Which GMS workaround is still working without hiccups? - Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers

Thinking whether to buy a used P40 Pro which is going cheap right now, but looking at all the guides/threads, it seems there are still many hoops to jump around and Google keeps blocking these loopholes.
Is this accurate? Any sure-fire way for GMS to work on P40 Pro before I purchase them?
Thanks!

There is working method but the main thing is to be at the right FW version at the start to let install the GMS.
Once done you can easily update your phone without issues.
The problems you read here and there are mainly caused by users who don't want to downgrade to the right FW version.
Or by users not knowing (or not reading) the how to downgrade.
From my side it is running perfectly (banks apps and all others) since the beginning.
It is a must buy if the prices are going down ?

Does this mean we will always be stuck on the old firmware and won't be able to receive the latest security patches? Sounds worrying to me, and not sure whether that's worth the upgrade from my P30 Pro.. ?

You will receive new updates and security patches. You just have to follow the instructions exactly.

May I check whether this guide is the latest and can be installed along with microG?

Hi guys, I got stuck at this screen when trying to downgrade my firmware. Have already disabled all firewall and windows security. Why is it still showing no internet connection??
Also I noticed I'm unable to paste the full URL in the Proxy. Is this normal?

try again with older HiSuite Version: 10.0.0.510: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y5d70lvntv5z9jk/HiSuite_10.0.0.510_OVE.zip?dl=1

İt has to be a great deal for you to go through all that hassle. Otherwise not worth it

Just format it and the phone will boot. This is part of the process.

Have gms working perfectly on my p40 pro

My issue now is being stuck on firmware 131. OTA doesn't detect new updates and HiSuite shows no Internet connection even though there's no proxy and my Internet is working well.

Risk free??
Is there a risk of adding malware using any of the methods described for adding Google services?

downgraded to 131 to install GMS first, then upgraded to 142 and 172 via OTA thereafter. now on 172.
When switching off WiFi to go to Mobile Data mode, the phone does NOT get any data unless I toggle between
LTE/WDCMA/GSM
and
WDCMA/GSM
MANUALLY.
I have to do this EVERY TIME I go from WiFi to Mobile Data mode. Any way to overcome this issue?

VS987 with internation SIM Questions

Hi There,
I have a Verizon G5 and I'm using it overseas. There are 2 issues I would like to ask:
1) Phone does not update itself via OTA or PC with regular ways. Current version is VS98710B. How can I update it? (I don't have Verizon service)
2) I see that most recent update (VS98714A) brings an issue that; when the phone is reset, it can only be used again with entering the gmail account/password associated with that phone. What if I give/sell the phone to someone else? How can a different person use it again?

I tried LGUP but it does not recognize my phone. I think I need find a way to make it see the phone.
i cant say much about update, i had that issue as well.
and about google lock, if you reset your phone from settings menu and give it to someone its fine, but if you reset it from android recovery (before phone starts up) than you have to activate it using previous google account. its same as apple does it

Please help! FRP bypass Huawei P30.

I am editing this post as I have become more educated in the last three months since I made the original.
I bought a broken phone. It had a bad battery and could not switch on in order for the phone to be reset. Neither could the seller provide me with any account info in order to remove the account before or after the reset was done I bought the phone from a repair shop as it was abandoned by the first owner as it was deemed uneconomical by them to repair.
I have replaced the screen and the battery with OEM items and have been trying for 2 months to get the phone unlocked.
Details that may be important
P30 ELE-L09
EMUI 10.1
What I have tried:
Every tutorial on YouTube related to P30 FRP lock and EMUI 10, and even some for other related Huawei devices like P20 and P30 lite.
I have tried eRecovery methods of update and restore, USBOTG method to update and both downgrade firmware. Everything fails. The recovery has buttons for emergency backup, but if I select this it reboots the phone back to the OOB setup. Also if I try to reboot to Safe mode, it does the same thing just in Safe mode.
HiSuite Proxy. @IProfessor This is still where I have issues as I feel that this is the most likely to succeed. Sadly every time the firmware reaches the point it will begin to install, it stalls and fails. I have logged it and will post them up here.
I believe the FRP lock is blocking me from resetting this device somehow, I just cannot figure out how and how to circumvent it. I am am being patient and I have time, the phone is not for daily use, yet.
Deleted.

Anybody with a solution that doesn't involve paying for it?
I'm looking for an answer too..
I took the phone to my local cellphone repair guy.
He had a guy that flashed the firmware directly to motherboard. The only downside is these guys sometimes use the wrong region firmware, as is my case.
Total spend was R350 ZAR.
P.S. are you not also on the vwclubsa forum?

Did you install it?
Make a copy via ApkExport
Scan with online Virustotal. Decide.
If you uninstall it and that doesn't work, factory reset.
i don't know if i installed it. till i know as installation was done on the date i mentioned, at that time pendamic was active. i was not working anymore on that time so as i know about that time i din't installed it but just a hours ago i notice this app in my installed app note as system apps.

It looks like a rooting app.
I'm not familiar with that device manufacturer or app. However it looks like a high risk apk to me especially if you're not rooted and can't recall downloading it. It's probably capable of causing a lot of damage.
If running on Android 9 or higher, a factory reset should purge any root kits if present. If you do a factory reset, set a new Google account password (make sure you write it down correctly) after the factory reset. Change any other critical passwords.

Do a scan with Malwarebytes afterwards.
Keep an eye on your download folder and make sure install unknown sources is always disabled unless you need to use it to sideload.
Be careful what you install...

You have a Pro not a Duel. You will need this first, extract it and place all the files within it to /ProgramData/RSA/Download/romfiles/L79031(delete whats currently in this folder first, then move all the files you downloaded into this folder). Now run RSA and and flash the correct firmware for your Legion Pro. Upon boot, make sure to run System Update to the latest firmware available (you will have to do this two or three times).

I think I'm in the same situation- And your link doesn't work. What is 'this'? Can't find any info on it!!!
@xXHotBoxXx420 ,
Pretty sure that link was removed. Here is where you'll find the firmware for your device. Just follow the instructions you quoted by @&(*) after gathering your models firmware.

Hey thank you, but I actually found a CN ZUI 13.5 ROM that I've never found before and flashed it, and it worked. I have Android 12 now, but my cellular still isn't working, and I want a ROM with Google apps by default- one more like the stock android. I assume that's the global version. Trying to go about unlocking my bootloader and flashing the Legion Duels ROM on my Legion pro, I've heard there is a way. Just need to find a good tutorial.
@xXHotBoxXx420 ,
Here is a guide that will work on this device, make sure you read it carefully and backup what it states. I suggest you read this other guide first so you can recover from any mistakes.

Helpful, but I'm wondering if I can do it the other way around; CN to Global rather than Global to CN. I'm sure it probably works the same way, backup partitions and all that. I just figured you had to unlock the bootloader to be able to flash other ROMs but I have flashed the ROW & EE ROMs and ended up with crashdump/bootloop. Didn't realize flashing partitions could fix that. I think I'll give it a try. Thanks

Bricked P40 Pro (C636)? - Please help!

Re-posting into a new thread, my apologies if this is not the right practice. Since the threads are mostly for C432s.
HI there!
I have scoured the entire internet and also the XDA forums with no success finding a solution to my issue.. well, bricked P40 Pro and have the same "Your device has loaded a different operating system". Hence writing in this tread to seek any assistance. I have just bought a Huawei P40 Pro ELS-NX9 (N29) and followed several of the treads to download the EMUI to install GMS...
Original EMUI: 11.0.0.249 (C636E3R4P3)
1st Downgrade to 11.0.0.230: Successful
Hisuite Proxy ELS-N29 10.1.0.134 (C636E8R5P1), ELS-N29-PRELOAD 10.1.0.1(C636R4), ELS-N29-CUST 10.1.0.7(C636)
Bricked at this stage 10.1.0.134 (C636E8R5P1)
ERecovery version is 10.1.0.158 (C636E8R5P1) - Can download But fails to install ("Software install failed!")
I cannot
a. Boot to OS
b. Connect to HiSuite nor Hisuite Proxy
c. DLoad the one version of C636 that i could find - 10.1.0.114 (Not even sure if it is firmware issue or if it is OTG/MemoryStick connection failure)
I can
d. reboot to recovery
e. reboot to fastfoot
f. run ADB and Fastboot from my PC to the phone (that is how I got the info of bricked firmware ELS-N29 10.1.0.134 (C636E8R5P1)
I am not sure what I did wrong as I stuck to the region (C636). I cannot find more C636 region DLoad firmware as well to try more of them. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated as I have no access to physical service centers for the next couple of weeks.
Thanks in advance and Cheers!
1. What region was 11.0.0.230?
2. You selected a wrong cust. It should be 10.1.0.8 (C636)
3. Maybe it was other device/firmware errors.

I see.. How should I go about recovering and unbrick my phone? At this stage, I am happy to just get it working and go about it without having GMS.. or go towards the custom ROM path..
Cheers!

Hi Renz! Thanks for the video link.. Sorry for the tardiness in getting back to this as I have been swarmed with work... my issue I think is not bootloop but won't boot into OS.. Will DM you
Hey, thanks for that video!
I have the same problem. My mobile worked for around a year, GMS worked everything worked. Accidentaly I clicked on the wrong buttom and installed the Google Play Services again :/ After that GMS was gone but I was able to use the phone without Google for a while. After half a year my mobile fell down and I was not able to start it again. Now I'm working on getting my data back (Contacts + Pictures). Seems to me that I used the wrong CUST in an installation before.

I have 2 problems left:
1) HiSuite Proxy is not working pretty well. It never adds the ROM from the browser.
When you use the Brave Browser the Add Rom ist not working, Firefox works. BUT somehow it copies the wrong link to the package. For instance I want to upgrade to ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.176 then I will get the following link:
http://update.dbankcdn.com/download...b600e004a6faf64b7d6992a71fc/full/filelist.xml
But in HiSuite Proxy I'm just able to finde the following link: http://update.dbankcdn.com/download...900_9/6b/v3/94031b600e004a6faf64b7d6992a71fc/
It dows not let me insert "full/filelist.xml" even when I want to type it in, even when the first link (without "full/filelist.xml") is giving me an error when I copy it into the browser... :/
It seems to me that this is the problem I'm always getting the the failure: "There is no package for you model of cellphone" (in german )
Ok seems like a restart of HiSuite Proxy solved that for me.
But there is still one problem: HiSuite is crashing, when it should install the new packages. Any idea how this could be solved?
2) What Versions shall I install? I'm not pretty sure what was my original version of the OS before I downgraded it. I assume it was the following, because I wrote it down in my Google Keep ELS-LGRP4-OVS 11.0.0.202
Thanks for your help in advance! Really appreciate it
