I bought Honor Play directly from Indian website within a week of it's release. Today when i checked the model number accidentally, it's mentioned COR-AL00 instead of COR-AL10 which is Indian Spec model.
Their Indian specification page too mentioned COR-AL10 instead of COR-AL00 which they sent me. What will be the difference between two model, both hardware and software.
I've sent a mail to them asking for explanation, meanwhile anyone know any difference between these two models. Please share so that if it's significant. I might ask them for a replacement of the device.
Update: WTF, their official mailbox is full and the mail bounced back to me. How can a company be such irresponsible?

What do you mean? Please explain.
Since we didn't got any update anywhere, we can compare the details ourselves to know what's the difference between the two versions. I'll post the software and hardware details of my AL00 and if someone have AL10 they can share the hardware and software details and we can compare what's the difference between two. I hope there won't be any.

That's a good idea, can you post the details ASAP? Especially software version details
As of 9/10/2018:
Model: COR-AL00
Build number: COR-AL00 8.2.0.125(C675GT)
EMUI version: 8.2.0
Android version: 8.1.0
Baseband version: 21C20B369S003C000, 21C20B369S003C000
Kernel version: [email protected] #1
Custom Version: CUSTC675D1
The only difference between them is 2GB of ram memory.
The AL00 only has 4GB of ram, while the AL10 has 6GB of ram. I wanted to go for the AL00, but then i found the AL10 for like 30€ more, so i went for it.
Don’t worry the 2GB ram difference is almost nothing. I just bought it because i wanted the latest model of Honor Play, thinking that there might be some improvements. I’ll get back with more details, once i get it. Peace!

Netflix and Amazon are playing at sd quality only. Netflix playback specification also sd and no hdr. I think l29 version play hdr full hd Netflix content. Is there any way i can change this. My model is Al00.

Hi,
as i cant find any information - but looking for buying a p20 pro here in europe - is there any difference between the CLT-L29 and the CLT-L29C? Why did they sell some as C Model?
thx
regards
Thomas
hmmm help
C version ia s dual sim one.
but the CLT-L29 too
I really don't know, where and why this "C" has started. Maybe those folks are just too dumb to read and do copy and paste?
When looking at the true package photos on Ebay, there are only CLT-L29 and CLT-L09 Dual and Single SIM devices for sale in Europe. Even when the headline shows "L29C".
Maybe a China version
Chinese versions do only have a different region code *and* device name, AL00 and AL01, I guess.
I think it is a copy'n'paste error spreading like a virus. In Firmware Finder, you can read that EU firmware is CLT-L09C432B120a. C432 is that region code, B120a firmware version.

Exactly this. All CLT-L29 models are dual SIM and CLT-L09 are single SIM.
CLT-L29C does NOT exist
People are so paranoid
FCC Documents show a CLT-L29(new) and CLT-L29 (before) and they added 2CA carrier aggregation on bands 7, 38 and 41 on/around 1/24/2019 and moved the SAR sensor to the bottom side of the board.

Hi all...
I just got the p20 pro. While searching the forum I saw discussions on firmware upto 8.1.0.120 (germany)...
I saw no discussions regarding the firmware 8.1.0.131 which i got out of the box.
There's no thread for CLT-AL00 Model as well.
Please help me with a method to root this model. I'm from India
On FirmwareFinder, the last firmware version for the CLT-AL00 is 8.1.0.1.109 (05/16), so you're very lucky to have this one.
Where are you from ?
From India... Haven't Nobody else received 8.1.0.131? How do i root it?
It seems that the 131 firmware is an older version coz i cannot find the improvements that's present in 120... Any way to flash 120 in my clt-al00 model?

China OS
Hello,
I got Huawei P20 pro from China. It's very nice phone. But I think, existing OS is Chinese OS. How can I install european firmware? Btw, phone is english but some of the services like Huawei's Siri and other Huawei's applications, some themes, etc is Chinese. I hope, they didn used Chinese for european fimrwares.
Existing version is : CLT-AL00 8.1.0.109(SPC200)
What should be targetted version?
How can I install it?
I never do this kind of things I hope I success.

Hi all, FYI
I've just get my CLT-AL00 chinese version, installed an update : 8.1.0.176 (C00)
I've also installed Google Play Store from an APK which works perfectly. I installed a keyboard normal which kicked out the chinese one. I've uninstalled any chinese apps.
The only (false) problem i have is that i don't know how or where to unlock the bootloader for rooting and kind.. I saw that it can be done with FunkyHuawei after paying 55$ i don't want to.
I really don't understand why to rebrand as google service and apps works perfectly
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.

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).

@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).

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.

Hope this helps you.
