You mostly probably loose volte

Your device is Indian version, but update notice Japanese version. Dont know why you get this notice, maybe you register Japanese version in FF.
I think it will failed or if success install, you will break some function.
But do a backup then try update.

Dont update. it will download and eventually fail. you may have just selected the firmware for FRD-L02 and not given the CXYZ so it has pushed this update. Dont use firmware from other region to flash on other phone.

Flash update from other region with firmware finder

So before I brick my phone trying this can I flash an update from another region using firmware finder?
My phone is c782 and on 9.0.0.160 but for c432 9.0.0.197 is out.
Firmware finder says it's authorised for install which I would do via erecovery/hotspot with DNS change
I'm not trying to rebrand and don't have unlocked bootloader.
Will this work?
Edit
No. It doesn't work

I'm on c432 and for me it was perfectly possible to flashba C782 firmware. Then why wouldn't this work in the opposite direction?
Dunno had the getting package info failed error and gave up then. I've used FF before so k ow my setup works normally.
Is your bootloader unlocked?

Was unlocked ?. A week ago hardbricked my phone and in the recovery process installed a wrong oeminfo. Now I have other imei's than original.....
Oh man that sucks.
I've given up with this phone decided to just see if and when updates are released then wait for a new handset from a different manufacturer. Not sure what yet, I like the Huawei devices but can't support the way they lock customers down. It's like having an iPhone back lol

Hi m8,
Usually C900 is the version of the cust that gets flashed another firmware from another device and messes it up. Was your phone bought from a retailer? Do you have an option to return it and get an replacement?
If not, you can try to flash on it this firmware from C432 cust (it's an global firmware used on many custs on EMUI 9.1) and see if it get's any uodates after you flash it. For info about flashing using dload firmware, see my post about from here #791.
HUAWEI P30 ELE-L29 HW EU HLRCF ELLE-L29B 9.1.0.193(C432E4R2P2) FIRMWARE 9.0.0 R3 EMUI9.1.0 05015SFK
Feel free to ask if you need more assistance
SilviuO
did the above worked? i have almost the same firmware build c900e106r1p16 ele-l29
followed SilviuO answer and updated to that version but again cannot get any new updates. As long as you cannot unlock the bootloader you will stuck at this and all updates would be done manually when available from other members.

There are 2 options:
1. It was a VOG unit intented to be used by the on-line/offline testers or some reviewers and usually those tests devices has C900 cust (in that case it means NO OTA or other updates);
2. It had another cust and used paid services (as Funky Huawei) to flash firmwares and flashed a wrong one whitch f####d up the cust and without unlocked bootlader you can't change it or rebrand it

Update issues after Downgrade

Hi all, I have downgraded my p40 pro to 131 to get google apps working. Then tried auto updates and it tells me that there is an update but same version 131, updated to 131 using auto update but it still keeps telling me that I'm on 131 and same version of update available. Connected to PC and use Hisuite and same story, tells me 131 update available (which I already have) and nothing else. Was able to update to 154 using proxy but now same story, it keeps telling me that 154 update available which I did auto update but I still get notification that I there is new update to 154. I cleared data and cache both for Huawei Core and Update app but still same story.
Please help!?!
You will need to use Hisuit Proxi & firmware finder to get more upto date firmware.

hi, should I update it using FullOTA-MF or OTA-MF only? thanks
Select Full, and use the check availability option to make sure its an approved for install as well, else it will fail.

thanks, another question is, will it wipe off the phone?
When I did mine, No. But remove or backup any personal stuff off your memory card if you have one, just in case. Note if you've done the GMS install, make sure you log into All you're accounts, ie YouTube etc first before upgrading firmware. Cause you won't be able to add later.

Update: Ok found it, it is via the advance button and paste the link there to check if it's approved or not.
Is this done via the HiSuit Proxy Advance button? how can i check if it's approved or not?
Use firmware finder to check it's an approved version.

Hmmm we are all on C636. No idea what went wrong. Only difference is 4RP1 and 5RP1. Any difference in those?
Same situation here, I downgrade to version 131 o install GSM and now the phone won't update.
I had to update it using HiSuite and now I'm on 183 version.
Hope there is a way to fix the OTA updates on the phone.
getting regular updates after installing GMS via googlefier
Doing some research I have found what is happening:
On your P40 Pro, in the "About phone" screen you can see the build number and then a number between ( ), example: Build number 10.1.0.131 (C636E8R5P1)
The number after the C will tell you the version or region of your firmware, in the example C636 = version/region 636
When you downgrade using a different version/region you will loose the OTA updates on the phone, and this will only be restored after you install your correct version/region firmware.
You will need to find the correct version of your firmware and have the "dload" version, and install it from external card. There is a video showing how to do this, but the link on the video is for a version/region 636, if you have a different version/region it won't fix anything.
Once you have the correct firmware and install it, you will begin receiving OTA again. This process, at least on my phone, erased everything, so be aware of this.
