Real Stupid Question - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm a little confused on the model numbers, it seems there are multiple models of the h815. I have the h815t. This phone was bought off Newegg, unlocked. Is this the international version? I would like to unlock and root.
Thanks

presumably they are both for the 16gig model.
so what's the diff?
thx.

Anyway to tell if 5X is an import?

I bought one of Amazon, I have my suspicions it might be an import. Is there any way to tell?

Of course it's an import,it's not made in USA for sure.

unlock carrier lock?

I am using MetroPCS. I wonder if I can buy a carrier branded version and then unlock it to use.

But wouldn't it be easier to just get the unlock version?

Branded version is cheaper I think

Sometimes it is, but not always. Amazon has the G8 listed and every so often it's on sale, I picked mine up for $499, carrier lock free, and besides Alexa it doesn't have any carrier bloat except for the normal LG stuff (Amazon specific version, no Google assistant button)

Are all EVR-L29 dual sim?

Quick question, are they all dual sim or do some of the above models only come as single sim ?

Dual sim. You can substitute one sim however for expanded storage using Huawei's proprietary storage. I just use one or two sims in mine.

Thanks, how about in regards to the different region versions for this evr-l29. Will I still be able to get emergency messages like amber alerts and such using this model? I noticed a youtuber had those options when he was using his USA sim card in this device.

L29 is better because you can use google assistent and others stuffs, AL00 have differences to use assistent, localization with google maps not work good too. I can't tell you if you able to get emergengy messages, because i live in Brazil. So, better other help you with this. But i thinks, it's going to workg without problem. But confirm with someone that lives there

"All the different versions" ?
I know only 2 versions, a Hong Kong version and a Global version.
I have the 636 Hong Kong version, but for me it act like a international/global version.
Which version do u know more then those 2??

Also there is another post an xda member posted with pictures of his evr-l29 product label. The upc was 6901443278770.
The label didn't show as many lte bands as other evr-l29 models. Search my posts to find his post, as I replied to his post since no one had.

pre purchase question, need advice

Hello, I was browsing the ROMs section on XDA for the s 20 plus exynos that I want to purchase and I can see that there is only one custom rom available. Why is that?

Because the Snapdragon models are not able to have the bootloader unlocked so there's only the Exynos models.

I have no idea since I have a Snapdragon version and don't follow what ROMs are available.

To be honest...it baffles me a bit but it's not as urgent as it once was for custom ROMs. Plus the cameras are mostly an assache with Samsung's. A pure android ROM would speed through it on these phones but I can't see it happening if it hasn't already

Not so, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, South Korea and I think Latin America all offer Snapdragon variants with unlockable bootloaders.
