Tecno#

  • Verdict: ⚠️ Proceed with caution!
  • Verdict: 🍅 Terrible! (Unisoc)

Tecno requires you to have a Tecno ID for two weeks before the OEM Unlocking option becomes available in the settings. Afterwards, you can follow the standard unlock guide for devices with a MediaTek SoC. Unisoc devices cannot be unlocked, this is not Tecno's fault, Unisoc does not allow unlocking.

Kernel sources#

Tecno, despite using the GKI (Generic Kernel Image), does not release the kernel source code for its devices. This constitutes a violation of the GPL license, which requires manufacturers to distribute the source code along with the binary kernel builds.
