EMUI 12 - Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers

Has anyone got the update yet for the Pro series? Stable release was supposed to be released in January of this year, but I'm still on 11.0.0.230 (UK). I'm well aware how Huawei are with updates, but 12 brings a good amount of features.

same here in Bulgaria.
stuck with 11.0.0.230
Almost all from the local android forum get emui 12, but i am without luck.
tried a lot of tricks and nothing..
-software app cache clean
-region change
-with/without sim card.
and no and no.any idea why they do not release update for our c432 11.0.0.230?
or trick how to receive the update package

It will be released at some point, but the issue with Huawei is they're always waaaay behind on roll outs unfortunately. So it's a waiting game essentially.

yea im stuck with.230 for months, even emui 12 is released in my country for weeks now, it sux

That's not happy news.I think that nore than month official in my country and nothing..

Just got it today in UK (on EE)

Well that's a good sign, I'm on Sky mobile and haven't received an update yet, but since you've got yours than it shouldn't take much longer for other carriers to follow I suppose.

not quite, my friend got it weeks ago on same network, im still stucked on .230

Just got .260, still no emui 12

it will come today or tomorrow, just check it regularly

*Update* - Just received an update, but unfortunately it was (.260). Oh well.. Just have to keep waiting

I did get update to EMUI 12 like week ago. Im from Poland. I was able to force it using HiSuite on PC

Could you explain how you did that please? I'm familiar with the modded Hisuite and firmware finder from the P20 Pro days, but some insight on how you managed it would be very helpful.

I did get update to emui 12 yesterday. At first from 230 to 260 and then to 12.

Can anyone confirm that when you've sideloaded GMS, it still works fine upgrading to emui 12?

Yes

As stated above it doesn't break gms, once it's on your phone it stays unless you've factory rest your device.

Received a few days ago in Bulgaria. First update to 260 then to emui 12.
Unfortunately, the battery appears that drain fast.
Before the update, I made 7-8 hours sot, yesterday with the update 4h and 10 minutes..
Hope that it will be optimized..

Two weeks after OTA 12 my GMS stopped working - device is not certified...

Suddenly today GMS stop working. Any sugestions? All GMS apps are useless. EMUI12. Bulgaria.

Dear Honor! Regarding updates

Ok I got my phone 4 MONTHS ago! I wanted to update my phone but no updates i contact honor support they tell me i need to wait upto 8 weeks 130A! I wait out the 8 weeks to get my update but i get nothing. I contact the support again and i ask what happend with the update i was told it had been changed for 130B i was told that if i wait to 21 march i would be getting an manual update so around 6 more weeks. I waited those weeks and guess what ah no they cannot do manual updates even tho they promised me that update will be sent the 21. Now 3 april i contact them they tell me 130A and 130B Never exisisted and that 140A is the update i will get in 8 weeks from 2 april meaning if they did not lie again a total of 6 months wait to get 1 update! That sickens me!
Dear Honor get to work on ur support!
Edit :Im still on 8.0.0.120A(C432)
[QRCODE]Just Update ME![/QRCODE]
Same here. I was told to wait until 22. March, and then to wait 8 more weeks. So now, I have to wait until May to get my first update, just like you.
I know the Honor is obligated to send updates every 3 months, so I'm asking what now? Do we really have to wait 6+ months? If so, this is definitely my first and LAST Honor phone. It's just frustrating.
Hello,
Love my phone, but without update I will change the phone next time. We don't have any security updates, so disappointed with Honor ?
I think all of us is disappointed. The view 10 is like a Ferrari without the engine.
Keep supporting the post I will send this to honor
Lack of updates has literally pissed me off. It is better not to buy Honor/Huawei phones no matter how compelling they seem
Shame sbout this company.If they really want to compete with the likes of Oneplus they really have to address the lack of support and otas.
I was close to buying this phone but after doing my research I can see the majority of customers are disapointed with lack of updates .
Firmware finder for Huawei in the app store now has several EU updates.
I've just bought op5t sending this crap back unusable video
Guys! Firmware finder added du updates! Huawei can't support us they can
I updated my Honor View 10 to 130 update through the Firmware Finder, but I'm not sure about the newer updates. It shows that there's a 141 update. Has anyone tried it?
For the moment it's not possible to update with FFH. Il tried several times without success
i am on B130 with Huawei Firmware finder with the Proxy trick and it shows B140 and B141

I fully agree! It's April now and the phone shows an Android security patch level of January the first. The support team told me I might have to wait until June (!) to receive an update. Additionally there is no fully working custom ROM supporting every feature of the phone so far. And maybe there will never be one. Next phone will definitely be an OnePlus again.
yup, i also wonder about this.
i know honor/huawei is doing a great job in keeping the phone up to date with latest patch, but the ota rollout process is quite slow and most of the phone did not get it on time. Currently, my view 10 is still stuck with January security patch despite newer patch for march n april is already available for a long time?
i understand ota is roll out in batch, but it is quite unreasonable if we need to wait for a few month just get a security update, by that time new update will also become available and we need to wait again and this keep going on.
i hope the ota rollout can be improve.
I don't understand Honor, my wife have Honor 7x and this morning received second update... I have honor view 10 and nothing...
I wanted to buy the Honor View 10 in two weeks for my birthday. I have had the Honor 7 so far. I was happy with the phone but not happy with the update policy. I thought this changed? Now i read this and i start to doubt if i should get another honor phone when it still takes so long for the updates and patches to be delivered.

Was seriously considering the v10 myself but their update policy is terrible.Im not going to get one now.Looking at the Nokia 7+ which has Android one and guaranteed updates for 2 years for android versions and 3 years of security patches.I will wait to see how much tbe Oneplus 6 costs first though.

Thank you, but my honor it's not rooted

I just want to see what all the fuss is about Android 9 dang it. Any word when ATT s8+ gets the Pie update? I keep manually checking for update every day. Sm-955U snapdragon.
No one knows then they will release it. My sources say 040119. But who knows.. you could reflash u1 then sideload the beta ota if you wanna try it
Its live today.
I got mine on my s8 a day or to ago, my active still waits.
My S8 got it on Friday

Should I Update to Android 10?

I purchased a Pixel 2 for my wife that should be arriving tomorrow. I will not be unlocking the bootloader or rooting as it interferes with her work email and apps. I've been reading about the issues with Android 10 so I'm wondering if I should try to prevent the phone from updating to 10 during initial setup. Do you guys recommend updating to 10? What would you do if you had a new Pixel 2? Thanks.
Let it update, otherwise you're postponing the inevitable. Android 9 has it's problems for some too. I suppose you could wait for a few fixes to be rolled out before upgrading, but personally I don't regret the move to 10.
I went from 8 to 10. Skipped 9 altogether. I like the new notification features in 10 as well as a few other things. I haven't really had any issues with 10 other than lack of development for theming and a few other tweaks, but that is to be expected. I don't think you would regret updating... It's early though, but it will get better. Already better that what pie tried to be!
All that said, it is known that the signal is not as strong as with previous Android versions.. For me anyway. So if you live in a low signal area, it may be best to wait until at least the next security update.
I'm waiting for the October update
I've had a few random reboots ever since the 10 update.
Hope this gets fixed with the upcoming October release.
(Magisk might also have something to do with that but hey ... at least it's all dark within the phone )

Question Still on November Security patch

I have a Pixel 7 Pro purchased through T-Mobile. 100% stock, no modifications. Google Play System update is Nov. 1. I am still on the November security patch. Attempting the system update results in ""Your system is up to date" Is this a google problem, TMobile slow update or a phone problem?
T-Mobile I'd imagine. Just use Pixel Flasher or https://flash.android.com
I joined the beta program

How is it? Stable enough to daily drive? I was stuck on the Nov. 22 patch as well until I sideloaded via ADB last night.
Nov 1 is the latest Play System Update afaik, at least thats what the QPR shows....
Google is having problems
This is one of those moments where it's not you it's them is actually true and not gaslighting . Play Updates are not rolling out properly

Seems you are not alone.
T-Mobile is running way behind on Google Pixel security updates
Timely updates are supposed to be a prime Pixel perk

Yeah I am on December update very annoyed with Google nothing has changed
Deleted
That sucks and should not be the Pixel experience. I would call T-Mobile and ask them why you are on an old update?
I have had decent updates so far but would be rather upset if I had a security update that was older than other OEM as that is part of the reason for getting a Pixel.
Sign up for Beta and you'll get QPR2 Beta 2. In my experience, it is much more fluid and responsive than previous builds. It fixes the scrolling issues and seems to have improved battery compared to the December update.
My wife's P7 still is on Dec update and says it's up to date. I manually flash and root mine, but not about to go to that work for her phone.

Can't you just adb sideload update.zip without having to even unlock the bootloader?
Full OTA Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers
developers.google.com
Google provides the means to update it yourself manually easily if you're not willing to wait for your turn. Their tools aren't even that complicated to use. I don't understand the big deal when you have manufacturers like Samsung that can take 3-6 months or longer to update between major version releases, Motorola that updates whenever they feel like it and only gives 2 years of major version updates, and OnePlus that's always behind like 2 months in security updates.

I could, but it's my wife's phone so I don't want to mess with it. I'd have to pry it out of her hands first.

If she's complaining about it, 10 minutes in your hands beats you hearing about it for however long it takes for the update server to decide it's her turn.
Also mine show November as last play service update (I'm on the beta). Italian unlocked phone
Nov is the latest still for play system. There wasn't a Dec and Jan hasn't rolled out yet

There's also the indeterminate minutes, if/when something goes sideways...
This is being delayed for un-branded devices as well, such as mine purchased G-Store direct, based on some sort of carrier-block. I'm tempted to go dig through some dev-docs, to see if I can find this (could be an section not published for most, I suppose), but I figure to what end, mostly.
As you mention, easy side-load, but without knowing why this is being blocked for non-TMo (branded, so not gated by their release of their OTA) devices, it's a gamble of sorts...
I just posted in another thread that I think this is an odd situation. I use an MVNO Boost Mobile that uses T-Mobile and I got the update on the 5th. Maybe I got it before they pulled it? Why would they hold the update back to T-Mobile customers but not the MVNO?

No software update option? "stuck" on Android 11

I bought my Note 20 Ultra when I still was using my iPhone as my main phone (I'm on AT&T) I switched to the Note last year and never really noticed it has *never* updated at all.
Just bought a Galaxy Tab S8 and realized the Note has not updated since Aug 2021.
I have been trying to figure out how to update the phone for about 2 weeks now, there is no option to check for an update at all. There is however a "Software Update" under the Battery and Device care option in settings.. but pressing it does nothing.
I went to AT&T last week and they are completely stumped. The guy helping me has the exact same phone and he has the update option where it should be and is running the latest Android 12 that AT&T pushed out. He gave me a 1-800 number to call for "advanced" support but i know they will say wipe the phone as their first "fix" and i'd rather not do that yet.
He checked my account, all my settings on their end and in my phone and has no clue whats going on.
Has anyone come across this? any ideas how to force an update?
I did download the Smart switch app for my computer from Samsung to check for an update (read that it can check for updates) and nothing.
12 is worse than 11; many that tried 12 rolled back to 11. Leave it on 11 and be happy.
This N10+ is still running on Pie. It runs like a bat out of hell. Security is not an issue. Current load will be 3 yo in June, still fast, stable with minimal maintenance. Good as it gets.
Rule#1- if the firmware is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be!!!
