Hi
I recently bought a p20 lite from Facebook and i think the previous owner must have flashed the wrong firmware. In developer options there is no oem unlock button, and i tried eRecovery and it didn't work. The phone is dual sim, some apps see as if the phone is rooted and when i check with root checker, there's no root. I'm from South Africa and i hope i provided the necessary information. I would like to downgrade the phone to the firmware I'll be able to get the bootloader code from.

Hi, just to be sure -
A) enter Project Menu (*#*#2846579#*#*) > 'Network info ... ' > 'Vendor country info'
B) In fastboot mode run command
fastboot oem oemimforead-CUSTOM_VERSION
and post the results.
Edit.: what was the reason for the failure with erecovery?

Thanks for the reply man.
Vendor country is hw/meafnaf. Secondly, I get oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION failed. When i did erecovery i got 'Getting package info failed' i did factory reset and tried again but same error.

Okay, try this way out:
1. Download Oreo Service ROM
2. Unpack it and copy dload folder (can be found in 'Software') to the SD Card (without unpacking it!)
3. Turn of your phone and use three button combo (dload method) .
The process will erase all your data!

Hey bro I can't thank you enough. All went well after dload, I got my oem unlock button working, all that's left is to get my bootloader code. After I get it I want to root my phone, so can you please help me with a tutorial, from installing the correct twrp for my device and flashing magisk?

Anyway, you can download your build's update.zip from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
and download Huawei Update Extractor.
Extract update.app from update.zip

So I unlocked bootloader and FRP. Installed magis. It was working, but when i tried to install xposed, it went into a bootloop. Now I'm stuck at eRecovery screen with nothing working. I've done factory reset 10-15 times. Clicking 'Download latest version and recovery' is also not giving anything. Can go to fastboot mode. Went there, saw FRP was locked. Thinking I'll redo the process, I relocked the bootloader. But now the commands aren't working as neither 'allow oem unlock' nor 'usb debugging' is enabled. I can't enable them as phone won't boot up. Any solutions? Please help.

I tried flashing original firmware using DC-Pheonix. But phone is still in bootloop
What your build ?
If this phone with OREO or with NOUGAT / Android 8.x or 7.x ?
Possibly didn't work because the rom was of a different built. I've an ANE-AL00 8.0.0.131. Any solutions for this fix? Thanks.

Yes. I flashed same file only. But not booting up. In DC, it says file writing complete when in fastboot mode. But in upgrade mode, it fails at 5/31 PACKAGE_TYPE.
I'm using update.app from update.zip. Is that what I should be using? Should I use the other zip files(cn, public etc.)? Please help.

It seems like you are doing well, but have you read the instructions carefully? They recommend when something fail.
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/huawei-phone-flashing-in-fastboot
@Arseon
you write "ANE-AL00 8.0.0.131" - this is not the "full" build : what's your Cxxx ?
on FirmwareFinder i see (example)ANE-AL00C00B133 ( C00 = Country '00'; B133 = Build Counter )
you need the correctly build from your phone !!!
you can boot to bootloader ?
your bootloader is unlockt ?
your FRP is unlock ?
you have download your build FULL-Update ?
you have with UpdateExtractor from Update.app (inside Update.zip)
- ramdisk.img
- recovery_ramdisk.img
- system.img
extracted ? The Extractor do automatic for all *.img a *.img.header.
you have copy this 6 files to your ADB-Folder ?
If this all "YES" then boot to bootloader and
- fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img
- fastboot flash system system.img
reboot phone, phone start to eRecovery and Low-Level format "data" and boot to system.
phone start as "new" phone (initial settings)
good : phone work
no good : all data is lost
AND very important : do not relock the bootloader !
ONLY if bootloader 'unlockt' you can self-repair !

Since bootloader and frp locked, adb commands are not working. Hence I'm using DCPheonix to flash the file. But without luck. It's still botting to eRecovery only
your phone is C675, you flash C00 : no correct
now is inside your phone a 'mix'
i think, you can no self-repair - sorry
@Arseon, my opinion your system partition is a mess due to xposed installation fail.
The solution for this case is restore system partition, it worked for me in the past.
In some cases we can get lucky install a clean system partition even if it is from other region code, because the main differences between regions are located in the other partitions
But what I learning is that system from C00 region don’t follow this standard because at least is missing google apps.
With DCPheonix did with get lucky and flash all files or just the first 4 and stop in the PACKAGE_TYPE?
same situation
I am in the same situation, can only boot to erecovery. I tried boot fastboot flash 4 files (because i have bootloader and frp unlocked) and dc-unlocker without luck. In both cases pass the flash but phone still not boot, only erecovery. I can get twrp works now following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...covery-twrp-3-2-1-0-p20-lite-edition-t3800692 but i dont have backups because i do a factory reset and the internal storage is empty. What can i do in twrp? I flash the correctly firmware for my phone ANE-LX3 8.0.0.104(C605), with this file ANE-LX3C605B130 (8.0.0.130) from here: http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=ANE-LX3&firmware_page=0 . Any other suggestion?
Edit: I can solve my problem. When I connect my phone in fastboot mode to dc-unlocker it give me an info:
Found Phone : ANE-LX3
Model : Huawei phone in fastboot mode
IMEI : 867903xxxxxxxxxxxx

and with the firmware info I download that version exactly (ANE-LX3 8.0.0.104(C605, found on easy-firmware web page, paid), flash with dc-phoenix, and i got it, the device boots again. Hope it help to anyone, thks. This thing cost me 28 usd, too expensive for unroot a device lol

In pretty sure you are flashing the wrong firmware, try to push your version with dc-unlocker in fastboot and download the excatly matching firmware. Good luck
well, i have all of this+one more tougher stuff..
Well, I tried to install a custom ROM on my P20 Lite (ane-lx1) via TWRP aand when I failed I ended up into a bootloop, but the thing that got me a headache after a full day of forum research is that when I attempted to install the custom ROM the TWRP wanted a .img file, not a .zip file, so I rebooted after I alreday wiped out everything, I made a backup into the phone, BUT I cant access it because.. the TWRP freezes every time at the TeamWin logo.....the only thing that is accessible now its the fastboot&rescue mode and I'm out of juice and desperated...the bootloader is enabled...i think i preety much killed my phoen and my brain trying to get an android stock experience...i really have to get some sleep,well..thank you for your attention, if you have any suggestions that would pick me up from this mess I would be very greatfull, i'll see what i had left to do as soon as i'm able to...for now, have a good night/day/afternoon, whatever side of the world you're from
Edit:
I left the phone all night into bootloobing and after it got FULLY discharged, I dont know exactly how but the TWRP hasn't popped out, instead after this I was able to get into eRecovery and now it is downloading the 146(C432) version. I guess that I got lucky
Requirements / Downloads
Honor 10 view BKL-09 with unlocked bootloader (I not tested in other version)
Minimal ADB & Fastboot

2. Download the patched file for your device and copy it to Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder.
3. Start your smartphone in fastboot mode pressing [Vol-]+[Power] and connect it to your PC.
4. Open a Powershell window in your Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder by [Shift]+[Rightclick].
5. Flash the Recovery_Ramdisk:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk name_of_your_patched_file.img
Adjusting Magisk Manager and patching files by yourself
1. Download Magisk Manager canary build to your phone and install.
2. Change in Magisk settings the update channel to "custom" inserting this URL. https://t2m.io/wuAFCrwO
Magisk Manager now will find the canary builds.
3. Check "force encryption" and "AVB 2.0" boxes.
To patch yourself recovery_ramdisk:
4.a) Patch your *.img, that you have copied in any folder to your smartphone by pressing "Install" --> "Install" --> "Patch boot image" in Magisk Manager.
ORIGINAL RECOVERY_RAMDISK BKL-09 PIE version 9.0.0.162 C432
5. Transfer the patched file (You will find it in your download folder of your smartphone. It will be called "patched_boot.img".) to your PC, start Smartphone in fastboot mode and flash:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk name_of_your_patched_file.img
(You must adapt the file name to the real name of your file, e.g. patched_boot.img)
To actualize Magisk:
4.b) Choose in Magisk Manager: "Install" --> "Install" --> "Direct Install (Recommended)" --> Restart

Flash in bootloader mode. Not in twrp.
Android pie not work with twrp for now.
I am on ROOTED EMUI 8.0 (BKL-L09 8.0.0.130). How do I update to pie and then root? First unroot than update than root? or just update and root with the instructions in post#1?
Sadly it does not work for me. Tried it with your patches bootimage and with my own. Flashing the ramdisk works fine but after restart I don't have root.
I dont need Magisk installed if I use the pre patches bootimage right? Nevertheless I tried with Magisk installed and without. In the Huawei Mate Forum I read that one might need to shutdown the phone after flashing and then to start it with Volume Up and Power Button pressed. But this also does not work. Or any Idea how exactly to start with this Key combination?
Any other suggestions?
Today I updated from OREO with root to PIE same version as you have in pictures 9.0.0.162(C432E4R1P9). Tried both steps (with your patched file and me patching file) to root my phone but even I always got OK in fastboot mode I still have no root

Worked like a breeze for me. Shoutout to @ante0 and @shashank1320 who kept their calm in guiding me through and suggesting me this method.
@ante0 made things easier for me and it worked excellently for me. The steps are-
Download and install Magisk canary builds from the mentioned link. Change in Magisk settings the update channel to "custom" inserting*this*URL.*https://t2m.io/wuAFCrwO
Magisk Manager now will find the canary builds.
Check "force encryption" and "AVB 2.0" boxes.
Transfer stock recovery ramdisk to phone, open Magisk Mnager and hit install - > patch boot image, select recovery_ramdisk.img. Take patched_boot.img from /sdcard/Download/ and transfer to computer, reboot to fastboot and flash patched_boot.img to recovery_ramdisk. Unplug USB, holv vol up + power to reboot to recovery, which will now boot phone with Magisk. If you reboot and don't hold vol up it will boot to system without root.

Emui9 doesn't have a ramdisk partition. You flash to recovery_ramdisk, then when you reboot hold volume up to get to recovery (unplug USB as it will take you to erecovery if you have it plugged in).
This is the only way to get root on Emui9, currently.
It will not boot to recovery, it will boot to system with Magisk.
Not flash ramdisk. Need flash recovery_ramdisk!

@ante0 has been helping me get root access and we still are working on it.
@fabio84 did you by a chance experience issues in using root applications especially root explorer or root Uninstaller? For some reason they won't just work for me, just titanium and root checker works. On further scrutinising, I found the su binary files missing probably why the applications won't load for me. Any help?

Hi everyone, this is my first post here on Xda,
I seem to have committed a costly mistake since this is not available in India, in a hurry i bought the Japanese version of this phone, the S0-51B,which incidentally is a single sim variant. Is there anyway of I can flash this Chinese Rom and achieve Dual Sim?
I saw online that there is not much hardware difference between this and the Chinese version. Can anyone kindly confirm this?.

Hi folks, I've had a Huawei P20 Lite lying around here for a while. It is a demo device.
I was able to successfully unlock the bootloader with using the Testpoint method.
Now I need help to change the country code from "demo" to "eu" and I also need the right firmware. Is there a free way to change the country code?
I hope you can help me with that ? Thanks in advance.

Hi, look here
If you are running EMUI 9.1, flash C432 oeminfo and use variant with HuRupdater https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...0-0-046-070f-emui-8-0-0.4324543/post-85538623
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...0-0-046-070f-emui-8-0-0.4324543/post-85538725
Thanks in advance. Somehow I can no longer get into the / system or the smartphone can no longer boot. When running HuRupdater I also get an error message that / System cannot be mounted. It only boots TWRP
I was able to import the oeminfo beforehand. There weren't any problems.

Can you write down exactly what you did?
What is your version of EMUI?
In fastboot mode run commands:
fastboot oem get-build-number
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
fastboot oem oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
and post the results.
I guess I've stupidly used the wrong command line a number of times to get twrp to run.
fastboot flash system, boot or recovery twrp....
At least it worked with the country ID change ... if only a small consolation for the first
fastboot oem get-build-number
(bootloader) :ANE-LX1 8.0.0.112(C432)
fastboot getvar vendorcountry
vendorcountry: hw/eu
fastboot oem oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION
FAILED (remote: 'The reason of failed input oem_nv_item error!')
fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
(bootloader) :ANE-LX1 8.0.0.112(C432)

your firmware is incomplete, it must be 8.0.0.143, if I'm not mistaken. Try again Huru method & factory reset in Stock recovery (not in TWRP!).
Or, download Service ROM Link , unpack , there's dload folder in "Software" . Copy dload folder (without unpacking it) to the OTG flash, turn off the phone and press and hold both volume buttons + Power ( this method will lock the BL again).
Thanks for the files. But i get an
Softwaere install failed
Incompatibility with current version.
Please download the correct update package.
EDIT: cant find the firmware version: ANE-L01C185B112 / ANE-LX1 8.0.0.112(C432)
EDIT2: same fail with 8.0.0.178(C432)

Probably due to incomplete firmware .112 , ( it was stupidity on my part to suggest Service ROM in this case, sorry. Maybe I was too sleepy...).
1. Try again Hurupdater method, it should work (don't forget to press Volume down)
2. Reboot into eRecovery, if possible, and select Download latest version and recovery

Okay, idon't think that's relevant anymore anyway
I found the problem. It was the TWRP version. I took the latest one (twrp-3.5.2_9-0-anne.img) and it couldn't mount the /system partition. Now I took a version from this forum (twrp-3.2.1-0.img), which seems to be specially adapted for the Huawei devices. Unfortunately, it doesn't support OTG, but that wasn't a problem because I moved the files it to the internal memory.
Only with this twrp version could HuRUpdater.zip be executed correctly and all other files just like that. Here, too, I was first asked to press the vol-down button.
After the smartphone finally boots properly, I flash the firmware via dload to lock the bootloader again and do over the Recovery Wipe data / factory reset + cach partition.
Now I'm on version 8.0.0.046(0CXB). Unfortunately the device cannot find a new firmware version and nothing can be updated via HiSuit.
Can you tell me which step I have to take now to get the latest Android version for the device?
Thank you very much so far for your help

Unfortunately, you have incomplete FW there again, I think you're doing something wrong. And until the correct FW is there, you won't be able to receive OTA update or update via dload.
If you have followed instructions to the letter , it must work.
Use this TWRP . ( I don't know why you used TWRP 3.5.2.9, in the guide there is a link to 3.2.1-pretoriano80.). 3.5.2.9 isn't fully compatible with our device.
Try this way out:
- Flash TWRP
- Wipe - format data
- Reboot back to TWRP
- Wipe - Advanced wipe - wipe Dalvik/ART, cache, data, system
- Go back and flash HuRu
Note: the installation of the first file (write radio image...) must take longer, 2-3 minutes, this is proof that the installation is proceeding properly.
Btw, have you tried update via eRecovery & Wi-Fi?
Did it exactly like that. And then the 9.1.0.370 (C432) from the same thread loaded (dload / ANE-L01_hw_eu).
Now i have the firmware: ANE-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.370 in the device information.
Unfortunately, there is no further update, but I also don't know whether the current one is already the most recent?
What I also notice is that Dual-Sim settings are available in the menus. The IMEI2 is only provided with 000000000000000. I know that my device "only" supports single SIM.
Can I fix that too? Then everything should be fine as far as possible

Oh, it's all clear now
Because this oeminfo is for dual SIM. Oeminfo for single SIM can be found for example here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/c432-single-sim-oeminfo.3873312/
Also update_all_hw.zip file is for ANE-L21, you need ANE-L01, unfortunately, I don't have files for single SIM.

Maybe...You have to downgrade to Oreo via HuRupdater using downloaded files, then install TWRP over eRecovery and install stock Recovery.
Download https://androidhost.ru/2zMw and create dload folder .
In TWRP install new oeminfo.img , then go back to the main TWRP's menu, select Reboot > Power off. Use three buttons kombo to flash service ROM.
To be honest, I've never tried a variation like this, so I'm not responsible for this procedure, but it should work. The question is, is it worth it ...

Which step is missing now exactly? I followed the steps from you. I also used the files from the other thread that you linked. The single-sim / dual-sim problem is not important either. The main thing is that it works that way too

Are you sure? In my opinion, this is your main problem...
Hello, it's been a while. I sat down again and went through everything. The dual SIM files fold onto a single SIM smartphone. I was finally able to install the update via eRecovery after flashing via TWRP. Then two updates were pulled or installed via Android OS. Now I'm on 9.1.0.132 (C432E5R1P7).
