I know but I hear that Chinese characters appear here and there and I don't have an urge to follow TWRP + GAPPS workarounds. I'll be waiting but you're right, workaround is there if you want to.
Just don't understand why it takes so long for Huawei to release something that's "99.9%" done

The chinese stuff is just one small place when checking phone call details from history.
You dont need TWRP for gapps because Playstore works directly without even need for rooting. You then can download the gapps you need through playstore.
The release delay is because the release is being done by regional Huawei centers and not from China. You should ask with the regional Huawei when the release would be as they would have a more specific date rather than the average date from the schedule.

Yes, you should do that. I said it before, that the Huawei team told to my friend who was at the P7 event,that the p6 update will be out in 2weeks (may 21-22). And also my country (Hungary) huawei said it will arrive end of may. I already contacted them about this announcement, when i get another info, will post it.

Got the anserw again from Huawei! Here you are!
The official information by the Vmall forum is true. Hungary will rolling out the update before end of May. It's possible that some AscendP6 owners will be able to upgrade their device at the beginning of June, because there are different versions, for different regions. Thank you for your patience! Hello!

This will help you:
"Make sure you have root access and Root Explorer installed. The file which handles the headphones is in /system/etc/audio/codec/asound_UEDGE_ce_NDL.dat - rename it or delete it at all"

nah, soundmagic E10. I think I'll wait for official KK upgrade b4 trying out that root fix. I read someone reported an improvement in audio quality with KK
I used those with galaxy ace before which (although custom rom) sounded superior

On KitKat, the quality is the same and the volume too. Root the device and delete the file, believe me, I know what is "Power"

The sound board on the P6 is excellent actually - good base control.

I've tried every ROM for this phone /even B132/ and no one have good sound level, so Delete the file and you will hear the difference
Huawei Romania confirm 10 june for oficial update to 4.4.2 KitKat. And a few minor updates after that, for fixing any bugs, until end of 2014.

no promised updates, no good custom Roms, no one wants to port lineage os for us, and the list goes on and on.
if by March still no update by HTC, I'll be giving up on HTC products and venture into OnePlus. so sad to see HTC gone to ****. /rant
Totally agree with you.
Let's talk about the alternatives / improvements.
5 inch display, dual sim, microUSB expansion and stereo sound are my "must have".
Any decent alternatives out there?

I myself prefer a minimum screen of 5.5 the bigger the better but definitely not beyond 6 or maybe 6.2(I'm gonna wait for s8 xl to come out to see if 6 is my max or 6.2) dual SIM is not a must for me but it's nice to have i guess. expansion is a must i think for external backup and such. our HTC one stereo speakers are just soo soo good though I'm gonna miss it for sure. AMOLED is a must for my next phone it's just so beautiful! ofcourse the camera has to be superior too.
at the moment i really am considering OnePlus due to its versatility and support and since I'm not from the US so pixel is out for me. to be honest, I'm gonna wait for note 8 and Nokia flagship to come out before i make my final decision. I grew up with Nokia if the flagship turns out to be superior I maybe going with Nokia i think.
If you are considering the Galaxy S8 or S8+ but miss the stereo speakers of many HTC phones dont forget the S8 and S8+ are remoured to also have stereo speakers,top and bottom. Though not at front ofcourse.
But guess we'll have to wait and see for sure.
On the topic of the E9+ and software updates I have recently emailed HTC support India side and they actually got back to me.
They did say the E9+ is only upgradeable to Marshmallow meaning it wont get Nougat.
But they didnt actually say it will be getting Marshmallow,only that its only upgradeable to Marshmallow.
I messaged them back asking if it will still defo be getting Marshmallow though. Still waiting for reply.
But it did sound like it will be getting it,but they cannot give me a timeframe as to when though.

out of curiosity, are you on stock e9+ or you have custom rom installed? if custom what room did you use? I'm from Malaysia and the only rom that works for me is E9pw_Android5.0_Sense70_E1.zip which I got from this site and it works just ok but not that great imo https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/boycracked.com/2016/02/05/official-stock-rom-firmwareruu-htc-one-e9-plus-a55ml-e9pw/amp/
Im on stock rom.
One advice. Don't buy **** models instead of flagship next time.
It's always the same with HTC, we should learn that at the end, is a ****ty company.

There is a very simple method to avoid phones like this with no support. Before purchase look into specs and search for "CPU" row. You see anything with "Mediatek" in the name you immediately forget about purchasing this phone. Works everytime.

The fact there realising newer phones every 5 seconds!!!. I am finding the G5 to be one, if not one of the worse unstable phones I have ever had!.
I had the G4 before and then changed to the G5 when it came out 3/4 months ago (think it was when it was first released in UK?). The Google screen (when you swipe left) always says that "Launcher 3 Has Stopped working" and also call quality is bad with calling people.. (from what they have said lol).
I don't think it's a faulity device, as I have done full system reset and not really into rooting etc.. I just can't believe how buggy the phone is and as mentioned. Even when I bought it brand new/factory sealed. There was no updates. It's as though they don't care as there more bothered about the other handsets in the Moto series!.

Hello All.
I'm on reteu software channel and yesterday I have recieved an OTA update that contains some improvement and android security patch 1 march. All went well except that it totally failed to install, first it tried to boot back, but froze when starting android window popped up, then I had to reboot it manually and then it ended up on a recovery screen showing error.
After the third reboot it managed to restart properly but gapps had been reset to default.
This is an xt1676 3gb ram model, with locked bootloader.
New build version Npp25.13-72
It is possible that this was an isolated case, but wanted to warn you guys
Hey guys, i know the lava red edition is only available in china soon.
Do you think there is any chance we can get this edition in europe?
I thought, maybe ordering it through vpn??
Also im interested when this edition will be released.
Any help would be appreciated
I'm sure you'd be able to see the red OnePlus with a vpn but I don't think you'll be able to ship it out to where you actually are. I could be wrong though
Living in China, I ordered mine this sunday.
Do you think it's exactly the same build than the normal 5t?
I mean, can I install the O2 OS of the normal 5t version in it?

How you can see your build number: go to settings - scroll down to about phone - the build number should be written there. But i think it doesnt matter. You can in install every custom rom also on the red model because you have the same hardware

The package is exactly the same as the normale 5t. Even the quick guide is the global one with many different languages.

Will you use a VPN for your shipment address too? I don't think that will work. Still in Europe you will have 2 years warranty if it has CE (i doubt china versions has it)
Two years ago, I did buy a Mate 8 in China. But Huawei Switzerland told me, they can not offer waranty for this device, because I did buy it in China and not in Switzerland. Therefore it would be interessting to know how Oneplus is handling waranty with devices which are bought outside of your home country.

Last Thursday, November 21st 2019, I made the biggest mistake of my life... I bought the MATE 20 X 3 months ago and all worked perfect with the EMUI 9.1. Thursday Evening I got the notification that the new EMUI 10 was ready to be installed, and I did it.
Now my phone it is unusable. When I start the phone I get a warning message telling me that I'm using a different version of the operating system. If I press the power button, I enter in eRecovery mode and any option I choose ends with error. I cannot do the Recovery over WIFI, I'm getting PACKAGE ERROR.
When I enter in FASTBOOTMODE, I got the ANDROID LOGO (GREEN ROBOT) and below 2 message Phone Locked, FDR Locked.
Can someone help me?
Thank you in advance.
Same issue
EVR-L29 C636 I'm guessing? I actually have the exact same issue. I believe according to the folks at the P30 forum as well as Huawei's website, 10.0.0.180 is NOT the final Android 10 update for the Mate 20 X. As a result, you are probably the third, or fourth at least, person with a bricked phone as a result of this update erroneously being pushed by Huawei.
You may attempt to contact them, but I don't think they can help if you're in the States. Mine has a Malaysia warranty (3 years nonetheless) and I haven't even bothered to contact because I have heard they are wholly unable to help.
PSA TO EVERYONE WITH AN EVR-L29 C636: DO NOT UPDATE TO ANDROID 10 UNTIL THE FINAL OTA IS RELEASED. It seems this OTA is bricking devices. I tried for about 10 hours using HiSuite and many different images for the EVR-L29 C636 as well as dload images and USB drives with no success. Once you flash 10, you CANNOT downgrade it seems, unless if someone on the forum has the august wisdom to provide a solution (which would be much appreciated).
C636 here upgraded with 10.0.0.180 + patch 1
No issue at all.
wondering if thats what the "patch 1" is for....
Thank you for the answer. I have contacted HUAWEI Support and as you said they are bouncing the ball around. Mine has a Chinese Warranty. I have open a ticket in most of the countries (United States, Canada, Mexico, China and Egypt) and I'm getting different answers from everyone.
The United States support said because the MATE 20 X was not released in US there is no warranty and there is no service center that can help. They have a service center in Texas called mobiltechglobal (I have tried to send an email also to them) but they didn't reply yet and I don't know if they will.
Now they have messed up to push the EMUI 10 and they should fix it.
I was trying to find a service center in Canada that will re-flash the ROM.
I found the DC-Unlocker tool, but the MATE 20 X is not listed as supported device. Have anyone tried this tool before? I will work?
I was thinking also to buy a NM SD Card and try the TWRP, but I don't know if this will work at this point.
I'm pissed because I have paid 700 USD for a phone I have used 3 months. Actually it is a great phone, I love the Camera, the built quality, the sound and the display.
Thanks

What Cust code is your device? Do you happen to have a screenshot of the build number prior to the update when it was on emui 9.1?
Do you happen to have a screen shot of what the update screen showed?
Was your device sealed new when you bought it and from where?

Was it a Chinese model? Ngp store primarily sell the Chinese model region Huawei devices. But also the c636 one.
@IAmTheDarkOne had the same issue with his c636 model I believe.
Also, @filip_pine did a discussion on here elaborating on what a factory sealed box looks like. The general consensus was those with security stickers on were opened before once.

Hopefully iamthedarkone will chime in for that answer to your question.

Is this a potential issue only for C636 and not C432?

Seems like it, I was trying to search for a solution and pretty much the solution is to sit and wait.

Was it a Chinese model? Ngp store primarily sell the Chinese model region Huawei devices. But also the c636 one.
@IAmTheDarkOne had the same issue with his c636 model I believe.
Also, @filip_pine did a discussion on here elaborating on what a factory sealed box looks like. The general consensus was those with security stickers on were opened before once.

judging from your post youre pointing towards the possibility of the shop selling modified AL00 models from china that were changed with a C636 cust, is that correct? this in turn potentially leading to a bricked device when a C636 EMUI10 update is pushed to an original AL00 device.

No, that's not what I was saying. I don't think they can change al00 to a full blown evr-l29. In any case NGP Store also sells global variant, most probably the c636 which op has.
NGP is legit, I bought a tablet from them a while ago, plus they sell their Amazon returns on Swappa.,which I've seen many listed there. He's too expensive for me though these days.lol

Correct it was the same problem. I'm hoping when we get some dload packages for 10.0.0.180 we should be able to unbrick it. My current understanding was that my dload attempts have failed because erecovery will not allow you to downgrade from 10 to 9.1 without using hisuite from within android so the hope is that once we can get our hands on a 10 dload package it should just be a matter of using either erecovery via wifi or dload method to recover.

Thank you for the answer. I have contacted HUAWEI Support and as you said they are bouncing the ball around. Mine has a Chinese Warranty. I have open a ticket in most of the countries (United States, Canada, Mexico, China and Egypt) and I'm getting different answers from everyone.
The United States support said because the MATE 20 X was not released in US there is no warranty and there is no service center that can help. They have a service center in Texas called mobiltechglobal (I have tried to send an email also to them) but they didn't reply yet and I don't know if they will.
Now they have messed up to push the EMUI 10 and they should fix it.
I was trying to find a service center in Canada that will re-flash the ROM.
I found the DC-Unlocker tool, but the MATE 20 X is not listed as supported device. Have anyone tried this tool before? I will work?
I was thinking also to buy a NM SD Card and try the TWRP, but I don't know if this will work at this point.
I'm pissed because I have paid 700 USD for a phone I have used 3 months. Actually it is a great phone, I love the Camera, the built quality, the sound and the display.
Thanks

Sorry bud. I have the exact same problem. I tried dc-phoenix but it fails to write to system so don't waste your money like I did. If your phone is locked which puts you in the same boat as me all you can do is wait for 10.0.0.180 to come out as a dload package then use otg to update

Seems to be the case. Huawei hong kong told me the only way they'd warranty is if I send it to a relative in hong kong to deal with it lol. I don't got those. They won't even let me pay shipping both ways so this whole ordeal with huawei has left a very bad taste in my mouth. I was already choked about the removal of bootloader unlock codes. From what I've gotten here the only way to fix it will be to wait until they release the full 10.0.0.180 firmware and I don't have that kinda time.
I still get the last laugh though. I'm canadian. They didn't honor my warranty and we're holding their CFO lol

Thank you a lot, So I'm not alone... LOL... Now yestarday HUAWEI US replied to my email and they told me to open a service ticket with HUAWEI China. First I don't speak Chinese and also in Order to open a ticket you have to provide a Chinese address.
I also tried to contact a HUAWEI Service center in Italy and they told me that they will be able to fix it, but I have to send them the phone. I checked and the shipping cost are very high. So I'll be patient and I'll wait. End of the story, if I understood correctly, once the full 10.0.0.180 firmware will be released I should be able to use the eRecovery and the phone will be back as new? Thank you guys for your support.

Last Thursday, November 21st 2019, I made the biggest mistake of my life... I bought the MATE 20 X 3 months ago and all worked perfect with the EMUI 9.1. Thursday Evening I got the notification that the new EMUI 10 was ready to be installed, and I did it.
Now my phone it is unusable. When I start the phone I get a warning message telling me that I'm using a different version of the operating system. If I press the power button, I enter in eRecovery mode and any option I choose ends with error. I cannot do the Recovery over WIFI, I'm getting PACKAGE ERROR.
When I enter in FASTBOOTMODE, I got the ANDROID LOGO (GREEN ROBOT) and below 2 message Phone Locked, FDR Locked.
Can someone help me?
Thank you in advance.

I experienced similar issue. I installed a beta app on my Mate 20x but did not login using the Huawei ID. After few days, I received an update to build 10.0.0.180. I thought this is the stable update and installed it. Now my phone is soft bricked. I have my family pictures on the phone which are not backed up. My bootloader is locked. And I did not install any custom recovery or firmware. I did not use any external tools.
I tried recovery with hisuite and erecovery but every thing fails.
Are you guys sure that soft brick will resolve after they release it for phone's region. My Mate 20 X is from Singapore but I live in the UK. This is really bad of Huawei to push an OTA which bricks people's phone.
