Honor
- Verdict: 🍅 Just terrible!
- Verdict: ⛔ Avoid at all costs! (Unisoc/Spreadtrum)
Following Honor's split from Huawei in 2020, Honor re-introduced the unlock command in fastboot; however, when you run it, it acts like the bootloader has been unlocked, but it won't actually unlock. Possibly Honor is slowly re-adding unlocks? No one really knows. Someone in that thread also claims they managed to unlock their bootloader, so maybe bootloaders are unlockable. You are best off avoiding Honor for now, but things could improve in the future for them. Unisoc and Spreadtrum devices will never be unlockable; this is not Honor's fault, as Unisoc/Spreadtrum does not allow unlocking.
Certain Kirin-based phones can use PotatoNV.
Older phones (from the Huawei EMUI era)
Apparently you can call Honor customer service, invent a pretext that would require the device to be unlocked (like someone working in cybersecurity needing to remove google services), after being redirected to the good support team, they should be able to give you the code for your device. They might not have it and will in this case redirect you to Huawei's support team, just do the same on Huawei's end.
This will not work for Honor 50 devices as both Honor and Huawei don't have tokens for this lineup. It is most likely that they lost some part of their databases during the separation of Huawei and Honor, which was happening at the time. This also will not work on Unisoc/Spreadtrum devices due to Unisoc preventing bootloader unlocking.
