Huawei P40 easy firmware downgrade guide / fixes LZ play chinese app install problems - Huawei P40 Guides, News, & Discussion

So I've seen a few people here complaining they can't install google stuff on their phone because they've upgrade it to the latest EMUI version.
Here's an easy way to downgrade to a previous firmware. This works on the P40 version, but it should work on any P40 variant.
1. Download the firmware of your choice from the web. For the P40 european here's a link (it worked on my ANA-NX9 phone:
https://androidhost.ru/XyS
2. Put the ''dload'' folder found in the zip at the root of a usb stick
3. Attach the usb stick to you phone. I take it anyone knows how to do it. Shutdown your phone. Then press and hold volume up and power button until you get to the recovery menu
4. Select Update mode, then select Memory card/OTG update mode
5. The phone will verify and install the firmware
At this point you'll be able to re-install all the google stuff, no more errors when trying to install the Chinese app. Needless to say, disable automatic firmware updates.

For region C10 is suitable ?
---
I will answer my own question - Yes, it works with the region c10

Anyone try P40 Lite 5G? ( CDY-NX9A or Nova 7 5G )

Hello,
I tried to do the same to downgrade my P40 Pro. I've downloaded the correct firmware from androidhost, device version is the same. But I got an "incompatibility with current version" error when selected to update with USB. Any idea what went wrong and how to get it done properly? Thanks!

make sure you do it thru recovery

I have a P40 lite 5G (european version, C432, FW 10.1.1.131)). LZPlay app does not work.
I could not find anywhere an older firmware to try with?!
any suggestions?

Thats what i am asking, does this firmware works for this version ? I'm afraid to brick it...

Can someone link me the firmware for the C636 P40 Pro Plus to downgrade for lzplay/ google?

Thanks for the downgrade guide @schumimtl
Has anyone (beside schumimtl ) already used this guide with the P40 and can confirm that that the linked firmware really works?
I don't want to brick my phone.

Hi, anyone know where to find firmware for ANA-NX9 C636E6R4P1? I did find anywhere but seems not found. Mostly is the EUR version firmware. Not sure if I flash to EUR firmware, it will cause any problem or not to my device.

Is downgrade deleting any data on phone? Or just changes the soft

Yes, it will delete phone data. It's like you did factory reset.

Thanks for the post. My P40 was downgraded successfully. Now with the GMS installation. So far I have tried 2 methods but was unsuccessful. Stuck with adding google account.
Could anyone recommend a method working on this version? TIA

I have downgraded my p40 c432 form version 147 to 114 using this method (I did by myself I have just found the thread xd).
Phone has been updated to .121
And I have achieved to install GMS following this method

[EMUI 5.1] OTA Firmwares and Unbrick Phone method

Consider one day you upset the devil and your phone is bricked by him, lets try to revive the phone from hell (at your own risk) :
Link to the OTA firmware's :
Click here for the links page
Important tools links:
[TOOL] Huawei Multi-Tool v8 by Team MT by inside!out
TWRP Honor 7X img
Stage 1
Download from here everything you need for the procedure - Download Folder Link
I am testing it on my BND-L21 firmware from BND-AL10
Downloading firmware (from topic). Full firmware must be more than 1.5Gb, all smaller is just
OTA Updates to the system.
After that we must download Huawei-MultiTool (future MT) version 8.x.x (link topic)
and downloading custom recovery. We will use TWRP for Honor7x (link topic)
Last we must prepare OTG Cable, SD Card more than 4Gb. On first stage that's all.
Stage 2
Go to MT and reboot phone to Fastboot mode (while phone off, hold "Volume -" and power)
If you did all correctly, you will see in the down right side your number and "Fastboot".
Now go in MT to the Bootloader and check the status. If you have already unlocked, skip this.
If you have locked phone, you must have IMEI and Huawei account. (if not please unlock your bootloader via the Huawei site)
After that, go to Recovery menu and choose our TWRP image in "Custom recovery" section and
type "Recovery". IMPORTANT!!! DON'T FLASH ERECOVERY, I DON'T HAVE THIS IMAGE!!!
After flashing recovery, we must turn off our phone.
Now we must to prepare base system image. In archive we have UPDATE.ZIP file. extract this
file to custom folder and open "Unbrick" in MT and choose "extractor". Open our file in extractor
and click right mouse key on empty space, choose extract all... and choose custom folder to
extracting.
Go to the folder and copy file VENDOR.IMG to the SD-Card (or USB with OTG). Turn on your
device in Recovery mode (Volume + and power), choose Wipe and Wipe ALL partitions! After
doing this, go to Install and choose "Install img", go to the SD-Card, and install VENDOR.img to
VENDOR folder (Important!)
After installing reboot phone again to Fastboot mode and connect to PC.
Now we must download .zip update to your region. We need this for using LTE (4G) in your country + Localization.
After downloading open .zip archive with our CUST file. archive must be called update_BND-
YOUR-NUMBER_hw_YOUR- COUNTRY.zip
From this archive we must extract .img file from root folder. It can be called cust.img CUST.img
version.img etc.
if name different from CUST.img rename it and put to the extracted UPDATE.app folder.
Last Stage 3
In MT go to Unbrick, choose our unpacked system with our CUST file and we must have at least
4/5 checkbox. And just type "UNBRICK" and wait. NOTICE: at moment of extracting system.img
it will be about 10-15 minutes. It's not a freezing of PC)
After good installing in log you will see like "All ok" Just reboot phone and you will see low level
factory reset, or something else like formatting. After formatting phone will reboot to the system.
That's all

there is a procedure used by EU users to completely revive the phone using the OTA but the procedure is too long which i haven't tried yet and is completely for users who have dead phones for now and yes obviously there is no official firmware available for Honor 7x but the user from an EU forum revived his phone so it is possible from the images.
though i made this thread for users who want to update their firmwares and not the procedure to flash a stock firmware since there is not one available yet but i can point to the thread where this user posted the procedure if someone wants to try. PM me

There are teams who have unlocked a lot of stuff like flashing international FW,
flashing gapps on chinese fw, Automatic Call Recording, restoring the phone.
so i am in contact with them to make our phone better. lets keep our fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed:
i am waiting for firmware flashing to get it translated from one of the users.
This is the full recovery package right? Atleast for the Indian version?

They arent recovery packages. they are full OTA which can be flashed for updating.
but there is a process to compile them into making them stock firmware packages but due to the long procedure i didnt post it here. rather wait for official stock firmware package.
sid21 said:
Hello Honor 7X Users, turns out there is firmware available for flashing for the AL10 and L21 variants
but i haven't tried them out and can post the procedure if someone needs it but all credit goes to PRO-TEAMMT for releasing them for us so now if we mess up we got official firmware's latest available to go back to.
I personally haven't tested any but i soon will.

exactly what you want to do?
this is to update to the latest firmware. if you have the latest firmware you dont need it.
the multi tool is used to flash stock with a procedure which is only needed to return to stock or else theres no need for it for the most part..

1) ???
2) Not sure there is always a chance of bricking
3) Yes, if you don't know what you're doing. No if you're not going to be flashing anything.
4) You should be able to and also refer to #1.
5) None available
6) None available
7) You can't, no stock image released = no procedures to unbrick

1- can i upgrade the system at every update (when the device is rooted) with Firmware finder many times even if I don't recive the notification on the phone of the update (or if the device updater cannot find it)?
2-ok but if do all right steps you cannot brick the phone, no?
3-ok i only wanna unlock bootloader, flash twrp and root the phone. If I do all right steps there are no risks, no?
4-i don't understand it (in hisuite there s the option that says "Update device". With the device rooted can I update the phone with this software?)
5-ok but can I do one with a custom recovery, no?
6-ok so we just have to wait, no?
7-ok. Same thing of the - 6 (we have to wait for the UPDATE.APP for the 7x to be able to UNBRICK the phone in case it could happen, no?)
Sorry for my bad English and thanks for the answers?

1. yes you can if the app supported honor 7x with their firmware but it doesn't yet, use twrp
2. yes you can upgrade via flashing it in twrp
3. unlocking bootloader itself is dangerous let alone rooting since your waranty is gone since there is still no sign of official stock firmware
4. same as no. 1 ans
5. if u flashed twrp you can do your nandroid backup which can be later restored anytime so it will be obv on the phone at that time
6. manual or local update? in the op main post i guess? by opening the link?
7. Still no official firmware and the procedure i am aware of consists of turning the official chinese firmware into normal by changing settings and stuff which is a long procedure so probably if u brick, u r stuck until honor decides to release stock firmware
by the looks i guess you have no clue about phone flashing, its better you dont try anything until there are guides properly made for newbies. :silly:

I rooted my 7X(Al10) version successfully but while performing the reset, deleted the system file also by mistake. There is no TWRP backup. Is there any way to get the stock OS files again to flash in TWRP ? Or does anyone have a backup file they made that they can share? I tried Huawei e-recovery too, but that gets stuck at 'unable to get package info'. The people at the service centre can't think of any other method to restore the phone, except changing the motherboard. When is the official stock file expected to be available?

1. In the app firmware finder there are firmwares for the phone but how can I flash a official firmware (OTA I mean) if there are no one (or how can I flash a firmware finder Update)?
2. Same thing in -1 (I mean)
3. Ok. Now we have to wait the official stock firmware, no? (i don't understand this answer, please write it in another way)
4. I don't understand it
5. Okok (obv? Sorry I'm Italian hahaha)
6. It's not the same thing local or manual? Write it in another way please hahaha google translate doesnt help me?
7. Okok, So if I don't use your method I only have to wait that honor release the official stock firmware (UPDATE. APP). And for greater security it's better wait it before to root and unlock bootloader etc, no?
Anyway, I have an idea of ​​what flashing is, in fact every device I have (they are all Samsung, so that's why I'm disoriented) is completely modified. The fact is that I dont have much experience (I'm 14 years old) with non-Samsung devices, in fact my honor 7x I received for Christmas and for the hurry and the want to modify it, I would like to know all these things.
Thank you

OK thanks I'll keep it aside in case of brick
I would recommend everyone to not do experiments over your phone to try and root and flash random stuff..
they only have official chinese firmware for flashing so its better to wait for the official firmware for non chinese version.
the method which i know of to flash on the phone is for people with flashing knowledge cz the procedure is not simple and secondly even i have been flashing my phone for many years on various devices yet i havent got the guts to root this first honor device cz their partitions are different and somewhat secured so dont play with it.
wait for the official firmware for your respective devices. maybe they will straightaway launch the oreo firmware.

How to install huawei firmware?

Hi everybody, I'm a new p20 lite user and I want to ask you: do you know how to install a original firmware? I've tried to follow the dload method (so I put the update.app file into the dload directory that it's located in the external sd card) but the installation process stops at 5%. I found the update.zip file using firmware finder, the firmware I want to install it's avaiable for me (I checked the imei) and I tried with ota and full ota. Maybe I have to unlock the bootloader or root my device before? If someone need my actual build is ANE-LX1 8.0.0.145(C432).

- 1, 2, 3 and 4 should work without unlock bootloader.
- 5 and 6 is a must unlock bootloader.
- dload folder is not working with this firmware. Dload folder still working but I don't know how to find that specific firmware (dload package).

Ok thank you for your replay. I took a look at the post. I've tried to install the firmware using huawei firmware finder (proxy and dns methods) but nothing to do. I have a question for the Huawei eRecovery method of your post: there's no way to not wipe user data? Because for me it will be annoying. Anyway, why if huawei finder tell me a firmware is approved, then via ota there are no one updates??

Nowadays FF is not working as did in the past, I hope it be fix soon.
No, is not possible, to install via eRecovery always wipe data partition, at least I don't know how to avoid it.
That happened to me two days ago, I was running B148 and I find that B150 was approved for installation on the FF app, then I checked settings/system/ system update and no OTA there
To update firmware I'm been using HuRUpdater tool

Ok I understand, well so I'll wait for OTA update that comes this month...

[OTA] Nokia 6.1 Plus (a.k.a Nokia X6, Codename DRG) Update DDLs

These update packages should work on global variant Nokia X6.
Usage:
Confirm your current version by dialing *#*#227#*#* before update.
Then download the package and rename to the specific filename I gave, place it to root directory of internal storage and dial *#*#874#*#* to update.
After the update procedure completed, update package will be deleted from your phone automatically.
Global Release:
Note: From DRG-250A build, it blocked current bootloader unlock method, be careful.

how to update the path for x6
Hello,
*#*#227#*#* works well.
*#*#874#*#* has no response at all. Is root or bootloader required to do that?
I just realize the X6 I bought from ebay is global firmware version, which does not support OTA. Use OTA to update to latest firmware is a key feature I am looking for. I do not care it is China version or Global version.
Do you have any suggestion that what should be the easiest way? Hopefully no bootloader required. Thanks!
google play pretent CN OTA?
Boss,
After discuss with many other user, we think it is because I am using China version rom, but installed Google play, which pretent OTA update.
Do you think so? Could you give us a solution?
I bought the phone from ebay. I just need OTA.

Hey I just installed the pie version on my Nokia 6.1 plus (TA-1083).
Will the installation void my warranty?
My camera app is crashing like crazy... Is anyone else experiencing this?

No, it will not destroy the warranty at all. As for the camera app, go to the app's settings and try wiping its data completely. Then reboot your phone and try again.

Well, that didn't do the trick, but I just simply clicked 'disable' after wiping the data and it gave me a message of "uninstalling app and installing factory camera app" which worked beautifully.
Now everything's working fine.

because when i type it on my phone, it give message such install, chance data erased, and the last is root
"Would you like to install the following system software?
System upgrade to 330B.B01
You will be unable to use your device or make emergency calls during the upgrade.
It will lead to unexpected result if you cut off power or remove downloaded file while updating software.
There is small possibility of erasing user data caused by upgrade purpose. If need, please backup your data before installing system upgrade.
The normal update can not be guaranteed after the device is rooted. If root contributes to abnormal use on the device in update process, the user should be responsible for it oneself"

Mate 20 pro back to stock - no update method works

Hi
I have Mate 20 Pro (Lya-L09, EMUI 9.0.0) that I upgraded from original firmware to 9.0.0.210 using MikeOS method.
Now i just want it back to stock as when i 'check for updates' it never finds any even though i know new firmware has been released OTA.
I have downloaded updated firmware through Firmware Finder (tried both through the phone and through the app)
However, no method seems to work (I've tried all of them). They usually just error out or nothing at all. I've tried/looked at different tools: SP Flash, Flashy, Dload (dialer and eRecovery), MikeOS.
I'm happy to lose everything and start again, i just don't know how and I'm going around in circles looking at various websites and threads.
Any help appreciated.
Which cust is your device ? Cxxx ?
Does your bootloader is unlocked ?

Try changing your home internet/Wi-Fi DNS and then use eRecovery. Some ISPs may block access to China sites. At least mine does. When I use my home Wi-Fi, I can't access some China sites, but if I use my cell network instead, I can access those sites without problem.
Factory reset your phone first might help. Since you tried so many ways to update, you might have messed up some system files.

Hi
With recovery I changed my DNS on the router and my phone. With FF, I tested to hicloud and it worked, but when it reset it couldn't access the package and directed me to Huawei website.
Factory reset is something to consider.

If i'm using the Hisuite update method, how do i point it to the b212 flash? Wouldn't Hisuite just look online for an update?

You register an approved B212 on FirmwareFinder, then you used patched hisuite with FirmwareFinder DNS and the Hisuite's update option.
That should update you to B212.

I had some issues originally of HiSuite just kept closing on my laptop when i clicked 'update'. Took about 5 goes and having HiSuite showing on my phone for the update to begin.
Have since downloaded new update OTA (273).
Awesome!

So far on kirin980 there is only dirty-softrebrand. (DC-Phoenix flash or forced hisuite flash or even possibly renamed dload package flash)
Meaning device's vendorcountry stays the same, but with cust and preload forced to another region. Beware of that on emui10 where it seems there is checks at boot about cust&preload version.

Yes, you can use HiSuite and HiSuite proxy to upgrade to official Android 9.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/hisuite-proxy-huawei-phones-updater-t4082561
You can download the Firmware finder app (by Team MT) in GP store on your tab and check what is lastest OS (Full OTA) for your tablet (Android 9.1 I guess). After setup of HiSuite Proxy, Enter the filelist link (you find it in the app) into "package URL" HiSuite Proxy, remove all other text, and check "point version" by package URL and run setup. Then you can start up HiSuite and connect your tablet to your PC and "check for updates". That shall start the upgrade.

Did you remove the links and model in the others? (Cust and preloaded). Could also try to enter the same link in all. If nothing works, you may need the Cust and preloaded package to update your device.. Weird how I didn't need to do so on my M5 10" :silly:

After some research it seems like you will need the cust and preloaded package to update from A8 to A9.. So that is probably why I didn't need it, as I was already on A9 and just updated to the latest version.. Hope you get it sorted out
were you able to make it to work?
