[NOT NEWS!!] ZTE & Huawei firmware sending your data it to Shanghai Adups Technology
Security company Kryptowire is saying that they found a breach in security and privacy of ZTE, Huawei and BLU phones.
Location, SMS, contact lists and more are sent back to the company that makes the firmware for these manufacturers, Shanghai Adups Technology Co.
This was "supposed" to be only for the Chinese market, but has made its way internationally.

Another article that refers to the NYT: http://www.channelnews.com.au/secre...back-to-china-found-on-huawei-and-zte-phones/
I'm about to buy an Axon 7 and I thought I'd share this with you for your thoughts.
There's no word on the net about which specific phones, models, firmware versions are affected.
I'm quite annoyed. Just wondering if there's any way to get passed that if in truth it does affect the Axon 7 model I end up buying.

There's a topic two posts down about this already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/reportsome-android-phones-transmit-sms-t3501445
And it's already been discussed in the ZTE USA Community forum:
https://community.zteusa.com/message/68359
Jeff Yee, ZTE's VP of Technology Planning & Partnerships, has stated:
Adups is not used in Axon 7 nor is it used in any phone that is shipped to the US.

Lol, this isn't Reddit. But perhaps should just be locked and closed by a mod if it doesn't apply to us. I didn't note any thing odd on my device sending data back to a place in through my network on WireShark. I'm almost positive as others have said, that it most definitely doesn't apply to our device. Especially if some one at ZTE is saying it, and some thing doesn't seem off.
Google is doing this all time with google services on Android OS selecting personal info from all users and even selling it to third party company.
That's how it makes most of the profit all that years.
Now even more aggressively.

Not to be too off topic, but I did find it strange when they decided not to encrypt end-to-end conversations with Allo.
Another hysteria thread.
Guess what - closed.
Huawei will no longer offer unlockable bootloaders on their devices after May 2018.
They'll end support for unlocked devices sold prior to May 2018 in 60 days.
Here's the article.
Anyone else up to speed on this?

I just saw that last night. I think it stinks. We have 3 honor phones in our family. The older phones get 60 more days of unlock possibility. Guess I will request unlock codes for them while I still can.

the cynic in me is convinced that Huawei is bowing to Chinese government pressure.
to keep tighter control over Chinese citizens, and to prevent them from getting around the GFW.
sh!t move, they deserve to lose support and good will from the community.
thanks for the post, now i have to request a code for a Mate 9.
Is this in any way relevant if you only have the Nexus6P from Huawei (and no other Huawei propducts)?
I thought all nexus models are unlockable by using fastboot or am I wrong about that?

Lol, I was going to say, I don't expect us to get anymore OTA's that would be able to relock our bootloaders.
The 6p hardware is made by huwai but the branding is Google. And Google handles the software updates and I dont think Google would ever lock the bootloader on a Nexus or pixel phone

It may scream Huawei. Even it Google bought the hardware from Huawei, it's Google's software that is running the phone. Essentially it is Google's phone that they sold to the public. Locking the bootloader is a decision that Huawei made to do with it's branded phones (Honor and Huawei phones). From Huawei, "In order to deliver the best user experience and prevent users from experiencing possible issues that could arise from ROM flashing, including system failure, stuttering, worsened battery performance, and risk of data being compromised, Huawei will cease providing bootloader unlock codes for devices launched after May 25, 2018." It added, "For devices launched prior to the aforementioned date, the termination of the bootloader code application service will come into effect 60 days after today's announcement. Moving forward, Huawei remains committed to providing quality services and experiences to its customers. Thank you for your continued support."
Again, this only impacts the Huawei and Honor phones. Not phones that other companies may have purchased from Huawei and rebranded as their own. Also, just to point out it does impact all Huawei and Honor branded phones. It's just that the "older" phones are given an additional 60 days.
Chinese GOVT has 2 much power & influence...
Nese govt is a ? anyway, never had a phone that was Chinese owned. I was worried even w/ ? bootloader, the nese govt has implanted Spyware or worse inside the firmware, a hidden partition, & or even the actual silicon! No thanks.. Suspicious w/ trade war heating ?. Probably have enough sold 2 cause chaos... I think I've heard I heard it all....
Now that Honor has stopped providing the unlock codes for the bootloader, how to get it?
Or from now is impossible to install a custom recovery or root the phone?
You have to use DC-Unlocker to read the bootloader code.

have you actually tried? because not officially supporting and not working are two different things, people with different not supported models were successful when just using auto detection
also try different countries support email, in my home i was not successful, in Germany they gave it to me (though i asked prior deadline but received it two days after deadline)

So probably i sould waste at least 4€ to trying to get a code? All this because Honor has taken this stupid decision.
Btw somewhere i've read that Huawei has patched all backdoor used to get bootloader codes with these alternative ways.
Yes i've tried. I'm italian and first i've asked on Italian network, after on German network and they still wont give it to me.
1. i answered you how to get it
2. there was 2 months period before deadline everyone knew they will stop providing codes, so you either had plenty of time to get a code or not buy phone without this option if it's such issue for you

Hi!
I received my Honor 10 last Friday (after more thant 2 months waiting, thanks to Banggood Moth*# Fuc*/-/-) and i want to unlock the bootloader, but...

Hello everyone, I am from Ukraine !!! The company Huawei and Honor do not take into account any reasons, I have been writing them to various mail and support services since the week, starting with Chinese, English, European support services, and the answer is the same everywhere.

And in my country in general, when they hear that I have a Chinese version of Honor 10 SALT-AL10, they do not want to talk to me !!! Thereby, I infringe upon my rights, since I bought a smartphone, I paid the money, but I cannot fully use it. This is similar to the fact that I bought meat, but I can not eat the whole piece, because the manufacturer has caught it, and said to eat half.

Use the Funky Huawei service. It will let you to unlock the bootloader and install the latest beta pie version.
Honor's recent decision to end bootloader unlocks for their phones upset the entire community, us included, and we've been working feverishly to get them to change the decision. That said, it takes time for complaints to climb the ladder of such a big company, and we've had to settle for baby steps. :fingers-crossed:
We asked Honor for the reason behind this action and this is what they said:
"\The unlock code application service was closed on May 24th for all Huawei/ Honor products as a security measure and to avoid issues caused by ROM flashing. The decision to close the page ensured Huawei/ Honor could continue to provide an excellent user experience for all global fans.

XDA Developers are actively engaged in software development and they constantly provide valuable suggestions to optimize Honor products. Based on their feedback, that unlocked bootloaders make it easier for them to develop and create, Honor has decided to re-open bootloader unlock on an exclusive number of codes to the XDA Developer community. :highfive:
The unlock codes are available for download exclusively to XDA Developers on a first-come-first-served basis via this online form....Update: thank you to all that applied for an unlock code. We are no longer taking requests. Unlock codes will be sent out in batches, starting the week of 25 September and continuing until the end of the year. Further instructions will go out via XDA PM asap. . XDA users can apply for the codes using the form and all applicants will have the opportunity to share their feedback. It might take several weeks to receive an unlock code after requesting one, but we'll work with Honor to expedite the process as much as possible.
XDA will continue to work with Honor to give users a strong voice when decisions are made that affect their user experience. Finally, they had this to say:
Honor phones and systems have gone through rigorous testing and improvements, which is why Honor is able to offer great products at good prices for global digital natives.

Well I am a Huawei owner and I already have my code. But I would like to still thank XDA for pushing this, and actually doing something.
Really hoping Huawei will come up with a solution.
To be fair, I kinda understand them. As it is right now, the OS on the phone is way too fragile, and you can end in a permanent brick way too easy.
But that is something they should fix on their end and not punish users for wanting to have control over these great devices.
Like, I love my Mate 10 Pro. It's one of the best on the market I believe. And hell, I am ready to purchase a Mate 20 (Pro?) if it comes out. But only, if we get custom OS support. Don't get me wrong, I actually like EMUI, and I totally don't get the complaints about EMUI. Trust me. If you complain about it, go and try Touchwiz. You will know hell. However, at some point, Huawei will stop providing updates or will focus on later models. At that point, I would still like to stay 'fresh' and have a lean OS. I had an S3 LTE, a Note 2, Note 4, LG G4, LG G Pro 2, and Cyanogen/Lineage and the others have given these devices new life.
Ps.: tl;dr: If we get custom roms, I keep buying them, my family will buy them, my friends will buy. If not, well, we all go to other brands.
This isn't just spitting in the face of users right?
Hope they change the decision and permanent opening bootloader again.

Well I for one do NOT understand them. It's absolutely NONE of their business what we (who paid good money for OUR phones!) do with the devices! If we brick them or whatever breaks - it doesn't concern Huawei at all since it's not covered by any kind of warranty after we unlock the bootloader.
I bought the View 10 ONLY because of the Honor Open Source program and of course right after I got the damn thing everything shut down.
I for one will NOT support a company that treats their paying customers like dirt - this is my first and most definitely LAST Huawei/Honor device unless they do an about face, let us unlock our bootloaders and support custom roms. ?
This is great news. I'm glad that the talks with them went somewhere. Good job guys.
While I truly appreciate the effort from everyone involved in this action, this doesn't help anything. If the devices are not open for everyone, they are not open for anyone.
This is the equivalent of not escalating a situation with an angry customer and giving him what he wants, a special treatment, while all the others won't get it.
That's not fair at all.

This is hopefully the first step to get this decision reversed at a later stage.
And regarding your analogy comparing this to an angry customer - the people who mainly are concerned by this decision are the people who would come to XDA forums anyway. This decision is more like showing special treatment to a target demographic of angry customers than a single angry customer.
what about Kernel Source codes etc for more recent devices like honor play? are they planing on releasing any?
I'm glad to see a little wiggle room on this. But as Huawei arguably has one of the top devices on market (or so I keep hearing about the P20 Pro) it also starts to make sense.
Here's hoping a good balance can be found.

Except you don't, in the EU at least, inspite of Honour / Huawei claims software modification, including unlocking bootloader doesn't invalidate your hardware warranty.
Good to see. Well done to XDA for sticking to their guns and getting Honor to soften their stance.
Hopefully if just the start and it can become a permanent policy and the Huawei side of the business to do the same. (which I heavily doubt they will
) My P20 Pro would be a perfect phone if I could get from EMUI to stock
Hello, XDA
I am a developer, can I get this benefit to unlock the bootloader of my device Honor?
They must have seen aggresive concurrent Xiaomi taking some market share
what about lock code on Honor V10? some people write about not working old codes on ROM FW>=163 version. Via this service, Huawei sent new code for new room or include downgrading to old room warning with code?

While that IS true you'll have a hard time getting any repairs done once you unlocked it - and besides, my hardware doesn't break due to me f*cking up by unlocking and flashing custom roms etc. If someone flashes a bad kernel and blows their chip due to overclocking or what have you the repair centers can still tell and refuse a warranty repair.
Either way you look at it - letting us unlock our devices does NOT cost them anything, but it will keep us buying their phones.
Hi guys,
So i just read today that starting from now on, the authorisation of using the "Android Licence"for Huawei is definitely over after an extended period of time granted by the U.S Government.
Which means, that starting from today, we will not get any Google updates like security or even the play store itself, and will be probably forced to update manually lot of update like it's already the case for the P40/Mate 30 series....
They say in the article that for Android 11, Huawei is gonna need to use their HMS Service instad of the GMS for all their smartphones, even the already released ones like the P30 Series....
So what do you think about it ? Is it worthing keeping this phone as it's price value is gonna decrease very quickly from now on i think...
It's a shame for this amazing phone to end up like this
Source : https://www.frandroid.com/marques/h...jour-android-la-licence-temporaire-est-tombee (the article is in French, but you can use Google Translate if needed)
Sorry but this is wrong.
There will be Android Updates like before and there will be updates for the PlayStore and all of the apps.
The only thing that is no longer possible, till the elections in the US and the get rid of Trump, is that Huawei will not get the latest Android Versions for new devices. So Android 11 in the final Version is not gonna hit our Device as early as we are used to.
Android btw is Open Source so the Updates and security updates can't be held away from any device. They only will be later on the Phone as Huawei doesn't get developer Versions.
And as the Huawei P30 Pro is already certified it can't be withdrawn from thwe certification on the Google Play Store.
Thats what I have read for over a year now.
i'm french and i know frandroid
i think we should find other sources for such a complicated subject, they might be wrong
I just posted my concerns as its us, customers, who are the most affected by this numeric war between US Government and China.
I just hope the future U.S elections will change the situation if another president than Trump is elected and decide to come back as thing was before.... but i'm not sure that its gonna be that simple.

Don't worry, there are workarounds to get GMS working on device, no problem.
As soon as we'll lose our GMS i will create a guide thread for P30 Pro users about how to get Google apps & also Google Certification. Untill then, use the phone as is and most important, DON'T SELL IT. IT's still one of the best devices on the market. I bought myself an Oppo device last week and gave my P30 Pro to my kid, but i'm allready missing battery life :silly:.

So, to be more precise, P30 pro will no longer have any security updates. But Playstore and apps will works without issues anyway, and it is possible to update them, this is it?

What happened to Mate 30 Pro / P40 Pro will happen to P30 / P30 Pro and all Huawei devices before those that came with GMS preinstalled. Read bellow for more info. We can sideload Google apps, but the device might not get Google Certification (or it could work if we use the P40 Pro users guide for how to from their forum).

or maybe get other store like Aptoide ... I was planing to be with this phone till 5g get more mature here in my country!
P30Pro came with the Google Service and certified pre-installed so this cannot be withdrawn!
So nothing will happen to the device now!
Nad as Android has an Open Source arm with AOSP security updates will still come to the device too.
The only thing that could be is, that we don't get Android 11 or more likely to become it later than we are used to.
Don't know where other confirmed information will come from. Didn't read anything different till now that is really secured.
That is what by the way is mentioned from google Employee in the thread on the link from Silviu. Don't know why you write something completely different @SilviuO ??
