Nokia users in here who want custom ROM and recovery for this device. We need more voices on Twitter. Pls help us to become our need of the open bootloader.

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChayBrandon:
Found this in the developer options for the Nokia 8.

Guessing it's not the same thing as actually unlocking the bootloader? It just allows it?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tie96:
It just allows, but at the moment it's useless.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
Good thanks, You? Long time no see finally gave up the M7? :laugh:

Kernel source is the first since they're violating GPLv2 for not posting it..

Unlock they said would come so can pray for that lol

Treble is possible? I know the device partitions need re partitioned to support treble I'm sure impossible to do that through a OTA maybe I'm wrong
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchst2:
M7 has been in a cupboard for a year plus. Got an M10 and just after passing that onto my son.

I think Nokia are struggling to cope with the promises they've made in the OS updates. Maybe they'll act when all devices are on Oreo. Then again maybe it'll be time to focus on the 2018 devices. We'll see what they are made of next year and that will determine if they earn any loyalty. I know on that front HTC had mine too long.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
Most devices are dead now no one is deving on Pixel anymore guessing since the high price and the new A/B partition setup seems to make everything a ton harder. You'll get like 5 kernels and a few AOSP, CM ROMs but that's it.

Xiaomi: Is popular I think but never been interested in any of those devices since sub par camera and super low quality build so not 100% sure.

OnePlus: Seems to be the new nexus but again sub par camera. But they do post the device tree and kernel source on time.

HTC: No one is buying like pre m8 days not much going on over there and source is always delayed.

Samsung: Only Touchwiz ROMs/Kernels. You'll get a few LOS ROMs of Devs work on it but they're a huge hack fest since Exynos is closed source and US variants are truly locked down

Huawei: usually don't post source so no not many devs buy those devices

Sony: For some stupid reason Sony decided to erase the DRM keys when you unlock the bootloader so you degrade the camera Quality + Sony's camera software already isn't the best so it's a big turn off don't see anything posted for latest Sony devices

LG: Depends if they allow the Unlock but most ROMs and kernels are posted if it's unlockable

Essential: Not sure

Razer Phone: No word of Unlock or Source code

The only devices to recommend are OnePlus 5/T after owning a OP3 it had pretty much every rom available. Same goes for the OP5 and I'm sure the T also. But you'd have to make the comprise of the camera if you're coming from something better. (Don't own a Nokia 8 so can't compare)

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

Well they've been posting updates fast no? Not the fastest to Oreo but right behind them. If they have the unlock out of the box and gave the kernel source in a timely manor their wouldn't be an issue I can see them losing some of the Android Purists that thought this was going to be the next Nexus I myself was so hyped for the Nokia 8 untill I saw no unlock or kernel sources so I just lost interest instantly let's hope they can turn it around

Didn't like the HTC 10? I heard it was a good device shame they didn't deliver on the OS updates still on 7.0 laughable...

I bought a U11 was a nice phone but didn't like Sense anymore and UK updates were slow and source delayed so I just gave it to my mum to replace her aging iPhone 4S :laugh:

I was loyal to HTC Pre M8 I bought the M9 worst device I ever owned guess I didn't learn with the U11 :laugh:

Let's hope Nokia can turn it around a give us a Pixel on a budget with a nice development community around it
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchst2:
HTC 10 is a great phone but as you say HTC updates are a joke now. Haven't checked but I think it's still on February patch FFS.

I jumped to Nokia hoping much the same as you. To a degree that's happened with the fast updates to a stock OS which I always convert to anyway. However seeing that source code, unlock and treble that's either a requirement or promised fall by the wayside has me concerned what will happen when their second gen phones come out. I think it will be HTC all over again, just without any backup.

Stock rom means nothing this days.

I've owned moto x force (stock as much as it can be) - top range of moto, but only few months ago received android 7.0 update.

BTW security update bricked it.

I guess the MVunlocker for the Nokia 8 from the site neopodapsi is a fake then ? (I wont dare downloading it)
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NadavCE:
I've been asking Nokia customer support repeatedly over the last couple weeks, and their continued response is that there is nothing to say... So I'd say it's a fake.

There's no evidence that Nokia 8 Retail bootloader is unlockable.

However, I've met a Nokia 8 Prototype with Unlocked Bootloader as I mentioned.

I hope so, I just came here doing a bit of research for buying me next phone.

You didnt mention ASUS :( - check it out I have now owned 3 ASUS phones and while they arent necessarily premium phones, they do (some) have decent cameras and most are unlockable with a wide variety of ROMs out there.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NadavCE:
Does anyone have any insider (or otherwise) info about the bootloader unlock? Still no news from HMD, is it safe to say the unlock will never come?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2WildFirE:
No one give any answer about bootloader unlock.

So I promise, there will no bootloader unlock coming!

For me I will sell my 8 and look for an other device....

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rd. Vortex:
Basically the same happened to me. While I may not ever use the option to unlock the bootloader, it's nice to at least have the option to flash a custom ROM. This can extend the life of the phone when the official updates have ended. Personally I went with the OP5T as it seems to have nice development community, as usual with OnePlus devices. The big screen is also nice compared to Nokia 8, not to mention that battery life seems better in my use.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NadavCE:
Yeah, I was looking at the 5T as well. But its size is borderline; it's a hair too big. That might be something I could get used to, but as of now I'm leaning towards the XZ1C. It's got a dedicated dev working on TWRP and LOS (modpunk), and he's making great progress.

Hi again. Sharp s2 uses exatly same filesystem. Could you make dump of all Proto partitions, so i could compare to default (locked) state. So we will find unlocking bit.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

All we have to find is FIH locking bits. It will work on all nokia, sharps and essential phones. Its only possible with comparing of unlocked and locked devices partitions. Fih is not that top
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Briefcase:
Hi Heineken78,

Thank you so much for your involvement! You say you need a dump of all partitions off hikari_calyx phone to proceed? Is there any other user that might help you on that? In that case it would be nice to give the commands one needs to execute so they can easily get started. I assume you need the dumps from the prototype phone and hikari_calyx has one? (just for my understanding). In that case maybe a private message is better so he notices :). Again thank you very much for your efforts in trying to gain root access! Much appreciated!

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nate0:
Has anyone else attempted any of the procedures in the OP on a retail unit (one with secure boot enabled) and succeeded anywhere? From reading it seems like hikari_calyx flashed the retail ROM to a prototype in order to provide the steps. I am wondering how consistently successful any of the steps are, or are we waiting for more discoveries? Thanks.

When I was trying to find a taobao seller for unbricking Nokia 3, he claimed that he can unlock bootloader of Nokia 8, but he required you to send the phone to him in order to unbrick the phone.

I don't know if it's scam, but it means unlock bootloader is possible.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nate0:
Ya I had seen you mentioned that. Maybe only time until more info leaks or unless Nokia themselves comes through...

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marceldossantos91:
Sorry mate im not sure the command your doing or working with the OST, i just know that when i tried to unlock the BL as well as flash images, i struggled with plain fastboot, so i found the solution to be that, but i dont know the reboot-edll command, i only used it to flash boot images that way and get rooted etc, i can only confirm that using fastboot command alone doesnt work without the -i and that code,i hope someone can help you :(
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sharufi:
ok thanks,u re of great help
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marceldossantos91:
Are you trying to root by any chance bro? Because there is a much easier method using systemless root, also - is your BL unlocked? Im no expert but i highly doubt superSU is even possible on the nokia 8, and ive never known to reboot to eddl as an option either :/ i do know you can sideload though by entering fastboot, and if i read above i dont see that method of going into fastboot correctly, the way i know is - power off the device, keep holding vol up and plug usb until you see android with ! (No command screen) then press power + vol up quickly (the timing is a bit tricky, but try a few times ull get it) but once your in you will see recovery, from there you can select adb sideload, and use the adb sideload command, personally sideload for me never worked, so i went with [MENTION=454574]bidhata[/MENTION] method after unlocking bl and worked flawlessly with magisk, i may be wrong but superSU also tries to patch boot.img as far as im aware (as the system methods dont work since MM i think?) nontheless when i had locked BL i couldnt do anything on fastboot - so im not entirely sure how the user used superSU if bl was locked, as far as im aware rooting is impossible without unlock bl

Hi friends,

I am from India and I am in a sort of Dilemma right now. I need to buy a new android phone and most probably I will be permanently moving to Canada some time next year. I did some research myself and found that most of the carriers in Canada use LTE bands 4, 7 and 17. So if I buy phone here in India which does not support these bands, it won't work in Canada. There are some new phones here in India which support LTE band 7 but not the other 2 bands. Other LTE bands are different like band 3,5, 8 etc. I also learnt that if a phone supports just one of the three bands, it will not work in areas with coverage using the other two bands.

Request someone to please shed some light and guide me in this regard. The urgency is because I sold my Lumia and switched to my dad's discarded Honor 4c which has a horrible battery standby time despite getting a new battery and an upgrade to Marshmallow. The battery consumption is so bad that its literally useless even with all the battery saving tweaks. It just sits on the desk and looses all the battery in just 15-20 hrs. With very moderate usage it needs a recharge very soon and is not really dependable.

Also, I saw that the best way to buy a phone in Canada is through a carrier as sim free phones are generally expensive and there are not many options in the budget segment like we have in India. I can't really make up my mind and understand what should I do.
