Unlock your Nokia 8 bootloader

HMD Global will allow the bootloader on your Nokia 8 phone to be unlocked, allowing for certain customizations. This feature is intended for developers only. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of unlocking a phone’s bootloader, please do not proceed to follow these instructions.

Nokia 8 phones already feature a fully optimized, certificated and tested version of Android. While unlocking the bootloader will allow you to customize your device, we ask that you do not proceed unless you have read and fully agree to the following:

  • Once your phone is unlocked, it will no longer be covered by the manufacturer's limited warranty provided by HMD Global.
  • Once a device is unlocked, the process cannot be undone.
  • Unlocking a device means you may lose some of its functionalities, including – but not limit to – telephone, radio, audio, video, payment, encryption and DRM.
  • After unlocking, all media and content on the device will be erased, and you will need to reinstall all applications.
  • Applications may not work anymore.
  • You could cause permanent/physical damage to your device.
  • Your device may become unsafe to the point of causing you harm.

HMD Global will not be responsible for the damages caused by unlocking your bootloader or by any custom software being flashed to your phone. We strongly recommend that you do not unlock the bootloader unless you understand all of the risks involved.
