Trying to get GMS to work on P40 Pro ELS-LGRP4

So, I have run into a few roadblocks on my quest to get GMS working on my brand new P40 Pro.
Roadblock #1:
Although I am able to download the firmware from pro-teammt as suggested, I am unable to extract the package on to my device. After a little bit of research, I believe Huawei blocks the extraction of "update.app". I could be wrong. But this is where im having issues.
I do not have a card reader so I am currently unable to try this way.
I have tried downloading a third party extractor, no beans.
Roadblock #2
Moving on to method 2. Using the HiSuite proxy to do it for me, I have all of the firmware information, The proxy starts great. HiSuite loads and installs the "HiSuite 10.0.0.510 OVE" on to my phone. Here's where the problems start.
The HiSuite it installs on my phone is incompatible with this device, I have researched and have come up empty on how to resolve this. Which means I am officially stuck.
Someone, please help me, I've been at this for hours now, it's hurting my soul.

Same Here, no way to downgrade my P40Pro ELS-LGRP4 (C185E2R6P3), tried all possible ways, maybe no support available for my device.. Already Hurt my soul..

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.

Stuck on 11.0.0.196 and can't downgrade

Hello,
I was hoping someone could help.
I have a P40 Pro (ELX-nX9) which was running GMS fine from May 2020 until last week when it got sent off for a new screen, complete rest.
I have since spent almost a week following all the guides to try and download the firmware so I can use Googlefier to get GMS.
nothing works, always "update failed". Tried using the HiSuite Proxy to roll back to even an earlier version of 11.0.0.x but same issue.
Anyone offer any help?
Cheers

I made a rollback on my friend's ELS-N29 (C432R6) hw-eu from .196 to .131 today.
Went smooth, just use up-to-date HiProxy and HiSuite with version ending on 550, not 510 as I seen in multiple guides in the internet.

Write the full version of HiSuite to avoid confusion, please.
You want to say 10.1.0.550. Because the current version is 11.0.0.550.
@pape100
Today it was a problem with https://www.firmfinder.ml/
Pay attention to your phone region (Cxxx). Don`t use other region files.
Have you tried this?

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?

eRecovery

Hi guys, I was trying to update my P40 pro to the latest software (C432).
Right now I am at Emui 12, 290 and there is a new 296 software (december security patch).
Last security patch I have recieved at 30. 11. 2022. (290) over My Huawei app but nothing this month so far.
So I have tried the eRecovery update but get the error "getting package info failed".
Does anyone know how to solve that problem? I don't care about the update, my fear is that if I ever encounter a software problem I wont be able to use eRecovery because for some strange reason it doesn't work.
P. S. Tried on 3 wifi networks, result always the same.
Anyone got any ideas?

Hi Badmania, thanks for the reply. I have tried all of the methods from your thread but no luck so far. And I am ok with that.
But like I wrote the eRecovery option doesn't work at all - it gives an error "get package info failed". My concern is that if I ever encounter a software problem with my phone I wont be able to use eRecovery to fix it.
The pic in the post is yours from your thread, in my situation after this check I get the error above.

Sometimes I have the same error. Sometimes the error is not present. You can try also to change the country on the MyHuawei App. and search for update. You can try Germany, Hong Kong, etc.
Regarding just to the erecovery, dont worry.

I have exactly the same issue i live in Greece with 12.0.0.290 (C432) .erecovery reports "get package info failed". HiSuite tells me i am on latest MyHuawei the same .I hope we will get it at some point. I am amazed it takes more than 25days to push an update. i changed country language vpn DNS all the same
