Nokia 8 Unofficial Bootloader unlock coming ( though paid for the moment ) - Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Mod Edit: Content Removed and thread closed. This thread served as an advertisement for a paid unlock service offered by another xda member. Since that violates rule 11 of xda's site rules, its not to be discussed here. Thanks!

This is a great long-awaited event! I hope for an open service for the global version.

Unlocked mine [happy] , thanks <mod snip> . Guys - go ahead !! Make our device the based SOC 835 device available in the market.

Well this is a great news.. Finally people will be able to use this phone to it's full extent..
Hope developers will also take interest in this device now.

great news, but to late on nokia 8 will no development growing.

I have to agree that it won't get that much dev work done. If at all.
Never buying a nokia again though. Instead of saving up a couple of dollars to get the specs it has, I'd rather spend a good amount on some other phone with more dev-community support.

Atleast minimum a custom recovery is required. Rest can be done by the common users !

Nokia is not for enthusiasts.

But there is no other SOC 835 based phone with almost vanilla Google ROM in that price range are available. This device is having enormous potential - but HMD global taken wrong decision !!! Bad luck for us.

I have nokia 8 chinese version (TA-1052).
How can I request unlock bootloader?

Mate 9 development

Hello everyone,
I am coming from Samsung phones , Xiaomi, HTC and there have been many custom ROM's and development and everything was FREE , and I find Mate 9 forum very empty and and even those who developed something ask for money and very complicated procedures, why is this happening in huawei forums?
I plan to sell my Mighty Mate 9 because can't seem to find support in forums or everywhere else !
What do you think will this forum change or it will be this way , I am new to huawei and I don't know much about this...

Obviously should have done research before investing into the mate 9.
There is forums for previous devices that would have given you the information about the modding community with Huawei.
You don't buy Huawei and other manufacturers not listed above for the modding community.
The funkyhuawei stuff is only the dev. He invest his time and pays for the server's out of his own pocket. Nothing wrong with asking for donation. This is not samsung, HTC etc where things are widely available and 100s of devs jumping on board.
Most of these type of niche devices are better supported by dev community overseas.
Now since this is the first official mate for the usa things might happen with a little patience.
USA sales has just started! which is a good thing for future development... Hopefully we will see what's cooking!

Can't be much different, especially in comparison to Xiaomi. Xiaomi doesn't release source until the device is 6-12mo old = no development for newer devices.

I guess no Android 7 for Redmi 4 device

Translation if exact:
Hi everyone is
concerned about the recent part of rice noodles care about the red rice phone 4 high version with Android 7.0, this proposal we have noticed very early, and the internal communication and coordination. The latest conclusion is that the red rice cell phone 4 version with no adaptation of Android 7.0 plan. Here's a detailed description of the situation with you.
Some people say that the underlying Android is not a very simple matter? In actual fact, each time the end-of-package version upgrade is a huge project, which involves various aspects of adaptation, adjustment, etc., the actual work is very complicated. Each Android version update, we will seriously evaluate, not to simply upgrade the Android version number and adaptation. In fact, many of MIUI system features experience even earlier than the Android version, such as rights management, wake up power-saving features such as MIUI is the first. We very much hope that through the MIUI system upgrade to bring you more fun and easy to use features.
After engineers, product managers and project management departments negotiate a number of comprehensive assessment and decision, red rice cell phone 4 high version with no current Android 7.x adaptation plan. But for everyone concerned about the split screen, portal, information assistant function, as well as MIUI 9 stable version of the release plan has some new progress, and here to share with you.
Split screen:
split screen team engineers are currently actively adapted based on Android 6.x models, is expected to go online in early January to 6.x trial version of the model to be tested until the test is completed, it will go online to the development version And follow-up stable version.
Portal:
Currently supports Android 5.x and above models.
Information Assistant:
Currently supports Android 5.x and above models, Android 4.4 version of the model support does not include "My expenses", "My Favorites" two cards other information assistant function.
MIUI 9 stable version:
Red rice cell phone 4 standard / high version of the MIUI 9 stable version has been tested in-house, is expected in mid-to-late open part of the rice for closed beta, to be tested after the push update to everyone upgrade, will push to upgrade, please everyone rest assured.
MIUI is committed to providing you with a better system experience. For the Android underlay, we also make a comprehensive evaluation based on the characteristics of different models to determine the fit plan. Thank you for your love of millet and MIUI team work understanding, and sometimes, do not say do not mean do not do, we must do a good job, this is MIUI
If you have a better idea, please leave a message with us Exchange ~

I guess its time to flush this mobile in toilet.
It was a nice sad story with Xiaomi and i wish this company will learn about valuable customers.
I still have faith in Xiaomi if they changed themselves.
Picture taken with OP5
That was expected.But still noone gives a valid explanation why same hardwarre, different screen size phone will get android 7 and not RN4 prime.The whole situation is a joke.

One possible explanation is that probably markw isn't actually a xiaomi's in-house product and they dumping it because ODM is failing to/not interested in/refusing to provide xiaomi with updated kernel/blobs. "It's too complex" explanation is too childish to be heard from technology corporation.

Not only childish but insulting too.You can't dump a phone you sell as prime/pro and people paid signifficant more money not only for better hardware but better support too.After mi2s and R4P i think i'm done with xiaomi.On top of that, it seems the new Redmi's have smaller batteries so i can't find a good reason to trust xiaomi for my next phone.

Are they going to replace our markws with this at no price and will take legal obligations to provide base system updates for at least two major versions? No? Then thanks, but no, thanks. Personally, I'll keep using mine till noticeable battery degradation. Then I'll switch to other vendor.

Yeah 636, the new holy grail for two more years i guess.So basically 10-15% performance bump, unknown support policy, significant smaller battery and no medium size screen.Oh right...maybe they'll make a prime version with sd 660, after 6-8 months of the first R5 release, wich will come with android 7 and stay with 7 just a few months before the R6 release.Nope...

Xiaomi constantly ignores requests on their own forum, what makes you think this petition would be noticed? I would rather suggest mass recruitment requests for beta-testing Oreo (who needs Nougat, anyway?) in a (very little) hope these requests are processed by officials (unlike forum requests that are moderated by usual users, mods there aren't xiaomi employees, afaik) and there will be some kind of output.

Weak development for the 6x?

Just picked up my new Honor 6x(BLN-L24) from Best Buy because I'm tired of only having 2GB RAM on my Honor 5x. Unfortunately I didn't come here before ordering because if I had I would have noticed only a fraction of dev support compared to what is available for the 5x, and I would have not purchased the 6x.
Anyway, I tried flashing HassanMirza01's LineageOS 14.1 but after letting it sit 3 times on animated boot logo screen for over 30 minutes each time I wiped everything and read through the rest of the ROMs in the dev section. Either the ROMs have currently reported install problems, or in the case of all Meticulus ROMs the download links are gone. None seem to be working correctly or near stable for daily use unless I'm missing something here.
At this point I'm following the dload method to go back to latest stock and honestly thinking about just returning the phone to Best Buy. It's quite disappointing seeing such a small amount of support for it. Is that because there is something wrong or difficult with this phone when it comes to development?
The weak development is because Huawei/Honor hasn't released source code yet (I guess, but I've seen a link for my BLL-L23 source code some time ago).
A thing I don't like about H6X devs is that lately they have (strangely) "spammed" their ports from other Huawei devices, maybe without improving the ported codes. I mean, about 6 ROMs in just a few days, with the same ported S.C... That's suspicious
But, since I'm not a dev (sad reaction only) I can't judge their work without considering all the variables involved into their work.
I guess all this happened because of the unreleased S.C, but I'm confident this has a near end.
Cheers to all devs btw, ur work is really appreciated
I can't even return to stock. I tried the dload method, and then I tried the full return to stock where I fastboot flash boot/recovery/system and then dload the update.app. Keeps saying Software install failed! on the part where I do vol+/vol-/pwr and try the dload flash of update.app.
Have I completely bricked this phone?

You live in Missouri? :laugh: The Honor 5x is a Qualcom Snapdragon device and that chipset has plenty of official support from LineageOS. The Honor 6x is a Kirin 655 device and has absolutely NO official support what soever. You asked if there is "something wrong or difficult with this phone when it comes to development". Yes there is and for the same reason that it will NEVER had any official support from custom ROMs like Lineage: no source code.
So, if you bought your Honor 6x with expectation that your "custom rom experience" would be the same as your 5x, I'm afraid that you probably made a mistake.
As for "Where are the download links?". I mean absolutely no disrespect when I say that, if you can not find them, then it's probably for the best. :laugh:

I do not know the 'deal' that Huawei/Honor has with XDA but it seems likely to me that Huawei/Honor pays XDA to help make Huawei/Honor devices more popular by sponsoring Honor branded contests and giving away phones to 'openkirin'. I can not say for certain but I don't think that Huawei/Honor cares about 'custom ROM' development at all. It is just a vehicle, by which, XDA can make Huawei/Honor devices more popular, help increase sales and help them build their brand.

These ROMs came about because I decided to bring up my code base to operate on EMUI 5. While I was doing that I noticed the way Huawei does things in an abstract way so that the same code base can be used to build ROMs for many devices. I decided to do things in a similar way. In doing so, other quickly found out that this ROM runs on all hi6250 devices. However it is true that I do not own an Honor 6x and where this device differs from the devices that I do own, you come in. If you help me help you I might be able to fix issues. If not, well ... the choice is yours ...

Yeah absolutely- thats d strategy
But for any device to appeal for XDA public - it should have impressive development or promising atmosphere(releasing sources,support etc)
Advertisements on XDA gonna do more harm than good if they have nill dev support as every user who purchases phone seeing ad on XDA hoping good development like OP would badly be disappointed and it hurts brand value indirectly. Basically majority phones which get advertised on XDA has excellent dev support already like One plus. Huawei is missing this point.

I am not a "business expert" and I willing to bet that you are not either. We have no idea what the nature of the business relationship is, with Huawei and it's hardware partners such as Hisilicon. Perhaps Huawei is unable to be more forth coming with its source code because of agreements they have with Hisilicon. Perhaps, Hisilicon, being relatively new to the market-place has decided that keeping their userspace code closed is in their best interest, in the face of older companies like Qualcom. Who knows? I think that companies do things by the numbers and if having "good development at XDA" could produce bigger profits for them, I'm sure they would encourage it. I willing to bet that 'custom ROM' development's impact on Huawei's bottom line is negligible. XDA is more useful to them for helping to spread the word about the brand. Also, XDA also generates revenue by advertising and although it is an unfortunate fact. When a ROM is running perfectly their is less reason to come here and post. When a ROM is half working and has lots of bugs, ppl are checking constantly while waiting for bugs to get fixes. If a ROM works well, then you just flash it and go on. No reason to stick around here....
I'm just spit balling anyway.... I could be all wrong...:laugh:

I didn't see links in your rom threads, and your threads don't have the Downloads tab on them like other rom threads do. Guessing you're hosting the files directly from your website you have linked in your threads?

I like to think I've done pretty well despite any lack of resources from Huawei. On the devices I own, to me at least, my ROMs are full daily drivers. Perhaps they are not perfect but without source it was never gonna be but, afaict the bugs are minor. I have never heard anything from Huawei on publishing their source. They publish their GPL stuff which is more than some companies do. I will admit that my ROMs probably run better on the P9 Lite and the P10 Lite because I own those devices and when they have problems, I can get information personally. Something I can't do for devices I don't own.

[PETITION] Possibility to unlock the Bootloader - PLEASE SUPPORT THIS

-​
Today I have started a petition in the Nokia Phones Community for being able to unlock the bootloader on the N7+.
In my opinion that should not be a question - and it is long overdue.
I hope MANY OF YOU WILL SUPPORT THIS and we will be able very soon to have unlimited contol over our device.

@Micha El
i start too "thread" about unlocking bootloader before some days, but inappropriately in private "Developer preview" part of nokia forum... anyway without answer
You could also tweet to CPO(@sarvikas), CTO(@MikkoLJaakkola) of HMD and NokiaMobile(@Nokiamobile). It is a better way to gain visibility.
Joining the petition!
I joined petition too.
@Micha El I 100% support your petition. I would just like to add something though. Since the new Nokia smartphones are using Android OS and is already part of Android One initiative, I would like to request for Flashing tool, Fastboot & OTA files in order for users to use, update and reflash whenever users need to revert to stock factory firmware just like the Google Pixel series, the Xiaomi Mi A1, Moto X4 with Android One and all other Android One Devices.
today Honor presents his flagship in London... 399€, kirin 970, ... and we are still crying for bootloader
What we are talking about?!?!?!?!?!?
NOKIA WAKE UP!!!
I'm curious if any Nokia employee or a Nokia manager reads our post or is interested in community opinion...
Count me in

This may seem a dumb question, but whats the unlock bootloader option in development mode for ?

That option should allow you to manually unlock it via a fastboot command prompt,but even though you enable that flag, Nokia bootloader can't be unlocked because it is encrypted.

Done, but I doubt it changes anything.
Maybe if somebody highlighted it to Android Police and they wrote about it...
My post on that Nokia forums thread:
Allowing user to unlock device bootloader and gain full control over the product he bought should be obligatory for every OEM, next to releasing karnel source on the launch day.
C'mon Nokia, you're doing good with Android One, fast updates and Android P beta now. Go on and make your devices developers and moders friendly. We just want to own the device we paid for.

I've already posted on your thread, great work.
I think we should stop hoping, praying and fighting for that HMD will allow bootloader unlocking.
Even Huawei and Honor have stopped providing bootloader unlocking for all new devices launched after 5/24/2018. For devices released prior to this date, it will only be possible for 60 days from then on.
For Nokia phones now there is the alternative method to pay for unlocking the Bootloader. You need 2 setool credits, but the smallest pack you can buy are 30 credits for 90 USD. But even it it would be cheaper, I will never support this rip of.
I have paid almost 400 € for a Nokia 7 plus with wich I can make phone calls and send messages, but not much more, and the reselling price is about 220 - 240 €...
THAT IS WHAT I REALLY CALL A BAD DEAL!
Sent from my Nokia 7 plus using XDA Labs
Hi everybody,
yesterday I've open the nokia support app (every nokia user has it on is phone) to ask for bootloader unloking by chat with nokia support.
I asked to the operator why our bootloader is locked and he told me that is a Nokia developers issue.
So I told him to take note of my complaint and share it with Nokia development department.
I think you can use your app too to do the same.
If we do this massively I hope Nokia can hear us and may give importance to our request.
What do you think about it?
IMHO this could be one of most efficient way to have Nokia attention on our request!
Bye,
syncro.

OEM / bootloader unlock , we gotta standup for our selves.

Brothers, we need to standup for ourselves and stop this ***** madness.
1. I've sent Huawei many emails, it obviously didn't help.
2. If we start like a mass petition or class action or some other case together, we might stand a chance. Remember we're not the only ones with locked bootloader. / Grayed out OEM unlock in developing settings. The mate 20 pro users and possibly other models have the same issue. We have to team up.
Perhaps we can make an email format here that we copy paste and send to hauwei each of us individually. They would be spammed with say 1 million emails.
3. We have paid allot for this device , an android device should be open and customizable. There is absolutely no valid reason to lock down an android device, unless you as smartphone brand try to protect your spyware .
Anyway are you with me brothers ? Let's get the full potential for the hardware that we paid for. Huawei needs to start offering the bootloader codes again and enable OEM unlock. Period. Other resolutions are not acceptable.

I guess 99,5 % of the users don`t care about root. So it will most probably not happen. Nokia also will not provide help to unlock the bootloader as most other OEMS. Get a Samsung , Xiaomi, OnePlus or Pixel phone if you want root. You buy a phone as is, not how you want it to be.
I do not agree with your mindset. That's a typical beta give up mentality.. no offense.
Huawei used to provide the unlock service service before, and now suddenly it stopped doing so. It can't go without consequences..
I love the hardware and the big screen, there are no better alternatives at the moment.
That 99% of the people doesn't want root, it doesn't mean that the remaining 1% is wrong or need to be neglected. If 1% of the users team up we would have 200.000 plus supporters that can show their voice and that can make this happen.

Count me in too!! This insolence cannot go unpunished.
Not to play spoilsport but your suggestion would work if indeed a million people request for it. From what I understand, the Chinese version of the Huawei phones can be unlocked without issues. Only the international version has this issue. Considering that the majority of the phones sold would be Chinese (which is their main market) who are not affected and accounting for a minuscule part of the phones they sell for the global audience are that interested in rooting, getting them to do anything has a low probability. Having said that, if root is so critical for anyone, the Chinese version is always an option. Most of the issues are resolved related to the Chinese specific devices

It pains me in the heart to see where this android open community is heading. It kinda goes against my principles to pay 18 usd for an update. This is unseen with any android device I had before . Users/devs just try to help each other and make stuff public..
I hope this changes soon and that these methods are made public, instead of commercialized by 3d parties. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
P.S. MODS Please do not delete this post, It is a legitimate discussion, no need to go and censor posts on XDA, regardless of your affiliation with any third party company, users should be able to discuss their thoughts in here
Happy new ear by he way brothers and sisters!

I only wish I could pay as little as 18 dollars for something that no longer seems to exist. Cheers

You know, this bootloader problem is so annoying I wish XDA would ban phones on their site that do not have unlock codes available.
So is it hopeless? No bootloader unlock code anywhere?
