Please post address/link to the site you are refereing to.
The only thing I can find about an possible update right now is this. It states that the file you can download is "ZTE BLADE series-Froyo kernel(2.6.32) source code".
- Can I update my Blade my self by using this file? If yes, please advice on how-to
Love my Blade!
This was about a month ago it was released although I don't think you can just build it and flash it onto the phone. If i remember rightly zte blade missed out some important files to allow for us to do this.

I'd like to know too...
I'm pretty certain is is not flashable, i think it needs to be built first and I think it is the source for the chinese model or the japanese model, not sure which but would need some further tinkering to get it booting and working on other (european) blades
Honor 7 (PLK-L01) Kernel Source Code Discussion​
Hello, honorable Honor 7 users , I hope you all are using this device to the fullest, now I'm starting this thread to discuss about the kernel source code for our beloved device. There are a lot of benefits from it.
1. We can create a master tree for our device.
2. After creating the tree we can create various branches of different custom ROMs, so that we can compile them from it.
3. We can add different CPU Govereners to our device to unleash its better performance, or better stability.
4. ETC. ETC.
There are still more benefits from the kernel source code.
Having The Honor 7 Kernel Source Codes Is Extremely Important For Development
Thank you for posting about that.
Indeed having the Android kernel source codes of (Huawei Honor 7 - PLK-L01) will help a lot in the development and porting process.
I am going to contact Huawei support team today to see when they are willing to share the source codes.
For anyone who is interested in this, please reply to this post and try to contact them too pointing your interest in having them.
This would be the most important step towards having custom ROMs on this amazing device.
Special thanks for "DigiGoon" to bring that up. :good:
Source Code
Yes, absolutely right @kenshiwara we can create custom ROMs and can tweak them to make this device even more better.
So guys, if more and more people will demand for the source code from Huawei then more closer we will get to have a custom ROM out of it, and I think that this device will gain much popularity after the company releases it worldwide, so we will get more and more developers working on it on different ROMs, but for that we need kernel source, so please contact Huawei for the same it's for our good only.
its funny,
I sent a email to them, on Monday asking the same thing (no reply thought) and was going to start a post about it , guess i was beaten to it
I really like this device, and would be a shame if not customs roms are available

A petition will make zero difference. Honor UK and EU staff are well aware that they need to provide GPL code but they have to wait for the software team in China to provide the files. No point hassling them on social media etc as it won't make the code magically appear.
And even if we had kernel source it does not mean that custom ROMs will appear!
If you expected to be able to run custom ROMs then I'm sorry but you bought the wrong device.

Having the source can mean that developers can make custom ROMs and flash it through twrp. I get your point that there is a lack of developers for this device, but I would like to mess around with the source, and see if I can create a ROM (only ported mtk ROMs in the past and modify some files in the past, which would require some learning)
And I didn't buy this device for custom ROMs, but it would be nice to have some

As, I said earlier, with kernel source we can create tree, and out of the master tree we can create branches for various custom ROMs, and well in past I have made a ROM without kernel source, and made a tree for my other device(XOLO Play T1000), and successfully flashed via TWRP, it was having problems with network, wifi, so didn't made it to xda so, I think after having the source code we can create something

Thank you for supporting this thread and creating a petition as well. I have signed your newly created petition a moment ago.
As we said before, having the Android kernel source codes will massively help in the porting and development process.
It is within the development cycles of Huawei to release the source codes at a certain stage. Let's hope though, that they can release them soon.
It's annoying me that Huawei are still unable to respect the GPL by releasing kernel source on time whenever there has been a firmware update. It's even more annoying for my friends that work for Huawei in the UK who are pretty passionate about the devices and eager to help the community out but are sadly at the mercy of the Chinese office that are reluctant to provide any source. I really don't understand why they are being like this, since they have recently been supportive of Cyanogenmon on some devices as well as the Nexus 6P.
What possible reason could Huawei have for witholding the code for the Honor 7? I'm starting to wonder if Huawei have incorporated code into the kernel that isn't compatible with the GPL or is completely closed source.

Even then, they should have made an statement about it, but what would stop them to lie about it?
They could also broke some patents with the phone, so they are trying to cover it up by not releasing the code

Whole AOSP is under GPL so i think they should release it
I signed it too. Let us home Huawei will release the source code, but like flibblesan said, I have my doubts about a quick release

Thank you for your comment and for your supporting this topic.
As they had released the source codes for Honor 6, there is no reason for them to not share the codes of Honor 7. As @DigiGoon have stated, they replied to his tweet already and never denied the idea or his request.
It would be nice if anyone who is interested in having the source codes and supporting the developers who are willing to work on porting ROMs for this device to comment on that tweet, share it and like it. :laugh:

Yes, throw it everywhere so that more users will know about it, and new developers emerges out of somewhere, hopefully we will get the source code soon
sgned the petition...has huawei released source code for any other of their phones?
seen the answer to my question...doh!!

Thank you very much for doing that! :good:
Yes, Huawei supports the open source community. They had released most of their previous Android kernel source codes including Honor 6 in the past.
Hopefully it is just a matter of time before they release the codes of honor 7. We are very excited to start working on a ROM.
Signed from by side too but I don't have any hope of any release...

Thank you very much for your support! As they released the source codes of the previous model, there is no logical reason for them not to release them for this one.
They do respect the open source community and hopefully they will release soon.
Have faith and stay optimistic about it
I've bought this phone today, i really hope Huawei provide source code for Custom ROM.
And I've already signed the petition
Edit : Huawei doesn't provide any CPU source code, just EMUI source code...
I have visited the official Honor club forums, many people have been asking for kernel source. So i have a question, that is "can't the developers extract the kernel from the stock rom?
I believe there is a process for that too.
Hence they can get the kernel source and start the development.
Hope to see some oreo Leneage os or rr os development for this device soon.
This phone has no doubt one of the best configuration..
kernel source for honor 9i is available.

Thank you so much, brother.
I am not much good at building roms from source code.
but i will try my best.
Lets see what happens, meanwhile i hope some developers may work on this and give us some custom rom.

some developers already knew about the source code of honor 9i but as Huawei didn't release kernel source of honor 9i on Github but released as files so I think developers are not interested.

That's the problem they r not releasing the kernel source.
But i think i have found a kernel source for our device that is RNE- L22.
L give you the link please do check it out

Hello dear users, i asked Samsung Open Source Release Center for the Galaxy A51 source code and it have been released.
Here it is :

Sweet nice one [emoji16]

It's already released, but your link not working, simple search query works opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=a51
Being new in the Samsung world, what is exactly that source code?
