Huawei P20 lite flash firmware - Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello guys. Happy New year.
So, I have this P20 lite ANE LX-1 8.0.0 1.4.4 (IRL C368)
I don't get OTA updates for 1.5.6 or higher. Can I flash the c362 firmware using dload thing? Never done it but seems simple. I am asking you because I don't want to mess up with my phone. I just want to have the turbo gpu and the gestures, things that I cannot find in 1.4.4. update.
So, what should I do? Thank you very much in advance.
PS: the phone it's stock, nothing changed.

Need help upgrading to MM (beta or official) TL01H

Hi there folks. I got my Huawei Honor 7 phone for two months ago and I'm loving it, currently rooted it and everything except being unable to install Xposed on it, which I'll get to soon.
Now, the main problem is that I'm unable to update my phone in any way, not via the Updater app nor Local update, so I'm kinda stuck. (Wanting to download the YODA ROM 6.0 B250 to install Xposed with)
Is there some problem with it being the Chinese model? I currently have B173 installed and I assume I can't download an European update.app and upgrade it or? Do I need to debrand it? How?
Need some serious help, everything is confusing at the moment.
EDIT: Fixed with downgrading, suddenly got to upgrade via the OTA then!

Backup stock EMUI 8 firmware, without ROOT

Hi Mate 10 Pro owners!
My question is simple:
How can I make a reliable backup of my stock Mate 10 Pro firmware, without root access?​
I haven't used it yet, thus it's as stock as it comes. No updates, no installs, no rooting done - nothing.
Can anyone help? As a (I guess) boyscout , I want to be fully prepared if EMUI 9.0 Pie doesn't out work for me.
Thanks guys & girls.
DISCLAIMER: I know there's a ton of firmware backup tools, BUT I'm looking for the safest way - idiot proof (since I'm not willing to risk bricking a flagship phone:silly: )​

Want to update to android pie but can't find the right help?

Hi I have a unlocked Mate 10 pro originally based on 3 network UK (BLA-L09 c782) and I want to upgrade to pie since no update has hit me yet.
I have firmware finder, there is a Pie update available however not approved for installation, If it's safe to still update it via erecovery, how do I do it?
Do you lose all your data? Is it pretty straight forward?
I don't want to click the option and end up bricking my phone lol.
I haven't done anything similar to this in over 5 years when i was addicted to installing ROMs so i'm very wary and a complete noob again!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If it's not yet approved for installation then despite downloading, it won't update but will give you an error. This was my experience on a C158 version. The erecovery update doesn't delete your data unless you're downgrading to Oreo from Pie.
I wrote instructions for Firmware Finder/DNS update. This is like OTA, you keep all your data and settings.
Hope it helps.
Patience is a virtue! It will be available OTA very soon. Besides, there's nothing that different from Oreo that will change your day-to-day life in any meaningful way. Also, these Huawei phones are very finicky when it comes to doing anything beyond what Huawei allows...just read through this forum a little and you will see that many, many unfortunate end users make a mess of their phones by trying things that are not safe to try. YMMV

Most stable ANE-LX1 stock rom?

Hi guys, a friend of mine asked me to downgrade his P20 lite due to some bugs he is getting on the 9.1.0.132 build, could you please tell me whats the best build i could flash onto his phone and point me to a good flash tool? Haven't poked around Huawei phones before so the i need your pros and cons for the rom i'll use.

I *HATE* EMUI - Options?

Is there a way to put a stock Android OS onto the P20 Lite? Model is ANE-LX2J and currently running EMUI 9.1.0. I have nothing but issues with notifications and settings with this phone and I'd love to go back to what I've always used and ditch EMUI completely. Is there any way to do this? I couldn't find a custom firmware and I don't want to brick my phone experimenting with things. Thanks.
Edit: Just saw Lineage is gonna release for this phone so I might wait for that and hope it does what I want it to do.
I agree with you. It's been okay for the first 1.5 years, but in recent times I have those problems too. I would like to switch to a custom or stock rom with the goal to increase performance. I haven't used any custom rom for some years now. What are the "main customs" these days?
