I'm not sure about hardware part but my phone is also e975k but I can use e975 kdz/rom without problem. Phones spec also the same. All I notice what is difference is GSM band support in those 2 models. IMO, it only have software difference. But to make sure, you can ask LG service center for confirmation. You can also read more info about G variant in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334023
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?

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
Wysłane z mojego HUAWEI RIO-L01 przy użyciu Tapatalka
I am on AT&T USA and interested in purchasing either a new G4 from them for $383 (after taxes) or a G5 from Craiglist (good source) for $400 and unlocking for $30 more, so about $430 or a $50 difference. I guess the smart answer would be to go with the G5, but I really dislike the looks, reviews have been pretty iffy and really like the G4 looks with the leather covers.
Would you please help me decide one way or the other? I also just learned the U.S. G4's have an unlockable bootloader, so no way to root or install custom ROM's. That's definitely a downfall for me. How about the G5? Did I mention I think it's very ugly? LOL
Thank you in advance.
G5 imo
Pay the extra $50
Depends on following:
• EU Model: Yes / No: If "No", go for Nexus. If "Yes", continue reading.
• I want official & almost stable ROMs: If "Yes", go for G4. If "I can wait": Go for G5.
Taking in consideration the G4 bootloop fiasco I would not go G4. It does not guarantee that G5 does not have any other problems, but at least you do not have the obvious one.

hahaha That was funny. Yes, I would be getting the H815 EMEA model so that I can unlock bootloader and root. And I am after the best camera on a phone for under $500, so both G4 and G5 would come before the Nexus 6P.

You are probably talking about the eBay deal that came out yesterday. I looked at it, but it's the US991 U.S. Cellular model. I want the EMEA model (read above).
Thank you all for your responses!
The G4 is a year old now and what does it for me is the 808 chipset. I think the extra 50$ isn't too much for a newer and better phone. If there was a huge price difference then I'd say the G4
