Hi all,
So i have bought a Huawei P30 Pro from o2 and it is running well however i noticed that it is running a slightly modified version of the firmware.
In the settings app it says:
Current Version:
O2 Apps and Customisation 9.1.0.193(C431E4R2P2)
I am no longer with O2 for my phone contract and have moved to Three as my supplier.
Is there a way i can put the stock Huawei firmware on the device or even the Three customised version?
Thanks in advance.
Geoff
I am not 100% sure, but a factory reset could do just that (install a "clean" rom). But maybe you also have to flash a factory image (this will change it for sure). But, as far as i know there is NO way to do that without resetting the phone and erasing all data

factory reset won't help. he needs to flash the phone with non branded firmware and of course he will lose all data the same way when you do a factory reset.

Actually in a lot of cases the phone comes with the unbranded stock firmware, once you insert a SIM it downloads an update for the carrier overlay, factory resetting without a SIM in can return it back to unbranded
Ok so i managed to get a clean rom and flash it with no issue just using a usb stick and a otg cable. I'm amazed how easy this was.
Hold on a second.......... I thought we needed an unlocked bootloader to flash a different factory image. If not can some one help me. I'm using a P30 lite on Three Ireland. They have blocked the second sim card with the Firmware from what I can see. Can I flash another factory Firmware that is not Three branded??????

That didn't work for me. Factory reset without sim did not get rid of the provider branding.

Here is a link for the file:
https://anonfile.com/cbD623A7n0/VOG...R2P2_Firmware_9.0.0_r3_EMUI9.1.0_05015TMN_zip
The otg method is here:
Open the Zip and extract the dload folder on the pendrive
- Turn off the P30 Pro
- Connect the pendrive with the OTG cable
- Now press the three buttons at the same time.
- Volume +
- Volume -
- Power button.
(The p30pro will light up and vibrate, keep the buttons pressed)
Only when you see the blank screen and EMUI appears will you release the buttons.
The flashing will start and lasts about 2 minutes.
After flashing the P30 Pro will restart automatically.

I have no idea what happened to my GNote, but the problem is when I reboot to ROM and unlock the screen the screen turns black, keys lit and that's it 'till I reboot and it happens all over again.
I'm looking for a fix or guide to completly wipe the phone and start over. Luckily I have my current ROM backed up.
Thanks in advance.
Are you flashing a kernel?
Once I flashed my favorite kernel with a new rom. It booted, but then I had infinite blackness. To fix it I booted into recovery, performed a factory reset, installed only a rom and was fine.

Nope, just a custom ROM, flashed 8 before this one and never had any issues. When my phone was working, I noticed something odd in root browser; some folders and files have their date set to 12/31/1969?????
I can still access TWRP and download mode.

Put the phone in download mode, open Kies, plug phone into usb, in Kies select tools, firmware upgrade and initialization. Have your phones serial number handy (Can be found under the battery). Enter model number using all caps (SGH-I717) and follow the prompts. This will put the phone back to stock 4.1.2. You will loose root and recovery, but will be back to complete stock. By far the easiest, safest method to completely wipe and start over.

What rom are you flashing, and where did you get it from? If it's from a reliable source, and you're certain it's for your device, you might have a corrupt file. You can try re-downloading it and flashing again. If it happens again notify the developer and try a different rom.

I hate when that happens!
If you want to just fix what you've got you can reflash the SAME rom right on top of what you've got.
If you want a fresh start, in recovery perform a factory reset, install the rom of your choice, and enjoy!
After spending all night working on restoring the phone, at least the main issue is solved, I'm back on a custom ROM.
But I still see the same folders and files with date last modified: 12/31/1969. Can't believe I'm the only one with this issue.
KIES for me does not have the selection firmware upgrade and initialization under tools...I have Emergency Firmware Recovery and Firmware Upgrade Settings, which locks the program up (I'm on a Mac)...what happened is that I tried to do a upgrade that T-Mo was passing on, and can't boot past the screen that has the gray battery, or if I'm lucky, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4G Android 4G screen prior to the T-Mo jingle...phone has been wiped twice, at least...
And where do you see these files? Most likely they were on the usb storage and it didn't get wiped during ROM install.
What if I put all of the ROMs, etc., on the SD card, and attempt to restore that way?

was looking for stock rom for smart 3 if anyone could post it here that would be frigging amazing mine is in a bootloop because of chainfire(my bad)have no cwm cause im...stupid if anyone can help that would be great thanks
Dont have a ROM for you but based on the User Manual / Page 23 you can do a hard/factory reset of the phone using the phone buttons.
"When you are unable to power on your phone, there is another way to perform a factory data reset by using hardware keys. Hold down the the Volume up key and press the Power key at same time until the screen lights up."
Here the link where i found this device manual gsmarc
Hope this helps

Try to install CWM by following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332783 (see step 16)
You can install CWM through fastboot, so it's not needed for the device to be on.
If you succed, download the Vodafone Smart 3 Stock ROM (non NFC) from here: https://www.mediafire.com/?g3tmcs86lxqj8u7 and flash it through CWM. It's a rooted (with busybox) version of the official stock rom.
Good luck!
EDIT: I’m not 100% sure that the flashable stock rom works since i never tried it, but you can still try, you got nothing to lose. Make sure you flash it with full wipes.

The boot.img was in stock rom’s zipfile. I tested that one just a few minutes ago and all seemed to be working (the boot.img). You can use SP Flash Tool to flash stuff like this. Anyway, good thing you have your phone again

Have you thought about doing a factory reset, and then try taking the OTA? Once you factory reset, don't sign into your Google account, and as soon as you get to the main screen go to Settings > Account > Backup and reset. Then try taking the OTA.

You have a GS4 that can have the bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery, custom kernel, and a custom ROM installed.
It's a pretty easy thing to install a 4.3 ROM onto your phone without losing those unique features. There's lots of us that are stuck with bootloader locked phones that would be happy to swap with you.
If you refuse to root it to install a 4.3 ROM, then you're killing 100 puppies and 100 kittens. Just take the OTA, destroy the unique value of your phone. Sad..
Did I mention that having a MDK phone is valued?

Lmao I didn't know all this. Does taking the OTA mean that I cannot have all the customs I can now? Could you explain to me how I can install the rom, preferably without losing the features or the data currently on it?
Also, I bought this phone for less than the usual price. So how valued is it?

The usual reason that OTAs won't take is that something has designated your phone as "Custom" status.
The other reason is that you don't have a standard phone - it's a developer edition.
Here's how to tell. Settings/More/About Phone. What's in the "Build number"? If it's OYUAMDK (hope I remembered that right), it's a developer edition phone. You won't get OTA offers since Verizon doesn't build updates for that device. Put that on Swappa saying that it's a developer edition and you'll easily get several hundred bucks for it.
If it's a VRUEMDK (again, from memory - what's important is that the build number starts with "V"), then it's a normal phone.
What does Settings/More/About phone/Status say in "Device Status"? You won't be offered OTAs unless it's "Official".
This is odd, but try this:
Make sure all your stuff is backed up with your Google account. Anything on your SD-Card (external) will not be touched. Turn your phone off.
Then:
- Hold the Power + Volume Up button until your screen turns on
- Even if the logo bot logo doesn't immediately come up, release the Power Button (Still holding Volume Up)
- The top Left of the Boot logo should say "Recovery Booting..."
- Once the Recovery boots and you see options, use the Volume Keys and scroll to 'Data/Factory Reset' and Press the Power Button to confirm
- Click 'Yes', and then once that's finished Click 'Wipe Cache Partition' and Click 'Yes...'
- Click 'Reboot'
- The phone could take up to 5 -10 minutes to boot, please be patient.
- Once it boots, skip through the setup, you can add everything later.
-Immediately Go into Settings and attempt to Update it (OTA first, then try this again but use Kies).
If that doesn't work, let me know.

Device Status does say "Official" and the last seven letters to my build number are VRUAMDK. I have not done anything to customize the phone aside from a launcher, so I don't think my phone can be designated as custom..

With do not do a Kies, do you mean backup? I'll consider the root and flash ****, since it seems like there is no other way to get to 4.3; let a friend help me with that tomorrow. I'll let y'all know how that goes.
Damn, is this MDK phone **** really that good? I thought I had a crappy s4 tbh
Kies is software that runs on your computer. The other user was suggesting Kies as a method to get to OTA 4.3. A bad idea with a MDK phone. Right now you have a phone that almost anyone on this forum would buy. Don't diminish the value by making it like all the other phones with a locked down bootloader.

Actually, I Know all about KNOX and I'm not a noob. He said nothing was custom and he was trying to update his phone, so i'm assuming he doesn't want to root. I'm on build MK2 rooted running HyperDrive ROM 13.0.0, so he can still use a bootstrap recovery, Disable KNOX w/o Tripping the KNOX Warranty Counter and install custom files and run a good custom ROM that offers a custom kernel even.
So I was messing around with my GS5 active and it now is stuck on the att load up screen. I would like to just reflash the firmware however it appears that the Gs5 and Gs5 active firmwares are different.

Have you tried booting into recovery yet? Press power, volume up and home buttons at the same time, simultaneously. Wipe cache partition then go to “advanced” and “wipe dalvick cache” and try to reboot. It may take a few minutes on the at&t logo just be patient.

so i've tried everything to unlock this v10 and so far no go.I need an unlocked phone modem to compare to a locked one and see exactly causing the lock or if i can just flash an unlocked and it will work?
Also can't flash modem of any other variant or else you will be bricked for good.
so i tried flashing system and boot partitions of a lot of different variants to try and get unlock prompt to pop up.
H900(at&t) no boot
H900PR(brazil ver) same thing as at&t no boot at all
H960TR(turkey) hangs on boot animation
H960 (vietnamese ver) same thing as with 960tr hangs boot animation
F600k(boots perfectly, but no sim unlock menu)
F600L(again boots perfectly but no sim unlock menu)
Starting to notice anything? similar model names have similar behaviors ex. h900 and h900pr show exact same boot fault
So, the only possible way is the modem!
can someone with a unlocked t mobile modem please upload theirs. i'm going to flash the unlocked modem and use the f600k system so no tmobile bull**** can lock it again.I really think this could work as long as no stock tmobile rom is installed.I would really really appreciate it as im stuck with this phone rn.
ALSO , here is how to easily get modem partition if you have root.Download "partitions backup and restore" in playstore by wanam
check firmwire/modem in green and backup and that's it! tested myself and works.
So please if you have a unlocked tmobile v10 and are rooted it would very helpful if you could take a few mins to backup modem and upload it.
ok as an incentive im adding a 10$ bounty through paypal.i need the following 5 modem partitions backup using flashfire.
Modem firmware aka modem
Modem firmware data #1 aka modemst1
Modem firmware data #2 aka modem st2
Modem firmware FSG aka fsg
Modem firmware SSD asa ssd
Download flashfire by chainfire from playstore and backup the above partitions and upload them.i've backed up these partitions my self on my v10 so yes it works.I only put a bounty because this device barely has any dev half of these v10 are dead lol also im patient from trying to unlock this thing ffs.First one with the CORRECT partitions i will reach out via pm.
Quick 10$ takes no more than 10 min!!
Backing it up right now as I type this. Whats the best way for me to upload this for you?
EDIT: here is the link, backed up via Flashfire and then zipped up, no password. My phone is currently running stock rooted Eliminator ROM (software version H90120L) https://www.dropbox.com/s/a3l518nse4vkj4q/LGv10Modem.zip?dl=0

The device is bootloader unlocked, I have the T-Mobile version of the device. Will try again for you. You don't need the other zipped file?

Not sure if I did that or not. The phone is paid off so I would assume I can put it on another network. I've moved on to the newer model v20.
Question, why would the modem firmware change whether it's unlocked or not? Wouldn't that be done via firmware update?
Sent from my LG V20 using XDA Labs
Nope.tmobile has locked these down using the device unlock app.if you never used it on another network other than tmo then its most likely not network unlocked.even if its paid off, you have to contact tmo to request a permanent unlock.once they give you the green light for the unlock then you just use the device unlock app that comes on the tmo phone and hit permanent unlock. modem files hold the unlock info in this case.as i said above ive tried roms from even the international variant only to be greeted by the network locked notification.im sure theres at least one person with a network unlocked tmo v10 lurking around these fourms lol.again i appreciate you taking your time to help!
I will look into getting it unlocked. No big deal for me to do so since i don't use the phone anymore

Here you go my friend, V3 is device unlocked. Used the T-Mobile app Device Unlock. Went through the process. Phone rebooted and a toast notification popped up saying phone permanently unlocked. I suppose you can compare both V2 and V3 to see what changed?

Well, i just gave up.i tried everything, this phone is just locked down tight.The phone would not flash the modem.bin at all through fastboot or flashfire since it is a locked partition.I managed to flash the modem firmwire 1 and 2 since they are not locked partitions through flashfire.Phone still not unlocked, so i tried flashing http://lgviet.com/forum/threads/rom-radeonmaya-t-mobile-h901-v4-0-update-19-11-2016.58894/ rom and it has a working sim unlock menu but it says phone cannot be unlocked or something.so i flashed the modem firmwires again and run the sim unlock app and it prompts me for a code! I had my unlock code from ebay and entered it and it said network unlock successful and the phone rebooted itself.But after rebooting it still showed network locked.i think it needs to be on stock rom.i tried porting the sim unlock menu to stock but it doesnt even open.i just gave up on this phone, i just use it like an ipod lol.we have unlocked modem files though i cant find a way to flash it.it just might be what we need.flashfire wont flash protected partitions (modem is protected) and also fastboot keeps through an error when trying to flash anything.the only way to flash the unlocked modem bin is with LGUP.ive managed to extract stock kdz and replace the modem.bin with the unlocked one but i dont know how to convert it back to a kdz or tot so we can flash the modified kdz.also maybe 7.0 has some modem changes? Or i might just try flash modem of korean variant though i would be just testing my luck as it will result 99% a hard brick. 4 ways to do possibly unlock this
Port sim unlock menu to stock rom 99% chance your phone will unlock
Flash modified modem.bin somehow through lgup or lg flashtool.good chance this will work as well
Wait and see if you can expliot something in nougat .if were lucky this might have something.
Sending AP commands through Modem.i tried this myself.it seems you can only communicate with modem with the korean or tizen rom.you can send the command AP%ULCW.
UlCW=unlock code write.so you can write the unlock code through direct comm with modem via usb but i dont know the correct format to enter the code as it keeps throwing an error.
Still thanks to @amoot329 for coming in clutch with the files.when nougat comes out i'll try messing with it again but honestly this phone is useless lol.

thank you very much.
please if you can help me resolve the issue
the attachment is what i am getting after installing the F600L30e
my phone is probably refurbished as it was showing t-mobile and the stickers on the body are also tmobile but it works with F600L software only. LG bridge incorrectly identified it as H901 and tried to update with MM and that is when it got bricked and i revived it from 9008
please help
