Should I give up on project Treble? - Honor 10 Questions & Answers

Hello, I bought a Honor 10 COL-TL10 version, after Huawei stopped giving codes for unlocking the bootloader, therefore, I don't have twrp, root and I see complicated to have any Treble rom on this phone (I don't like very much emui) and I don't see many development on Honor 10. Should I give up? Or do you think there is any hope in the future?
Ps. I came from a OnePlus 5, and still have it, and it has way more development, but I'm not completely comfortable with the big size of that phone; honor 10 it's a little bit more compact and easy to use with one hand. I'm not quit sure what to do.
Best Regards =)!

same problem, I tried to ask for an unlock code via email support but they are refusing to give it anymore. I will try to insist but I have very little hope

Same for me. I'm hoping that third party unlocking programs (like DC-unlocker) will support the Honor 10.

I don't know... Maybe in future but not right now for sure

try to ask by email different customer services in different countries, what was not possible in my home country was possible in Germany for instance
also some people reported success with DC unlocker despite their model officially not supported, so just need someone to try

Did they give you a unlock code after the site closed?

Please help by e-mailing LG to unlock H860 bootloader | It might work!

Hi Guys,
Based on our need to unlock all LG G5 variants, I have tried a new approach by writing to them directly @ https://www.lg.com/eg_en/support/contact/chat-email/email
Could you please try to do the same guys? It might work, guys.
Here is a copy from what I sent.
Hi Team,
Hope you are doing fine.
I have the amazing LG G5 "H860" and I am really enjoying such an experience with the mobile. Still, I would like to have the taste of trying some other mods but the locked bootloader preventing me as well as many other people from doing the same. I understand the risk and I really want to have it done. I already passed the warranty and I have nothing to lose at this point.
However, there is some current petitions in some third-party forums and websites but looks it never reaches LG. Therefore, I take this step and write to you. Could you please take in consideration unlocking the bootloader in the next update at least for this model H860?
Thanks a lot for your kind help and support.
Best regards,
Ahmad

Update: I have had a call from LG Egypt representative regarding this mail. He told that he will escalate the issue to LG Korea to check the availability to include unlocked bootloader in the next update but this requires around 4-6 months based on LG update cycle schedules for LG G5. Guys, please try on your own country website and give some feedback.
I was actually thinking to give a call and raise a ticket. I'll let you know once I do that.
Worth a try for my Sprint version too.
Hi Team,

Hi guys,
I also sent email to LG about it.
You can find LG site for your country here http://www.lg.com/common/index.jsp
Thank you guys, keep it up. I believe this will work better than posting in their forum or petitions.

Hi i hope hope someone can clear a few things up for me i am a bit confused is this the correct forum for mate 10 pro as well as normal mate 10. I have recently purchased mate 10 pro and could not find mate 10 pro in devices i only found this forum.

I believe that you are new here and don't know that the huawei phones would not enable us to install stock roms and we are not able now to unlock the bootloader anymore for free lol.
So there is no custom roms dear
Wtf how am I supposed to unlock the bootloader then I need more information quickly so I can cancel my purchase. Is it impossible to unlock bootloader now

Depends on your firmware. If Security Patch is June or later you won't be able to, at least not if you're on C432.
If you are on security patch may or earlier you will be able to use HCU client to get unlock code, but it's paid.
I can only confirm that it's not possible to get unlock code on C432B145+, I can't confirm for other cust but it will most likely be the same.
Edit: if it's a brand new phone it will likely come with factory firmware, unless the shop you bought it from updated it.
Even if I was able to unlock think it's likely that development will be very limited would I be right in thinking this.

I wouldn't say "limited" it depends what your looking for, obviously the best device development is for OnePlus and Pixels imo, but we still have RessurectionRemix, LineageOS, CarbonROM & OmniROM, that's 4 pretty recognisable ROM's :good:
Link to ROM's : https://openkirin.net/download/
To be honest, I had my first Mate 10 Pro rooted, and apart from an Ad blocker and YouTube Vanced there wasn't much I felt any need to install. Now Vanced can be installed without root, and Ad Blocker can run on various browsers, I don't see much point.
The Mate 10 Pro is a brilliant phone, I'm seriously considering selling my S9+ and going back to the 10 Pro - the battery life was far better, and I think the camera was better. I also hate the bent sides on the screen on the Samsung. Only thing I might missis Samsung Pay, but I'll just go back to contactless card.
Thanks to you guys and some further reasearch i was able to reach out to the person on ebay i had bought the phone from and cancel the purchase after explaining the situation with bootloader. I am still reeling from Huwaweis decision to stop bootloader unlocking and hope they one day reverse this decision. I really had my heart set on the mate 10 for obvious reasons but possible lack of bootloader unlock is just a no no for me on my current phone a xiaomi mi6 i regularly change roms and kernels sometimes twice a week so i certainly could not live with being stuck on Mui with no possibility of modifications xposed etc. And i did not want to take the risk of buying to only find out that the bootloder had been patched or something and id be stuck.
So now i have turned my attention to either the oneplus 5 or perhaps galaxy s8plus. Again thanks for your help guys.

Would it be just easy as flashing USA or Europe firmware to get rid of the Chinese region??? I think that’s what you would need to do. Just make sure you get it confirmed from someone or speak to manufacture of the phone ring them up or email them!

I thought Odin would be a way download firmware and flash away ? Sorry I’m a Samsung fanboy! I don’t know why I answered for, as I don’t even own an p20 pro or any Huawei devices..

Mate 10 Pro - Bootloader & Rebranding question

Hi Guys,
I've been here a while and don't post much, but use the forum for info etc, and its a great source of information.
I have acquired a Mate 10 pro with a damaged screen - initially I was asked if I could put a new screen in it, but my work colleague has decided to buy a new phone and has basically given the phone to me.
My plan initially was to maybe sell it or repair it and then sell it, but I have discovered that you can rebrand these via FH to a dual sim, which is essential for me as I currently have a OnePlus 3 with dual sim.
My question is - I have contacted FH to ask if it is definitely possible on this Huawei and they have asked only if I have the unlock code - which I assume they mean the bootloader unlock code.
Its my first experience of all things Huawei and so I guess I would like to know how easy or difficult this is - not just in terms of the process as I have quite a bit of experience with flashing ROM's etc, but finding the info to unlock the bootloader (as I have read that this can sometimes be difficult), and FH haven't answered my question in terms of how many credits etc I will need to pay to do the full conversion from single to dual sim.
Many thanks in advance.

I assume thats a No then.
I did see that bootloader codes were hard to find, but I wondered if there was another way as its my first Huawei experience.

Which phone is best

So I had sprint for years. Had the note 4 until 3 years ago when I switched to the note 9 /U and couldn't root it... very terrible.
So jot tmibile bought sprint and I don't like tmobile. So I'm switching to AT&T which i also don't like but I can add GSM phones so thats my path.
My question is which of the latest Samsung note phones is best for rooting meaning which model number should I buy from Amazon or ebay that can be both rooted and unlocked bootloader?
I was going to do the fold 3 but apparently samsung kills the camera. . Shame...
Rooting isn't necessary or even desirable.
The 10+ running on Pie* is a strong running, very stable phone once optimized.
Next best choice is the 20U.
The Fold3 and S21U are duds with no SD card slot, no spen and/or numerous hardware issues**.
If the 10+ or 20U aren't to your liking wait until next year for the new Note release.
*last good Android OS and with no scope storage, fully supports trusted overlay apks.
**Fold3 hardware issues... wait they're coming
Ok. So I definitely want root and customs roms which means unlocked bootloader.. thank you for the vote of confidence with stock phones but my question was clear and opinion is not an answer to the question. Again, which phone model is best, meaning specific model number, for rooting and roming. I know there are 2 chinees versions of the note 10 and note 20 as well as a few others from other countries meaning non "U" versions, Which is best? Some people just fail to read and answer properly. I wonder wtf is wrong with people... i didnt ask for opinion on non-rootable or otherwise non unlock able bootloaders and clearly was asking for non "U" version yet some daft schmuck says get the U version... duhhh...

Meh, it's a lick on you... do it your way.
Do your homework and go to the appropriate forum for each phone and see what users are able to do. Brain picking is just laziness...
Edit: I could help you but I choose not to... I got a better idea

Well I wouldn't call it laziness... I might instead, call it a request from experience. Some may say well... this model has an unlock able bootloader but only some do while others don't. And maybe this model does have unlocked bootloader but doesn't have many options, while this other model is unlockable usually at&t doesn't accept it. And so on. How did you achieve senior member? Must be by trolling reasonable members... thanks but please shut up on my thread. Go elsewhere and post. Thanks again.
You can unlock the bootloader now on any 9 series us device upto fold 2 s21 provided they on the right bootloader version. Its a paid service but is possible. Root is going strong
