Hi everyone, I want to buy Moto Defy, but at some reasons (in our country we have no motorla phones), i can't it buy in our country. Also i heard about diffirence in Defys about Defy+ , and i want to buy Defy with red camera, and unlocked butloader(it would be good if it will ready for flashing roms).
So i need some help.
Used
Defy (prefer black color)
Red Camera
Unlocked bootloader
And ability to send it to my country (its not in Europe, its Azerbaijan(Near Russia))
So who can help me in this??
ps(sorry for my eng)
Sorry, but it isn't possible to get a defy with unlocked bootloader, because of motorola. We are locked to the motorola kernels, so it's a little tricky to flash other roms. You can only use the roms from this forum.

No unlocked bootloader doesn't exists. There is no reason to not want a defy+. It's only better. You can loot for them on ebay. Many do international shipping.
For the variations, you have no problem using a defy from an other country. You can always flash a rom witch have your frequencies or even use a simple app that changes the frequency to the one you want.
You do want to watch out for phones locked for a carrier althow I think they managed to get these to work on every network with CM7
Only chinese(maybe other asian countries) defy's are a bit different (not that much).

He asked for an unlocked buttloader red lensed Defy.
You can buy a Motorola Defy online at www.dealextreme.com.
Mmm guys when i asked about unlocked bootloader i mean roms flashing ability.
With online stores like ebay or dx, we have some problems. Thats why i wrote here, i mean on this part of forum many people who know this phone good, who live in EU.
So i just asked for "who can buy me a phone and send via post, ofcourse i will pay " , it would be great if somebody can do it for me. tnx
Hi guys.
I'm planning to get the G3 Stylus (the downgraded one from the original G3, correct?) , and I need someone to point out to me the OFFICIAL Cyanogen for G3 Stylus. Is there such a thing or do I just use the one for the original G3 (IF there is one)?
I can't find the official build for any G3 variants in the CM website, by the way.
Thank you for your time.

Go to Settings > About Phone > Model Name
Tell me what that says.
Edit:
Realized that you do not have the phone. I only wanted that to make it easier to search for.
Couldn't find anything on the cyanogenmod website or anywhere else really, but I'll keep my eyes peeled.
Thanks Struthers , my brother is suggesting the original G3, the pricier one. It's specs are better, correct? If money is no object, would you recommend it over G3 Stylus?
My brother's contract with the telecom company entitles him to
1. A FREE G3 Stylus or
2. The original G3 (which you are currently using, right?) at HALF the price.
If you were me, which would you choose among the two?
I was considering getting an H815 for use on AT&T instead of the new Moto. It appears that you can easily unlock the bootloader. It currently costs less than $450 on Amazon for a 32G leather version. It has an SD card, replaceable battery, great camera, and a good SOC (that does not have issues like the 810). So, why are there so few roms for it? I won't buy a phone unless it is first well-supported on XDA.

H815 will not work with VZ. You have to buy the VZ variant so no unlocked bootloader but can be rooted.

I also do not understand what this means. Are you saying that only OPEN EUR versions can unlock the bootloader and flash roms, and that so few people own them that no one has bothered to create a custom rom for the phone?

Almost all European h815 can get unlocked. H815 without European imei wont work.

As for ROMs, I have been noticing that for a few years on a lot of phones. If you want ROM's, you really need to stock with Nexus devices these days.
I have bought a G4 and luckily mine could be rooted. But yes, there are very few roms available and as a former Samsung user I must say I'm very disappointed with the help you get on the forums. Most queries aren't answered. If I were you I'd stick to HTC.
@phoneturf the h811 is the most prevalent version. I wouldnt get the 815.

Here it is a month later and the support for none of the G4 variants appears to have changed. There are a couple of stock roms for the T-mobile version, but doing a little reading I cannot even tell if there's a working TWRP or CWM for it. I decided to check back with the G4 since now I am instead considering a V10, although I suppose now I won't really consider that one either - I really wanted a replaceable battery and SD card.. If they sold one with an unlockable bootloader for all carriers, like Nexus, Moto, or OnePlus, I assume there would be much more support.
I bought a used G4 815 on Ebay, before I know that only the EU version could be opened (will see what's arriving in a day or two )
Is there any work being done on an Unofficial bootloader unlock?
I saw that the G3 does have allot of roms, did that phone was in the same situation as the G4 at it's beginning?

The G3 was originally in the same boat as the G4 as well in the beginning. That's why everyone is saying stfu and wait. A lot of folks just look at Nexus and other easy unlocks then expect everything to come into their laps within seconds.
And there is an unofficial bootloader unlock in the works. BUT it appears it only works if you haven't taken an OTA update before. All in good time my friend.

I am looking at the Blackberry Priv over the v10.
Take a look, it may do what you need it to and have some extra features added in as a bonus.
Only problem is I do not know what the dev community will be like for this phone.

Well it came in, it's H81510b-TWN-XX :crying:
In the hidden menu I don't see any "roolback" value, so does this says something?
Does using the "low effort root" / installing 11a or 12a will make the roolback value go to 1/2?

Great, helpful comment.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Huawei G8 is sold since 2nd half of 2015, but still no comments her on xda? Is there nobody who owns this smartphone?
I think that now that the GX8 is officially out in the US, it'll be more popular around here.
I have a test unit I received from Huawei a few months ago and now that they're allowing us to keep these units I was wondering if I could get rid of all the extra software they added to it (log collector, surveys, etc) and gift it to someone.
But g8 and gx8 are the same device. Huawei only changed the name. In germany it is the same, don't know if this is like this everywhere in the world.
But there is no extra forum for gx8?
Only one difference exist. Rio-L01 is dual-sim and Rio-L11 is only one simcard. But i don't know where to buy the L11 Version... Germany is called G8 (Rio-L01)
Hopefuly this device gets more love from devs ... My last LG g flex gets nothing. only root and twrp... ... finger crossed
I've already found root for g8 in a German forum, but i would like to see cm or another custom Rom too.
I want to buy a g8, but i think, i will wait some time and watch the forum it there is any development. Smartphone without it is not what i want to have. If Samsung wouldn't habe all this SH*T with Knox and so on i would buy it, there is much more development.

Hi! Can you please link me the website for root? I've been trying to find one but couldn't. This would help me a lot. Thank you!
Here it is: http://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/huawei-gx8-g8-forum.2425/
I have also a huawei g8 (german Version) with dual sim
Mine model written on the box says it's a Huawei G7 Plus. RIO-L01 in the "about phone". I live in Cambodia.
Hi, I have a G8 too, the dual Sim version.
G8, Gx8,G7plus....they are all the same I think. Can´t find no changes in the tech.specs
I have a G8 single SIM too, and I am found some official firmware, I think I'm going to open a thread for it
I have to decide if i will buy a 5,5 model like g8 or a 5,2 model like honor 7 or p8. Is there much difference if you put it in your bag of the trousers?

Hi,
I have the G8 since November, but actually I left XDA some time because there wasn't a forum for the device, but I will be more active here since we have the proper forum right now.

Yes, they are exactly the same phone, but different name according to the region: G8 for Europe, GX8 for America and G7 Plus for Asia.

I can tell you that the 5.5" screen on this device feels really nice, actually it has a nice ratio and it perfectly fix on the pockets of any pants I use.
:fingers-crossed:
And there is no need for another smartphone with faster CPU? Built in CPU is fast enough?
Can you tell me, which colour is called "mystic chamapgne"? Is this the gold or the silver one?
I want to have the gold version with both sides gold. The silver version is only silver on the backside? Frontside is white? On some internetshops there are picture of golden smartphone and in the description you can read mystic champagne?

For me and the tasks I make, CPU is perfect, I'm a normal user and I tend not to perform tasks that stress the phone, even when I'm a software developer and all my life I have bought Nexus line.
Mystic Champagne is actually the colour I have, it is white on the front and silver in the black, is really nice colour, I liked it a lot. I don't know why is called like this, but this is the colour that comes in the box, which I got kind of scared when I saw it because I didn't want the gold one, so be careful with this.
:fingers-crossed:
Did you see this guys? Is this true or fake? and if it is true, what's that Aosp or cm13?
http://android-xda.net/tutorial/upgrade-update-huawei-g8/
I wish it to be true. The download links are survey-locked and look really fishy. Most likely fake
Haven't tried but would love a marshmallow rom and if its aosp, the better. I hate this emui rom ><
Can someone tell me how to root our phone. I looked at german forum but i dont understand anything

Dear everybody,
Currently I am using a LG G5 (H850 EU) which is really great for root. Unfortunately due to a display issue and lack of good quality spare parts on the worldwide online market I am looking for a new phone. Important to me among others:
- Easy to root
- Ultra-wide cam
- MicroSD Card
That's why I am considering the LG G7 ThinQ. However, it seems quite a big hassle to get root on the LG G7 ThinQ when I read the forums here at XDA. Furthermore, J0SH1X announced to stop developing TWRP for LG G7 (here). This leads me to the question if the G7 is still worth buying if root is important? My fear is Android 9, which could be problematic without any new TWRP.
Would it better buying a V30 which looks also great instead of the G7? What are your thoughts?
Thank you for any advise.
Best wishes,
Alex

It depends on what model is it? Look for the European model (lmg710ea) because thats the only one that can be unlocked rn (eaw and others have locked bootloaders). And j0sh1x actually didnt quit. He got Android Pie working on the g7 and we got resistant twrp too.

In my opinion the G7 is working very well.
Rooting is relatively easy for the EU model (see the dedicated thread).
I am missing a bit the TWRP for the stock firmware (that is more than enough for me) and I fear we will not get it soon if ever.
