Galaxy Nexus Came rooted???

Hey,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus here in Vietnam and just realized that it is running a custom rom and has been rooted. The phone was new (no scratches and had the original plastic covering the screen)... My friends here tell me that iPhones are often sold jailbroken so I was wondering if this is normal here??? English is a major challenge so I'm not sure if I will be able to get more information from them...
Everything seems to be working totally fine... just curious.

Post a screen shot of settings/about phone. Do you have superuser apk installed?

Here you go...
Superuser is installed.

Not sure why the picture didn't work... here is a link.

In Vietnam beware of the originality of the phone. It's easy to reseal the phone/box/accessoires,etc.
Definitely they sold you an used item. Go back to the store to get a refund or exchange for real new one.
Hope it helps.

I agree, the OP got sold a used phone.

yeah, i was probably used, or possibly a refurbished phone.
i head of people getting a Certified like new replacement (refurbished) HTC thunderbolt that was rooted with a sense 3.5 ROM on it.
but the phone is def. not a NEW phone from samsung. also, being rooted, who knows what kind of tracking stuff could be on that phone. i would take it back and do the rooting process yourself just to make sure.

Eh, you could always just reflash the factory image instead. That'll pretty well get rid of anything that could be installed on the phone.
Or use fastboot -w to wipe it all and then reflash whatever you want to be on it.
Assuming all the hardware works, of course.

I suppose the OP is in Hanoi Vietnam.
Do you like the food ?

either you paid a very good price and the phone works perfectly, in this case just flash a full official image. You can find them on code.Google.com
Either you paid the full price for a new one or it doesn't work or look fine, in that case I would go back to the shop and ask for a real new one or a refund

Hey guys, edit your post so that the link to the pic is off of it. As stated, you can see his other pics through that link and I'm sure he doesn't want that.

Sorry I don't want to bother the OP's life. It' that because I'm from Hanoi too and I miss My hometown.

Thanks guys.... I'm going to head down there today and find out what they say. I'm hoping that they happened to get the extended battery in too!

the GSM extended battery was just now released in the UK so i doubt it will be in stores anywhere yet

Ahh... Well they are saying that there is no way it came rooted and I'm SOL. And this is Vietnam so there is really nothing I can do about it.... Bah. Its working well so I have no complaints really.
Thanks everyone for the input on this.

If the hardware is working fine then you can just unroot and flash back to stock and you'll be all good.

What is the store's name ? street ?

or, better yet. leave it rooted and install Adfree, Titanium Backup, RM, CWM, WiFi tether etc.... Unlock the bootloader right away while you're at it (since it'll do a wipe/reset) and then go flash some roms!

[Guide] Huawei Ascend Y300 Unlock & Root

Huawei Ascend Y300 Unlock & Root [How To / Tutorial]
This great little Android 4.1 smartphone has been released to the German market a week ago. At a price tag of merely 150,00 Euro, it's a steal.
But no fun without root, right ?
Now, Huawei locks and secures the bootloader, which makes flashing a custom recovery impossible without messing with the bootloader code itself.
Luckily, i found out that you can request a bootloader unlock-token on the Chinese Huawei website. After unlocking with
Code:
fastboot oem unlock XXX16-digits-codeXXX
we can flash a china-made (aka chinese-language only) ClockworkMod v6.1, that has been compiled for the Y300. After installing SuperSU from CMW, you GOT ROOT.
I have written an extensive dummy-style tutorial on my tumblr blog. Unfortunately, the forum wont let me post outside links. Please go to this URL:
huawei-y300.tumblr.com
Have fun!

is this working on Huawei Y300-0100 or U8833-1??? pls help me how to root my phone, thank you so much!

I'm going to buy this phone for my mother, it's good?
Good signal? for US$ 130 is kinda'right?

For you it would be around 190$ in comparison to 150€. 1€ equals 1,31$ at the moment.
The signal is way better than my SGS+ I used before I got my Y300. And I can recommend it to everyone who is not searching for something too expensive. It runs at an average speed and the OS is nearly up-to-date with 4.1.1. The only thing which is disturbing for me is the EmotionUI 1.0 which Huawei uses. But besides that it's perfect for that price! :victory:

Same goes here, this great handy appeared about a week ago in The Netherlands for only € 119,- it is truly a steal
And yeah, it's really need the rooting because of the whole bunch of bloatware which comes preinstalled and without
the root half of them are not possible to remove. So thank you very much for the solution! My code is on the way, at least i hope so
I hope it's going to have a section here on xda-developers, because there is a lot possibilites in this phone!

Yesterday my Galaxy note broke won't charge anymore.
So i bought this as a replacement till i find something better.
Works good, only gps is acting strange sometimes more then 100meters to the right or left.
but maybe an update wil fix it. was only happening this morning, this afternoon it worked great

There's plenty of gps fix or speedup topic here on xda
After rooting it's possible one of them is going to work

Today it was working just fine
Waiting for my unlock code, they send the email to another department.

There is a new rom posted in the huawei website:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDcxNDI=

There's no description about it, maybe just some small fixes.
If you try it, please share your opinion about it!

my version is: V100R001NLDC150B171
still waiting for mail, hope you didn't receive mine haha
BTW, my settings menu has changed, I now have to click more settings to get to the normal settings, but it never said it was updated.

Bought the phone 3 days ago. So far absolutely flawless performance unbelievable for that price....
Just the problem with the stock software that`s taking 3 out of the 4 GB internal storage... so should we expect more ROMs to come soon?

Can somebody please post some details for this new build? What has changed etc.. I was searching everywhere and could not find anything .. Thanks guys..

Can anyone ..pls post the screenies of the phone..means the phone image in hand...I am planning to buy this one..

Ever tried google? There is exactly what you are asking for
Got a reply from Huawei, but they totaly changed the imei and they couldn't give me an unlock code, does their translation system change the imei number? damn, now i have to mail them again and hope they reply the correct number now.
And since I'm not the first here I'm getting a bad feeling

Request for Unlocking bootloader Att note 8.0 i467

i would love to try out new roms and fully utilize my awesome i467 note 8.0
this locked bootloader sucks
im willing to even pay .
moderator if i posted in the wrong section , please remove.

There´s no need to unlock bootloader to try any ROM I think...
You just have to check if your Note 8 is the N5100, N5110 or N5120 version, that I think in your case is the N5120

I would pay too. A only partially functional 4.1.2 is not ideal. Screen lag is killing me.

Yes the i467 is a different variation, and I agree the screen lag really sucks. I wish someone could help us.... it would be a great xmas presant ; p aaaaaand id give you a night with my sexy korean gf

It's just rather strange and irritating that there is no support in here for the U.S. variant (SGH-i467). I bought mine from AT&T .. should have look on here first before getting it !!

Hello Possibly already have an idea how to unlock the bootloader?
Thanks

not sim unlock bootloader unlock 2 seperate things

Guys, sorry but we're all basically screwed on this one! Unlocking the bootloader on this device just isn't going to happen. Even if it did my some miracle, there's no one that wants to build a custom rom for it. There's barely anyone that wants to build a rom for the wifi version! This device never really just caught on in popularity like some others. My advice is to just take the bite like I did and get something else. I'm sure you could find someone out there that doesn't care about an unlocked bootloader that'll take it off your hands. It does suck but that's just the way it is.
Trust me, I learned the hard way too!!! If it helps I would recommend a Nexus 7 2013. It's not to expensive and there are tons of roms out there. Even if you don't root it or unlock it it's already updated to 4.4.2. Well, anyways, everyone have a Merry Christmas!!!!!

Hello guys, I made the mistake of buying the at&t version of the S 8.4 and would have like to either flash a light rom or at least debloat the thing but can't find anything here. Is that model persona non grata around these parts? Or am I missing something?

Not currently rootable, therefore no roms and no de-bloat.
Return and get International version.

That's what I did... international version was cheaper, has more functionality, and is nicely hackable. Only tiny downside is the slightly bronze color doesn't perfectly match the silver casing of the AT&T keyboard case I bought. Loving this thing though.

I believe SM-T705 does not work with Tmobile LTE.

Looking for a new phone is the lg g4 good ?

Hello guys i am currently using a Samsung S3 Neo and im looking to buy a new phone.So from reviews like Android authority it seemed very good,performance is great and the camera is amazing but i saw this problem with them called the ''bootloop'' so im wondering if I should buy it. Is the bootloop fixable or not existing anymore because i read that it was only in the models produced the first 2-3 months.

Isn't bootloop related with custom roms?

I have it like for 6 months now and zero problems.
I didn't even thought the problem you mentioned was hardware related hehehe
I really thought was custom Rom related.
To be honest I never was a really LG fan because in my country there's like only a few stores with LG accessories etc.
Like I said, for me phone is about camera quality and performance because I use phone as a work gadget.
So... My next one will LG5 if camera please me.
Good luck in your buy

G4 right know has unbelievable value for money!
It has great performance, amazing display, top-tier camera (especially if you learn how to use manual mode), 3000mAh battery and ample ROM support
Just be sure to get an H815 International model if you plan on rooting and doing custom ROM!

you can root locked bootloader only if on lollipop 5.1 and you can also have xposed....
if phone its on marshmallow you also need to know the antirollback version.. like you cant downgrade marshmallow V3 antiroll to Lolliop V2 itll brick phone..
am you must be aware that some devices have bootloop.. and the best thing is for you to have the closest country that has bootloader unlocked... for example. if you are in europe and have the h811 tmobile from usa.. if bootloop.. the phone must be sent to tmobile or to LG usa. unless the place you buy it gives you warranty.... so its best to have one for your country.. if from usa .. they wont fix it in wurope you must send phone to USA...
here is the list on the ones that can be unlock.

read before posting i said to him to get a bootloader unlockable h815 phone. and i stated that he can only root locked bootloader one if hes on LP. just in case he doesnt get one unlockable one. as he might have to send it back in case of bootloop.
