working update to EMUI 9.1

after numerous fails, here's how I got 9.1 to install OTA

I have a LYA-L09 (single sim) C432 with software prefix ending 238 after changing regions and all manner of things I gave up.

So I downloaded EMUI9 firmware still on V9 but with a prefix of 266 - a more recent version it seems!

I extracted the firmware to a newly created folder named dload on a usb and connected it by OTG to my mate20 and rebooted the phone

while holding Vol + and - until the logo appears it found the update and started installing

when it rebooted i connected to wifi and right away 9.1 was offered to me (downloading it now)

hope this helps some folk, but check your software version to see if a more recent firmware is available and let you enjoy EMUI9.1

Going into the HiCare app main screen and pressing the update shortcut i get this screen acknowledging the 9.1 update and button to go to settings. When I press this button however it takes me to the standard system update screen where it says that I'm up to date on 9.0.

I tried changing from UK to China on the app but when I do so I do not receive this same acknowledgement. I've attached the pic here guys does anyone else get this too?

Every time I try another region it and me to login because it senses I'm in the wrong area or region. Do you guys get that same notice? I'm dual SIM and still no update. Tried China, Philippines, done European areas and no go. Is the dual Sims taking longer to update than single Sims?
