HMD Fusion (nighthawk)

Hello,

I would like to know if it could be possible to add the compatibility with the HMD Fusion, as the bootloader is now unlockable since the last year.

Regards.

I do not see a device specific build, but at least the nighthawk got an entry at TrebleExperimentation (but no dedicated page). You can use the procedure from any recent A/B+arm64 entry there (blue link, 2022+ entry).

With the instructions would go the newest unofficial GSI download in the tag link.

(There’s an earlier nighthawk thread just for crossref - nothing new there)

The HMD Fusion (nighthawk) is my main phone, so I need stability. I prefer to avoid unofficial GSIs due to potential issues.

I am new to open-source mobile OS communities and unsure how to request official support beyond the forum. Thank you for your answers and guidance. I understand the process and will wait for further updates.

it being a qualcomm SoC and a bootloader unlock method available, I think eventually there is going to be a device port, but nothing yet on xda or github (but a recovery guide). You need to wait some more.

(Imo GSIs are still too overlooked, they’re not less stable inherently, just a chance some subsystem not working. Ofc if the latter is critical - ims/volte or similar - it’s a dealbreaker)

Thanks for the hope! With the coming control of the APK files by Google, I definitely want to keep my OS free. Even if it’s a cheap phone, I like the HMD Fusion, as you can repair it by yourself. Whatever, I’ll follow the news about it.

Well I was doing some late night digging on Github and trying to search if anyone has gotten a custom rom working on the Fusion again AND I think I might have found the kernel finally!

Most recent activity and another one with from what I can tell from seeing other kernels on Github/Gitlab etc. could be the real deal. The device did just get a security update from HMD in January.

Build is now 00WW_2_830_SP01 and the Security Update is from 1-5-26
