Worse, on Android 10+, the unlock command has been completely removed from fastboot.Ĭertain Kirin-based phones can use PotatoNV In the past, Huawei allowed you to unlock with a special code you get by submitting some information to (IMEI, serial, model, and product ID), but in 2018 "corporate values have changed" and the site went down. If you know of specific details/unlocking methods, please PR them or drop them in the discussions The list: Avoid at all costs! Huawei/Honor You never know what will get the axe next: Shizuku? ADB? Sideloading? I thought it might be a good idea to keep track of bad companies and workarounds. While this may not affect you directly, it sets a bad precedent.


Over the past few years, a suspicious number of companies have started to "take care of your data", aka block/strictly limit your ability to unlock the bootloader on your own devices. Keeping track of companies that "care about your data 🥺"
