honor8 has healthy development, wish the same goes with honor9
Early days remember it's only few weeks old development will grow over time if you want instant custom ROMs buy a nexus

Just wait for honor to publish source code, then development will start the right way
After source released, then OpenKirin team can work on it.

At the moment custom ROM use stock kernel
I hope the development picks up soon.
Huawei should release source of EMUI 8 asap so we can receive O ROMs early.
It will be really good..will boost up
I'm the owner of a Honor 9 and I hope xda developers help us get the bootloader unlocked again I got this phone too late and I'm still stuck with the bootloader

Only with 3rd party, paid service: dcc unlocker. Search for guides in xda.
If you're looking for a development-friendly phone, Honor is not the solution for you. We do have a program where we give out bootloader unlock codes to a select number of people every once in a while, but there is no official support for unlocking your bootloader. This results is a very small development community.
I think everyone can agree that huawei shenanigans has ruined the development for this phone, like locked bootloader, them changing the xloader stuff so it bricks your phone when you downgrade... I just hope for the best on honor 9 development community and other development for new huawei devices, and maybe someday we'll find an exploit to these devices or the 0.00001% chance that we get a mercy from huawei and they finally give us an update on the firmware where they finally remove the bootloader lock. I'll be waiting until that day.

4. Rebranding / Change the region of your phone (China -> Europe, for example, to get Google and so on.)
5. Enabling dual-sim features on single-sim phones.
6. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)
--NOTE: SOME OF THESE FEATURES NOT AVAILABLE ON P20 SERIES YET. SEE NEXT POST--
You do not need to unlock your bootloader, or void your warranty to use the service. (except the free rooting feature)
To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service as well as our rebranding tool within the following XDA Portal article.
https://www.xda-developers.com/exclusive-att-huawei-mate-10-pro-firmware/
We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone! Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.
In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.
Please PM me for more details.
We will continue posting in this thread with updates regarding new software versions and releases regarding this device.
We will also be monitoring it so we can help anyone who has issues.
FunkyHuawei, due to popular request, is now offering an unlimited pass. You can break your phone all you want, and turn to FunkyHuawei to unbrick it however many times you need to. You can also install all the latest updates, beta versions, and so on, without worrying about spending credits. You can check out more details on FH's reddit or homepage.
For device-specific information, please see the next post.
Please be sure to read the terms of service as well as the instructions very thoroughly before using the tools, to understand the potential risks of using them.
FunkyHuawei can now offer bootloader unlock codes for all Huawei models (including recent models like P20, P20 Pro, Honor Play, and so on.)
These unlock codes can be provided for free to customers who purchase an unlimited pass from today.
See details from the link on the main page of the site.
P20 and P20 Pro Device Information.
Currently, here is what we support on the P20/P20 Pro series.
Installing new firmware/unbricking via eRecovery: SUPPORTED
Rebranding with unlocked bootloader: AVAILABLE NOW!
Rebranding with locked bootloader: COMING, MIGHT BE A WHILE
Unbricking from fastboot: COMING, MIGHT BE A WHILE
Since it is a new device on a new OS, some things have changed and we need to update some of our methods to fully support it.
Those who would like to test rebranding with an unlocked bootloader before we release it, please contact us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?
A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.
Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?
A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.
Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?
A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on recent Huawei phones (Sorry EMUI 8.1 phones not yet supported. Coming soon), to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.
Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?
A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.
Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?
A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.
Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!
A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.
Q: I have a different question.
A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!
We now have the following firmwares available to install with eRecovery method:
CLT-L29 8.1.0.107(C432) - European
CLT-L29 8.1.0.107(C636) - Asia/Pacific
More will be added soon.
CLT-L29 8.1.0.108(C185) now available for Middle East P20 Pro.
We have successfully rebranded the P20 series. Tools will be released pretty soon.

No... we don't have any contacts at Huawei to ask. AFAIK project treble will let custom rom development go on quite easily even without kernel sources.

Yes. But it's possible the phone has an internal secondary IMEI which it simply doesn't show on the settings. We haven't had a way of figuring out exactly how it works IMEI-wise, but both sims do work. It's been this way for generations of Huawei phones.

Rejoice realme users.Your beloved device will get the Android P update.
The news was made public by geekyranjit in Twitter.He said that the company has confirmed the p update for realme 1 when he enquired about the same.
Update:Now it has been confirmed by the company directly.

Im eager to buy Realme 1 but ColorOS is blocking me!
If its gonna Android P , but then also ColorOS would be ColorOS!

If Oppo doesn't Provide the Unlocking Code or Support Fastboot Binaries, then it would only depend on some Tricks or Any Loopholes that would do the same.
Lets take the Eg. Of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 , it has got bootloader unlocked and within a month Custom Roms have started to come up.
Now lets take the Other Eg. Motorola Droid Turbo (Int. Version of Moto Turbo which i was using in 2015) it doesnt have Unlockable bootloader , but within 1 year developers have successfully Unlocked the Phone!
And another, Droid Turbo 2 (Int. Version Of Moto X Force which im using now) it also had unlockable bootloader , and its going to be 2years but till now People are unsuccessful for getting Root/Unlocking due to the fix in Loophole.
So if Oppo is Not Providing the Unlocking Code or It doesn't Support Unlocking (as far as i know now) its not to be correct to assume it would get rooted/unlocked but can only hope for good.
Realme 1 has mediatek P60 AI chipset. Also Android 8 doesn't support AI feature but Android 9 (Android P) does. ColorOs 5 is supported and powered of AI feature like Battery, Camera, etc. Maybe Company push stock Android. But isn't bad ColorOS.

I think its never gonna happen! Its like Same, Mi rolling out Stock Android 8.0 insted of MIUI 10 or Honor rolling Stock Android 8.1 insted of EMUI!
I didnt used colorOS or any oppo phone before but MIUI,EMUI,UX5.0,Touchwizz... and i didnt keep up with them especially with MIUI and EMUI!
I keep Moto as my primary device (since 2013) due to stock android and simple interface.
ColorOS wouldn't be the deal breaker for the most but for some (like me) its making me think twice before buying

The phone is running on 8.1 Oreo, that means it has project treble support, so there will be no issues in unlocking the bootloader and developing a rom for the Realme 1. Just have a little patience.

Project treble means to have separate Vendor partition , so that GSI can be boot without compiling a seperate rom with a specific vendor tree. But it dosent mean treble=unlocking

Yeah, but it's a little less difficult for the developers to unlock the phone. I think you know that starting with Android 8.x (Oreo), Google separated the Vendor and Manufacturer. That means the OS can be updated without having to touch the vendor implementation. Before project treble, The Vendors have to wait for the Unlock Code from the manufacturer which was very lengthy and delaying process, at least project treble solves this issue.
Rohitshaw97 said:

Only Manufacturers signed images can be flashed with locked bootloader , so if you are planning to boot a LOS GSI you will need a Unlocked bootloader , and by no way you can sign a image as same as manufacturer so jt will fail, as far as unlocking is concerned its in the hand of oppo only bcoz i heard that oppo deleted the fastboot binaries of the phone and to unlock the bootloader ,there must be a loophole or some think which can be exploited otherwise it would suffer the same fate as droid turbo 2. In future what happens i/we dont know but till now its correct to assume that phone is unlockable bcoz oppo is not supporting bootloader unlocking
Here, look at this,
There's an option to allow permissions for unlocking Bootloader, so i think in future maybe Oppo will allow modifications.

I decided I would like to. Make a petition about terrible support for custom Rom community on Huawei devices. It's not the support itself, it is Huawei (how we all know) you know it sucks when you get an amazing deal on eBay for an p20 pro in this case and it turns out to be a demo model and you can't use it properly. Normally you as a member of the custom Rom community would unlock it and flahs latest official software on it, well not on a Huawei device, because they shut down their official unlock service quite some time ago, but I think this needs to stop. That's why I created a petition for unlocking Huawei phones officially (or whilst this isn't my goal, someone telling on how the read the code manually, but I prefer an official unlock)
[url]http://chng.it/NW5vbSJ8[/URL]
Yes, I published this once already but... It got removed I think... Never got an response
Why not just use the dload method to flash the last firmware? No need to unlock.
Huawei wants its own echosystem, unless locked bootloader affect its profit seriously, Huawei won't think bit of the choice at all. So I don't think Huawei would care about your petition.
And, after buying P20 Pro, I say thousands times of 'good bey' to Huawei.

Since i bought the P30pro the first what i made was take a look into XDA and searching for ROMs and Kernel Stuff, but what is the reason there is not only one Rom ? Is it the Fastboot Mode ?
Because Huawei doesn't allow us to unlock bootloaders. The worse company it's Huawei, too bad that they're making great devices, but customer support it's 0.
Huawei doesnt allow their bootloaders to be unlocked, they stopped giving out bootloader codes when they release EMUI 9
maybe because the chinese party doesn't want to lose the tracking code embedded in the official rom of Huawei devices
Many users waiting for a hack to do it.
Awesome device I love it all year's i use it already. One if the best phones i ever used.
But without custom stuff it feels always old :/
Maybe I have to learn coding and Hack the bootloader on my own
