Is there a modified Android ROM to introduce Google services for a Huawei P40 pro, instead of having to do it later with Goglefier or similar? If so, does it allow updates?

after so long, I wonder if there's any progress here?!
We don't have any confirmed way to unlock the bootloader, so with that being said there is no custom roms.

There are ways to unlock it and not insanity expensive either but I think there's no market for it.

Yes there is now, but at the time it wasn't possible. Also pointless at the moment to open up your phone and unlock the bootloader as there's no custom roms in the work.

It's all done with software but I do agree it's pointless as no one is developing for it.

Its not done by software alone, you have to short a pin or two alongside software etc, not something most people are willing to do.

The method I saw used software test points. And I saw it first hand, it worked flawlessly if yet a bit nerve wrecking. I am not sure if the program is allowed to be mentioned here as it can have illicit uses so I won't say it's name but it's publicly available. I only seen it used on P40 pro + but would assume it works similarly for all P40 series devices.
I uploaded this way twrp, but due to the lack of modified software nothing after that I could not do more. I would need to know how to modify the software

Tried Kingroot, it didn't work.
By the way, the more people run Kingroot from an Xperia XA, the more they'll try to find a root strategy (it says so on the app, and they're obviously keeping track, so far 114 have tried from the Xperia F3116).

If the x range uses drm-verity which I think all late 2015 onwards Xperia devices onwards do now then it'll be like the z5 range root on unlocked Bootloader only I think. If this is the only way to get root if it'll be even possible on the xa and other x devices looks like I'm going back to stock when i get mine, my M2 is rooted and heavily modified always has been but I refuse to use kingroot.

Kingroot can be removed and replaced by SuperSU you know, after rooting. At least that's what I did on Xperia Z3 Compact. I never left stock by the way, and kept bootloader intact. Now it remains to be seen if Kingroot or anyone will ever be able to root the XA safely at all.

Yes it is according to some the wifi bug has been fixed some are getting 4hrs sot time with ease Bluetooth may have the same problem according to some also depends on how the device is set up try doing either a factory reset or software repair via Sony pcc you need to start with the latest firmware on a totally clean install. Root is probably gonna be a while as someone needs to build kernel+recovery if drm-verity is in use it'll be unlocked Bootloader root only x range not supported by kingroot either for now

And I'm telling you that didn't fix my problem. I realize now that my use of it was ambiguous. The problem was not remedied by the software update which they provided is what I should have said.

Have you even tried any of the above and gave it time to settle down and go through a few cycles. Try posting on the xa Sony support forum the problems/bugs in the thread they have going on, they were quick enough to fix the wifi bug and the more people that report back there with the problems the faster they'll get it sorted.

That I find very hard to believe only trying to help guess you've just come to moan I'll save my knowledge and help for someone who wants it without a attitude
I do appreciate the attempts at help. I didn't come to moan, I came to ask for a root, which as you and others pointed out isn't ready yet. You're welcome to believe what you want about the power issue.

Sorry but plenty of people are far too quick to just come on here like we all know the answers to everything and thinking they know better you'd be surprised how many people will swear they have tried everything, I know from personal experience that a factory reset and or a software repair/ftf flash via flashtool wiping the phone can do, most people try and do it without totally wiping the data it can also take upto a week for a device to settle down after updates ect. Sony know about the major bugs and are working on fixes that I know and sony are better than most other oem's regarding updates and device su, root will take a little while I think it is just to new yet try getting other x/xa owners emailing kingroot support for device support not that I'd use it myself, i hope I can help move things on a bit when I get mine next week
On the plus side it's supposedly really easy to unlock the bootloader (it's a setting in the developer options)

No that only makes it possible to unlock the bootloader you still have to do it manually after that. Should not be that much work though.
Haven't seen this mentioned here. It's been confirmed on Twitter that the Nokia 8 will get ARCore support and face unlock.
No ETA yet, but it's really cool to see the continued support for Nokia OG flagship :good:
Next year this update will come or not.... They promise other things and nothing comes....

I don't really think they did. They did, however, promise to look into it at some unspecified time while making clear it's not a top priority: Twitter thread. It's probably even less of a priority for them now.
I'm not worried about ARCore and face unlock :cyclops:
lol, ARCore on this phone won't have any devs. You know why?
Because the majority of devs ditched this phone because of no official bootloader unlock.
Ironic, isn't it.

Isn't the point of it getting ARCore that it will be able to run standard ARCore apps? I can live without creepy Samsung cartoon emoji ?
Phone has been out for 10 months, receives regular updates on time so who cares about unlocked bootloader..? And if it's so important to you why did you even buy it without making sure it can be unlocked at first. Typical XDA whine...

Has also got me out of the continuous wipe, flash and setup routine. Liberating. Just hope Nokia at least decide to support development when they stop.

Firstly, How long do you thing you'll recieve regular updates? HMD almost have started abandoning their first flagship.
Secondly, when the phone was released, who knew that hmd will not be providing support for unlocking bootloader. Everyone bought it with a hope and love for Nokia brand
But the face unlock is already in the security settings. Just active the trust factor for Google Smart Lock and you've got the last option on Smart Lock list which is face unlock.

Has someone already upgraded and could perhaps share his patched magisk file?
Btw: It seems the random crashes/blackscreen ploblems that plagued alot of people here, including me, were at least to some degree Googles own fault (screenshot).
No fix for face unlock "clean the top of your screen, including the black bar"?

My face unlock works fine for the most part but every now and then I get this error. I reboot the phone and all works fine for a couple of days then it pops up again. I bought my phone from Carphone Warehouse so not sure where I stand.

Will most likely have more luck with Google. Not sure how well CPW online are for warranty claims, unless they are going to replace for a new unit I won't trust them.
I'm going to see if the new update works out before I speak to either of them. I rebooted yesterday after installing the October update so I will most likely find out tomorrow of it is resolved.
Hey there,
I've been using my Realme 5 Pro with an ungoogled custom ROM for a while now, and I felt safe until I saw a video from The Linux Experiment (Videolink is with timestamp):
In the video, he mentions that he no longer wants to use a Chinese phone because China might force the manufacturer to install spyware. I know that The Linux Experiment is very skilled, but in this case I am not sure if he is a little bit paranoid. ^^
My questions are:
1. Is it possible for Chinese companies to spy on a phone with an open bootloader, custom ROM, and custom recovery?
2.1 I have already read that backdoors on the hardware side might be possible. Is this true?
2.2 How high is the risk of this happening?
2.3 What Information can they get with a backdoor on the hardware side?
3. How concerned should I be, because getting a phone without chinese influence is very hard?
Thanks for your help.
PS: I don't want political discussions. Just the technical view on my concerns, which are my personal opinion.

Is it really worth the effort? wouldn't a Hardwarebackdoor mean, that you only get machine language which has to be processed and sorted?
For a very important device like the phone of a president or minister that might be a practical solution but how much work is it to do that for a massive amount of people?
Thanks for your answer!

It actually has nothing to do with the ROM and everything to do with the device fingerprint. Some ROMs such as Pixel Experience use the device fingerprint for the original Pixel, This can also be set by using the MagiskHide Props Config module.
However, if you're using the Play Integrity fix, this may interfere with it.
