Hi,
I just purchased a brand new Honor 20 pro model YAL-L41 in France.
I searched for updates and it did update to the December 2019 Android 9.1.
I searched for updates again, and now it says that my system is up to date.
I don't get this. My daughter, also located in France, has had the same phone for over six months and received the ota update to magic 3 / Android 10 two or three months ago.
How come I don't get this update now with a new device?
How can I update my Honor 20 pro to Magic 3 / Android 10?

I know it doesn't answer your question, but my device just updated to 3.0.0 on May 21th.
I'm disappointed, as the update removed the zoom lens on low light or night time. Watch out. I wish I didn't update.
There is a way.

Hi!
I was stuck on the same problem, but found a way around it on some site (don't remember which). So the global one is apparently only up to 9.1. The Chinese one, however, is receiving updates. So although you might not get updates automatically, you can still manually update using this app. ("This app" was supposed to point to a link to an app, but apparently I'm a "new user" so I can't post links yet. It's called "Firmware Finder for Huawei" and its on the Play Store. ). It does not require root or anything, just follow the in-app instructions. I find that the router method is easier and doesn't pose any problems. It just requires access to the router's settings. This app is linked directly to Huawei and Honor's official repository. When I used it, I did not experience any data loss, but as usual back up your stuff. Just be sure to read all the instructions.
Good luck!

I have the honor 7 64gb (PLK-AL10C00B190) and am in the UK. I had the phone shipped from China a while ago and have been trying to get the marshmallow update for my device. There is currently not OTA available for my device and I have contacted honor who have confirmed that the OTA is not available. I have tried all of the manual updates I can find from both honors website and the XDA forums but have found none that work for this build number (B190). If anyone knows how I can update this device to marshmallow (ideally without wiping my phone) I'd appreciate it as I've been trying for months with no success.
Cheers.
I have a Mate 10 (regular, not Pro) ALP-L29 with 8.0.0.134(noxloader C636) -> April security patch + face unlock.
I saw today on FF that 138 (our version of the pro's 145 update with night shot) is approved for my model, however, the 136 is also approved for my model but not installed? I am still on 134 with no extra OTA for almost 2 months now??
So is there something wrong? I live in greece and my phone has C636 region.. any answers welcome I am trying to make sense if I will get this 138 update with OTA even if i wait or no..

Maybe it's because of the noxloader?

Well I don't know.. that's why I asked honestly. I just got this phone a month ago and I still don't get how the region thing works (I haven't bothered with OTAs before, I always rooted and flashed AOSP on my other phones so far).. So I'm looking for some enlightenment here..
Again just to make clear, this is the regular Mate 10, purchased in Canada, C636 region, currently in Greece for the past 3 months, and no update to may or june security patches these 3 months...
Yep have same issue, stuck on .134noxloader from Funky Huawei. Cannot receive OTA.
I have sent multiple emails and they ignore. They have even removed .134 from list of firmware for Mate 10, so obviously something wrong with it.
I paid premium service and was assured I'd get OTA updates...

Are you unlocked now?
You could just update using TWRP + HuRUpdater or HWOTA.
Hi, I have an M5 8.4 C636 which is Asia Pacific region and haven't had any updates since June. I'm running on version 153 but according to HFF app there are 2 new software versions (169 & 180) but they haven't come through on OTA and are not approved for installation (per HFF app) although they are correct for C636 regon
My bootloader is locked and I'm not rooted but I was going to unlock the bootloader and selected 'unlock bootloader' in developer options some time ago then decided not to unlock it. Think this has stopped the OTA updates.
Does anyone have any suggestions about manual update when none of the available software versions are approved for installation?
Thanks in advance

In the past they have been - but more recently, the speed has been OK. You just have to temper your expectations a bit.
Motorola used to have a reputation for fast updates, but when I last had a Motorola device, they were really slow at updates.
Huawei have committed to Android Enterprise, which delivers at least 1 major OS update (Android 9), and Google security patches for 3 years within 90 days of release by Google.
As we are on July 2018 patch, they have 30 days to deliver either Android 9 or Android 8 with a newer security update newer than July 2018, otherwise they fail at their enterprise commitment and leave themselves legally open to breaking contractual obligations (and potentially customer returns)
I'm on the August security patch for maybe the past two weeks so I'm hopeful that this will get updated regularly.
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

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.

Alright, I got it to work with a Chinese SIM card. Thanks for all the help.
Hello. I'm stuck with Android 9 on my Huawei Mate 20 Pro LYA-L29 (C636 AUS model) . Please advice a working way to upgrade to EMUI 12 (Android 11) on C432 EU variant if possible. Thanks in advance.
I tried at least 6 or 7 solutions before I tried this. The fastest and only way I could figure out how to upgrade Mate 20 Pro is to buy a Chinese Sim card on Amazon for like $8. I had been trying for months to receive 1 upgrade...nothing. I tried so many things, rooting, VPN, it was a nightmare because nothing worked. Stuck in the sim card and got like 50 updates. Just buy it and save yourself the hassle.
