P20 Pro 9.0 update? (Canada)

[gd6noob]

Has anyone got the update

 

[LonestarROB]

No

 

[StatikBlue]

No and the word from Huawei Canada support is there is no guarantee our version of the P20 Pro will get it.
Still haven't received any security updates since Sept update (8.1.0.120) on my CLT-L04 C792

Same here, have September 1, 2018 update... 8.1.0.120 with EMUI 8.1. From what I'm reading, seems to be around December 10, give or take a few days.

Honestly its going to take forever for these carriers to test and approve it. I would hedge my bets on January maybe February for the pie update.

What I did was rebrand my p20 pro (does cost a little money around 70-80$ cad) to CLT-L09 and on the November security patch if good software matters to you id spend the money, even though it is stupid to have to essentially pay to have access to the latest software.

I agree. Keep hearing people say they've heard/read starting Dec 10th or Dec 22nd etc.. but they can never provide any proof to back it up. It'll be next year I'm afraid fellas.

C605 have new update 9.0.0.161

Las beta was 9.0.0.112..i think is the final version

 

[gd6noob]

I did buy my P20 Pro from Hong Kong, not sure if that will make any difference?

 

[Wiggums]

Definitely. Mine is the CLT-L04 model which is intended for North America, including Canada, Mexico, and the U.S., not Hong Kong.

Rebranding P20 Pro

I thought about this but honestly I got extremely confused with the different rebranding versions out there. Can you tell me exactly what you rebranded to? Did you keep the region at C792 or change it to C432? And just out of curiosity why L09 and not L29? I thought L29 was the European version? Or am I just even more confused than I thought lol.

Honestly I spoke with the admin from ministryofsolutions and he said that the L09 and c432 was the fastest brand to get updates. Other than that I was probably just as confused as you were haha.

Haven't used this before - did a full download of the OTA package with no idea how to rename to install. Having said that I did run the firmware availability and it said that the firmware is not approved which I'm assuming means I'm going to get an error during the update. Probably because I'm still on locked bootloader it's looking for the carrier branded one.....?

I think we still need to wait a little more to see an OTA.

What provider is it ? And I don't know if we have differents build depending of the carrier.

Is the kernel the exact same version on your phone right now ?

Yup same Kernel. Running 8.1.0.120 C792 with Koodo/Telus. Just had a chat with Ministry of Solutions he said $70 to provide bootloader unlock code and rebrand but I can do everything myself honestly with just the bootloader unlocked.

 

[LonestarROB]

Get the "firmware is not approved" on my device too.

 

[Wiggums]

I have the Canadian too but am in the U.S. and there's no update here yet...

Hmm.. I'm in the US too on ATT. You're saying Pie doesn't show up on Firmware Finder for you?

 

[singularoctopi]

Do you think this would work for updating a c792 to that 9.0 firmware?

...use a USB stick like someone mentioned with the update files from FF?
