Hi,
well, its getting towards the the (semi) retirement of my (the one and only) HD2.
5 years was a pretty good investment and it still all works great.
but...
I am thinking that the M8 is really the only contender with the possibilities (wishful thinking) of multi boot and maybe even including windows phone 8.
the ideal phone will be the dual sim version for me but i can see all the good stuff going on for the M8 but will everything apply if i get the dual sim version?
what i mean is, are they exactly the same apart from the extra sim?
i dont want to get the dual sim then find out that i cannot take advantage of any of the development going on for the M8.
thanks.

hmm, ok, thanks for the heads up JellyTooth. that seemed to be the impressions i was getting from the posts here.
thats a shame that it is different as it really seems to be the ideal phone.
i suppose i could always just buy it anyway and then use it standard without rooting, flashing, customizing, and, and, and...
naw, forget that.
i am still undecided and less than 4 weeks to go before my birthday...

I bought it in Saudi one month ago, it works excellent. If you don't mind too much for the dev then get it. With root you can customize it with Xsense,Sense 6 and so on. Finally I find a dual sim phone for my needs.
Hi bro, I just have a question if you dont mind, can I root the dual sim M8 without loosing OTA official update, just rooting no recover no missing up the device
Well lets see here , regular sim doesnt get updates regularly like normal m8 ( from several sources including htc themselves ) , and no rom devolpment as the second post said
other than that the device is excelent and the best i've ever seen in handling 2 sims and the difference in the price isnt hight

yes, thats a good point. have you rooted yours?
ok, it looks like there is a twrp for M8 dual sim which means it can be rooted and i think that will be enough to keep me happy for now at least.
also i assume it is on the list of phones to get htc official android L so now i am talking myself back into this...
another question, can you disable either sim when its not required without taking it out?
Yes you can disable one sim from the setting without phisically removing it…

UPDATE: I decided to get the m8 dual sim today
I know if I bought the single sim version I will regret it later.
as all have said before, its sweeeet
fyi, I bought it in Carrefour in Abu Dhabi. they had a discount today as this weekend is Eid Al Adha holiday.
cost was 2249AED (about 610USD, 380GBP) and included a matching grey dot view case and 2 htc branded screen protectors (actually cost a bit less as i got points on the store card and air miles)
its the 16GB version but as i have a 64GB card to add in thats more than enough (for now...)
which i thought was a pretty good deal
(i know its only the first day but already i am missing root for titanium backup )

Hey guys,
I am going to ask the question in this thread because I don't know where else to go. I am a little lost as to where to place this question. Don't get mad. :cyclops:
I have a NOTE II (Samsung), however, my aunt went to a website called AhappyDeal and she bought a Note3, the phone is made in good quality and it has a responsive screen with nice resolution, dual sim card slots and all that. I would post a link except that I dont know if I can post links in this forum so I wont.
I put the phone on WIFI and have been using it as a tablet all day because when we insert the Tmobile Sim Card, it detects the network fine but
when you want to make a call, or send an sms or go data there is no network available.
I am not sure that the phone is unlocked correctly. I also, already went to Tmobile and called Tmobile they could not do anything about it. I am guessing the question is .... how do I unlock an unbranded phone? It is running Jelly Bean

First there is no note 3 yet. Also probably wrong place to ask because every phone is different. I would say to try the generic samsung dialer code the note 2 uses, but that appears to be running AOSP so probably won't work. You can post the link so post it so we can try to figure out what hot actually have.

I'd be very suspicious. The Chinese love putting Happy in the names of places, especially their restaurants. They also love to make similar items and sell them as the real thing. See small USB drives being sold as larger, but with firmware that reports the larger size.
Do they even make a dual sim Note 2? If so it's possible they either put Note 3 as a typo, to get more hits, whatever. My father in law is actually looking for a dual sim S3, but I dunno if they make them.

Ok i'm planning on getting a uk p2 with 3 and i need a few questions answered.
I would ask 3 support but you need to get a phone with them before you can ask for help.
1. Does it have warranty?
2.how long is the SoT?
3.does it come with a screen protector?
4.does it have earphones and if yes are they the rounded ones or the ergonomicish ones that samsung does
5.does it have nougat yet
6.Is it unlocked to all carriers
7.If yes can i use this sim:https://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/sim_only_deal/2d21367826963ec7f658f28505a6bf6e243c9616?comparison=c3Q9c3RhbmRhcmQmcz1tb250aGx5LWNvc3QmcD0vbW9iaWxlcy9jb21wYXJlL3NpbV9vbmx5X2RlYWxzLyZwbz0z
8.what would you say are better value the note 4 or p2, I found them for the same price £200 not sure which one to get.
Thank you very much for help it's very appreciated
Of course it has warranty. I believe 1 year.
SOT varies. There is another thread with everyone's SOT.
No screen protector.
No earphones.
No official OTA for nougat but you can install the official Lenovo one.
Yes it's completely unlocked to all carriers.
I almost went for a Note 4 (had a Note 3) but the much bigger battery and better fingerprint scanner tipped the balance for me.

Yes this really has me annoyed as the note 4 has s-pen, q-hd,and more features but the p2 has newer Soc, more battery, nougat,more fluid performance.
Hmmm... I'll have to go with the p2 as the only con of it is the average camera
Don't forget the P2 also has 4GB ram Vs 3GB in the Note 3/4.
The camera actually with normal day to use is pretty good. Was at a garden party yesterday and managed to get some really nice pictures. It's no worse than my Note 3 but no better.
If I want really high quality pictures I take my DSLR out with me!
On three website it says headphones included. But you Guys are saying it doesn't.
Also my dad has a three phone how do I get the phone without top up just show that I have a three phone. Thanx for help guys
Mine definitely didn't have any headphones.
I also have a SIM only plan with three and didn't have to buy a topup. Just provided my details and ID and they discounted it off.

Wow noob mistake i thought handset means headphone
Has anyone actually managed to order the phone from Three for pay as you go? I've tried over 20 times but it just fails at the payment screen used my partner's card too and the same thing happens.
Why would you do that when you can buy direct from razor? Though admittedly right now all you can do is sign up for a notification email.
I successfully pay for the pre-order of the phone in 3‘s website, so I think there is no problem with the website. Maybe you should use another devices to finish the payment.

Tried that still won't go through
I had exactly the same problem as you, tried around 30 times with different cards, addresses, people.
Eventually got a buddy to try for me with all his details and it went through fine. Pain in the ass, three don't let you pay that much over the phone too so no point in you trying to contact their customer services.
In store they are only taking pre-orders for people doing contracts so a waste of time there too.
Get someone else to try.
Is the phone on display yet on Three to view? also will there be roms on this device? as really thinking of selling the op5 to buy this.

My local store didn't have it on display but when asked they had one behind the counter and I had a go on that for around 15 mins. I personally love it.
I have just spoken to the customer service and they said that the reason for not going through is that anything pay as you go has to be under £100. Sounds ridiculous to be honest.

Yeah I know but after all the **** I've been through with Three I don't want anything on my device at all. God knows when Razer will put up factory images.
Just wondering if the bootloader is unlockable if you had a OnePlus 5T from O2 UK? Considering buying the 6 through them if they make it available, but I've had 2 Sony phones from them that had "bootloader unlock allowed : no" which meant no way to root them at all, ever.
Also any bloatware installed? Like tether entitlement check or O2 splash screen at boot?
I bought mine from O2 and it's all good. Only Sony devices have that bastardized bootloader BS that has that "rooting status not allowed" set to false when you buy from carriers. Other OEMs should be fine, just stay away from Sony if you're planning on getting the device on a monthly contract and want to modify it
OnePlus devices do not have bloatware nor carrier-specific firmware.

O2 OP5Ts are completely stock totally 100% unlocked to any SIM, absolutely able to root/unlock bootloader and priced the same as from OP. Only thing is that O2 force you to buy a £15 topup if buying off contact.
Thanks for your replies, that's good to know! I'm gonna call them and see if I can thrash out a deal.
Work for O2 Franchise, Oneplus 5T & 6 both unlocked and with extra software on it.

I work for an O2 Franchise and most of the store's don't have the Oneplus 5T in stock anymore. Might find the ocassional one left over that hasn't been sold. The Oneplus 6 will be available to buy on pay as you go as of Tuesday 22nd of May at any O2 Shop.
The price difference is very little so I would honestly recommend to get a Oneplus 6 if your going to be buying one now since the price is almost the same in the UK at o2 between the Oneplus 5T and the Oneplus 6. I can confirm they are unlocked out of the box, have absolutely no software/firmware or apps pre-installed other than the stock oxygen os one's you get installed by oneplus themselves. I got a Oneplus 5T from O2 and have a unlocked bootloader and root too so that shouldn't be a problem either.

I have the 5T I got it directly from OnePlus, I'm thinking of upgrading to the 6, but wondering if I should wait for the 6T.
Hello there. I'm having a problem. I have a OnePlus 5T from O2 UK. The bootloader is unlocked, but earlier last week I tried flashing an update with TWRP. Unfortunately, it went a little wrong and I ended up wiping data with TWRP commands. Now, my sdcard (Internal storage) just has files with random letters and numbers, no more of the usual folders with files. I now have a partually bricked device, meaning that bootloader and TWRP would work, but I can't really flash anything because of my sdcard issue! I've also tried ADB sideload with no luck. Can someone please kindly tell me how to fix the sdcard problem, if there even is a way of fixing it? Please describe the process with command line if possible, as I can't use graphical interfaces due to me being blind.
Many thanks for the help, it'll be nice to get some use out of my OnePlus 5T once again.
Tobias
PS, I ended up wiping system, dalvik and cache too so I could do a clean flash.

I can confirm you can unlock the bootloader on oneplus 5T

There were communications sent out to stores that while current prices are about roughly £30 more than buying from oneplus directly however they will actually be adjusted at some point tomorrow to be the same as buying the phone from Oneplus website directly. However if you buy from O2 on pay as you go, they do require a £10 or £15 top up to be taken with the phone, this can not be avoided or cancelled off the till unless your an pay as you go customer already then the store advisors can do something called a pay as you go UPGRADE which bypasses the top up requirement.
I personally originally got a Oneplus 3 (NOT 3T) from Oneplus.net and this was before O2 and Oneplus even decided to make a exclusive UK partnership and now have the 5T from o2, I will in future including the Oneplus 6 always end up getting them from O2 Directly because that mean's if I have any hardware issues I can send the phone away to an O2 UK Repair centre and get it fixed free within 5 working days. With Oneplus you have to send your phone to them and their nearest repair centre seem's to be in Poland I believe and will most likely take alot longer than 5 working days to resolve but more importantly while I love and am a fan of Oneplus Phones ,as a brand I think they don't have the highest best reputation when it comes to handling customer service, repairs and order queries. I have heard some crazy horror stories out there with that I would just avoid if I had the option. If the option wasn't available then it is what it is. But since the option of avoiding going through Oneplus Customer Service is present I'll take it.
For specific detailed pricing information check the official website;

(Please bare in mind any and all info I am writing here is my own personal opinion and does not reflect the O2 as a whole.) Gotta be careful in case someone takes what you say out of context or assumes your speaking on behalf of your employer even though your just stating your own opinion and sharing information that you are aware of.

Hello there. I'm having a problem. I have a OnePlus 5T from O2 UK. The bootloader is unlocked, but earlier last week I tried flashing an update with TWRP. Unfortunately, it went a little wrong and I ended up wiping data with TWRP commands. Now, my sdcard (Internal storage) just has files with random letters and numbers, no more of the usual folders with files. I now have a partually bricked device, meaning that bootloader and TWRP would work, but I can't really flash anything because of my sdcard issue! I've also tried ADB sideload with no luck. Can someone please kindly tell me how to fix the sdcard problem, if there even is a way of fixing it? Please describe the process with command line if possible, as I can't use graphical interfaces due to me being blind.
Many thanks for the help, it'll be nice to get some use out of my OnePlus 5T once again.
Tobias
PS, I ended up wiping system, dalvik and cache too so I could do a clean flash.

If all else fails than this is a life saver (phone saver), but please read everything on the instructions how to use that tool, its only a less than 10 minutes procedure and the phone comes back to life, hope this helps, cheers.
Um, thanks, but what is this phone saving tool called? Can I have a link to it and maybe how to use it? It would be very nice to get my phone back in properly working order. It's currently stuck on just a sec... Also, is there a way of making my SD card show proper files, IE, wiping data again or mounting the sd card as read/write?
Thanks for the help

sorry but oneplus 5t doesn't take an external sd card? have you actually got a oneplus 5t or some other phone?, please don't flash anything if you don't have a oneplus 5t, cheers
Yo.
Sorry about that. About the SD card thing, I mean internal storage, it's just that ADB and my root browsers call it sd card.
hope that tells you more
And thanks a lot for the link! I can't wait!

Just wondering if the bootloader is unlockable if you had a OnePlus 5T from O2 UK? Considering buying the 6 through them if they make it available, but I've had 2 Sony phones from them that had "bootloader unlock allowed : no" which meant no way to root them at all, ever.
Also any bloatware installed? Like tether entitlement check or O2 splash screen at boot?

My O2 op5t has no O2 bloat or apps . You wouldn't know it was from O2 as there is nothing to suggest it
I currently have boost mobile and I'm wanting to switch carriers but boost is refusing to unlock my sim card. They say I don't meet the requirements yet I bought this phone from them and have had service on it for well over a year. Their excuse is that since I changed my phone number, it hasn't been a year. I saw a few websites offering to unlock it but I need to know a reputable one. Android sim unlock dot com has one of the lowest prices. Any input would be great. TIA.
this reply will likely get deleted, but www.idoneapps.com is 100% legit. ive unlocked 4 phones thru them. NoDial is the mod over there and he is as legit as they come. They also have a smaller forum over there too and are quite helpful

Hi Youdoofus,
Yes, we're still around, but we still haven't beaten the new Sprint unlock method, that's why our site hasn't been updated with the latest models yet

no idea man. motos always have been a headache for me. best thing to do is find a paid unlock site and pay for it with a CC so you can dispute the charge if they stiff ya. sim unlocks are rarely free and its usually when an employee goes rogue just before they quit/get fired LOL im betting that these unlocks are done by employees with a side hustle
