Pretty hopeless for our Orange branded units. It seems we are the latest to join the EMUI 10 game.

Just got official reply from Hi-care rep saying that January 2020 is when my device will get the update. I hate Orange branding!

Well, I hope you are not using banking applications, because when you`ll get android 10 , they won`t work for you. But anyway, just let us know if they work when you get Android 10

I have P30 ELE-L29 C431E4R2P2 and i live in România. I saw that EMUI 10 had been released for P30 series but i didn't receive it so i asked Huawei Romania about it and thay said that this "particular" model will receive the update in January 2020 and it will be released in batches so it may take until February when my phone will received it. What a bad joke is Huawei right now, others received already android 10 only because they had a different region, and here my unbranded P30 which is identical on hardware level with every other P30 it will receive the update only in January-February next year just because i have a different region.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
I had to replace my daughter's P20 Pro's screen on Huawei Service at ESD (the one on Iuliu Maniu blvd) and asked them about EMUI 10 for VOG-L29. They said it will be available in December and it will be released in batches to all the phones sold in RO gradually, so in January all will have December patches with EMUI 10.

It may take some time for everyone, because they give acces on their servers depending on the market where the device should have been sold (ex: if you're in UK and bought a device from Germany that was meant for german market, you're in luck and might get the update earlier than others from UK. If you're in UK and bought a device that was meant to be sold only on UK market, then you'll have to wait untill Huawei grants acces on their update servers).

So it seams that from which market country you bought the device it matters, after all, beside SN&IMEI.

Still no way of debranding our devices from the pesky Orange branding?

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yes, there is. Flash european firmware for C432, insert another SIM provider (DIGI, VODAFONE, TELEKOM) and your device won't get any Orange firmware branding apps or anything else. That means exchanging provider, because it won't work just if you put on SIM 1 DIGI and SIM 2 Orange, for example, it will download branding as soon as Orange SIM is activated :).

I have ELE-L29 and I am on version 9.1.0.240 (C431E4R2P2) my phone is bought in Orange Slovakia so now I am pretty sure I will recieve Emui 10 earliest in January 2020. What a shame, I will never buy smartphone from operator again.

I will need to swallow the fact that I will be stuck with Emui 9.1 for another 2 months.

I have updated HiCare app via apkmirror to 10.0.5.354 (for some people it worked to get the update) but now HiCare app is broken when I am using dark mode, no buttons or letters are shown. Using "white mode" app works fine. Do you know if I am now somehow able to go to lower version of HiCare app.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bogu25:
I understand that but it's unfair and even insulting. I paid the same amount of money on this device just like every german, so i expect the same treatment. I don't care how busy or how small the servers are on Huawei, it's their business. With this kind of treatment they will lose customers very fast.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
1. For the dark theme to work with your updated version, clear cache and data.

2. To downgrade to previous HiCare, just uninstall the update from Settings/App/HiCare (upper rigt corner)

I know and i have the same thoughts as you, but as it seems this is Huawei politics about updates. Every manufacturer has it's own politics and we can't do anything against it. Hell yeah, we won't buy Huawei anymore, but do you think that Samsung or Google with their Pixel's phone are way better on updates? Abiut that, I was reading this morning that Sony offers Android 10 ONLY for 8 devices released in the last year, so i think that we're lucky with Huawei, even if they release the update in batches. It's just that we have to wait a little longer for it :)

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MozezzFG:
For everybody they have provider branding. Just flash non branded version I think then you get the update earlier. Here in forum are posts that show you dieffernt ways how to do this.

To be honest i don't know about Samsung and Pixels, i had only Sony, HTC, LG, and Huawei phones. Sony was the best with updates, than Huawei, than LG and the last was HTC. It's just that i can't understand this method Huawei use to updates its phones. OK, i can understand big regions, Asia, EU, US, etc. but i can't understand why must be a difference between two neighbor countries in the same region, for me it's unexplainable, same hardware, same network bands..
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
The same question i've asked myself when the BETA program was released, why wouldn't they make it available for all countries and get a limited number of participants? But as i said it before, it's their's politics and we can't do anything about, just to wait.

SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] valerio.tosti:
Yeah. It's always the same.

I have 2 friends who bought the phone at the same place as i. Not branded

Both of them got the emui10. Me nothing.

For me the phone works great. And there is not a big change. So why the hassle?

I had samsung, sony, xiaomi, lg, motorola and others.

The best phone i had on updates is the xiaomi mi a1!!!!

Because it was android one.

The other ones i received quasi never updates so i put custom roms on them.

This one is the first i have. Where i receive some updates
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Well, you kinda have some history with updates :P. But you have the only thing that matters now: patience! I'm sure the update will come soon, so this is what we all need ;).

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] wmfreak:
I was going to do that but can't change providers in the middle of my contract period. I have Digi as well but I prefer Orange any day of the week.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
I was with Samsung for many years before this P30 and their updates are fine now, pretty much every month they push an update

But the main good thing about Samsung is this, if you own lets say the G960F (S9) and have a UK CSC firmware installed (BTU), but lets say Germany CSC gets the next update first before you (DBT), you can just download the German firmware and flash it over your own without losing any data, now you also have the latest update, same UK language, nothing changed other than Region CSC, and once your own region gets the update you can just do the same thing again and return back to UK CSC

So you are never left behind with updates like we are with Huawei

And the flashing process is so simple using a Tool called Odin which is Samsung's own internal flashing tool, no need for messing with DNS or IPs or anything like that, there are also tools for downloading the latest firmware directly from Samsung's own servers, just add the model (G960F) and the CSC (BTU) and you've got it

I think I`ll be looking at the S11 in March
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EnormoDerClown:
I am not 100% sure, but i think ODIN is not the official Tool from Samsung itself and is just able to communicate the way it has to with the phone to update it. But installing a (risky!) software, which can brick your phone and download a firmware (which a lot people will not download from the manufacturer directly) and flash everything more than one time (because of the changing CSC) in a specific mode you have to boot extra on your device does not really sound like a better update method than just wait a little bit till you get it from the manufacturer. Like a lot people said now which already have the update, there is really not much that will change. Nobody will have a ton of benefits in having it a week earlier or so than it would automatically happen.

I left Samsung with the Galaxy S4 and it was a mess. I also heard samsung is way better now with updates, but i mean the ODIN topic. I don´t know how many people broke their phone while trying to be on the most updates firmware, which would not give them a big benefit or a benefit at all sometimes.

+1 S11 or OP8 next year
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
I'm a Samsung user too, i've been since S5, S6 edge, S8, S9 and now i have a Note 10+ from office. I know all about their firmwares update history or CSC (which can be modiffied too if you root you device, but you get 1x0 Knox triggered and lose your warranty). But, as i said it before, Huawei has a different way of updating devices and don't forget about the problems they have with the US government, about licensing and usage of Google software. Yes, devices launched before this hassle are ok for updates, but still it affects them in ways we will never know. Hell, before this happened we received monthly firmware updates, but i think that once they've started developping Andorid 10 they wanted to be sure it's ok and people will still buy their products, even if they relaunched P30 Pro with a different back design or collors or launched Mate 30 Pro without Google core preinstalled.

My opinion is that after releasing Android 10 to us all, they will continue to give us monthly updates as before and that the US government will get them out of entity list, at least the telecom part that implies mobile devices production and firmware use.

Cheers,

Odin is a utility software developed and used by Samsung internally.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin_(firmware_flashing_software)

S4 was a long time ago, I joined Samsung from the S5 > S7 and S9

People who brick their phones using Odin should have read more before messing with something they do not understand, it is a very simple and reliable way to update your phone.

---------- Post added at 10:57 ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 ----------

Fingers crossed, since I bought the P30 other than the usual updates you find on first ever boot, I have had no updates at all apart from that timezone 230kB update, day 1 it updated to .193 and has been there ever since

Yea the KNOX 0x1 thing is annoying for anyone wanting to go custom, but I guess it's slightly better than bootloaders being locked like Huawei do (Although US Snapdragon Samsung's are BL locked anyway, Int. Exynos are unlocked)

But you can also change CSC using CSC rather than HOME_CSC, but this wipes the phone

Yea let's hope this gets sorted out soon then, not so much the updates I want, just the knowledge we have not been forgotten already
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sheenswizner:
I was a samsung fan since last 5 years and last month I switched to p30.

Samsung is good in nice UI and some food features but in software updates it's really slow and even after getting updates devices becomes slow down, battery starts draining suddenly. Exynos is the worst processor I ever used.

Huawei is best in overall. Updates I am receiving every after 2 months which is fine. Even I received 1-2mb updates aswell which is great .
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
1. Yeah, it's kinda strange to be in your position after buying a new device, but you've bought it somehow in this transition period, and don't get me wrong, it isn't your fault for buying this device, is their fault for not updating it for the last 3 months.

2. It's a tough decision Huawei took about not allowing us to unlock devices bootloaders, but let's be honnest, EMUI can't be more customised than it is atm and you can't cook firmware from let's say Sony or Pixel or Xiaomi, because the camera and many other things that are Huawei proprietary lib files. On my opinion, if you need to customise a device, Samsung is the best choice :)

3. Yes, let's sit back, relax, enjoy our lifes and as a final though this is just a device that has a purpose, to be used as is. If we're not satisfied with it, we can sell it and get another one that matches our needs :).

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Yea the bootloader thing I am not bothered about, I stopped rooting phones since the S7, I only really did it for adblocking but now have alternative methods for that

The thing that confuses me is that some P30 devices are being updated to 10, others are way behind right back to August, I would understand if no P30s were being updated at all, but as some are that leaves me wondering what is going on. Even staggered rollouts don't take 3 months, and why would Huawei leave some P30s on such an old update while pushing 10 to others? Just makes no sense at all

But this is XDA, this is where we come to discuss such things, we can always hit X and get on with our real lives and forget about phones for a few hours :D

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Lucky you with PiHole, i have a Gigabit router from Huawei (as i pay monthly fees to Telekom for it) and my DNS are blocked, so i use the dns settings on every device that has above Android 9 on it (in previuos Android versions you won't find that setting) and it's ok on mobile data too, stops annoying ads when reading from different sites.

Can't you return the router and buy your own? Maybe one you can flash DD-WRT firmware to, that's what I use, and then you have 100% access to all settings, and more the original firmware did not have

Check if your router currently supports DD-WRT too, maybe able to flash that one, or find a guide for unlocking DNS (I guess you would have already tried that :D )
