Don't use Sammobile, it is far too slow.

Updato is faster and has the firmware you need. CRD7 is the latest SEE firmware. Follow the instructions to use Odin and it will not wipe your data. That said, a backup is always advised in case things go wrong.

There is no reason why you shouldn't get OTA's in future after updating this way.

Here is the link to the firmware you require. There is also a link to the latest Odin included in the instructions

What you guys suggest!? I want to root my Phone but I am waiting for The Oreo Update

Should I wait Further or not!?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] NZedPred:
Personally I was wondering the same, but decided a week or so ago to unlock the bootloader and install lineage 14.1. Happy with my decision, it actually fixed a bug I had with NFC only working occasionally. Also good to be able to use my root apps again. I won't upgrade to Oreo until after the official Oreo release and developers have had a chance to fix the issues there seems to be with Bluetooth calling, votle, imei, etc.

So my answer would be sure go ahead, as long as you know what you're doing it for and understand the risks.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
I agree with NZedPred, nothing wrong with rooting and installing custom rom, but I wouldn't install any Oreo rom until/if official Oreo for this device gets released. Just too many problems.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] NIK5NIK:
Same here waiting for Oreo before root
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] psychopac:
If you can fix the various common problems that may come with custom ROMs, go ahead. Otherwise, you could stay stock and wait for the update. It all depends on you if you want to have the latest Oreo (8.1 and the latest security patches).

If you just want to root, it's fine too but you'll still lose warranty.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] GuestK0062:
Not sure, i have zero problems on ResurrectionRemix Oreo.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] GuestK0062:
I was thinking the same and now i'm glad that i did it. RR working like a champ.

some custom rom are stable and u can use for daily driver
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] wastedige:
I'll wait. There's nothing revolutionary about Android 8, the custom roms are almost always buggy, and also all these reports of IMEI 0 are troublesome.

Hello everyone

Since there are no forums for this magnificent phone on xda developers until now, I've decided to open a temporary one until our great developers create a dedicated one.

I think this phone is by far the one with most features until this moment and being the 1st in many things!

- 6" amoled QHD screen made by LG (No notch thank heavens)

- HiSilicon Kirin 970 processor (with a chipset consisting of a layer of 9.7 million PCM microcapsules which absorb, store, and slowly dissipate heat, meaning the phone shouldn’t get too hot).

- 6gb ram and 256/512gb storage (1st phone 512gb)

- DolbyAtmos Stereo speakers

- Front in-display (1st commercial phone) and rear fingerprint sensors (1st to have both)

- Face unlocking which is very quick

- Triple rear cameras (1st phone together with p20 pro) being one of the best among other phones. 40 MP RGB / 20 MP Monochrome / 8 MP Telephoto

- 24 MP front facing camera

- 4000 mah battery with super fast charging

- Wireless charging (1st huawei phone)

- IR blaster (rare in phones these days)

- Knuckle Gestures for commands (very convenient)

- Dual sim

- Desktop mode with just a simple hdmi connector

- Private space (another secured phone mode with a different fingerprint)

- IP67

- VoLTE and wifi calling

What else do you want from a handheld device? It's a smartphone geek's dream come true, isn't it? I definitely admit that it is too overpriced but come on its a signature piece of beauty. At least you will be one of the few people in this world holding a true flagship phone!

To be honest I fell in love with this phone as soon I laid my eyes on it and especially after knowing all the specs on board. It's a dream come true.

I kindly request all the owners of this master piece to please post their thoughts and experiences with this phone to help me and others take a good idea about the phone because there are only few reviews available on youtube.

Until there is a dedicated topic, thanks for showing up here and wishing for your participations!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] malimt:
You know you're right man! It is indeed a great device. I saw some reviews on YouTube and I was completely blown away! It looks much better than the original P20 Pro but unfortunately, the price tag is very high. I personally can't afford to get it but for those who can I think you should go out and buy one! You most certainly will not regret it as it truly is a beast with class.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] WarCow:
As you say, it's quite overpriced for a device that (like all phones) will be outdated in about 1 years time.

Still, I like the design and the extra features like wireless charging and in-screen fingerprint scanner. Hopefully they'll include these in the upcoming Mate 20.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scdoyle:
I got one two days ago. Initial impressions:

- build quality is very nice, but extremely similar in look and feel to S9. The Porsche logo at the front is very discreet and you barely see it in practice. Screen is perhaps more curved at edges and I have had the odd time where my hand triggers screen touches just holding it. Screen quality is very good but some slight colour shifting at an angle. Back gets smudged in fingerprints of course, but overall I like the design. I think the symmetry of the cameras and reader at the back looks smart. Nice weight and perfect overall size for me.

- in-screen reader is the big innovation of course. It shows you where to press when you move the phone which is nice. It also has a cool animation when reading and unlocking. Still a bit picky and does not work all the time but clearly this is going to be standard on all phones soon. I actually find it really useful to unlock the phone when it is lying on my desk.

- the rest I think is standard P20 Pro? It's my first Huawei in a while so getting used to EMUI again. Still struggling getting widgets working.

Overpriced? Absolutely. But it is a very well rounded device overall and of course unique. I switch phones around a lot but for the first time I might actually say I have a phone with no obvious flaws. :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Smartphoner:
Congratulations for the phone and Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this outstanding piece of tech!

I just want you to confirm some doubts please.

Is it a hybrid phone? Meaning it can take 2 sims or 1 sim and SDcard or is it just a regular dual sim?

Is there any issues with the slo-mo mode?

How is the battery life?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scdoyle:
Looks like it's just dual sim. How do I check? I don't really want to shove a card in there. I don't see any SD storage coming up anywhere in storage settings.

Slowmo looks awesome to me but never had this kind of rate in a phone before so have no reference. I know some reviews talked about artifacts but I played with some water droplets and liked the results. You have to time it as it starts recording in normal and then goes slow after a few seconds.

Not had enough time yet to evaluate battery life but initial impressions are good. But I will be using wireless charger during the day anyway so am not concerned.

A few other comments:

Face unlock is incredible. Works instantaneously, even in v low light.

Porsche theming is a bit disappointing. Just a few average wallpapers and a widget which won't work on a different launcher.

Like a lot of reviews say, camera is not as initially impressive as pixel 2 but need more time to play with options.

Hope that helps.

I'm also interested in this overpriced phone but before I buy can you please confirm it has wifi calling?

I'm with EE and unfortunately, at work, I don't have the best of reception so rely on the wifi calling.

I know Huawei P20 Pro has wifi calling feature which this phone is based on so it should be there.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
It’s dual sim only. Don’t use a micro Sd card.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scdoyle:
I am not seeing WiFi calling anywhere in the settings but do I have to be enrolled for it to appear? I am not registered for it with my carrier. Where should it show?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gfreek:
What network are you with? With EE it's active.

It should be under: (Connect your phone to WiFi) then go to > Settings > More (in ‘Wireless & networks’ section) > Wi-Fi calling > Tap the Wi-Fi calling switch to Enable or it could be like this: WiFi calling under "settings" > "wireless & networks" => "call settings"
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
I’ve asked 2 of my tech friends who had loan units. I’m hoping at least one of them can answer the WiFi calling. I’m on Three and my sim free P20 Pro has WiFi calling, so I’m hoping this version has to. I can’t imagine it won’t.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scdoyle:
I don't see WiFi calling anywhere in settings in networks or calling. When I search 'Wi-Fi' in settings nothing with calling comes up.

I am on Rogers in Canada and I just tried to register but the website says my device is not eligible once I enter the code. Would the settings change if the phone recognizes that it is registered?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gfreek:
Ok, it could mean wi-fi calling settings will only show if the carrier supports it, so I'm guessing Rogers don't. Thank you for checking. I need to find retailer that will allow me to have a full hands on and insert my EE sim to see if it has wifi calling, I would be surprised if it doesn't as this phone is practically based on Huawei P20 Pro!

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

Likewise I hope they can confirm the wifi calling as this feature is a deal breaker for me on getting this phone!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gfreek:
Ok good news can confirm wifi calling is available!?

You will only see the wifi calling settings if your operator/sim support this feature.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Cool. How did you find this out..
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gfreek:
Went to Porsche Design boutique in Brompton Road, Knightsbridge. I asked them if I could put my EE SIM into their display model to confirm Wifi-Calling they were kind enough to oblige. See attached screenshot.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Excellent, what was phone like in person, and what price did the PD shop ask for ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gfreek:
I would describe the phone as a more refined Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, especially the back very symmetrical really feels good in the hand it definitely feels premium. My current handset is an iPhone X (love the hardware hate iOS) so side by side Mate RS holds its own.

My only design criticism would be that it was lazy on Porsche Design part to have copied Samsung Galaxy S9 and just refined it they could have been more original be a little more adventurous etc... but they played it safe! Price was £1475.00 for 256GB they don't have the 512GB in stock yet price for that is estimated to be around £1995.00 - £2099

I appreciate it is Porsche Design so you have to pay a premium but really this phone is overpriced IMHO it should have been more around the £995.00 for £256GB and £1299.00 -£1399 for the 512GB.

That being said I will end up buying this handset I know it's crazy to spend so much on a phone but I like the features this phone has, really this what the P20 Pro should have been. I did have Oneplus 6 on my shortlist but was disappointed to see them embracing the notch when there was no need to implement it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rajeshr:
I'm with Rogers too and am interested in the Mate RS. I have the P20 Pro, so am getting used to EMUI and its quirks. Have you gotten any updates for the RS? Given that it is a really small market for this phone, I'm concerned about Huawei pushing any updates to this model. I see some issues with the P20 Pro (i.e. issues with the Wear OS app etc) and if those issues are there on the Mate RS, would like to understand if they get addressed quickly.

Also, what's your experience with the call quality?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scdoyle:
Not received any updates yet - even on initial boot which was surprising. It is currently on 8.1.0.107 (C721). I agree - I am also concerned that it will not be prioritized for updates given small quantities and likelihood of the buyers not caring that much. The good news is that there are essentially only a few versions made so at least it won't get stuck in the branding/countries delays.

Call quality is excellent, just like my previous Pixel 2. Battery life is not striking me as amazing so far, but I have had the AOD on which does not really add much expect for a nice looking clock!

As mentioned above, it is a unique high-quality device but probably not worth the premium over the P20 Pro. It all depends how much that uniqueness and cutting edge tech is worth to you! :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] TonyUK1985:
That's odd I can't say I've heard of that. I got August patches early August been September one only came this morning and I check for updates hoping for pie. As the phone is unlocked there shouldn't be different time scales for me and you, all the European models are from Netherlands so unless you have an Asian model I can't think of any reason why update times are different. Sorry can't be more help
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] YoSoyCarlosG:

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vshzR:
Sadly no, the software doesn't seem to know how to support 2 finger print readers and I assume the rear one is set as the primary. I feel this is an android issue and not the app based on the logic of what comes up.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] thklinge:
Vivo make it work. The in screen reader is used in all apps. Not sure if it is because it only has one reader or they did some sort of software modification as well. I also noticed that some apps doesn't give you the option of fingerprint logins on my Mate RS, even though it worked on the Galaxy S9 Plus. Might be because there are two readers on this one. Would be fun to be able to deactivate the rear one and see what happens.

Huawei would be working on this as well, since the Mate 20 Pro only has the in-screen reader. Fingers crossed for more options for the readers in EMUI 9?

Does anyone know if the charging system has changed between the Mate 10 and the P20/Mate RS? I upgraded from a Mate 10 Pro to the RS and now the DeX dock I use for desktop mode doesn't charge the RS. It had no issues charging the Mate 10 before. Other than that its a pretty decent upgrade
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Gurhan_Kocer:
I already did. Here is my impressions about it

- Mate 20 Pro screen is very tall at the first place. If your hands are not too big you will struggle to handle it.

- Also i found it very shiny. I mean it is too reflective like mirror. Even when the screen is on, glass is reflecting all lights arround you. I felt little bit odd during testing the phone.

- Edges are much more curvey then like Note 9 or S9+ and i saw colors are pinkish/purpelish/greenish on edges. That was the most disappointment for me actually.

Overall build quality is very good and solid. But i need to add that it has no bottom speaker grill. I mean the phone has stereo speaker setup but Huawei used Usb-C port as a bottom speaker. It sounds little bit lower to me but it is ok. The odd thing is when you plug in your charger to the port the speaker sound is almost completely gone. It is awfull. It means forget to listen or watch something while your phone is charging. Silly..

Actually, after when i realize that speaker thing i quit to inspect phone anymore. So i will stick to mate rs porsche design little bit more.

I made the upgrade to a 256GB Mate 20 Pro and couldn't be happier :) screen is way way better. Worth the change. Speed is amazing overall. I was trying to wait for the Pie update for Mate RS, I guess it'll make a big speed change.

Sadly, speakers are inferior. Mate RS's speakers are just mind-blowing! No pixel or Note 9 can come close :)

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gfreek:
Ok got the EMUI 9 update last night, I like the new features and have seen a big improvement in display fingerprint scanner it's far more reliable and faster u can use it now:good:

However, one thing I have noticed the overall UI is slower it is not as fluid as EMUI 8, still find small lags and stutters every now and then basically the os still feels like a beta, hopefully, Huawei push out more updates to address this.

Update: So I decided to play with the animation speeds in the developer options and changed it from the default (1x) to 0.5x, and everything feels a lot smoother now. The animations of moving between apps are fluid, the transition from one page to another looks much smoother overall its a lot better. I feel like it was meant to have 0.5x set at default instead, but that's just my experience.

Update 2: My bad just realised I'm using Nova Launcher so the new EMUI 9 does not play nice with it, its a known issue hence the reason for slowness, lag and stutter. With the default Huawei Launcher there are no issues.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vshzR:
So now that EMUI 9.0 is out, has anyone played with any of the custom ROMs?
