Hi,

What is and when will release "Huawei scery technology "?

All the best :)

Why Huawei have stopped unlocking bootloaders and what are your views and future plans regarding after sales android development like flashing custom roms, mods and kernels??
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonsai.14:
Honor phones have a history of being extremely Open Source Development friendly. Honor phones have an active community with lots of user and developers base. That maybe one of a reason why many people go for Honor devices.

But now with the option of unlocking bootloader being greyed out, Its nearly impossible to do anything with a locked bootloader. This would hinder the open source development of honor phones, and maybe also the sales could go down. The whole point of XDA forum is to provide development for phones which can only done with unlocked bootloader.

So the important question is how would you address this issue to the honor devs and users? What was the intention behind taking this step?

PS: Its pointless to have a XDA Friday chat session when XDA wont even be useful for phones with locked bootloader.

Is the company trying to block bootloader codes to prevent some "issues" ?
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ali5253:
Hii. ( yaeh just a formal start)

This isn't a improvment

Well guess it's a suggestion

We all know how important it is to include one handed features in a smartphone

After the release of essential phone with a fingerprint on the power button and LG v30 having used fingerprint reader as a switch

I have one more idea if we had a scroll switch on a smartphone and not a dedicated switch but if power button can be treated as a power switch As well as scroll button

And yeah now you can seethe content without touching the screen with one hand
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] matteo0026:
Hi, will Honor block the access to unlock the bootloader? Since Huawei decided to block that, I thinked that Honor'll follow that decision, and it's quite strange. For example, Honor view 10 that was a device that it's so much supported from the community and shipped to much developers for developing stuff for that device, it hasn't sense to block the unlock bootloader possibility... What will you do so?
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zacharee1:
Will Honor be continuing the development partnership with XDA, and starting its own bootloader unlock service, now that Huawei has shut down the main one?

It seems to me that Honor might not have even known this was coming, considering the US development representative had to learn about it when it became public.

I really hope at least Honor reverses this decision, if not all of Huawei.

With Bootloader unlock support being discontinued for new models, is it possible that honor will sell developer devices, with unlockable bootloaders? I'm a new Huawei user and to be honest I wouldn't have purchased it without the ability to unlock the bootloader.

Hi,

My question here is -

Huawei is making significant efforts in vertical integration to reduce the manufacturing cost base. To what extent has the cost advantage been passed onto the consumers?

Thanks.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Double Chin Bigot:
Haha, Samsung bootloaders are locked forever only by the US carrier mob, in the markets where they use Exynos for their phones you can unlock the bootloader no problem, and they even bother to release sources, if you check the Lineage download page many Samsung devices have maintainers, and the newer models are on their way to getting official builds. Huawei/Honor doing this for every market and every device is as shameful as it gets.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ForForkSake:

Sorry I thought you meant purchase bootloader unlock code. That's what I would like to do
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iantechie1979:
Try a google search for 'dc-unlocker' . You can purchase bootloader unlock codes for most Huawei/Honor phones for a minimal fee(€3). However all the newest models after 2019 and a few of the very last 2018 models - I think you'll find is not possible. Good luck.

Same as Huawei. Afaik, for released models: No more major Android updates and possibly delayed security updates after August (source: androidauthority.com/huawei-ban-mean-devices-988036)

If Huawei/Honor is smart, they'll open up their devices for us, so the community can improve the software and create new solutions. It would also help to improve their image as an open company that has nothing to hide. I like my Honor 10, but I don't like the OS (and it's bloatware!) and that I can't change it. Honor with LineageOS would be perfect in my opinion. If they don't open up future phones, I'll get another one next time. In fact, I only got my Honor 10 because I falsely assumed I could still unlock the bootloader...
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DaGameChanger:
Will the Huawei Honor 10 make it to the USA? I broke my Honor 8 and I've moved to a used G6 because it was cheap. I hate LG's software and I actually miss EMUI and the whole lot of camera features. If the price is just like the Honor 8's you bet I'll buy it!
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] whiplash1:
I have 2 questions. The first one has been asked already several times. Why did you guys decide to stop the bootloader unlock code utility? And why have you guys not yet uploaded the full firmware which the device launched with? Only kernel sources were announced. No device trees, no stock firmware, absolute radio silence.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Enddo:
Sooooo, what's up with Huawei discontinuing their bootloader unlock system? Will we not be able to unlock the bootloader of Honor devices once that system is phased out by Huawei

Honor 10 compact

Hi,

Ist it possible to see a compact version of the Honor 10?

For me, as well for many people I know, the phone size and the camera are the main criterias when buying a new phone. Many brands have good cameras, so it depends on the device size, which one they choose. And often they go to Apple. But I would like to have a Honor 10, with the good camera, processor, Android experience... But in a smaller device.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] XDARoni:

What is honor going to do about that can AI help in that aspect ?
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] arnabJ:
I have two very simple questions.

1. Why release so many devices with near identical specs and different memory options?

Samsung does the same thing.

Not only buyers get confused due to this but you as a company have to give more effort.

Me as a user would be happy to have same device with range of memory options and choose the one that is within my budget and requirements.

2. Why use same chipset in two devices miles apart in cost.

For example 9Lite, 7x, 9i and P20 Lite all have same chipset but huge price dereferences. Why?

2- Why do updates for US Devices take so llllooonnnnngggg? I'm still on the March patch and the May patch is out.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrStark007:
Nowadays many OEMs migrate to stock android. Many customers also prefer it. Not to mention MIUI. It is one of those ROMs which stands apart in its design and usability approach. Also OxygenOS is also neat and have their own nice set of features which the people use and ONLY features people use. This has enabled them to market the firmware itself along with the phone. Xiaomi was also able to make a great splash with the launch of their Android One phone - Mi A1.

Honor too, in this case of UI, does not make a great phone. I suppose the company has understood it by not marketing the UI. But I do understand that some OEMs such as Asus do market based on their ZenUI. They do have people appreciating their work. But considering the customers as a whole, I don't think the UI has a major popularity as with OxygenOS or MUI. Only some portion of the customer base.

I think you should really really look into the UI factor. Maybe it is time for you to integrate some "Material Design" into your UI and add features people really use. Or, as in the case of HMD global, you can go with Android One program. HMD was able to bring back the Nokia brand with their old reputation. And they have been quite successful with the new nokia phones. As customer, I feel that only with a good UI , the android phone experience will be complete.

Note: Most people root their phone to install Custom ROMs which provide "pixel like" experience or stock like. So this decision of Android One may also be in line with your current vision of dropping bootloader unlockings also, since many may not even want to do that with a stock experience already in their phone.

So, if you have made the reading upto here, I really appreciate the effort you have taken?. What I would like to ask is , is there any plans of dropping all the works on the current UI ? If not, how is it that you are planning to take on modifying the current state and provide a more smooth, user friendly and good looking UI ? Is there any plans to bring us an Android One device , or upgrading ALL of your line-up to the Android One program ?

[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] theimpulson:
Are there any special plans by Honor for Indian Market in near future?

Honor is a big brand in many countries, but when it comes to India, I haven't seen Honor's promotion, advertisements for its devices much. It's not that Honor isn't having any stores in India but when a new user/customer considers his options to purchase a new smartphone, Honor isn't among his first choices even though Honor release budget friendly and flagship devices in India. You can easily spot a lot of promotion done by Samsung, Nokia, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and other companies but Honor doesn't. So, this raises my question that is Honor planning something special for Indian market or it is not on their map for now?

UserBase

Since Huawei and Honor are said to be forefront in providing the Kernel Source to enable developments of custom ROM, then why this sudden decision of not providing bootloader unlocking?
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Megatron007:
So here is my question -

What was the intiative of Honor Open Source Program if huawei/honor want to shutdown the unlock bootloader site..if you gonna anyways shut it down why are huawei releasing kernel sources for the devices (not a proper sources tho) ? it would be none of use if there is no way to unlock bootloader no custom kernel , no custom roms. It would be great if Honor Ceo give us reply
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jayson19:
With the recent changes which have occurred in regards to the unlock Bootloader codes, does honor intend as some point to provide this capability again? If not, do they intend to provide an easier or different method?

With AI being introduced in so many products these days, what other functions does honor intend to do with it on their devices? For example, I would love it if the AI could learn from some of the functions that I do on my phone in order to help conserve battery related issues. Additionally, I will love the AI to anticipate what functions I'm doing and adjust the various settings on my phone according to it.

While designing a phone what do you give more importance to feature or design? Also what's important according to you?
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Why did you remove the option to unlock bootloaders on future phones and why are you going to remove the option to do that on older phones (Like my Honor 8). I really want to get a ROM on my Honor 8 once they actually become stable enough but, you're basically making planned obsolescence on your phones now. When you stop updating my phone then it will really just be dead and I will have to get a new phone to get the latest updates.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

Also when will Honor 8 recieve Oreo, I know that it is being tested in China but I want to know when the beta will be international and when the global release will be.

Question 1:

Since Honor seems to be remain committed to XDA is it possible that bootloader opening possibility would return in some form in the future?

The AI works perfectly helping taking pictures and speeding up the phone, so do you have further plans to implement more AI features which would help daily usage?

Why unlocking bootloader feature is removed?
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
Why huawei decided to stop providing bootloader unlock code ?? Thats a betrayal for developer community like XDA here. And yet you still call yourself a sponsor ?? :(

C'mon people. This question should be raised, LOUDLY.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iantechie1979:
One of the reasons I was attracted to the Huawei/Honor brand was the fact that you can unlock the bootloader for customisation and the large following on the XDA forums helping with this and just generally holding my interest of the brand.

Why is it that a decision has been made to no longer provide bootloader unlock codes for your devices? It seems completely illogical and counter intuitive to me? In all honesty I will seriously consider leaving Huawei/Honor for a brand that embraces customisation and development. Is this decision a foregone conclusion or might you review this in the future??

Thanks

What's the real reason you won't unlock bootloader's anymore? If you want to give a good user experience, you'd allow us to do so.

What was the whole point of the open source program with the View10? How can we trust Huawei/Honor? The same thing happened with the Honor 8, boasting dev partnership but nothing came of it. But now it's worse as it affects all devices.

Very nice phone , with great hardware, at affordable price. But today everyone knows about custom rom or modifications(kernel, theming, etc). So if you phones becomes more developer friendly everyone, at xda will be happy.

All the best for your future product's , sir!
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sarius02:
Hello Mr. Zhao,

my question is also directed to the bootloader unlocking:

Your devices got a big community due to project treble and the chance of being able to unlock the bootloader, so great development was possible. As the only users to flash ROM are exactly knowing what they are about to do, I guess that your reasoning isn't the whole truth.

So could you tell us as (ex-) enthusiasts, why did you did this to the community and why did you knock off so many possible customers, who were considering to buy one of your products because of the great possibilities?

Hoping on good reasons or a reversion of the decision, at least I would then consider buying your products again:)

Best regards!
