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 :/
I got, to days ago, the B161 (Android 9 + Emui 9) stable version on my Mate 10 Pro BLA-L29 (nordic european).
I'm using two sim, the first one is an italian sim from a virtual operator, the second one is a Vodafone (business) sim.
After a while, i have received a new specific update for the operator I use in the second slot (Vodafone). The update installed itself!
Now, I have the BLA-L29 9.0.0.161 (C432E4R1P11) Emui 9 with a custom version named VDF.IT 9.0.0.6 (LT.F01).
I have never seen an operator custom version installed on a no brand version.
How can I remove this custom version without doing a factory reset?
Thanks to all want help me

I'm sure a factory reset won't sort it, AFAIK you are stuck with it, unless you are bootloader unlocked, it fancy the FH route.
NolanBart, any succes with debranding?

Did you find solution?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/how-to-carrier-custom-version-update-t3929370
I want to refuse offer to install Custom Version on P20 Pro.
Problem on Huawei P30 Pro [carrier custom patch]
How can we remove such custom patches (carrier custom patches) without rooting?
(I got an update while I was traveling in Singapore. But now I don't need that. EMUI 10 update also contains update for carrier custom patch... I need to remove it before upgrading to EMUI 10)
Can you downgrade (roll back) in hisuite?
Tried my luck on a factory reset and it did remove the carrier config for Starhub SG which automatically installed when I inserted a Starhub SIM. Now I can join beta programs again ?
What carrier config? I use Starhub SIM as well but nothing was installed except APN.
Hi Everyone,
I've recently bought a Oppo Reno 3 Pro 5G dual SIM from China and I would like to unlock the bootloader to flash an oversea version firmware (with GMS framework). I have enabled the Developer option and OEM Unlocking function and I am having difficulty to get into Fastboot mode. With the phone powered off, I press the volume down button + power button and it only boots into recovery mode. Can someone please point me to the right direction? I also need some help of finding the right firmware for this model and flashing tool. I found this firmware Oppo_Reno 3_Pro_5G_PCRM00_11_A.02_191215.ofp online and not sure if that would be the right one.
Thanks,
Joe

to enter fastboot mode you have to push volume button up and power, not volume down on this phone or you enter in adb shell on your PC the command "adb reboot fastboot"
BUT: I think, there are a lot of hints still not known by us users to unlock this oppo phone. We might like on Xiaomi phones need an oppo Account to unlock.
I myself didn't try to unlock yet. Does only make sense when a working TWRP is out
There was a note in the OPPO RENO forum about getting and running a file from OPPO, after 60 days.
For me the Chinese version is not good anymore, now I can't install any new app on this phone because it says that I have to log in to a heytap account. But if I want to log in, I have to give my Chinese phone number.. I don't have Chinese phone number of course. Any solutions to this problem?
Now the find x2 neo (cph2009eu) released as the global version, and I want to install it's software because it's 100% the same hardware if I know it well. But I can't. I have the firmware for it from the internet, but in a .ofp file, I can't flash it
Okay, now I found a method to install apps without signing in with a chinese number, so the global software is not urgent anymore, but it would be good anyway.
I tried to install the global software via qfil, but it gives sahara error. After a quick search I found that we have to unlock the phone's bootloader to flash the global rom.
But the chinese version that I have does not have fastboot mode, so maybe we have to wait until Oppo will unlock the phone's bootloader officially (probably we have to wait until the next Android/ColorOS beta)
I have bought this EU Version, but funny thing here: they disabled 5G. Mine has 765G, 12GB RAM, dual SIM but neither specified nor selectable 5G
Hi all,
I also own the Chinese version of this phone (PCRM00)
Looking to unlock the bootloader, install EU version of the ROM and also root..
Any help?
Thanks!
Hi,
the Oppo registration ist now available with a none-chinese mobile number. Seems they splittet the HeyTap and Oppo services so you can use an least the Oppo services.
Here is the software update of the global version
https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Find+X2+Neo
It gives an error, so suddenly we cant install it simply from the original recovery
My variant is just the 128/8gb version, and maybe this also could be a problem, becouse the global phone has only 256/12 variant. So maybe with a 256/12 varint its woth a try

I have 12/256 EU Version (seems to sell in Poland), dual-SIM, 4G only (although SD765G).
Current Firmware reads CHP2009_11_A.08, March security update.
Is this a valid update or will it possibly bring 5G?

If you have the single-camerahole, 765G version, and the phone is CHP2009, this update maybe woth a try. The problem could be that Oppo dont allow to change the firmware in the official recovery, only update is possible, so if I try to install the global (CHP2009EU) on my PCRM00 (chinese) variant, it fails and dont install anything. And we dont have custom recoverys yet, and the chinese version dont even have fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader, so it seems impossible for me to install the global until Oppo dont unlock our phones bootloaders officially (for example for a beta upadate)
But if you already have CHP2009 software, maybe the update that I linked worth a try. If the recovery allows it..
If I know it well, the CHP2009EU (Oppo find X2 neo) have 5g modem, just like the chinese variant that I have (Theyre the same phone, but the software is different. I want the global software instead of the chinese becouse of Netflix HDR and Google assistant)
It is the single camera hole but 5G disabled- See Spec
I'd show you, but I cannot share screenshots here.
Would it reject update if it was not functional version or would I brick the device, if I flashed incorrect version?
The difference I see ist that X2 neo has single SIM and Reno3 pro has dual. I know from other brands, that this can brick the phone.

There's always a theoretical chance to brick your device when you modify the software, it's your responsibility. But I think there's more chance that the original recovery that we have won't allow you to update your software to the X2 neo's software. If you want 5g, you can try the Chinese variant's software, but I think the recovery won't allow the other softwares to install

I have it now for three weeks, no need for 5G, so better have a working than bricked phone currently.
Probably I'd play around in one year, when tools are more stable.
In fact I considered to search for an update on Polish Oppo site and found an update file for my Reno3 Pro, that was exactly the same as from your link and X2 neo.
So I did the update via Recovery, it ran through and landed with version .28.
It did not change anything on supported bands.
I remember from Sony phones, that bands are defined in NVRAM.
It seems that for all Reno3/X2 variants with 765G the firmware is the same, it is distinguished only by supported bands.

Can you send the link from this update? So we can install this on PCRM00 via recovery?

I just updated from Polish site to latest version:
https://oppo-pl.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Reno3+Pro
Now I am on June 5th security level.
The former file from UK site is exactly the same:
https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Find+X2+Neo
Just tried the polish version on the chinese variant of the phone and it gave me an error.

I also tried it, dont work :/
I don't know if it's really helpful but i think I've read somewhere on the official website that 5g isn't unlocked yet and would be thru future updates.
I live in the Netherlands and my Reno pro 5g should arrive today.
I'm kind of lost by all the different variants though..
The find x neo is also for sale over here and it seems the same service expert a minor different front cam.
But here in the Netherlands they are both for sale but the neo is much more expensive.
Anyway, I'm excited as this will be my first Oppo.

Did you flash the dual sim firmware onto you single sim phone in the end? If so, what works and what doesn't work? I'm in a similar situation, but the reason why I'm asking is because I want to get VoLTE working in a specific country. The variant of the phone that is sold in that country is the FD variant whereas mine is the F variant - which was purchased in a different country.
