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 have moved all of our devices to A520F and TAB A (2016) runing LineageOS 14.1 and I am very happy with it. The bad side is one of the A520F, which aleady costs me 2 days because wether heimdall nor odin (i setup a windows machine to test it under windows too) replied with an valuable error when trying to flash nougat, except failed. I finally found out the at some version (i think August) it is not possible to downgrade the bootloader. Now I have one device running with an unsupported LineageOS 15.1 and had to hand it out to our Boss, because all other device had their new owners. She is kinda unhappy, that hers is different from others , but we cannot buy more A5's just to maybe receive one with an downgradeable Oreo version and trash all others.
My question is now is there any possibility to work around this and downgrade her phone to Nougat to be able to run 14.1 on it too. Any crack, special keys or whatever.
Thank you very much for any hint.

Not at the moment, but 15.1 won't be too far away.
My experience: Downgrad is possible, but you can't downgrade all parts. Not 100% sure, but just don't downgrade BL.
So I know there's no official way, but is there any hack for a BND-L24 owner in the USA to flash EMUI 9.1? I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet, but I have the code saved from back when we could get the code. Related question: is it worth it to unlock the bootloader and flash a different if I'm stuck on EMUI 8.0?
Basically, I've had my phone for about 2 years. I'm starting to get sick of it. The headphone jack has stopped working reliably. The GPS ain't what it used to be. How can I breathe some new life into this phone before I give up the ghost and replace it? Thanks for all your help.
For the GPS, there is a video out there that will help you clean the corrosion on the antenna contacts. That's suppose to really get it back to working perfect.
I know on my Mate 9, there was a work around using the Flashy tool that got a bunch of us USA users to 9.1. It did rebrand the phone from C567(USA) to C432(EU). It was actually a tool developed for the P20, but worked with the Mate 9. Not sure if the OP still has his links up or not. Here is the thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...uide-how-to-install-emui-9-android-9-t3839316 Big thing is finding the right firmware to download. Right now all I can find on FF is BND-LGRP2-OVS and BND-L22. I can't exactly recall, but I believe the BND-LGRP2 is a generic system image for all of the BND phones. Huawei has changed the way they are pushing out firmware. I know when I downloaded the firmware to upgrade my mate 9 it was a generic system image.
Ok, just double checked my research and the MND-LGRP2-OVS is a generic system image and should work regardless of the Cxxx varient you have. See post #75 for clarification in this thread

Honor 9X: "Error: /preas/ xxx not found in/hw_product/hw_oem/STK-L21HN/parent_cust.c
Hello guys!
A few days ago , tried to upgrade the software of my device, manually via microsd card, using the dload method.
I got a softbrick.
I tried many roms for Honor 9X STK-LX1 (C431) but none worked.
After many attempts, i installed the latest official firmware Emui 10 with Android 10 ( STK-L21HN -10.0.0212), and the device is functional now, but with many bugs.
1) The logo screen has change from previus "HONOR 9X" to "HUAWEI".
2) The new rom is installed without a keybord. So It's difficult for me to setup the new rom.
3) In ----> Settings---->telephone information---->the model seems as "unknown " and
4) In----> Settings----->telephone information---->publication number----> "Error: /preas/ xxx not found in/hw_product/hw_oem/STK-L21HN/parent_cust.cfg"
Do you know what these errors mean and how to fix???
Thank you!

https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...fficult-to-t4177819/post83729825#post83729825
With the help of @oslo83, we managed to make the device functional.
Now it works like a charm.
It was not easy at all and oslo83 tried

I want to thank him for his interest and help.

I have the same errors with an Huawei P20 Lite (ANE-LX2) region spceas changed to eu via DC-Unlocker
Now is on this firmware:
HUAWEI ANE-LX2 9.1.0.209(C636) YAZILIM ilsasupport.com
- Installed without a keyboard. Solved downloading microsoft swiftkey from appgallery.
- Model is ANE, not ANE-LX2
- Build is: "Error: /preas/ xxx not found in/product/hw_oem/LX1/parent_cust.cfg"
This is not a big problem for me now, because all works ok, is rooted, I can use, call and play well with it. But I'm curious about what is the problem and how to solve it.
Install an other firmware, one which is right for your device's variant hardware.

So, after investigations on device, a chinese base was flashed by offline dload on this branded overseas device.
Here why the problems. Force flashing a correct base for actual branded model and region would fix.

HI friends, I have made a mistake buying iqoo9 from Aliexpress without reading the OS description. I read somewhere that vivo is supposed to be offering the option for owners to switch to funtouch is that true will I be able to do that or was that just a rumor?
Thanks in advance
Hi guys,
same situation for me. I have bought the IQOO 9 pro PD2172A and I would try to flash PD2172F ROM but I don't want to brick my phone.
I hope there is someone expert who can help.
Thank you
Same situation for me!
Bad news guys I contacted Vivo. Switching is not possible as the Chinese version is made for Chinese audience and won't let you flash funtouch. At this point all I can hope for is to be at least able to access USB debugging and remove vivos bloatware.

Hi mate, can you post us the link please? I would try to convince them to give us the possibility to switch to Global rom. At the end we have spent a lot of money for this flagship and if they don't want to lose customers in the future, they should make us happy in someway.
So there's no single way for us now to be able to flash something different onto it? Nobody tried?
the main problem is to find the original ROM so in case of problems you can revert back.
Hi there,
I've got 9 Pro version and I am interested too. is it possible to unlock bootloader? Developer options are very limited - most of functions are grayed.

Unfortunately you can't. They won't even let you use root account to use adb debugging mode to remove their crap bloatware. Unfortunate that an incredible phone like this with amazing specs is locked. I would be happy if they let me at least use adb
Do you think it's possibile at least to flash the Global version over the China version?

No the Chinese phone are branded with different model code even if we assume you manage to get to bootloader which they already have locked and when I asked them they said no. We don't allow bootloader access for phones made for Chinese markets
Traying to find the correct stock software to the Chinese version of Iqoo 9 Pro I found instead software to F model not A. I didn't know the F model does exist at all. Recently Vivo released this model (9 Pro) to India market but I am not convinced it is V2172F. Possibly this software could be downloaded to ours 9 Proses after bootloader unlocked. Am I right?

I don't know about the Indian version I looked for the model number but don't seem to find it. Either way there is no point of that. I already tried to do extract the boot file and attached it to magisk here is the catch you can't run that without bootloader unlocked
If you looking for chiness file, you may find on PAID website, such as ROMDevelopers ETC
Quick update I managed to remove a lot of vivos bloatware, not all but most of them using adb appcontrol just wanted to leave this here in case someone may find use of this info
Hi Moe990
I am doing the same and building a list of what is safe to remove.
A few weeks ago I removed an APP that disabled my NFC (Google Pay) - I had to factory reset my phone
Have you managed to remove :
- Music and Video players
- Phone / SMS / Contact APP
Thanks
Nah not everything is removable. But I'm glad with what I removed so far
I noticed I cannot google back up my phone. its greyed out ... so annyoing
