How to do manual update for my p20 pro? (.133) - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello my p20 pro current version is the CLT-L09 8.1.0.131 (C782). It is single sim and based in Europe. I was told that I could download Huawei firmware finder on playstore and see if there's any update for me.
So the newer ones that are out are .132 and .133 but it was shown that my emui version is not supported. Is it still possible for me to manually update my phone? And the update is 3gb big. Why does it take so much space?
As far as I know the latest version is something like .152 but only available for dual SIM phones if I'm not mistaken. Man.. I really want to latest version because ppl say it's much smoother than the older versions. Does anyone know what is in the .133 version? Are there .134-149 or is it just a leap from .133 to 1.51?

error you are getting is that app isn't compatible for p20 series yet, so that means if you try to run a update from app it would mostlikely fail, since of compatible issues.
You can flash newer copy but it could affect on something i think idk exactly what atm.

Best software version

Hi all
I have a c432 device
I've had nougat since the beta, currently using b386.
What's the best software version to be on right now? I feel that 386 is a quite laggy, as was 378.
Is this just a nougat problem and b182 is where we should be?
I too would like I know this and also is the battery life still an issue on MM?
Thanks.

p9 plus as a replacement - basic questions maybe faq

just got my hands on a good used p9 plus as a replacement for broken moto lux.
i am impressed by the build quality and the refreshing miui ui on the first look.
dont know so much about the phone, tried to look up information but still a little bit confused.
Still on march security patch after two ota updates.
Got the VIE-L09C432B370 version.
Which part of the build number is the one I can use to look up more information? Cant find any faq.
Any way to update to an actual security patch?
Is there a gcam modded apk for the exynos?
Is magisk officially supported?
If not, what the best way to root?
Is miui in some way customizable? Always had pure android or custom aosp roms.
Thanks for your help!
Ok, so:
1- VIE means vienna, phone's codename. L09 is the variant, it means single sim. CXXX is the region/brand, in your case C432 means europe no brand. B370 in the firmware version.
2- there should be out there an ota out there with November patch, if you can't find it or if you want to update faster look for firmware finder: you'll find a lot of guides on the internet.
3- the CPU is not an exyons, is a kirin, and no there's gcam apk, but the official software is pretty good expecially when it comes to full manual controls.
4- iirc, no
5- install twrp and flash supersu zip, you can find a guide here on xda
6- actually the UI name is EMUI, miui is xiaomi's rom name. There are some themes out there, check the emui themes community on G+, you'll find something more interesting than what you find on the theme app.

Does that mean , it won't be upgraded to pie ?
Sent from my moto X4
It probably will be upgraded at some time. No idea when though. For some reason only some localizations are on Pie and the rest are postponed...
You could flash Pie manually if you are desperate to get it, but it mught be better to wait at least if you want to be sure everything works like it's supposed to and are not accustomed to Android flashing etc.

As Vofferz said . It *probably* will. Updates are released by regions. If there are some bugs, Sony may stop the update and/or not release the same update to other regions.
There are no detailed release notes for any new update (as I know of) so we can't be sure what were those bugs and reasons for stopping/not releasing updates for some region.
I'm on Customized DE and I also don't have the Pie (yet). But, I'm happy with my phone the way it is.
Pie upgrade may bring some good stuff (newer API), but also some bad things (like clock on the left-hand side and audio buttons default to media). Also, there were those possible bugs. (Some are mentioning GPS bugs etc.)
But if you must have the newest OS on your device, there is a way to flash Sony ROM from different region to your own device. To do that, you can use Newflasher and Xperifirm tools. Search for them on this forum. But I wouldn't recommend flashing if you're not experienced.

G977B latest firmware currently, and potential One UI 3.0?

Hi, I haven't checked in here much since I first got my phone and followed the guides to update & root etc. It seems fairly quiet in here, guess it wasn't one of the massively popular phones.
My phone is currently running this firmware, but am I able to install newer versions from this list, which all match my phone's BTU code? (Also is there a best guide for updating a rooted phone?)
The other thing is the One UI 3.0 update, the old announcements mention S10 series phones getting it, and specifically include the S10 5G. All the recent beta files that have been made available and announced release dates for the official release version mention the other S10 models but not the 5G. Any ideas, anyone heard anything? Anyone officially signed up for betas and know they actually exist?
Cheers!

MIUI version does not match.

Hello, my brother has the Redmi Note 9 with NFC that in the MIUI version this appears
MIUI 12.5.6, so I download the MIUI 13 updater from the Play Store (early access) to force the update (as I did in another without NFC) and it turns out that the application tells me that it already has MIUI 13... and then I can't update it....
I can't think of what to do to fix it..., with other applications to update they tell me the same thing.....
Maybe you have a branded version, wehre an update may (not yet) be possible.

So, if I download the update package from the xiaomi page and put it in the mobile, it won't work?
Maybe you'll first have to debrand the phone, since the update could be blocked by your provider.
(Some providers use their "special" version of the offical firmware, which may have restrictions or other software modifications. Those modifications take time, therefore the provider's update come always with significant delays to the manufacturers version)
