Hi,
Ive been trying to figure this out for more than one year and I havent been able to find any information on how to make this happen.
I have a P30 Pro bought on amazon, it is a DOCOMO Japan version but I dont live in Japan.
Latest security patch is from 2020 so I dont feel safe using this phone. I cannot update it since everytime I try it says I have to do it inside DOCOMO updater and when I try it says im outside their network and im not able to update it.
Is there any bypass? Ive tried VPNs on Japan but same, it doesnt allow me to upgrade. I would like to get some help on how to upgrade the phone to another firmware (GLOBAL) better, or to be able to upgrade it inside DOCOMO outside Japan.
Thank you so much, please any help I would be more than happy and grateful.

I'm on L09C432 and still haven't received the B123 OTA update yet. Should I be worried? Anyone else in the same situation?
My version is still B113. Not done any funny business to the phone software. I did buy the phone in Germany sim free and using it in the UK day to day... does that impact firmware rollout?
No idea if I should be expecting an update. In Thailand, currently using VTR-L29C636B120.
No update too. L09C432 from Belgium.
Belgium too ... No update B123 still un B113
OK, I feel less worried now! Looks like Huawei are really slow in rolling out B123... and also B120!
latest software is B130 and battery life is improved.
Just received the VTR-L29C636B133 update (Thailand)
Im on B123 in Hungary, Europe
Hey all. I picked up a sim free version here in the UK (L09). I still seem to be running B120 and the device is not picking up any new updates. I spoke to Huawei and they say B162 is the latest version they are endorsing. Phone or Hi Suite not picking up anything.

I'm in exactly the same boat, purchased mine SIM free from CurrysPCWorld - still on B120 and no updates are found whatsoever! Really frustrating - have tried firmware finder and it finds all the latest versions but all fail installation!

Hi, I have the same phone from Currys and I updated it with FF without problem to B179. Then joined the Beta program. After that I did a rebrand to L29 for DS functionality. Then flashed the L09 OEMinfo.bin ( still have DS function ) and after a couple of days I was able to update to Oreo Beta through OTA. But the project in the Beta app is missing.
Is it possible to cross flash between different model types? My P20 pro model CLT-AL00 is nowhere been seen listed in any firmware downloading sites or app. Please help... appreciate any effort...
I'm download the the CLT-L04C from Firmware Finder now, it says my device AL00 is not approve for but I'm still gonna try flash it, I'll let you know if I got it work, really hard for us ppl who bought P20 Pro from other countries and try to use it in North America.
Did you have any luck with this? I've got a 256GB mem, 8GB ram CLT-AL00 with C00 and wondering if it's possible to flash another device's firmware as I want to move off China firmware.
Bump! Did anyone figure this out?
You need to have your bootloader unlocked.
Hello everyone
I've recently spend a few weeks in China and have discovered that most phones in the US are behind the times, so I decide to pickup a Huawei P20 Pro. Not having to done my research properly (totally my fault) I discover many items are not install on the Chinese version of Oreo such as Google Play Store and etc. So I was wondering what is the simplest was to change my Chinese firmware to the Canadian version. I have not done anything to P20 Pro yet, did not do any OTA upgrade yet.
Model - CLT-AL00
Build Number - CLT-A00 8.1.0.111(C00)
EMUI - 8.1.0
Android 8.1.0
Not looking for anything special builds or anything, I just want the simple Canadian stock firmware version of the P20 Pro loaded and the simplest way. Thank you in advance.
You can install all the Google Apps with the apk (sideloading). Mine is working good (chinese version in Brazil), but just without some Google features that I don't use (like swipe left to go to assistant, for example).
You need the bootloader unlock code to install a new firmware, but the Huawei stopped to give these codes a some time ago. You can search the forum from time to time to find if they restarted this "service".
Search for funkyhuawei.
I think they have all the services you need.
You will have to pay for it though.
Cheers.
Thank you both @FOXTEiN and @Nano- yes I been trying to look for the bootloader, not sure why they stop providing it. Argg.. this sucks. Life goes on.
Hi all,
How is everyone on EMUI 9/10? Im in the US and I bought the phone on Amazon (International version. CLT-L29) 2 years ago and never got any updates. There is an app i need for work but my android version is too old for it. Ive tried checking for updates on HISuite but no luck. Rooting is not an option
Have you tried Mi Suite and check for update from there? Or try to use older firmware and downgrade, and then upgrade from misuite.
Yap, try HiSuite. If that does not work, you can either pay for a software update in an official Huawei service center or you can download the latest update with Firmware Finder.
i tried hisuite. it says im on the latest version
how do i use firmware finder?

If you have the 636 regional variant, that is why. I have to flash all of my updates manually because Huawei really has really crapped the bed on this one.

My buddy had this problem too. He had to go to the service, and at first they just blinked there. It was finally resolved after almost 3 hours of waiting.
Hi,
I have a P30 Pro DOCOMO Version and Android is Stuck on 9 and Emui 9.1.
I've tried following a guide posted here for a Aquos Softbank from Japan, but on my OS can't find "Google Services Framework".
I already download VPN Proton but I'm not sure how to upgrade. Always get same message "Can't upgrade outside network".
Thank you so much. I hope someone can help me here
