Updates roll out in pieces. Only certain parts of the world will get them first, then the next, and so on.
We only just got the official update here in the UK, other parts of Europe have had it for a couple of weeks.
It will eventually be available to you sometime!

In the same boat, havent taken part in Beta program and I am stuck on 182 still.
Btw , 182 was a forced updated by downloading it from the Warehouse firmware thread here , i was stuck on B166 otherwise.
My phone is not even tied to any carier. Arrgh!!!

Seems to be only minor visible changes. No new options I can see.
One thing that did change was that I can use EE's WiFi calling, which wasn't available before on the beta. This was activated automatically by EE via a text.
Camera, WiFi, network all seem same.
Will have to wait maybe a couple of days to see how the battery life is.

Do you think it would work if we flashed the android nouget version B360 over the B182 version of mashmallow we currently have ??
Yes what happens if a non Beta on 182 tries to install the latest Android N ROM?

It just doesn't work, I downloaded the B182 ROM last night and installed it, no problems.
On Firmware Finder there are a couple of ROMS viz. B360, B361 and another B361, I've tried to download all 3 and flash them (using dload method) and have had NO success whatsoever with any of them.
I am now reverting to checking the update page in settings every hour or so!
BTW I've tried the dialler method too and that doesn't work neither
What's the huawei updater way?
Why is this phone such a piece of crap, differing version per region for what is the same software.
Why do OEMs insist on making such an industry out of something this straight forward
I thought I'll make this thread for the Australian Mate 20 Pro Owners.
As we may all know already, Optus and other ozzy telcos are extremely slow with releasing there updates for our devices, it's very frustrating as we have to wait for important updates and fixes.
In this thread I'll love to hear from other Australians and there opinions on this matter. Also to discuss firmwares that have been flashed from other regions on our devices etc
All topics about our devices are all welcome
I have the L29. Currently with Telstra (Prepaid)
My last OTA update was 168 which I received around the end of December.
I recently unlocked my bootloader and updated to 182 following a guide in these forums
I also rooted my device using the same guide.
I don't really have too much to say on the speed of our updates, as I've only had my Mate 20 Pro since the 28th of Dec. It's my first android phone and I'm loving it so far. I've been wanting to get away from Apple for years, but the jailbreaking scene kept me with them. Now that the scene is almost dead I decided it was time.
So now I'm getting my head around rooting.
LYA-L29 here.. C636 SPCSEAS region on mine.
Have done the fh 171 update.. Now on unlocked bootloader and rooted 182. Tried the custom 182 rom but no joy with magisk in hiding safety net stuff for Google pay.. However with the stock 182 I was able to hide the safety net checks with magisk help.
What might be of interest to people to is I've been able to downgrade back to 171 and relock bootloader which previously was said could not happen. Back on 182 though now.
Currently running an L29 bought from eBay AU but originated in the UK as far as I can tell (based on the charger mains plug)
Latest version It'll update to is .168, it started off at .109 and has done 2 updates in the 2 days I have had it.
I've ordered a BL code and will look at rooting once I have it, there seem to be 2 different guides in this forum at the moment. Still working out which way to go. One of the methods definitely involves rebooting into recovery every time in order to get root, not sure if the other method does as well.
I find the 182 firmware to be a great one, I have noticed more of a battery drain on this one but nothing to really worry about.
I find it awesome that the hwota method works and we are now able to flash the same or higher firmwares with pretty much ease now. To be honest everytime I fiddled with my phone before the hwota method came out I would stuff something up then use funky Huawei to bring it back to life lol that was beginning to be an expensive venture haha.
This device shows alot of promise, I am currently using magisk and have used modules to pass safety net. Also used titanium backup to remove some system apps I never use. I froze Huawei home and now use nova launcher and used the Google framework module to install the Google phone and contacts app which I find much better. I am happy to say I now have the device exactly where I want it to be. I have also added a 64gb Huawei nano memory card to my device, as it may be expensive I thought why not. Now all my photos get saved to memory card

The patched_boot.img method is what I'm using basically when the phone reboots it automatically boots up the patched_boot and goes straight into the os, you don't even notice it which is great

Basically grab the recovery_ramdisk IMG and use that in magisk to get a patched_boot.img that would be the best way but in the guide it's got all the info you need there.

LYA-L09 from Optus here still on .122, with .146 due end of this month. Optus update schedule is a joke. As soon as FH .182 is safety net approved, I'm doing it. Don't really want to pay the $70 to unlock bootloader but will likely do that too eventually.
Yes Optus is a joke. Hopefully they start working on .171 which is supposed to have a unlock bootloader although I am sure optus will modify it to stay locked.

Optus are still stuffing everyone around with not yet releasing an almost 2 months old firmware. All they can do is give you a recorded message.
They certainly are the most pathetic telecommunications company.
Sent from my HUAWEI LYA-L09 using XDA Labs
It seems to have come to light that optus won't be supplying firmware updates, 2 reasons were mentioned today
1 is that huawei have not issued a software licence and will not provide optus with firmware.
2 is that optus have abandoned huawei firmware updates because of the huawei 5G and US ban with regards to spying.
All the times optus have mentioned testing firmware for the mate 20 Pro has been lies, it now is apparent that they were never testing anything.
This matter via being addressed by me in writing to both Huawei and optus, if they fail to respond or provide a firmware update solution. Consumer Affairs Victoria will be filing a complaint against them con VCAT Court.

Is your phone Optus branded specifically? Could you go and buy a Telstra prepaid SIM, chuck that in, and update the phone?

They are not testing .183 they are supposed to be working on .188 but at this point optus don't have a software licence from Huawei, and huawei are refusing to release the firmware until they get a licence approved.
This could be months or not even happen at all
They also have never been testing any firmware because huawei have never released any to them for testing as to date.
Here is the message I received from Optus last week.
Hey Darren,
This is what I recieved internally from our Tech devs,
For Australian carriers, Huawei will release MR every 2 months. They do not know the release details until about 1 month before the release. They have skipped .146 and .183 because they did not meet Optus requirements. We are going to get .188 for testing which is the later version than .183. The only way for the customer to get .183 is to buy an open market handset.
So we're all still on .122 ?
I want to say "un ****ing believable" but it's really not.
It's simply not good enough

I will wait for the 9.1.x.x to see if I'm gonna receive anything.
I know maybe too soon to question it but is it possible that nokia will give us Android 11?
Nokia (Android One) only guaranteed two years of OS updates plus one year of security updates.
The two years will be over after March, so prolly no new Android versions for the 7 plus.

Hi guys !
Did anyone received the lastest Android update with package name CPH2091_11_C.01 with Android 11 ? It is said to have been officially released in Australia the 16th of December, but as far as I know, there's absolutely no information about someone who has got it anywhere. I'm taking a look like everyday for it on the web, still there's nothing...
If someone got the update, can manage to extract the downloaded package and upload it somewhere, it would be GREATLY appreciated !
Still no update for me too. I'm in The Netherlands so I guess I have to wait even longer.
I already asked Oppo France on Twitter about that, all they say is "It's currently being deployed in France" but that's clearly not true, and they won't say anything else... I would like them staying true to their communication, or at least giving information. The only thing sure is that nobody knows haha
If I can, when I'll got the update package I'll upload it somewhere for other users so they won't have to wait
Ok, so I checked the Oppo website, there was an update of ColorOS 7.2 available that my phone did not find, so I downloaded from the web and applied it in the recovery, just after rebootr checked updates and now ColorOS 11 is downloading, so you may try to search for an update on the website first.
@kremmit take me informed
Oh hey that's nice that you managed to get it. For me on OPPO site is the same version I have on the phone.
Reno4 Pro 5G
CPH2089_11_A.36
2021/01/18
Damn I have no idea then
I guess here they haven't deployed it yet. Nothing to do but wait.
But thanks for the info pal
Got it here in Belgium. First the 7.2 update, then the 11 update few days after. Not really stratified with 11. I hope there will be a new update soon to correct some things. Btw, you can use a VPN to trick the system and try to get the update through another country.
I agree, I'm not fully happy with ColorOS 11, the worst thing being the Chat Bubbles replacing the Messenger ones (but permitting to use them with Messages, WhatsApp, Messenger...). They are really horrible. Messenger is losing all the functionalities that made it a really nice application, and there's no way to bring them back as it uses a new Google API instead of the one Facebook made for it years ago.

So which version is the update c.50??
Following the tip to be on VPN so i'm connected to Belgium for the full day and just got the 7.2 update.
Hope to get the 11 update soon.
The worst thing is (for me) the Bubbles, it's a thing Google forced the developpers to use, and to be honest it's ****ty af... It replaces the good old Messenger Chat Heads which were really perfect, now it is horrible (go take a look at the review of Messenger on the Play Store and Google it, you'll see what i mean). I really hope Google will permit Facebok to use their own API back instead of forcing us to use this.
Bought this phone recently with 7.2 a.44 already installed. No sign of color 11 yet even trying VPN around the world.

Had the same problem, try to see on the official Oppo website if there's any update. In my case there was one I downloaded and installed, just after that it found the Android 11 update.
They are taking their sweet time releasing it.
I'm still on 10 and same version on their site. Waiting...

Thanks, but every oppo website I've tried has a worse update than the one that's already installed on my phone from new, the a44 on mine has February security so can't be that old.

It was that one for me :

(Don't be afraid of the 2089 part, it did work ^^)
It's the A40, (I don't remember the version I was on before) but before installing it I did try a lot via VPN and other things to update to Android 11 without success, and after installing this manually it came up by itself
