Also known as Mate 10, Huawei Mate 10
A free replacement firmware exists.
Huawei Mate 10 (Kirin 970, 2017). It shipped with Project Treble, so once the bootloader is unlocked it runs generic system images (GSIs): Android 9 GSIs work well on an EMUI 9 base, newer ones lose the camera and mobile data. The hard part is the unlock: Huawei stopped issuing codes in 2018 and there is no free, open-source unlock for the Kirin 970.
