I can't say I am surprised, but I thought I'd ask and see what they say. Here's an email and the response I received.
Me:
Hello, Before I order the 8, I'd like to know if you provide the means / process to unlock the bootloader for your devices. I typically run stock Android, which I know you provide, but occasionally like to run custom ROM's as well. An unlocked bootloader will allow flexibility, and providing the ability to unlock will gain you a following in the modding community. Thanks!
Nokia:
Regarding your inquiry about the bootloader unlock for the Nokia 8, please be informed that we may not provide this information.
Additionally, please note that unlocking the bootloader for the device will void the warranty and we therefore do not recommend it.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Best regards,
Nokia Mobile Care team
Now, I am really having a hard time coming up with a NEED for the bootloader to be unlocked... unless I need it to flash another region to add bands that aren't available on my device... maybe?

Well, the question specifically was not about root, but about unlocking the bootloader, which entirely different... dude.:silly:

I wouldn't jump ship yet. Fact is, it still may be very easy to unlock the bootloader and gain root, as the device is runing bone stock Android. Frankly, there is not much left that I need root for.
For me, however, the 8 presents a specific problem. I live in the US, and the bands that are listed as supported are missing some LTE bands I really need (12 specifically). I am aware that there are ways to enable available bands for some devices, but I think you NEED an unlocked bl to get that done.
Thats likely a deal breaker for me. :crying:

Thanks for reassuring!
Just taught to have a little chat with support too...
Maybe there's still a way to flash TWRP without unlocking the bootloader. They did it for example on the Nokia 6 by booting into what they call 9008 port mode (EDL in other words) and flashed the recovery with a tool named MiFlash in that mode. (Link to Nokia 6 thread)

This is simply ridiculous and not treating the customers serious enough.
Hi all,
i found an option in Developer Options -> OEM unlocking ->allow the bootloader to be unlocked.
To get developer options tap 8 times "Build number" in About Phone section of settings.
I hope this is the right way for unlocking bootloader.

We already know that. Enabling that setting doesn't do anything.
anyone tried unlocking bootloader via fastboot?
before i get flamed for being a noob, yes i know you need to enter a code or something to unlock bootloaders unlike pixel/google phones.
no harm trying right?
Hmm. I know some devices in my past have not required an unlocked bootloader to allow root, but I'm not savvy enougb to figure out if its possible on this device.
And rooting will NOT void warranty in EU.

Hasn't a case like this have already been handled by a court. Consumer was right.

I could only get the 8 into Download mode and could not install it as a FastBoot device.
Sure sucks that they seemingly won't allow this. I was interested in a Nokia phone as well. HMD have even said they want their phones to be like the new Nexus. They really need to support the custom ROM community if so!
Ok so, I can get the device to boot into bootloader(download mode) and somekind of a recovery, trough ADB in windows.
But no luck on "fastboot oem unlock" command. --FAILED <remote : flashing unlock is not allowed

Hi Daniel,
Does unlocking bootloader violates the guarantee/warranty?
I just purchased Nokia 8 5 days ago.
Thanks.

If you are in the EU, no unlocking the bootloader does not void your warranty. It's protect under EU laws. Someone mentioned that in earlier posts. Unless you are in asia or some other parts of the world where they screw consumers in favor of big businesses.
and if you had read through, there is currently no way to unlock the bootloader on the nokia 8. If there was a way and devs are willing to move over to this beautiful device, i'd get it in a heartbeat.

Bootloader issues
There is a great problem in unlocking bootloader....
Then only we can install custom rom...
Without unlocking there is no twrp/cwm recovery
if we dont have it we cant able to install it
you need to ask support team of tenor g by email...
I am always asking them but they are not giving us valuable reply
I was watching how to compile roms... But we will need a device source tree for compiling roms
Before that we neet to unlock bootloader
Can anyone try this command in fastboot mode and confirm if bootloader unlocks?
fastboot oem unlock
Make sure u have backed up your data because it will wipe data
I have my warranty for 6 months left? so can anyone without warranty test it out?
I will start development on it after i am confident enough on compiling roms and i get my new laptop?

Yep, I'm sure someone could test it for you......that someone is YOU.
If you want it tested, test it yourself. You said your device is under warranty, that means if you brick it, you can get it replaced. If someone that does NOT have warranty bricks their device testing this for you, they will be stuck with a dead device and no way to get it replaced, whereas, YOU CAN IF IT GOES WRONG.
You're asking others to risk their device for your own convenience to protect your own device. That is is being spoiled, rude and inconsiderate.

Be sensible? I was being more sensible than you understand due to your un-awareness to certain things about android devices. You've unlocked the bootloader and used ROMs on 3-4 devices in the past 5 years, great, that gives you experience with the devices that you own. That doesn't mean much when it comes to other devices, though.
It wasn't so much a matter of whether it was a potential brick or not, it was the fact that you ask someone else to test instead of doing it yourself. Generally, using oem unlock command does not brick a device....but, you aren't exactly right. Running the oem unlock command CAN and HAS bricked devices, they are device specific scenarios though. I have an RCA tablet that is unrecoverable due to using fastboot to unlock bootloader and that was on 4.4, long before all the extra security measures implemented by manufacturers and carriers today ever came along. Bootloader unlocking these days can be much more tricky than it was on that old device. So, as you said, do your research. I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't already know.
Also, you are aware that even if you tried the command and it unlocked your bootloader, you could easily relock the bootloader, which wouldn't void your warranty unless the manufacturer/carrier was standing right there looking over your shoulder when you unlocked the bootloader?

My point was to be careful what you post when it comes to unlocking bootloader these days. Bootloader unlocking gets more tricky by the day with all the coding and security measures used by manufacturers and carriers as time goes on. They are getting better at creating roadblocks for people like us. As these measures evolve, more and more users are breaking devices due to encountering security measures on their device that they were unaware of.

I did a search for "generic TWRP for snapdragon 625".
I didn't find anything, all I found was mention of using treble.
I'm not sure there can even be such a thing as generic TWRP due to the way it has to be built specific to the hardware in the device.

Typically, a locked bootloader won't allow this to work, the locked bootloader will see that the TWRP.img is not your stock recovery and won't allow it to boot.

Hello Guys,
long i searched for a method of unlocking the bootloader of eml-l29 Huawei P20. No i didnt find any, and qu1ckr00t didnt prove to be useful either.
it is not relevant anymore. since i did use testpoint too often in research of what is possible and what not, the device died just a few minutes ago. it always enters now only the usb huawei com mode. probably i used to much pressure on the testpoints or what or i accidentally short circuited other points with the screwdrivers.. but as a matter of fact, it is hardware bricked and the board is done for i think. so i dont search for a solution anymore.
people, see this thread as a resource what is possible without unlocking the bootloader and what not. i figured out following things are fact without unlocking the bootloader, so that you all doesn't have to try instead of me:
- you can flash with the testpoint short circuited and the software dc-phoenix and the right chipset/cpu bootloader chosen in temporary bootloader the twrp to erecovery_ramdisk and recovery_ramdisk, it will be permanently available after the process
- you cannot install magisk on it, since xloader seems to block the bootup and always sends you to recovery-mode (which means twrp if you flashed this)
- you cannot install a custom rom like OpenKirin with the testpoint recovery mode, as it - like with magisk, always will send you to recovery mode - i tried it exactly how it is explained on openkirin.net and it always turned out the same
- there is no bootloader unlock code in the nvme partition, i checked it - it seems there is encryption going on there
- the exploit qu1ckr00t is not usable, since the kernel is compiled with spinlock_debug
- and i forgot first: if you have the idea of soldering a cable for testpoint short circuit - no, letit be. you will only hang forever in huawei usb com 1.0 mode - it wont boot normally as long as you're in tp mode
so basically, there is way to get root, it is a way to get to direct data from the partitions. but at the end, the question that arises is - how much profit are you gaining from root or custom roms on this device at the end? in my case, the many tries costed my time, my nerves and now the device itself. it is gone for good. maybe this is for the best, as i never treated it right since i bought it (it had to be repaired two times in 2 years, which is a lot for a normal device at this amount of time) and i only have bad memories in my life with it (lots of things happened, but this is not the right place for such tellings).
my final message for this part of this board (not the board i damaged thou) - leave it alone, don't waste your time anymore on this. move on, there are cheap devices that are better, faster and unlockable too at this day and time. i moved on to my new Nokia 7.2, which is awesome.
so stay healthy guyz.
my journey of exploring the depths of huaweis device huawei p20 eml-l29 ends here. its sad, but at the same time i'm happy that the "horror" of an unlockable bootloader is finally over.
Thanks for your effort and sharing the info. Good luck with new phone
Note: my next phone won't be Huawei, for sure, due to bootloader locking, I am fed up with them
Yes,
I even have no sorry with them if they go down because of the Google lockout. Their strategy is to pull people away from Google PlayStore? Yes, sure. Good luck.
Unlock bootloader and promise to keep it open for P10 upwards and we are happy. Otherwise... byebye and fcku.

Hi community
First Thanks to the people who take time to help, and admin that create that forum. Im always glad to see that s there is still people caring about helping each other
I come to you cause I spent the last 2 days trying to fix my brand new phone.
Brand : Xiaomi
Model : Mi ultra
My Computer : MacBook Air
Problem : "The system has been destroy"
Other problem :
- USB debugging OFF (not able to access to the phone in any way)
- Bootloader Locked
How its happen :
After installing an EU Rom, I re locked the boot loader using Adb... And it crashed.
I tried almost everything you find on internet using a Mac and till now nothing worked.
I tried to unlock the boot loader using ADB, which one the only thing who seems to be working and I got an error message saying that the Miunlocktools was too old ... ?
The token was available, as I already unlock it.
Does anyone know how I can switch ON the debugging mode without accessing my phone, or Unlock the boot loader using my Mac.
It seems there is solution possible but using windows computer, and tbh I will not buy a computer just for that.. for the moment
Thanks in advance to everyone
PS : I will offer 50USD straight in BTC to the one who will provide me the solution that will help me to fix it
Locking / unlocking a phone's bootloader is done by means of Fastboot, not ADB.
ADB & Fastboot are 2 completely different things. Don't confuse them.
AFAIK you can't enable ADB ( USB debugging ) from outside, this can only get enabled from inside ( Android Settings -> Developer options ) unless one creates/provides a flashable, properly signed ZIP that contains the code ( read: update-binary script ) to rewrite device's build.prop file entries accordingly.
BTW: A locked bootloader always tries to run device's Stock ROM.
Thanks for your quick answer. In other word, is it possible ? I am looking for what you say.
If I rewrite it, will I be able to switch it ON then ?
Im not at all a professional , that's my first step in this "world". It seems difficult, I will need to read a lot I think
What do you think about the EDL cable also, do you think it can work ?

IDK.
Never have bricked a phone. And I never owned a Xiaomi device.
locking a bootloader (at least in xiaomi phones )results in the phone being reformatted and the stock rom is installed
also try installing the newest version of miunlock https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
you might have to wait 7 days or less or more or might not have to

Hi
I re locked the boot loader myself so I unlocked it before
Thats the version I have but in the terminal I got a message saying version is too old...
Hi everybody
I'm struggling with pixel 3 OEM enabling which is already grayout and carrier locked issue
I done anything but this thing is still locked
Is there anyway to unlock it? Or cross rom to global to unlock it?
Its looks like verizon
Thanks
Unfortunately a Verizon branded Pixel is not unlockable, and it is not possible to reflash the global firmware because flashing anything requires an unlocked bootloader.
If you aren't sure it's Verizon, you can try this:
Remove the SIM
Factory reset the device
Skip through setup, make sure you connect to a wireless network
Manually set the clock 1 week ahead
Use *#*#checkin#*#* to force a checkin
Leave the device overnight and see if OEM Unlocking is toggleable
Again, if this is for sure a Verizon device, unlocking the bootloader is not possible.

Again, if this was possible, we wouldn't be having this conversation. As with most Qualcomm devices, the Pixel 3 has a QPST mode - for Qualcomm Product Support Tool. This tool is not freely available. As far as I know, it can only be used to write binary images to the chips as one might when attempting to resurrect the device; it cannot be used to dump the contents of a device. This idea has been explored before to no success. Unlocking the Verizon bootloader simply isn't possible, and there simply isn't any way around it.

As far as I know, it can only be used to write binary images to the chips as one might when attempting to resurrect the device; it cannot be used to dump the contents of a device. This idea has been explored before to no success. Unlocking the Verizon bootloader simply isn't possible, and there simply isn't any way around it.

You could if we had the binary files for use with QPST, but we don't. A bricked device can only be recovered by someone with both the necessary tools and binary images, which again are not available.
