HiSuite won't downgrade - Huawei Mate XS Questions & Answers

Hi,
I am trying to add GMS to my Huawei Mate XS. However, when I try to downgrade back to EMUI 10, there is no option to downgrade. It simply gives me a message that I am on the highest available firmware.
What am I doing wrong?
Is it still possible to add GMS as of October 20, 2021? Am I doing the correct method?

Install Google apps on Huawei Mate XS
I purchased the Huawei Mate XS back in August 2020 thinking it would be easy to install GAPPS but after trying for so long back then I gave up until giving it another go last week and I can now say this is the best phone I've owned so far...

[Discussion] Rollback package for various models

Hi Folks,
Seeing around various section of all the models when users are struggling to restore their phone either due the flashing an incorrect firmware or after updating via Firmware Finder app and then wanting to rollback to earlier version of EMUI. They sometime cannot even flash the custom ROMs due to FRP lock or unable to flash the custom recovery and even after trying all the known methods, we struggle to restore their phone as they messed up badly with their phone and model or version change to something unexpected.
In this thread, lets discuss and share about rollback files available for various models (be it MM, Lollipop anything) so that new users could use it to restore to their original version and then update to official versions.

Asking for this file?
I haven't seen this on forum and i couldn't get it from Huawei directly. They said it has been given to Service centre WTF (sorry for my words guys). They want us to visit SC for this (after spending on travel as well)

Hi Guys
How to get Stock Firmware Package for Huawei Nova 2i RNE-L22C675 ?? Can't find it any where. I need the Stock Firmware Package for Huawei Nova 2i RNE-L22C675 with EMUI 5.0??
I'm beginning to regret getting this phone cause there is literally no firmware support, neither from Huawei nor developers. Which is surprising cause it is came out the ending of last 2017. It's a real shame.
Anyways, if any of you guys have legit unbricking solution for this phone model would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

today indian version got 8.1 update. cant we get that ROM?
ive tried using vpn for china and mine still says system up to date ,mine is on 7.1.1 nov 6th security patch,i think its cos our phone has unofficial playstore app that it wont update. there is a mena firmware update which it says is for our variant on nokia 6 forum but nobody has said if it definitely for second gen ta-1054 ,if it is you could flash it and install all updates manually ,but im waiting untill someone lets me know if its legit has i dont want to brick my new phone
There was one rom in the nokia-6 MENA method, but I could not get it on my phone tho, also no reply on the topic for solution.
I sent back the chinese one, and ordered a global version from amazon.
But after a while there should be systems dumps, or updates to flash.
Anyone else tried flashing mena 2nd gen firmware from Nokia 6 link ?

Can you send me the link to that ROM? Thanks.
it wont work bud you cant unlock the bootloader ive been trying for weeks
I tried the PL2-064D-0-00CN-B05.nb0, from this link:

To obtain tools look here:

But try at your own risk
Mine survived tho, but no luck ob upgrading.

Did you try it, or?
I've tried it numerous times always fails log says cannot flash locked device
Any progress?
Ive tried installing the latest play store APK as well as China VPN and India/Netherlands as they have started to receive their 8.1 updates (apparently) but nothing.
Im stuck on 7.1.1 and the Nov 2017 security update.
Also, has anyone else tried USB/WiFi/BT tethering...none of these are working (AUS on Telstra). Has anyone else tried?
It worked fine on Oppo phone so its not the carrier and I have checked the APN info.
Another Q..
If the phone is unlocked, would you be able to flash the RoW firmware thats currently being rolled out or are you limited to the (not currently available) TA-1054 only?
Nokia Model: TA-1054 is this version china or global
got a TA-1054 here today in China. Updated 6 times all the way to 8.1.0 without issue.
once bootloader unlocking is available you can flash global firmware just be patient bud
@safron35. Yep..but my reason for wanting the update is so i get tethering. Currently at 7.11 all the tethering (wifi, USB and BT) on my phone is broken. I've had to resort back to using my Oppo until I can get it working as I need this functionality for my work.
@pola..Thanks for the heads up..I'll try connecting my VPN to a Chinese server again and see how it goes.
Anyone know what they use as a check/verification for location?
The ta-1054 is Chinese custom ROM if its on 7.1.1 Nov patch and will not update until you unlock bootloader and flash original firmware ,no matter what you try
Ah..got it. Thx for the info.
Another Q if that's ok? ....if it's had a custom F/W flashed this would mean it's already had its bootloader unlocked yes?

GAPP and EMUI 9

Hi
I want to buy a chinese Mate 20 X but i read on alyexpress this :
"Because the Google company prohibit the user installing GMS by themselves,for chinese firmware, after upgrading to EMUI9.0 (Android 9.0), the Google Play services will stop working,we suggest you don`t update the new firmware to EMUI 9.0 (Andoird 9.0)..or choose Global Firmware,Global firmware no problem."
Does it mean i can t have Gapp with android 9 on chinese version ?
Can i change firmware to global version ? if i can i need to unlock bootloader i presume ?
Thx

Rubbish
Google is working on China and global version.
China version stick with China region on setup in appgallery, then search for Google play, it'll show up, then update it. For some annoying reason it's installed but hidden it china mate 20 X version
Maybe OK Google won't work properly on China version. That's about it really
so why they write this thing ??? if we can udpate to android 9 and playstore works fine ?
Im using chinese mate 20 X phone. Every Huawei phones has gms by default. There is no need to install anything. Just login in your Google account from settings thats it

Buddy, mate 20x default comes with Android 9.0 (Pie); EMUI 9 buy Chinese ROM if you have the patience to do a lot of modifications etc..
else, please buy the international variant and use it as out of the box.

Mate 20X isn't Honor 8x!! I have the China version 20x (EVR-AL00) and as stated earlier it comes with EMUI 9.0.0 pre-installed and had to install playstore via Huawei's app store then install thw Google apps I wanted. And everything worked. That was before I unlocked the bootloader (jumped on getting a code early and before code db got closed) and have been running globalized custom rom ever since. Now Ressurrection Remix rom just released this morning for 20x and will give this amazing phone the AOSP support it deserves.

Someone said that the GMS has been installed in expensive phone of Huawai, such like mate20,p20.... . But not for the cheap phone - honor 8x. So Mate 20x can install google play directly.
My honor 8x /emui 8.2 can install google play after I installed the GMS . But I can't find the GMS installer for emui 9.0.

The official ROM, and working TWRP Recovery.
If you would do exactly the same as mentioned in the post , probably you will get Android Q along with TWRP installed.
Thanks to me later.

C636E5R2P3 version stuck at 10.0.0.196 (EMUI 10.0.0) Security Patch June 2020

I can't get my Mate 20X to upgrade to EMUI 11 - I tried downloading:
Build: EVR-LGRP2-OVS 11.0.0.155 - update with full base
from this site: http://huawei-update.com/device-list/evr-l29
I tried all three variants of this build since they weren't labelled for which variant of the phone (mine's the C636 variant). When I tried to apply the update via the memory card all three times I got "No file found" even though UPDATE.APP file was in the root of the memory card where it should be.
I also installed a VPN, set region to UK in the Huawei Support app and in the VPN software and then tried the update OTA and nothing. Set region to China for both and still nothing.
Of course, the reason I'm doing this is to get EMUI 11 with the July 2021 security patches. My build is over a year out of date. I'd even consider going from EMUI 11 to Harmony OS but again I can't get off the July 2020 build currently installed.
I've tried going with other, newer Android phones, many of them the very best available. I've gone through:
- Samsung Galaxy Note 20
- Samsung Galaxy Ultra S21
- Oppo Find X3 Pro
- Xiaomi Black Shark 3 Pro
- Lenovo Legend
- LG V60 dual-screen
Despite liking some of these NONE of them give you the screen real estate that the Mate 20X does so I wind up dusting it off, updating all the apps and using it once again!
Can someone please help me figure out how to update the software on this beast??
Thanks, in advance for any and all comments!!
I am stuck with the issue. I am trying Ministry of Solutions, guy to help me out. He changed my Chinese one to global one.

Black Shark 3 does have the same screen real estate, with higher resolution and the 90 Hertz refresh rate, but it's SO HEAVY.
EMUI 11:
I also have the mate 20x and I've tried everything to update this. I changed the regions and I used the VPN and I tried rolling back to Android 9 via hi suite..... nothing. Someone recommended I spend 15 bucks on a Chinese SIM card from Amazon and that's exactly what I intend to do tomorrow.
Please let me know if you're able to update your phone! I just replaced the battery with a brand new one and spent way too much money on the Huawei branded storage media... I tried a bunch of different phones but I really want to keep this one!
I find it amazing but even phones with side-mounted fingerprint readers don't allow you to do the swipe option for notifications the way Huawei lets you do it. I like my infrared blaster, too. Sigh.
