That's really weird... What I can tell is for what I could understand, is that the xml file only has to do with the supported devices, and it was modified to include the P30 Pro on the allowed devices list. As for the Internet connection, it should only be related to what's on the host file (whether HiSuite should look for query.hicloud.com on the Internet or not).
Just a question: did you try pinging this address from the machine where you're trying to do update? When the host file is not modified, or when it has the "#" at the beginning at that line (pointing to query.hicloud.com), the address should be resolved to the IP 159.138.6.23. If the host file has the modified line actually there (without the "#"), the ping should be directed to the IP address to your won machine (127.0.0.1).

Yes, i know that the xml file is just for adding P30 Pro, but i had to try

Nope, but i will try pinging when i get back to my hotel room. Hope that is the problem

Resolving query.hicloud.com goes to 80.158.19.121, ill try your ipnumber provided

Tried again with another network with the Original method described by @Brotuck and it worked!! doing the ping to query.hicloud.com with the # does find the 159.138.6.23 :good:

It might be a DNS problem, then... The IP I'm getting here is from Huawei Hong Kong (China) and it seems correct. The one you're getting is from Germany (T-Systems International GmbH). If that's the case you can try modifying your hosts file differently: for the first part of the process you'd have to use ---- 127.0.0.1 query.hicloud.com ------ and then for the second part, ---------- 159.138.6.23 query.hicloud.com --------- so your machine would point HiSuite to the correct Huawei server.
If it's a DNS problem, maybe that's why some people can get the process to work and some others can't.

So it really seems to be a DNS problem. You can go ahead and ask the poster to update the process to include the IP address I indicated previously. It should solve most problems people are having, trying to update their phones!

I did try it multiple times now and it works like a charm !

That's great! Maybe you could update your guide on the other thread, informing how the users can modify their host file with Huawei IP address. This way the update method should work for a lot more people, even when there are DNS servers problems.

Before Mate 10 Pro had Xperia Z2, Z3, Z5 Premium. Then switchef to Samsung S5, S6 edge+, S7 edge and stopped at S8+, because i liked a lot Mate 10 Pro and ditched it for Huawei

Bdw, my first ever phone was a Bosch 509, back when i was in my 12th grade, before high school

, in the past century, almost 19 years ago

))

And now, my 2 kids (boy 10 girl 8) have a Mate 20 and a P20 as their own phones.

Today morning ota in Estonia

paullu · Aug 2, 2019

Updated to .185 yesterday and last night phone battery draining 6% definitely not normal. Let see in couple days how is going.

felipy2k · Aug 2, 2019

185 here too ... battery worse than 1.68 IMO , and auto brightness takes a long time to react !

encinocr · Aug 2, 2019

when I got my P30 Pro, an update to 9.1.0.168 C605 was done. I get the message: Your software is up to date

Bwyan Benton · Aug 2, 2019

Interesting. I just got the .185 ota here in Canada. Changelog mentions nothing about camera tweaks or fingerprint tweaks. Yet the ota is pretty huge coming in at over 4gb.

Some regions Huawei takes a long time to send updates...
My device is C605 and I was so tired waiting for the OTA that I did it manually following the instructions of our friend @SLVMSF

Wait for it. Im guessing my update is coming in a weak or smthing like that. There is just no updates avaliable for all devices at the same moment.
