Chinese model used in Ireland - Samsung Galaxy A50s Questions & Answers

Hi,
So I have the SM A5070 varient and I use it in Ireland. That model is from Hong-Kong and or China.
My question is, will I still get the correct update to Android 10 when it comes to China or to Ireland, or indeed not at all?
TIA

OTA UPDATE Question

I have a European (C432) regular Mate 10 that I bought in Spain. I live in Ireland and have an Irish SIM card in it. Will I get OTA updates when they come out. I ask this question because a had a Mate 9 that came from Southeast Asia and I would only get OTA updates if I put a New Zealand sim card in it.
Has anyone from Europe bought the C432 version of the Mate 10 that was not available in their European country and got an OTA update? I am still on ALP-L09 8.0.0.115(C432)
Thanks for any help on this matter
I hope so, because Vodafone UK are giving out BLA-L09 C432 handsets. So sure.
Just a side question. Does the C432 version have Volte and wifi calling? Thanks!
Yes but that is different. If you live in the UK and buy the phone in the UK then you will definitely get updates. I bought the phone in Spain but live in Ireland with an Irish SIM
I am not 100% certain, but I think they only check the SIM card region with CUST number (C432 means Europe and C636 means Asia Pacific). I was able to update my Mate 9 Pro (C636) purchased from Singapore with a Hong Kong SIM card. Lastly, even if you never "receive" updates, Huawei will authenticate update packages on their server eventually, and you can just use Firmware Finder (a free app available at Play Store) to update. This is how I updated my Mate 9 Pro after I lost my old inactive Hong Kong SIM card.
Thanks for that. I downloaded it but cant find c432 anywhere on it.
Im using Mate 10 purchased in Singapore and using in Middle East sim, and i received the rom update the same time folks in Singapore received the update.
I'm also looking to buy a regular mate 10 for use in the UK but not sure where to buy from our which model/firmware I need to cover future use and updates. Any chance you can enlighten me? Don't want to buy and end up with features or updates that don't work.
I'm on build 115-C432 and still no OTA for me in France...Boring...
Same here Bulgaria :/

Mate10 pro after rebrand from BLA-L29 to BLA-AL00 didn't support China telecom

Orignially version is BLA-L29 i rebrand to Chinese version BLA-AL00, after that can not use China telecom make call.
other feature no problem also can upgrade. only not support China telecom.
I have no idea, but as far as I know the hardware specification is different, at least the LTE bands. I have no idea about the CDMA part. However, I think it may be a bad idea to rebrand the device to another variant.
Maybe you should try to rebrand to TL version of software, as I know there is two version in china AL-00 and TL-00, TL is for use on Telecom. Maybe this solves your problem.
me too , have you solve this problem?

I believe this to be the case too.
When I asked a Chinese vendor prior to purchasing my 'phone what the differences were between AL00 and TL00, his answer was "AL00 = China Unicom, TL00 = China Mobile & China Telecom."

Does BLA-L29 with original system support China telecom, all 2G/3G/LTE?
The BLA-L29 rebranding to China version OS doesn't support China telecom for sure.

Questions about flashing firmware on mate 10 pro

Hi all,
I’ve been reading the forums here for a little while, gathering as much info as I could.
I thought I would collate as much information here as possible, so that its all in one place.
I would personally like to flash an international stock firmware to the Chinese Mate 10 pro or BLA-AL00 . From what I’ve read, I will need to install TWRP. I'm using a MacBook Pro, so i'm guessing ill need to also install the Android Debug Bridge.
Here are the details I've found so far.
BLA = Mate 10 Pro
ALP = Mate 10
LON = Mate 9 Pro
L09 = Single sim
L29 = Dual sim

Why Re-brand a phone
People may re-brand their phone as they way wish to try a different firmware, also some regions update their firmware quicker than others.
For rebranding Chinese AL00 you can see these threads.
AL00 Thread 01
AL00 Thread 02
AL00 Thread 03
AL00 Thread 04
Issue experienced with BLA-AL00
No location history in Google Maps
(more to be added)
Bootloader
For unlocking the boot loader one must contact Huawei to get the boot-loader unlock code.
Rebranding
Option 1
Go through FunkyHuawei, this will cost a minimum, of $51 per phone, you are expected to do this your self, and if you screw up your going to have to pay more cash out.
PROS's
Need more inforamtion
CON's
This can change your bootloader unlock code.
Possibility of still screwing the process up and having to pay more cash.
Need more information
I will keep updating this as and when I gather more information.

Hi all,
I moved this post to here after deciding i would buy the mate 10 pro instead of the p20 pro.
I,ve been reading the forums here for a little while, gathering as much info as incould.
I’m currently living in China, where I plan to buy a couple of Mate 10 pro’s, one for me and the other for the wife. The phones in China are locked down, with no google play, and installed with a whole bunch of local apps.
I would like to flash an international stock firmware to the phones. From what I’ve read, i will need to install TWRP. Im using a MacBook Pro, so im guessing ill need to also install the Android Debug Bridge.
Here are the details i’ve found so far regarding the firmware versions.
L09 = Single sim
L29 = Dual sim
B??? = Firmware version
Can anyone provide details on the C code?
Im pretty sure the Chinese phones i’m getting are dual sim, so L29.

For unlocking the boot loader I can get the codes from Huawei, which will allow me to install TWRP. Is this the correct route to go to apply the European firmware? Do I need to rebrand the phone, or can I just apply the firmware using this method?
Any help gratefully appreciated.

Personally I have no experience with rebranding but I do know that currently there is a lot going on with bricking this device. I refer to the post https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/discussion-hard-brick-infos-t3789044

Thanks for the advice!
Thanks for the advice guys, i’ve read through the issues others are having and it seems better to wait rather than risk bricking the phones.
I just cant justify paying an extra $65 to a company to do this work for me, kinda feels like they have a monopoly on the market. I think I’ll wait and see what the opensource community can do, I would rather donate to them instead. Kinda fits more with my way of thinking.
Also a big thank you to Coredown, who took the time to PM me a whole bunch of info.

Hi from Ireland with a small question

Hi all, i live in Ireland and I have a S9+ SM G965F . I'm on the Vodafone network that has a csc VDI. The phone was bought from the UK and was a branded vodafone UK VOD . When I put my VDI sim in it automatically changed to VDI/VDI/VOD.
I JUST ordered a S9+ DUOS off eglobal and the phone is coming from Hong Kong, it's new unlocked and sim free and model is SM G965FD. At this point I will have no idea what csc will be on it. Will i have problems changing it to VDI? Or am I screwed as i need wifi calling.

There are quite a few posts in this forum involving changing CSC but there's not many who have successfully done it. Your best option may be a Combination ROM. Good luck!

Different model versions

I am looking for a Honor 20 Pro version that fully supports all bands used in Europe, particularly in Switzerland.
According to www.frequencycheck.com, I need the model YAL-L41 to support all 3 LTE-bands used here.
The local online-shops use model number 51093VET.
Whats the difference/relation between the different model-numbers, p.ex. YAL-L41 und 51093VET?
How to be shure that I get the correct device that supports all locally used LTE bands?
Additional infos:

Sorry for the late response
This Version is the same Europe 51093VEX, YAL-L41.
so the right one for EU and Switzerland
https://www.mobiledevice.ch/de/mobiltelefone/3499-huawei-honor-20-pro-dual-sim-256gb-blue-eu-6901443301478.html
Another Version is for China YAL-AL10 without LTE Band 20 and Band 7
