Link already provided to download HiSuite. (http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html)
HiSuite is a program developed by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. The most used version is 32.610.28.00.06, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins.

Thanks for the response. I 've installed it on my computer and when I tried updating, it says am on the latest software by still on EMUI 4.0 and I don't understand how that can be the latest version.

NXT-L29C185B520
This is an early build of EMUI 5.0 for Huawei Mate. That’s why it appears to be having issues with Bluetooth, Keyboard input, Permissions, Notifications, Dual SIM Option and SIM compatibility, among other bugs.
You'd to wait for Official Stable Version.

Thanks very much. I guess I will wait for the official build then I will update. If you do get a stable build by the way, kindly hint me on it. Thanks very much for ur help

Old firmware?

Hi all. Today I purchased an Honor 6x. I am in the UK. The phone has been on all day and I have been tapping the update button like crazy. It seems that I am stuck on EMUI 4.1.3 and Android Marshmallow. Should there be a Nougat update in the UK for this phone? Thanks in advance

Have a look HERE, latest firmware is B366.

Ah thanks both. I've just had a look at that site and firmware finder. As there doesn't seem to be an OTA update heading my way I might give firmware finder a bash. Many thanks.

No, it doesn't work at 100%, often users detect problems of various types after using FF here on XDA, this because it can download even packages that not always match your phone variant...

Updates should be already came out if I'm not wrong, try to force the update by clicking on system uodaye -> 3 dots on the upper right corner -> down latest update. If nothing is found, try to write to Huawei and ask about the most recent update for your build

I have sent Huawei an email requesting information with regards to an update. Obviously I'll get no reply being the weekend so I have been sat here looking at firmware finder. So close to using it. From what I understand it won't void the warranty of the phone if I update using firmware finder. What if the update doesn't work can I revert back to the original version. What if the update bricks the phone? Is that easy to fix?
TIA

The rollback packages are available only for a limited amount of models at the moment (and i think forever, if Huawei wouldn't upload other packages as they've decided to do) so it could be a pain without a proper TWRP backup. For unbricking, there are some methods for doing that and it could be easy like it couldn't be, it just depends by the problem that could occur.

Ah thanks RedSkull. I might try and kerb my eagerness and see if I get a response from Huawei. This week's a bit busy so probably not the time to try anything risky.

Its okayyy! My issue has been resolved lol i just had to dload a b330 firmware then the rest of the ota came flooding in ??

And I'm back again! Now with the aged old emui 5 problem, anyone found a way to disable auto dimming on chrome? Or forced it to run on Performance mode like we could back in emui 4? The chrome dimming doesn't really bother me too much but it happens in the middle of my Rules Of Survivor matches and starts lagging while dimmed. That's hella annoying ? really dont want all these effort of updating to emui 5 to go a waste n end up going back go 4.1 ??

Downgrade from 11 to 10 for install GMS (HELP)

Hello guys. I have a mate 30 pro 4g EU version. LIO-L29
EMUI version - 11.0.0.188
I wanna downgrade to 10. Because i wanna install GMS. I have succes downgrade last 2 week on p40 pro.
Now i try first to downgrade first from Hisuite. I have install Hisuite_10.1.0.550, but i dont have the button switch to other version.
if i try to HiSuite Proxy, i recive error:
[15:48:06]: Connection To HISuite Proxy Failed....
[15:48:07]: Check If Your Firewall Is Blocking HISuite's Proxy Server
i have add the app to the firewall, i have stopped the firewall...same
Please help me to figure out.

Hey man. I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately, I don't think we are able to downgrade to a lower version. So, we are stuck without Google. The only negative of not having GMS is the delay or no notifications coming in at all. Hopefully apps will be updated to work well with HUAWEI notification eco system.

Hey bro. I have succed to make it

ช่วยบอกวิธีทำหน่อย thank you

Hey, can you share with us how you downgraded from 11.0.0.188. Thank you.

With hisuite proxy

Thanks. Which firmware version you downgraded to?

Well, after multiple attempts using different firmware versions, the update fails after it has reached the 100% download. Have no clue what else to do. Firewalls are off, antivirus off. Anybody?

I followed this guide: Make sure those selections matches your phones need (region, etc..). If they don't match,..you know what might happen.
Complete Guide
Modifying HiSuite and manipulating it's connection data to install Roms before they officially get released. - ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy
github.com
BUT like I mentioned at a different thread. If downgrading to 10, Googlefier Wouldn't work. Also, I had lost USB connection and fast/super charge. But I think downgrading to a lower 11 should be ok. But I don't know. If you loose that, just upgrade again.

@robjbw thanks for answering. It will help everyone.

Hi i ubdated p40 11.0.0.207 (c432) now there is no option gor swith to other version at hisuite to downgrade tried older and newer version of hi suite any suggestions thanks

Software install failed when trying to downgrade

I know many folks have tried to downgrade and there are many people with suggestions to downgrade Mate 30 pros.
Mine is a LIO-L29, region C637, with firmware 11.0.0.215, using Android 10, but after 9 attempts, however, none have worked. I always receive the Software install failed after about 45 minutes of downloading and I installing a previous version.
I have followed the instructions to the dot by systems hacks (
):
I downloaded HiSuite 11.0.0.510, downloaded HiSuite Proxy, from firmfinder.ml, I selected LIO-LGRP2-OVS-10.0.0.134, LIO-L29-CUST 10.0.0.6(C636), and LIO-L29-PRELOAD 10.0.0.1(C636R8), as those were the ones matching my phone.
I add the roms to HiSuite Proxy, start HiSuite 11.0.0.510, and it allows me to downgrade to my selected rom, 134.
So far so good. I wait the necessary 45 minutes, HiSuite tells me the update was complete, and every freaking time, I receive the Software install failed on my phone after about 4% of trying to verify the update.
I have tried using windows 7 and windows 10.
Am I the only one getting this message? Is my current version (11.0.0.215) not downgradable? Am I doing something wrong?
Is there any other way to try to downgrade?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!

same issue here. seems like once we are at 11.0.0.215 theres no coming back. Will sell this phone, cant live without native GMS as majority of my needed apps needs native GMS

Is that a fact? Is there no way back from 215?

Can anyone confirm that it is NOT possible to downgrade from firmware version 11.0.0.215?

yes you can no longer downgrade once youre in 215

Thank you Leejon10, but as a healthy skeptic, would you mind sharing your source or what you're basing your conclusion on?

I also tried so many time, but still failed . one of the youtuber msg me to do the process after update EMUI 12 beta . emui 12 also limited . so we have to wait for some tricks from developers. i'll also try downgrade via Sigmakey tool. will update here.

Thanks a bunch. Would love to see whether you managed to succeed with Sigmakey.

qualquer solução de downgrade 11.0.0.215? Fiz cerca de 15 tentativas com vários roms, e quando chega a 4% de verificação de atualização, dá um erro.

solution downgrade 11.0.0.215 ?
I made about 15 attempts with several roms and when it reaches 4% update check, the error.

today the update for 11.0.0.236 arrived, would it be good to update?

have you tried downgrading to an earlier EMUI 11 version like 11.0.0.151 for example?

That doesn't work either, I tried it. So what it seems is that from 11.0.0.215 onwards (mine has 11.0.0.230 now) you cannot downgrade EMUI on Mate 30 Pro, for any version whatsoever.
When it comes to P40 Pro though, it seems you can still do it, no matter what version of EMUI you have installed.
Question: Will hackers be able to get around this? Or is it that because Mate 30 Pro is a phone with more than 2 years, they won't even be working on it..
