Which regions and which products in which version can apply for upgrading Android 9.0 services through HiCare registration?

Under normal circumstances, you will receive the Android 9.0/EMUI 9.0 version within two hours. But due to a large number of applicants, the system will have a little bit delayed to send the version timely. Please be patient.

And after a week ago, if you still can’t receive the version, please follow the steps: Please check if your phone is on the applicable version by Settings>System >About phone > Build number.

For another version, please upgrade to the applicable version by Settings ->System ->System update.

Or, please check if the HiCare meet the needs by HiCare – Service -Update.

Are you still waiting for the new version, please confirm that:

1. A local SIM card is in your device.

2. A local network is used.

3. Go to Settings -> Apps -> Updater -> Storage -> Clear data.

After that, if the problem persists, please write to Huawei Support in your country with your “IMEI number” and “build number” (Only if required) of your device (You can find the numbers bySettings-> About phone -> Build number or SN).  They will push the software upgrade package as soon as possible.
