I'm on Telus, just checked and the .182 update was sitting there waiting to be installed. Grr, why didn't I get a notification? Anyway, the OEM Unlock is unlocked (weird, had to go to the menu screen twice before it wasn't grayed out). Sadly, doesn't look too good for being able to get an unlock code anymore.

Still checking mine. No update. You would think these rolling updates would come quicker. I gather there's not too many people in Canada with this phone.

Heads up! Fido's update page says next update will be on March 6. Includes Feb patches and "some other updates".

From our experience with last patch, most carriers seem to push it around the same date. :)

Just updated to 9.0.0.193 on Bell.
Just checked, .193 is available for me on Telus. Why do we not get notifications about this?! If you have been following Huawei's Twitter it looks like they will be a while before they release an 'emulated bootloader unlock'. The way they are talking they may have a way to get 'root' without an unlocked bootloader. Still in early testing, so far they can't even boot a phone up.

Anyone know of anything new with .193?

Not sure if it was posted before, but here is a download link to stock firmware files up to 9.0.0.201: https://huaweiflash.com/how-to-flash-huawei-mate-20-pro-stock-firmware-all-firmwares/
Yeah, that will only be of help to the people who dabble in the dark arts of forced localization - a dangerous game unless you have an unlocked bootloader and enjoy risking potential bricking. Back when FH was selling unlock codes it was a feasible route to force firmwares with some hope of fallback in the event of failure, for now I'm pleasantly surprised to see Canadian telco's ahead of the curve for a change. On a curious side note, I tried to make an account on the Huawei site a few days ago and cringed when 'Canada' was NOT on the otherwise very extensive list of mandatory country choices. That feels like something they changed recently out of spite.

I got my dual sim version M20Pro from Hong Kong LYA-L29. It is LG screen. No green hue for the first day so far. Don't know will it get worse from time to time.

Curious what model no. the Canadian version are.
I see that you have HK variant using in Canada. I put in rogers sim, but it doesn't brand it as rogers hence I can't use wifi calling. Also, haven't got any updates long time.. Still on 9.0.0.183. What version are you on?
