I'm with Telus , got the phone 3 days ago I got a security patch update today, but I'm still on Emui 8, is anyone else still waiting for the update?

Is there a way to force it?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
You do realize this whole forum thing is about helping others resolve issues, not to just tell people "use stock". And quite funny that you say "NO ONE" has said or mentioned this issue and it's just my phone when you directly responded to another user inquiring about this exact same issue a few days back with once again the same "use stock, it's prettier" answer.

Just to end this look it up. "EMUI 9 launcher problems". Obviously not the only one, whole bunch of threads on XDA just about that topic.

Just because there's something happening out there that you're unaware of doesn't mean it's not happening.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Stop making me laugh buddy.

I never said "just use stock" and would never say that because everyone has their own preferences.

And the other threads are not meant for Canadian model phones.

Which we should have if we are on this thread.

The Canadian and international models are different that's why there is a separate thread just for us.

Everyone has issues with their phone, who doesn't. Even I do.

And I've been helping others. While you've been complaining about the update. All I said was enjoy the update and you got defensive. You really need to check your priorities and work on them rather then come at me for your insecurities. Lol

I just gave my opinion of the home launcher saying the animations are better. I never said use it because it's pretty. Cause trust me it's not. Just the animations are nice. Which I mentioned.

I recomend nova launcher but it's not the best yet with this device which you noticed and found a solution. So good for you and go do some work instead of arguing like a little kid on a forum thread.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Your responses are like that of a self entitled fourteen year old. Get a hold of yourself.

To start, your on stock launcher, everything's working fine. Good for you. This is in regards to 3rd party launchers and Android Pie.

This issue is not model based, not even device based. This has been an issue with Pie since the dawn of Pie and Google's integration of gesture navigation and revamped recent apps overview and features. Google has not granted 3rd party launcher developers access to core system file to integrate the new recent apps overview features. I've shared a solution with users who do not want to run stock launcher but still want to run Pie. Your comments on downgrading to Oreo if we don't like Pie features were unnecessary and pointless.

It's a pretty easy concept to grasp. If it don't pertain to you, keep your 2 cents to yourself.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
You clearly didn't read what I said and assumed that I was showing you attitude. You took offense real easy for a 30 year old. Or however old you are. Which I clearly don't care about.

Back to the matter at hand.... There are things such as device based issues. Not everyone gets the same device just because it's shipped to the same country.

Keep your comments to yourself if you clearly don't know what I said before and what you're backing up. Because you're falsely accusing me for things I didn't even say. So just read the before comments and quote me if you think I said something to that made you cry.

If this has been an issue since time pie was released then why does my device doesn't have it?

I have the "same device" as you right? Shouldn't we have the same issues?

Dumb answer seriously.

And you're calling me 14?.

You're probably older than me (which I doubt) but you clearly don't act or sound like you're older.

Keep your "wisdom" to yourself.

No one wants to hear us argue about some stupid thing you're mad about and just move on with your life.

And I thank you for providing solutions to your problem, I have too, but assuming something and going at me is not going to help.

Move on with your life and enjoy your solution fixed.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] markdexter:
Wow, seriously fellas, like being on a playground listening to kids arguing, who gives a f**k .

Now onto a thread question, could some one please who is with Telus, and has the pie update tell me what the build our version number is?

I'm going to try to manually update my device , I'm not receiving the update for some reason.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Immature kids here getting angry for no reason.

And it's build number 9.0.0.178. And it's security patch January.

Surprised you haven't got it yet.

But you going to use firmware finder?

Let me know how it goes
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] markdexter:
Awesome buddy, thanks for the info, I'll let you know
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] niko_quebec:
Hi

Since my update to Android 9.0 my GPS do not function with Waze or Google MAP.

I had Huawei support on the line, they are working on a patch available during March
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
they working on another update I wonder how long this will take??
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Robinottawa:
Isn't a patch different from an update? Shouldn't take as long?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
yeah hopefully
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Face palm....

After trying various things to resolve Bluetooth phone audio and GPS problems in my rig (Network/Bluetooth reset, Factory Reset) neither helped so tried a fresh clean flash. Backed up all my data, reverted to 8.1(120) via HiSuite. Everything running normal back on Oreo but looks like the Pie (170) update may have been pulled from the servers. Both OTA and HiSuite are saying I'm running the latest firmware. Hopefully means the next update is just around the corner.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] linesync:
I just got a p20 pro yesterday with Virgin and the update that was available was 8.1.0.120.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
More update files for March update on the firmware finder app.

Anyone still on emui 8 want to try it out and see if it works?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Been trying since back on emui 8. Always get the "Getting package info failed" in erecovery. Mind you I've never been successful with the FF updates, always the same error.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dutch77er:
Update

I just got my P20 Pro on Sunday and no updates yet beyond 8.1.xxx - I got it off FB marketplace and it was in shrinkwrap so not sure where it came from. Its version CLT-L04 8.1.0.120(C792). I was under the impression that updates were pushed out to these phones in Canada starting december. I am on Bell, but the phone is unlocked and wasnt purchased through them. Does anyone know where the Pie update is for this device and how to force it?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Being with Bell my Pie update was pushed OTA on Feb. 19th. I've recently downgraded back to 8.1.0.120 via HiSuite to clean flash the Pie update to try and resolve Bluetooth and GPS problems but when I got my P20 Pro back to Oreo it seemed like I couldn't update back to Pie. Looks as though they've pulled the Pie 9.0.0.178 update in preparation for the next update which looks like will be 9.0.0.213. Guessing we're stuck on Oreo until then.

You could always try the Firmware Finder update method. Seems to work for some.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dutch77er:
ok, good to know! Thanks man!

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

Can someone tell me how to upload the Pie 9.0.0.178 to my Huawei P20? I installed the Firmware finder app on my phone, but it says my EMUI version is not supported (8.1). I read that i needed to do this through a TWRP method, but not sure the process. Can anyone give me a coles notes version on how to do this? I am currently on CLT-L04 8.1.0.120(C792)

Thanks experts!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Wow, that's quite a whole other can of worms there.

Your best bet would be to search XDA, lots of useful info on the update process using Firmware Finder for the P20 Pro to be found. Ain't no use for anybody to just repeat something that's been discussed many, many times.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
You don't need root or twrp. And ignore the not supported pop up when you open the app. It's irrelevant unless you in emui 9

This forum has all the information you need.

To recap as I stated before in this forum,

You will need access to your router for this to work.

And before you do that make sure you get the update is approved message when you ask for confirmation of the update in firmware finder.

Hold the check for approval button of the os you want to install on your phone. If it's not approved, it might not work. But you can always try without approval.

You have to go to the update using erecovery option on the app and copy that dns numbers (starting with 188) and paste it on your router settings. If you don't know how to change or access your router please google this info.

Anyways. Then follow the process on firmware finder from the "update using erecovery option" then when you finish that, turn off your phone.

And when turning it back on, make sure its connected to a power source, then hold the power button and volume up simultaneously until the logo shows up. Then let go of power button but keep holding volume up key.

And from there try to check for updates.

Some have said it takes couple of tried to show up and some say it gave them info failed error after being done downloading but on the installing process.

Give us a heads up on what happens thanks.

And try the new (213) update too rather than just the (178) update. To help us and keep us updates as well. Thanks
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
so Huawei is finally updating the p20 pro monthly now. good for them I'm on emui 9.78 gonna wait for the March update.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] crixley:
How is the performance on this phone?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:

Looks like fido customers will be getting a gps fix and February security update rolling out on the 21.

If i put a fido sim in my phone would i be able to get these updates also since it seems like virgin don't really care about updates .
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Apparently February security update is coming March 21 for rogers
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Kbird1:
I returned my P20 Pro....both of them (to Rogers) as they couldn't fix or help with the low call volume and static / echo on Calls. One tech advised me to set the Phone to 3G only ...and I think it helped, but Rogers also wants $1000 for this phone according to my device Balance so it went back..... not sure if I should try again or wait....
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Well it's up to you.

Not everyone likes this phone. I personally love it.

But now if you do buy it then buy it unlocked or from somewhere else as it's cheaper than it was when it came out.

Much less than $1000 and even $600 probably. You never know
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Kbird1:
It wasn't that I didn't like the phone, it just seemed like the only fix for the Low Call Volume and the Static was to not use LTE or VoLTE, the last straw was the GPS issue with Emui9.0, so I am back using My Nexus 6p which is now on it's 3rd battery....

My Device Cost was a surprise see as I saw Koodo doing it for long-term customer for $310 and then $330 2 week later after a $150 GC at the "Mart".
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
That's what I meant. Everyone seemed to have issues with the phone. And so did I but then I downgraded the phone to emui 8 then went back to emui 9 and all the problems got solved. But you can't do that anymore since the update has been pulled away from the device now.

No issues for my phone now. No low volume call nor no GPS problem.

Could be the devices idk
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Kbird1:
Thanks for the Reply ZizzyBoi , gives me a bit more to think about , since you have problems too.

Rogers has finally let me know they have the Phone back , so I need to talk to Retention again ...or move to Koodoo :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Well I did. I don't have problems anymore. But at this point you'd rather wait for the newer p30 which is probably going to come out at the end of this month.

But if you want to save money you can always go to p20 pro as it is a very awesome phone.

You could get the mate 20 pro as well but I wouldn't recommend that phone as of yet because even if the international version has faster updates, (my brother has one from Dubai unlocked), it has minor issues he's been telling me about like most of his contacts he has saved, all became nameless just numbers in the contacts app. And WhatsApp password numbers issue... To name a few. But it could be just his device idk.

But it might even be little more expensive than the p20 pro as well.

Your call now.

And no problem anytime
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
p30 pro is almost outttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
Hum. Any of you guys who are running .178 (9.0) who can try something ?

Simply boot in Erecovery and try to download, here it fail 100% of the time. (no need of FF here)

So if someone "brick" or softbrick their phone, they are stuck with a brick running 9.0.0.178 if it's

the same result I had.

I was playing again with my P20 pro and had to jump back to Oreo for testing.

Now, i'm stuck again with 8.1.120, FF have nothing approved and hisuite or whatever

say I'm on the last version of Android..

They removed "AGAIN" the update ?

John
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Kbird1:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] CreepingMunster:
Anybody try these updates yet?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
You using clt04 792 version of the phone? (Canadian model?) or did you change regions?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] CreepingMunster:
No change in region. Using CLT -L04
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
I don't get all these different models when I picked my specific model number.

I don't even know if that's going to work for my device so not going to downgrade and try that. Really enjoying the emui 9 on my phone right now. Just going to wait 2 more days for the official one. Hopefully.

And anyone try it please let me know which one you tried and which version phone you have.

Thanks
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] blufreak:
I've tried 3 of these that say authorised via erecovery but it just downloads same version I'm currently on, assume that's what they mean by ff doesn't work properly on pie. Tried via dns direct, still does same thing, only route I haven't tried is direct downloading to phone memory and force purely as I don't think it has the same protection eg won't install if is wrong firmware for my handset and I don't have much use for a brick
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Dene_Bluesman:
I have been running 9.0.0.245 for a couple of days now. Easily updated with bootloader unlocked. If you look at other variants it seems they are straying away from region specific firmwares. FF shows the same firmware for all the different variants
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] blufreak:
Don't think they're allowed to as per dealing with UK networks etc and restrictions. Likely just changed filenames to prevent people using the likes of FF. if this was the case I'd be up to date right now on

. 242 but I cdnt even get an authorised .211 to download

What was the filename and where did you get the update from?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
You have unoocked bootloader? How did you manage to get it without locking bootloader?

And did you get it the official way or using firmware finder.

If firmware finder then which version did you download. Would love to know with screen shots thanks
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Dene_Bluesman:
I unlocked the bootloader the official way before they announced the service will no longer be available. Downloaded using firmware finder
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] blufreak:
So, did you download the files through ff download button and install manually or use erecovery/dns update options? You're a different region to me, curious what the current "official" release version is for you.

As say I darent mess any more than I already have without knowing the version I pick is def OK for me as there's so many now it's obscene
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Thanks for the information. You used erecovery? Or soemthing else?

Because that version doesn't show approved for me to install. For me the 241 version shows approved to install. And did you have to downgrade to emui 8 before updating to that version or did it work without downgrading. Thanks. Just want to know before I give it a try and format my phone

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

And surprised to see March security update when rogers themselves said that they releasing February security update on the 21st.

Anyways. Any improvements or bugs? How's the battery life so far?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
Anyone is able to install 9.0.0.213 ? It is approved for installation, this is a build for CLT-L04, C792.

But here, in Erecovery, the only thing I get is getting package info failed.

John
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Version 241 is available as well. Check it out.

And are you downgraded or on emui 9?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
Yeah but .241 nobody know if it's a good build. (beta or not) Right now I'm on Oreo since they removed the update to .178 [...]

Well, I downgraded from 9.0.0.178 to check something with Oreo and now stuck with Oreo.

.213 say exactly approved for CLT-L04, build C792.

John

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

This is exactly what happen when you are checking for update using hisuite.

https://imgur.com/a/5CRhnf0

Nothing interesting, it's encrypted. But well, like we already know, they are using query.hicloud.com (huawai server)

I'll dump the logs using FF to see the difference.

It's sure FF are or was using just fake DNS for updates.

Maybe we can do it local. Without FF dns server. (our own)

Edit: I'll dump the logs too for when we are in Erecovery when using FF dns. (to see what the server reply about getting package info failed, 404 ? 303 ?)

John
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
How do you know if version 213 is better and is for exactly for the CLT-L04 build C792? Cause I can't find it anywhere to check if it's the right version for me. I just see approved no version details etc.

Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

Oh damn that's weird. Never seen that before.

And give that a go and see if it works. Would be cool
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
Build .213 is named CLT-L04C792E5R1P9B213 when you check if it's approved, it say, Models for installation, CLT-L04 9.0.0.213 (c792E5R1P9)

This is Pie with March security update for the L04 (c792) canadian version of the P20 Pro.

Also, anyone who can test with .213 just to see if it's 100% the case we are all getting package info failed.

John
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Oh ****. Never noticed that. Thanks for that tip.

And I wanted the 245 update that the other user had on this forum.

(higher the better for me lol) but not always true

Thanks.

Hopefully it will work. Let me know if anything changes. Gonna try it myself soon enough.

Its only 700mbs. I think it's Ota update that's why you won't be able to find it in firmware finder.

I'm gonna try firmware finder right now and update you
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
Check for the OTA if you are already running Pie, other than that, you need Full Image. (>3-4go)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
No OTA update for me here on pie emui 178.

Hopefully 21 st we get official March update instead of February update.

I really want the 245 version for some reason.

And don't want to downgrade until I know for sure firmware finder works for these updates

I take the Most recent firmware with the approval!!! I dont want to Brick my device toi should take the clt-l04c792 only
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] JohnAJivekat:
Damn, I always forget about the PC version. I confirm, I'm downloading 9.0.0.213 right now.

Seem like the mobile app when you register use the wrong IP to identify your phone.

I fixed an update to .178 like 2 months ago with the PC version, same method.

1. Open FF on your P20 pro and check what version you really want, better to stay with build

that are still having CLT-L04 C792 in the name, register for update, don't shutdown your phone right now.

2. Open FF PC verson, search for CLT-L04 C792, you "can" always try with other version (new names, OVS) but, at your own risks.

To register for an update on PC, you need to click on "filelist" and copy the "full" update (.zip link) copy that link in the proper

section and register. Shutdown your phone and boot in Erecovery.

Here is exactly what you have to do: https://imgur.com/a/09japSP

2.0.0.213 is 5019Mo if Erecovery is not wrong.

The only thing that matter seem to be the IP when you register, with FF PC it's yours.

Thanks to the one who talked about the PC version. I don't run windows normally so I had

to install this thing on one of my PC again.

Edit: Worked after 3 attemps.
