So having no vulnerability fixes, bug fixes, possible new features (Rare) is fine? while everyone else can enjoy having their phone being updated and Huawei lying to my face saying "We are investigating why your phone hasn't been updated for the last 5 months and you should receive an update in 2-3 weeks" its been weeks and weeks already, great service that is, the C782 single sim is terrible for updates, the phone overall is fine, the AOD is also a pos which they haven't even bothered to update or add to it like Samsung/Pixel AOD, notifications barely come through either.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] arty_a:
Seriously? What brand did you have before Huawei? I had LG and Samsung before that and I can tell you they are way slower in rolling out updates. Just google it. I must mention though that I have C432.

It's not Hauwei's fault that cellular operators in certain countries delay updates for months. It was their poor business decision from the beginning, but the fact that other regions get updates in timely manner means that Huawei releases them in timely manner.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] maddoguk:
OnePlus - regular, almost monthly updates. No ISP interfering or multiple regional models.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] warface:
here you go:
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamdvd:
Thank you. Today or tomorrow I'll try to force install that update using method with HiSuite.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aka.petteri:
I have the C782 version, EE UK, still on. 168. How do I update it to. 255? Somebody posted earlier that he received the patch. Do I need to force update with HiSuite?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] warface:
I didn't do anything special to get the update. It just appeared as a prompt that it was available.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aka.petteri:
No avaioable update for me. How do I force update with HiSuite?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamdvd:
1. Open directory:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\

Edit file hosts adding on the last line:

# 188.225.84.142 query.hicloud.com

and save it.

2. Unistall current HiSuite and install HiSuite 9.0.2.304 (don't launch it yet).

Download from here: https://pro-teammt.ru/projects/hwff/hisuite/HiSuite_9.0.2.304.zip

3. Download: https://pro-teammt.ru/projects/hwff/hisuite/hisuite.zip

and replace files with downloaded ones:

a) in folder: C:/Program Files (x86)/HiSuite/httpcomponent.dll

b) in folder: C:/Users/(

YourUserName

)/AppData/Local/Hisuite/userdata/UpdateDogDev/HiSuiteConfig.xml

4a. Change router DNS to: 188.225.84.142

OR

4b. turn off IPv6 and change DNS in IPv4 to 188.225.84.142

5. Open Firmware Finder app and register firmware of your choice for your IP (use FullOTA firmware only; OTA files may not install)

NOTICE: For now, the latest firmware with SafetyNet passed is 9.0.0.255.

6. Launch HiSuite (do not install HiSuite update!!)

7. Check available firmware updates

8. Firmware of your choice should be available

9. Install

10. Revert changes in DNS for IPv4 and turn on IPv6

11. Reverting changes in hosts file is not needed
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamdvd:
Updated to 9.0.0.255 (C782) and SafetyNet passed.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kingcapning:
My safety net failed for some reason :/ i did update to 282 using the same method i dont seem to be running into any issues except for google play not wanting to load occasionally, also do our devices even have GPU Turbo?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamdvd:
My previous update was .240 and SafetyNet was not passed. .240 was pushed to C782 devices in 3 network (but they're actually L29) and maybe that firmware was not certified for L09.

This is the probably reason, why .282 is not passing SafetyNet.

I think that GPU Turbo is enabled, but not mentioned in the Device Info section.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Magic-design:
If I insert a uk Vodafone sim and hard reset, will it start to get more frequent updates (becoming a Vodafone handset) ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] chrissyyyw:
Just tried to update my EE C782 to CLT-GRP2-OVS 9.0.0.282 using the Hi Suite method.

Firmware update failed on restart.

Any idea why?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] chrissyyyw:
I've managed to update to .282 and my SafetyNet also hasn't passed.

Do we just need to wait for next month's security update?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamdvd:
Did you use FullOTA or OTA package?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] chrissyyyw:
Full OTA. I tried .282 again and it installed no problem.

Unfortunately Google Pay is no longer working.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamdvd:
If you want to have SafetyNet passed you must wait until next official update. For now, the latest is .255 for C782 L09.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] chrissyyyw:
I couldn't see .255 available in my firmware finder which I thought was strange.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamdvd:
Type in: Charlotte.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] chrissyyyw:
I didn't put the Charlotte version of .282 on mine but the CLT.

What's the difference?

Would I brick it rolling back to Charlotte .255
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cz.marcin:
No more updates lads. Google pulls a plug on Huawei!!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] john306:
I thought they'd done it months ago, I'm still on Dec 2018 security update.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] maddoguk:
according to the press current phones shouldn't be affected.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] leoniedelt:
I am also on the Dec 2018 update, and mad as hell about it. I'm in the middle of a complaint to EE, who maintain it is not their fault, and they have nothing to do with releasing software.

They're not very bright are they.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] chrissyyyw:
My Google play won't update now on .282.

No updates since yesterday.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamdvd:
I think that it's the same. But I wouldn't try to downgrade due to possibilty of bricking phone.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] chrissyyyw:
How about using system recovery in HiSuite and rolling back down to Oreo?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] andreasermones:
Did a manual search this afternoon, new update found and I am now on version 255.

EE UK C782
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] leoniedelt:
Just done the same. No joy. stuck on 168
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BurtieBL:
Anyone on O2 with the C782 version received a security update yet? I'm still on the December patch. Spoke to O2 and they said they approved an update on the 20th May and now it's up to Huawei to push it out.

They also confirmed the last update prior to this was back in December. Proves that Huawei don't care about providing up to date security patches for the UK phones at least.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Magic-design:
I am
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] 00mpollard:
255 update appeared on my phone this morning.

C782 O2 UK.

:)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] m7svk:
I checked finder and 284 was approved, gone ahead and updated it, failed on ota, full update no problem, but failed on safetynet = cts profile match, google play on 15.1.24 latest, banking working fine, phone feel smoother, more fluid..
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] john306:
Well I never...

255 update appeared on my phone this afternoon. C782 O2 UK.

Only crappy 1st April security update though, it's now 5th June.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] m7svk:
Ok, last night I moved to 290, so far all good, still fails safetynet, but I do not care, online banking working, this is what I care, as mentioned here previosly in one post, is very easy process to follow, and update your phone when you can, not wait for month or two for update to be pushed, or missed your device... ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] m7svk:
Quick update, stay away from 290, got bad battery drain, reinstalled 3x and still there, gone and intalled 286, lets see if any good, will keep updaded, but 284 was fine, no battery drain.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BurtieBL:
I've installed 286 too and all good so far. All banking apps and my PayPal card reader work without issue.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BurtieBL:
Just manually updated to firmware 9.0.0.295 (C782E3R1P9) which includes the June security patch via FirmwareFinder and HiSuite.

Proves that Huawei are updating the UK version of the P20 Pro. So is it a case of Huawei going to all the effort of producing up to date software and for some reason not passing onto the UK networks or the UK networks receive it but don't bother with it and just blame Huawei? Would love to know what's happening here!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aka.petteri:
How did you update? I want to do it too, thanks
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] m7svk:
I done update too to 295, all good, and battery holds well, only negative, download folder was wiped clear of everything, so do not keep there anything, rest of phone untouched, but what is shocking, my daughters y6 2018 model just got official may update, do not understand why huwaei looking well after budget phones but not so much after flagship phones...
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BurtieBL:
There's a detailed post on page 52 of this thread. I followed those instructions and managed to get 3 updates recently.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] m7svk:
Just was going to say, page 52, easy instructions, do not update OTA, always full update, take much longer but works, small OTA always fails to update, good luck..
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BurtieBL:
All good with mine too and the download folder was OK.

Don't know why we don't receive up to date official updates. Huawei are obviously working on regular security updates as we can see them on FF. Is it that Huawei aren't passing the software onto the networks or is it the networks that are being selective about which updates they're prepared to check and approve?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BurtieBL:
Just noticed on 295 that the NatWest app doesn't allow fingerprint login, says I'm rooted. Starling bank, MBNA, Lloyds, Halifax, Android Pay and PayPal are all OK.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
Anyone got a new update or still stuck on March 2019
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] m7svk:
Latest is 295 with June security updates..
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Magic-design:
Ota?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Chameleon1977:
Just got 9.1.0.311 ota. c782 on Sky (O2 virtual network). July security updates. Wtf?!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BurtieBL:
O2 said on their community forum it would start the update from this week. It should add WiFi and 4G calling. I've not had it yet so might have to force an update, again.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aka.petteri:
Cool. I am waiting for my fellows at EE UK to push the update.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] chrissyyyw:
Just seen 9.1 is now showing on firmware finder for the C782 which includes GPU Turbo according to the changelog.

Download size is 4gb.

Should be available via the DNS method and patched Huawei suite.

Be aware your SafetyNet will probably fail though which could lead to issues with banking apps etc.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aka.petteri:
Do I need root for this method? I have tried many times but it doesn't work. Help please :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] chrissyyyw:
Nope.

All you need is the firmware from FF.

The DNS changed on your router.

Patched Huawei suite.

There is a guide on here somewhere.

I'm just going to wait for EE I think.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Chameleon1977:
My 9.1.0.311 was an unexpected ota update, so hopefully other networks will follow suit shortly.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamdvd:
Is your SafetyNet passed?

Could you please send a screenshot from 'Device info'?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] chrissyyyw:
If he's recieved it via o2 OTA the SafetyNet will be passed.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aka.petteri:
Doesn't work for me :/
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Chameleon1977:
FYI it arrived around 10pm BST on Saturday night.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] chrissyyyw:
Still no GPU Turbo?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Chameleon1977:
Yes.

Change log

This update will update your system to EMUI 9.1 with support for EROFS technology and GPU Turbo 3.0.

Individual sections were:

[System] - Adds EROFS

[Incoming Call Video] - Customises incoming call videos for contacts

[GPU Turbo 3.0] - GPU Turbo 3.0 supports dozens more games, etc

[Huawei Vlog] - Generate highlight reels, effects and MV with a single touch

[Huawei Share OneHop] - Share clipboard and screen recordings with MateBook

[Simplified Settings] - Simplifies settings for easier operation

[Security] - July Android security patches

Only other thing I've noted so far is AOD now supports multiple new icons (Gmail, email, Messenger, etc). Bluetooth for music is still s***.

FYI, regarding my device: It's the twilight model, purchased direct from O2 but SIM-free and has never been connected to O2 network directly (originally Tesco, but moved to Sky).
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aka.petteri:
Can I update via OTG?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
Still nothing for Three UK CLT-L29 model
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robertmputt:
9.1.0.311 is available and approved for install on firmware finder on 782 branded p20 pro.

9.1.0.316 is available and approved for install on firmware finder on 782 too.

9.1.0.320 is also available but not approved for install...

hopefully 9.1 OTA is only a matter of days on 782 :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pablo103:
I updated manually to emui 9.1 and there is still no gpu turbo
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aka.petteri:
How did you do it?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] 00mpollard:
Does the FullOTA firmware wipe the device? As far as i'm aware it doesn't but if someone in the know could clarify to be on the safe side :D Sorry for the silly question!

Thanks :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pablo103:
I used this method....link
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robertmputt:
I have tried to get it to update through firmware finder and a hisuite hack, i have had no success. Kind of given up on it for now. Hopefully OTA will come soon. Full OTA probably would wipe the phone but not 100% sure, Would do a backup just to be safe.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] WelshPaul:
I updated to 9.1.0.316 using the above method but encountered a problem that took hours to resolve! :eek:

Basically the phone updated fine (no factory reset required) but I kept getting a software update notice telling me there are was a new update. The update version however was identical to the version I had already installed although this one was 602MB in size!?! Anyway, update via over the air and everything goes ok and yet I get another update notice and cycle goes on and on! A factory reset didn't resolve the issue either, in fact I get a notice about unauthorised modification detected etc... I followed the above procedure again, factory reset the device many times and now all appears to be ok!

I won't be doing that method again!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robertmputt:
that is the same method i had tried myself and couldn't even get it to download the update in hi suite. i just gave up altogether on it. what did you do with firmware finder to get it to work with hi suite, firmware finder finds all the updates for me but can't download them with hi suite at all :(

cheers for any help :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] WelshPaul:
The guide in the link above isn't clear when it comes to Firmware Finder - You need to download Firmware Finder to your PC and use it to register the firmware version you want to install before running hisuite

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] marko68:
Annoyingly I prefer more personal and warm thank you than press a button
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Lol not both?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bobsie41:
I'm really not getting this update order of priority.

I took out a UK Vodafone contract with a 3rd party provider (mobiles.co.uk) so my device is SIM free.

I have just read on a Vodafone forum that Vodafone devices recieve the .128 update over 2 weeks ago.

Does this mean that UK SIM free devices have to wait for all services providers to be updated before we get our turn?

I guess I'm going to have to take the plunge change to the European version......a bit scared, I've stuck to stock devices for the past 3 years now [emoji53]
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
It depends on the device.

So what variant do you have? 782? Then you'll have to wait..

432 you'll be on up to 128

Soon to be 131
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
I've contacted Huawei, regarding these updates and they are not very forthcoming with information regarding the updating, just saying that we are on the latest update for the C782 model if on 110.

I'm waiting for another reply from them as mentioned they have not really answered my questions of why we are so behind others for updates, what is happening about project treble support to ensure we get timely updates, what they are doing to fix widget support on third-party launchers, what about the camera and other fixes we are hearing about in other firmware releases, when are we going to see these

Overall excellent hardware letdown by poor support and updates, even my Shield TV Pro (2015) has just received another update
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kingcapning:
Yeah i contacted them too, they only said "your on the latest version 110 and will have to wait until we release an update" i tried asking when that could be but ignored me and said "Is there anything else i can help you with"

Its kind of annoying other p20 pros are getting updates but the c872 uk variant is suffering, got mine on contract from EE its sim free as i can put other sim cards in and they work fine, starting to hope december i can upgrade to something else first huawei and feel little let down.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
i got mine on contract with Three, but even if you buy it sim-free from a UK supplier you will more than likely be stuck with the C782 model, which then gets re-branded to the network of the first sim you install and Huawei even confirm this, even though it is the open market version. If it was open market version then we should get same updates as someone on C432 and not have to rely on our network operators to update.

Also I don't think our version is project treble compliant (Huawei will not even confirm if it is) otherwise Google would be pushing the security updates and we should see them regularly

I'm waiting to see what Google bring out in October and see if they do release a smartwatch as well, if they do I'll probably switch back as will be guaranteed to get regular updates. even my 2015 shield tv received an update the other day
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Lol Canada is just a little too safe for my liking.

Safety when the reason for someone buying a product involves risk is idiotic.

If they can't see that then they won't survive.

Choice is the android way, take it away and you'll see more hacks flying in and the Android devices looking more like apple.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
A lot users buy android devices due to the fact they can easily be modded with or without custom rooms and root access. I've been using Android since T-Mobile G1 (even found my old manual a few weeks ago). I tried an apple 4 for about 2 weeks and gave it away due to the limitations.

I don't want to see android go the way of apple devices and be fully locked down, but I do want to see more unification with the operating system itself.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
My point is taking away choice goes against everything that makes android android.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
Agreed

I think I'm going to request my unlock codes, just as long as Huawei honour any warranty if not used during warranty period.

I don't have much faith in getting timely updates and fixes, especially when they reply and say 128a(C432) has been released and you will get this update on your C782 when we K ow this to be incorrect.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] user4001:
Yeah I'm growing tired of this branded bullcrap. Never experienced it before but I know how the Americans feel now to an extent.

I bought an unlocked phone from Carphone Warehouse. Why the fook has 3 got to get involved now and brand my phone with that trashy bootscreen? Modify the OS (Three App Cloud with Usage Access)? Delay updates whilst 3 administer their bloat?

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Yeah I might request them too. Isn't there a time limit though on how long they will work for?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] NightOrchid:
Exactly the same boat buddy... My pro is also CW, but I'm on O2, yet still on v110... put my SIM in and it rebooted with O2 and Amazon bloat... wtf??? Its obviously to do with it being a 782 rather than 432... Most of the world is on a 432 code and it's just UK and some EU on 782... So the 432 get it first... Not sure if I'll de-brand yet, but I'm wondering whether I shouldve gone for an XZ2....

Ive messaged Huawei UK on Twitter and FB like others here have... I'll let you all know the answer, but hopefully if we all msg and keep messaging.... It might push them abit

Let me know how your de-brand goes
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
C782 is UK only, it's supposed to be open market version but network providers can install their own branding and I have confirmation of that from Huawei and CPW won't do anything and say nothing to do with them and this goes for the operators as well.

Huawei state it is to get wifi calling working..

The C432 is UK, Spain and France (not sure about other European areas)

There was no need for three to rebrand the phone with the fullscreen boot animation. Non of the operators do this for Apple devices so why android.

But it will definitely be last Huawei device buy as I don't want to have to root my device and rebrand it because of them.

I've also not had reply from Huawei in regards to obtaining the unlock code and not using it until warranty is up.

Even One Plus looking good with their announcement regarding updates, just wish Huawei and others would follow suite
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] goldenr:
Late updates for network locked phones are normal and ensures the best integrity and quality of the update. I rather wait few more weeks then get an update with bugs.

HERE is a nice article how EE collaborates with manufacturer
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
You are missing the point, when someone buys a sim-free unbranded phone from a supplier you expect it to stay that way, not to be rebranded by the first network sim you install or receive updates by that network provider. the phone should be left as is and receive updates from the manufacturer not the operator.

The statement about best integrity and quality of update is also garbage as they don't do this for Google Pixel devices as the updates come direct from Google

Huawei have some many different models out there and we UK users are not receiving updates in the same way as other devices in other countries
