HELP TO UPDATE MY MATE 20 PRO (c212) - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi, i have a mate 20 pro model c212 (at&t mexico), i want to install a new firmware for example c62 or c432, i can? or not? Pleas help me!

You could update main base easily, but that could screw the futur C212 stock OTA Updates if the new base version number you re flashing is not or won t be an official C212 base version number.
What is the matter with your LYA C212 ?
-still on emui9.0 and you want emui9.1 ?
-security patches date too old on latest C212 ?

I am currently in version 9.1.320 of att mexico (212), but the Telcel version (C69) is updated faster, what I fear is that EMUI 10 does not arrive because of the att issue

Ok.
So no, there is no way to rebrand your M20P with a locked bootloader.

And you know how to install an update if my operator does not?

You could use a service firmware to change cust, preload and base to a different region. I did this back and forth from C432 to C636 when I saw fit using the dload method.

dload will just skip the out-of-region cust and preload files ; only base will be applyed.

Hm, when I used FH a while back it switched me to C636 - and every OTA I received was C636 - I couldn't return to C432 via any method until I tried dload and it worked for me. It may be because my device is natively C432.

I still don t understand how these previous FH updates managed to softrebrand just fine kirin980 devices.
Your build number once rebranded, in about phones, was then C636ExRyPz or you were missing the RyPz part?

Included RP section, so it successfully rebranded, and then I managed to move back to C432 using dload.

Is it currently possible to do? For the bootloader issue, can you show me the guide you followed to flash?

There will be guides around on our device forum. But basically requirements:
USB Stick (formatted exFAT)
USB OTG
You will need to download the service firmware, for this I used androidhost ru and firmware 9.1.0.300 C432.
You will have 3 zip files inside the firmware, you must create a folder on the USB stick called 'dload' and inside this folder you put the three zip files (named like update_sd_base.zip etc). Plug USB stick into device with OTG adapter and then open dialer and type *#*#2846579#*#* and choose software upgrade then memory card upgrade. Should restart and upgrade device to your new firmware (don't unplug USB during this process and make sure you have above 30% battery)

I though he was speaking about how to softrebrand with FunkyHuawei...

Well if he was speaking about that then there's no guidance I can provide him. It's a paid service and doesn't really require a 'guide' as it's simple. He can check out their website, but regardless - if he wishes to try the dload method then there's there guide.

So just to clarify, you're saying that you can rebrand a Huawei devices Cust code from example a C432 to C185 without bootloader being unlocked?

I'm in the same predicament. Previous owner flashed the firmware from C792 (Canada) to C636 (Asia) via FunkyHuawei. And now I'm not getting any OTA updates and stuck on 9.0.0265. I would like to re-flash my fw back to c792 and I have the bootloader unlock code for my device, but I'm unable to find any guides to help me achieve this. Will the guide you provided work for me as well?

The benefits of debrand , you can use new firmware from other variant, Maybe you can solve problem about your phone such as mate 8 can't go back to EMUI 4.0 after upgrade to EMUI4.1 I have to debrand to C432 then dload EMUI 4.0 of my stock firmware , for any people who use AL10 from china that have many bloatware or chinese apps you can debrand to EU.
By doing this, can I install international firmware on my Chinese variant?

did it last night, went from C02B127 to C432B161.

HI,
Could you please write a step by step guide?
I would really appreciate it! I feel lost in the red forest...
My phone failed to update to c02b128 but it changed the version info without installing the new apps.. so now I need to debrand and install the latest fw manually..
Thank you in advance!
Best Regards!
I downloaded the B161 for 432 from the stock firmwares thread and then created the dload folder on the ext sd card and put the 2 files from the update zip into the dload folder. Then followed the video guide in the debranding thread. Just make sure yr phone is rooted (the tool can do that for you, it's very easy to follow the options). Once rooted you choose option 7 (utility) and then change the oeminfo & custombin (option 9) Then after rebooting choose option 7 again and choose option 10. Download Huawei extractor 0.9.9.3 (google it) and use it as shown in video, once finished with changing the ro.build.display then change recovery to stock (use the tool as per video) and then unroot from within supersu app (choose full unroot option in settings). Then use the project menu (it's in the video) to flash the update file. Once rebooted activate dev options and debugging and flash twrp recovery and root of you want and all done. Hope this helps a bit

VIE-AL10 anyone?
I have VIE-AL10 with VIE-AL10C00B176 Chinese version, anybody debranded this?
I live in Europe and there is no dual sim in Europe, am I better of Asia?
Any advice, appreciated.

How can I install the European JSN-L21 ROM on a chinese device running JSN-AL00a?

I saw the thread with all of the stock ROM links but no tutorial on how to install them
We have to wait that someone can figure out the rebrand method and make an easy guide or software to do this. I saw that it is possible just need the knowledge.

Method is and always was to flash oeminfo and firmware via dload. I have done 20+ times on 6X, v10, h8.
You need someone to share their oeminfo file and firmware via FF.

Then we hope that someone could upload oeminfo-file from their Global JSN-L21 & JSN-L22. Would be nice to get rid off my China JSN-AL00a firmware.

Is there a guide on rebranding when you have the bootloader unlocked?

I have my bootlocker code since I got the phone a year ago. Knowing my phone company, it's going to take forever for them to approve Pie here, so I'm finally looking to do it myself. All I can find is funkyhuawei paid service, but I'm not a fan of paying for something I have done on other phones for a long time, which should be somewhat easy.
I'd like to go to C636 (I'm on C212) to get constant updates, but if I can't get OTA updates after this, I don't mind if I can keep downloading a new version every once in a while... All I need is a guide on how to do it.
Thanks!
You need to have oeminfo file of c636 version and then you can dload the firmware for c636. Getting the oeminfo file is mandatory to do it free of cost. Someone rooted on c636 need to share their file

Force Update..stuck on very old Version

All,
please apologize in case I missed a similar thread but I did not find any....
I used in the past -quite some time ago- FunkyHuawei to update my Mate 10 Pro. Ok I did not use the phone for a while and just found it somewere in a drawer, recognizing that it is still on security patch Sept 2018. Reading that even this old phone might get Android 10 I was trying to update it via the sytem updater. This methode failed. It cannot find any update, the same with eRecovery and HiSuit....as I do not have any credits left on FH I am looking for a way to force updates to get it updated. The device has a locked Bootloader and I do not have any unlock code.
BTW, does anybody know, if FunkyHuawei adjust its Rom's in a way that is preventing the phone from getting the official OTA updates?
Thx a lot for your support
What's your build number?

Just use dload firmware from androidhost.ru. You'd need an OTG cable (USB-C male to USB-A female) and a memory card (8gb min)/sdadapter + mSD (8gb min).
Make sure you download the correct Cust.
Thx for your reply....does Dload still works? Thought Huawei discontinued this methode some time ago.

There's a way to get the firmware to update the version C605E2R1P12?

Is there a new or more up-to-date method to root and flash fw on Mate 20 Pro?

Hi,
Does anyone know if the Mate 20 Pro rooting and flashing the fw guides here are still working and should still be used? I do have a code to unlock my bootloader, but it appears that the guides, and the software recommended to install/use in those guides are either outdated or no longer accessible.
I'm kind of reluctant to follow the guides to root and flash my fw, that my risk the chance of bricking my phone. Does anyone know of any guides that still work today?
I'm currently on 9.0.0.265(C636E10) that was flashed by the previous owner through FunkyHuawei. The phone was purchased from a Canadian carrier (Rogers) and the fw should be associated to the C792 region. I would like to root and re-flash my fw back to the C792 region and start receiving OTA updates, but I'm unable to find a complete and up-to-date guide to help me achieve this.
Any help from you experts is greatly appreciated.

service firmware also updates cust and preload specific to your region.
Thanks! I was able to successfully update my fw to 9.1 and back to my region by using this method.
