Official Huawei P30 Stock Firmware Downloads and Flashing (All Variants)
Does your Huawei P30 freeze during 4K video recording with the Leica triple camera, reboot randomly when using Huawei Share, or get stuck in a bootloop after a failed EMUI 10.1 OTA from a carrier like Vodafone in the Netherlands? These are widespread complaints on XDA and Huawei Community forums—especially for European ELE-L29 units where C431 region mismatches corrupt the vendor partition. The only bulletproof solution is flashing the correct official stock firmware that matches your exact model and cust code.
This all-in-one guide delivers verified Huawei P30 firmware for every major variant (ELE-AL00, ELE-L29, ELE-L09, ELE-L04), sourced from official channels and tested for integrity. Flashing will:
- Eliminate bootloops and eRecovery errors after interrupted updates
- Fix camera black screen crashes in Night Mode (Kirin 980 ISP bug in early EMUI 10 builds)
- Restore full OTA functionality and Google Play Services on global models
- Remove FRP and Huawei ID locks post-factory reset
With the right file and Huawei’s dload method, your P30 will run like new—smooth 60fps gaming, accurate AI scene detection, and all-day battery life from the 3650mAh cell.
CRUCIAL WARNING:
The Huawei P30 uses a Kirin 980 SoC with locked bootloader and anti-rollback protection (ARP). Flashing a firmware from a different region (e.g., C00E Chinese on C432 EEA) triggers ERROR 7 or permanent soft-brick. Always confirm your model and cust code in Settings > About Phone. EMUI 11 downgrades to 10 are blocked on some batches—use only matching build numbers. This process wipes all data, including internal storage.

Before You Begin ⚙️
- 💾 Full Backup: Use HiSuite or Google Backup—flashing erases internal storage, including DCIM and WhatsApp folders.
- 🔋 Battery ≥60%: Prevents shutdown during critical partition writes.
- 💻 Windows PC + USB-C Cable: HiSuite works best on Windows 10/11.
- 🧩 Extract Firmware: Unzip to get
UPDATE.APP—do not rename or modify.
📱 Quick Flashing Guide (5 Steps – dload Method)
- Extract Firmware: Unzip
Huawei_P30_ELE-L29_10.1.0.126_C461E4R1P3_HMT.zip(or your variant) to a FAT32-formatted USB drive in a folder nameddload. - Enter 3-Button Mode: Power off → Hold Vol Up + Vol Down + Power until Huawei logo appears → release Power only.
- Insert USB: Plug the USB drive into the P30 via OTG adapter. The device auto-detects
UPDATE.APP. - Start Flash: Progress bar appears—takes 10–15 minutes. Do not interrupt.
- Reboot: Device restarts automatically on success. First boot takes 5–7 minutes.
For HiSuite method, error codes (e.g., “Getting package info failed”), or testpoint unbrick, see our full guide:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q1: My ELE-L29 (C432) shows “Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version” after dload—what now?
- This is anti-rollback protection. Your device has a higher fuse count. Use only firmware with equal or higher build number than current (check in fastboot:
fastboot oem get-build-number). Our C431 10.0.0.190 file is safe for most European units. - Q2: Can I flash ELE-L09 firmware on ELE-L29 to enable single-SIM mode?
- No—hardware differs (SIM tray wiring). Users on Dutch forums like Tweakers report no SIM detection after cross-flashing. Stick to your exact model to avoid baseband corruption.
- Q3: How to bypass FRP after flashing on ELE-AL00?
- Use HiSuite Proxy + Firmware Finder to push a lower-security patch, then reset. Avoid testpoint unless experienced—risks damaging the SoC. Our guide includes FRP bypass via emergency recovery.
- Q4: Will flashing EMUI 11 on ELE-L04 remove Google apps?
- No—the Sigma 11.0.0.138 build is GMS-certified for global markets. Post-flash, Google Play Store and services are fully functional (unlike HMS-only Chinese builds).
