[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] YH93:
Hi all,

I live in Europe and am planning to buy a Snapdragon S20+ from HongKong.

I've checked which network bands the HK phone supports and all bands I need are there.

Before placing the order I want to check with you guys if I have a clear picture of all limitations that come with buying a HK S20+ in Europe.

The list I compiled so far:

- No Samsung Pay (I don't care, won't use it)

- VOLTE may or may not work depending on your carrier (I don't care, I barely call and if I call I don't care about the quality)

- No warranty in Europe .

- Difference in timing of updates

Anything else I should take into account?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
Carrier Aggregation may suffer, which will reduce download speeds. I have a Hong Kong variant, VoLTE, WiFi Calling and Samsung Pay work however I'm in the US, your results may vary as you mentioned depending on the carrier. Don't expect you can modify the CSC, you can't change it. Samkey doesn't support HK variants and OXM, which allows Preconfiguration changes for different European CSC's isn't embedded in the software. Updates have come in a timely fashion every month and there's no Carrier Branded Bloatware. Even though the device has some limitations I've been pleased with the HK variant, anything but Exynos!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] YH93:
Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I'll go for the HK version then. Don't see any reason why I shouldn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Rulsar_Tec:
Actually Samsung Pay should work in Europe flawlessly, only thing that won't work is rewards. To be more precise, rewards do work, but the rewards shown are the ones of the phone's original country...

As for the Samkey CSC change limitation, I remember reading a post here about a user that changed CSC from Taiwan to Hong Kong using Samkey...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] YH93:
Good to know. I'm currently not using or planning to use Samsung Pay but that might change in the future.

Regarding the CSC limations, I don't see any reason why I would need to change the CSC.

How do you plan on buying it?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Mennooo:
I bought mine from T-Dimension. Just be sure to order from their .de or .co.uk site and you don't have to pay any customs. Cheeper then the Exynos version here in Sweden. Took about 2 weeks to get the phone. First they ship it from HK to their warehouse in UK then from there to me.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] YH93:
I have ordered the phone from WondaMobile.

They have the HongKong Snapdragon version for the same price as the Exynos in my country.

Also no customs are being charged as they will ship it from/via the UK.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
Very strange. I bought my phone on ebay and it arrived this past Monday. Its on 9.0.0.207 and my phone was manufactured in singapore. I'm in USA and have tmobile. I havent installed my sim card yet. I go to Hicare every hour and hit update and nothing.

Is your version L29 c636? Did you have to change your region in Hicare?

.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] chelojavier:
Yes, L29 c636
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] chelojavier:
My phone was purchased previously used. With just one month of use. The previous owner gave it to me with Android 9, and going directly to the system updater, I could not find any possible upgrade.

It is my fourth Huawei phone, and the same thing has happened to me previously, it was not until I entered the HiCare app, that the corresponding update did not arrive.

Obviously, although I don't know if this is mandatory, I always did it with my SIM card inserted and logging into my Huawei Cloud account.

Automatically I did that, and minutes later from the system update, I saw the upgrade to Android 10 drop. I have had it for 4 months, and there are already 5 updates that I have received.

Yesterday was the last, with the April security patch.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] ptr21:
Used this guide and it worked.

Be sure you have 636. I messed up at first, but all ended well.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] RemoWilliams:
L29 C636 here.. Received the emui 10 upgrade automatically on my device. Maybe it helps if you try searching with a VPN (e.g. Tunnelbear), and then try a couple of countries. Maybe Hong Kong or Singapore (that is if you don't live in those countries already). I remember on my previous phone (OP3), it would sometimes do the trick of detecting updates. At least earlier than would have been the case without VPN. Oh, and once detected, you can disconnect VPN first and then download the update (or else it will be painfully slow, and also you will exceed the 'free monthly download limit' (500MB with Tunnelbear if it remember correctly)). Never used HiCare (Don't even know what that is. Not even sure if I have it on my phone at all).
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
I also bought this phone from a previous owner from ebay. Is your region code c636? Was this huawei phone youre talking about the mate 20 X?

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
How did you mess up?

.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
Hey Remo,

Appreciate that info. I contacted huawei in singapore. They requested phone info like, build number, sim serial #, etc. In the email they suggest I use a singapore sim card. Below is their email.

"However, in order to receive the latest update, your device must be within the region of Singapore and you must insert a Singaporean SIM card into the device. Please take note that all EMUI updates from Huawei are regional based updates. As such, if you are currently not in Singapore, you may face difficulty in receiving the update. Please do provide us the following information for us to check on this matter further for you and advise you accordingly:"

Build number: (Settings > System > About Phone > Build number)

SIM card inserted in the device:

I used tunnelbear and changed ip to singapore. It doesnt work. I'll use a sim card from singapore as suggested. But its expensive on ebay and amazon. Do you know where I can get one cheap?

Btw, is the sim card info huawei requests the same as the sim serial number?

My current tmobile prepaid sim card has been activated years ago. But cuz of coronavirus I haven't paid my bill. Will this hurt my chances of getting update on it?

Is this prepaid sim card good enough? It says Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand....

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] RemoWilliams:
Sorry man, I don't know about that sim card stuff. I live in the Netherlands. I got mine from Wonda, it was factory sealed. I popped in a Dutch sim card (T-Mobile) and that's it. I think mine is from Hong Kong. Maybe it's different for Huawei devices from certain other regions? I dunno.

What your story did remind me of though is the Region Lock thing which Samsung applies: for certain regions, there will be a sticker on the box saying that you first need to put in a local sim and place a call for an x number of minutes to unlock the phone for use with any other sim card in any other country.. But that also/only(?) applies to making phone calls if I'm not mistaken. And I assume you CAN make phone calls on your device, right? So your problem doesn't seem to be related to this. But then again: Huawei's methods could be different from Samsung's, I don't know. Sorry man, that's all I got for now.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] ptr21:
I was pretty sure the phone was 432, did not check. At first installed 432, got softbrick. Tried different versions of 432, no luck witkh that.

At last, tried 636 from the thread i linked, and it worked. Checked, the phone is 636.

But after you used the dload method to update to 10, were you able to receive security updates from huawei afterwards?

.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] ptr21:
Yes , 10.0.0.193 came OTA.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
Hi ptr21,

Ok I dont mean to press the issue. But just to be clear, you had updated your phone to 9.1 using the dload method. Then afterwards you receive an OTA update 10.0.0.193 without sim card or dload method.. Is this right? If so, how long after the 9.1 did you receive the 10 update by OTA?

.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] ptr21:
I bought my phone month ago, refurbished. Emui 9.1 on it.

I used dload method from this thread :

https://xdaforums.com/mate-20-x/how-to/firmware-emui-9-1-l29-al00-dload-method-t3960425

Installed Emui 10 10.0.0.180 (636).

Emui 10.0.0.193 update recieved at the same day by OTA.

My sim card is Estonian, there was no need to change anything.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
Wow.. so you were able to receive a security update OTA after you installed 10 through the dload method. Very good.

I had ordered an Adapter Cable Type C to USB A from ebay. Once I receive it I will use it for the dload method. I cant wait! Thanks dude.

Hi ptr21.. I just got 2 questions on the dload method....

1) I currently have 9.0. I downloaded the 9.1 update. I unzipped it to my desktop and the folder is Evr-L29 9.1.0.310(C636E3R2P1). Do I copy this folder to my usb flash drive or the folder that says 'dload' found in one of the subfolders?

2) Do I need to reformat my usb flash drive? Do I need to reformat it to fat?

I think you must Emui 9.1. installed before Emui 10

But that happened at your own risk because it can also go wrong.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
Can I buy it from you?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] CCJ22:
Yes I have. Here in USA. But I do have issues with 10.1

-In my stock huawei camera app there is a setting to have double tap volume down to open camera when phone is off. Mine never opens. I'm on EVR-L29 on 10.1.0.245

-When I say "hey google" while phone is locked or while phone is auto unlocked (as set to my home location) & I give command to turn on bedroom light it always says "but first you must unlock phone" Yet I have the setting google hot word 'lock screen personal results' set to on.

-When I power cycle the phone it changes to auto brightness every time. Even if I always have auto-brightness set to off.

-When my stock huawei alarm is going off, if I accidentally touch the volume button it snoozes alarm.

How do we fix these things?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Olegder18:
Not for sale. I keep it.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
Don't know about your 1st 2 issues. But for your 3rd issue its "normal" for auto brightness to be enabled after turning the phone on. I don't like it myself, I've complained about it here and to huawei but of course huawei isn't known for customer friendliness. Its bewildering that the company is #2 handset company in the world with such customer responsiveness. I don't get it. Anyway there's a fix for it involving an app that does macros. After you install it you automate it so that auto brightmess is "disabled."

As to the last issue just make sure you don't hit the rocker buttons. I hugely doubt that you accidentally hit the volume button everytime the alarm goes off. In this case you're being a little too picky.

Fotunately all these issues can be fixed with rooting if you can part with 10.1 by downgrading to 9.0 which may be an option you can think about trying. Unfortunately you cannot root above 9.0 since the bootloader is locked at versions higher than that.

I know it sucks. That's huawei for you. Its not a sammy sadly. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] CCJ22:
Interesting. I thought they no longer had bootloader unlocked codes to buy? Did they reopen this?

Side note: I did have an evrl29 that was on 9.1 that I rooted then installed Android 10 from that one thread (it was not stock Huawei Android 10) but sold that phone a couple of months ago.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
About 2 months ago I did see bootloader unlock codes for +9.0 updates but never read any reviews on it nor have I bought one myself so cant comment on it anymore than you can.

Btw I saw an asian sim card selling on amazon thats compatible with about 6 asian countries including singapore. That said i dont know if such a wide-use card will work although singapore is also included or if buying a card made for singapore alone will work.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
Does your chinese sim card have other asian countries including singapore? Did you have to set singapore manually or did the phone read it automatically?

I'm thinking of buying an asian sim card with many asian nations on it which includes singapore also. Wanted to know if I should buy it.

.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jojokoo:
Could you tell me the name of the company that makes your sim card? Or maybe post a link from amazon?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Olegder18:
I don't remember the name. It been a year ago. U need any Asian Sim card. Insert it, u will not get any services. Activate roaming, Change time zone to Singapore, restart phone. Turn wifi on, and go to system update. It's should pop-up.

1) Download Files

2) Copy the two downloaded files (dmcu.img and update.zip) to the main directory (don`t pack the downloaded files with any folder) of the SD card or an USB drive（The SD card or USB drive must be formated in FAT32).

3) Plug the SD card or the USB drive into the unit.

4) Go to the menu of Settings==>System ==>MCU updates

5) Go to the menu of Settings==>System ==>System updates

(Please select the option of Wipe and format the data in flash.)

After the updating complete. Please note the first booting time after system updated will get a little longer.Please be patient to wait and please keep the power on when the system is updating or the head unit is booting.

6)You can delete dmcu.img and update.zip file in the SD card or unplug the USB drive after system updating completed.

Worked like a charm! We now have CarPlay!
