I'm up for a new phone with my monthly plan, to bad there is no lineage os or unlock, or am I in the dark at this point?
I got my mate 20 pro unlocked finally. See my post

HI guys. I want to by the mate 10 pro version but can the bootloader be unlocked?
Another question is that if the phones bootloader is unlocked and rooted do I loose some features?
What do you guys recommend, Mate 10 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S8+?
Thanks
Anyone? I want to buy the mate 10 pro but can the bootloader be unlocked? Or can the phone be rooted with locked bootloader?
If you like root and trying custom roms i advise you to go to S8+

Yes, but the free service Huawei offers will stop 24th of July.
You will probably still be able to unlock with dc unlocker but it cost money to use.
You can't root without unlocking.
Got it.
Another question, with unlocked bootloder and root do I loose some features of the phone?
some of them lose Android pay functionality and probably you will loose warranty
Huawei has apparently closed the the possibility to unlock the bootloader for the future.
Does this mean, there is no other way to unlock the bootloader with their devices and instal custom ROMs?
You can still get unlock codes. I have got mine for Mate 10 just today in the event I decide I want to unlock after 22nd July.
Thanks for this hint, halfcoast!
But i - and a lot other users - do not have a huawei phone yet and only think about buying one in the future depending on if it's unlockable or not.
Does the "huawei service" stop on the 22nd July and no unlock codes and no other unlock method, no customROMs for the mate 10 and their other phones afterwards?

My understanding is that after the 22nd, they won't be providing any codes to unlock anymore.
U can't unlock bootloader after 22.07.2018 = the death for custom roms
I will sell my Mate 10 Pro and never buy again a Huawei device. So easy...
Guys if I request an unlock code the keep it without do anything with my device I will lose my warranty?
Even without unlocking bootloader?
I have mate 10 pro c432
Mate the 10 pro be with you
You only loose warranty when you unlock your device, even then you can relock it and it should be fine to take back for warranty

What nzzane wrote is correct. I had an honor 6x that I unlocked then found a screen problem, relocked it and had no problems with a replacement.
Does unlocking the bootloader on my Mate 10 Pro have any effect on the device as in with LG you get the warning screen on every boot or on Sony devices you lose DRM keys resulting in bad camera quality?, I have no plans to root or install custom ROMs at the moment, but if it will no longer be possible after the 24th then I'd rather do it and have the option, as long as nothing is sacrificed.
Thanks for any feedback
Thx all for the answers. Till when u can get unlock code? Any link for the correct site?
Mate the 10 pro be with you
Hi,
I am a first time Xiaomi user and just got the Mi 10 Global version. I tried manually installing the official global MI 10 Miui 12 ROM, but the update failed as it couldn't be verified. Please take a look at the screenshots..
I can't update it via fastboot neither, as my bootloader is locked and Xiaomi wants me to wait for 168 hours (7 days!) to try again.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Don't update the **** miui 12

Because it is a Vodafone branding. You have to wait till Vodafone release the update.

So the VF at the end of MIUI version number means Vodafone?
If that's the case I might as well go and unlock my bootloader, flash the unbranded global rom and relock the bootloader.
Do I loose anything by unlocking and relocking the bootloader? I had Samsung phones before, where unlocking the bootloader would trip Knox and invalidate your warranty.

Yes VF is Vodafone branding. If you unlock bootloader you will loose your data. So make a backup.

So in the end I flashed it with Xiomi Tool V2 and I didn't need to unlock the bootloader.
I've currently a Huawei P20 Lite but it's softbricked and it will be repaired.
But the chance is 50% that it can't be repaired anymore and that's why I look for a new phone in case my phone can't be repaired.
I searched on Google and I saw the Oppo A72 and I'm considering that phone.
I find it important that the bootloader can be unlocked for free because I will flash a custom ROM on it but I couldn't find a reliable answer on that question.
So what's the bootloader unlock policy of Oppo?
Are their phones bootloader unlockable for free or can't the bootloader be unlocked at all?

The Bootloader on the A72 cannot be unlocked at the moment and fastboot mode has limited use. So no easy commands to unlock bootloader ot flash images
Okay, for that reason I've ru!ed out the Oppo A72 from my list.
I'll order the Xiaomi Poco X3 instead
Update: I've chosen the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 128GB as my next phone.
However, if my sister finds it too expensive and tells me she can't order that phone then it will be the Xiaomi Poco X3. (I'm only 17 years old and I'm not allowed to order stuff on my own)

More update pls
I got my Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 128GB on February the 15th of 2021.
I used the stock ROM (MIUI EEA Global) until June until I flashed Xiaomi.eu Weekly and I use that ROM since then.
It's now (The time I'm writing this message) more then a year ago since I got my phone and I've to say that I'm in general very satisfied with my phone and enjoy using it.
It was definitely worth it.
