if i buy a honor 10 from france ( COL-L29), will i receive updates in other countries, considering that my country work with gsm, and is compatible with bandwidths.
Yeah well always it depends. No branded phones with open sim will receive fastet the updates. Especially if your device will be col29c432. Now i had an experience with Vodafone UK and my P9 device didn't get any updates. But as i said preffer to buy no sim locked device and check on system before hand if its c432 the version they sell in the store.
But to answer your question even if you travel to another continent you will receive the update if there is any.
I 'll buy a sim free unlocked one, so I'll get updates

Hi, I'd like to purchase the huawei mate 10 pro dual sim, I live in the UK so a UK reseller would be preferable.
But it seems the mobile gods decided for the mid to high end UK market to only receive single sim handset variants.
Any ideas on where to purchase the mate 10 pro dual sim?
many thanks

I couldn't find one, all official UK resellers were single sim only.
I ended up getting an imported one from Asia and rebranding to the Euro version.
Means I'm not covered by warranty though as it was a phone from outside of the EU, even though it acts like an EU model now.
If you do get a resold one maybe try to get one from the EU rather than Asia so you have a better chance of manufacturer warranty. And you wouldn't need to rebrand to get the better compatibility of volte and WiFi calling on the UK networks. I only didn't as I couldn't find any, but that was a few months ago.
Chances of finding a dual sim model that Huawei intend to be sold in the UK though are next to 0. I think I've seen posts from people in Germany and Sweden where the dual sim EU model is officially sold.
In Romania is sold dual sim also, everywhere. Only Vodafone sell this phone with single-sim.

that's a bummer, UK always gets the worse deals, I hate shopping for mobiles
I know the European p20 pro volte works on T-Mobile USA, do any European firmwares for the mate 10 pro work with T-Mobile USA volte?
I'm concerned about us region not getting updates.
Currently I'm on BLA-A09 c567
Same here. USA versions are lagging WAY behind other variants in terms of updates. I wonder if this has to do with the USA government recommending against Huawei devices. Is the Huawei saying F U back to the USA?
I would assume that is certainly the case. They have probably given up and do not feel any necessity to service a lost market.
I have given up any hope of getting any future huawei flagship devices here, hopefully will still be able to import them from europe if they they are not completely banned and that volte will work.

I've got the same issue and I spoke to Huawei US and they said we are getting the updates on July.... I initially believed it was an FU to the USA about VoLTE not working on the international brand of the phone while it works just fine on the P20 but now I believe that's pure sales strategy. Since there is no USA version of the P20 Pro, of course they can allow VoLTE to work out of the box in the USA. But since there is a us version of the Mate 10 Pro, they likely need to differentiate to sell more USA versions. That's my 2 cents. I'll be curious to see if these updates come in July as I was told.
Lastly - the most frustrating thing about Huawei is they say it's not them limiting the international version of the phone with VoLTE in the USA (BLA-L29) but it's the carrier. But we know this is complete bull**** because there is a carrier file on the International phone and US VoLTE is turned off. If you root your phone, you can turn it on and it works just fine. Not sure why they just can't be honest...

Since the U.S. government pretty much threw Huawei under the bus, I've been reluctant to get
a Mate10 pro, for fear of not receiving updates. The Mate9, that I currently have is still waiting
on the June patch, and now the July patch has hit FF. Neither, are approved.
Could someone tell me if the international version, BLA-L29 that I see is available on Amazon,
and has the bands to work in the USA, will the patches be more "approved" for this version,
than the one that has the U.S. warranty (Amazon), both appear to be L29 versions.
TIA
Huawei has promised bi-monthly updates for it's phones... Besides, the Android Enterprise Recommend program requires one security update every 90 days, if your Mate 9 is running on May 1, it's still within the boundaries of what Google requires.
Lots of updates will come to FF, not all of them will ever get released, they might have bugs or other problems.
I've been reading various threads to determine if it's better to get the US or International version of the Mate 10 or 10 Pro
Is there a difference with unlocking the bootloader for the US/non-US versions?
Based on what I've read it seems to be more difficult to unlock/root etc the US version.
The Mate 10 specs claim that you can increase the storage via SD card in the Sim slot, but I checked a few Amazon verified purchases that claim there is no SD card via sim.
Lastly, I'm curious about ROM/Mod support, it seems pretty thin.
I'd like to install Magisk and possibly the ElementalX kernel. I typically install monthly security patches, but once I'm satisfied with performance, stability, and battery life I usually leave the phone as is.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You are much better off buying a BLA-L29 and rebranding it as a BLA-A09 so it will work with VoLTE in the US on T-MOBILE and AT&T. If you try to do anything with a BLA-A09, you will likely end up bricking it. You can't force a dual SIM even though a dual SIM holder fits in the BLA-A09 and no memory card support.
Doing it the BLA-L29 way, you get the dual SIM and it actually works on the US rebranded.
That's my recommendation. I signed up for Funkyhuawei club to do everything.
Hope this is helpful.
I do prefer the P20 Pro over the Mate 10 Pro though.
Good luck.

OK, to make sure I understand this - BLA-A09 is US version, BLA-L29 is non- US. The BLA-A09 does NOT support dual SIM?
Rebranding ensures the phone works better on T-Moble (I use project Fi); what about APN settings - do they have to be tweaked to work with T-Mobile?
The ability to add storage is pretty important to me, so I was focusing on the Mate 10 over the Pro, if I'm correct, the pros sim slot does not support an SD card, but the Mate 10 does.
I assume rebranding is also important if I get the Mate 10 (not pro)
Have you tried to use the phone with Android auto? I've heard it doesnt work, and that the bluetooth connectivity is also dodgy.
Im reading Funkyhuawei on XDA now, thanks

APN should just come over naturally. But if you do not need a 2nd SIM, you actually are better off with the US version only because the cellular radio on the us version, the A09 is tweaked slightly better to pick up the US cellular better BUT software updates are like never on the US version or last in line. So it's kind of a toss up. I don't have connection issues with my P20 or my mate 10 and they are both Europe versions and I'm on T-MO. And P20 Pro does not support memory card either...

Also the L29 Version has more LTE bands so you need to compare those as well.
I was on the fence on these two models as well but pretty much decided the L29 was best cause if updates. I wish by now the A09 wasn't last in line as claimed (unless something has recently changed) I'm not really sure though but hearing about better cellular reception or stronger on the A09 makes me wonder if the L29 can be flashed with equal as to the A09 but again who knows.
I haven't purchased one yet as I need to sell 2 phones I have now first.

I found the Huawei Mate 10 ALP-AL00 128 GB unlocked for $575 with shipping, no tax. It will take up to 2 weeks for delivery via USPS, thanks for your advice.
Just be aware that only the A09 will have a warranty in the US. None of the international models or variants have warranty coverage of any kind when sold in the US (and they can tell what the phone originally was by the imei and serial number). Amazon sells the A09 and the L29 models (either one you can get pretty quick).

My question is if I bought the Mate 10 pro BLA-L29 version (cause of faster updates) but rebrand to BLA-A09 for VoLte on T-Mobile then will my updates be for A09 version (being last to get updates) or will my updates come from L29 for my device?

If you rebranded an L29 to an A09 you "should" get the A09 updates, there is an issue with the IMEI though as updates verify that number so an L29 rebranded to an A09 "might not get any updates as it would still have L29 IMEI numbers (not an expert on that though). With the lack of any warranty on L29 devices in the US unless you absolutely have to have dual SIM capability I would just get the A09 model.
Hello mates
I'm lookin forward to buy my first huawai device, but I'm not sure where I should buy the device. Let me explain this a litte bit more:
I could buy the Mate 20 Pro directly from Switzerland, for a very good price. But I also coud buy the device from Germany, also okayish price.
Now I'm not sure if it is a difference if I buy a non branded device from one of these countries, in the term of how I receive Updates.
In the past I used a Samsung Device bought in Switzerland, and my German Neigbours got their updates Months before it was availible in Switzerland.
Do you know if Huawai also uses different Region Updates, or is there someone, who owns the device from switzerland/germany who is at the newst version, were they released on the same date?
If you're in CH , buy in CH for the guarantee. As for the updates, they are really random on Huawei. I got my M20P friday (from CH), I put my SIM inside and got the -.122 (two patches) directly. Some people who got their phones in the UK, but live in the UK, depending of which SIM they put inside they did or didn't get the last update. For example people who had an EE or O2 SIM didn't get the update, they then swapped to a Vodafone SIM and got their update right away. There is THREAD discussing this.
