even if it is, if they have locked bootloaders, it really defeats the purpose. devices we buy are ours, not the manufacturer’s
i havent been able to find info on whether or not they are locked in 2024 from a quick search, but last i heard they were pretty adamant about locking them down tight which is not something i can cheer on.
I don’t really follow your logic, since the open source OS itself is not tied to the bootloader. This is code that could be run on phones with open bootloaders. Everybody benefits from Huwawei developing an open source operating system as far as I can tell. So, not sure what you can’t get behind here.
My understanding is that it’s mostly open.
