Mate 20 Pro region change - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi
I have a mate 20 pro LYA-L09 but its region is set at C900, I have not gotten any of the updates since getting the phone, is there a way to change the region?

Just guessing here but, try changing your Huawei region on the Huawei Apps Gallery (I don't remember the exact name for the Huawei Store).

I think you meant Huawei app gallery. No, it doesn't work.
To OP. Is your phone bound by carrier? If no, it means it is an international unlocked version. VPN wouldn't solve your issue. Your best bet is to insert another country's SIM card into your phone and hopefully receive that country's update.

Hey no its not bound to a carrier, I got it direct from Huawei, will see if i can get my hands on another countries sim card. Thank you

I bought my phone in Malaysia, international version, and am using it in the US on T-Mobile. I just received the update tonight after checking the settings. It'll come, it just takes time.

[Q] Bought Gear S in Hong Kong

Hi all,
I bought a Gear S in Hong Kong last week.
I am unable to load the Navigator app, and the existing map program called Amap does not seem to work, I can never get it to get a lock onto the GPS.
Also, the Amap program is the only program that is completely in Chinese, the rest of the programs defaulted to English when I set up via my Note 4.
So, is there another firmware I can flash with the English version of everything?
Or does anyone have information on how to use it?
I know that the GPS in the watch works as I used it to find weather info whilst connected to a 3g network in Thailand.
Any help at all would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Just curious as to what the full model number is on your unit? It seems like the last letter on the model designates the watch region. I have one coming from Korea with K as the last digit of the model number (SM-R750K), so I may have a similar issue. Unfortunately, genuine Australian stock is unavailable until mid January.
From my understanding, these watches were specially designed for the providers. That meaning, that they are designed as region specific. Now, most of this is done through software design, some hardware, such as antennas and their design requirements.
The navigation app that comes on the ATT model is called "Here". And, so far, is severely lacking in many ways.
I have a Hong Kong gear s that came with amap app, I downloaded the UK firmware from sammobile and flashed with odin 3.09.
It rebooted to the clock face with the amap app still there BUT a simple factory reset on the gear S brought the here maps icon up and NO amap app.

The US T-mobile version ends with a T, the ATT version with an A.. Guessing the Verizon with a V and Sprint with an S?

Wait, I have SM-R750K.
I can flash a different model Firmware and everything will be fine (Becuase I didn't find a SM-R750K firmware anywhere incase of problems)

Mine was imported from Hong Kong and I flashed the btu (British ) rom without issue. I'm by no way an expert, might be worth a PM to cipherswitch he has a rom thread over in the development section. Hope it works out for you.
Yes. I have a Russian Gear, and re-flashed it in around 10 mins with UK firmware to get the right updates. Surprised at how easy it was!
bands
i am in the us... if I flash the btu firmware will it possibly read my sim card? or are the bands inside the watch phone completely different.

Hi there
any link with instructions for this?? I know how to flash firmwares on cellphones using using Odin and I know where I can download them for my N4. But I'm kinda lost for the Gear S ;-; I just bought a brand new one on eBay for 25 bucks, it's model number is SM-R750K, it should be here in a few days.

The only watches that will work in the US are the Verizon, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile watches. Its hardware, no software will fix this.

The R750K will not work in the US.
Hey All,
The region lock on the Gear S might not be playing much of a role. It seems the actual device running the Gear Manager determines the availablility of apps for the Gear S. My SM-N9005 is originally from Malaysia which has a CSC of (XAR). And when my SM-R750P (with Japan Rom) is connected to it, I lose access to tons of apps. However, if I use my Tab S (SM-T700) with CSC Code XAR (US Cellular South), I have access to a lot more Apps.
The point here; changing the firmware of the Gear S doesn't seem to be that significant to obtain Apps from the Galaxy App stores.

I'm aware of the band/frequency incompatibility of the hardware, anyways I don't want to use it with a carrier. Just with my devices.

Wondering if you received the watch yet, and if it was working for you. I was also thinking about picking up that deal, but don't want to pay any amount for an unusable watch.
Does the region lock on the gear s from abroad still active even if you flash a uk btu rom? Ie my fruend is giving me his from UAE he knows nothing about tech so explaining to him to put his uae sim in the watch and make a call to disable the region lock he prob wont do.
If he doesnt and it's never been used with a sim. Ic i flash the uk btu firmware will the region lock change to a uk one instead or is it hardware region lock as opposed to software?

Vodafone only want you to pay for the first 30 days, not necessarily to sit through them. If you've already paid for your first month's usage in advance, ask them to unlock your 'phone - you're already eligible.

Scamming gits, as if they didn't know my phone requires higher level of encryption or not....must be common trick they use to get more money....I'll request a refund and get the code free from Vodafone albeit I'll have to wait 30 days!

I'm in Australia and here Vodafone supply the 'phone already unlocked - they simply refuse to sell you the 'phone unless you sign up for a plan (which you can then cancel during the first month, meaning you'll only be forced to pay for one month's service).
Perhaps ask Vodafone UK directly (the company, not a shop assistant); they may well supply it unlocked too.
I got mine from China through AliExpress so have the genuine (international) stock ROM, but I've heard Vodafone throw on their own bloatware - so you might also want to consider getting it "re-branded" to the stock AL29 (or AL09 if it's a single-SIM version) ROM to get rid of the bloatware.
The crooks are messing me about now saying they've sent my unlock request to the carrier and refusing to refund as requested about 3 times! Bunch of scamming idiots!

rebranded unlocked

Hi Team. Picked up unlocked m10 pro from UK store. Put my 3 sim network in there and it's totally rebranded as a 3 phone (boot animation etc.) And not a factory reset clears it down. Other sims work but I want rid of it really. Any ideas? Thanks
You can't now. Only way is to rebrand it European build C432
Boy I'm glad T-Mobile doesn't do that stuff here in the US!
It's because 3 mobile UK have an exclusive to sell it on contact I believe
Thanks for the input peeps. Rang Huawei and they said ring 3 shouldn't be happening and also swap device 'again' back at carphone whorehouse. I'm no stranger to flashing stuff but there isn't a great deal out there on rebranding to C432 as stated previous. Any decent guides? Cheers

This is the thread you need to rebrand, the other option would be to go back to wherever you bought tickets, swap it for a new handset, get Vodafone SIM, and make sure that's the first sim you install, it has no branding as such, just two apps which can be removed.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814/page68
I bought one as well and it's also branded 3 but that's about it, apart from the Huawei apps it's fine
Are your wanting to rebrand because of the splash screen
Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk
the rebranding for 3 is for a reason i believe but not sure, i've still not received an update from huawei regarding the re-branding of the phones when you place a 3 sim in it.
i think the reason is to allow the phone to use the 3 wifi calling without the actual app, i pixel xl won't work on 3 unless i use the app, but the mate 10 pro works. I've also heard that the wifi calling features of the phone do not work on O2 without an app, so it could be for this reason the phone updates and installs their bootloader.

This feature is mobile services dependent. If you're mobile service provider doesn't offer this feature you can't use it. For me it's been available since I've got the phone in November, because my provider has this feature.

This feature was available for some time now. But it depended on the manufacturer of the smartphone and carrier to work. It seems that Google made this to work without any dependencies.

I tried man. I spoke to vodafone first. they had no idea why is was not working. I spoke to oppo and they did not know. I spoke to swisscom who said that the 5g is locked to thier service only. I dont think its a case of unlocking that. When i had android 9, there was no 5g option. There was just a Smart 5G toggle. I have no upgraded to android 10 and i have lost that. I cant even see 5g as on the options.

I bought it (used) from ebay who also provided the receipt showing it was bought from the swisscom store. I actually remember speaking to swisscom on whatsapp and i think they said that the 5G will work providing the frequencies match. As far as i know this phone has the frequency for vodafone 5G service so i am confused why its never worked.
I have given up on this. I just assumed if the phone is 5G and has the correct frequency there should be no issuue if the phone was not purchased in the UK. It is unlocked because i have used o2 and voda on it and it works fine. JUST NOT FOR 5G.

I tried man. I spoke to vodafone first. they had no idea why is was not working. I spoke to oppo and they did not know. I spoke to swisscom who said that the 5g is locked to thier service only. I dont think its a case of unlocking that. When i had android 9, there was no 5g option. There was just a Smart 5G toggle. I have no upgraded to android 10 and i have lost that. I cant even see 5g as on the options.
Baffling
