Can I Install Android 10 in USA? - Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers

I want to buy the mate 20X. Since I live in USA can I install android 10 on it? If I .have problems installing it in USA, are there other ways of installing it?

My dad's Hong Kong unit still hasn't received Android 10/EMUI 10 despite changing the region in HiCare to other countries. YMMV.

I have the l29 model in south carolina and am running emui android 10 no problems

Don't you also need to use a VPN to connect to a server of said country? Worked for me months ago but not sure if that was down to my vpn or not.

Now that you mentioned that I should try that. I know with my OnePlus I use to do that in order to get updates quicker.

I've hestd about that too. Someone mentioned using a foreign sim. But I think you should use both sim and vpn to ensure the update goes through. Its cat and mouse with huawei. Can't understand how they're the #2 handset maker in the world with all these issues and unnecessary mistakes.

I live in the USA and used the Huawei HiSuite app on my computer to update my Mate 20x to Android 10.

HiSuite never shows any updates on my end. Did you manually point it to a file or did it automatically find and download it?
I'm still on 9.0.0....

I automatically installed the latest update. The weird thing is I own two Mate 20X and the other will not update. I can't figure it out. I have tried everything I know to do.

Yesterday was Snapdragon, OP is asking for Exynos
Was not aware any Exynos was released yesterday?
The beta was released for South Korea yesterday (15 June) so it should be available for Exynos already.

yeah, I somehow manage to find a korean student and use her sim to register korean beta program and it works.
but for those who not have access to beta program, odin firmware would be helpful

well,Ive tried to flash latest released firmware and format the whole disk of my phone and start over without sim or wifi and location,it just the same pop-up and requires a sim that match your phone's carrier. So, the only way is to get a sim even it is out of service or no service. And guys, there is already a custom pie rom for G965F/FD/N in this forum, go check it out!
here's the link of custom PIE rom for G965F/FD/N

The firmware started roling out in Germany. G960F Exynos, DBT CSC. Waiting for OTA captured zip.

Updating has nothing to do with the SIM!!! I have AT&T and T-Mobile SIMs in mine and have used Huawei HiCare app from Play Store to get my last updates, they wouldn't show up via Settings -> System & updates -> Software update on phone.

You were able to update cuz you have AL00 version which is chinese and more flexible. We have the L29 which is singapore based that can only update with singapore sim or manual download via flash drive which is not currently possible cuz huawei hasnt released the 10.1 fw on their website for manual download.
Buy Chinese sim from amazon in US.. I bought unicom.. Insert it and connect to WiFi and all updates will come

Question Chinese version in U.S

Hi guys. I have a question. My mom will go to china, what if I ask her to get one ONEPLUS 11 from China. Is it working good in U.S? anything issues? Should I install U.S version? How?
yes, it will work perfectly but , it must be activated in china firstly ,or u will get an area locked phone.
or~go find an OPPO store if u can , they can unlock it.
the china version os didn't have full function Google services,i think its better to install the oxygen os.
check this out https://yun.daxiaamu.com/OnePlus_Roms/一加11/
On cos you need only to instal the google playstore

I prefer to install the oxygen OS, cause that OS works well in U.S. but is it still have area lock after install the oxygen OS? I think before doesn't have this issue, is it just start this year?

afraid that's not enough because app's like android auto would run only if it was installed as system app.

If you buy a phone from a Chinese seller with a color OS, you may have the surprise of a blocked phone when you activate it outside of China.
But now there are external versions with Oxygen unlocked

as i know it cannot be done online. I also don't know what will happen if u flash an oxygen os into it when it's unactivated.
if I was planning to do what ur going to, I will chose to go to the OPPO store.

You should activate the phone first or you will get a region lock; A lot of things don't work in ColorOS, like android auto etc.; if you convert it to OxygenOS, there are a lot of headaches also.

I can't connect via magic suite no matter what I do. File transfer on, USB debugging on, HDB on, restarted the pc after installing honor suite... I'm out of ideas. On My Honor app I can't find a way to do that, seems quite limited.

In the My Honor settings, change the regions, on one of them you will have a warranty and update buttons.

Changing to UK does show up a system update button, but that just goes to settings and says I'm up to date
Is it possible the update just isn't available in my country yet? Or is everyone up to date already?
