Yes I have CLT-L04, bought from Koodo directly. They're rolling out to batches, you should get yours soon :). I Just clicked Check Update and it appeared, no automated OTA message.

I dont know what you mean about the water paint effect. I have always been very happy with the camera with Master AI on, and constantly get complements and people asking "what phone is this?!". If anything, system performance is about the same but with much smoother animations and transitions. Everything just seems more polished. Haven't noticed any big difference with the camera, perhaps a bit faster but I don't have another phone to compare to. Overall, no complaints!

I previously had an LGv30 and after an OTA to Oreo it just ruined the battery life and performance. With this OTA, my P20 Pro has no such issues, and my Bluetooth audio bug has been fixed, which is a huge relief.

I think it's extremely unlikely as such a retaliation would cause carriers to choose not to deal with Huawei by choice. Leaving customers in the lurch is worse for business.

Hey guys, guess what.

Still no Android 9.0 on my Bell P20 Pro....
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] l337krew:
Me neither bud. I was shown the update schedule at a bell store that said the update for the p20 pro started Dec 19th and the p20 was a few days earlier. So it's been more than two weeks to rollout for us p20 pro users

Still nothing on Rogers either - their site shows available between 12/19 and 01/14 for the update

Oh just a FYI - android pie OS takes an insane amount of RAM. On Oreo, I averaged about 2.5-3gb of free memory, but on pie I averaged 800mb-1.4gb of free memory. Still happy with the upgrade, however. Let's hope it doesn't gobble up even more RAM over time.

Update: after a few restarts, looks like the ram management had returned to oreo-like levels, averaging around 3gb of free memory. Opened apps are staying in cache now.

Where did you find Hicare? For me it's not available in my region. I'm with Fido and my bootloader is locked. I keep seeing all these claims about using Hicare or changing regions but none of that seems possible. It's now Jan 7th and still no OTA update to Android 9.0 for my P20 Pro and I'm less than happy at the moment.

you can find hicare in play store, but there is no update for clt-l04. I think it's only for other p20 pro like clt-l29 or international version.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Wiggums:
It's frustrating, I keep asking if they have SPECIFICALLY the CLT-L04 model. There's no way you can get a CLT-L04 in Singapore, it has to be either in Canada or Mexico but it seems Mexicans also get a different CLT model. As far as I know, there haven't been updates to the Mexican CLT-L04's as well so I'm not holding my breath on that one.

The Rogers site is showing the OS upgrade up to 01/14. With the batch releasing - I usually get any update about a week later than reported.

I figure I'll see the update probably the week of 01/21 and will be surprised when it does show up.

So here I am, decided to use Firmware Finder to register for the 9.0 update.

I have no access to the router here in the house so I can't change the DNS setting on him.

So I had to setup one of my computer as a GW with custom DNS setting.

Worked, rebooted in eRecovery and this is downloading:

Charlotte-L04C 9.0.0.160(C792ER1P9) 4939Mb

I will report back.. (was locked at 8.1.0.120, september updates..)

Note: this phone is locked, >60% downloaded, we will see..

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] l337krew:
Thanks for the advice! I can confirm this works. New feature in firmware finder works like a charm. For anyone interested, go download firmware finder and follow the erecovery update instructions.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] for811:
did you check the firmware access before? because when I do the app tell me the firmware is not approved for installation on my device
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] l337krew:
Yes and mine wasnt approved either at first, but follow the steps. After changing your router DNS, it will be approved for install and will continue
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Hey. I was wondering how you did it without getting access to the dns router if possible.

Exactly how you did it would be greatly appreciate it. I'll find a way to change my dns in the meantime.

But would really appreciate the help as I've never done this before and really want the pie update as I've been waiting since forever.

And what did you need to do it?

Step by step would really be helpful if possible

And my emui 9 firmware on firmware finder is not approved would it still work?

And have you noticed any bugs or issues so far?

Battery better? Or worse? Or the same?

Performance is better or got worse? Would really appreciate a actual changelog of issues and improvements if possible please and thank you.

Really appreciate the help.

Not letting me upload pictures....

My emui version number is : CLT-L04 8.1.0.120(C792)

Locked bootloader to rogers. Thanks in advance

And did you lose anything while updating?

Did it do a clean install or no? Thanks

And does anyone know what the difference between emui 9.0.0.160 vs 168 is?

Is it just region separate versions or just improvements? Because I only found 160 and not 168 on firmware finder.

Sorry if I asked stupid questions. Just noob with this device

Update :: Please help. Keeps giving me error : getting package info failed.

Everything else was successful ( hi.query gave me affirmative, and os installation was approved as well.) what am I doing wrong?

Step by step help would greatly be appreciated thanks

And I keep getting : this emui version is not supported whenever I open firmware finder. Is that normal?

I've never rooted this phone or unlocked bootloader.

My wife P20pro got 9.0 update 2 week ago. My p20pro Bell lock on 8.10120. I download firmware finder today, change router DNS. It's work. Erecovery downloading 9.0 update now.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
For the computer used as a GW. Depending on your OS it can be done easy.

1. I was running OpenBSD on my laptop with 2 wifi interface.

You can do this with Windows 10 or whatever just by clicking on "sharing internet connection".

Then, setup the DNS server (primary to the MT dns)

But if you don't understand a word in this, just change the DNS of your internet router.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 AM ----------

Yes it is normal when Firmware Finder say it's not supported, well, FF does not support EMUI 8 (that's all)

Just ignore the warning.

You need to go with the eRecovery method.

Go to the firmware version you want, in our case 9.0.0.160, check the eRecovery method.

Change your primary DNS to the one mentionned. (need to be your router or a PC with a good config)

Test (profit) if when you check the URL the app said after using the good DNS.

If it's ok you are going to see "welcome to MT or something like that". If not, 404 error.

Then, shutdown your phone, start it just by pressing volume+ and holding it then plug

you usb C cable (while holding) and you're going to boot in eRecovery.

After checking for update, you will see, it's 9.0**

Note: after registering for the update, don't go in the setting and "check for update"

this thing cancel the Erecovery method. (just reboot and go in recovery)

John
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Thanks very much. Appreciate it.

Gonna try it soon and give update.

BTW any bugs or issues with android pie(emui 9)?

Battery got better?

Multitasking slower? Etc

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: SUCCESS

Everything worked and I'm now on emui 9 thank you very much.

So far so good. Will update on battery and bugs when I get them.

Thank you very much. Appreciate it
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
Not really a bug but:

The application for themes fail because we don't have Huawei Mobile Service app here in NA.

This one failed before but you could still download a theme. Now nothing.

When you take a screenshot, not a bug but, the name is Screenshot-date-blabla-apkname.

So example a screenshot of Instagram give: Screenshot-date_com.instagram.android.jpg

Batterie, seem better here but I can't confirm right now. 2h30 SOT with 77% (first run with P)

Has anyone noticed the the image stabilization options have vanished from the video settings? It looks to me like 1080p 60fps may now be stabilized whereas it formerly was not. 4K, not stabilized.

Is there any confirmation of what changed in the camera?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
No matter how I try I still can't force this update using erecovery. Guessing it's due to my ****ty satelite internet connection (Xplornet). Changing the dns on my router still gives me error 404 on the check site. Configured a GW on my laptop with proper dns and now I do get the proper response on the check site, no 404 error. So of course I boot erecovery, select download and recover, connect to my GW, still get the "getting package info failed" error.

Starting to get real tired of Huawei and the fact that I have to force update this device since I haven't received an update since September. Sorry I'm stuck with this device for 2 years. Worse yet is now having to pay to unlock it so one can keep on top of updates since Huawei won't.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
You are doing the check if approved or not ? You need to register for the update then the installation will happen.

If you have a tablet or something else, just share the connection with the ip adress provided for the DNS.

I'm sure if you have another phone that you can do it the same way. (hotspot with custum dns)

John
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Yeah, that check says my device is not approved so using the eRecovery method. Get dns setup on my router and run the web site check which works but when I register my IP for the update I noticed that when firmware finder confirms my registering for the fw and shows my IP the IP listed is completely unknown to me. I'm on satellite internet and I'm thinking that they use some type of IP sharing system or something. My IP on my Viasat modem is different from the IP firmware finder shows. Hence the eRecovery download fail.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
When you check for the update, does it say "this **** is approved and let's go" ?

I mean, after you registered, when you check it's going to say "9.0.XXXXX" is ready for d/l.

Even with a satellite connection, you can do this. If you are running Windows 10 and

your computer have 1 wifi device, just make a hotspot, your IP is not going to change.

But when you setup the hotspot, put the option to get an ip auto.

For the DNS, just check the box and put the one mentionned. (ipv4 options)

Reboot in eRecovery, done.

John
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
As mentioned, not too sure why but after changing dns on my router and running the query.hicloud.com check I do get the "MT server running" response. Not 404 error. I've done this direct through my router and by running a Hotspot on my laptop same successful result with that test. Then I follow through with registering my IP for download. The IP that is listed there is my "public" IP. Same as you see if you google "what's my IP".

Now, when I log into my Viasat modem my IP is list as 10.*.*.*. Not the IP listed in FF. Which suggests my satellite internet provider is "routing" IP addeesses on their end. Same as not being able to p2p and remote access. Need to pay $10 a month for direct IP.

So when I boot eRecovery and run download and recover, connect to my wifi or Hotspot, tried both after successful dns configure and registering my IP. I get the download package info failed error. Every time.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Go into your router settings and make sure you change dns from there to the firmware finder one. Even if you get the 404 error, you should be able to register and get a aprroved message.

I had the error 404 message myself and thought it wouldn't work. But once I noticed that it showed that it was approved for installation then I knew it might work and it did.

I had to try it a couple times for it to work.

Had to use a a different router because I didn't have option for dns on my modem but instead I had ddns.

Just make sure the firmware shows that it's approved for installation.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ePearl:
I was successful in getting the update to Pie using the MT registration and DNS method. A couple of observations ( after trying a couple of different 9.0 versions - PixelExperience / LOS 16 );

The EMUI I got from MT - boots very fast ! It seems the Status Bar icons are not the enhanced icons seen in other Pie versions - anyone else notice this?? I wonder if the official OTA update version will be the same. No Rogers bloat - or Huawei Health loaded. Swipe navigation kinda sucks. Nice new sounds.

I have since downgraded to 8.1 via HiSuite and will wait for the official OTA update and see if there is a difference.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
If you'd have read my post you would see that I have successfully changed the dns address in my router, that works fine. But that's not the problem, it's my satellite internet provider. The IP address that FF registers for download is not my IP address cause they reroute IPs. The IP FF says is registered is the IP for the satellite hub, not my direct connection. Kinda like trying to connect to your laptop remotely but only having your local network IP (193.168.0.10) and not actually using your internet access IP from your provider.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] poy:
I've tried FF from playstore and followed instructions for hotspot and gateway DNS change indicated in FF. I get 404 error but it always registers successful. When booting into erecovery it downloads 8.1. My router/modem doesn't let me change DNS, womp womp.

Great update. Emui 9 is amazing.

Works better than ever.

Constantly getting 6+ hours of screen on time

Currently at 6 hours and 12 minutes and i still have 17% left which will probably last another hour screen on or more. If not used it'll last longer.

Just doesn't say turbo gpu in about settings. Idk if I do have turbo gpu 2.0 but the battery has improved and so has the heating of the phone. Doesnt heat up as much.

I must be retarded. I follow these steps, changed the primary DNS to the one assigned from Huawei but all I get is a 404 not found error. I’m getting so frustrated waiting for this gdamn update.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
Are you changing the DNS on your router/ap or using a computer ?

From a computer, I tested with Windows 10 too, just had to check the option to create

an hotspot and go in the setting, ipv4, set the DNS. Leave the other empty.

Maybe you are doing it on the wrong interface ?

John
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ProAc_Fan:
I’m changing the DNS settings on my Cogeco router thru my IMac.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
And if you test with a computer or whatever.

What is the assigned DNS ?

On Windows, open a terminal and type ipconfig

You will see if it's really applicated.

Maybe the order are mixed if you have two DNS in the settings, Only put one and leave the secondary dns empty.

i tried following this guide too but since i dont have access to my router's dns settings I tried to do it through the hotspot from windows 10. no matter what i tried, whenever my phone connects to the hotspot it registers as dns and gateway the 192.168.137.1 which is the default settings for the windows 10 hotspot. I tried changing them from the adapter settings and through CMD commands but nothing. anyone else encountered the same problem?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
When you create the hotspot, you will see a virtual interface added.

After this, click on the virtual interface and check for propriety.

You are going to see Ipv4 some ****, edit this.

At the bottom you will see 2 entry for DNS, primary, secondary.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Check your router if it has a DNS rely option in network settings. If so turn it off. My router (different) has that option and would keep getting 404 error even after changing prim DNS. Turned that off and it worked.

Now you have 2 interfaces, edit both of them and setup the same primary DNS ip.
