Did you go to the full .212 after or just the incremental with .108 showing on the phone?

Also I went to the "service booth" that the Huawei robots mentioned and stated that they could update the handset with .212

They had absolutely no idea what I was trying to do or how to achieve it. How the **** do these people make a living? No idea what a firmware is. Seriously.

Went to the optus store. Same thing. No idea. They will NOT touch the handset and said to wait at least 2 weeks before doing anything so I could receive the .212 over the air. I tried to explain to them what had transpired, no idea. These people are paid monkeys that can only sell a handset, after that you are on your own.

Cheers

Just got the same small 41mb patch 9.0.0.198 C34E11R1P16
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BelowAverageIQ:
I hate to say it mate, I think we are on our own. No support from Huawei and No support from Optus. Nothing here either, probably because we are such a small group and no idea how to fix it. I had more support on XDA Samsung forums than here.

I cant even get Erecovery to work. Wont connect to Huawei servers. Failed to connect. Cannot get the HTool to work. Cannot get the files for direct SD install. What a **** phone. Going to go back to my Note 8. Waste of ****ing money this piece of **** is.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
I know Optus are useless, I don't know how these small patches were sent out if .212 was the first firmware they did, why did they have a patch for .198 bit suss. Not sure if I want 212 I would like to know if you can get smaller Ota for just security patch. February security is good for the moment, but I don't think that I want to wait 5 months again for the next update to raise its lazy head.

[MENTION=3253730]Darkat70[/MENTION] Did you use the SD method to go back to 9.0.0.198? Did you try the erecovery method after that? Or the HSTool method after the SD method?

I was thinking of using the SD method to go back to 9.0.0.198 and hoping that either the Erecovery will work or the HSTool method. I am currently on 9.0.0.206

I just tried the Htool method, on a fresh windows install on my laptop, followed the instructions to the letter. Hisuite allowed it to go into recovery mode. Hisuite then asked to send my IMEI to Huawei. Then it failed "no packages for download".
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
I went from .122 to .188 to .198 with the dload method. I tried to go to 206 or 212 but hisuite says my phone doesn't support recovery.

I'm going to stick with 198 until someone confirms that a better version using dload works and passes CTS.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] escaflo:
From what I can tell, it seems like the push is done via IMEI so I am not sure why we are not receiving it. IMEI should be the same. I am suspecting that we are not connecting to HiCloud to check for firmware update but some Optus hosted server. If someone can do a scan and see what's the server that their phone is pinging for update it will be great.

After a a recommendation from a fellow owner, decided to call Optus tech support. Call was disconnected 4 times. Last call, the customer "service" tech agent decided to argue about the firmware and its importance.

I have been on 206 for some time and gpayv has been fine. When Optus pushed their upgrade it stayed on 206, but the region settings changed.

You don't want to veer of the road with Huwawei, because it's bloody hard to get back on again!. I would be happy to get to 212 and stay there, but it seems there are so many obstacles. [MENTION=3253730]Darkat70[/MENTION] you are on 210 with GPay. I was on 206 and I thought best just not poke the tiger, so I stayed there and GPay was great since early March.

Well I did it. eRecovery is broken. It just says no package available. Hstools problem same. When I get to the recover stage, it just says "your device is not supported for system recovery".

Magisk 19 could pass Google play check.

Here are steps:

1. uninstall GPay.

2. delete this folder: /data/data/com.google.android.gsf

3. magisk hide these 3 services: Google Pay, Google services framework (com.google.android.gsf), Google play services(com.google.android.gms)

4. reboot

5. install Google pay

now you can add credit card, and test it. Hope this will solve your issue.

That is the reason I'm holding back from updating my firmware. I'm with Optus branded phone with VoLTE and VoWiFi working perfectly. But I'm not on 212 I have used HSTool and ended up dload of 178 which I'm currently stucked.

I did received an OTA but it wasn't upgraded to 212.

I got my BL unlock code already but I haven't tried to used it. I can root and flash the newest firmware but I'm afraid I might lose some of the features mentioned above.

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

I have 210. Works well, but not CTS certified and no Google Pay.

I am going to jump onto the Optus Facebook page and rip into them about not having any service for a customer to get their phones reverted to factory. We will never see a dload for ours with 212 C34E11R1P16 unless someone from Optus leaks it. As we are such as small bunch, this is unlikely to happen.

I am on there as Mark Dutton. I am also on Whirlpool as chopsywa and on The Optus Yes Crowd as Mr Fixit. I encourage everyone with issues to get on and make a noise. Otherwise we all have very expensive paperweights. Huawei are not interested. They will just flick us to Optus and Optus have no interest in providing the dload file, or fixing the handsets. I would gladly pay a fee to Optus to get it fixed, but nobody I deal with seems to have a clue about how to go about it.

Its so annoying when everyone else gets all updates at a regular basis but optus branded devices get it once every 6 months.

Don't know [MENTION=3253730]Darkat70[/MENTION], but I read the software upgrade guidelines from the documentation that came with the 9.0.0.210(C432E10R1P16) download file I got.

In section 1.1 (1) Software version.

Do not attempt to update your phone to any customized versions for countries outside your country of residence. Otherwise the upgrade may fail or unknown errors may occur.

In section 2.1 the Version requirement for this version is LYA-L09 9.0.0.198(C432E10R1P16) and previous versions.

I initially thought that the preload and custom files (for the C432E10R1P16 in this case) were to set this region information, but upon reading the documents, I believe now that the region is stored elsewhere in the phone. I believe the preload and custom files in the dload set are configured to work with the respective region code of the handset. This version worked for me on my phone which is C34E11R1P15, but it is not the correct firmware combination and hence CTS fails.

I think these DLOAD files are leaked from service centres. As C34E11R1P15 is an Optus code, it would have to be leaked from Optus. First you would have to find someone who works at Optus who actually has a clue and then they would need to be convinced to give out this firmware. I don't see why they should not just be public as all they do is put on the stock firmware that would normally be there in the first place.

So the mission is to find a friendly Optus tech (with said clue) and convince them to slip us the dload file.

I am thinking that the next OTA may work if we are below 212. I am intentionally staying below for this reason, but with Optus' past record, the next upgrade could be months away.

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Problem is unless you get a C34E11R1P16 matched version it will always fail CTS. That leaves us with 122 and 212 (and whatever the first one before 122 was).

I tried to use dload 122, but this said it was incompatible and would not flash. File is

Huawei Mate 20 Pro LYA-L09 HW EU Laya-L09C 9.0.0.122(C432E10R1P16) Firmware 9.0.0 r3 EMUI9.0.0 05015KVC.zip

I find that strange because this one does flash.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro LYA-L09 hw eu HLRCF Laya-L09C 9.0.0.210(C432E10R1P16) Firmware 9.0.0 r3 EMUI9.0.0 05015LCJ.zip

I was gravely disappointed as this would have put me in a position hopefully to to an OTA with Optus to the current firmware.

I think the bottom line is that even dload will not go backwards past a certain point.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkat70:
Okay well just downloaded the .246 L29C firmware, which is a dload file. But I might just hold back trying this at the moment. Either wait for a good 212 version. Or wait for a 9.1 dload leak.
