After having difficulties connecting my old SX66 to the AT&T internet and many, many calls with Customer Service, and checking/rechecking my internet settings, I have learned that my old SIM card/account is the problem. I never migrated to either the Cingular or the new AT&T networks (I am still using the old [blue] AT&T SIM card). I was told in order to gain access to their internet again, I would need to migrate to the new system. This would mean a new device, since (I'm told) the new SIM cards will not work in the old devices.

Now, here are my questions... Is anyone still using an SX66, one of the old AT&T/Cingular network SIM cards, and *still* able to connect to the internet??? On the other hand, is there anyone currently using a new AT&T SIM card in a SX66 and are able to access the internet???

I really would like to gain access again, but would hate to have to buy new equipment, accessories, etc., in order to do it. Since, I'm finding that the Customer Service reps are famous for giving different answers (others kept telling me my device was corrupt, so I bought another used SX66, but still have the same problem), I want to check with everyone here.

Thanks so much for listening and responding.

Debbie
[Networking] pongothemagnificent:
eheeh dont worry about the "new sim cards" there gonna work on your sx66 just flash it wth wm6 and your done ^^

hope it helps cheers mate

btw: are you selling your old sx66?? let me know
[Networking] chp:
I'm not familiar with that particular device, but I can tell you that the old blue SIMs are still working fine, as well as mMode (the blue equivalent of MEdia Net). You probably just need to configure your device with the mMode settings:

APN: proxy (as opposed to wap.cingular)

Username and Password: (leave blank)

Also, the current SIMs should work fine in your device, as long as it is unlocked.
[Networking] Rowdyone:
The Blue network uses mMode while the Orange/New Blue network uses MediaNet for GPRS access. The SIM card just points to the operator and both networks are still active. If you can not access gprs then it is likely a problem with your phone. Try the sim in a different phone.

* Of course there is an exception to the rule and that is when you initialize a new (replacement) SIM card (Yes, the old AT&T Wireless SIM's are still available on Ebay at a reasonable price) it resets the account in the system at The New at&t and will sometimes correct hard-to-detect problems.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] amascelloni:
Last Thursday, November 21st 2019, I made the biggest mistake of my life... I bought the MATE 20 X 3 months ago and all worked perfect with the EMUI 9.1. Thursday Evening I got the notification that the new EMUI 10 was ready to be installed, and I did it.

Now my phone it is unusable. When I start the phone I get a warning message telling me that I'm using a different version of the operating system. If I press the power button, I enter in eRecovery mode and any option I choose ends with error. I cannot do the Recovery over WIFI, I'm getting PACKAGE ERROR.

When I enter in FASTBOOTMODE, I got the ANDROID LOGO (GREEN ROBOT) and below 2 message Phone Locked, FDR Locked.

Can someone help me?

Thank you in advance.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] thunderbolt128:
Same issue

EVR-L29 C636 I'm guessing? I actually have the exact same issue. I believe according to the folks at the P30 forum as well as Huawei's website, 10.0.0.180 is NOT the final Android 10 update for the Mate 20 X. As a result, you are probably the third, or fourth at least, person with a bricked phone as a result of this update erroneously being pushed by Huawei.

You may attempt to contact them, but I don't think they can help if you're in the States. Mine has a Malaysia warranty (3 years nonetheless) and I haven't even bothered to contact because I have heard they are wholly unable to help.

PSA TO EVERYONE WITH AN EVR-L29 C636: DO NOT UPDATE TO ANDROID 10 UNTIL THE FINAL OTA IS RELEASED. It seems this OTA is bricking devices. I tried for about 10 hours using HiSuite and many different images for the EVR-L29 C636 as well as dload images and USB drives with no success. Once you flash 10, you CANNOT downgrade it seems, unless if someone on the forum has the august wisdom to provide a solution (which would be much appreciated).
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] matmar:
C636 here upgraded with 10.0.0.180 + patch 1

No issue at all.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
wondering if thats what the "patch 1" is for.... :p
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] amascelloni:
Thank you for the answer. I have contacted HUAWEI Support and as you said they are bouncing the ball around. Mine has a Chinese Warranty. I have open a ticket in most of the countries (United States, Canada, Mexico, China and Egypt) and I'm getting different answers from everyone.

The United States support said because the MATE 20 X was not released in US there is no warranty and there is no service center that can help. They have a service center in Texas called mobiltechglobal (I have tried to send an email also to them) but they didn't reply yet and I don't know if they will.

Now they have messed up to push the EMUI 10 and they should fix it.

I was trying to find a service center in Canada that will re-flash the ROM.

I found the DC-Unlocker tool, but the MATE 20 X is not listed as supported device. Have anyone tried this tool before? I will work?

I was thinking also to buy a NM SD Card and try the TWRP, but I don't know if this will work at this point.

I'm pissed because I have paid 700 USD for a phone I have used 3 months. Actually it is a great phone, I love the Camera, the built quality, the sound and the display.

Thanks
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] letschky:
Same here but C432 10.0.0.180 + patch 1

No Problems

What Cust code is your device? Do you happen to have a screenshot of the build number prior to the update when it was on emui 9.1?

Do you happen to have a screen shot of what the update screen showed?

Was your device sealed new when you bought it and from where?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] amascelloni:
The version before the update was the EMUI 9.1 with the patches up to October 2019 (I don't remember the version). The device was in the box, sealed with the black tape on one side (DO NOT ACCEPT OF SEAL IS BROKEN). I have bought he phone on Amazon (NGP STore USA).

Thanks
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Was it a Chinese model? Ngp store primarily sell the Chinese model region Huawei devices. But also the c636 one.

[MENTION=4912203]IAmTheDarkOne[/MENTION] had the same issue with his c636 model I believe.

Also, [MENTION=5670598]filip_pine[/MENTION] did a discussion on here elaborating on what a factory sealed box looks like. The general consensus was those with security stickers on were opened before once.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] amascelloni:
On the item description on Amazon wasn't specified. From the box I can see that the mode saying EVR-L29. Is there any way I can fix the issue?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Hopefully iamthedarkone will chime in for that answer to your question.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] tboy2000:
Is this a potential issue only for C636 and not C432?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] thunderbolt128:
Seems like it, I was trying to search for a solution and pretty much the solution is to sit and wait.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
judging from your post youre pointing towards the possibility of the shop selling modified AL00 models from china that were changed with a C636 cust, is that correct? this in turn potentially leading to a bricked device when a C636 EMUI10 update is pushed to an original AL00 device.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
No, that's not what I was saying. I don't think they can change al00 to a full blown evr-l29. In any case NGP Store also sells global variant, most probably the c636 which op has.

NGP is legit, I bought a tablet from them a while ago, plus they sell their Amazon returns on Swappa.,which I've seen many listed there. He's too expensive for me though these days.lol
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] IAmTheDarkOne:
Correct it was the same problem. I'm hoping when we get some dload packages for 10.0.0.180 we should be able to unbrick it. My current understanding was that my dload attempts have failed because erecovery will not allow you to downgrade from 10 to 9.1 without using hisuite from within android so the hope is that once we can get our hands on a 10 dload package it should just be a matter of using either erecovery via wifi or dload method to recover.

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

Sorry bud. I have the exact same problem. I tried dc-phoenix but it fails to write to system so don't waste your money like I did. If your phone is locked which puts you in the same boat as me all you can do is wait for 10.0.0.180 to come out as a dload package then use otg to update
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
So effectively, you're both currently "decommissioned" mate 20x wise?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] IAmTheDarkOne:
Seems to be the case. Huawei hong kong told me the only way they'd warranty is if I send it to a relative in hong kong to deal with it lol. I don't got those. They won't even let me pay shipping both ways so this whole ordeal with huawei has left a very bad taste in my mouth. I was already choked about the removal of bootloader unlock codes. From what I've gotten here the only way to fix it will be to wait until they release the full 10.0.0.180 firmware and I don't have that kinda time.

I still get the last laugh though. I'm canadian. They didn't honor my warranty and we're holding their CFO lol
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] amascelloni:
Thank you a lot, So I'm not alone... LOL... Now yestarday HUAWEI US replied to my email and they told me to open a service ticket with HUAWEI China. First I don't speak Chinese and also in Order to open a ticket you have to provide a Chinese address.

I also tried to contact a HUAWEI Service center in Italy and they told me that they will be able to fix it, but I have to send them the phone. I checked and the shipping cost are very high. So I'll be patient and I'll wait. End of the story, if I understood correctly, once the full 10.0.0.180 firmware will be released I should be able to use the eRecovery and the phone will be back as new? Thank you guys for your support.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] hsarao:
I experienced similar issue. I installed a beta app on my Mate 20x but did not login using the Huawei ID. After few days, I received an update to build 10.0.0.180. I thought this is the stable update and installed it. Now my phone is soft bricked. I have my family pictures on the phone which are not backed up. My bootloader is locked. And I did not install any custom recovery or firmware. I did not use any external tools.

I tried recovery with hisuite and erecovery but every thing fails.

Are you guys sure that soft brick will resolve after they release it for phone's region. My Mate 20 X is from Singapore but I live in the UK. This is really bad of Huawei to push an OTA which bricks people's phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
The EMUI update via beta up FUT wasn't 10.0.0.180. did you update from 9.1 to 180 or from beta Emui, forgot what the version it was , but it wasn't 180 initially.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] hsarao:
Hi, As I said I did not go through Beta app. I just installed it but could not login as I did not have Huawei ID. I am just mentioning it here for completeness. I received EMUI 10.0.0.180 update OTA. Prior to EMUI 10 update, I am not sure what was the version of EMUI 9. It was perhaps something like EUMI 9.1.x.xxx (November patch).

This does not work as we do not have a service firmware, there is none available for this model as far as I can tell (EVR-L29 C636 spcseas). Still bricked here.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Well on a positive note, it shows that once available it will unbrick it.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] thunderbolt128:
Unlikely judging by now there's zero unbricking firmware available for the spcseas L29. We are just hoping for the eRecovery to actually work.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] hsarao:
Guys,

I have been talking to Huawei tech support on this issue. As I need to recover data from my soft-bricked Mate 20 X, they advised me to get a Image backup done. According to them, network operators and companies like carphone warehouse have the capability to do that. I have serious doubts on this. I asked O2 and one of the Carphonewarehouse shops. They denied having such capability. Has any one come across solution like this?

Also any news on MIUI 10 stable release for us? May be a Christmas present from Huawei :P ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] thunderbolt128:
Keep checking Huawei Firmware Finder's app or site for the firmware is what I have been doing. I hope it starts working by Christmas ??

I've come to join the party. Official update to EMUI 10 through Hisuite has bricked my phone, raging:mad:

I was on 9.1.0.139 before, although I already had strange cust and preload issues. My model stated L29 (c636) in settings but it's an AL00 (C00) device.

Using hisuite and hisuite launcher I am able to download firmware in hisuite and it starts pushing it to the phone and then goes to an error when installing the recovery at 5%. I've tried to install the latest emui 10 I can find, 10.0.0.176(this is the number version that bricked my phone), and the last version of 9.1 I was on with different cust and preloads but they all fail. Any other suggestions or I assume I'll have to wait until dload becomes available?

but can you deal with the super small screen and the even smaller battery on the note 10+? haha ;)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] maria007:
Are you right for the 20x mate that was completely disabled?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Let's not forgot about the standby battery drain either. The best I could achieve on any Samsung was 0.4 - 0.7% per hour drain using WiFi anything under 1% an hour screen off drain is generally considered good.

Once using mobile data and LTE the thing went from being 6 or 8 hour SOT device to 4 to 5 hours SOT device.

Ironically, on the Mate 20x using LTE or wifi makes no difference to my SOT times at all. I attribute this to a few possible things, maybe it could be that my Mate 20x no longer uses TMobile band LTE 66 since it doesn't support it, and or, the Samsung Qualcomm LTE radios are not power efficient.

Either way, if the note 10+ had a larger screen if not same but flat, I'd be all over it. Having owned a note 8 and a note 9 and s10+, I found using the S-pen and curved edges useless, meaning it's wasted screen real estate. In particularly on a Note series device.

Think I'll manage somehow ;) I never really noticed offscreen battery drain etc though. Seems to last fine without charge listening to podcasts and taking phone calls all day at work? Not sure what the issue is there. I usually don't have wifi either. All LTE but in 10+ hours a day I usually get home with 20% battery left. Should put the charger back in my work truck though. The mate 20x was always on a charger when I was driving between jobs so hard to make a good comparison but I do think it's battery life was a bit better.

I would note though that the mate 20x is BL locked and my Note is unlockable so that's one of the bigger reasons. Can't afford to have a phone that softbricks from OTA's
