Hello people, For the past few months I have been trying to upgrade my Huawei Nova 3i from android 8.2 to the new and efficient android 9(pie) made available by Huawei via their System Upgrade feature in the phone settings, I have watched various videos from Youtube on how to upgrade and even the features of the new android 9 was shown in the videos.

The problem I faced was; I always end up with the message the "Your version is up to date" each time I try checking for an update. I tried flashing the huawei with the android 9 stock rom I downloaded from a reliable source but I ended up not being able to because I have to unlock bootloader on my device first before having the access to flash. Having the unlock code cost about $55 on the net. So I decided to contact Huawei customer support for the code since the used to "give" before but was told they no longer run the bootloader unlock services for "security reasons". I now asked the support agent if their android pie update is available for Africa and Nigeria, she said the update was rolled out for africa on the 6th of June i.e this month oh and I will receive it shortly.

Now, I want to ask who in Nigeria has received an update for android pie(9) or as carried out the upgrade to android 9 in Nigeria here. If you have kindly give me a run down on the steps you took and the Network Provider a.k.a sim card you used to do the upgrade. Please you can tag/mention a tech. related user on Nairaland you know, as I don't know much
