[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Samson Nosmas:
Owning the Honor 10 now for a month (my 3rd Honor phone) and I have to say that I'm really missing the soft key buttons next to the fingerprint sensor. Personally I don't like the onscreen buttons.

Fingerprint sensor is unreliable (even after latest update 8.1.0.120) and I miss the one of the Honor 9 so much! Hope you can improve it with further updates.

For future Honor flagship models I would finally want an Amoled display and they should be waterproof!!!
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] danthecoolboy:
Given the increasing number of Honor and/or Huawei devices, how will support lifecycle be for this phone?
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackintosh5:
If it's not too much to ask,

AMOLED, 4-camera, waterproof, but for a price range like Honor 9 Lite.

Less than £250 for sure

That would be my phone, but only with bootloader unlock. Without bootloader unlock, I would not buy.

Points:

-Screen on/off: Need double tap to weak, and double tap to sleep!

-Battery: High Stand-by power consumption!!

-Camera: The AI colors are too saturated (especially the green)

--The definition of photos isn't good (watercolor effect)

-Video: Need EIS and audio recording is good but to "spatial"

-Audio quality: Speaker: the volume is ok, the quality is very good. But isn't stereo...

--Bluetooth audio streaming: the quality is poor, with LDAC product's LDAC codec don't work.

--Jack 3.5mm: the volume is low and the quality isn't good. (32bit DAC really work?)

-Fingerprint: go into the multitasking isn't easy
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marcksaf:
No deep sleep, DAC audio not working and i can't read the system files with file explorer...

[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pietpietersen:
Some people here expect way too much from a 400 euro phone.

Compare honor 10 with Moto G6 plus or Moto X4 and the honor 10 is way better in most ways. SURE the honor 10 has some minors but overall its a great device built by a professional company.

Samsung, motorola and apple are way more expensive for the same specs.

The Only other decent device for the same price range is the nokia 7 plus which Like many xiaomi phones has a sar rating that is high enough to cook eggs with.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
Yes and no. Nokia 7 plus is nowhere near as good as honor 10. Yes stronger in some parts but generic and as long it comes to camera, honor is the winner. If Nokia has something good was the fast updates.

As i see on Antutu only nokia 8 can compete honor 10 and that's a very small difference.

To be honest honor 10 is much more beautiful phone than any nokia out there :)

Dear Honor!

I would like to know if you are planning to implement 16:9 picture mode (99% of the screens, displays are 16:9 like tv, laptop, monitor etc), and are you planning to support android auto?

Thank You!

So from tomorrow on bootloader unlock is history and no longer possible on honor and huawei devices, it seems....

no longer there will be development on device's from this manufacturer

What happened to all the efforts to find a solution with the company? No reports, total blackout, the company's representatives aren't answering this thread anymore, it got pretty silent here lately - is this the end of what we have known from the past, all attempts have failed?

News anyone?

Missed it!

News - you can still unlock bootloader with DC Unlocker. Even if they remove FRP unlock from settings, we can still hack our way in - https://tinyurl.com/h9lbrick

But I wish they would let us just get a code..
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Yeah, I understand you, it's just sad seeing this... even though I never owned one of those devices

However it's kind of ridiculous to claim to remove the BL unlock for security reasons when a simple 3rd party tool can unlock it anyways :) lol
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThreeMMM:
Loved my Honor 9, love my Honor 10. But with no unlockable bootloader, i will never buy an Honor/Huawei device anymore.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Devices with emui 8.1 like p20 pro and honor 10 are not being able to unlock by DC Unlocker.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackintosh5:
Uh god. Maybe though we can use manufacture mode, with HCU Client and repair as empty board, as this will change the BL code, even if it's unknown to start with.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] br54:
Hex decimal

I haven't unlocked or rooted.......... Yet

But what needs to be done is locate the boot loader file that contains the code... Extract then decipher the included match code.

Then make a universal boot loader

But after that... It will be time to buy a new phone..... But I'm hurrying...

Will report soon as that's done.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackintosh5:
If someone's willing to backup their oeminfo, then use https://tinyurl.com/h9lbrick to change the unlock code via manufacture mode, then send a backup before and after the change, perhaps we can find where the data is stored. But that wouldnt help because you need root to read the data in oeminfo...

What would work is if someone can reverse engineer manufacture mode. But even then it seems to have a hidden key that hcu have extracted

Edit: just remembered that manufacture mode exposes 3 com ports, one of them is useful. Maybe we can interrogate this port, or find the code that hosts it.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] br54:
Best wishes..... Good luck, developer mode activated.

[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
You mean to spoof it yes? :p

Dont know how this would be possible cause you will have to decrypt it and find the correct calculation.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackintosh5:
You don't need the right calculation you just need one of the many matching ones. E.g. md5 can have lots of different stings all with the same hash. But I think we will have more luck in manufacture mode... As that's how DC did it.

Im Honored owning My Honor!

I freakin LoVe it!
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bielie:
Today James, Indonesia's director of honor, said in 2020 that he would make a big honorarium in Indonesia. Honor 10 was launched in Jakarta today.

As long as the honor still sells the cellphone through flash sales. Honor will not get that position. Lots of "whales" in Indonesia buy it in flash sales and sell it higher in the marketplace. example brand X sales X 5 idr 999000 in flash sales, but it's hard to find this phone because "whales" buy it and sell it back at high prices idr 1300000.

how do i know? I have been in this business for several years

Honorer
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
I actually don't understand why anyone who loves Android would buy anything from Huawei/Honor anymore... lol

Locked bootloader = locked purse, no purchase and bye :laugh:

Simple!
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
Because not everyone wants to stick his finger under the hood. You have to understand that Huawei / Honor has its own development team. They are the ones who make the fully working firmware for the device. Not you, not me, nobody else. The device is sold with a fully factional operating system based on the hardware this phone has. This is more than enough to buy this phone. For an average user who wants good quality phone and has no needs of rooting this device is great.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
This is exactly why i never buy smartphone from its official channel/warranty anymore in indonesia,

I always get my phone from china/us shipped through batam. I dont care about warranty. Either i ship it back or repair it myself.

Because all those opportunist capitalist whales destroy the market price with their greed,

So many best bang for bucks smartphone become a so so deal, since the price spike so high.

If you still want to buy it, wait for 6-10 months, until they have too many unsold phone in their storage and drop the price to even lower than the original price.

Effin greedy whales :p
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Yeah, that's exactly what I (and probably the biggest part of this community) won't ever understand because the previous solution didn't force anyone to unlock and "stick his finger under the hood" but left the choice to the user, now users have a choice less and that's sad and shouldn't be in the interest of anyone but the companies themselves...

Now they're rather selling licenses to use their devices than the device itself, imagine that with a personal computer - this is a turn in the absolutely wrong direction, practically and philosophically, then they should create their own operating system all together, this crippling of Android is just disgraceful!
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] br54:
Exactly.... THEY know what's best for you.. Communism 101, welkome Komrad to the nwo, now go shower, pol pot expects you.

Xda in all its former spirit is dead
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
I don't think so... There're still incredible talented and smart people around here, XDA's spirit constantly transformed and it has to, standing still is death actually but this recent topic indeed puts up the question of "credibility" somehow, advertising Huawei/Honor on XDA seems inadequate now. So clear words would be advisable as this potentially could harm the site's reputation!

I mean where's the red line for OEMs aiming to get advertised within the XDA infrastructure, is this only about money? Do idealistic values also play a role in this, they should in my opinion...

I mean think about all the developers who got development units in their public media stunt, [MENTION=8814170]Chris@Honor_USA[/MENTION] who worked his butt off for the "Honor open source program", their announcement to intensify the activity of Honor on the forums, all this were rendered worthless overnight, still waiting for the "you got punked" message from their CEO... (which won't happen, I know)

Let's see how this one turns out, I still got confidence that XDA-Developers will do the right decisions in the end! Sometimes it's best to follow the idealistic values of the open source community and leave the "money thing" behind... There're still enough trustworthy cooperations to do business with :)

That's just my personal opinion, I definitely have no insights on this, so please understand it as such! Just my thoughts and interpretation of things going on...
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
The crippling of android is for google to blamed as well.

Anti Roll Back, FRP and all the over paranoid security stuff, they getting more and more like apple,

After all, security never really play along with flexibility and openness. They will try to control everything you do in everything you have.

Thing is, unfortunately, enthusiast and community like xda here, who favour more freedom and openness will always have to pay for rest majority of users, who cant use their smartphone smart enough (irony, huh), let their data compromised by stupid app they install so willingly, or lost their phone, and then blame the oem for not giving them enough security to prevent their data being extracted, even when in fact their phone is already in someone else belonging.

Why huawai not focusing on sound parameters, Didn't see any phone with dual front firing Speakers, Expecting one model with this
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Because they need to focus all their resources on building the most developer unfriendly devices possible!

After locking down the bootloader they now release OTAs that block Magisk from patching the stock Kernel and make your device unbootable if you dare to attempt it anyways...

Huawei makes me feel sad and angry the same time - never thought this might happen! That's weird!

They should be banned from this forum and from using Android, that would be reasonable by now!

Great Features

Honor 10 is one of the best smartphone. I also have this mobile and it has a lot of wonderful features. Touch is so smooth and sensor is too fast. Before bought this phone, I compared with various branded mobile phones but this one I preferred and I suggest to buy to other people. I read so many blogs on smart phones at Phone Corridor. I read Best Budget Android Phones then I choose Honor 10.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Yeah, if you prefer a bootloader locked and unrootable device and can get over the fact that this company heavily backstabbed the open source company by their recent actions your suggestion makes sense :laugh: lol - in regards to "modding" this brand is a dead wasteland by now!

[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MagnoT:
Regarding Huawei recent decision to prevent bootloader unlock that's really unfortunate. I was really excited about Honor 10 and ordered one. After reading these messages - including root ones - I feel bad about it and cancelled the order. It felt like after using the Nexus line up and having two galaxy phones (both modded) getting myself locked with a device totally blocked doesn't make any sense. How bad...
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
Exactly, totally understand where you coming from, was looking into these devices too (for my wife) but then those unfortunate news came along and so I had to vote with my purse and got a SGS8, which can at least be modified to prolong it's life when the last update dropped... It's a shame to even sell a locked Android device - Android itself stands actually for openness, reminds me of Apple ignoring "the right to repair"...

using Honor 10 COL-AL10 / 6 Gb / 128 Gb Chinese version

Please study my story in great detail, there are a lot of us with a similar problem !!!

My history of using Honor 10 COL-AL10 / 6 Gb / 128 Gb Chinese version is very bad. I live in Ukraine, all the service centers and support services of huavei in Ukraine do not want to help me. Also, all my calls to the global sites huavei and Honor were unsuccessful, no one helped me.

The story is this, I bought myself a Honor 10 COL-AL10 / 6 Gb / 128 Gb Chinese version, but after stopping the ability to get the bootloader unlock code from Huvah and Honor, I was left with a half working smartphone.

1) I do not know Chinese (although the smartphone has Russian, but some applications write hieroglyphs and do not understand me when I speak Russian with them, for example: HiVoice, voice search in the settings)

2) in any service center of Huawei in my country, they refuse to help me, because I have a Chinese version.

3) some functions of the phone do not work, example: (security / phone search, writes that the service is not available in my region), the hwcloud service and the help and support service in the account also do not work.

4) in the phone book, when dialing any digit, the numbers of Chinese politicians appear, I can’t remove them.

5) Online identification of mobile numbers and smart sms do not work in my region.

6) there are also other functions that do not work, but a lot of writing.

All these problems can be solved by getting the bootloader unlock code so that I can upgrade to the European version, but no one wants to help me with the service centers and support for Huawei and Honor in Ukraine, as well as on global sites.

I am not the only one with such a problem, we are many, it is harder for us, we have half working smartphones. I paid for the phone money, but I got half the working smartphone (namely, half the functions, not all). HELP US PLEASE, I AM SURE OF US WITH SUCH A PROBLEM IN THE WORLD A LOT.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] zelendel:
Well then to be honest. It is your fault. Never and I mean never buy Chinese versions of devices. Not only do 6ou have issue alike you do now but you also have the Spyware they enclude in the devices by requirement of the Chinese government.

So basic you learned a lesson. You get what you pay for.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Nakamura:
I think there's no option available for you as of now, the great Huawei/Honor won't make a exception for you to hand out the bootloader unlock code and there's no 3rd party solution known yet (like DC Unlocker), so that means there's basically no option at all...

Saving some bucks by purchasing "off-region" bears exactly this risk, to not be able to modify the device satisfyingly, what I actually don't understand is that you initially had I think 60 days to request the code, how could you missed it anyway if it is that important?

No matter what the reason is, only hope for you is that someday someone come up with a 3rd party solution, so that you can unlock the device and do the necessary modifications - this however is very unlikely!

Edit: or you get a wrecked Honor 10 (European version) off of eBay or somewhere and swap out the motherboard, that's actually a viable solution to your problem (needs further research to be 100% sure that it works and how but I don't see why it shouldn't be possible to do)
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackintosh5:
You can unlock bootloader, rebrand and flash a normal ROM for free, but only if you are on the June security patch or earlier. Please PM me for the method.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sanchogp:
I bought my Honor10 - September 24, 2018, I did not have 60 days, I ran into the problem right in the forehead. You understand, in any case, I will not claim service, as the phone is not intended for my region. I talked about the fact that I can not fully use it, describing some of the problems, and there are actually more of them. And on the bill to disassemble my Honor 10 and insert spare parts from another Honor, I think that this is a bad idea because I didn’t pay $ 470 to spend $ 100 more. I think that Huawei and Honor companies will reconsider their interests towards customers. DC Unlocker support site, gave the answer that my smartphone model is not supported.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
Why pm and not sharing dude? Are you trying to sell that? As far i know there is no way to unlock bootloader even if you have june security patch so for the OP be aware of scum

Feel free, anyone who wants to unlock, PM me to avoid going really seriously OT. Please note, there is no point PM'ing me if you have the July security patch or later. If you have upgraded to this patch, the service center will happily downgrade you, just tell them that you want to downgrade because your phone started overheating since the update.
