Is there any benefit of doing that right now without any roms available? Bootloader unlock would not mean it's rooted automatically and ready for things like magisk, right?
The only benefit I see right now , its to update the firmware for those who cant with their actual carriers ( like me )
I also wanted to make my phone fully global ( without those crappy carriers bootlogos, sounds , bloatware, etc )

bootloader unlock : when development begins ( twrp, root , etc ) , before this I don't see any benefits

Hi ALL,

Using HiSuite, it automatically detect the 171 Global update, just after buy the FH licence and select the device.

I will let you know if my phone dies.

my device is LYA-L09 (9.0.0.134 (C69E11R1P16)) of the operator TELCEL in Mexico, only with a credit can I change to the latest international version? Or do I have to also pay the 55 dollars to unlock the bootloader?

I am interested in doing this way to get the fastest updates possible..and my questions are
1. What has been fixed in the latest firmware?
2. Any new additional features ?

Does this process erase all my data? or install as if it were an OTA? you know what firmware I have to select the LYA-L09-CUST 9.0.0.11 (C69) or LYA-L09-PRELOAD 9.0.0.16 (C69R1)?
So far, it has not erased anyone's data. Still it's better to make a backup. You should not select any of the above, you should select from the LYA-Global section. 9.0.0.171

that version does not appear in the list of funkyhuawei
Yes, it appears just before the first LYA-L09. Let me know if works for you, I will try the procedure tomorrow afternoon.

Saludos.
It worked for me ! and didn't wipe my data or my setup , indeed it worked as an OTA

When you get the credit ( after paying for it ) , try to leave that "browser confirmation window" open

Something happened to me when the HiSuite began to download the firmware , it closed by itself several times.
Just open it again , select system recovery and it will resume the download where it left it , don't disconnect the phone at any point .

Saludos a ambos desde Costa Rica
