Firmware updates? - Honor 20 Pro Questions & Answers

I here have a Honor 20 pro (YAL-L41) in Europe.
The build is 11.0.0.176(C431E4R5P4 with Magic 4.0.0 and security patch level fom september 1, 2021.
Will there be any more updates coming from Huawei/Honor?
I read that the HarmonyOS should be available by now for this device, but maybe only in China.
Any ideas how to keep this device up to day with a current Android version? Any third-party firmware maybe?
But as far as I remember, this would need a bootloader code which Huawei no longer provides.
Thanks for your input.

same here, it's been discontinuted update since September! what a joke, i thought they announced honor 20 will get EMUI 12

I read somewhere that Honor phones will get emui 12 in June.

Anyway to get the update if not in Russia?

I don't know. Maybe change region, maybe hisuite proxy?

can confirm changing region doesn't work. firmware finder doesn't have any Magic UI 5 version, latest ones are Magic UI 4 /EMUI 11 from 2021

[A510F][Official Update] Galaxy A5(2016) A510FXXU2APC4

Hey guys! Just recently on the 18th of June, I recieved an update available notification with some sketchy discription, which is clearly written by someone with average to little knowledge in english. I know Samsung is Korean, but this is some official stuff which demands formal usage of language. See for yourself.
Has anyone of you installed it? What are the differences? What is this security flaw that demands immediate upgrade?
Current Version: A510FXXU1AOL9
Pending Update: A510FXXU2APC4

Anyone with some news?
That's probably just an update to the Android Security Patch Level
EDIT:
Scratch that, I noticed that the update is over 200MB so it can't be just a security patch... So I went to Sammobile and Android 6.0 started rolling out in Russia.
Build number is different to the one reported but it might be because it's a different region.
I also checked the pending A510FXXU2APC4 update, and it's 5.1.1 based, same as my current version.
I have always been a fan of 'leave it as it is if it's working' point of view. So they are stating there will be performance enhancements and all, but should we believe that? Yes, the conspiracy is strong with me, don't blame me on that.
Also, when the 6.0 update rolls out for my region, will we have the oportunity to directly upgrade to 6.0, surpassing this 'minor' 273MB update?

EMUI 10 Update now showing up, stuck on EMUI 9.1

Hi all,
I have a C636 BLA L29 running Android 9.1 (screenshot of settings menu below)
1) I saw the EMUI 10 update pop up come up about a year ago, however since then I left it powered off, but on recent days after powering it on and going into HiCare to change to China, Singapore, HK (where it was bought) and UK, the EMUI 10 update is still not appearing! There is a little red dot next to the update button on HiCare but when I click it it just shows latest update after a little spinny check.
2) I have tried using HiSuite on the computer to no avail either, unfortunately.
3) Tried using a Chinese sim card but also no results.
Any ideas about how to force the download? Many thanks!

Nice, my Nokia X10 still doesn't get the September security patch yet though. I think today is the day for the stable release of Android 12, and the Nokia X20 got the beta ver of A12 already, so expect a new software update soon

Help needed! Will I stop getting updates?

I just recently updated my Realme XT to it's latest version on the official Realme Site, which is (RMX1921EX_11.C.14) in hopes of getting Realme UI 2.0 android 11 since I read I had to have it to get it.
So, I went ahead to the official site and downloaded it since I didn't have it and my phone told my it was already up-to-date.
Now, everything's ok, same as usual. But I was wondering if by doing that, I ruined my chances at getting future official updates automatically.
By the way, now the "Software Update" section says I'm up-to-date but won't show me the version I'm on nor does it tell me my build number on the "about phone" section

}
EDIT:
I managed to see my exact software info. Could anyone take a look and tell me if it's ok? Or will I need to go back to its OG firmware. And in this case, I found versions with 11.C and 11.A what's the difference?
EDIT 2:
My phone OG had the same name as RMX1921EX_11.C.14 BUT WITHOUT THE EX. I live in Latin America, Venezuela, and over here we don't have an official provider. They are all imported.
​My main question if I can still get official updates, that's all. ​

Question WSA w/ Android 12+: Replaceable by other GSI ROM ?

Ran LLD app ( its APK is attached ) what returned ( excerpt )
these WSA specs
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so it's proofed it's a GSI ROM.
For me now the million dollar question is: can it get replaced by a Pixel 7 related GSI ROM - I know it's available, released December 2022 - both as OTA and as Factory Image ? This would be a big upgrade because Google revealed the Pixel 7 during an event in October 2022, succeeding the Pixel 5 ( WSA actually is based on it ) what arrived in October 2020.
I think
In theory: YES
In practice: Probably NO,
What's your opinion ? Have a solution? Let us know, if. TY
Pls I'm I missing something: how do I possibly get rounded corners on apps when opening and switching? I've tried so many GSIs, and so far only lawnchair 12.1 has that feature as far as I know.
