I have flashed many phones and had no problems but this is causing me so much grief and Funky Huawei don't seem much help replying to my pm's..
I purchased a sim free Uk Mate 10 pro from CPW it was running fw 115 (c782)
Wanted to update to the latest 127a fw, so purchased credits and flashed away.
I think where I went wrong was using the unbrand tool, I picked option 7 other = typed BLA-L09 and option 2 again = hw/eu
After then flashed the 127a fw.
All flashed well but it made my phone into a dual sim which I didn't want due to warranty issues, been buying credits like a crazy man trying to get this phone back to a single sim BLA-L09 but it just won't have it, I get weird fw and region codes installed??
I have spent a small fortune now and not very happy, any help would be great and a refund on some of the credits wasted.
To be honest I would avoid this service, keep your money and wait for Huawei to release ota updates.

So, you purchased a BLA-L09 (c782) and you wanted only to update to latest firmware version?If that's correct, then why did you used FHRebrand Tool, instead of just flashing the latest firmware for your device?
FunkyHuawei support was always available when i needed,so maybe you should wait for the Christmas holidays to end.
Next time be patient, nobody forced you to use FH services, so i don't understand why you blame them for your issue.
Merry Christmas! ?
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

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,
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've had my Pixel 6 for less than a month, bought it in Canada and updated in November to SD1A.210817.037, then rooted with Magisk. All is fine.
Now, I'm in Mexico with it, on Telcel, and the December updates have come out, but I have no idea which one to flash. Does anyone know?
The options are:
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A1, Dec 2021)
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A4, Dec 2021, EMEA carriers) *** I'm pretty confident it's not this one***
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.017, Dec 2021, US carriers)
I'm thinking that it's the first option, but I'm not sure...
12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.017, Dec 2021, US carriers) <--- I used this since T-Mobile is a US carrier
Probably for you, your best option is to flash the first option
I'm asking myself the same question. I've a Canadian model too. Once I bought it I flashed "12.0.0 (SD1A.210817.019.C2, Oct 2021, T-Mobile (US), USCC, Google Fi, CA, & TW carriers)" with magisk. I didn't even update to the November one because I wasn't sure, but I would like to do this one and see if that solve some bugs that I have. I just would like to be sure about the first option (which would make sence).

Thank you friend
sorry y'all. Im in California, bought my P6P unlocked from Google directly. Should I use the 1st one (or the US carrier one (3rd)?
Thanks very much!
I think I'm gona wait a little bit more before updating. On another post many said that they lost root and magisk doesn't seem to work on the new update at the current state.

Sure, it's a post that explain how to update without losing root.
Method to upgrade every month, without wiping data and retaining root
Caution: I originally wrote this guide when it was necessary to disable verity and verification before flashing patched boot.img. Now Magisk has overcome this requirement and some users have reportedly flashed updates without disabling...
forum.xda-developers.com
But most recent posts says they wont keep root after the update. Saw the same reports on a Telegram and a discord server.
I'm wondering the same thing as well. I'm running Mint Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO) on an Unlocked P6P in the US. I assume the US Carriers is the one I need to flash but I'm not positive.
I'm getting corrupted data and stuck on google screen can anyone assist?
Does anyone know what is the difference between 12.0.0 (SQ1D.211205.016.A4, Dec 2021, EMEA carriers)
and the A1 version ?
I have a Pixel 6 bought from the German Google Store and it received the December update, but it automatically installed the A1 version, which the support page says is for Canada.
I have not put a SIM in it yet, but it is in Europe.
Why did it not update to the A4 (EMEA Carriers) version ?, which is supposed to be for UK, IE, FR, DE.
And which EMEA carriers are we talking about, only from these countries: UK, IE, FR, DE, or also other from Europe ?
I wonder if I can install the A4 full OTA package over the A1 version ?

Check the support page again -- it's been updated and now says the 016.A1 version is the global unlocked version. I was told something similar by a Google chat rep through the in-phone support function.
You're on the right build.
I'm in the US. Google is telling me I can be either on SQ1D.211205.016.A1 or SQ1D.211205.017. Doesn't seem like a reliable answer. I have an unlocked P6P and I'm on Verizon. Did anyone get a clear answer?
This is nuts.
Why would Google not have one image that adapts to the carrier in-play? After all, folk can change carriers/regions during the life of their phone. What happens then? The phone doesn't work properly until it somehow figures out it needs a different image and then somehow flips to it?
What about if you temporarily travel to a different region and roam onto a different operator? Is your phone not 'right for that region' and doesn't work properly?
So do these different images relate to different hardware variances of the phone?

I don't think anyone knows at this point. There are some major issues with network connectivity some are blaming on the December update and some are saying ongoing from previous builds. I'm in the latter group. They will have to come out with a new update sooner rather than later since this is widespread across the globe.

Magisk is running perfect on the december update. And no problems with 4G ,, I did a clean install on de December update.
Used the A1 version and no problems at all.

Hmm, looks interesting. i have a spare Nexus device, so i can easily try it.
ok i've successfully updated SQ1D.211205.016.A4 (EMEA) over SQ1D.211205.016.A1 (global) using full ota. Storeage remains intact. Sim works (Spusu / Austria / Sub carrier using Hutchison Drei Austria).
But upgrading to SQ1D.211205.017 failed with "Build newer than timestamp 1638904347 but package has timestamp 1638280743 and downgrade not allowed". The same if you try to revert back to .A1 Image, so you have to unlock the bootloader and reflash the stock image. Of Course, all data will be lost.

Yeah, I did it yesterday too. i was waiting for a Magisk-Alpha update before, which we got yesterday. I need this one specially for Denylist to work without zygisk.
