It's not compatible for updating thru the app. Only older version of emui is supported. In older version of emui, you can update thru the app before official update is available via ota.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Luis2k33-XDA:

Indeed the only way to update before ota is bootloader unlocked and follow some guides here in xda about how to do

Received 110 update today. UK, unlocked, Vodafone sim inside.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] user4001:
Just checked mine after reading this, downloading now!

Unlocked, 3 network UK.

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

Ok so I've just installed .110. Don't think I've had an update like this before in my lifetime...

Phone has been trash-stamped now with 3 network splash screen, both on power-off and power-on.

7 bloat apps freshly installed -

Amazon

Ebay

Facebook

Prime Video

Three

Three Likes

Wuntu

Also when booting up it shows the Stock Launcher for a second before switching to default one set (Nova). Looks ridiculous.

Edit : After another reboot it went straight into Nova Launcher so no problem there.

110 available on O2 for me today. Not installed yet.

I have the 8.1.0 102 version, and i have network when power on or off
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] user4001:
Really? I only got that after updating. Not really a problem at all anyway to be fair. Did you buy a SIM-free phone? Mine was.

All bloat apps are uninstallable also so no real issues with this update.

I installed 110 today through the phone update manager. Firmware Finder is showing 110a though, is it an update?

Have you tried to contact Huawei support. Imform them of your IMEI number and ask them whether its in the database due for update.

That will ensure they check their systems and confirm all is ready to be pushed out

Updated to 110 C782 with EE yesterday, and the best bit is scrollable widgets now work!!!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] karam94:
Same issue here with a CLT-L29, still stuck on 8.1.0.102 (C782) in the UK bought from Three, using it with a Three SIM.

Huawei tell me there is an update ready and firmware finder says the same, but Huawei say I just have to be patient as they role it out in small random batches of different IMEI numbers...

Meanwhile others in here say Huawei told them Three are responsible for the updates...

Yet Three tell me Huawei are responsible for the updates and not them.

This is getting really frustrating. We have people on .120 with fixed touchscreen lagg meanwhile we're stuck here on stock .102 lol which even lacks the latest android security updates...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] walkerx:
Both Three and Huawei have told me that Three are responsible for the updates for phones on their network as they want to make sure it has no adverse affect. To me this is rubbish especially as the phone is dual sim so can work with any sim and they should not be able to dictate what firmware goes on a device. They don't do it for Apple so shouldn't be able to do it for Android.

I purchased a sim free Mate 10 Pro and that got rebranded to three and I hope they aren't ones for updating that device.

I was also told a few weeks back that a firmware was ready for my device but still waiting
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] karam94:
Same here. Agree with what you're saying completely.

My main worry is that about 5 years ago before switching back to an iPhone 6S Plus before going for the P20 Pro, is that I had a HTC One M7 that I had on contract from Three (My P20 Pro was bought outright).

I don't recall actually getting a software update from Three until a year after release. I was hoping this wouldn't be the case with the P20 Pro as well as I thought we had all moved away from carrier firmware updates of the past...

To make it worse, Firmware Finder doesn't work with the P20 Pro atm and it seems like FunkyHuawei is the only option, which costs money.

I understand that carriers may need to review firmware updates on contract, but if I buy the phone SIM free, I don't understand why Three have anything to do with the updates.

The worst part is, Three keep denying to me that they have anything to do with the update and I'm really worried that while others here are getting updates (e.g. EE who I could've left Three for and saved money but it would've been a contract + single SIM), Three will leave us out in the cold.

EDIT: Literally just posted this and gone to search for an update and I've now got .110! Check yours as our IMEI's could be in the same range being Three phones.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
The touch screen latency/lag is fixed. The camera now has night mode on the main screen. Apps that use maps like uber no longer have the "google services is updating " bug. Security patch is updated.

Aside from that, mine is faster, although the screen sometimes turns on really slowly so I will be factory resetting soon.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] potblack2win:
Any idea when the next update is coming to C782. The UK Single Sim version seems to be very slow to be getting updates and ive got a sim free version and still stuck on 110.

Huawei have really complicated things by having too many regions and should have stuck to HTC policy of having a WWE for all of europe
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] KevofCardiff:
Especially for those on 3UK though all are welcome to try it.. I received .110 on my 3UK issued dual-sim P20 Pro a few days ago by shutting down the phone, removing the SIM tray, restarting the phone and hitting the update button. I've not experienced any issues with it at all. Previous to this I'd been on .102 and my phone wouldn't update with the SIM inserted.

Good luck!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] walkerx:
110 is the latest for the C782 model

i'm waiting to see now what the next google phone will be like, hope they get rid of the huge chins on it, fix the bluetooth issues and make a decent watch to go with it, may just then switch back and get rid of my huawei devices
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] a500user2013:
Looks like we have to wait for .120 for the HDR update. Although, I can't see how the firmware update can make a difference, it must be something to do with the hardware IDs passed to Netflix/Amazon...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
I was L09 C782 and converted to dual sim L29 C782.

Huawei have told me C782 updates have to be released by carriers as they do checks themselves before release.

C432 which is the EU version gets massively more updates than the C782 UK version as they come straight from huawei.

My problem is before I changed to dual sim variant this was an O2 phone. The only network that does the model L29 C782 which I changed it to is three uk. So am i now gonna have to wait to gwt updates from three lol.

I done this using funky huawei and from what i read OTAs are unaffected. But if O2 doesnt have a dual sim variant and now suddenly I do, this leaves a dilemma as to if I'll get updates at all.

And now of course huawei not giving out bootloader codes anymore leaves us all in a pickle.

Either way i doubt Ill get another huawei device this has been far too much hassle.

If anyone has any knowledge on the matter...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] walkerx:
I agree the updates are ridiculous, even if you buy an open market C782 the network operators control the updates which I think is wrong.

This will probably be my last Huawei phone as well and will more or less switch back to Google
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Its a shame as this phone has by far the best camera out there but the hassle of 12 odd model numbers for one device, updates, no more bootloaders. Not worth it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] walkerx:
At least with Google you got your updates each month and there wasn't much between all the devices released worldwide.

It just a shame good hardware is let down by poor firmware updates and application compatibility.

The main thing for me was the camera and the linking to my Huawei watch which works perfectly, but u can't transfer the data to another phone if you use the built-in health app

Has anyone received 120 on EE?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Shaolin36:
I'm on .110 C782 (Three UK).

I actually changed to the C432 (128/128a) firmware and noticed absolutely no differences - even hardly any difference in the camera as some people mentioned when they upgraded - and actually noticed my battery deteriorated faster on 128.

Moved back to 110 C782, you really aren't missing anything guys
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] MrDanMak:
For me the key thing really is the security patches more than anything. Features and performance wise the phone does everything I want it to.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] adamelphick:
3UK and still on 110 here too.... have to say that really only the security patch is concerning me. I've had the phone since launch and already had one update - that's not bad goign to be honest. Previous LGs lagged for months before updates.... if it's weeks then I say we are doing pretty good. Not sure why the 782 is lagging behind, maybe there is a reason for it? I am not defending Huawei, just not slating then either for a few weeks of delay.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Because the updates get sent to the networks first for them to modify and release. C432 updates come straight from huawei so no networks getting in the way
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] papubhai:
Is c185 also like c432? I bought my phone from KSA ..cia Jarir store and without any network bonding.. btw there are no news regarding netflix hd issue as Huawei support is dumbest.

This is the stupid response from such a big giant. They should have a better customer care center than this bull****..
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] adamelphick:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Not sure, we're all on the same firmware for every network and people always give conflicting information althought O2 and huawei have told me this is the case.

My guess is, O2 will blame three, three will blame O2 and vodafone will blame carphone warehouse lol
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] adamelphick:
We need to know from Huawei if they have released the firmware to the operators

Agreed. Just to be clear to everyone. Inserting a sim on the UK model of this phone brands the device to the specific network you purchased it from.

I feel really dumb, but how can we copy files to SDCARD when the phone doesn't have an SDCARD slot?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Whichever network sells the p20 pro are most likely the ones that woukd brand it. E.g O2, Three etc. If you put a giffgaff or lebara or whatever small network I highly doubt it would brand but i dont know.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
If you got to the root directory on the phone, the base part of the phone where user storage is, it's actually called SDCARD

Root/sdcard

Don't worry, it's the terminology that's been used by Google, all phones are the same.

An SD Card is usually called sdcard1 or ext memory.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] scook94:
So drag and drop onto Internal Storage then use something like Termux to move them into /SDCARD?

Does this debranding process break Google Pay?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
The root of it yes, it's called sdcard.

No it doesn't, not configuring root access correctly breaks android pay, so if safety net fails then android pay usually follows.

Make sure to hide android pay in magisk if it's not already.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] MrDanMak:
I even told them it was the C782 but yeah you're probably right. I really don't get how it's so hard to push even just security updates especially with this being a treble enabled device.

[Huawei P20 Pro CLT-L09 8.1.0.110 (C782)]

Purchased sim-free from Carphone Warehouse, giffgaff sim inserted. One update to April security level patch so far. Note that giffgaff is owned by O2's owners Telefonica. I have come to believe my phone is branded. There are no overt indications eg O2 logo splash screens but there is an O2 app space 'app/shortcut' in the app drawer.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
If you have the O2 app it got branded :(
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] jadaress1:
When i received my phone it wouldn't pull any updates until I put a sim card in the phone, literally seconds after inserting Vodafone sim it pulled the latest update and added some Vodafone apps. Why could I not update firmware without a sim inserted (C782). Just waiting on my bootloader code from Huawei then I'm gonna attempt to rebrand to the dual sim C432 firmware. wish flashing was as easy as Samsung phones. This is my first Huawei.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Ive requested a 2nd bootloader code as apparently it changes when you rebrand to dual sim. Most likely gonna change to C432 if they give me it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] kaiowas82:
you're going to get the same one

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

Youre correct, however because of the model and variant you have, unfortunately you've been put into the pot that is seeing the least updates.

The EU variant, or what is mostly sold there (dual SIM, L-29 - c432) is seeing updates first, or at least in front of c782 which is seeing nothing beyond 110 (or at least it was before I moved over to c432)

Just de-brand pal, minimal risk if you use my guide and then you can do what you like.

Can't see updates coming through quicker in the future, apparently Huawei are notorious for it

Where did you buy your phone? Mines on EE or was
