I'm not sure if this is allowed,
but my advice based on my own experience:
do not buy the ZTE AXON
Why not? Bad customer support!
1 - the device is nowhere to be found in the support section of the
official websites
2 - no manuals on the official websites
3 - no software on the official websites
4 - Mailed them for help, and this is the answer:
"We thank you for your purchase of the Axon device.
=========================================================
We apologize but we do not distribute the stock ROM for the Axon device.
======================================================
Any attempts to root the device also void your warranty.
Thank you for your understanding
Regards,
ZTE USA. "
The big company's that are really mature like Samsung and LG
do distribute their stock Roms without any problems.
I hope that someone advice ZTE on this point.

I have a couple times and was thanked for the input but no results. I ended up selling my Axon. Can't figure out why an OEM would not at least provide the stock ROM for repair instances. I can't think of any other mobile phone manufacturer that doesn't.
Yep, it's just a simple company that can't compete withe the big guys.
There are hopefull signs and i hope they will make progress soon: in a tweet from "@AxonPhone" they said:
"@Theo1569 we apologize for the frustrations. We may not be able to make this change immediately, it is one we can take into consideration."
So we, as buyers, should keep the pressure on until they distribute the stock roms just like the big companies!

Still nothing for A2015
I know this is early days given the device is still a couple of days away from being officially released, however so far root is not looking good for the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
As we know the complexities of Huawei not releasing bootloader unlock codes has made things difficult, but I'm told by no means impossible. Sites like Funky Huawei claim to be able to provide bootloader unlock codes - but at a cost. We also potentially have the barrier of the OEM unlock option being greyed out which may make us fall at the first hurdle.
Therefore the way I see things we need:
- to be able to select OEM unlocking in the developer options (either after the 26th October we may be able to, or this may require some clever developer to provide a workaround...)
- to be able to unlock our bootloaders
- Potentially for twrp to be made available for our device, which would hopefully open us to the option of custom roms and perhaps flashing firmware updates etc.
- and last but not least, for root with Magisk (ideally this root method due to the great modules that it has!)
It would be AMAZING if we can root and if custom roms started being made for this phone, in time of course, given it has not been fully released yet. But regardless I wished to open this thread and perhaps we could start to pledge money to entice a dev to work on this for us.
I'll kick this off and would pledge £30 for TWRP and Magisk root working on this phone. I'm not sure how this bounty thing normally works and so if forum moderators have anything issues with this just let me know!
If you are serious about a pledge then post here and I'll update this thread.
If you're a dev then let me know how these things work!
Cheers
UPDATE:
Guys, it really isn't looking good. See attached screenshot of response from Huawei regarding the bootloader unlocking and the OEM Unlock option being greyed out in developer settings. As far as I understand it, that option is crucial and seems Huawei won;t even be letting that be an option, let alone provide unlock codes.
I have just had to return my Mate 20 Pro due tue screen uniformity issues and to be honest I won't be getting a replacement (I don't think).
It saddens me, but if anyone wishes to take over this thread/bounty just feel free to copy the pledges posted here and perhaps start a new thread.

cd993 - £30
Railey - £22
Havokk -£20

Fully appreciate the method is private at present.
Would you mind PM'ing me for a little extra detail? (e.g. The steps you took, what form of root etc.) that'd be very much appreciated.
Maybe @topjohnwu could help you out and offer some assistance in getting Magisk working ?

Sorry, can't. I can say that it's not something that just anyone can do.
I can say that buying the phone pre-rooted will be your best chance of having a rooted device.
More details on that will be coming in the near future.

Flashing stock firmware is possible, but not pre-rooted firmware, at least for now.
It's a new phone so research is ongoing.

OK thanks mate.
Looking forward to hopefully hearing more about root in the future. I've already oreded ordered and receiving my device tomorrow, really hope root at some point is possible!
I would spent 25,-€...
[emoji1303][emoji6]
With a root shell, based on it's capability, it is possible to install Magisk with it. I'll have to see how it ends up to be before I can give a definite answer how I can achieve it.

I have conditions for my pledge...so I'll remove this post if conditions for either scenario aren't met:
* $50 AUD if:
- Tested and trialed root method is delivered on/before before Dec 7th
- The phone does NOT LOSE functionality upon root (eg: VoLTE, camera limitations, poor phone or wifi single signal etc)
Unlike some others who back out late in the piece, I'm good for it

That twitter reply from before... damn M20Pro rooted within a day.. Hoping it releases.
Hello everyone.
Seem like alot of people are getting the wanted OEM unlock now, WHO do we need to get a working PIE ROM going? Are we getting close?
I think a bounty needs to be started in order to get a Good recognised ROM created interested. They arent gonna pay for a device that isn't officially released in USA. I'm sure there is 90 people on XDA wanting a custom ROM willing to pay £10 each to a bounty to get a device for a developer.
Indeed now all the bootloader situation is solved it would be great to get some working non EMUI ROM working...
I would certainly contribute to a bounty but maybe better first we are where we are , if there is anyone working on this, or could be potentially interested ... Maybe we could start by renaming this thread to something more informative to see if we can get some interest on this topic?

Working on it...
I`m interested
Eur 10 is very justified if we can get a fully functioning non EMUI rom
With treble support and released kernel sources it seems to be very realistic.
The only thing I'm worried about is the camera, but in the P20 Pro forum they already have a port of the original one working on Lineage.
It looks like OEM Unlock could be enabled again in FW 9.0.0.171 according to another xda post I found via Google
When I had the OP5t I was very happy to use the LiquidROM Dabug123, maybe we should look in the same direction for compliling a ROM for the M20P
You still need to pay for a bootloader unlock code currently once you get to .171

Quick question guys. If I unlock my bootloader and root the phone, can I go back and re-lock it to bring the phone back to its original factory state?

I am not 100% sure about the Mate 20 Pro, but I had unlocked my previous Mate 10 Pro (with official unlock code from Huawei, and adb) and months later I easily re-locked it back, using the same code.
Forgive my ignorance but can i Flash a custom rom without unlocking the bootloader? If not is my only option to pay FunkHuwaei for a code?
no you can't and yes it is
Hello everyone, still on 153 here in Denmark on 3, should we reach out for other ROM maintainer for guides? Do any other than EMUI people and FH Guys "helping" us?

For those of us with the challenge/misfortune of being stuck on a non-OEM-unlockable Canadian A70, suffering with a stock build.
There are numerous references in different threads, but the A70 is (for now) a relatively complicated device, even moreso for those on the A705W variant.
This thread is to provide a home for resources, questions and solutions, and hopefully allow many Canadian users to break free.

i have the latest combination files for every variants of A70, i don't know what you will do with thoses.
from a engineer i spoke with, we need a samsung dev account to authorize combination files to be flashed, fixing the error (Please get approval to flash factory binaries).

this isn't the latest combination firmware.
I traded my S10e (SM-G970W) for an A70 (SM-A705MN).
Partly due to the horrible battery life but mostly due to the locked bootloader Samsung has been blessing us with for years now. I really enjoy Samsung devices but without root i see no reason to use the product. I've got a couple years of upgrades and time to see if anything changes. I really hope this gets sorted for MOST of the devices sold in Canada and the U.S.A.
Has anyone made progress here ?
Not as far as I know.

Hey, I'm currently wondering about leaving my Samsung Galaxy S9 running on LineageOS 18.1 behind and invest into more up-to-date hardware.
The Oppo Find X5 Pro catches my interest.
However, I'd want to switch to custom ROMs at some point, latest by the end of its update support and possibly root the device.
Considering this, would the Find X5 Pro still fit my needs?
Currently Bootloader Unlock is not possible. Maybe after three months...
Try to get to fastboot is hard . So far i figured out how to get to fastboot.
Run cmd from either Adb/fastboot folder or Adb from platform tools .
run the command:
adb devices
next run :
adb reboot bootloader
while it reboots hold the down volume and power.
it put into fastboot. After that Im lost. Thats as far as I got.
I cant read Chinese
If a phone is not rootable or custom rom possible etc - NO BUY!
Sry Oppo. Hope you Developers find a good way soon!

I came to the same conclusion. The release offers coming with all that extra stuff such as watch, wireless charger and protector seemed to be a good deal.
Especially, when my current phones battery struggles a lot, front camera issues came up and sometimes people I'm calling feel uncomfortable with extra noise.
Though, usually I'm someone who uses their phone for the extra mile. Knowing that Oppo is as restrictive toward a custom roms, protected me from making a not thought through gut decision.
Thanks for the help ...I just didnt have time to do google translate. I will unlock the bootloader tonight
After i get into the " you have entered fastboot " no matter what button combination i do... it will either just reboot or reboot to recovery
To unlock bootloader of OPPO phone, we need to use "Deep Testing" apk to request approval from OPPO, but there's no such apk for Find X5 Pro yet.
I'm OPPO Product Ambassador and asked OPPO to release it, but they replied their developer is not interested in it.

Thats just wrong. I think once you pay out right for phone @ 1600.00 Canadian. You should be able to open bootloader. I would never of bought it and will tell everyone not to buy a Oppo product....buy Oneplus

I'm not sure if its device specific but this one seems to be working on Realme GT2 Pro which has at least the same OS and SOC. Probably worth a look.

This device finally seems like a worthy buy if one wants to go into the Samsung ridden 4nm fabrication 8 gen 1 CPU. Best temperatures and lowest throttling of all phones with that chip. One can only hope if Realme releases it with an unlocked...
