Hi,
Got my mate 20 pro with October security update installed in mid December. However, haven't yet received any further update
Is there any way to update to the latest update without using FH method? OR just wait for the update to be available?
Currently residing in South Africa, have tried connecting to different countries via VPN and then tried searching for an update but have been unlucky!
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks
RG
Try asking Huawei. They responded to my question via email in 2 business days.
Indian version is still on October security patch
You are lucky us optus customers are still on 9.0.0.122 and nothing in sight because it takes optus 6 months to test it....slow company.

I got M20 Pro from Singapore, When I landed in India for my holidays I got the latest .171 update.
You aren't missing much,
post-update-craze-phase will last for a week. I am on 171 and, may be ,there are couple of improvements in few departments but you will hardly notice the difference.
but don't make the mistake of letting FunkyHuawei monetize out of your lack of patience. Version 171 has enabled option to unlock OEM. Also I would not risk rooting a Chinese phone.
Thanks guys, I'm currently happy with the device, just want an update that fixes selfie processing, rest all good
So glad to know that I'm not missing much in terms of an update..
Thanks again.
RG
I'm just waiting for an update to see if it fixed the messaging notification and Google maps, also I'm having an issue with a few apps occasionally not loading like opinion rewards, apkmirror, auspost, music I have to clear cache, optimise battery, use phone manager to optimise memory and sometimes even reboot to get the apps to load correctly.

Yes its worst update cycle in India.
When Samsung Note 9 got 1st January 2019 security update, mate 20 pro in India is still with october update.
We need to complain together with huawei.
The worst part is my brothers Honor View 10 of a year and half back device got November security update when 3 to 4 times higher price flagship is with October security update.
Flagship value in India for huawei is NIL it seems

I'm posting this to xda hoping it will get some attention because of the partnership. Around the middle of last year Honor volunteered to promise us regular updates for at least 1 and up to 2 years, but I don't think I've seen an update since Marshmallow. I know that doesn't necessarily mean Nougat, but it certainly doesn't mean nothing. Am I wrong? Has anyone else got anything since Marshmallow/EMUI 4 on their l-24?

I have L21, European. Got Marshmallow update, got B330 and B350 OTAs few days after purchase somewhere in November, and that's it. There is a January update (B360) which doesn't want to install on my device (frankly, I don't care anymore, my kiwi is running Lineage for two months now), so I guess this is end of a line, if 5X even gets something it will be much later this year. Marshmallow updates will probably still get published, but with no apparent schedule or plan.
I have B331, which is what I've had since Marshmallow, and even if I'd seen the few updates you got it would have at least been something to point at and try to convince myself they didn't just lie to boost their sales. I was fully onboard with Honor and was gonna stay loyal but this is getting under my skin. Plus I emailed their support that I thought was great last year but now I've never received a reply.
Hi
I have the Middle Eastern version of the Honor 5X.
The model number is: KIW-L21
My phone is running the latest available Marshmallow update which is B310 (middle east variant).
I understand that no Nougat update will be released, but when will the update for VoLTE support and WiFi calling be released for the Middle East version of this phone ? ? ?
VoLTE support has been available for the Indian version (KIW-L22) of this phone for many months now.
Honor is a smartphone brand that cannot be trusted - all they are good for is cheap false promises.
I will NEVER buy another Huawei or Honor phone again !
Anyone know if Huawei are any good with updates, will we get Android 8.1 or is that just wishful thinking?
They used to be very bad but now with project treble it's actually quite fast with the security patch and stuff, I have the January security patch on my Mediapad M3, Mate 9 and 10 as well as android 8 on both of my mates

You all should rebrand. I bought this mate 10 original (C636) said international..
I got two updates in less than a month of purchasing the phone. Huawei is faster than HTC 10 unlocked and way faster than Sony and Samsung ever was for me.
Ps. there's a thread for updates already, you know where..

No one really should have to do that, Huawei stated back end of last year that they will be pushing updates faster which is really not true. I am still on November security patch in the UK also. I bought Mate 9 and Mate 10 Pro only because I don't want to worry about battery When I leave home and it does give me insane battery life. However with the rise of security breaches, malware, adware and more having a secure phone is now becoming a priority than having long battery and as such I will be only using Google phones going forward.

Wow.. weird.. lol I stuck my Bell sim in and was actually surprised they gave me the APN settings but thats all.
That "three" sim sounds like bs. I'd be switching my provider.

Just got Mate 10 Lite, why is there no OTA Oreo update for RNE-L21.
I see news article from months ago saying Oreo update started. Any way i can force update or something without rooting or unlocking bootloader?
Not bad at delivering updates.

I have received the following updates in this exact order.
127 on December the 15th 2017
129 on 3rd of February 2018
137 on the 20th of April 2018
142 on the 7th of June 2018
145 on the 14th of July 2018
148 on the 28th of August 2018
150 on the 4th of September 2018
So all in all not bad to be honest...
P.S. I have screenshots if you want proof
But the biggest wait now is the android 9.... I am curious if we are going to get it before the end of the year...
Edit: I've spelled bad as bat corrected now.

We will. Though I believe it will come a while after mate 20 launch since they will want to promote new features. They would hurt themselves by showing customers "hey, we just released a big update for our old , now cheaper phone which brings newest os and tons of new features".

I believe L29 models will get updates fast. I'm in the U.S. and have both L09 (mine) and L29 (mom's) models and the L29 has been receiving updates periodically while the L09 just received 8.0.0.123. The L29 now has Face ID unlock and the L09, according to the Huawei rep, has no plan for that feature for the U.S. version in the meantime. Lesson learned. Buy the international version.
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'm a bit confused. I just received mine yesterday (after 2 weeks eBay shipping debacle) and I went to look for my pie update, but there isn't one available. So I came here and read through a few posts and it seems that some people have upgraded and others haven't. I the SHT-W09 version. I've read where some have recommended using hisuite, but when I tried to, it said I needed "Huawei Mobile Services", which won't install via the link that it provides. Can someone point me in the right redirection? I'm just trying to get this think upgraded to Android Pie.
If you have a US version, you do not have 9.

yeah the manufacturer isn't too keen on releasing pie for US base devices and has nothing to do with the China trade war they've never issued us devices full OS updates from what I am told.

You are very wrong. I've owned various Huawei devices for years. Before the Mate 10 Pro debacle when Trump bullied AT&T and Best Buy into not carrying the M10P Huawei provided full OS updates to it's US customers the same as outside the US for its products.
But after the M10P Huawei abandoned the US market. The US model M10P received no feature or OS updates from Huawei while the international models were updated.
Prior to the M10P we got the same updates as everybody else so you can definitely thank Trump for the fact that the US model isn't receiving OS updates.
Just updated ot 9.1.0.328(C432E3R1P2) - September updates for the 8.4" UK version.
If you have the north american version. you do not get android 9.
If you have any other version you have or will get android 9.
Anyway to hack a Android 9 onto NA versions?
I have CMR-AL19 from ebay.... (Media Pad M5 Pro) - Still Android 8.0.0 - > 4 times called support, 3 times they told me it isn't available for my model and fourth time they told me they manually push an update and if it still isn't available to update I have to bring it to a store.... no store in my near....I'm a bit annoyed.
My S23 Ultra (European EUX OXM) hasn't been updated with the February 2023 Security Patch Level. I'm on S918BXXU1AWA6.
Though, I recently updated my S21 Ultra (AUT) and strangely it's more updated than my S23 Ultra .

EDIT: Added a poll in order see when the February Patch will be released.
No. You're not the only one
Sane for me too and my wife's 23+
they probably will releases an update before/on the official launch day (Friday 17th)

I think you do not know, but there is quite major difference between google play and security patch.
Yeah I think it'll be tomorrow ah about 9ish, that's what happened last year anyway
Anyway, incredible that this device is so good with pre release firmware.
Imagine if with time they will further improve camera and battery life

You are right, my mistake
Samsung is a lot better with updates. The only reason you wouldn't get an update on time is if there's a bad bug that requires fixing and the update got pulled. Also South Korea obviously gets updates first followed by Europe. USA gets updates anywhere from 3-5 days to 1-2 weeks after Europe does. From my experience on previous Galaxy's it was always about 1 week after updates went out in Europe for my USA Galaxy to get updated.

I wish I could agree, but where I am, the security updates have been sporadic at best, last one in S21ULTRA was the January sec patch delivered February 21. More often than not in 2022 two security updates were delivered at the same time, almost 3 months later than the Pixel.
Oh I was confused glad I'm not the only one.

where are you from? I guess it also depends on your country since there may be special circumstances, specific carriers or government approval, ect. that is delaying your update since once Samsung sends out updates in S. Korea their should be no reason why you are not getting the update unless your country or your specific carrier is holding it back. It used to be really bad here in the USA but the last 3 years I have seen a huge improvement in the update schedule for Samsung devices.
my s23 ultra security patch Jan 2023.
Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G security patch Feb 2023.
no day one patch so far with the security patch for february
I think they decided the phone is perfect already, **** the updates
Yeah, just checked for new OTA software updates.
Also checked on Sammobile Firmware.
No luck
