Hi,
I want to get my bootloader unlocked for snapdragon version but I there are not many roms available.
I am looking for Lineage OS or Miuirom or pixel rom.
Any idea when we can get them.
Thanks

Snapdragon can't be rooted past bootloader 2. As far as roms go, there are only stock roms, but somewhere on the forum its mentioned about GSI roms, but VOLTE is broken because its always been a samsung issue and not much work being done. I'm sure there are a few people out there working on personal builds, but nothing released to the public that I've seen. (Aside from Exynos)

Is the phone treble enabled?

Hello Everyone!
I'm currently trying to decide whether to get the Honor Note 10, or the Xiaomi Mi Max 3. While the former clearly shows strength in terms of processing power, design etc., the later one has a major advantage in software due to it having treble support.
Hence, if I may ask to those of you who already have the phone, is the device treble enabled? I currently have my OnePlus 5 running Android Pie because of treble, and I would like to have my secondary phone be as flexible as well! I am highly aware that the bootloader unlock requires a paid service, but a few dollars for having barebones AOSP roms would be something I look forward to.
Thank you in advance to those who'll answer!

Yeah! So that it may be possible to flash GSI roms
Hi,
As Huawei doesn't allow to unlock the bootloader, you won't be able to install any GSI to it...
Some people report to have managed to unlock it with a paid option and to install TWRP.
But I am almost certain that even if they did and assuming a GSI will install and boot, you'll end up with a crippled device with features missing or not working...
I'd like to see that also but I think for now I'll stick to stock to no get stuck ,?

Well, maybe we could find workarounds for it... But I do understand your point with having incompatible roms.. I have bricked a device before because of it. But I hope someone knowledgable could look into this, especially those who work on the Honor 10 and Honor View 10 . Anyways, I guess I'll just try by myself, got my unit just today :fingers-crossed:
Is Note 10 a A only device?

Is there any way to install Custom ROMS after updating to EMUI9?

Hi everyone,
I got my p20 at release so I have the unlocked bootloader
After a few months of getting along with EMUI, the newest version (EMUI9) is just pissing me off with bugs and terrible performance.
I tried installing TWRP but it doesent work (cant touch any of the UI in twrp.)
In the Forum i read it has to do with EMUI9, so my question is:
Is there any way to get TWRP to work and install roms or do i have to wait for an TWRP update?
Just downgrade to emui 8, you have to do it through PC app. Just search for updates and there should be line to downgrade.

I know this reply is a bit late but anyway,
Openkirin released a build of Resurrection Remix 7.0.1 for EMUI 9 devices this week, and it looks like the P20 is on the supported list. GApps and stock Huawei camera are preinstalled. It might be your best bet for compatibility.
I was going to try it out myself but I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet (but have the code) and to be honest EMUI 9 is good enough for me as a daily driver, I can't find a good enough reason to flash.
EDIT 21/04/19: Unlocked my bootloader and installed RR 7 and touchscreen doesn't seem to be working on my phone. Same thing with Omnirom. Going back to stock for now. Devs on the Telegram support said to wait for the next build.

Yeah, but following this forum I have noticed that many users encounter problems like not working fingerprint scanner or hotspot on treble based ROMs.
Or maybe you can point on on some Android Oreo ROM working properly on P20? (Want Oreo because of Xposed, not sure if it is already ported to Pie)
Apearently software-wise Huawei is still as bad as it was 5 years ago (still remember and hate my Huawei G6), because when bought this phone (P20) hoped that at least it supports treble... sadly - just partially

Me too haha.
You could try it yourself if you really wanted to, it seems to be a hit or miss whether people have this bug or not. A dev told me a few other P10s have the problem while his own P10 works fine. I haven't seen many P20 users though.

Pixel 2 Verizon OEM unlocking

I have seen many outdated guides on unlocking the bootloader that don't work on the verizon pixel 2.
I just wanted to check if there are any new ones with the android Q beta (this probably hasn't changed anything).
Thanks, and I don't expect much.

I have Honor 8 FRD L02. It's been 3 year since I've been using it. I'm thinking of rooting it but don't how to do it. Please guide me to it .
Also, tell what is the best custom rom and kernels or any customisation that works best with it. I hope you guys will help me out as I don't know these stuffs and don't want to brick my device.
Thank you.
If you can unlock the bootloader, you can easily root your device using Magisk. There are abundant guides available here for that.
Custom ROMs, well since Oreo we have treble ROMs, Omni and Resurrection Remix. There are also a few for Nougat but they haven't been updated in ages.
For kernel, I maintain one for EMUI 8 only. You can check the ROMs and Kernel sub section for that.

It is definitely worth it! With unlocking bootloader and rooting you can bring your device back to life!
Idk if you noticed but huawei closed their bootloader code site so there is no official way to unlock your device, BUT you can buy 4 credits for DC unlocker for arround 4 euro/5 usd and get the unlock code easily for cheap. I did this and worked 100% fine. You can find tons of tutorials for honor 8 unlocking or if you want a full step by step tutorial how to do it, dm me on telegram.

Is there any chance for this phone to get an official custom version of android?
Like PixelExperience, Paranoid or Lineage OS
Since the phone is alrd more than 1 year old, and i would like to keep it for a long time
Look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...eageos-17-1-beta0-s10e-update-t4076585/page92

SD bootloader cannot be unlocked, so no custom roms have been developed for the s10e with SD as far as I know.
