The Huawei P40 Pro (codename "Elsa" or "ELS") is a flagship device, but it is most famous for being Huawei's first flagship launched globally without Google Mobile Services (GMS). The most common user complaint or issue is the difficulty of sideloading Google apps, which can be unstable or break after an update. Other reported issues include battery drain on EMUI 12, app compatibility problems, or in rare cases, a bootloop. Flashing an official stock firmware is the best way to fix these software bugs, unbrick a stuck device, or perform a clean installation.

‼️ CRITICAL WARNING: READ BEFORE FLASHING ‼️
  • High Risk: Flashing firmware on this device is extremely risky if done incorrectly. Flashing the wrong file will hard-brick your device.
  • NO GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES (GMS): Flashing any of this firmware WILL NOT INSTALL GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES (GMS). This device was not certified for GMS. Flashing a different region's firmware will not add Google apps.
  • CHINA vs. GLOBAL:
    • ELS-AN00 / TN00 models are for China (C00). Their firmware has no Google apps and is NOT compatible with global models.
    • ELS-Nxx / NX9 models are Global (C432, C185, C605, etc.).
    • Flashing a Chinese ROM on a Global phone (or vice-versa) will cause a brick or loss of network.
  • FILE TYPE: Almost all files below are dloadpackages.
    • Dload Packages: These are for the user-friendly SD Card / OTG method (Method 1). Note: Many are in
      Code: 
      .rar
      or
      Code: 
      .7z
      archives; you must extract them to find the
      Code: 
      dload
      folder inside.
    • Specialized Files (Remove_Huawei_ID): This file is for EXPERTS ONLY to repair a device and can cause damage if misused. (Method 2).
Note: This process will erase all your data. Back up everything first.

➡️ How to Flash the Firmware​

Method 1: Huawei dload (for ...Dload.zip / .rar files)​

Use this method for all files listed in Section 1 and 2.
  1. Step 1: Download and extract the correct firmware
    Code: 
    .zip
    or
    Code: 
    .rar
    file for your model.
  2. Step 2: Inside the extracted files, locate the `dload` folder (which contains a large `update.app` file).
  3. Step 3: Copy the entire `dload` folder to the root directory of your Nano Memory (NM) card or USB OTG drive.
  4. Step 4: Power off your Huawei P40 Pro completely.
  5. Step 5: Insert the NM card or connect the USB OTG drive. Press and hold all three buttons: Volume Up + Volume Down + Power. Keep holding until the EMUI update screen appears. The phone will automatically find the file and start flashing.
For a complete, detailed guide, please refer to the full step-by-step tutorial: How to Unbrick and Flash Huawei Firmware (dload method).


Method 2: Advanced PC Flash (for ...Remove_Huawei_ID.rar)​

‼️ WARNING: EXPERTS ONLY ‼️
The file in Section 3 is NOT for the dload method. It is a factory repair ROM that requires special PC software and expert knowledge. This often requires putting the phone into a special mode by shorting test points on the motherboard. This is for experts only.


🛑 Disclaimer: This process is performed at your own risk. We are not responsible for any data loss, bricked devices, or damage. Flashing will not add Google Play Services. Flashing a Chinese (AN/TN) ROM on a Global (N) phone will cause a brick or loss of network. Using the Remove Huawei ID file is extremely risky. If you have any problems, please drop a comment on the thread.​
