Ok sorry that my other post wasnt correctly done, so I will fix it here..
I have some questions about the M8...
How hard is the unlocking process and rooting the phone?
I know you cant compare Roms, can I ask if there is a good selection of them available for this phone?
Also I want to play netflix from my phone to my tv, movies and such. Does this phone work with ChromeCast? Or what ways can I connect it to my Samsung HDTV or Samsung Smart Bluray player?
Also is there any good cases like the OtterBox or Lifeproof for the M8? I need it for work, the better protection the better
thanks

1) Yes unlocking and rooting is very simple, it's all done with one application called Sunshine. All though it costs $25 it unlocks your phone & S-OFF's it. Rooting requires flashing a custom recovery and flashing the SuperSu zip file. Very simple. Also you can try using HTCDev which will work as long as you're not using the Verizon variant I believe.
2) will edit when I find out in a moment and or someone else will have to tell you. EDIT: Don't think so but might be wrong and theres probably other ways though
3) Yes there is an Otterbox, not sure about the other though.
Unlocking and rooting are easy but if you're not familiar with HTC phones do your reading first, people new to HTC sometimes get confused. There are lots of guides here to walk you through whatever you want to do.
For root you will need to unlock the bootloader (unless you've got a Developer Edition) so just follow one of the guides.
You don't need S-Off to root your phone. The free S-Off options don't work for newer M8s and I don't recommend paying for it if you don't know what you'd need it for; you can always do it later if you want to.
ROMs - just click the link on the M8 page and see what's on offer.
Chromecast works just fine - I use it for Netflix and YouTube with absolutely no problems. I hear that screen mirroring also works on some ROMs but it doesn't work on the one I use.
I have the M8 Otterbox, and it's a solid case. The only things I'm not thrilled about are the lack of protection for the power button* and the large (but necessary) openings for the speakers. Overall, it doesn't feel quite as sturdy as my Skyrocket Otterbox case, but so far it has done fine.
No clue on the other case, as I don't own it.
* Required for the IR blaster to work, but I'm still not comfy with it being exposed like that.

Sry, I'm not pretty sure what you really want, is it about space or speed or what?
But anyways what you want to do (data2sd, overclocking,...) you first need s-off by xtc-clip, after that you can root, change roms,... Look at the general section, there is a index sticky where all guides, roms,... are linked.

rather quick snarky reply but that is a good point, but i bought this phone so that i'd have an mp3 player, phoe and gaming device in one small toy so any i device would be useless to me

An iPhone would have the abilities you want too, but anyway Android rocks cause of the ability to mod the hell out of it, but also cause of this it's more an geek OS than ios.
An xtc-clip is a peace of hardware to unlock your bootloader, create a goldcard and remove simlock. You can get it at e-bay or you can go to a second hand seller that also does repairs (not all of them got one) to get it unlocked by them (I had to pay 20 euro for it).
I would recommend the unofficial cyanogen port, but it's a matter taste, cyanogen isn't that eyecandy and it's still beta yet, if you like sense, jikantaru xe would be the best choice I think.

For every custom rom you need an unlocked bootloader first. I have none, I unlocked mine at a second hand handy shop for 20 euro.
Hi guys, just few questions if possible.
I am with android for several years now and my latest android device was i337 SGS (ATT Branded) and we're having a lot of problems with bootloader not unlocked and stuff. Is there a such problems with this device or there is no locks of any kind, and in general I do understand this is pure google but can we expect CWM recovery and ROMs for this little guy ? I can't live without my CM on my android.
And in general people who have it anything you like and most importantly don't like so far ? I orfdered mine 32GB version should be here I guess on 30th a bit after.
Thanks all.
P.S.
Anyone know where to get a case and screen protector for it but not for $20 for a damn screen protector ? I looked up pictures it looks like you can't really use old screen protector for new device ..can you ?

Please remember that from now on (unless that changed and I didn't knew): nexus = no bootloader lock at all. The nexus line was always devices that google wanted to support development and therefore there are no locks. So far, there's already CWM and TWRP available (in one day ) Hmm as far as CM is concerned, it should come soon as they're merging to make cm10.2. As far as accessories are related, you may want to check the accessory section of the forum.
Hope this helps!

that's what's up !
I guess next thing to get for this baby is wireless charger. I work with phones all day and charging port is is always getting messed up in the phones and tablets so I guess it's good idea to have something that does not require to insert cable. I see any QI Certified product will do, anyone have advice on inexpensive but good quality one ?

Anyone?
Hi friend,
I'm in the same ditch as you are.
I don't trust those videos one bit.
I really love those Wiko Lenny 3 phones. They are cheap (40 dollars) and are really something nice. But I don't want to brick my phone just yet.
Is there a safe way to root these phones?
I'm actually surprised this hasn't come any further. The phone is pretty awesome for the price but the SIM lock is annoying as hell. Speaking about it, it actually has 2 SIM card slots which is pretty awesome.
I bought some nice games so far for my account and I love to use the device. But I wish I could root it and use the full potential of this device
Has anybody rooted this device successfully?
It's being sold in Switzerland in the post stores for CHF 40 / about 40 dollars with 2 years of SIM lock to Swisscom.
It's a great deal, but I wish I could **** up the SIM lock.
Any success stories and manuals would be highly appreciated!
Regards,
Pix

So I was digging around looking for a unlocked LG v35 on ebay and came across this ES version with Magisk already on it, and in one of the pics it shows it running 11i firmware if that helps. basically proving that it has full root access I just thought this may prove usefull for us trying to gain root to this great smart phone. i don't have the money to get this specific phone yet but, maybe one of you guys out there does. I'll post a link to the phone itself down below. There are some pics in the sellers post showing that the phone does have Magisk running on it. I'm msging him about where the phone came from and how exactly the phone ended up in his hands. Maybe some of you can reach out to him to. I don't know about you guys but, this seems like some of the best news yet on the LG v35. Being able to actually purchase this phone, i thought would help.

Seems tempting but price looks expensive.
I can make a discount on this phone.
Greetings,
I'm interested in buying this phone mostly because it seems to have a good camera on paper for my <20k INR budget and the UI is a personal favourite of mine, just below the OxygenOS.
I would love to hear your experience with the camera, if it supports the GCam mod properly, and does the chunky design of the phone really make you reconsider buying it?
I would also love to know if you've tried anything to make the hdr10 work outside the YouTube app.
Thank you
I intend to get one if its easy to root the phone. Is it possible?

Yeah, from what I gathered online, all moto phones have a very similar and simple way to root them.
I remember having to write a letter to Xiaomi on why I wanted to root my phone and wait a week just to have the ability to unlock the bootloader of my Redmi note 4 lol. Moto's method is definitely way easier than that.

would system be read/write though? I've been out of the loop for a while, is there any fix for it yet?
if you're purchasing now, then there's no ROMs, TWRP, or anything.. but u can easily unlock bootloader and use ADB coz its Stock Android.. so if you want custom ROMs.. now you can just wait.. (if any ROM developer sees this.. if u own a Moto G40F.. pls make ROMs for this device.. thanks)
Does this device have NFC? The information all over the internet is contradicting. Please confirm
