In this tutorial, we will check out the steps to install the stock Dload Firmware on Huawei Mate 30 Pro [LIO-L29]. The device is often dubbed as the best phone that you wouldn’t buy. The reason for this is the absence of Google apps which stems down to the US-China Trade war and ultimately resulted in Huawei parting ways from GMS or Google Mobile Services (though there still exists a method to install Google apps on the Mate 30 Pro).
But, let’s give it credit where it is due. The device boasts of some impressive specifications out of the box. The 6.53 OLED touchscreen is protected by the latest Gorilla Glass 6. The octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 990 chipset and a huge 8GB of RAM on top of it really make it a beast in this segment. The triple rear camera of 40+40+8MP coupled with the 32MP front camera manages to take some amazing photos.

And if you are one of the users who are using a custom ROM for this device but wishes to go back to stock, this guide will definitely come in handy. Likewise, you could easily upgrade your device firmware through this method.
