I was wondering, last month, how\when\if I'd get EMUI 9, since I bought my phone from eBay, from the UK, and it was locked to EE. I got it unlocked. (I live in Ireland).
I have been checking Hi Care, and the System Update, every so often, wondering where it would appear.
I checked Hi Care today and there was nothing, then I checked System Update in settings and there it was. Currently downloading.
I was kind of under the impression that Hi Care would have the update first, that it'd come straight from Huawei; And that System Update would give me the update from my current mobile provider. Can anyone confirm is this is supposed to be the case?
I'm still not clear on who exactly the update came from, but at least it's finally here..

Ok so I just acquired an S6 (AT&T, OEM/not rooted) and I know that 7.0 is rolling out for it and after some investigating it seems that the only way I'll be able to update it to 7.0 from 6.0.1 is if my baseband is at a certain version, which it is not. There are 3 listed updates for this phone on the At&T site that I don't seem to have (SPL Nov 1, SPL Dec 1 & SPL Jan 1) and I'm wondering how I can apply these updates and at least have my phone up to date. I've tried checking OTA updates and also installing SmartSwitch and it says that my phone is currently updated and doesn't offer any patches. Any help is appreciated!
Here's a screenshot of where I'm at now-

No OTA updates if it's not on the AT&T network, sadly. I have an AT&T S6 on Cricket and I get my updates by going to a Best Buy with a Samsung Experience Center inside. They can update it for you. If that's an option based on where you live you can wait a couple weeks, they didn't have the Nougat update yet when I checked yesterday. Otherwise, since it's a new phone and presumably you don't have any data on it to lose, you can update manually. See this thread to start:

Thanks for the tips. I'm on cricket actually so going into a Best buy might be the best option when they get it. Do you have to pay them to do it? Will i get my phone back right away or do I need to leave it with them for a while ? Side question for you - do you use the hotspot on the s6? That's something else I'm trying to get working/enabled.
It's free. I've done it three times and it's been a breeze. You don't leave your phone, you just wait around for the updates to install. Depending on how many updates you are behind it can take a while, but there are plenty of ways to kill time at Best Buy. You can check online which ones have the Samsung Experience Center inside.
As for hotspot, I never use it.
Hi,
So I was wondering if this is normal, because I seriously doubt it. I'm considering just buying a new phone because so many random small problems have popped up with this P9. If it helps, it is the EVA-L19C20B150. I have checked for updates via the settings app, as well as the hicare app, and it just says the current version is up to date or that there are no updates. I have also tried updating via the SD card, and it said it was successful, but nothing happened, the version didn't change. I have also factory reset my phone. Any ideas? If not, I guess I'm looking at buying the latest Pixel or iPhone next month.
Thanks!
I realize that this question has likely been answered here a few times, but I've read so many different answers that I'm second guessing myself.
I imported a P20 pro to the US to use on AT&T. I'm very glad that I did. It's a great phone and I've really had no issues with it whatsoever.
The model I have was an unlocked model bought through ebay and is a CLT-L29. EMUI version is 8.1.0. Build number is CLT-L29 8.1.0.121(C605)
I simply don't know where to start with updating to the latest firmware. The OTA update feature won't work on this phone.
I have firmware finder installed. I can see that updates exist for this thing. However, I don't know for sure how I download and install the update.
The methods I have read seem quite involved, which seems odd to me. It seems I should be able to download the appropriate file, stick it in a folder on my phone, reboot the thing while holding down a combination of buttons and boom...updated phone. Is this not the case for me? It always went this way for me in the past!
Please....even though I'm really really not an idiot, I need you to assume that I am and explain this to me.
I'm curious about this too. I'm also in the US on AT&T, but my device was on 128 out of the box. I'm hoping we get OTA updates when our device region gets them.
Hi everyone, been a while since I've been on these forums.
So I put in an order to upgrade my phone last week, decided to splash out on the Xperia 1 II through Vodafone (got a pretty decent plan with them) however after putting the order in, it turns out the phone is out of stock and so my order has been placed on "back order". Today, I had my third update regarding the status of my order and the phone is still out of stock.... With no real eta.... Just... "We'll let you know when it's in stock"... :crying:
So I'm just wondering if there is anyone here with industry contacts that have any idea when Vodafone will get their next batch from Sony?
I also have an additional question... I'm aware that the phone will be locked to Vodafone and that it may have a Vodafone specific firmware - I'll be planning to unlock the phone to other networks but will it be possible to flash standard generic firm to the phone in addition?
Thanks
Edit 22/07/20 - My order has been updated and is being delivered, I also checked the Vodafone website and they are showing immediate availability for next day delivery.
I have the ATT Us variant. It has been stuck in 8.1 for a couple of years. It has been having some serious overheating issues for the past few months and so I wanted to get it upgraded to 10. It also has many other issues with the OS and I am hoping this will resolve it. I turned off updates when I got the phone because at the time I preferred 8.1 over 9.
Anyway, I cannot figure out how to get the updates to work again. I turned auto update back on a week ago. I am on wifi because I am in central Mexico for a while.
When I installed and tried Smart Switch, it said the phone was fully updated which is not true. I have it on the very first ATT update of 8.1.
I do not want to reinstall/factory reset the phone right now, so a fix that allows it to just update would be wonderful.
SM-N960U is the model.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to unstick this?
