Since HMD / Nokia said that they'd begin offering bootloader unlocks on a selection of their devices, very little has happened, and consequently, very little if any development or popularity on XDA or among other tinkerers or power users has followed.
The 9 is potentially a very attractive device, and I've ordered one on the potential strength of the camera and general value proposition, even if I'd rather the screen weren't so small (6" 18:9 is tiny - given tall aspects' narrowness and poor usability).
I'm hoping they'll do the right thing here, but if they don't, I can't see myself keeping it, and would struggle to recommend it or other Nokia devices to anyone.
I'd like to know this as well. I'm so used to having devices with unlockable bootloader, I was in my feelings when my PureView 9 wasn't unlockable
Anyone who has the phone already, what does it say about the 9 (if anything) when logging into the Nokia bootloader unlock portal?

Not supported by unlock tool. I tried it a few days ago
By looking at the guides available, seems very plausible: https://myphoneupdate.com/root-nokia-9-pureview-and-install-twrp-recovery/
Been interested in this phone even tho it's a bit big.

Pretty sure it's one of those generic guides that those clickbait sites publish. Half their guides are for phones that have never been unlockable.

Well, that's sad.
Never trust those fake guides that were done under template.
I can really unlock the Nokia 9, but the details will be disclosed later.

Last I saw, he wants you to pay and be able to remote into your laptop. Nothx.
Does anyone know how to flash updated stock firmware on Nokia 9 pureview with unlocked bootloader?
I managed to unlock bootloader for Nokia 9 using this site https://hikaricalyx.com/product/nokia-direct-ubl-service/ since it's free service till May 12. Installed magisk, so far so good. Only thing I need now is TWRP

There's a dev that asked for $30 to help with development of TWRP,i can give you his telegram link in DM and you will see some of his work on other Nokia devices, we just need enough users who are interested to donate since he'll not make it for free, keep in mind that he might still not be able to make one that decrypts data and there for making the whole thing very useless without ability to make nandroid backups of /data
Don't get me wrong, i still love this phone, but it's just sad it is almost completely ignored by HMD
The potential of giving this device custom roms and mods has pretty much died out now, for them not giving kernel source and not even allowing us to unlock our bootloaders. rooting is also almost impossible unless you want to pay for a bootloader unlock key or stay on Nougat to achieve a temporary unlock.
It's been two years now, and nothing has changed their minds, and no huge progress was made for this device here in xda, there is actually one custom rom under development but i think it's barely usable, and it was never finished, we all know this phone will soon virtually die because of lack of software support after the 2-3 year period. If this keeps up, then there's no point for me in using this phone any longer, cuz i lived my android phones through root and customizations, and I'll get really bored if my phone can't get any of it. i thought HMD was kind enough, but they favor other higher end devices instead
GCam spared some of its worth at least, but it's only a matter of time before this device will be forgotten the way HMD forgot their purpose who broke the trust of a lot of Nokia fans.
The Nokia 6.1 might be my next phone, but after HMD's poor performance of "service" I'm having doubts now of me not ever creating custom roms for this.
If you have any opinions or if i said something wrong feel free to leave a reply below...
I've got a Nokia 6.1 and it is the best phone I've had. I enjoy using it on latest Android one pie with root. 64gb internal storage, 4gb ram :good: , I'm very happy with it
I recommend the stock rom over GSI ROMs but that's my personal preference.
Here is a list of a/b treble gsi's for Nokia 6.1

Ive been trying to unlock the bootloader, im new in this but i have no idea that nokia 5 gime so many troubles. certantly its so sad.

You need cash. Visit techmesto website.
It's business. HMD wants you to buy a new phone.
On the other hand, it was never popular on XDA. It's on the low-end side that was a little bit more expensive than any other phone with the same specs. There was no reason to buy it in the first place.
Hi !
Little Disclaimer :
- This thread is based on my own opinion about the device and Xiaomi as a smartphone maker.
- The best thing that you can do is make your own opinion about this.
Let's start.
My concerns about Mi 11 starts with the battery which is pretty bad with MIUI. (i bought this phone at the end of January brand new, so it's not aging battery stuff)
Second is thermals, this is really something that touched my user experience here, this phone can gets VERY HOT. 40 degres on regular usage sometimes.
(most of the time you can use the device proprely, i'm talking about heat but it may not be as a concern, tho it is for components :/)
Those may be little concerns for some people, tho i picture this like that : This phone should carry me to at least 4 Generations of Android and Smartphones.
So here was my device concerns about it, it may seem stupid at first glance but those are already pretty big reasons for me.
Next is MIUI and Xiaomi Choices, and oh boy.
Let's start simple, Unlocking a Xiaomi Smartphone.
For after market selling reasons and more, Unlocking a Xiaomi Smartphone will need 1/2 weeks of waiting :
First reason is bricking, Xiaomi dosen't want people to brick their phones because unexperienced users wanted to adventure for more. (Will talk about bricking later)
Second is Modified MIUI, Some not very serious sellers were getting some Modified MIUI ROM device and selling them without knowing about it. (slight privacy concern ^^)
And really, i don't see how waiting time could help!
People are owning their phones and can do whatever they want with them, and this will not change anything... People are just going to wait then get their phones unlocked later.
And for After market selling, it is a sort of fix but someday, shady importers are gonna get around it. And if you think about it, there is way more better ways to limit this.
Now it's brick time.
I'm not gonna go much in detail about Soft Brick, because there is not much to talk about here.
EDL Brick have tho, and it's not simple stuff.
But yeah, EDL Bricking.
Xiaomi have pretty nice reputation about it
First of, MIUI 13 and the Mi 11 Lineup. If you don't know, some devices we're reported bricking after installing MIUI 13, and those we're most of the Mi 11 Lineup.
For some perspective, Google got the Pixel 6 FP Sensor bricked on a Pixel Update. Not very cool but they recovered.
Samsung too got S20 screens bricked on an update, yes. lol
But bricking the full device is a whole other level, and with how poor Xiaomi's EDL Mode is (will talk about it later), this dosen't come nice together.
Also, as a DLC for this , Indian Release of this faulty version also bricked Cameras.
So yeah, MIUI dosen't seem to deal very nice with it.
Tho there is a whole other problem, HOW EDL Mode works on Xiaomi Phones !
Basically, Xiaomi dosen't want you to recover from EDL yourself. Their EDL Mode needs a login that only them have.
Tho you can still get around it, some people are selling an unbrick login for your device for money, they are probably Xiaomi employees and Xiaomi probably dosen't want them to exist.
What if your phone turns off on EDL?
You need to open your device and connect two EDL Pin points TOGETHER ! Yes, warranty.
And to finish, MIUI.
MIUI is in a very bad state right now in my opinion, i found 12.5 releases pretty good but 13 is terrible. (in my opinion)
I don't like how global releases gets nothing of what chinese one has, MIUI 13 Global is reskined 12.5 on A12 but with no monet theming.
The bloatware is worse than Samsung back in the day, and results in terrible battery life.
And MIUI exclusives aren't very special, AI Enhancements for imaging are mostly limited to MIUI Apps so i don't see how it could be useful.
So here it is, some informations may be incorrect because i'm mostly what i know about it, tho it is good enough to make a proper opinion.
And remember, making yours will be much better! The Mi 11 isn't a bad device in my mind, it has the potential to please a lot of people i think!
Thanks for reading all of this.
Have a good day!

Totally agree my main concern are thermals and battery
On top of that SD 888 doesn't make things better also I had an aging 5 years moto x play and wanted to buy a flagship that will carry me at least 3 years, but guess what it was the worst year to buy an Android flagship with the SD 888
That's why I'll try Pixel Experience instead of MIUI.

It's a really nice designed phone with beautiful display and speakers. And that's about it. I don't have battery issues because I tweak a lot and I end my day with 40 - 20 % battery left depending of usage. Cameras are bad or let's say not so good. It with scam mod they are great. But my main sensor is blurred now and only focus when I tapped it. Which is disappointing and annoying. MIUI 13.... Dear God... How come such a smart people work there and they manage to **** things up instead making things better? None of my apps (messenger, Viber and Whatsapp) save sound ringtones if I change them , they revert to default after every phone restart... This one is so annoying it makes me wanna throw the phone in to the river. The other one is removing force dark mode from developer options! Bad decision! I am thinking to go back to 12.5 which have that option , but since I hard bricked my device EDL locked, nothing on the screen, no fastboot no recovery and I had to pay 35$ to flash and fix it , I don't have balls to try to downgrade to 12.5.... I am not having fun with miui13. This devise requires lot of tweaking, which is fun but sometimes painful. All in all just those 2 major things for me , can't force dark mode on certain apps (hard bricked trying to) and can't change sounds of messenger Viber and Whatsapp.... Maybe there are more things but now they are not on my mind. I am also searching for new device.. any suggestions are appreciated
Oh yeah, still can't use gestures with nova launcher....

Why you keep posting same rant again and again, we all know you cant handle it ? Wipe your tears and change forum. I suggest Doro or similar for you.
Good Morning,
i have no technical background but using software and Hardware. Keep hardware for a long time.
Joined as I replace with a xperia 1 .
I like the new phone and was happy with the price, but it has a catch.
I purchase a SO-03L Version with a disgustingly infected(couple dozen of stupid unisntalable apps &n services NTT DOCOMA operating system.
I like to use it via the german Vodafon network.
The device is sim UNlocked
I always would liked to use my phone with a selfchosen clean OS and as want to use the chance of the the device to try a custom os ( lineage OS or maybe the Pixel rom).
I am well aware that most Information are most likely already publish within this forum but I yet struggle to gather them to feel confident about flashbooting my precious device.
Anyhow, if anyone could direct me to the right thread or would even be willing to assist me via dm or similar I would appreciate it.

Moin,
curious about how active the community is. After using the phone "branded" by NTT, I still like the hardware, but the spammy and messy OS doesn't spark joy at all + I am struggling to connect to my german vodafone network without further steps.
even tho I did quite a bit of reading into custom forms, I never ever installed flash tool etc in the fear bricking my precious phone Had a fight with my girl and will proof this evening that I am capable of making that phone my phone.
I will gather and sort my steps and publish them here, if it work smoothly it will be documented and if I was a fool and f*** up to follow not even a dozen step manual, I deeply wish some veteran slides into my notifications >oo<

For Prep I will use the Guide (https://xperiastockrom.com/flash-sony-xperia-stock-rom)
EDIT: JUST CHECKED comments and seems working with emma method so won t work with phones post 2017 ( ITHINK?)
NOTE: MY Last phone died a epic death of touchscreen and I a couldn't recover much data any way. so I did some backup, but it ain t worth a lot.
New Phone new life:-D
I am concerned as in XDA Thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/can-i-fash-xperia-1-so3l-to-global-rom.4436503/ )
the SO 03L brought up issues even tho some solve it with"poking the fingerprint sensor")^^
