and factory reset without the simcard inside and do the update via HiCare/HiSuite.
Before I do that I want to wait for a reaction on the Dutch Vodafone forum, I'm curious about what they have to say to my question (they might surprise me!).

I will keep you posted, thanks!
