Honor 8 Pro Stock Firmware

I have these questions:
i. Why is the Honor 8 pro ROM development stalled?
ii. Any one has H8 Pro India variant (DUK-L09C675B140) stock firmware?

In this period development usually slows down and stops until the custom Roms are upgraded to latest base.
Stock firmware isn't available.

Even the service center don't have Indian firmware! My device is sitting in service center for repair from last 1 month. I will not even suggest anyone to buy any scrap from honor again!

Stock firmware isn't available for now or it will never be available. What if I root my phone and then want the warranty back?

Similar things are said about all Chinese company. Even Redmi, Xiaomi experience is similar with users as they didn't have the part here in India and ask to wait to 15-20 days or a a month also.

Finally!

So finally got the device back in my hand after 1 month and 5 days. They have replaced motherboard for some silly software issue and took this long. Phone is amazing no question on that but i will suggest everyone to not play with it so much that you have to give it to service center.

Service centre is just waste of time and money. Apart from Samsung i have not seen others doing well here. Samsung does replacement very quick as parts are ready most of the time or max a week.
Apple is better too users dont need to visit as cost of parts are higher than phone itself (original screen for 5s cost 12k but phone is of 14-16k depending on the discount) so users visit electronic market likes gaffar market, chor bazar etc ans get it done with duplicate screen in 2k.
All other service centres are just a trouble for us.

I'm slightly better than your case (21 days). Replace motherboard, display,front cover,back cover, and 1 piece of Huawei crappy tempered glass. Basically it's like changing a brand new device.

Oneplus 5t lava red

Hey guys, i know the lava red edition is only available in china soon.
Do you think there is any chance we can get this edition in europe?
I thought, maybe ordering it through vpn??
Also im interested when this edition will be released.
Any help would be appreciated

I'm sure you'd be able to see the red OnePlus with a vpn but I don't think you'll be able to ship it out to where you actually are. I could be wrong though

Living in China, I ordered mine this sunday.
Do you think it's exactly the same build than the normal 5t?
I mean, can I install the O2 OS of the normal 5t version in it?

Since it's a limited edition, I think yes.
When ? I don't know
And maybe they willl realeased in Global if people complain a lots
How I can see the build number? To check if I can use the same Rom as the normal 5t?

How you can see your build number: go to settings - scroll down to about phone - the build number should be written there. But i think it doesnt matter. You can in install every custom rom also on the red model because you have the same hardware

Oneplus 5t lava red received !
The package is exactly the same as the normale 5t. Even the quick guide is the global one with many different languages.
I just downloaded the global Rom and it works
This phone is very gorgeous btw

Do you know if I can buy this version also in stores in china or only online? I go next week to Guangzhou and Shenzen and would love to buy it.

I am not sure, but maybe you can still buy it in the offcial site;
If not, maybe in jd.com but it will be a little be more expensive

Another question. If im able to order the red model, do you think warranty is the same although i live in germany where you only get the black models? Do you see any difference on your warranty paper inside your oneplus package?

Will you use a VPN for your shipment address too? I don't think that will work. Still in Europe you will have 2 years warranty if it has CE (i doubt china versions has it)

Two years ago, I did buy a Mate 8 in China. But Huawei Switzerland told me, they can not offer waranty for this device, because I did buy it in China and not in Switzerland. Therefore it would be interessting to know how Oneplus is handling waranty with devices which are bought outside of your home country.

I had to contact oneplus live support. They told me what i expected.. No warranty on red 5t in other countries than china.

I got a red DBrand skin for my 5T and it looks sweet!

When i order oneplus devices from amazon or somewhere else, do i have 2 years warranty although i didnt order it from the official oneplus site?

i just got my 5T lava red yesterday, i bought it from reseller in my country. now it's already rooted and customized. every custom rom is working fine, i think the only difference is just the color and factory rom u got. i personally think this color is totally gorgeous. maybe the best smartphone color i've ever seen!!! well, i just hope the next oneplus lava red would have grey/titanium accent button

I got my lava red op5t today and I'm in the u.s using it on TMobile and everything is working smooth, I don't even wanna use my note 8 no more lol

I strongly recommend the purchase of the Redmi Note 5 China version or Global version because it is better in photo and other areas (better 4G coverage,...).
It is not so sure that Xiaomi will solve this problem in the nearest future

Estimates on how long until the global ROM arrives?

I'm planning on buying this phone but I'm unsure if I should buy now and flash later, or wait until the global rom arrives and buy it then. In either case, roughly how long does it usually take Xiaomi to release a global rom? Weeks? Months?

Usually its a couple of months or less in best case scenario.
And the source code is partially released after continuesly nagging and emailing from the xiaomi community. How long will that take? I dunno
Its probably the only bad thing. Because there will be some parts of the software that will need to be reverse engineered to get working in custom roms.
For instance the dual camera setup will probably cause some problems but hopefully they will be resolved or in worst case scenario the stock camera app and lib will be ported to aosp/lineage os.

I'd say that it'll take a minimum of 2-3 months for a global stable version, probably a few weeks earlier for a dev version. In your place, I would just wait until the global version releases and purchase it then.
But if you wanna buy it now, there has already been a multilanguage Xiaomi.eu version released.

So, is the official global rom currently listed on the Xiaomi Store on Aliexpress not the "official global rom"? I don't mind multilanguage etc, but am I missing out on some basic functionality? Like unfettered Google Play access etc?

I dunno Its a bit of a mixed bag.
Some customers who had theirs ship already told they received a phone with tampered chinese firmware with gapps installed but then no working OTA.
These units might be flashed with this tool to install gapps on-the-go on the chinese firmware.
http://en.miui.com/thread-3320023-1-1.html
Then the stores/sellers that has listed the unit as available but are not yet shipped if you already purchased when you look at the order details.
These sellers are waiting for the units to arrive that has global firmware out of the box. And this could take several weeks more before they ship.
There is a collection of firmware revisions on androidfilehost
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=279184
If this is official I dunno:

I messaged a seller on Aliexpress but I seemed to received an automated non-related answer.
I recommend to wait and see what happens in the next few weeks if you really want to be sure that you buy the global mi max 3 version.

Cheers SU. I think the "on time" shipping of 60 days means that these listed as global roms are probably pre-sale units.
I also messaged seller and just got bot responses.
I'll wait. No rush.

https://xiaomimi.aliexpress.com/store/2800188?spm=2114.10010108.100005.2.2a446889yNGvYL - these guys seem to be pretty responsive but not too informative either...

Honestly, I have no idea since I normally order from Gearbest. However, these guys seem to be the best/biggest seller of Xiaomi products.

Geekbuying has it listed with Official Global ROM...
https://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiaomi-Mi-Max-3-6-9-Inch-4GB-64GB-Smartphone-Black-400415.html

I ordered the 128GB from HK Goldway on AliExpress 12 days ago.
They initially said they could only send the Chinese ROM, which I said was fine.
When they didn't send it I asked why, they told me they need to install the global ROM. I told them not to open the box or install anything on it, just ship it as is. They agreed.
A few days later it's still not shipped. Now they are saying the 128 is a new phone and they need time to get it.
This is really frustrating but at least I'm not the only one waiting. Would be nice to get a free Mi Band though.

Where did you buy? Aliexpress? Which seller?

Tradingshenzhen is one of the most reliable sellers, a couple of days ago they started selling Max 3 with they global rom. This make me think that the official global rom has been launched.

too many basic issues with the device not sure if it is the rom or something in the communication hardware (could be some setting in service menu)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77234200&postcount=8
tempted to try the EU rom (or even the globe rom) but wanting the vendor to answer back on a return (Eternal Heaven on Aliexpress)

Only the 4GB is in stock. It should be about a week now for the 6GB.

I ordered from Aliexpress too and its been four days they haven't ship the device yet, I also used fast delivery DHL, I'll wait for 15 days otherwise I will ask refund.
