[UPDATE]
Confirmed to support Treble by "ali ba".
Hello all,
I've read lots of conflicting news about the support status of Project Treble in Nokia 6 (2018),
Can anyone confirm the support or the lack of it once and for all?
Thanks.
Correct me if I'm wrong but every device launching with 8.0 has to support Treble does it not? I guess the problem lies with whether Nokia will provide the ability to unlock the bootloader. I'm not sure if it makes a difference that this is an Android One device in this respect.
Does anyone have an official firmware available for download? I have TA-1054, China version and it seems it has a custom firmware. Thank you.

You're absolutely right, the problem is the Chinese release was on Nougat, and nobody has yet ran the Treble flag test on the international version.. maybe because not so many hands got it yet... We'll wait..
According to the test app it does support Treble, but I'm not sure whether to trust it.
Came with an update out of the box and I didn't check the version before applying it (which would have made that clearer).

Thank you very much!!! finally some useful results, I think we can trust the app, but just to make sure, could you please follow the procedure described in this page.. more specifically the terminal flag test..
https://www.xda-developers.com/project-treble-android-oreo/
Also, do you own the Chinese device or the international one?

EU-version, shipped by Amazon.
Here is a screenshot from Treble Check on Nokia 6.1
(TA-1043/Europe/Android 8.1 update/Shipped with Android 8.0)
Code:
$ adb shell getprop ro.treble.enabled
true

Hi, same here. Do you have any news? Have you managed to install unmodified Android to your TA-1054? Will appreciate any info.
Thanks.

Nope, no news yet.
Can someone tell us the difference between all Nokia 6 2018 models please?
TA-1068
TA-1045
etc...
Is there a specific model for 'Worldwide' like Nexus/Pixel?
Is there a Europe version?
...
...
THANKS!
[Update]
Just noticed you actually did just that... Thanks.
I think this is an important topic that deserves it's own thread..
Would you care to start it?, also what models are sold in what markets?
That would be useful.
cheers.
Try to obtain the global firmware of TA-1054. I can provide you with the firmware.
I have two Nokia 6.1 devices. One is TA-1054 and the other is TA-1089. Both Global/International/Made in India version. I have the firmware files. But I doubt, you'll be able to flash them with the Stock recovery in your Chinese Variant. If you want the links, I'll provide you. And yes, Nokia 6.1 supports Treble. And I've recently flashed Android 11 GSI. Well, only issue was unlocking the boot loader to flash custom recovery. I never want to bootloader unlock any other Nokia phone anytime soon.
The TA-10xx naming determines the variant of the phone. The (4 + 64 GB) variant is TA-1089. The values change depending on the ram and storage size. Also newer models for the same phone we're released with Mediatek processors and Snapdragon for different markets. Just like Samsung does, sells the Exynos variant in Asia while selling the Snapdragon variant in US, UK, EUR, etc. Nokia also started doing this with their Nokia 5.1 and 5.3( if I recall correctly, not sure). So those phones have multiple variants. The TA-10XX naming scheme is quite similar to RM-xxx scheme followed by Nokia in the past, when Nokia was owned by Nokia and not HMD. In fact, their shift to TA-XXXX naming suggest that they belong to the family of Android/HMD owned Nokia and not the old Nokia. Even the 3310 (The beast) and 8110 4G have TA-XXXX product code instead of the RM-XXX. It's like a product code which can determine the RAM, Storage and Chipset as well as Region of the device.
So to flash Android R, TWRP or TWRP based custom recovery is required. Then flash any Android 10 Custom ROM with Treble support. Also flash dm no verify.zip with the ROM. Reboot to set up device. Don't add any Google account and password, etc. Then again boot into TWRP, changed to Image mode from zip mode in Install. Flash the system.img from Android 11 GSI.
Then reboot.
Follow the guidelines to unlock your bootloader

Don't think so. It will most likely have Treble with a-only partition.

Well it may have some benefits for OEMs that try to update their phones as soon as a new android version releases, like OnePlus or Samsung, but it doesn't really have a lot of benefits for Companys like Xiaomi, which have a lot of devices that have to be updated because of the long support cicles, and Xiaomi is focusing more on MIUI anyway. That's why Xiaomi android version updates always take longer than other OEMs.
That's the OEM side - on the custom rom side flashing a-only Treble ROMs is just easier

But the LOS team has said A/B partitions has made it easier for the devs once they learned how to develop for it. Plus how would A/B affect the OEM? They can release A/B updates for supported phones and A partition only updates for phones that don't support them. It's in fact more advantageous for a company like Xiaomi who release a large number of updates to adopt A/B in the future as they can be sure a bad update won't brick the device like what happened with the recent anti rollback protection fiasco

Nope Nitrogen doesn't support A/B partition.
LOS has (or is working on) own recovery with native support a/b for LOS's OTA needs.

That's only for devices which natively support A/B. Devices which have only A partition should use TWRP
does mi max 3 A only? or a/b?
to download img which choise?
Now it does...
As of most recent CHN beta FWs, the Mmx3 is being converted from SAR A-only, to A/B non SAR.
Latest China beta is system as root (sar), a layout that was initially used for a/b. But there is still no b slot in mi max 3.

I have read that it's easier to make custom ROMs for snapdragon devices now realme 2pro is coming with that..and supports for project treble
LOL! IN YOUR DREAMS BUDDY! xD
Oppo-RealMe = Won't allow you to unlock your bootloader!
Best Specs killed by bad OEM+OS!

There is a option in Realme2pro developer settings called OEM unlock which can be used to unlock bootloader.
Cant we just use Kingoroot or other apps to root the phone and then flash custom recovery using rashr or flashify?

Hello Mate,
You are in the opposite direction.
Kingroot and other such rooting apps only root old devices ( by old I mean devices launched literally 2-3 years back ). Technology has changed now. And also the Android Security and OS integration has changed with time.
New devices now have to have a custom recovery first and then you can root the device through that custom recovery with Magisk OR SuperSU. And to install the custom recovery, you need to unlock the bootloader.
So going step wise in ascending order it is --> Unlock Bootloader --> Install Custom Recovery --> Flash Root App ( Magisk / SuperSU ) --> Enjoy

Point # 1 : Realme phones do not have a fastboot recovery installed. So there is literally no way to unlock the bootloader without entering fastboot recovery mode ( correct me if I am wrong ).
Point # 2 : Even if there is any way to unlock the bootloader, there is no Official support from Realme for unlocking the bootloader which means you lose the warranty the moment you unlock your bootloader.
Point # 3 : Realme is currently working on their own brand new UI different than Color OS which will take at least Q3 of 2019 so don't expect any Official support.
What we can do :
ALL the Realme users should put up a request to Realme for providing Official bootloader unlocking support just like Xiaomi so that we can all enjoy some cool custom roms or maybe tweak the Color OS as we want. The more the requests the more Realme will listen to us.
A dedicated Realme Official Community Forum is going to start on October 31 where we all can put our requests for providing bootloader unlocking support as well as for changes and bug fixes in the current Color OS. I guess the request for changes in the Color OS UI will only happen in the new Realme UI as they will take suggestions from us that what we want and then apply that in the new Realme UI which they will provide later. Also we know that Realme will still be related to Oppo for at least 1-2 years more so don't expect a BIG difference like a nearly Stock Android type of Realme UI. The new Realme UI will definitely be somewhat like a copy of iOS just like the ColorOS of Oppo and Funtouch of Vivo.
( FYI : Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus are all brother companies who are under 1 single Parent company which is BBK Electronics and even if Realme has now seperated from Oppo, I assume it is still under BBK Electronics, so all these 4 smartphones companies are actually just 1 single company operating with different sub brand name.

The article says that flashing TWRP requires an unlocked bootloader and links to this article which ultimately says
This article is under development and needs an update. OPPO has high security on their smartphones & needs individual development. This is a newly launched smartphone, therefore, will take some time. I will update the article ASAP

Yes.
It is a clickbait.
Today at the end of 2018 the most popular, trusted, secure and REAL Android development forum is XDA and developers around the globe put forth their Custom ROM development only on XDA.
It is useless, also not safe to trust any private website for any kind of custom Rom. XDA is the only and ultimate place to search for and trust on any custom ROM :fingers-crossed:

Hi Guys,
I have an issue with my realme 2 pro (Color OS 5.2), When i make any application like Mcafee Mobile security as a device manager, it keep giving yellow floating notification for system security risk, I have tried multiple things but it doesn't go. Interestingly, i have other apps also set as DEvice manager but the notification only comes when i make McAfee Antivirus as Device manager. I heard that its a known issue with ColorOS, can anybody suggest any fix for this or facing the same issue?

Never flash a rom not meant for your device...EVER! Roms are specific to one device and on occasion, multiple variants of the device, but not from one manufacturer to another.

Global = Huawei
AUM= Still Huawei
Huawei makes both phones. Same manufacturer.
Global is a variant. L20 is a variant.
So like I said, you May be able to flash L20 roms on a Global but I don't own the device so I don't know the specifics. You need to look at the release thread for a rom(or stock firmware as another example) and read the first post or look at the thread title to see if it lists multiple variants of the Honor 7.
In either case, your question is better asked in the honor 7 forums where people know more information about the device.

Anyone can summarize how to upgrade BLN-L21 UK version (firmware BLN-L21C432B382) to EMUI 8.0 other than converting to Chinese/Indian first please?
If anyone have converted to Chinese from BLN-L21, then let us know how its going? I want to upgrade so that I can put one of the latest ROMS as this is the prerequisite of most ROMS. Thanks
Would this do it - at least its European (German)?

It seems that the convertion is mandatory. But some more feedbacks than "loosing nfc" would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Dont think we are loosing anything apart from NFC because that is the only difference we had in region specific models.
BTW there was one more guide to update but that will convert to Chinese version i guess. I guess it was by Khan.

I've seen both guide to rebrand to Chinese or Indian version guys, I still wonder which one will offer me more Android 9 custom rom versions. If you have any advice?
Any custom roms will work with nfc? (Android 8 ones?)
Thx for the hard work, your advices and guides are still very helpful in 2021! Just bootloader unlocked and rooted a EU honor 6x. Only paid DC unlocked version get me the unlock code in 2021.
But stick to the thread.... BLN-L21 is losing just nfc to be rebranded, OK. Now any advantage Indian VS Chinese version? Any custom rom for directly the EU version?

I would prefer Indian lme because there are more chances of bricking while moving from Chinese to other versions as there are no custom bin. Once i rebranded to i shuffled easily to EU, US and other variants + custom ROMs

I don't want to download a ROM from a random source. My main focus is security which is why I don't want to continue using this device after May 2024.
Sadly not yet

I wrote "not yet". Does that mean there is hope ? Specifically which ROM can I expect to support the G20 in the near future ? LineageOS ?
Also someone told me something about the bootloader. I don't know much about Android. He told me that Nokia does not allow installation of custom ROMs. Is this true ? If yes then how am I supposed to install a custom ROM even if a project starts supporting the G20 ?

Ah it all depends brother if someone builds a ROM for the device, but if nobody does, there's just no hope.
and it's not true you can still install custom ROMs on Nokia devices, You can surely unlock it's bootloader and you need to install a custom recovery in order to install a ROM. And about how you'd know, there's just no way. like just keep checking the Xda forums of the Device Nokia G20

Hello Friends~! I bought one of these phones specifically to root and build a rom for, since I saw it was lacking any options. I have to finish a project I am working on, so give me a couple weeks max and I should have some stuff up for y'all.

As far as your other question, I like to do three builds, one is a Recovery Rom that is Stock, the second is a Stock Rom that is Rooted, the third one being Lineage with Root. I traditionally put Gapps on there, the mini. I can do images without Gapps if requested, etc.

Hi,
With an unlocked bootloader you can root your device. Then, you can extract vendor files and build a rom from scratch.
For those people that have bootloader unlocked, please, upload vendor files to a git repo.
