I recently bought this phone from a website that is from my country (Romania), not from China and i don't know if it has the latest firmware on it.It has Android 6.0.1 with android security patch level September 1,2016. If i check for updates,it doesn't find any. My baseband version is A9100ZCU1API2. What i'm trying to say is that i don't know if the guys from the website put on the phone a custom rom or not,because if they did there are chances that the phone will never receive software updates and that's my concern. For example, if i buy the phone from China, will it come with google services installed? Because my phone has google play store on it. I don't know if i should download the latest firmware from sammobile and install it with Odin, but the phone might have the bootloader locked or some other stuff and it can't install the firmware and i will be left with the phone bricked or stuck in dowload mode...What do you guys say, should i let it like this for a while and wait for android 7 maybe or it's fine to reinstall the firmware from sammobile?And if i reinstall the firmware will i have google services on it? Thank you!
If you have factory room, you should already got the notification about new FW, as API3 is ancient. I believe latest is AQB2 and Nougat room is in testing phase..
What's saying in Settings/About/SW info/Build number?

I attached a picture with my build number.My main question is if i can reinstall the firmware with odin and that i won't have any surprises...
It's newest build, and I believe it's factory default, so you'll get Nougat directly once it is out
SM-A9100
If i go to settings at the status device tab,it says Official....
I have one more question...Why i can't receive notifications from whatsapp,facebook/messenger, etc.... I think this is a problem on phones that come from China or don't have an international software support.... Is it because Google is not supported officialy on this kind of devices or what is the problem? Be for i got the A9, i had a Leeco Le Max 2 and it had the same problem with the notifications
You need to disable power optimization for these apps, this option pops up from time to time, or you can find it in smart manager, under power options or something. Can not give you exact location as we don't have same SW versions
SM-A9100
I don't have that option...i know what are you talking about but i can't find apps optimisation...
Hi Scrapperr,
Sorry to see you're having trouble with such a great phone
I've had the same issue you're describing - the software looks 'untouched' and 'legit' - but it's not, it has been tampered with, just check your Knox counter and you'll see what I mean (https://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-check-knox-and-samsung-official-status.874951/).
App optimization is hidden in Settings / Battery / Detail - once you have the apps listed, select the app that has issues with Notification and go with 'App power saving' - 'Turned off'.
It probably won't work - unfortunately.
I ended up using t'shock's ROM - https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-basicplus-1-t3587455 (BasicPlus) - very stable, good battery life, notifications working , but you might have issues with the SD cards - does not recognize cards larger than 32 GB and you might need to format them, in order to be usable with the phone.
If you go with the newest ROM available - listed on https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a9--/SM-A9100/, you'll notice it does not have Play Store / Play Services and then you'll have to read https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/help/galaxy-a9-pro-chinese-how-to-install-t3388126
Good luck and enjoy using your phone
Hey, Megaurs, thanks for this light stock Rom proposal, somehow I missed it.
Just 2 questions, did you maybe tried Tungtata Rom in order to compare these 2, and what would be advantages of Basic room vs.Tungtata
And, if this Basic room is QB3, isn't it based on latest stock available?
SM-A9100
Hi Djurkash,
Testing Tungtata is on my ToDo list, will get to it eventually - if you get to try it, please share your experience
You're right, QB3 is the latest release, as per sammobile.com.
Cheers

No nothing for the UK yet either.
The Huawei Servers actually have the Version 129 (Date: 02.04.2018). Unless we are getting a new Version via the OTA Update we should wait. For me it seems that these versions are still not final.
New build on fwf 129 2/4 but says not for device when check with imei

Hi.
Seems like the latest Update (128) broke my mirrorcast/streaming.
In the Update before it worked flawless.
I checked with Chromecast and a Sony and Samsung Tv.
Ive tested the Samsung TV in two different Networks.
In every test my device connects and disconnects immediatly.
Really annoing. Since my device is not routed its hard to investigate.

Not had this yet on my UK device.
Is it possible roll out has been paused due to the issues listed on here? Why the 2 versions?
Any more UK users had this update yet?

Still no OTA for me but interestingly the firmware finder tool now lists a new version for April security patches with version number B130
I’m in Canada with the P20 Pro on the Bell network, expecting an official OTA update to Pie any day now. With all the recent politics between Huawei and Canada, my concern is the *slight* chance that one of the ways which Huawei could retaliate against us, could be by not pushing any future OTA EMUI/security updates to phones in Canada, or at worst, remotely disabling phone functionality (although they likely have more significant ways to “retaliate” then going after low-level phones).
I want to be sure that if I accept the official OTA Pie update, and this happens, I would still be able to manually flash the latest versions of EMUI from other regions, or other ROM’s.
I’ve read a lot about issues with people updating to Pie and not being able to unlock the bootloader, “enable OEM lock” being greyed out, FRP being locked, not safely being able to perform a factory reset, etc.
Am I safer not allowing the OTA Pie update, or are all these issues related to beta releases and unofficial flashing.
Thanks!!

I don't think they will do that. After all it's government against government and consumer has nothing to do with it. In the end if u bought the p20 pro it's because u like it and like the brand so it won't be the right move for them to do that.
Maybe in another way but not to the point disabling anything in the phone. That move would be very low for a company that big....

It's your call if you want to update or not, but the things you have mentioned are all "features" of newer Huawei phones. They no longer have a desire to produce phones who can be rooted, flashed with alternative firmwares etc. If you update you may, or may not, encounter some of these issues depending upon your phone usage and preferences.
Thanks for the replies!
Just to be clear, I am very pleased with the phone - the OS, the features, and the hardware are all fantastic! When I bought the phone, I had no interest in rooting the phone, and I still don't. In fact, I'm one of the ones who kept hitting "check for updates" all day long yesterday (supposed release date) because I'm pumped to get the official OTA Pie download! The only reason I would want to root the phone is if Huawei decides to no longer provide future updates in Canada. From what I've been reading, I just want to confirm that if I accept the official Pie OTA, that I would have the option of doing whatever I need to do to flash future official updates from another Country, to be able to keep up with security patches and updated features.
So if I do the official OTA Pie update once it becomes available and Huawei decides to discontinue further updates in Canada (which is probably unlikely), will this be a viable backup plan to keep the phone up to date?
Thanks again!
Hi, after 9.0 update, some apps won't open. I tried checking all permissilm and allowed it but still wont open. It will pop for a few seconds then kicks me out after awhile. Can someone help?
What really annoys me is that I am not able to record the phone calls anymore after I've updated to Pie. This sucks!

Emui 9 sucks
Hi guys, I also use the Huawei p20 pro. Since yesterday I was happy with Huawei but Emui 9.0 update is really annoying. I don't know why but some Apps don't work anymore. For example the German football streaming app DAZN doesn't work. Many games have lag and the system as it is doesn't work well. I already cleaned partition in reboot menu. And I deleted cache but nothing helps. I need help! :crying:
I am from Romania...

Emui 9 is great. Your apps are not made for emui 9,that's why you have problems with them. Also,after a major upgrade you should reset the phone to factory settings. Do a backup to your photos,contacts,etc. NOT APPS...for those,do a clean install,and look for latest versions.

As far as I know,it's because of legal issues,they removed the option since Pie...and it's not only Huawei.
Hello, my Galaxy note 8 N950F with android 8 insistently asks me to install version 9 but I understood that my phone registration application will not work anymore and for my work I really got used to use for years.
Is it better to stay in 8 or is it possible to unlock this function in version 9 ?
If I have to stay in 8 how to prevent the update ? He asks me to install it several times a day and it will end up installing it all alone, and at the same time I have the impression that the battery is emptying much faster since there is this update waiting...
Is it possible to root version 9 knowing that I am in France on the Orange network and that I speak bad English (google translation) and I need clear explanation ! I understood that rooter version 9 would allow me to use the recording ...
Thank you
You don't need root .if you keep delaying the update promt up to 9 times then it will auto install.what I did was buy bk package disabler and disabled all updates that stopped my phone keep on promoting me to update to that ****ty one ui rubbish
exactly so
thanks, i found packagedisabler that looks the same and gives me a big list of application to uninstall. What is the name of the application that wants to force me to update android?

Do you know where is the file of the update, because there must be some GB blocked because of it.
I would update to Pie especially if you use any mobile banking apps on your device. As it will have all the latest security patches
if you use sbrowser it lost the on screen brightness and volume controls plus video scrubbing (ff & rew) is gone now it stops and skips

Official.
Already installed. Initial impression is good. Smoother, faster. The install was surprisingly quick.
Me to. But to receive the update you have to receive first the 266 update than go to hicare app and request the 9.1 update, I've tried seconds before updating to 266 to request it on hicare app and it showed nothing, just after 266 update i opened the hicare app and the 9.1 request was there.
Updating now....c185 here

Updated to 9.1, Really disappointed that tap-to-wake is not activated. It is present on p30s. Do not grasp why they would not add it...So close to leave huawei for good. Otherwise see no differences in the smoothness. The cam interface is a bit different. The dark themes do not work as good as they did on 9.0 (tried the 9.1 version of several). Disappointed.

Before Updating your Mate 20 to Emui 9.1 make sure you set the theme of the device to the default theme
I updated my phone with dark theme from playstore and get stuck to weather and data page but it was a black page after the update.
BeCause the theme set the background and font to black
Anyone got the double-tap to wake?

Hi, I have a MATE 20 L09. Yesterday I updated to 266. After, I opened HiCare to receive 9.1. In fact HiCare presents the update but it is not downloaded because, at the control, the smartphone communicates with a msg that "is already updated to the latest version available". But it's the 266!
