Hello guys, is this link legit? They claim that you are able to actually upgrade P20 Pro to the latest update. Link here
I can confirm that the Huawei Smartphone multi download tool is legit, but I haven't tried the firmware update just yet as I am on EU CLT-L29 model and I don't know if the update it is intended for other parts of the world. Also, I don't know if it is the stable version or the beta one. Anyone gave it a try?
I trie to update whith this firmwaare but there is no XML file
After checking the firmware files, these are the images available for the Chinese model of P20 Pro (CLT-LGRP1-CHN). I haven't still tried it, still checking to find if the FW files are legit.

Be good to know if they are.
Bare in mind the beta locked down the bootloader so tread carefully.
Anyone got it to work? Im tempted to try it

So I bought a (supposedly) sealed Mate 9 on ebay as a Christmas present to myself, and it's great! but i'm not getting any updates.. its an MHA-L29, Build no MHA-L29C432B182-log.
I'd previously been onto Huawei on facebook with an update query on my Mate 8, so I queried them about this phone with the same question. This was what I got back:
Hi Fred,
Thank you for getting back to us.
We have tried checking the IMEI numbers of your Mate 9 device in our system and although on the consumer website we were prompted with the information that the device is intended for China, while running them through our other software tools we were unable to gain access to any type of information.
For this reason we won't be able to provide any details related to the current Build Number available for the device, or any other details related to the updates intended for it.
Should any other questions arise, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards, Huawei
So it seems it's a China model and not a European one. Do I somehow flash it with a Chinese rom? If so - which one?!
Any help much appreciated!
Fred
I wont be much help on this subject, but you would certainly rebrand to a different region. There are a few threads around for that, Then use the region you want.

So, it is definitely Chinese model.
1. Huawei didn't tell you much info, just point to China.
2. Model that is selling in Europe can't have log suffix in build number. This is ROM for test purpose with logging and sending info to Huawei. Chinese sellers flashed it by inadvertence.
Don't look on it was sealed. It is too easy to seal box again.
Well, you can stay at C432 region, but I recommend flash release version like B198 using Firmware Finder.
Otherwise you can return to Chinese region ( C00 )
In this case you must get unlock code and unlock bootloader. Turn "oem unlock" in developer settings and remember that option is on world ROMs only.
Then you will able to rebrand.
Thanks for the input so far guys,
Would there be any benefit in putting a Chinese rom on? Am I right in thinking that China versions are getting Oreo at the moment? I'd rather not go through using the tool and rebranding (did it before with my Mate 8) so I think i'll try to work out the firmware finder app!
Thanks

I believe the Chinese versions are somewhat limited and cannot access some Google apps and services.

Good morning all,
I used the Firmware Finder to update to MHA-L29C432B198 and all good! Now I guess I just wait for the Oreo update to hit this region version. It needed a reset of course, so I had a fun evening of rebuilding and signing into all my apps while at the same time completely rebuilding my media centre pc which had refused to boot.. yay. Good times.

Well, even if you updated, you're still "out of region". So chances are you won't get any update to Oreo.
Oreo builds for C432 are named MHA-L29 8.0.0.xxx (C432) in Firmware Finder, same with MHA-L09.
So you could try updating to Oreo through FF.
Thanks, I'll keep checking the finder app. I'd rather stay on the c432 chain as I'm in England if that makes a difference. Is Oreo still in beta for 432? So far they all say not approved for installation.
I purchased my Honor 8 recently from Amazon.
I received model number FRD-L24. I can't find any information about this on Huawei site, this site or the sub reddit. Can anybody shed some light on what is going on with this model number? I am also desperate for the stock boot.img if anyone has access to it.

FRD-L24 doesn't exist as we know. It could be an old test device.
EDIT
As I can read the only site where It is nominated was FCC so I'm more sure about test device.
Wich version of EMUI have It?

Version is 5.0.3
I don't think you have to worry... And you can't make rebrand anyway
Was wondering if anyone is getting anywhere with the A2020N2 or A2020N3 chinese variants of the Axon 10 Pro? I can't seem to find anything aside from the 4g models. I did read a post in my travels that 'Unjustified Dev' was going to release a bootloader unlock for the A2020N2 awhile back but can't find anything more on it.
The phone is great and I was able to uninstall most of the Chinese bloatware but would love to see root so I can push the limits of this phone.
Some info would be greatly appreciated whether it is good news or bad news.
Thanks.
Seem to be making some headway on this.
If you go to this website and translate Chinese to English it looks like someone was successful in unlocking the bootloader and installing Magisk to the a2020n2
https://pianshen.com/article/70191805055/
The claim the tool only works on Android 9 and unfortunately I have already flashed to Android 10 b16 and can't seem to find a way to roll back. I have tried flashing the older zips from the ZTE website to no avail.
If anyone has any other suggestions on rolling back the firmware to Android 9 I would appreciate it.
I found the tool they were talking about on androidfilehost
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962591021
You can only find the firmware for this phone if you to to the chinese site and translate it.
https://www.ztedevices.com/cn/supports/zte-a2020n2-pro/
Anyone on Android 9 that wants to give this a shot? I would recommend doing a full backup so if anything goes wrong you can go back into DFU mode and reflash the original files if you are considering doing this.
Hy! Where did you found the Android 10 update for the 5G variant? Can you send us a link with the update?

Did you actually read the post above... It literally tells you how to find the firmware.
Yes! But the only version that I see it's the v2.2. Is that Android 10? Cause the release note field is empty.
yes, v2.2.0 b16 is android 10. v2.0.0 is android 9.
Hi to all!
I have the A2020N3 version. Someone can explain me what's the difference with the A2020N2 versione?
I'm still on android 9 and I'm wondering if it worths to upgrade to Android 10...some suggestions?
Hey! I found this post but looks a little bit outdated... It's ir possible to update the A2020N3 to Android 10? Is the Axon 10 Pro 5G from Drei Austria.
I received Android 10 update for my A2020N3 (4.6 version), the phone flows like butter! Where I can find a changelog?

Bro it model is 5G model??
i have question involving firmwares:
i have a huawei p40 lite and could not find the exact firmware i was looking?
however i have found one that seems to be close/differently named because of the model code seen in settings - device info.
Are these firmware (slightly) different depending on country or continent?
If it's continent like europe, i should be ok?
I have the same issue with a p40 lite eu version (JNY-LX1) on 236, no firmware appears anywhere in Hisuite-proxy or searching on MT.
The only older firmware I managed to find is this:
https://androidhost.ru/xxX?pt=U0hGe...yTVVoNVp6MDlPdU1Ha3Q0ZHRqTTN2TW9zbnNUVXBPTT0=
Which is successfully downloaded to my pc but I have found no way to downgrade using Hisuite.
The funny thing is that the lzplay method worked a week ago (I got passed the G but then couldn't add the google account like everyone else) but now there must have been a minor update and the lzplay no longer works so need to find a way to downgrade...

the P40 Lite appears to be a different device from the P40, maybe it would be better to have a different forum for that device?
I bought a OP9 chinese model LE2110, my software is oxygen OS 11.2.3.3 LE25DA (indian)
I want global version because this one has some bloatware and indian company cloud notifications that i dont want.
Is it possible to change it to international version? i downloaded the global one but i cant install it (local) because its a downgrade or equal to my current one. i updated to the latest version when setting up my phone.
The chinese version/model doesnt have wireless charging, so if there is a problem with compatability, can I change back to the indian variant?
note: I dont care about my data i can format everything, my old phone can transfer things for me later
sorry i am kinda new to this
I got my answer, but i dont know how to delete the post.
have a good day

Why would you delete the post instead of posting your answer? You know, in case someone has the exact same issue.

My bad.
Well the answer I got is that I can wait for the next update, and manually download the european/international version(build) from Oneplus website. It will install and replace the indian version, and supposedly I will be able to remove all the bloatware that I can't install. I can't install the current international build because it is the same number as my current one and its considered downgrading, which is not allowed.
So I will wait for the next update and download it manually. Hopefully this works.

Pro tip: disable auto downloading the software update over wifi, just so that you don't accidentally download it.
It worked, I am now running EU software and the bloatware is gone.
