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.

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! ?
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.
I am from Colombia and I have the following problem:
I currently have a HUAWEI MATE 10 pro with the ROM BLA-L09 (C521) EMUI 8 with security patch of September 2018.
So far I have not been able to do anything with the phone.
I would like to do DOWNGRADE with a patch before June, but I can't find the right firmware. I tried installing BLA-L09C_8.0.0.116 (C521CUSTC521D8) _Firmware_Android_8.0.0_EMUI_8.0.0_05014WBB but it does not let the process continue.
I tried to install several ROMs by UPDATE.APP and I couldn't do it either.
I would like someone to help me to be able to install a free ROM and receive updates.:llorando:
Sorry for my English, I use the translator
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!
Hi,
I bought 1 year ago the Media Pad M5 Pro unbranded from eBay.
I never received any update till now Still on Android 8.0.0 ( Build Nr CMR-AL19 8.0.0.199 (C431)
Huawei Support told me multiple times there is no update available for my device.
But I think they are wrong.
I think it just got the wrong Cust (C431 is made for "providers" but mine has no brand but this firmware)
C432 receives all the updates from Huawei.
So my question is how I can change my Cust from C431 to C432 or directly flash a C432 firmware?
I hope someone can help me in easy steps I think I am not the only one on the whole internet with this problem but in non-forum a solution.
Thanks

changing to c432 (which is the m5 wifi version, with Kirin 960s not Kirin 960) is quit risky - bootloop
but u could go for the testpoint method and flash treble gsi android 10, need to open bootloader
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/how-to/downgrade-unbrick-huawei-device-methods-t3915693
its a bit easier with HCU client and dc phoenix( u need the dc unlocker anyway -to unlock bootloader - unfortunatly no other way) but HCU is 20 bucks time license for 3 days
if you really want the the super easy way there is a guy doing it for 30 bucks but u need to give him access to your windows pc(i wouldnt do that) https://ministryofsolutions.com/paid-services
if u find an easier way pls tell me, i gave an cmr-w09 (m5 wifi) and its running super smooth on havoc os(custom android 10)
