[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
The development will be resumed!

THE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE RESUMED, THANKS TO [MENTION=4850735]wangdaning[/MENTION] !

(i'm sorry for my handwriting style :D more pics in this post. In the pic below, i've put a small paper over the resealed's box because there's a label with the IMEI :P.)

As some of you may know already (i've also announced before), i've broke my Nova in February.

Yesterday, [MENTION=4850735]wangdaning[/MENTION] helped me with 200 euros through PayPal to buy a new Nova. He had some troubles with PayPal (due restrictions) since he's living in China, but after few tries he managed to send me and i've got a resealed Nova from a big shop (kinda trustworthy, well known shop). Thank you so much for your efforts and kind words, [MENTION=4850735]wangdaning[/MENTION]! I really can't thank you enough. You've made my day yesterday.

I've went for a resealed Nova because it seemed the best choice, considering that a new one was so expansive and it was available at 3 shops only. The first shop was the one from where i've got my own Nova, the second from where i've got the resealed one and the third was not really known and i had doubts about it (after i've called them, i decided to not even try to buy from them because the woman i spoke to didn't even show any respect and wouldn't have been able to verifiy the package at delivery). The problem with the first shop is that Nova is over 300 euros, even more than how much it was in March / April 2017, when i've got it. They had it at a promotion (obviously fake one) for about 209 euros, but they kept changing the price, from lower to higher. Since i didn't know if they'll put it at promotion ever again, i chose to go for the resealed one and this way i didn't need more money neither.

After [MENTION=8618410]wandan[/MENTION]ing sent me the money, i've asked father if i can pay with his money as i didn't know if the resealed one would still be available when i get the money from PayPal into my bank account (could take 3-5 working days). He allowed me to use his money and he'll get them back from PayPal in the next days. So, i've ordered the Nova and chose to get it in the same day and arrived yesterday, in the evening.

On the shop's website was mentioned that resealed products are the ones who were in the showroom, tested by people or returned by people (seen about the last one in their video; people can return within 30 days). At the page for Nova was saying that it has fine scratches. I really hoped that it won't have scratches on the screen and it turned out that it doesn't have on the screen, but it's just a bit scratched on the back, near the fingerprint. Also, another one (not really noticeable) on the "frame" of the phone, on top (above the black part on the back). That's all. I guess you could say that it's like an used phone (second hand, i'm kinda against those), but i have 2 years warranty (covered by their service though) and i can return it within 30 days. I didn't notice any problems so far since last night, so i don't think that i'll have to return it. I hope that it won't have any hardware problems in future. I can live with that small scratches.

Now the funny part is that Huawei's / EMUI's page to unlock the bootloader is down. As far as i've read, their website is under maintenance and option to unlock the bootloader should be back soon (at the end of May or so). I've read that people are contacting Huawei UK on Twitter / HiCare app / email and they send the code to unlock the bootloader. Earlier, i've contacted them on twitter and through email, so now i'm waiting for a reply. Probably i won't get it in the weekend as when i've tried live chat in HiCare (after changing the region to UK in app), it was saying that they're available from Monday to Friday. A guy wrote on XDA that he contacted them through email and he wrote that the reason for requesting unlocking code is to install updates in future and he said that he got it right away. So, i've lied to them and wrote the same thing as the reason :D, because i don't know if i'd still get it if i'd say that i'm developing for it, since i'd provide android version upgrades which they won't. I read that's possible to get the unlock code with some program / service called dc-unlocker, but it costs 4 euros and i don't have. Also, i'd like to get it through the official way.

So, now i'm waiting for the code.

Better condition than yours? You still didn't get a touchscreen replacement? :D I hope that the one i've got is in a good condition inside too. It seems fine until now and i hope that it won't have any hardware issues in future. I have two years warranty though.

Yeah, you're right about "re-familiarizing". There might be some things i've forgot when i was working on the Oreo bugs, but i'm sure that i'll remember pretty much everything. Thank you again for your kind words!
