Some reviewers had posted that the January security update was pushed prior to release, but I've had my 5X running since Tuesday and its still on the December patch.
I made sure to manually check for updates just in case and the phone didn't see anything. I'm connected to both data and wi-fi so I'm not sure what is up.
Has anyone received it other than pre-release folks?

Honor has a BetaClub program that lets users test a new software build before it gets released to everyone. The update with the January Android security patches should be out soon.

See my thread here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-kiw-l24-to-stock-t3318268
Bit of a newbie here, came across this forum when looking at new phones and was quite excited by the idea of being able to play with all that was available in the phone.
So I went and bought a 5x have got my unlock code but have not unlocked it just yet, I am UK based and so have the L21 and just wanted to check that the general consensus is to leave the thing untouched (except for a new launcher and a few apps installed) until I have received or somehow updated to the B140 update.
I couldn't work out in the other thread about returning to stock if the B140 for the Kiwi 21 had actually been released yet, couldn't find any downloads on the Huawei site for the UK.

I'm not sure how I could be more clear that the B140 update is for the L24 only
I just uploaded the latest OTA B140 for the KIW-L24 here >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759882720
KIW-L21 Users See post 8 for the files you need (But note the OTA is only for the L24)

That's what I thought thanks for confirming. I will wait till my phone updates before I try debloating scripts etc...

Hi. I'm thinking of trying firmware finder to update my phone. It does not look difficult to use. I'm currently on ALP-L29 8.0.0.119(C636) and the newest version is ALP-L29 8.0.0.126(C636). Before I try I was wondering if someone could provide a change log to see if there are significant enough changes to make it worthwhile. Also I see two versions that are available of ALP-L29 8.0.0.126(C636). One is a full version and the second is about 1/4 the size. Presumable I should go with the full version. Also, can I go directly to the full version or should I go up incrementally. For example there is a 8.0.0.125 version. Should I start with that one. Then up to 126? Also is data preserved if I update? Thanks and any comments on experiences would be appreciated!
EDIT: Just a brief update. It looks like version ALP-L29 8.0.0.125(C636) has been pulled. Also, Firmware Finder does give you the change log (see post 4 in this thread for ALP-L29 8.0.0.126(C636) change log).
EDIT 2: According to Firmware Finder, although listed, the version ALP-L29 8.0.0.126(C636) is not yet approved for installation. Have to be patient!

Data is preserved no problem but have you checked if either version is available for your phone? Huawei signs off each firmware update and releases each update in batches

Hello there, I think you should go immediately with the full version instead of stepping up incrementally. As for change logs, i'm afraid that isn't really available or it will be rather generic. I haven't tried updating with FF yet but it's something that I'm considering if my OTA takes a lot longer to arrive. Having said that, i'm on BLA-L29 .119 (C636) too and I hardly encounter any bugs in my daily usage so I'm not in that much of a rush to update either. Yes, data is preserved.

I didn't realize it at the time I started this thread but Firmware Finder does give you the change log. Also the version ALP-L29 8.0.0.125(C636) has been pulled so the only option on Firmware Finder now is to go to 126. The update seems a little incremental but might be worth doing. I'm actually quite happy with Mate 10 but it would be nice if features like wifi calling, voip and VoLTE are added at some point
There is now a ALP-L29 8.0.0.128(C636) for our devices. I'll probably wait for FunkyHuawei to get this update since I have credit and install it tonight
Hi
i have a Huawei Mate 10 (ALP-L29 8.0.0.135(C185)).
when i checking for new update (in settings) it will not find any new update While the update number 139 is also available in internet (EMUI 8.1).
However, I downloaded new update package files from the Internet But they are not installed on my phone!
Today, I have not received an update for two months (even google monthly security updates)!
i sent email to Huawei, sent Tweets to Huawei Tweeter, called to Huawei Support but They didn't answer.
What should I do?
Same problem bro .... wait some solutions !!!!!
I received ALP-L29 8.0.0.137 C185 (and patch 1) a few weeks ago.
139 is not approved yet (and its still 8.0, not 8.1).
No Pie beta yet.

Even if its there on the internet they release the updates in different times due to regional differences tho there must be an update soon including pie and Google security patches
They are late because the beta pie is not stable yet tho we should see something soon
Maybe tmw as it is the launch of mate 20
I got the .139 update yesterday, so maybe op can try again? Not sure why the update releases are so slow/behind though. It is for September... Is Huawei normally a month or two behind Google's security patches?
I talked to Huawei USA Customer support on 12-21-18 and they stated the for the model BLA-A09 US Model that it will start receiving the Android Pie 9 update around mid-January 2019 via the OTA update feature.
Latest from Huawei Customer support on 1-22-2019 @ 2:24 PM CST USA
The updates will be completed by the second half of February.
This depends on the Serial Number, the Model and the Region of each device.
That would be the reason why it is not with you yet.
Nibiru2012 - So you're saying by the end of February or before?
Lisandro M. Since your device is indeed scheduled to be updated, is just a matter to wait and keep on verifying the updates on the notifications or using HiSuite.
They will be done, before the second half.

My phone updated today, Saturday January 26th Central Time USA
Official Build version is: BLA-A09 9.0.0.201 C567E6R1P11
I did a Factory Reset after the install, which always should be done when a major firmware update occurs. Phone seems to be running fine so far.
Will let it run after a full charge for next 24 hours or so to let the system smooth out and such.
BTW - the option IS AVAILABLE TO REVERT BACK TO THE OLD EMUI 8 IF DESIRED.
I'll believe it when I receive it. Customer support hasn't been reliable at all for me.
That said, I hope it's true this time.
Well, Huawei has been piss poor about updates for this device so I'd take that with a grain of salt and won't be holding my breath waiting for any updates or support from Huawei.
Lol a full month after the rest
.....
Naaa. They won't give us everything
Wish I could rebrand my phone to EU firmware without going through funky.

Wow, surprising to see an update on Firmware Finder. I thought it stopped working for the US model after not seeing any updates for over half a year.
Downloading this file now.....
I'm running a stock mate 10 pro, and just started downloading the two files. Can't I just flash my device after the downloads are complete? Will there be any complications? If I can't then oh well, I'll just end up deleting the files and wait till I get the notification to download ota.
US variant recently got the December security patch. Security updates have been there, but feature updates have been lacking. I got the last update a couple of days after finding out about it, but the combined October and November Patch took a month to reach my device. Pleasant surprise to see that the EMUI 9 OTA will likely be rolling out soon-ish.
Pie

Unless it is authorized it won't install anyway, besides the fact that the US model only does online updates, you can't download and install anything with this device
I checked firmware finder and the pie uptade for the US Mate 10 Pro is there but when I check firmware the application says "the firmware is not approved for installation".
What exactly does that mean?
Can I force the Pie update through the app?
Anyone install this on their US Mate 10 Pro?
Anyway guys i jumped the gun and did the update via firmware finder here is proof we finally have pie !!! .I can tell you the system update improved performance things are really snappy and really liking the pie theme layout enjoy ! Its probably only a matter of time till it hits the update ota servers but I was to greedy to wait and had to do it .
Do you have any directions on how to do it?
It still says EMUI 8.0, I thought we were getting the full EMUI 9.0?

Maybe the version on Firmware finder isn't the final version? The international L29 Mate 10 Pro says EMUI 9 not 8.

That's not even the same build number that is on firmware finder (BLA-A09C567E6R1P11R201), nor is it EMUI 9 like the build on firmware finder. EMUI 8 is Oreo, EMUI 9 is Pie. EMUI is not just a "skin" as you put it. If in fact you installed something it sure wasn't what you think it is. Since you must have unlocked your phone and installed a custom recovery you pretty much could have installed anything (stock recovery won't allow you to install non authorized firmware).

It means exactly what it says, the firmware is not approved. Firmware that is not "approved" can't be installed as the stock recovery checks the approval, you can't force it using the firmware finder app. The only way you can install non approved firmware is to install a custom recovery that does not check.
How long you think till the update is approved? I just don't see the point of listing it if it's not approved yet.

From what I heard from Huawei customer support the rollout for the US model would start sometime in February, so I don't see that firmware on FF being approved any time before that. Also, based on the really piss poor record Huawei has on keeping their word on things I wouldn't bet on them keeping that date, so don't hold your breath waiting.
BLA-A09 updates will be completed by the second half of February.
I didn't feel comfortable with Firmware Finder app since the update wasn't an "OFFICIAL" update.
I was told that it depends on the Serial Number, the Model and the Region of each device.
Here's a conversation I just had today with a Huawei Agent:
Welcome to Huawei
Lisandro M.Support Agent
Good
Lisandro M. Hi there! Thank you for reaching Huawei Device USA, how can I help?
Nibiru2012 - I was told that the Android Pie update for my Huawei Mate 10 Pro BLA-A09 would be available around Jan 15th. I keep checking but nothing shows up in the Update section of Settings.
Lisandro M. Hello. My name is Lisandro. Receive a warm welcome to our live chat! ??
I understand that updates are really important for you and I will do my best to provide the assistance that you need.
The updates will be completed by the second half of February.
This on the Serial Number, the Model and the Region of each device.
That would be the reason why it is not with you yet.
Nibiru2012 - So you're saying by the end of February or before?
Lisandro M. Since your device is indeed scheduled to be updated, is just a matter to wait and keep on verifying the updates on the notifications or using HiSuite.
They will be done, before the second half.
Nibiru2012 - Okay... LOL! I will try to be patient then.
Lisandro M. I am also concerned about getting the very best for my phone too so I understand how you are feeling entirely.
Nibiru2012 - So around Feb. 16th or so? At the latest?
Lisandro M. Around that time, yes.
Let me invite you to use our HiCare app. On the forums you can have access to cool exploits for your device.
Since you are here, I will be more than glad to help you myself. HiCare is a Customer Service Center on the Go!!
Also, you can send this chat to your email clicking on the "envelope" icon. ?
Nibiru2012 - Thank you very much! Have a good day. I already have the HiCare app plus the HiSuite for my PC
Lisandro M. Finally, in order for us to improve the Huawei experience as a consumer and valued customer,
I would like to invite you to participate in 2 brief surveys. The first one is a two-question survey to evaluate my service and will appear after closing this chat. The second one will be received through the HiCare app in your device, which is meant to evaluate your experience with our brand.
Your satisfaction is our greatest motivation. ??
Before we end this chat, please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you?
Nibiru2012 - All is good - Thank You! Please send copy to my email.
Lisandro M. Once again this is Lisandro from the Huawei Live Chat Support.
Have a wonderful day!

Heya. I read and seen on several sites that the A10e was going to get the One UI 2 update in May of 2020. It's June and I still haven't even gotten the security patch due for May, let alone a Android 10 update. This is on the Metro by T-Mobile variant SM-A102U
Update: I found that the A102USQU6BTE4 baseband of the A102U has gotten the android 10 update, but the ATE5 versions got a security patch instead. Will the ATE5 versions get the update eventually, or can I take the BTE4 version and flash it to the phone through Odin? (I'm assuming that'd obviously be a know). Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place.
