Anyone else here on C782 in the United Kingdom and still on 110 while everyone else is either on 120 or 128.
This needs to be improved by huawei as the P20 Pro has been a success within the United Kingdom
yep.. i have the l29 from three and on 110
just thinking to rebrand because of this
I read somewhere that unfortunately the networks need to approve the updates before they're pushed out as well which obviously adds more to the process. It's so ridiculous that Huawei chose to work this way with the UK model.
In the same boat myself, thinking of debranding.
Not totally sure if after de-branding you'll need another code to unlock again if the bootloader locks down.
If that's the case and they stop the codes then you'll end up without the ability to unlock the phone again.

Its just stupid. I am on a sim free version and from the days of HTC a standard WWE firmware was allocation to the whole of Europe.
Surely something as simple as this cannot be that difficult to implement

Nice one mate, i'm going to do it this weekend.
It looks like I have twrp AND stock recovery installed at the same time.....I can boot both. Does that means i will still be able to get OTAs?
It's my first Huawei....
Have any of the UK network branded devices been updated to 128 yet?
......still waiting patiently on my unbranded. I thought it would recieve updates near the front of the queue
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I'm on the C636 model and also having firmware updates withheld..
.. Whats the consensus on which model to debrand to?
Which models correspond to which regions and which are more likely to get updates or other benefits?
Also.. Does this effect the LTE frequencies used or VoLTE and WiFi calling that are sometimes specific to particular regions?

Oooh I don't think I'd get the pixel 2 mate.
Why not debrand your p20 and give it a chance, better things are coming im certain of that, I mean I hop between devices usually once a year or more because I get bored so fast so I know what you mean but I think it'd be too soon to commit to another phone. Unless you can cover the entire cost of the device.
People in the US may buy it, I'd grab an unlock code just in case too :good:
If your hearts set on a pixel, wait for the three, you'll hate having the 2 the second you see their new one. There's quite a difference between them.

Such sad news, I literally got my device today!
The problem for me is that even though I could unlock my device now, the pull of users and developers to this device is going to plummet to zero on xda , there won't be any (or very few) ROM's, adopters will avoid the device... It's a horrible move from huawei who have a sponsor partnership with xda?? Xda have said they're going to fight it but my guess is huawei may look at their wallet rather than their hearts and stick to their guns.
By all accounts it's "to provide a better service". ???
I have a cooling off period for another 13 days.
If things don't change in a week I'm sending this wonderful opportunity phone back.
Never again

In the same boat mate, received the phone on Wednesday, got the bootloader unlock code sitting in my email index waiting to be used....and now I see this.
In two minds about the whole thing, on one hand love the phone it seems pretty damn great to me, only want to root for 2 issues (not fault of phone, just personal preference) but on the other hand, lack of ability to unlock bootloader will kill the community here. Do I keep it, unlock and just roll with it, or do I send it back and get something else (Galaxy Note or S9+ probably, community there aint dead lol)?
Have to have a good think about it over the weekend I think.

Avoid the galaxy unless you like baggage and more rules, if I was to buy another phone it would be the HTC 12, no doubt about it.

Phones a beast, I personally think Huawei will decide against their decision, by all accounts HTC did the same and look what happened to them
Currently looking at debranding from the L09 to the L29 as updates are more timely. Either that or wait for some ROMs to drop.
I'm keeping it now, it's swayed me.
Although I'd I could get the HTC I'd do it in a heartbeat, epic development on XDA.

Since the phone is treble enabled we can use GSI. So theres no "real" need to have an active development community dedicated for this phone only.

You don't necessarily need to convert from L09 to L29 to get faster updates, you just need to change region from 782 to 432. The L09 & L29 firmwares are interchangeable and are released together but it's UK specific updates that are lagging behind.
Saying that, I don't think there's a way to convert to 432 without being converted to L29 in the process anyway lol

Would like to get unlock code, to be on safe side if I some day (probably sooner than later) want to use it.

Keep hold of the bootloader unlock code you got as if they go ahead with removing the service, they're likely to release updates in the future that will relock unlocked bootloaders on install. You should be able to re-unlock with the same code but it's a pain as an update won't wipe data but then having to re-unlock will ?

Just ordered the P20 Pro today after I upgraded my partners one yesterday to the P20. Its looks a fantastic phone so I had to go one better and get the pro. I got the unlock code for hers and will request mine tomorrow. Is there any need to use the unlock code? I don't plan on hoping for a better ROM as the stock one looks pretty reasonable to me.

Sad to say, the easiest way to repair my U12+ cracked screen was to buy an Exodus 1, which cost $400 at the time. (It's now closer to $500.)
The Exodus looks exactly the same and has the same specs as the U12+. Using TWRP, unlocking the bootloader, and rooting with Magisk was trivial.
Is there space on the U12+ forums for the Exodus or does it need another forum?
Anyone else with the Exodus out there?
Just curious... Haptic buttons? I would assume so.

Hi fellow Exodus 1 user!
There are actually people with the Exodus???
I'm really curious about this device, can you guys do like a hands-on of it lol.
It is about the same as the U12+. The only difference I've spotted are the special back cover (totally transparent. Very cool!) and the Zion app. I was also sceptical when I ordered and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived.
The software is still in need of some tweaks though. The cameras, for example, are lacking the bokeh mode that HTC listed in the specs, and the company promised to fix that in the upcoming update.
It's only been a day or two but I haven't noticed any difference from my U12+. It seems exactly the same, just nicer looking thanks to the slick semi-transparent back cover. (And there's a cracked screen on my U12+, of course.) Didn't realize it was lacking bokeh mode.
I wasn't paying attention when I set it up and unlocked the bootloader without understanding how to make a backup first, so now I'm locked out of system updates and trying to find the firmware posted somewhere.
I'm curious to see if Sunshine will S-OFF an Exodus and if so whether it will run a U12+ ROM. Regardless, given the similarity and the small user base, I hope the Exodus has a home on this forum.

Technically both are the exact same device, thus the Exodus and U12+ even got the same MID 2Q55X0000 for the variants. As far as I got, asking my way from one to another whom received it, they told me some more things, e.g. that even the CIDs are the same. Zion actually seems to be an OS and the Android App thus is kind of a virtual machine that it all up. As Zion is using the TEE and TrustZone of the SD845 SoC, I guess one could convert an Exodus into a U12+ and the other way round. But we'll have to wait for the first Exodus RUU to get leaked if we want to be sure. The other way round we cannot try either, as some already told that software version on the Exodus 1 is something like 1.43. and some already got an update onto 1.47. so no chance as U12+ RUUs are all below, running 1.30. or the like.

apart from software anmd backcover, there isn't a difference as it looks now
ETH price is on the rise again and it's now about 1.5 times the price than when I ordered mine. Still cheaper than the usual U12+ with 128gb ROM though
If the CID and MID are identical then the RUUs would work since that's exactly what stops it from flashing. Besides the version number that might halt the process if its older.
So the phones are identical besides the apps and it's different use of the SD845. Unless HTC manages to push out an update where it changes the CID/MID.
HTC just released new firmware for both U12+ and the Exodus 1. Interestingly the version numbers are fairly similar:
U12+: 1.53.709.1
Exodus 1: 1.53.709.2

Sadly I am an idiot and didn't make a backup before unlocking the bootloader and installing Magisk. I've been scouring the web for an RUU since then and haven't found a thing. I might S-OFF and try U12+ firmware instead.

Hi hoangtu, that's great!!!
Can I ask a few questions. What firmware are you on?
Do you have the same model as me. The evr-al00? Chinese variety? Or the global version? I suspect the global, right? In which case. Lucky you. I couldn't really grab the global as I'm in mainland China.
If you have the Chinese model, did you unlock your phone with a code? Where did you get this code from, I'd like to get my phone unlocked too.
If not unlocked, was it simply a matter of removing the Huawei launcher? I'm a little apprehensive to do this... Can't seem to get adb to respond. I think it's because my bootloader is locked.
Any assistance you can offer would be great. I feel like I'm running around in circles chasing at my tail at the moment.
I have a small window of opportunity (about a week) before I get Ultra busy at work. I would love to get this sorted ASAP.
Edit: I wonder if CNY and the fact that China closes during this period has anything to do with no codes bring issued.
Thanks.

If by now, you haven't received this firmware update from your wireless provider, something is askew and you probably should start looking that. Other than that, if you're not already running on it, you've probably made that choice!
As with all software updates, it's never a bad time to either perform a new backup before commencing with the OTA download, or at least check on what date your showing for the last one (usually, you'll find your handset performs these daily, once every 24 hours). As for me personally, that's my cue to run my backup to my microsd card via the Smartswitch app!
The last friendly reminder I wanted to share witb some of our newcomers that have recently graced us with their presence, is to make certain you're at (or pretty damn close) to 75% charged on your new flagship! The way these new "beasts" we own "bleed-out" our batteries, it's not a bad idea to "up the ante" with the old school rule of having your battery at 50% or more before downloading the update! I saw this same topic mentioned on one of the other forums/channels the other day and thought it was some good advice? Eh, to each his/her own...whatever works for you!

Anyone with new Intel on this matter, please share as a small monetary contribution will be made available(jk)!

Are you based in USA, and if so which carrier do you have wireless service with?

yep, saw that, but you're an Unlocked, Carrier Branded SM-N986U, not SM-N986U1. That's where my confusion came about until I figured it out looking at FOTA!
I know it's no cause for alarm (with samsung, it happens more often than not) but I didn't see a new build # assigned yet for XAA(as if they hadn't started one, but much more likely they just failed to update their system)!
However, for those of you SM-N986U1 users (like myself) seeing this dialog, we could be in for a little longer wait, meaning we may not have Our Update by this coming Monday (3/1), as a few of the websites I saw earlier were speculating!
(We will know more soon, I'm certain)!

**ONE UI 3.1 SOFTWARE UPDATE IS HERE!**
I'm on the unlocked SM-N986U1 connected to Verizon and still no update for me. I thought having an unlocked phone straight from Samsung would put me in line to get the updates first, but I guess not. I was one of the last N20U users to get 3.0, and now the same seems to be the case for 3.1. I saw articles talking about it being pushed out the Note 10's already.

Yeah...what's up with that samsung? You shoot the new update to our traded-in or sold devices first, after we spent more money with you to be last on the update list again?! wtf...
having 986U, T-mobile unlocked from the included app, I already received the update UI 3.1 here in Africa where I am with my job. The SIM card /carrier is Africell.

I have bought two notes from Samsung directly over the years because I was under the impression if I bought the phones straight from Sammy I would get more features and faster updates. But as time goes on I see now that the unlocked phones are second class to Sammy. It seem to me like Sammy can't help but stroke off the carriers and bend to what they want.
Finally got mine today. I am with AT&T

I'm glad to see Samsung always improving their camera function as that is one of their claim-to-fames, one that snagged-me as I've said many times! However, I was sorta expecting to see something thrown in the mix about changes implemented to extend battery life...wasn't just me, right?
Got it today. U1 XAA running on visible.

Yes, Texas and not impressed with it. Much ado about nothing!
Title says itt all, but I'm impatient haha Tried reaching out to TMobile on twitter about it, they sent me over to oneplus saying they only do network unlock, then they sent me over to tmobile saying that tmo is the one that does the bootloader unlock code stuff not them. I've relayed both things to each team so they at least know what the other said, but again, like the title says - I don't wanna wait a whole week to get the unlock code so I can flash MicroG'd LineageOS.
Yeah none of us wanted to wait, trust it's been tried.
Maybe it's possible in some weird way - unlikely. It would take longer than a week to try to create some method to unlock without waiting- at that point what's the purpose?
Patience is virtue, also from what I know it is indeed Oneplus who is generating the unlock code for you, after the SIM is unlocked it's out of T-Mobile's hands.
To be fair I'd be willing to bet the one week wait is just an artificial deterrent from people unlocking their bootloader. My smartphone can render complex 3D worlds in high definition in real time. What are the odds it actually takes OnePlus's computers an entire week to generate a simple code? Seems superfluous.

True. Did talk with support though, so maybe I'll get lucky
I think you simply need to promise that you will not try to return the phone for any reason.

Keep me updated on your efforts and hopefully success with the global rom. I have 6 days until I get my token from oneplus. For $200, this is a pretty powerful piece of hardware. Solid build quality as well.
