Hi, just a question, I have an honor View 10, I have tried the process and when I insert the imei I have a not approved using the first imei, and an approved using the second imei.... Honor View 10 is a dual Sim phone so there are 2 imei addresses on my phone... The whole process in the end failed the eRecoveey just proposed me the actual firmware installed, oreo 8... Do you think is because erecovery just consider the first imei? Which imei should I put or do you know how to solve this issue on dual Sim phone?

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Luis2k33-XDA:
Try with the firmware finder app in playstore, but if the firmware is not approved is nothing to do at the moment, you need to wait ;)

The 1st Sim IMEI its the right one
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] biobio76:
And it's the one that didn't get the green light... Uff...

Will wait, no other way to upgrade without installing twrp and basically spend half a day in restoring data etc etc... And it's my private as well as work phone, can't do that to risky...

Well thanks anyway and wish you a great end and happy beginning of the year year! Cheers

Hi,

I'm in the UK with CLT-L09C782. My issue is, I turned off the phone, pressed vol up and then connected the USB cable to the computer. I don't get any erecovery options: it just goes straight to updating 5% (but clearly it's not connected to the wifi hotspot). Any help would be appreciated thanks.

question

Hi, couldnt find answer in this thread.. but everything works good so far, but I have version L09 and it says downloading L29.. SHould I proceed with this? I think I read somewhere that it its fine, someone got the same problem, but Im not really sure.. Thank you
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] belloni:
Just downloading this now, very simple. Did it through the app, set up a wifi hotspot, change DNS, it wasn't approved then changed to approved.

Ok I panicked and thought I was downloading L09 when I was L29, so cancelled it. Turns out I was downloading the right software, but now I can't seem to download 9.0, argh!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kurtph1969:
My bad. I had to connect the cable BEFORE holding Vol Up. All good now! Fantastic. How long would I have had to wait for the official EE update......
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] belloni:
So I was downloading 9.0, then stopped it. Now I can only download 8.1, weird. Anyone else having this issue? L09?

CLT-L09C782 iD Mobile UK

Just updated my P20 Pro in iD Mobile network (UK). Got the message that firmware is not approved, but after registering it within Firmware Finder app on the phone, everything went smoothly. Changed DNS on my router, rebooted into eRecovery and it found a firmware version 9.0.0.159 (Firmware Finder on PC has found 9.0.0.168). I decided to let it donwload and install, even if the version was different. After whole process has completed, I have found that it has been updated to 9.0.0.168 (I don't know why was it showing .159 in eRecovery).

Anyhow everything is working fine, just followed the steps to the letter and everything went ok first time.

It took over an hour to download the firmware in eRecovery but it was worth waiting.

Also no data has been lost, everything stayed as it was before the update.

Thanks for the solution.

Worked with Bell CLT-L04 (792)

registered "CLT-L04C792E3R1P9B160 (9.0.0.160)" even though it only states upgrade allowed on long press in android app.

Make sure you register for update access after you reboot your router with the new DNS info just in case your IP changes.

whole process took about 20 min.

Thx

So interesting question now I've upgraded.

All of the carrier changes have gone - good thing, obvs. Does that now mean future software upgrades are not at the behest of the carriers? Do future updates come direct from Huawei?

For me, EMUI 9 on my c782 is so buggy. YouTube stops working half the time and videos are just black, also, camera will stop taking photos suddenly and show "can't connect to camera" message. Additionally, my phone will crap out and it won't be able to store any apps in memory anymore except for a single app. Then I have to reboot a lot to fix whichever of these issues will come up. I don't recommend anyone to upgrade to EMUI 9 at this time.

Thanks for this! Worked to upgrade my CLT-L29 to 9.0.0.163 (C432E5R1P9)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Phone_Junkie:
Thank you very much for the guide. I was able to perform an incremental update via this method on my CLT-L29-C636 previously running on 8.1.0.155, to 8.1.0.158, but neither of the 9.0 options were approved.

Great guide and work-around. I was previously unable to perform any type of update. One item of note in going from 155 to 158 is that scrolling seemed much more smooth on 158 and for this I am grateful.

Edit:

Still on 8.1.0.158 and repeated "not approved" messages no matter what I tried, I decided to turn on my VPN, connected to a server in Malaysia as I wanted to see what would happen if I requested the update via HiCare. I received the notification for 9.0.0.168, and it successfully downloaded and installed.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Macmoc16:
hanks for the guide, after all the steps the firmware is still not approved (c781) I try the same to upgrade to (9.00.170). Once downloaded it locks at 1% in the next step

There are 2 versions of 9.0 there, one is for L29 and one for L09, when you do the IMEI verification step it will tell you which one exactly you checked. If i remember correctly the bigger one is for L09.

Had the same issue while upgrading and just switched.

Hi been trying this do you change both dns to the Same number mine allows the primary to be change the second dns has to be another number. What should I be using? Thanks
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] arty_a:
So I can say now that it's not completely seamless experience.

Battery is OK, same as before - ~36 hours uptime with ~6:30 hours of screen-on time

Performance is OK, didn't experience any lag, everything is smooth, game loading time seems about the same.

Camera seems to be OK, however I'm not such a heavy camera user, so can't say for sure if there are any quality changes.

Notifications settings NOT OK, looks like all or most apps got some kind of "optimized defaults", returned some lockscreen and banner notifications that I disabled previously.

Permissions are NOT OK, some apps lost permissions - Waze (navigation) lost GPS access, ACR (call recording) lost permissions, had to grant it over again.

Overall nothing critical, but just for a better experience I would recommend a factory reset after the upgrade (I personally will do it on the weekend, when I have time).

Thanks again to the OP for the guide!

After a whole low-level format, normal erecovery does not work if phone did not previously get online in normal mode.

I'm ready for smashing the f***ing thing, done everything to being approved firmware, IMEI registered, changing the DNS, server comes back as connected and using the hotspot has been done correct, when I do the final stage of recovery it only ever finds the firmware I'm already on which is 8.x.x132 for the honor play COR-L29c432gt.

I can see it seems to be working for others but can't get my head around why it's downloading my current firmware, it doesn't fail either and successfully installs it even though I'm approved for the 9.x.x.156 firmware. Any help or advice would be great as I'm ready for smashing it honestly. ? Thanks.

Do you use the latest AA version? I have 3.8. Car manufacturer is KIA.

The only issue I had with AA was related to the battery saver, I just turned it off for all apps related to AA (AA, Waze, Maps, Spotify etc.) and everything worked smooth since. It was on EMUI 8.1, same now after upgrade to 9.0

Settings -> Battery -> App launch -> Disable "Manage automatically" for the relevant apps.

That'a a good point, I was stuck without Spotify yesterday because I didn't do it :(

Hi :)

Thanks for the excellent tutorial ;) .

I've used it to upgrade my Mate 10 Pro to EMUI 9

Let me add a little more something that I have encountered during my multiple attempts to upgrade via this method: in fact, even by changing the DNS settings of my router (my laptop converted to a wifi router ), I downloaded version 8.0.0.157, each time, despite all my attempts.

And looking good, it's my box of my ISP that "bypassed" somehow my DNS modified, a simpler way: IPv6 was activated on my livebox 4.

Once disabled, everything started working properly and I was finally able to upgrade my Mate 10 Pro to EMUI 9 ;)

Hi. I was trying few times, I did every step very carefully and every time the erecovery trying to download package of 8.1.0.161.

I've pick the 9 (163).

My current soft is 8.1.0.163 (c432).

FF shows that firmware is not approved.

Ipv6 disabled, also firewall and antivirus. No clue what else.

Any idea?

OK I've done it. Yes yes yes!!

I'm on the 9.0

I was changing DNS in wrong place. I was changing it in the new created hotspot connection. Than I change it also in main, wired connection and fired up.

TIP:

If you have clt 09 and E recovery starts downloading clt l29 that means you pick wrong firmware in FF. Try picking other firmware and you'll see that erecovery will download right firmware.
