VOG-L09 is a European, unlocked, single-SIM model of the P30 Pro.
I currently have build 9.1.0.240, which was released in late November.
However, Huawei released their Android 10 firmware for this phone in early December, yet I still see nothing when I check for updates.
Any ideas?

For an official release you will have to wait untill FEBRUARY 2020. More info on my post from here or @ adamlee2012 post from here.
If you want to get EMUI 10 before FEBRUARY 2020, you can take a look at my post from here and flash it.

Presumably, that will wipe all data from my phone?
I can not do this as Barclays, like many banking apps, will not work properly for several days after a new phone/new flash due to security concerns.

YES, it will wipe your phone's data. DON'T update if you use bank app as token or GPay, because they have issuse on EMUI 10. Huawei DID said on those software updates and i posted about it that there will be issues with bank apps or other payment options...
''This version is designed for you to experience new software features in advance, thus giving us feedback for further software improvement.
Below are known issues with this version that may affect your daily use. Do not install this update if you frequently use the apps or features concerned.
1. Some banking apps are not compatible with Android 10. This issue can be resolved only after compatible app versions are released.
2. Some instant messaging apps are not compatible with Android 10, and may encounter issues when sending images. Restart the app to fix this issue.
3. Silent mode will be enabled by default for notifications from instant messaging apps if you disabled sound and vibration alerts for them before installing this update. The alert mode can be modified in the app settings according to your preferences.''
SO NO RUSH for you or other users, just wait for FEBRUARY 2020 or the next dload release which we hope it will be compatible with ALL banks apps

Very much appreciated.
I will be patient.
Out of curiosity; the filename (VOGUE-L09C 10.0.0.173(C431E19R2P5)_Firmware_NA_EMUI10.0.0_050 16EBU) suggests VOG-L09 is a North American model.
I know that VOG-L09 is the standard retail model sold in the United Kingdom, as I have one.
Is the same model sold in both countries?

The name VOGUE-L09C 10.0.0.173(C431E19R2P5)_Firmware_NA_EMUI10.0.0_050 16EBU is the one set by HUAWEI and is not about North America. I have a VOG-L29 C431 and flashed VOGUE-L29C 10.0.0.173(C431E19R2P5)_Firmware_NA_EMUI10.0.0_050 15SFX version and works like a charm (and my bank apps from Romania are working too). This firmware is for EUROPEEAN models that have build VOG-L09 (SINGLE SIM) and VOG-L29 (DUAL SIM) and CUST C431.
I was on 10 little hickup here and there but all seem to work. I went back to 9.1. I did notice my battery life lasted longer not by allot but.. I did notice

Maybe SOT and battery life on the final version will be as good as is now on EMUI 9.1. After all, Huawei did said that those 2 versions released (v168 & v173) are just for us to use and give them feedback, LIKE A PRE-RELEASE firmware, so i'm sure our got to them

Hi mate, I used Barlcays app too and I've flashed Android 10 via the method SilviuO linked you. Everything works fine with the banking app, obviously you need to wait 10 days for the rest of the features to come through but if this is a problem you could try ringing Customer Service up and asking them to remove the temporary restrictions.
Better option than waiting till who knows when it will be released in the UK, especially with EE who are notorious for delayed updates.:laugh:

I'm thinking of buying P9+.
I've been looking xda and I'm wondering, why aren't there custom ROM's for this phone?
Is it not interesting to developers? It's not so new, that can't be it. Is it so good no-one want's to tweak it?
It can be rooted. Is it fairly easy? Root helps
But I really like trying different ROMs and "make it mine"
it's so good out of the box!
After years with Sammy devices, those i flash directly out of box, hardly start them stock ever.
But with P9+ i don't need that, this **** fit me perfectly!
That is not an xda answer...

You know how it is... The more attention a phone gets, the more it attracts new developers and that equals new roms and stuff
Also the fact is that it is rather difficult for developers to actually make new roms for phones that haven't released a "working" source code slash libs for it.
Masze has right though, it works really well with it's EMUI4.1(1), smooth as Google vanilla firmware. Not much bloat at all. And it has a very good theme engine, there is already themes here which used together with Nova launcher Beta looks/behaves very close to stock Android. The phone is very speedy and with a great screen(S-AMOLED), only thing really sucking is the unpossibility to use Googles latest security patches. I use leaked firmware for my region(B181) so at least I have the September patch, but I would really like to have the latest patches shortly after they arrive. That's the biggest con of Huawei.

Although supposedly that was only a partial patch, with Google release a full one on Oct 5 fixing more critical bugs.
Would be nice if OEMs (not just Huawei) at least released security updates soon after release.

Yes I also agree with u. The phone is just amazing. I don't need any custom rom for it as the original functions are so good and so practical.
I saw many people mentioned about security patch but not quite sure what is it and how would it affect our phone? Is it easier to be hacked or ? Anything if we don't update the security patch?
Yes, Google releases security patches monthly mostly because they have been forced to do so by EU and US authorities. The reason is that Android is constantly under heavy attack from hackers and there is several new exploits each month. The most severe is those which takes over your phone just by connecting to a website. Anyway, Google monthly releases patches for those new exploits, the problem is Android is severely fragmented so the only really updated phones are Goggle vanilla Android on Nexus/Pixel or AOSP. Huawei is not the worst offender on being slow, but certainly not the quickest. And there is no known active developer of AOSP for P9 Plus.

I would say that Huawei is one of the slowest manufacturer to bring security updates.
Samsung is nowadays one of the fastest.
One bad example is P9 Plus. Huawei flagship (before Mate 9) and still the latest security update is from June and we are already on December.
That's six month after Google releases.
Pay 700$ for a phone and have no support from manufacturer afterwards. Welcome to Huawei customer...

They do have reasonably quick support, but only for certain markets. Earlier today I installed a rom with security patches for November made for the operator Telekom. It works alright but it's certainly not official for my country. For the Chinese market they are already on Android 7 Nougat. One wishes they could synchronize their releases a LOT better.

Same problem
I'm in the UK and still no update. Not sure if it's landed in the UK for anyone to be honest. All previous updates have been OTA and I've not tried to flash anything or root my phone. On the Three network. Still on 4.1 and EVA-L09C432B166
The rollout of V7 for the P9 in the UK is really weird... Some people have it and some dont. A guy on here said he got the update & was with Three and in the UK. Here we have someone saying the exact opposite.
Can anyone work out this complex rollout method?
I bought mine from O2, It was Unlocked and Unbranded. I too am waiting for the update although mine is currently on EVA-L09C432B182

I'm on O2 UK too in the UK. No update for me either. I am on LO9C40B190. I emailed Huawei and got the usual speel about we understand your frustrations blah blah. They said they have released the update and it is now down to your carrier to release the update. Funny how O2 blame Huawei and then Huawei blame the carrier. I would just be happy to update manually with with a clear guide that should be provided and supported by Huawei.
Its rolling in batches(30000 i think)
But not via normal "settings->update" options but via HiCare, early access. So check that out few times a week. I got mine few weeks ago when I noticed info from HiCare.
I think its still in RC mode, so its not released fully.
PS. Please dont use such big font, especially in that style, I think even kids would not use ComicSans... especially in XDA forum...
So I think we just have to wait

So are you saying that Settings-Update is useless? The last OTA update I got (to B182) was thru this.
If I go into HiCare and select "Service", "OS update early adopters" it says "No Updates avialable"
If I go into HiCare and select "Me", "Check for updates" after checking it ells me "The current version is up to date"
Seems like Huawei are really confusing the hell out of people and making it as complicated as possible...
O2 are just as useless!
Apple have this properly sorted in that when its out, its out for everyone.
Can I ask everyone on O2 UK to email Huawei to ask about updates. If enough people ask they might lean on O2 to get there act together and release it.

I didnt said its useless. Read whole post. I said that right now its in RC mode(""Release Candidate"", its version after beta just before official release). I said that because its look like that, im not expert in that topic.
And no Huawei dont confuse people, its more about XDA and we(users) confuse each other, because If official update would be OFFICIAL, you would get it via normal update release.
But right now its not official, just like name suggest, its: ""OS update early adopters"". So its LIMITED to batch of devices every few weeks(i think, its just look like that).
Because that how I got last update, via that option, just like that I checked HiCare and saw notification that there is early update for 30000 users.
Not to mention that if you have branded phone from operator... Huawei actually have nothing to do with your update, because... guess what? you bought branded phone so operator is responsible for your updates! Simple as HeII.
Also dont compare Android update to Apple update, because:
1. Apple have just one model of phone and tablet with about 4 version supported right now(older devices)
2. They have the same system design and functions, beside few separate features of newer devices.
3. Apple use their own chip, and have really small amount to things to update in terms of hardware
4. Android is open system used by about 200 companies that use dozens of different chips, thousands different component and thousand different system design and style.
5. Huawei compared to other brands its not that bad, and I actually rather wait few months to have polished system than, for example other companies that throw update "just to be first" and then they need to send dozen of fixes for major component of system.
Also we should get real, Android 6 is not that bad, so I seriously dont understand your hysteric desire for update.
Honestly after I updated to EMUI 5... i dont see real difference from 4.1.1 beside few new themes and few different(and actually weird) placement of few buttons.
Honestly you will spend 99% time using separate apps and games from market, so beside different number of system you will not see difference.
Thanks Akinaro for explaining that. Makes complete sense now.
I guess we just need to chill and wait for the "Official OTA release"
I'm more than happy with v6, however, when you see videos of the latest and greatest... You get tempted & impatient!
still nothing

waiting and wating for nougat from asia
Yesterday received first update since January's upgrade to Pie. Sadly it just brings the security level from December 2018 to April 2019, version being 9.0.0.255 i.e not 9.1. Not only do we have Huawei's arrangement with UK network operators delaying updates, we now have Google under orders from the Trump adding another potential maybe permanent delay. If forum administrator agrees, perhaps this topic can remain open as an ongoing record.
[Huawei P20 Pro CLT-L09 9.0.0.255 (C782)]
[Google Play Services 17.4.55 (100408-248795830)] [SIM-free from Carphone Warehouse / O2 branded via GiffGaff]
Nothing on my o2. Such a shame that this device is not supported like some other brands.

Not really. That thread is not country specific; note I specified "UK" in the topic header. My experience to date is knowing when updates are being pushed in other countries or regions doesn't help much with regard to the UK owing to the special arrangement between Huawei and UK mobile network operators. While one Swallow does not make a Summer, it's helpful to know when a new update is released by one of the UK networks.
I had no updates from o2 since December. Plugged a Vodafone sim in and 255 arrived immediately.

Interesting! As you were just over three weeks behind my GiffGaff/O2 255 update you _might_ have received 255 via O2 had you waited a little longer (my previous update to 168 and December security patch was in January). That being said, perhaps switching sims puts you to the head of the staggered update queue of the changed network provider.
According to Huawei UK twitter feed :
The wait is finally over ?. We’re excited to launch EMUI 9.1 this July, to provide you with a faster, smoother and smarter experience. Elevate your performance: https://t.co/LBWyX0WO43 https://t.co/UMVRath1mO

Are you staying with Vodafone or switching back to O2?
It’s my daughters sim, so can test again another time. To be honest, I have been using an iPhone XS and when I occasionally test the p20 pro again, the indoor photos are washed out and dark compared to the iPhone.

Let's just thank to the Huawei employee who is sharing this with us! Loool
3.1 received OTA in the early hours of this morning.
[Huawei P20 Pro CLT-L09 9.1.0.311 (C782)]
[Google Play Services 18.4.53 (100408-260559365)] [SIM-free from Carphone Warehouse / O2 branded via GiffGaff]
Brief observations :
Just under 4.5GB so long download.
During post-install restart the initial Huawei logo screen displayed for a very long time (several minutes) so don't panic!
Noticeable improvement in responsiveness although how long that will last remains to be seen.
Lastly, security patch level is July.

From some very brief research I believe the only way of telling if GPU Turbo is installed is by the improved responsiveness when running a game that can use it. I am not a 'gamer' so have no way of testing that. What makes you believe the update package content information is incorrect?

Hi All
I hope everyone is looking after each other. I have a G7 plus which I ordered online mid last year. I'm in Australia and I have found out the phone is from Bulgaria. Anyhow it's been a disaster.

Hey Trent, hope you're keeping well too!
Do you know what your software channel is? It's in your phone settings.
I wouldn't dismiss not getting Android 10 just yet - I know the UK just got it a day or so ago and even myself (in Canada, Latin American version from Amazon) just got it about three weeks ago.
To answer you directly, I'm not aware of any way to force the update if the ROM is not available for your channel yet.
Motorola is notoriously slow at releasing and rolling out updates (they announced the Android 10 roll out in January and here we are in April) so hang in there - as far as I am aware all G7+ should be getting this update so give it a bit more time.

According to reddit reteu should have gotten it:
Finally! (Moto G7 plus reteu)
I was under the impression that your physical location didn't matter, just your channel did but I could be wrong.

Whoops, yes. Lack of coffee in the morning when I wrote that!
If that's not possible to find a VPN endpoint in Bulgaria then I think any European country should do because "reteu" is "Retail Europe".
I hope it works although I'm grasping at straws here - I'm on retla ("Retail Latin America") and physically in Canada and I am pretty sure the update came out the same time for all devices on retla regardless of location.
But it doesn't hurt to try, right?

That's just bizarre. What's the address for that site? The G7 Plus is supposed to receive one major version upgrade (Android 9 to 10) and subsequent security patches for a time.
What's your exact model number? Ie. mine is XT-1965-2
What is the message when you try to check for updates?
If your software channel is RETEU you can download the official firmware from lolinet , then use the lenovo/motorola smart assistant to flash it. It will wipe your device FYI. I've personally never done it so not sure the exact steps, but it can be done.
the LMSA can be found HERE
I've also heard of people putting the firmware file on the root of an SD card, then checking for system update in settings and it can get detected as a legitimate update (as it will be, lolinet files are official firmware dumps).
Also someone else has written an update script in THIS THREAD you can try if the above does not work, however try the official moto route before resorting to that as a last resort (also should/will work however).
Hope this helps.
(also i wouldnt be concerned about it being from Bulgaria. If its a reteu xt1965-3 youll be able to flash the 10 official update)

Thanks heaps for that. There are two versions of Android 10. Which one do I pick?
Yes I do have reteu xt1965-3. It's still actually stuck in January 2019 for the security patch

Good job, @digitaljeff! Fingers crossed!
@trent79, did you manage to get your phone updated?
lots of developers received HMS updates on Chinese version devices for test,
we don't even get the internal test, how & when can we upgrade HMS?
anyone have new?
Accordint to them, NOH-NX9 is not MAte 40 Pro and hence not included in the list.
In addition to the issue unable to install GMS (only choice is ourplay), so I really want to use the word "total failure" for Huawei phones international version outside China.

It comes in december. But I'm afraid the GMS install ability depends on firmware region not OS. I hope i'm wrong.
