[Q] Need help converting to stock

I'm going to sell my S3 for $300, it's completely new, been in a case from the moment its been bought. So i want to sell it as if I just bough it from AT&T. I'm running CyanogenMod 10 and have CWM as a root. I'm not sure whether or not it's been rooted would mind if it was rooted or not, so should I unroot it? And apparently everyone wants their phone unlocked, so should i do that too? And lastly, i tried to make a recovery before, idk if i did, but i want all the memory wiped..as if brand new.

Are the N930FD battery issues-free?

Today I ordered N930FD and it will come tomorrow.
Are the duos phones with no battery issues or they are also prone to blowing up.
I suppose that this phone might come from a new batch and it will be good, but will the IMEI checking websites show me if there is an issue?

Where did u order your FD from? I returned my previous FD back to the eBay seller due to recall. I really want to buy another FD without the battery issue.

I like to think my battery battery is safe. I've not run into any problems since August 15th when I received the device. I don't plan on exchanging it either until I see the slightest hiccup if any kind. Goes to show how good the FD version is.

ANY device may have an affected batt, go safe, exchange

I ordered it from a local store and canceled the order because I checked the IMEI before purchase and it was from the affected ones :/

You won't see any "hiccups". Having your Note 7 run hot isn't a sign the battery may be bad, nor is battery drain (Unless it's draining at like 1%/Minute or something).
As soon as the battery develops an internal short through the separator (if that truly is the issue) it'll rapidly heat, develop more shorts and catch fire internally. Despite what I keep reading there's not going to be any signs, the batteries aren't overheating at all, and they can operate normally up to like 50*c or something. They will overheat once they've caught fire though. So suck it up and go and replace it. You cannot know if yours is bad.

I just found this online shop in SG selling the new batch for less than 800 USD. I am going to order soon

Is there any customs fee when we order from outside the US?

I never got charged any duties or taxes for all the phones I purchased from overseas. This is for personal use not commercial unless u buy bulk then CBP might hit u with duty/tax.
I just bought the phone from them, came out to $764. Can't beat that

LOL... I wouldn't say "anything"... And believing nothing would make me ignorant. Sort of like those who believe that Samsung is omni-potent.

Tried to place an order and strangely got declined even though it's one of the accepted card...Oh well, will try another card later.

need help choosing please

I currently have the mate 20 pro and it has the green screen issue. So... Sadly I'm sending it back, I was going to swap it for another though amazon advised me not to. They also refunded the accessories I purchased which supprised me. I now don't know whether to try to import a mate 20 X or settle for the 6t. I would be grateful if anyone with the 20x could help me decide and answer a few questions?
I haven't seen any threads about it. But has anyone had any issues with the screen?
I've read some people have had problems with the Chinese version, when looking at adverts how do I make sure the phone I'm buying is the international version? Most don't say they just give the model number.
Is there an 8gb/256 version of the international model? Does enyone have an ebay link for where I could get it sent to the UK?
Does anyone have any reasons why I shouldn't consider getting this phone?
Thanks for your help.

I don't have the phone (at least yet) but i'm following closely all threads because i'm very interested too and i never see anyone complaining about the gluegate, even a reviewer frankytech thinks its only targeting pro series because of the curved screen.
If you want to buy international version you need to check if the model is named EVR-L29, china model is AL00. There's no international model atm in 256/8GB variant. About sellers to the international, there's splendor, wonda, funkyhuawei, expansys and ebay. Probably more but i forgot.

Would you recommend the Chinese model?
Is it easy to add the play store? Are there any issues with Google services? e.g. Google pay? As I use that a lot.
I bought an xaomi tablet and that took a lot of effort to get Google app store and services working properly.
Also I was wondering does face unlock work OK on this phone? I know it doesn't have the 3d scanner.

I came from a OnePlus 6. Definitely get the 20 X if you like large screen phones. The X uses a Samsung AMOLED panel and is free of defects. I would buy the Global version if root isn't important to you. If it is then buy the Chinese version. I bought the Global version and have no issues with it. The 6gb/128 Global version is plenty fast. You won't see any difference between the 6gb and 8gb versions as far as speed or apps in memory goes, it's all pretty much a gimmick unless you're buying the 256gb/8gb version just for the storage size.

The storage was the main reason I ended up going for the Chinese version.
I'm worried about Google pay not working on Chinese phones but I'm hoping the rest will end up working OK.
Hopefully someone will work out how to rebrand it so I can have the best of both worlds.

Please let me know how it works out, the 20X is my next phone just trying to decide which one I want. The China version is like $200 cheaper than the International one or the same price for the 8 gig versus the 6gig international version.

I have the China 8/256 version. And although I was worried about getting it once I changed the language, keyboard, got Google play to work it's a great phone.. my wife is laughing at me saying it's too big but personally I love it. It's fast and smooth and the screen is amazing.

I've not tried Google pay yet. I was able to add my credit card but not my bank card strangely. I will try Google pay tomorrow and let you know.

M Pen for AL00 CN version?

I've taken the plunge and ordered the CN version. When shopping for an M pen I came across a couple of sellers with pens that they say are only for the Chinese version.
Is this true? Do I need a different M pen just because it's the Chinese version and not international?
Thanks
Joe

According to the customer q&a section in this Amazon listing https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-M-Pen-Mate-EVR-AL00-Gray/dp/B07KBF9Q61 even though some pens are advertised to "only" work with the Chinese EVR-AL00 version, ppl have responded that it works with global EVR-L29 too

Thanks for this clarification. Much appreciated.

the pen works for the mate 20x in general so the version doesnt matter
where did you order your phone from and how much did it cost you ?

Best price was around 617 GBP and is allegedly from Switzerland. God knows really but its a seller with good rep.

well yes at least to me, open box means someone opened it and then i cant be sure if its completely new or user return or sth but factory sealed means you are the first hand to open it since you pay alot of money for it lol
sadly enough, wondamobile and tradingshenzen both open the boxes and when i asked the later for a sealed factory they said we wont give you warranty then

I've only read them opening the boxes to put Google play on it. Which I can understand as it's beyond the skillz of most users to get the 3 apks on and working. But yes I see what you mean. I guess you could tell.be looking at battery charge cycles and stuff as to whether it had been used previously.

i wasnt aware of that but good to know and as you can see its best to be the first to open sth you spend lots of money on

I got my AL00 yesterday. It was an unopened box. Lots of Chinese stuff but enough things in English to let me get started.
I added Google Play after some searching around on how to do it. Hopefully all sorted now.
And a pen that was stated to be for the international version works fine with the Chinese one.

which units are MTCD? where to buy?

hi guys, I know this is a general questions but does anyone have any place where I can make sure I get a MTCD unit somewhere?
do we know which stores/brands to look for or is it all just a guessing game?

Find on the web unit that you like and ask seller for details. Stress in the communication with seller that you will not accept any other MCU. Tell them you want MTCD/ MTCE

Android AutoShop seems to be endorsed by Hal9k.
When checking sellers look at their rating. Less than 99% positive feedback is no good. Except AliExpress. There are no sellers with 99% positive feedback. At least I have not seen one.
