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.

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 !
My kate has been with me faithfully more or less since day one, have replaced the screen twice, replaced the charging port once and still she is rocking
The upcoming NOTE 5 pro has caught my attention SD636 and will work out £145 roughly with the 20% reduction on Aliexpress for the gold version (not too bothered about the colour)

Is it time to upgrade and if so is it a viable upgrade?
China version was only release today.
Your link is a place holder listing, that has been up for about 2 weeks.
No global rom available yet and link say supports Band 20 etc, that particular device has not been announced yet.
If you order from there you will probably get the china/Indian version with a vendor rom.
See https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/ for latest on that particular device!
1. Two CDMA SIM cards cannot work at the same time (when one chooses 4G Network, the other SIM card has no Signal.)

The China/Global version will have support for Dual Sim use, so that is the Indian version or the listing are not fully accurate for the device.
Its the Chinese version
I would not buy the Indian version

You won't know what version it is till you get it.
Check the specs against this spec list.
Already point out one error in the listing that makes it sound like it is the Indian version.
And back camera specs is for Indian version: - Back camera 12.0MP f/2.2 + 5.0MP f/2.0
As your using a Kate, I assume you would need the global version for EU bands (3,7 and 20). Wait till the global version is release.
Its definitely the Chinese version look at the delivery time the phone is not due out for another month or so
Also it is the global version
BUYER BEWARE!
Another error in the link provided, states android 7!
Chinese version comes with Oreo 8.1!
Also the linked store is not an official xiaomi store.
They also updated the listing with: -
Tips: Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Global Version has not arrived, it is pre-sale for now.
Expected 24 April starting shipping!

Also the preorder amount is overpriced!
Look I know you mean well
See this article to clear up the confusion: https://www.review-hub.co.uk/redmi-note-5-review/
Trust me its the chinese version, its the global version, it will come shipped with Oreo
Anyway back on topic what do you think?
@gap30 Your article has not told me anything new.
They may well ship the global version.
I intend to purchase it from a more reliable store, probably from one that provided VAT Free DHL Shipping to EU!
For example Hong Kong Goldway or Mi Global Store.
Both stores also have pre-orders up, with limited listings, or inaccurate for global device.
Or a retailer with EU Warehouses.
Your particular store, i have a bad taste from, they use to label themselves as Xiaomi Authorized Store before.
My Kenzo is still performing well, so I will wait until July/August to purchase. By then the prices should have stabilized.
Also we will have a better picture of Custom Rom Support. But for a device that has Oreo and Treble support, i don't see a problem in that matter.
Well initial reports seem fairly positive on the CPU: https://www.androidcentral.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-pro-benchmarks-snapdragon-636a
Edit
@gap30 Did you manage to pre-order one at the sale price? Within an hour the price return to the full amount. So I say they didn't offer many at the sale price.
It is also available pre-order from Mi Global Store for a similar price with VAT free shipping.
^^^^ Pre-order at your own risk, does not list full specs or Bands supported.
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.
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

Just wondering if it's been confirmed either way if the USA version of the Mate 10 Pro will be getting EMUI 10? Have been seeing stories posted on other sites that it's rolling out in many other countries, but we all know the USA variant is the red-headed stepchild of the Mate 10 Pro family. Pulled mine out of a drawer and tried to update to see if maybe a miracle had happened but only got an older security update. It's still running EMUI 9.0. Looks like most other variants are running 9.1. Thanks!
My response to clashyicon here. I think it would be a miracle.
Wishing and hoping but it hasn't happened, yet
HUAWEI really has no incentive to make it happen, either.
