I am currently on “ALE-L21C432B565” firmware but it seems Huawei released a new one (OTA Updates does not show any updates, most likely B565 is for another country).
http://m.huawei.com/ukmobile/consumer/support/downloads/index.htm
HUAWEI P8 Lite Firmware(ALE-L21, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.0, C02B589CUSTC02D001, United Kingdom)
Would be good if anyone can confirm whether they have it - single or dual SIM? If not single, what’s the latest version for single SIM?
Thanks,
I upgraded to B565 from b133. Had to downgrade first, but I got to b565 on my gf p8lite. She had an update a while back to b575. Have you tried updating hicare and trying an update through there? I'm sure that's how I upgraded.

I had ALE-L21C432B183. Force Installed ALE-L21C432B551 and then again ALE- L21C432B565, however, showing no OTA updates. Now thinking of another force install - ALE-L21C02B589CUSTC02D001. It does not say whether it is Single or Dual.
Did you check OTA updates recently? Is it showing any updates? If not perhaps, B75 is latest, but not showing it on UK support site.
Odd numbers are for single sim variant, it's some kind of beta rom, it's for testing. I can't install this update over b575. If someone wants to try don't install if your LCD is boe_NT35521S. Update b575 is here forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/rom-p8-lite-ale-l21c432b575-t3417082
This is Vodafone specific

Just installed, this is Vodafone Firmware, build number now shows Balong C52B311, will have to reflash my phone now to get rid of it lol
gordonyoung53, lol, sorry man, thanks for the update, I was ready to try this....
I purchased P8 Lite from Carphone Warehouse. I am on B565, checked now using HiSuite and it also says on latest version. Checked About>Certification, and says Serbia, lol....Must have installed a Serbian version.
What is the current Single SIM UK version?
And where can I download it to install via force method.
Hi buddimanv, cant find a uk version, i'm on b574, also serbia version from sokkoban page
It's not serbian version, it's just certificate because serbia has different lows then EU. gordonyoung53 b589 is for single sim, I think your phone is dual sim because your previous build was b574, and buddimanv you need to manually update to b575 single sim, link is forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/rom-p8-lite-ale-l21c432b575-t3417082
Thanks Ker21 for clarifying, will checkout B75. Also seen a ALE L21C432B581 on following link - wondering whether this is the latest ROM? I am assuming b589 is for Vodafone?

If i read correct yor build is b183, that's mean that your phone is single sim and you need to install single sim variant, b575 is the latest one.
B581 for some reason fails to install. It's ota update, not the full rom. Install b575.
B589 is some kind of beta rom, on phone information there is a one more line with cut bild c02, some thing like that. Sorry for my English.
Cheers Ker21, yes, my phone is a single sim, originally had ALE-L21C432B183, then upgraded to ALE-L21C432B551, and then ALE-L21C432B565.
Sorry, I missed your previous post #4....Out of interest, you mentioned about LCD boe_NT35521S, where can I check this?
That's display numbers is only important for b589, because as I wrote it before it's some kind of beta rom. Just download b575, copy dload folder to root of your sd card and dial *#*#2846579#*#*, then 4. software upgrade>SDCard upgrade
Cheers Ker21, will update to B575, thanks
Any result about the B589 firmware?
This beta shows that I am in roaming and I can't use my mobile data...any advice?
After reading the whole discussion ... it's a single sim, and is from Vodafone.

Can someone explain to me where the different P20 Pro variants are from? I'm not talking about the L29, L09 and so on, but about c432, c652 etc. From what I've read one the forums so far, I reckon the L-29, c432 version which I have is the "best", however I haven't received the 131 update yet (I'm on 120) and that kind of worries me. One last question: my P20 Pro is brand new and after I inserted my SIM card I got an update (obviously from my carrier) named DT. GRC 8.1.0.4 (CT) (my current last installed update is CLT-L29 8.1.0.120 (C432)). The changelog is "-Optimized network interworking - essential and recommended apps" I don't really want to install it because it will apparently install bloatware from my carrier, but I'm confused about the higher version number (8.1.0.4 vs. 8.1.0.120). How come it is higher? And if I do install it will I continue to receive c432 updates as they are released or will I have to wait for my carrier to roll them out?
There is no best variant. The version are devided by World regions. The 432 is the European one. As for the update you got its from your network provider. I got it to too (DT. GRC 8.1.0.4 LT) but after I have received the. 128 version.

I don‘t think .131 is officially out yet. I have not seen an official changelog so far and most people that have it seen to have flashed it manually. so relax, it will come when it‘s ready.

So I have to install this update before I am able to install 1.28? I also thought about it before but I was hesitant to do it as the update from my carrier has (C150) at the end which probably means that after I install it my phone will change to C150 from C432 and I don't know the consequenses of that (my main fear is that then my carrier would have to approve updates before I receive them which would delay them even further). But if it is the only way I can be able to install 1.28 and any later update then I guess I'll do it.
P.S. I said C432 is the "best" because I see that anyone who wants to rebrand does so to the C432 variant so I reckon there are some advantages to it (like receiving updates quicker maybe?)
C432 it's the most common version around the globe. In order for an update to be compatible with your phone, should read c432. You can't install other than 432.

But I literally have it resumed right now because I accidentally began the download. I mean how would I even get it on my phone as an OTA if it wasn't compatible? My question is, after i install it will my firmware change from a free one to a branded one?
*EDIT*: I found the below really helpful article which I thankfully understood thanks to my knowledge of German. To sum it up, it basically says that it is natural for P20 Pro users to get an update from their carrier as soon as they insert a SIM card on their phone. It may appear to be a different firmware version (like in my case which was C150), however the update will only install a couple of apps from your carrier (which you are going to be able to uninstall anyway) and that it won't interfere neither with how quick and the way you receive updates nor your device's firmware variant. Here is the link to the article: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/huawei-p20-pro.3297/faq-branding-beim-huawei-p20-pro.876843.html
I think it should be pinned somewhere as I believe it would help more people because I've seen plenty others wondering the same thing
Can confirm that right after I installed the carrier update, version 128 was made available to download and the phone remained as C432. Problem solved, thanks Android-Hilfe.
In my case I receive the 128 first and after that the provider update. Now I'm waiting for the 131 or 132 update that's being released for c432.

Hi guys
I recently bought a p10 version l29 and my region is c432
I searched for updates but it tells me there is no updates
This is the latest version ?
You are in EMUI 5 & Android version 7. I have also a P10 L29 and after auto updat it is now in EMUI 8 & Android version 8. I am in South Asia.

You got it through OTA ?
Yes OTA. My phone is not rooted.
Huawei hast a miserable update politic.
No one knows how it works and why some devices are getting updated immediately and others not.
EMUI8 should be rolled out for everyone. Maybe your IMEI is not in their system or your phone is rebranded and Huawei won't update because IMEI and region are not fitting together.
You can try Firmware Finder app by TeamMT to update. It works until newer Oreo versions. You can also check Firmware Access in this app, maybe you can update through it.
Or you try to ask Huaweis support, but it's not very good and professional in most countries.

Which of these should i install in order not to lose my data ?
Thank you
Try OTA first, if this doesn't work FullOTA.
There's always a risk losing your data while updating, even with official methods.
If you want to lower this risk try the latest version called "(Full)OTA-PV". This is the public version.
I never had any issues with updating using Firmware Finders files.

Not global, C636 is an Asian version. There are beta tests in some European countries and sometimes Huawei ceased releasing updates completely (I'm stuck on B376 and it's the newest version for my country, even though P10 Lite got 4 more updates and continues getting them regularly).

you're not stuck. change to another region firmware. what's stopping you
@fatjoez You cannot change the region in EMUI anymore, it's determined by your SIM. It's enough to swap it with the one from abroad and updates will show up immediately. It worked for many people, unfortunately I don't have an access to such SIM.
And it's not a bug, Huawei's consultants admitted that by Huawei's decision B376 is the newest software in my country (which is one of the largest for Huawei in EU).
no I mean what's stopping you to rebrand your phone? or force flash another regions firmware?

Yes, look for 'rebranding' in the guides section. You do need an unlocked bootloader for this.

Hi
I got the same model VTR-L29(C636) on eBay from China. Trying to use it in Delhi, but the phone appears to have extremely poor radios. It connects well in areas where the signal is strong, but in weak areas it just doesn't connect at all.
India primarily uses 4 LTE bands - 3, 40, 41 and 5. Band 5 (850 mhz) comes into play indoors, where the signal is the weakest. It looks as if the P10 is unable to use this band, although the specifications say so.
I am interested in knowing what is the connectivity of the phone like in B'desh, whether you are facing the same issues or not.
Thanks.
Hi
Here in Dhaka we have 3G & 4G connection available based on locations in City area. Most of the time my phone connected with 3G and very rare it is on 4G though it is set on 4G.
I have no problem on connection and the speed.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers.
Finally Android Pie official is rolling out, already in China and soon Europe and rest of the world

Thanks, do you have the C636 firmware ?
Hello guys
I am from India and I use a huawei mate 10 pro bought from Saudi Arabia. I was unable to use the VOLTE setting and hence couldn't use JIO sim in my phone. Now I see an update to EMUI 9 in my phone settings. Will this update bring the VOTE option? Help is requested from people who use it in India,
Thank you
It wont. If the phone is bought here or the firmware is for India then only it support volte else you may need to debrand it but that will cost good amount as you may need to buy the BL code and then flash firmware.
I have BL code, which firmware should I be installing to enable JIO volte?

You need custom bin for volte and oeminfo to flash indian firmware.
Volte works on global firmware as well, so custom bin can be of global or Indian version.

The region specific data is in a separate encrypted partition from the operating system and cannot be changed. Also the rom is the same on all 3/3t, only difference is the BT, BL and modem firmware between 3 and the 3t. So your solution is to sell your A3000 and get a A3003 instead.

You can, but as it's the same on all versions of the 3 and also all versions of the 3t, it won't make any difference.
What's different in between all A300x is the encrypted factory partition which can only be changed by OnePlus service centers. This partition also stores the IMEI number.
