Hey,
Altough I bet there are hunderds of threads like this, I decided to create another one
So because I have my mate 10 lite around 2 years (a bit less), I would like to get an upgrade. Sadly I won't get Android Pie officially, so I'd like to install a custom ROM.
To do that I need an unlocked bootloader which dc-unlocker is only able to do below Android 8.0.
So I would have to downgrade my Android 8.0 (Btw, EMUI is also 8.0) to Nougat 7.0.
The method through HiSuite didn't worked since it just says "Newest Developer Version installed", but nothing with "Switch to other versions".
Also through Firmeware Finder (Playstore App) it doesn't show me the option "In-App Proxy", so I guess it doesn't work either with that.
Is there another way to do, if so I would really appreciate any help
Thanks in advance
My Mate 8 also keeps on Android 8.0, without any update to Android Pie officially.
If the official utility, HiSuite, which is developed by Huawei doesn't work, we maybe have no way to downgrade the system software on Mate 10 or Mate 8.

It all depends on your current build version. If I remember correctly the ability to use DC was patched in most custs in May or June. So if your security date is prior to May you can still use DC. If not you're out of luck. You can use testpoint to flash board software and then get unlock code through there, but it requires you to remove the back of your phone which will break IP rating and void warranty (If it's still under warranty)

In XDA-Developers every code builders finding solutions for Mate 9 but there is nothing for Mate 9 Pro (LON) versions.
I am opening this thread if someone give a hand to resolve downgrading problem Oreo Beta to Offical Nougat.
In Mate 9 forum @mankindtw build HWOTA 8 solution for MHA versions. Probably people will suggest me to use FunkyHuawei thing. But PayPal and BitCoin payment methods are not working in my country because of acredition at banking system.
So if any developer can support M9 Pro, it's too much appriciated for me.
I'm using HiSuite v: 5.0.2.301_ove LON-L298.0.0.323(C432log), I signed up to the beta program and got my update through the beta app.
In Hisuite I can select "system update" and from there select "Switch To Other Version" and from there I can select LON-L29432B226(Official)
I have't done the actual "downgrade" because I don't want to reinstall apps and reconfigure them.
I don't have root or custom recovery because I updated to the beta before installing custom recovery and there is no method, that I know of, of installing custom recovery onto Oreo as of yet.
Waiting for it too! Need to update from B302 to B323 (C636)
Hi.
I have Chinese version of Honor 8x.
After update to EMUI 9 I can't use google apps.
GSM installer and factory reset don't work.
Some advice?
I can't downgrade by HiSuite.
I can't unlock my bootloader.
I was writing with Chinese support but they said that migration from 9.0 to 8.0 is impossible.
Even project microG doesn't work.
[SOLUTION]
I fixed the problem.
HiSuite from Chinese website.
OpenVPN software.
Chinese VPN, I found some with uncle Google.
Then I could see "choose other" and rollback to EMUI 8.
Have FUN!
I'm facing the same problem ?
In addition to that It's impossible to rollback to Oreo
Honor 8x emui 9 China
I have faced the same problem.....waiting for a solution ASAP.
I did research and I know that google framework, calendar and contacts sync , store are OK, but I have problem with signatures of google play services.
That's why I can't sign in to my google account and use google apps.
What can I do with that?
I face the very same problem.
rebooth doesn't work
factory reset either
safe mode doesnt work
Why doesn't this happen to all honor 8x but only a few?

Hello everyone one. Somebody Help me pls
2 days ago I updated my honor 8x(jsn-l22) to android 9 and it was awful. I didn't like so I decided to downgrade to 8.1. I used hisuite to downgrade but the speed of downloading was really bad so I couldn't do it. So I gave it to someone to do it. He flashed the official (8.1.0 oreo) with some tool and when the flashing operation was in 99% it faced with an error user data part. And now my phone is running Android 8.1 but not correctly. The build number is changed to this
(chipset-miamic20 8.2.0.001(00X4)) and system UI is totally different and I don't know what to do now.
We tried to flash other versions but actually nothing is able to be flashed. It comes with error even at the first step of flashing. Every ROM we tried flashing all were unsuccessful and came with error.
Please if there is any way to fix this problem, let me know
The phone is stocked in this ROM.
Here is a screen shot of about device. I'm really disappointed ?HELP PLEASE.

Hi
I've ordered an A10 for my wife. If it comes pre-installed with Android 10, can I downgrade it to Pie so I can install a GSI rom from @phhusson?
TIA
If they are the same bootloader version, you can. If not, you can't. If you don't know how to tell what bootloader version you are, I suggest you use Google.

Thanks for the quick reply but now you've really confused me! If the phone arrives with Android 10 on it what am I comparing against? And if it comes with 9, is there any way to check the bootloader version of the 10 upgrade before I install it (don't want to be stuck on a version I cannot root <g>)
I haven't had a Samsung for over 10 years (S2 - fabulous phone) so I'm a bit out of date. Is the bootloader version still the 5th character from the right in the baseband number?
TIA

Well, first of all I don't know if Android 9 is available for your phone or not lol I don't have the device. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. I suggest looking at sites like Sammobile to see if there is Pie for your phone
And second, yes that's how you can tell the bootloader version on Samsung phones still
Thanks @ShaDisNX255
Good news - it came with Pie not 10 and the bootloader is v3 so I should be good to go
Hello everyone.
Planning on installing OpenKirin ROM on my BKL-L09, i have to downgrade to EMUI 9.0.
Problem is HiSuite doesn't let me go lower than 9.1. I then wanna ask you guys if a downgrade on 9.0 was possible.
Will the 2018 security patch make it impossible ? Is there a way even to do it ?
I know forcing HiSuite to install 9.0 is a bad idea, because i tried installing 8.0 which bricked the device entirely. I had to buy a service to reflash the stock rom.
Bootloader is unlocked.
Have a nice day, guys. Take care of you.
@Soriahz Can you please post the procedure to downgrade from EMUI 10 to 9.1? I am unable to do so on my BKL-L09.

Simply plug the phone while being booted in Android to your PC. Launch HiSuite and go to Software update. Click then on the right part which is called "other versions". You will then have the 9.1.0 update available.
Hello, i've just got a Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX1 with EMUI 9.1.0.381 from a friend. It's my first Huawei and since i am usually running my phones with custom roms, i want to install a custom rom to it. Usually i am trying to get phones that have a reasonable unlock process but this was a gift and i thought it should be possible to install something anyways.
After spending hours into this and reading allot of posts on this forum, i am not eager to open up the hardware and go this potatoe way. I've watches some Youtube videos about the process and i am not sure, if i can manage to get the phone back together. So i was trying the other way with downgrading EMUI to 8 using dload method in order to run dc-unlocker. But somehow i am unable to do so. I am always ending up with "incompatibility with current version" error. I've tried using the dailer code menu, as well as the 3 buttons method. It's not working at all. I've tried multiple versions from androidhost.ru for this phone. There were no options to downgrade to any prior version using HiSuite as well.
Can someone help me to unlock the bootloader for my phone?

If the rollback option is not available with your HiSuite ("switch to the older version" or "Earlier version"), you must downgrade to the lower EMUI 9 build version number doing the dload method (flashing Service ROM ). What is your region? (Cxxx in build number).
Btw, it's impossible to downgrade to the lower EMUI version via dload method.
Hello, thanks for your reply. My current build number is C432E7R1P7. I think i figured that i should use C432 versions but i haven't thought about using another 9.x version and instead go straight to 8.x. Is any lower 9.x version ok?

On EMUI 8 (in order to run dc-unlocker) you need downgrade to .126:

With .126 you should be able to use dc or hcu-client .
Thanks, you've helped me allot! I've got it working and have the bootloader unlocked. Going forward, i was reading your LOS 17/18 thread. I could add a comment there but since we are writing here now, i am going to ask here:
I am still with EMUI 8. Is it actually needed to install another version of EMUI in order to install LineageOS? Isn't it possible to just install TWRP and go on from there?

LOS/LiR requires emui 9.1. Do not install the latest version, flash 9.1.0.200 via dload.
Finally made it and finished installing LOS. Thanks again for your help. I've marked the thread as solved.
No problem .
