Can't update firmware after installing GSM

To install GSM I downgraded my P40 lite from Emui 10.0.1.236 all way down to Emui 10.0.1.108 using Firmware Finder, Hisuite proxy and Hisuite Itself.
Now after installing google, I want to update the phone to 10.0.1.236 again, but it says that the older version is the newest in the updates menu. I tried to reinstall Hisuite, tried to update with the Hisuite proxy and Firmware Finder and with builtin updater in the phone. But still... I can't update my system.
If someone knows some way to reactivate the updates on the phone please reply to this thread

Hi.
Was in the same situation. Tried multiple old firmwares with hisuite proxy, and they downloaded and worked just fine, but couldn't upgrade from them.
Finally found a suggestion on a German forum that worked.
Using the OTG software install method, download a firmware from easy-firmware(dot)com and install that. Be very careful what software you donwnload as you could brick your device.
This worked for me, installed version 144 for my P40 Pro Plus, got immediately a software update notification to 156. Delayed that, done the GMS install, restarted, updated to 156, and then, because I was in thebeta, updated to EMUI 11. All good.
Please be aware that the site is requiring money for the downloads, and that I am in no way affliated with them. It's your own decision what to do

Did you ever figure it out? My p40 lite is doing the same thing on 10.0.1.108 as well

OTG install a complete firmware. There is no other way.
Working perfectly ever since I wrote the previous post, upgraded from the Emui11 beta to the final without issues.

Will this remove the Googlefier install ?

Yeah, you have to completely reset and erase the phone, flash the oldest firmware you can find through OTG, then after booting stop the automatic updates from settings.
Then apply Googlefier and after everything is working fine, only then update.
I had a hard time finding the firmware files for OTG, maybe you're luckier.

So basically, I have 10.0.1.108 installed currently with Googlefier installed.. I'm not able to update the emui via hisuite/proxy, fails the install. So then I need to do OTG install of a fullota emui and then reinstall Googlefier? I guess anything newer than .108 should be ok?

Yes, but be careful, try picking an older software, or you won't be able to use Googlefier. It fails with the latest updates, so your best bet is install it on an older one and then update.
A reinstall of your version 108 or something a bit newer should work.

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.

P40 Pro ELS-N29 C432 update problem

Hi guys and girls.
I downgraded to 10.1.0.131 to install GMS, then upgraded to 10.1.0.176 (C432E7R4P1) and I can't upgrade further. "Your software is up to date". I lost PC connectivity, so HiSuite and HiSuite Proxy isn't an option for me. eRecovery also doesn't work - "Get package info failed".
Firmware finder app also not helping, "Most likely the firmware was removed from the server".
Please help me to get it to EMUI 11 to get back fast charging and PC connectivity. At this point I stopped caring for GMS, I'll just use the phone as is for a few months and then get something with Google Certification.
I've got a 256GB USB and a OTG USB-A to USB-C cable.
I found this page, but I'm not sure if I can use P40 Pro+ FW on my P40 Pro: http://huawei-firmware.com/?q=els-&load_page=search&page=1

I had the same problem, a nano memory card helped me.

I bought a Google Pixel 6 Pro... Do you know how to make a bootable USB for EMUI upgrade?

You need to try using the Support app (now called MyHuawei) , go to support options and tap on the "Software update" button from there. It will perform a no-cached force recheck option and launch the software updater for you. Try it five to ten times.
If it still says it is the latest version then you need to wait a few days. It is well-known that after a downgrade, the latest version is not offered to prevent accidentally upgrading back to something you came off from. But it will eventually be offered again, there is just a grace period.
In the event it is not offered after a few days, and as you do not currently have USB, then you need to obtain a NanoMemory card and use dload method to load a sufficient EMUI 11 firmware (EMUI 11.0.0.151 as that is the EMUI10->11 upgrader fw).

These will not work in your current condition. You need a NanoMemory card OR a Type-C to Type-C USB cable. There are reports of successful USB connections with Type-C to Type-C cables.

NO! DO NOT DO THAT! Erase this thought immediately. P40 Pro+ differs in hardware, and has a separate identifier. Do not ever try to load Pro+ firmware on your Pro, because you will either brick it immediately or lose a portion of your camera functions, including the zoom camera, and eRecovery won't be able to help you.

You don't need it to be bootable.
All you need is a FAT32 filesystem, an USB OTG cable, a USB flashdrive, create a folder called "dload" and put update.app into there, and launch recovery update mode.

That's why I asked about the Plus software. I just tried with C-C cable that I got with the Pixel 6 Pro I bought today, only charging.
I also tried My Huawei, it just brings me to the default update page in the settings and says that I'm up to date.

Is there any solution to help me? I have got P40 Pro and I wanted to flash GMS and of course i had to do downgrade. By big mistake I flashed ROM from P40 Pro+ (ELS-LGRP6-OVS 10.1.0.136). At this moment my phone is turning on, but rebooting after 30-40 seconds. WiFi is working, but i havent IMEI in settings (empty place)...
Did I broke my phone?

Wear OS on Huawei P40 Pro?

Hey guys,
I'm using my Huawei P40 Pro for a while, now. Everything worked fine, I basically never needed GMS / Google or I could find good workarounds. Now, I've bought a Suunto 7 Smartwatch; their customer support told me it should be fine and working. But the "official" Wear OS app tells me my phone is not supported and I need to get a Chinese version. After installing said Chinese version, I can connect my phone to the watch, but right after connecting (when retrieving data from the phone), Wear OS (Chinese) tells me to install the "official" version from Google Play Store when being outside of China (which I obviously am; in Austria).
So, I've also tried to do a rollback / downgrade of EMUI (currently installed EMUI 12), but the "official" downgrade via HiSuite does not work, the option does not exist. I was hoping to use the Googlefier method, down on EMUI 10.
I've tried Gspace and microG, but nothing works.
Can you help me out?
I basically just need Wear OS working with my watch.
Thank you very much!

P40 pro downgrade - different device

Hi, just got my P40 pro and decided to install GMS. I've read a couple of guides and started...
Downgraded to EMUI 10 and lost USB connection. My device name changed from ELS-N29 to ELS-NX9. Did OTA updates up to EMUI 12 but still got NX9 as device name. Tried downgrading again via Hisuite and got error message Update Failed.
Shame that none of the widely available guides addressed any of the problems I have encountered, had to specifically look for them to see all the warnings related. I've noticed there are other ways to install GMS but downgrading still seems like the easiest option. Why ELS-NX9 though, and why Hisuite won't proceed?
First time downgraded directly to 10.1.0.154. Used correct files (C432, ELS-N29, R5). Now I am trying to follow THIS guide, but got error message from Hisuite.
What am I doing wrong? How to become ELS-N29 again (if it changes anything) and how can I install GMS and go back to EMUI12 the most hassle-free way? Got quite a bit of experience with flashing, using recoveries etc, so I thought it's gonna be sweet-as-pie job....

You used old tutorials. I think you can find many things on my thread here.

I'll try downgrading to EMUI 11 using Hisuite without Proxy then. I've seen your thread about fixing USB connection etc, but other people said over there that their device became N29 again after some OTA updates. Mine didn't.
I also wonder why my device originally was N29, but ny box says it's an NX9...
If I manage to downgrade to 11 through vanilla Hisuite, will I be able to follow the video I've linked above? It seems pretty straightforward, and If I only seen it before OTA upgrading...
Does my device being NX9 actually make any problems? Or it was just wrong Hisuite/random error then?
Edit: okay, I rhink I see now. So right now I should downgrade to the lowest thing Hisuite will let me, then Hisuite proxy to lowest 11 version, then I should be able to continue as per video. Correct?
EDIT: Okay, not correct, I won't be able to downgrade from 11.0.0.260 any further without OTG according to your guides. Don't have one at the moment.
I've also found this thread. Could I simply stay on EMUI12/HarmonyOS (whichever I have if there's any difference) and install GMS this way? If yes, I'd like t repeat previous question - does my device being ELS-NX9 now instead of originally ELS-N29 affect anything at all? Regards and cheers
Yet another edit: how is it possible that I downgraded from EMUI12 to 10.1.0.154 directly in the first place? Used newest Hisuite with Proxy. According to all guides, including yours, this should not be possible?
