Hi
hoping to get some help on this subject - I am on O2 in the UK and have had my P10 for 6 months now. Whilst checking for Oreo system update (which O2 in the UK have issued to other handsets now), I have noticed remains on B113 version of Nougat with no updates since i received my device.
Current Version - VTR-L09C432B113
Would this be correct? I have seen on O2's community forum that his has been the case long before I got my P10. Just want to make sure that i am able to get any updates when they become available.
Thanks
Not sure how the UK does with their updates but the B113 version was released in March, 2017. Sounds like an old version.
I had this with my Vodafone UK Huawei P10, I just downloaded Huawei Firmware Finder & updated that way now I'm running Oreo

Hi
i purchased p7 while ago and then while i search in the internet i find that there is many models of p7 and mine was p7-l11 and it's australian model but i'm not from australia
so this model seems that it doesn't receive any updates and it's still on EMUI 2.3 and probably will not get lolipop update also
is there a way to make it like global model (p7-l10 ) by install another ROM or something ? so it can receive the updates normally
thanks and sorry for my english.
Why is Huawei so slow in making the official 7.0 update available for every P9 user? A few people have already received it so how come the majority still don't have said update?

Because its not just up to Huawei to send out these updates. If you have a branded phone, the update will actually come from the carrier, this is why the global models (C432 and C636) were the very first to get EMUI 5.0, because these are international models and the updates usually comes directly from Huawei. If you have a Vodaphone branded phone, then you are really waiting on Huawei sending the firmware to Vodaphone and then Vodaphone will need to do their testing to make sure it works (this sometime takes months, even up to a year) with their frequencies and services. So if you are on anything but C432 and C636, its not Huawei's fault you havent got EMUI 5.0, its your carriers fault.

Would you happen to know if EVA-L19C605 is an international model? I'm not seeing any branding on it, haven't received an update though.

But mine is a L19C636 still no updates it's from a carrier though so maybe that's why?

There is a way to check but I cant remember how but I dont think it is an international model. Even if it has no branding, does not mean its an international version as well. It may be up to your local carrier to push through the update.

I am not 100% sure that the L19 Nougat firmware has started rolling out or not but I do know the L09 (both C432 and C636) has been officially rolled out. If you do some research into it and the L19C636 is getting the official Nougat update, I think there is a way to request for a firmware update via HiSuite.
Did not see the above answer, wrote the same, sorry. P.s. Both me and my friend got update via HiCare, not through settings.

I emailed the following to Huawei UK a few days:
Hi,
When is v7 android going to be released for unbranded Huwaei P9 in the UK.
We are so far behind... Others have had updates ages ago.
Thank
They sent the following reply:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Huawei UK Customer Care.
In response to your query, all the Huawei P9 European devices are planned to receive the Android Nougat update. However, at the moment we do not have any official release date. As soon as your device will be ready to update you will receive a notification and you will be able to commence with the installation process.
I trust that the above information will be helpful. Of course, if you have any other queries, don't hesitate to contact us and we'll be happy to assist.
Best regards,
Jason

in Finland, official EVA-L09 OTA-update is out earlier this week....i'm not updated, because don't know if it can root or not.
Seems like everyone else in Europe is getting it.
Sadly, we in the UK are still waiting!

Actually you are not alone, here also in the Philippines although Huawei stated that the Nougat update for L19C636 is already out but not everyone is getting it. I myself (using L19C6363) still not getting the update from the Updater nor in HiCare app. Huawei stated that the update is being pushed batch by batch. Since I got tired of waiting I was able to update by using Huawei updater and HiSuite. But still I recommend to wait for the announcement of Huawei to release the update in your region, there are some who use the Huawei updater got their device brick.

I live in Africa, every time I look for the update in HiCare or in the settings, there is nothing. In HiCare I switched from continent to europe then i took France as a country, i erased the cache in the application and i restarted the update request right after i In the B378.
If it can help.
This is a trick that was given to me by a member who often comes to the forum and who had done the update in the same way, thanks to him he will recognize himself.
I have an EVA-L09C432B375, my old version was the B185.
Excuse my bad English.
Updated today my EVA-L09C432 from B360 to B378 (Telekom Slovenia)
I spoke to a guru from O2 UK who actually had a p9 and was informed that the update from O2 will only be released the middle of next month. Long time to wait.?

I emailed Huawei again... this time they asked for my IMEI number to check and then came back with this:
Thank you for Contacting Huawei Customer Services.
Your device has O2 custom firmware on it. This means that until O2 releases their customised version of EMUI 5.x, no update will be released to your device.
As it is a third party developing the customisations, it is not something we have a timeline for.
I am sorry we cannot be of more help in this issue. I do hope you have a great weekend though!
Best Regards, Hank

Looks like we are at the mercy of O2!
I'm on L09C432 and still haven't received the B123 OTA update yet. Should I be worried? Anyone else in the same situation?
My version is still B113. Not done any funny business to the phone software. I did buy the phone in Germany sim free and using it in the UK day to day... does that impact firmware rollout?
No idea if I should be expecting an update. In Thailand, currently using VTR-L29C636B120.
No update too. L09C432 from Belgium.
Belgium too ... No update B123 still un B113
OK, I feel less worried now! Looks like Huawei are really slow in rolling out B123... and also B120!
latest software is B130 and battery life is improved.
Just received the VTR-L29C636B133 update (Thailand)
Im on B123 in Hungary, Europe
Hey all. I picked up a sim free version here in the UK (L09). I still seem to be running B120 and the device is not picking up any new updates. I spoke to Huawei and they say B162 is the latest version they are endorsing. Phone or Hi Suite not picking up anything.

I'm in exactly the same boat, purchased mine SIM free from CurrysPCWorld - still on B120 and no updates are found whatsoever! Really frustrating - have tried firmware finder and it finds all the latest versions but all fail installation!

Hi, I have the same phone from Currys and I updated it with FF without problem to B179. Then joined the Beta program. After that I did a rebrand to L29 for DS functionality. Then flashed the L09 OEMinfo.bin ( still have DS function ) and after a couple of days I was able to update to Oreo Beta through OTA. But the project in the Beta app is missing.
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.

Just curious if you've been living under a rock for a month. It's out for almost every single country and if you check the forums you'll see the beta has finished back in March
Android Pie is out.... but don't expect it anytime soon on your phone reason being you have the C782 version, this is a customised region requested by the UK network's that Huawei agreed to, so updates are very few and far between hence why your still stuck on the December security patch.
