*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
Recommending to turn on step by step caption guide.

Do NOT give up if your first attempt fails. Factory reset is recommended if failure happens, try again and I am sure you can get it done by following this guide, however you will need to make sure you follow all the steps one by one, and do NOT try jumping. Even the button of “OK” , “Open”, “Done” or selecting app from Muti Task Manager instead of re-enter apps from the Home screen at different timing or sequence may impact the result.

This method has been tested on the following devices (model# ending with ANxxx or ALxxx after “-“) running on Harmony OS 2.0 or 3.0:
Mate X Series: X2
Mate 40 Series: 40 / 40 Pro / 40 Pro+
Mate 30 Series: 30 4G / 30 5G / 30 Pro 4G / 30 Pro 5G,
P40 Series: P40 / 4G / Pro / Pro+
Mate Pad Series:Pro WIFI / Pro 5G
Note: international versions may not compatible
