Huawei phone's bootloader can't be unlocked since last year, so you'll have to look elsewhere.
- commoner 7y agoYes, since mid-2018, Huawei has not provided a public method for anyone to unlock the bootloader of any Huawei phone. https://www.xda-developers.com/xda-huawei-decision-stop-bootloader-unlocking https://www.xda-developers.com/xda-huawei-decision-stop-boot... If you can't unlock the bootloader, that means you can't change the OS or root the phone. This upset developers, especially since Huawei pays XDA Developers to promote their sub-brand (Honor) with sponsored content. It's ironic to see Huawei ads plastered all over XDA when Huawei phones are not developer-friendly at all.
- bubblethink 7y agoxda the website is just like any other website that will take ad money. The developers are independent and do their own thing. xda is one of those relics of the past that just has a large number of users. So you get visibility and QA for free. Other than that, replacing a forum like xda that is not ad run should not be that difficult if it weren't for the inertia.
