This is the official FunkyHuawei support thread.
FunkyHuawei is a (mostly) paid service which allows you to do the following:
1. Install the latest system software, even before it's released by OTA.
2. Install beta/prerelease system software, without needing to be a beta tester.
3. Recover a bricked phone.
4. Rebranding / Change the region of your phone (China -> Europe, for example, to get Google and so on.)
5. Enabling dual-sim features on single-sim phones.
6. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)
--NOTE: SOME OF THESE FEATURES NOT AVAILABLE ON P20 SERIES YET. SEE NEXT POST--
You do not need to unlock your bootloader, or void your warranty to use the service. (except the free rooting feature)
To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service as well as our rebranding tool within the following XDA Portal article.
https://www.xda-developers.com/exclusive-att-huawei-mate-10-pro-firmware/
We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone!

In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.

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.

i was able to rebrand device from ANE-AL00 to ANE-LX1 (locked bootloader) when i was running emui 8 and i did this because i couldnt find a firmware of of june 2018 patch for ANE-AL00 and after that i used the slock method to unlock my device
if u get installation failed in dload or force download, try downgrading to emui 8(if u are on 9) and then downgrade to a firmware with june patch of 2018 for ur device and then unlock it using slock(currently down check @huaweihax telegram channel) and then rebrand to whatever u want

Okay, but this is not ANE-AL00, read carefully " P20 Lite(Model NO. HWV32)" . If I'm not mistaken, it's Anne-L12JPZ (C791) build number . Unfortunately, there's no Service ROM for this build number with Google patch june 2018 or lover. Comprende? Have a nice day!

A/ since android 7 you can flash from dload folder only Service ROM. Using update.zip from fullOTA-MF the process will stuck at 5% and error message. Did you know?
B/ downgrade to lover build number is possible using Service ROM only. Did you know?
C/ Service ROM can be found here
https://androidhost.ru/search.html
or here
easy-firmware.com (paid service)
Did you know?
P.S.: Don't write about things you know nothing about. It's fun, but dangerous ...

US Snapdragon variants can now be rooted however you'll be hard pressed to to find a device other than T-mobile's which can deliver their 5G. Likely your best option is aquire the T-mobile Branded device and pay the $100 USD fee to secure root access. This post outlines how to achieve root on US S20's.
