Hey everyone!
I purchased a mate 20 pro in October, and it's been great to use so far. My issue is that I'm still on EMUI 9.0.0.215, which is the March security update I think. How can I get EMUI 10 if I'm not even on EMUI 9.1? I've tried using VPNs and changing the region in the Hicare app, all to no avail. Is there any way for me to get updates? My model number is LYA L29, my network is Google Fi, and I'm in the US.
Thanks for your help!
ps this is my first post, I hope this is the right forum to post this in.
it is the right forum. Im in the US as well. If I remeber correctly, I updated mine using DL method to 9.1. What is your region code? I'm currently running EMUI 10 on my device

How to update this phone to EMUI 10 in USA
I have the same issue as aazhengg. I am on the same EMUI 9.0.0.215 build in USA. How do we update to EMUI 10.
Also another question: does Android Auto work fine for anybody on this phone?

My current build version is C605E10R1P16. I checked and the region code C605 seems to be for Colombia? Is there any way to change the code without rooting? What is the DL method you are referring to? Thanks for the help.

Hi, everyone,
i bought the Huawei Honor 9 chinese version (STF-AL00), is it possible to change the chinese version by the european version (STF-L09) through only FirmwareFinder (FF) Software ?
I'm asking that, because i saw a tutorial from someone, where he changed the chinese to european ROM just using the FF software. Basically, in FF, after the proxy configurations, when you search for a model to update, you change the model name for an european model (STF-L09...) and, after that, when you go to update option from device and ask for updates, the newest ROM (STF-L09...) will be available, so just confirm to install and reboot.
The procedure above really works ? I'm asking that because this procedure was done in other Huawei device, and not Honor 9.
I'm not with the device yet, not arrived from China.
I want to do so. Some Phonefixer on Taobao said they can do that but it is a little expensive（for me and other Chinese）.It costs 190 yuan to do that.

Just follow the link above and it should work.

Could that possibly brick your device? Seeing as the Chinese version of the Honor 9 and the EU version use slightly different hardware?

Is the china version has NFC and infrared ?
Hi everyone,
I just bought a Honor 9 STF-AL00, build: STF-AL00C00B201.
As it is the chinese version, can anyone tell me the difference between it and the european version? Is it only software?
I would like to know if I can stay with the chinese version r if it is necessary to install the european firmware, because i read that some users bricked their phones when rebranding from chinese to european.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, i'm on STF-AL00 rebranded to STF-L09C432.

Can you ota update your C00 or you need a chinese simcard or chinese wifi to do so?

Hi! thanx!
I've been notified of an update to STF-AL00 8.0.0.336 (C00) few days ago. I did not update yet because I was not sure if it would be possible to rebrand it after that.
I've also installed GMS yesterday from a chinese site. I did not log in my gmail account yet.
Which choice is better: rebrand or stay under the chinese version?
Rebranding from chinese to european ;
HUAWEI THEME STORE
Pros:
-access to chinese region huawei themes and wallpaper database. There is a lot more of themes in chinese store than on 'balance' europeean store. But on chinese store, some of these extra themes are sold.
Cons:
-may need a chinese huawei account which need a chinese +86 phone number to validate and use a chinese huawei account.

Hi, I have a Mediapad M5 10.8(CMR-W09) And I'm unable to update it. I'm still on Android 8.0.0 and Emui 8.0.0 also, when I look for an update from the settings It say there isn't one and HiCare doesnt help either. I dont know if i can upgrade It from a external file or am missing something ( I am from Venezuela so I dont know if there is some kind of regional restriccions I am not aware of). In any case thanks for the help

the same, It say " you are using the last oficial upgrade CMR 8.0.0.198 (C567) "
A lot of us with that model are waiting for the Pie update which may never come due to the conflict between the U.S. and Huawei.

And there is no other way to download the update? besides automatically from Huawei
I am using the Chinese model in the U.S. I have the option to download the trial version of ColorOS 7, but it asks me to create an OPPO Account and get a verification SMS from a Chinese number, which I don't have.
Is there any other way to get the trial version? Will I be able to get the regular version by OTA, even though I'm in the U.S? If not, then I'm going to regret getting the Chinese version and probably sell it. :crying:
Thanks!

Would it not be easier to wait for the official release? The trial is very much in Alpha status and has too many bugs

Is the official release not out for anyone? I thought Oppo said we would get it in November (or was that the trial?)

Not sure how it's working. I have CPH1919 and am still with ColorOS 6.0 with December security update. So...technically an official update has happened.
Not heard of anyone having ColorOS 7 pushed officially yet.
Too many rumours going around regarding official releases. I'm just going to wait and not cry
Hello, I've never owned a Huawei device. If I get the mate 20 pro which model should I get? Which one has the latest Android 10 update and is more often updated? and does it support bootloader unlocking?
Thanks in advance

You won't be able to unlock bootloader as Huawei have stopped selling/making codes available.
IMO all devices get the updates, I believe all variants should have received android 10.
