Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on recent Huawei phones (Sorry EMUI 8.1 phones not yet supported. Coming soon), to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!

Music crisis on p20 pro
Hi
I am trying to transfer music from windows media player on my computer via usb to my p20 pro.
The music transfers to my music app but will not play on my p20 pro with the message “failed to play the file”
Help!
I have a german P20 EML- L09 -
Do i need do a rebrand to another firmware to have Dual sim? Which firmware I need?
How many credits i need ? (or can i do it for free)
I have an English P20 EML-L09,
Is it supported for enabling dual sim fuctionality?
It works!!!! P20 rebrand and mono2dual modified. European FW *.132a ....
Yeah the conversion to dual sim works but you lose the volume in your speakers. Nobody tells you that.
So I am now left with a phone that I can only use with headphones for media playback.
So happy now /s
Also, can't do anything about it because now my bootloader unlock code no longer works, and the generator on the Huawei page gives me the same old code.
Team FunkyHuawei, any help?
You're right. Not silenced at all, but the sound starts normaly loud, then goes to very low. Ringer too. But funky Hawaii tells me that they never heard about that issue ???. All should know. Almost for european c432 release

Back to mono sim? (With funkyhawuei method)?
Yeah.
No can do, you need unlocked bootloader. If yours is still unlocked, good for you, try it, it might help. Otherwise...
Last effing time I buy Huawei. Can't even sell it now. The amount of frustration is just not worth it. Not to mention the amount of frustration just to get the latest OTA updates, just having to rebrand or stay with old software for half a year.
No answer from Funkyhawei people. . No advise on their site about this issue!!! frustrating.
Hallo hallo guys
I found something good here https://www.theandroidsoul.com/huawei-honor-android-9-pie-update/ which states (I's not clear if this is official info) but it's attached the image
I actually think Huawei might not do this and ship instead the Pie on the same date as the Huawei p20 and p20 pro, because this is not a common 200, 300 euro phone, it's a 400 mid range phone which to be honest it's a high price for a "medium" range phone. Won't even talk about Sony .
Cheers,
Alex
UPDATE: Recent news of November 28 on a chinese source of Huawei tell us that we will be the next phase to test out EMUI 9 Beta after the models which have access to it since Yesterday. Attached image and link to sources.
https://www.weibo.com/3514064555/H4NemxW8q?type=comment#_rnd1544010777367
https://www.ixbt.com/news/2018/11/29/emui-9-0-android-9-0-pie-honor-8x-huawei-nova-3i-huawei-maimang-7.html
UPDATE(As of 10 of December): According to yesterday Weibo(Chinese Twitter) Huawei account we may have finally a date for the EMUI 9 Beta release, according to their image which I could only translate properly with Cambridge online dictionary, after the words "nova 3e" which is our model it says something like "Internal test recruitment expected to be launched in January" which makes sense since there's only number 1 in there , that's the best translation I could've find.
Links:
https://weibo.com/3514064555/H6C78nkYz
http://www.cnsoftnews.com/news/201812/77093.html - This one needs a complete page translation but you can do it using chrome automatically.
Attached image.
UPDATE (as of 7 of January): Great day to be alive guys My sources are always good, as it seems they have opened internal BETA recruitment of EMUI 9 on China for our model Nova 3e(P20 Lite) and also for Huawei Enjoy 9 Plus (yes, it is called like this...XD), just as I predicted to this month and just like they said on the same source Weibo, link: https://www.weibo.com/3514064555/HaSgozmA2?type=comment#_rnd1546873618942
Poster is attached, because an image is always better
For now though it is only open on China, but as soon as it gets to europe it should be quite quick
UPDATE(As of 8 of January): A new blog post reveals the information and confirmation of the Chinese EMUI 9 Beta release:
https://www.theandroidsoul.com/huawei-invites-beta-testers-for-android-pie-for-nova-3e-and-huawei-y9-2019/
Includes the limit of 2000 participants per country and model for the testing.
UPDATE(As of 21 of January): EMUI 9 Beta is now downloadable in China for who applied for it and new expected stable release dates are available on this source which match my expectations: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/huawei-nova-3e-update/
I expect the stable version to hit China on the mid/end of February even though the source says it expects it in March.
The stable version global rollout would probably be from March to April as it says.
UPDATE(As of 24 of January): Found out a new news link from Italy which does confirm that within two weeks their Single SIM version of Italy from the TIM carrier will receive the update POGGERS
Source: http://www.optimaitalia.com/blog/2019/01/17/brucia-tutti-huawei-p20-lite-tim-nel-ricevere-emui-9-tweet-ufficiale-ma-servono-precisazioni/1342206
It's in italian so either use Google Chrome browser for automatic translation or use google for that
But on the tweet from the TIM carrier they say literally "Hello Mark, within two weeks you will receive the update. See you soon"
The news link is from January 17, so depending on the carriers of the countries of europe some will receive sooner and others will receive later this month Be patient guys, the force is within us
UPDATE(As of 30 of January): A news post of Japan reveals oficial information on the update of the stable version of EMUI 9 for the SIM-Free version of the japanese model of Huawei P20 Lite and others.
Source: https://k-tai.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1167193.html
If you translate the website via Google Chrome and analyse the image that I attached from the news post you can clearly see it will be delivered in May in Japan.
Image attached.
UPDATE(As of February 4/12):Android pie BETA released in China!!!!! Please find it on the firmware finder website or app of the chinese models like ANE-AL00. Picture Attached for proof.
Sources:

That is true indeed :/
Now that Huawei confirmed at IFA 2018 Event that only the P20 Pro, P20, Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, Honor 10, Honor View 10, and Honor Play will get the first access to BETA EMUI 9, which by the way it has launched on europe already, but for only 100 people for each country XD ... So no official information on Huawei P20 Lite or other devices, there is some websites that rumor the P20 Lite to eventually get a BETA around October but idk, it's so unpredictable with these companies...
Here's the official font:
https://www.weibo.com/3514064555/Gxofe8g3G?type=comment#_rnd1535964854883 - It couldn't open it on chrome so try another browser like Firefox and Brave did for me, I also suggest translating cause it's chinese XD
And here is the other font, there is more but I'm a bit busy

Somethings wrong with android world.
For a march 2018 released device , are we talking about whether if it will receive android pie or not?
What ? Software update for a 6 month old phone is a luxury service?
A september 2014 released iphone 6 oldie still recieves ios 12 and probably ios 13 and 14...
because all devices have the same hardware? no but they are aware of their hardware mostly.
and even p20 lite gets android pie luckily it will not get android q.. r... s.... t...
This problem does not only apply to huawei , most of the android devices are having this problem.
Huawei is updating it's flagship! models! but it says on each month security update we update your p20 lite as a flagship device with updates!
What kind of hardware are we paying for in a year the phone becomes old and does not support new version?!
Even Android flagship devices barely receives +2 official versions nowadays ... No surprises here.

That was always a problem with android itself... Do not compare it to IOS though, they are so different. Android is running on a emulation of Linux, that's why it needs double or more RAM than Iphones to be smoother and quicker... It will never be as fast as IOS that's the problem, also it will never be as simple as doing new versions of IOS.
Also we all know that Apple always supported their devices better than any other company.
In my opinion Google should've started a new OS a long time ago, LOL.
Each year I see almost no improvements on the performance on the OS. This is like comparing Windows with Linux, like sure Windows has all apps, bla bla bla, but it will never be as speedy as pure Linux.
If most of Smartphones ran an OS like Symbian or Sailfish or Mee go they would run like, so so fast, faster than Apple's IOS for sure. But nothing happened because Android became popular af and those systems became less updated and the companies went down... I atually loved Mee go OS on the Nokia N9 .
I loved this phone

Technically companies are obligated to support phones with at least 2 major upgrades (2 years).
Hallo hallo all

13:27:27 - Cristiano says : Good morning Alexandre.
13:29:48 - Alexandre Santos says : Just a question, about the beta of EMUI 9, will the Huawei p20 lite soon have a beta?
13:32:37 - Cristiano says : Maybe the beta version will be available during the next weeks, altough, in the moment we do not have official information on this. I suggest to keep your eyes on our Facebook page (Huawei Mobile), in a way of getting information in first hand about this subject.
13:33:19 - Alexandre Santos says : OK, perfect Cristiano, thanks for your help and information
13:33:35 - Cristiano says : No, I thank you, Alexandre
It's all I got about this, I also asked before this about the date of release of EMUI 9, altough the only info I got was that it might get release till the end of the year on our device or a bit later than Huawei P20 and P20 Pro :/

What's the turbo update? I have ANE-LX1 8.0.0.144(C185)
Honestly my old LG K10 2017 got 8.1 update via OTA few days ago and I'm a bit jealous..
Wondering when we gonna get something to play with on ours P20's.
Runnin atm: ANE-LX1 8.0.0.156(C432)
Update: 9.0 is coming
Hi guys, I have the Mi A2 Lite from the end of December last year and the phone is blocked at the update of December 5, 2018, I contacted Xiaomi assistance 3 times from February to today because their answers were always "we withdrew the update for problems "or similar, in the end I discovered through IMEI1 and IMEI2 that my phone was initially intended for the papua new guinea, and according to Xiaomi I can't update the phone in any way. At this point the question is obvious to me "so if one makes a trip abroad and buys a Xiaomi when he returns home he remains screwed ?!"
Do you know how I can update my phone? I tried expressvpn but it didn't work.
Thank you in advance for your help guys, I hope that anyone of you have the solution. I bought this phone for my father too, it's his first smartphone and I wouldn't want to feel guilty about making a wrong purchase.

Hi guys, I have the Mi A2 Lite from the end of December last year and the phone is blocked at the update of December 5, 2018, I contacted Xiaomi assistance 3 times from February to today because their answers were always "we withdrew the update for problems "or similar, in the end I discovered through IMEI1 and IMEI2 that my phone was initially intended for the papua new guinea, and according to Xiaomi I can't update the phone in any way. At this point the question is obvious to me "so if one makes a trip abroad and buys a Xiaomi when he returns home he remains screwed ?!"

Hello DominikMorelli,
Good Day !
1st You Need To Unlock The Boot-Loader (Off-Course Unlocking Boot-Loader Will Void Warranty) Then Download Latest Stock From MIUI Forum And Flash It With The Help Of IMFlash Tool.
Greetings !
Thanks,

AFAIK unlocking the bootloader doesn't void warranty on AndroidOne devices, of course after you relock the bootloader. Because there is no way of knowing that it has been unlocked/flashed etc.

Yes You Are Absolutely Right. Bootloader Should Be Locked After Flashing The ROM Or In Flashing Time.
thank you guys
One last question, with this operation I will lose the data on the phone? if so I make a backup.

Yes DominikMorelli, You Will Lose The Data As Unlocking Bootloader Does Erase The Data.

Dear VIVO engineers ,
as you know many of us got Chinese variant of VIVO NEX 3, because we think generally is the best variant cause a lot of reasons.
Now we have problems to use device in normal life because :
1) Google Pay is not licensed so we can't add cards to pay in stores
2) FM Radio is disabled ( meanwhile you have enabled and supported on Malaysian variant of device )
3) Bootloader is heavy closed. We can't root device and we can't fix by ourself Google Pay problem
Please VIVO,
follow your customer suggestions .

Please unlock the bootloader for vivo z1 pro
Nice you sent it to Vivo. Hopefully they will pay attention. At least the bootloader unlocking.
We should all send it.
It is usless they will never add this feature . It is not made for global use ... it is for China market.
For anyone who has a Fitbit -> FitbitPay works. I use it as a workaround for now.
Did this work with the original Vivo Nex?
Maybe magisk can be installed somehow? Fitbit is for smartwatch so another hardware.
I wrote an email to VIVO according firmware flash from 1924A to 1924F.(global).
I can root in my device in vivo y15

Have they answered yet? Is it possible to flash global rom to a Nex 3 that has Chinese rom?
Saya ingin membuka bootloader please
Vivo answered to my email. We cannot flash global rom to Chinese rom phone.
Dear vivo user,
Thanks so much for your email and we are sorry for the delay. In order to satisfy the needs of our users from different regions, some of our phones have two versions( Chinese version and Global version). The Chinese version is designed for Chinese Mainland users and has made some changes to meet the Chinese market, which differs much from the global version. Currently, the phones with the Chinese version cannot install the Global version. Your understanding will be highly appreciated.

Hello ,
I just tried to update my new phone to a version above 12.0.8 (android 10) but no succes.
Security patch date still 2020-12-01 !!!
So i've decided to go for a custom rom.
... and now xiaomi let me wait 168 hours before i can go any further ?
Is there an unlocked bootloader avaiable to get past this ?
I hope instalking a custom rom will go smoother and faster
Thanks in advance , Kuoi
BTW : I have an EU version -phone
No. You must wIt one week before tou be able to unlock bootloader. That's Xiaomi policy
Thnx for the replies.
All i can say is that It's not user friendly to let us stay at a security patch date from more than 1 year old ... 2020-12-01.
just wiped the hole thing and hoped that this would do the trick and do the ota update as it should ... but no go .
I can't believe the waiting time policy and especially when i'm on this very old security patch !
My hands are tight and i will wait the time out (i can't really do ANYTHING else) , but i'm VERY DISSAPOINTED in Xiaomi right now
