Is there any way to get approved updates quicker? - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Checked this morning on firmware Finder, it marks the 130 update for my C636 as approved for installation. Tried the DNS and VPN solutions of firmware Finder but didn't work. (I know FF doesn't work anymore for 8.1)
Is there any way to get the OTA faster? For example, in oneplus phones, we use VPN to Canada or Germany and Ota will arrive.

Try using program for a pc or Mac and see if updates comes up there instead

edit

Sometimes changing sim card trigger the ota even if it's a dead sim card from other region.

Updating L09C440B138 to B139

Hi all.
I'm a fairly new P9 owner with moderate android experience. I'm not totally up to speed with the Huawei build numbers. I'm currently on C440B138 and using the firmware finder I see B139 available for my device. This should I believe update the device to 4.1.1.
The phone is on UK network EE and is on contract (network locked) I would have thought that I would see the B139 update on the phones internal updater but I get no updates available.
What do you think the risks are if I just go ahead and update to B139 using the firmware tool? Am I likely to end up with a useless phone if I use that update. The plan would be to update to 139 and use the method on here to update to EMUI 5.
Or do I wait and hope that EE releases 139 and the EMUI 5 update at some point in the future?
Additional - Does anyone know if EMUI 5 includes the adoptive storage feature?
Many thanks

P9 EVA-L19605 nougat update help.........

Ok I have a P9 EVA-L19C605 that's currently on MM B135. No matter what I do I cant seem to upgrade to nougat and what makes it more frustrating is that when I check the firmware finder application, I'm seeing nougat updates. Heck, i'm now even seeing B380. Whenever I try to use the firmware finder to send the update to the system updater, the update is a mere 1.4 gb or there about. I seems as if I'm not getting the region package in the update(and yes I chose download full package).
When the update completely downloads, it gets an error at verifying and then reboots( this also happens with the huawei updater/hisuite method). I really would appreciate any help, from anywhere or from anyone with the same phone model. Another thing i'd like to note, it seems that EVA-L19C605 is the Latin American model.

New P10 VTRL09 question

Hi, just purchased a SIM free P10, from UK,firmware is C432120. Latest security patch is 1st March 2017. Is this really the latest update as nothing found under software update. Many thanks
The newest firmware version VTR-L09C432B180. You should get the updates within a couple of days or weeks. If you are impatient you can use Firmware Finder to update. The instructions are on the Guides forum. The updates improve your battery and overall performance, and introduce new features.
I have used the firmware finder app, found the latest version and downloaded (gone as far as extracting update.app) to the root of the SD card, but fails at 5% installation. What would I be doing wrong - its so strange that its not finding any update automatically (still on VTR-L09C432B120) whatsoever as its unbranded? Any help would be much appreciated
Ah, you are impatient
First, you need to check if the firmware is approved for your device (allow FF to send your IMEI). If it says it is approved, change your proxy settings and start the update in settings. After it downloaded 1%, pause the download and set your proxy settings back to auto. Resume the download and you should be fine.

Firmware finder

I have a P10 running oreo, I'm not able anymore to update my phone via firmware finder neither by proxy nor by DNS.
Anyone is having the same problem ??? and anyone have a solution for this problem????
Thank you.
It's probably because your phone supplier network hasn't verified the firmwares yet?
Many of us have the same problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/oreo-availability-t3757915/page32
all of us have the same problem.

No, I checked the firmware access and it was approved to be installed but its not downloading, I tried to download it manually and I moved it to the sd card to "dload" folder, but it didn't work too.

It's stated on FF site that Andoid 8.1 and some versions of Android 8.0 are not more supported and probably will never be.
The reason is HUAWEI moved firmware database to the new server.
The only chance now is to wait for OTA update.

The same here.
It's because the firmwares that are available are hosted on FF site, and when you start an update you're redirected directly to HUAWEI, where access is closed now.

Huawei Mate 10 EMUI 12 using HISUITE / Hisuite No Internet connection solution

I successfully upgrade my Huawei Mate 10 using Hisuite.
At first i encountered multiple No Internet connection on Hisuite.
I tried reinstalling the Hisuite proxy and Hisuite app but to no avail.
But i managed to download the EMUI 12 using DNS server.
Does anyone know how to get this working for a C636 region ALP-029? I've been stuck on EMUI 9 (officially) but I want to revive this phone since I like the form factor... I

There are no updates availble when using hisuite- that is the issue. I've tried all different versions of hisuite and nothing pulls the update. In the firmfinder tool there is an EMUI 10 update for the C636 region but it never gets offered. There seems to be no EMUI 12 update for that region code yet, either.

This is very odd - my home region is Singapore> I changed it away from that to something else, no luck, then changed it back. Also no luck. I really have no idea why the update is not being found. My phone has never been rooted.

If you don't have a SIM card in it, try that or if you do try a different SIM.
