Mate, can you share me the hisuite patch tool? I'm working on that kind upgrade too, but failed at least 10 times with FHhuaweisuite. Really need that patch installer.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
Here's the Tools

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] 370341844:
already got them. thanks anyway.:cowboy:
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kuailan:
I'm not home now I will pm u later. I think the key is not the tools, it's the patch installer. At least to some people who has problem flashing.

Hi everyone. I'm on 183 firmware. Just wondering are there any photo quality improvement in newer builds? I'm asking it because I'm not really satisfied with it. Often focusing issues, washed out / oversmoothered people faces even with Master AI off is a concern. Also the level of details could be better I think (coming from Pixel 3). Thanks
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
I updated to the .198 with the dload method everything seems quite good.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gen5000:
finally, a manual update worked for me ... this dload method is nice n easy. thank you :)

how can I update to the vrsion .211 or .222 in this method? :cowboy:
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
Not sure but I did a search on the androidhost site it looks like they put up a new version every 3 weeks or so for the L09
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gen5000:
btw, my model is LYA-L29 , I presume L09 is a different model ?

... but the update .198 does work for both, hopefully their future releases will do as well !

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

also, where can I get the release info of these updates?

what's new in 198 from 187?

thanks
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
Oh okay the LYA L09 is single SIM & L29 Dual SIM

there's .199 for the L29 on androidhost

https://androidhost.ru/29Fo
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gen5000:
wow ... downloading :D

.222 is out as well ... is it for L29/L09 ?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
Yes .222 is for both models I think but it's only flashable with the hisuite patch method.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gen5000:
well, this time, with 199, it didn't work !

with 198,I had the same problem initially, but somehow whenever much later it prompted up (black/blue screen) suddenly for the update and it worked.

I don't know where am I doing it wrong, but I followed their 'forcible' method (as the last time):

* connected the phone via the USB-charger cable with USB-debugging mode enabled.

* copied the dload folder into the root folder of the phone (in PC)

* press the volume & power buttons for the automatic upgrade mode

* then it showed 'installing upgrade' (in white background), showing 5% for about 3 minutes

* then the phone restarted itself, but with no new update !

Q1) will it be easier to do this by OTG-USB, which I don't own yet ?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
I copied the dload folder to USB, then access the project menu with the code in the dialer *#*#2846579#*#*

Select software update, select memory card. ( With USB stick still connected to the phone)

It should install no problem.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gen5000:
sounds good.

I'll get an OTG-USB right away then ;)

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

do you perhaps know as to why this flash/hisuite method does not work for me while it did with most of the forumers?

I did try several times, followed the steps ... at the end Hisuite says something like "it doesn't support recovery ..."

yes I'd be still curious to know, if you know why :)
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
I'm not sure I have not tried this method yet but I just got my PC back last night so I might have a fiddle.

You can try following this link which an awesome member and fellow Pissed off with Optus customer has kindly provided to assist with installation.

[youtube]bp4k3uFDxf4[/youtube]
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gen5000:
I obviously tried his video as well :) there are only 2 vids about it on YT.

perhaps, you will come up with someth in your PC.

cheers
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
Optus have just 3 business days left to respond and resolve the firmware issue as per the TIO complaint, they have wasted 7 days without response this just shows the mentality of All the Optus staff. They just DGAF about their customers in the slightest.

Bring it on. I'm up for the fight.

yeah, no dload folder ... cain't use it :)
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gen5000:
with OTG-USB I could not update to .199 either, tried it all day yesterday:

clean install, several different USBs, FAT32, NTSC ... all that ... at the end "Update Install Failed!"

PS. while I did the factory settings, it actually stayed with .198 instead of .187 or whatever it was when I got the phone.

is that normal ? looks like, they dont let you downgrade like iOS ?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
Here we go again, here's a message from my Optus compaint representative. As if this will ever happen, what happened to the .188 that was being tested?? ..........

On a positive side, I can confirm Android: 9 Build: 9.0.0.212 is due to be released 20/03/2019 and has passed Optus testing.

I have also requested the Optus website be updated with the same.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with the update or if the update has not rolled out by the 21/03/2019.

For Optus contract phone that manually upgraded to 208, would receive the OTA or not?

Yes, I'm still not going to get my hopes up, they did say at the Start of February .146 had completed testing and was due for rollout. This could just be a repeat.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Quaz1:
Here we go

Hi Quaz

First of all I apologize for the delay getting back to you, I had a family emergency was not in the office.

On a positive side, I can confirm Android: 9 Build: 9.0.0.212 is due to be released 20/03/2019 and has passed Optus testing.

I have also requested the Optus website be updated with the same.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with the update or if the update has not rolled out by the 21/03/2019.

If you want to provide me with the TIO reference number I can help follow up with a release from contract if the update doesn’t go as planned.

Thanks again.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
Unbelievable apart from the last paragraph I got the same word for word.

But I have the escalated TIO complaint in, which someone is meant to get in touch with me by close of business 21st March. I'm still waiting for this one. Seems like they don't want to negotiate with me.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Quaz1:
"If the update doesn't go as planned "

How the hell can an update that apparently has been tested and approved "not go to plan" ?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
I don't know but I have heard this before, see screenshot of .146 firmware which apparently was completed, wait wasn't it incompatible. This is why I don't believe anything that is said.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Quaz1:
The one thing giving me hope this time is he's actually put a date on it this time, not just a vague "oh, 2-3 weeks "

But we'll find out in 2 days I guess

I have re-escalated back to our device engineers.

They are engaging Huawei for an update, but believe the issue may be caused by staggered updates..

seems so staggered that no one is getting it
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] protuger:
As soon as I read the update of Optus Forum about .212 Status: Complete , I tried software update and viola I got a small update for download.

I'm on .178 upgraded by HStool 1.2

Is there a list somewhere of what all versions of firmwares fixed/added? Would like to know what i should be expecting out of 212
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] protuger:
Gpay now is working. I haven't tried it but it went through the setup.

Can you please show me your screenshot of changelog .212?

Do you mean you got OTA 212 from Optus just now?

When I checked my security it says March 2019 so I guess I'm fine.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] garvani:
I foolishly didnt take a screenshot of full changelog, i hope someone does.

Yep OTA of optus .212 is installed

Weird and it says November security patch but I'm on February
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] protuger:
We got the same changelog I posted it a couple back.

I reckon we should try the HSTool method using the update file .212 because it is now certified by Optus so safety must pass.

I got November in changelog but in Device info HW it's March.

C34 206 negative
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Wearevoip:
This happens to me every time too.

If anyone manages to get either 212 working through hstools, or gets the thing to erecovery successfully here, please post.

I believe the issue may be due to IMEIs being blacklisted by Huawei when firmwares are updated through tools like HSTOOL. If I uninstall and reinstall HiSuite then try a recovery, it reads the IMEI then fails saying device can't be updated, call support. From then on it just fails the same way. If I uninstall and reinstall, it checks the IMEI again, which makes me think they don't like mine any more. I suspect ERecovery does the same. I have used both FH and the HSTOOL method to upgrade.

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

Yes on 206. Just a small 70Mb that updates the region stuff to c34e11r1p16. Device still fails Safety Net.

If I could restore to 122 and upgrade I would be happy. I don't care if I have to factory default. Starting to really dislike this brand.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
This also maybe because the device is certified that it doesn't always allow updates?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Maybe cause you used FH and you played with ur router dns settings that's why erecovery wont approve the official firmware?

Try to revert ur router settings or try other wifi network.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BelowAverageIQ:
Didnt change my routers DNS settings. Can download the whole .122 firmware via E-recovery but it wont install it.

Starting to hate this brand as well. I hate this lock down ****. Thought Huawei was going to be different.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
Okay just thought I'd get cheeky, I sent Huawei an email with screenshot and said that I have not received the Optus 212 firmware version. But this morning I received this version in the screenshot. Please Fix this issue and send me the correct update version ASAP.

?

Worth a try.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
What does Huawei mean by requesting Optus to manually push the update to my phone?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mondio:
Didn't know there was an Aussie thread here, and pretty much gave up modding this phone.

Anyway got my first update last night, and had it since the first week it came out, got lucky with a boe screen.

Updated to. 212, size 883mb. Changelog states March security updates, and resolved issue with call forwarding and waiting not usable in certain scenarios.

Nothing about camera fixes, face recog, fingerprint etc like I've seen from other countries patches, though I'm assuming due to the size it's all there like new rom basically?

Sorry never really posted here so can't attach, but if anyone wants screens I will.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Wearevoip:
But had you updated previously with one of the methods available? It seems anyone who has used hstool, or the dload folder, or funky Huawei is not getting updated.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Quaz1:
I haven't manually updated at all (trapped on .122 ) and instill haven't been updated either
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
According to Huawei this should not affect the Optus update, I asked last night. Also they suggested that Optus could do a manual push to my phone....so are Optus really in charge of the rollouts?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mondio:
No I hadn't updated previously, pretty much gave up at the start of the year.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BelowAverageIQ:
Huawei customer support has no idea. Said to take it to Optus to get them to install the latest firmware (in my case the VoWiFi) or an agent (HappyTel). They did not seem fussed about the .206 firmware on it and said it was in the middle of the .122 to .212 firmware batch and was ok. But because the .206 firmware was similar to .212 that is why it wont update or didnt need to update as it is the same.....................

Sigh. No wonder this has been a nightmare. First and last Huawei phone. Pity, I really like the phone itself.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] 370341844:
Next time don't buy from Optus.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:

I have just got off livechat with Huawei and they are not happy with Optus saying that Huawei sending out the firmware. He said it has nothing to do with them. Optus control it all.

https://yescrowd.optus.com.au/t5/Blog/Android-Device-Updates-What-s-the-Process/ba-p/124198

Please request a formal manual push to my phone urgently. I will be speaking with the TIO tomorrow on my case, I will be advising that I request this and need it done by Wednesday 27th March 2019 or they can proceed with action.

See screenshots.

Kind Regards.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DN38416:
What? Is this legit??

Surely not... Posted 16th March? Surely everyone on these forums would be going nuts over it?

If it is, that's fkn awesome! Means you can all root your phone like me and have an easy way to install new firmware updates... and also not have to worry about SafetyNet/CTS Profiles failing (it's an easy fix with a Magisk Module)

I'm so glad I unlocked my bootloader when I did.

EDIT: Ah nevermind... just read it doesn't support new devices in the other thread. Bummer!

EDIT2: Hmm... it says it does though in the description... I'm confused.

"Here we will use DC unlocker 2 client crack version to unlock bootloader of Huawei devices. So using this tutorial, you can unlock bootloader of Huawei P9, Huawei P10, Huawei Mate X, Huawei Mate 20 pro and Huawei Mate 10 Pro etc."

Can anyone confirm?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
And still no update from Optus, what seriously is difficult about rolling out firmware, it's not like it's going to 6 billion handsets at once.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BelowAverageIQ:
I only JUST received an incremental update 70.8mb

It has given me VoWiFi, improved face recognition for unlock but still on February 1 security patch level. Safety Net still fails CTS mismatch. Weird.

Not sure about the CTS mismatch, but I dont use GooglePay. It would seem that I know have what I need update wise, as such.

Doesnt match the official Optus firmware number (9.0.0.212) but must be close enough for an incremental update.

Probably be next year before another update comes out.

Reading over at the other XDA thread, it would seem that 9.0.0.178 is actually the latest and has some fixes for camera features and march security update, plus seems to be SafetyNet stable

It would seem that the support team at Huawei was not incorrect in saying that .206 is very close to .212 so no need for a FULL update. I apologise to Huawei staff.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Quaz1:
my update is coming down now. 883mb

Change log only says about call forwarding and waiting, and a security patch

coming from .122 it reeaaaallyyyy better be a whole lot more than that

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] 370341844:
Yea you're correct. Seems like an increment update.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
The interesting thing here is Vowifi, my volte used to always be intermittent, i would often see the icon in the status bar coming and going, sometimes I can also see calls to my daughter occasionally don't have the volte icon next to them.

Now it seems to flick between volte and Vowifi, so Optus big push to include Vowifi may suggest that their network signal is not at its best and requires a backup method to ensure reliable connection.
