Hello. Hope someone can help on this issue. I purchased Huawei Mate 20 lite sne-lx3 in a Latin American country and was getting regular security updates from Huawei. I then moved to the USA and used this phone with TMobile services but cannot get any security updates. My current version is 10.0.0.267. I have activated to get upgrade event in my phone and it says software is up to date. Can anyone advise how can I get upgrades from Huawei.? Tis.

Ok so I just acquired an S6 (AT&T, OEM/not rooted) and I know that 7.0 is rolling out for it and after some investigating it seems that the only way I'll be able to update it to 7.0 from 6.0.1 is if my baseband is at a certain version, which it is not. There are 3 listed updates for this phone on the At&T site that I don't seem to have (SPL Nov 1, SPL Dec 1 & SPL Jan 1) and I'm wondering how I can apply these updates and at least have my phone up to date. I've tried checking OTA updates and also installing SmartSwitch and it says that my phone is currently updated and doesn't offer any patches. Any help is appreciated!
Here's a screenshot of where I'm at now-

No OTA updates if it's not on the AT&T network, sadly. I have an AT&T S6 on Cricket and I get my updates by going to a Best Buy with a Samsung Experience Center inside. They can update it for you. If that's an option based on where you live you can wait a couple weeks, they didn't have the Nougat update yet when I checked yesterday. Otherwise, since it's a new phone and presumably you don't have any data on it to lose, you can update manually. See this thread to start:

Thanks for the tips. I'm on cricket actually so going into a Best buy might be the best option when they get it. Do you have to pay them to do it? Will i get my phone back right away or do I need to leave it with them for a while ? Side question for you - do you use the hotspot on the s6? That's something else I'm trying to get working/enabled.
It's free. I've done it three times and it's been a breeze. You don't leave your phone, you just wait around for the updates to install. Depending on how many updates you are behind it can take a while, but there are plenty of ways to kill time at Best Buy. You can check online which ones have the Samsung Experience Center inside.
As for hotspot, I never use it.
Just swap over my Sim from EE to O2 after reading something on reddit, then checked for updates and by magic there it is May Security Update 2.22A
I originally side-loaded 8.1 few days ago but was still on the April security with no update.
Now i have a feeling EE got some agreement in place with Nokia & other Android vendors over updates if using an EE sim you basically wait like the contract phones for updates, if this being the case then it goodbye EE and move back to Three.
What your thoughts on this?

I have the same problem with EE. But I am still on 8.0 and Feb security patch. BTW how did you update to 8.1, I tried via VPN as suggested by Nokia support but it didn't work.

Head here reg your phone and download the downgrade from Android P which is 8.1.
https://www.nokia.com/en_int/phones/developer
Now easiest way to install it without using ADB is to put it on the phone storage & install from SD in the recovery menu, you might get some error's after it's installed but don't worry about these 8.1 will be fully and error free on your phone, then you need another sim other than EE then you receive the May update or you could try another sim first and see if the 8.1 with may patch shows up.
Edit
also forgot to mention on 8.1 you can enable wifi calling on EE something you cant do on 8.0.

I can confirm also. After swapping Sim, I've got v2.22A
I installed the 8.1 ROM (via ADB) on my TA-1055 last week. Just swapped out my EE SIM for a Three SIM and the May security update was available. I then switched back to the EE SIM and it disappeared. Switched back to Three again and have now upgraded successfully.
Edit: I just realised that EE are now selling the Nokia 7 Plus, so I guess they're blocking / delaying updates until they've completed their own testing.
I'm on ID (Carphone Warehouse's network) and they too are blocking the update.

Could this be the reason for delay?
Do they have to add something to the firmware to enable it?
I am on Three in Ireland and I do not have any option in settings for WIFI calling.
I'm on Plusnet Mobile which piggy backs on EE and have seen no updates since I purchased my phone on release day......
Took my SIM out yesterday, replaced with on old O2 one and rebooted - hey presto 3 updates downloaded over wifi and installed. Everything now working with my Plusnet SIM on 8.1 June security
I'm BT sim and no update. I removed sim, factory reset and got 2 updates via wifi with May security. Put in BT sim and a few days later got the June security upate.
Don't understand that as the carrier should have no influence on updates on this phone as they come direct from Google because this is an Android One phone. I can understand if the phone is from EE (I.e. on contract) as I have an LG G6 contract phone which has had no updates from Nougat and only 1 security update in Jan .

same experience here
1055 uk. plusnet network SIM . bought phone via John Lewis. EE app was instaled on phone
changed to not working SIM fro freedompop and 3 upates immediately. including june security patch
So what happens when you put the EE sim back in and EE finally issue the update?
I was wondering, last month, how\when\if I'd get EMUI 9, since I bought my phone from eBay, from the UK, and it was locked to EE. I got it unlocked. (I live in Ireland).
I have been checking Hi Care, and the System Update, every so often, wondering where it would appear.
I checked Hi Care today and there was nothing, then I checked System Update in settings and there it was. Currently downloading.
I was kind of under the impression that Hi Care would have the update first, that it'd come straight from Huawei; And that System Update would give me the update from my current mobile provider. Can anyone confirm is this is supposed to be the case?
I'm still not clear on who exactly the update came from, but at least it's finally here..
Back in July I got a steal on a new US Cellular Galaxy Note 9, so I immediately threw my iPhone 6S SIM card into it and went through several rounds of software updates. After the last update the splash screen switched to AT&T and it suddenly had several AT&T apps. It didn't TOTALLY eliminate the US Cellular stuff because I had to delete at least one app and change the Samsung browser's default home page.
Due to the iPhone SIM card and some stuff on AT&T's side, it would not do VoLTE or WiFi calling until I got a new SIM and had AT&T use the IMEI from an AT&T Galaxy Note 9 (read it off one from the store). I did that in late August and the only remaining issue O noticed was that my MMS messages will not download as long as I am on WiFi.
I just noticed what may be a new issue: I think I stopped getting carrier updates. Looking on AT&T's site, I see that they have multiple newer updates with the latest from September 18th:
https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...tep_KM1278532?make=Samsung&model=SamsungN960U
My "Security Patch Level" says May 1, 2019, while AT&T's website says that there have been 4 updates since then (latest at Security Patch Level September 1, 2019).
My baseband version doesn't quite match any of the ones associated with AT&T updates, though their May 22nd update seems to be the most similar (AT&T's N960USQS1CSE1 compared with my N960USQU1CSE3).
I recall that the new phone updated multiple times and was still on Oreo before it updated again to Pie, and again to AT&T-flavored Pie. I figure the final update was really just adding the AT&T apps and splash screen, but it somehow stopped me from getting further updates from US Cellular. I'm pretty sure I had an AT&T SIM card inserted for all of my updates.
On that note, I believe I tossed the original SIM and US Cellular does not operate in my region (only showed up here through a salvage store). I'm not easily able to get another US Cellular SIM for triggering it to revert to a US Cellular ROM. I'm not interested in custom ROMs and all that and ultimately just want to keep my phone up to date the same way a normal AT&T customer would after buying theirs from AT&T. I thought the Note 9 adding carrier customizations to match the inserted SIM would take care of all this automatically (half the point, right?) but I guess I was wrong.
Is it possible to get carrier updates like I was getting before? If not, what would you guys recommend for getting up to date and staying up to date? Thanks!

I'll check it out when I get back to my PC. Thanks! I assume it's something I need to flash with Odin?
I have a P30 Pro, VOG-L29, bought in Singapore and the region is Singapore. CUST region shows spcseas. The last OTA update I got is from May 2022, EMUI 12.0.0.134 with the May 2022 security patches.
But I keep reading that others have gotten quarterly updates since then, and that the latest update is supposedly from February 2023.
But mine refuse to get any updates, I checked the "My Huawei" app as well but nothing there either.
Does anyone know if it's possible at all to "force" the latest OTA update? Or manually install it somehow?
This is still a great phone, but it worries me a bit that it's now lagging behind a year with no security updates.
