Hi guys, soon I'm going to buy a branded Moto G5, it's a deal.
How do I remove that mobile provider brand? (Tim Italy)
Thanks in advance
I have this same phone (XT1675, Tim). Right now I am using it with Tre in Italy.
What do you mean by remove the brand? There is a TIM based boot animation, and one or two apps that can be disabled. There is very little bloatware, and the phone runs very well and gets great battery with stock, and Oreo should be coming soon.
Se vuoi, mandami un messaggio privato in italiano.
I have the same phone, in italy; and i want to unbrand it...i've tried to unlock the bootloader but the motorola's site said me that i'll lost my warranty, but in the FAQ of this site i found this:
Does rooting/unlocking your phone invalidate its warranty? (In EU)
In short: No. Just the fact that you modified or changed the software of your device, is not a sufficient reason to void your statutory warranty. As long as you have bought the device as a consumer in the European Union.
Can i flash a custom rom and be safe? the phone has one day...
What is your goal? What do you need to do? I am not sure about the warranty in the EU. Certainly you can use a custom rom. The Lineage 14.1 unofficial is very good and stable. But the stock ROM is very good, lightweight and fast.
Che cosa vuoi fare?

i want to remove the brand, the tim's app and i want better control of my phone (and also have some fun). I want a fast and light device and long battery life! No games, no incredible feauters, just whatsapp and fast browsing! I only don't want to lost my warranty
Voglio togliere le scritte e le app tim; vorrei installare un sistema operativo che sia veloce e leggero e che mi permetta di far durare di più la batteria; non ho bisogno di chissachè, solo navigare in internet veloce e whatsapp! Mi dispiacerebbe però perdere la garanzia..

Okay, but I think that unlocking the bootloader will probably void the warranty, and you need to unlock the bootloader to install a custom ROM. For the TIM app, you can disable it: Settings-->Apps-->TIM --- disable. (Impostazioni-->Applicazioni--> disattiva.) The custom rom below is very good. But you do have to use the Motorola website to unlock the bootloader. But LineageOS might only get a little better battery life than the stock rom. The phone has good battery life for the price. I used a custom rom for months but went back to stock. If you do decide to unlock the bootloader, I recommend this ROM for now:

thank you very much for you answers!!
I just can't understand why they write things like that in the FAQ section of moto G5.. May i write to somebody of the Xda-Moderator who wrote that? I think that i'm going to maintain the original rom, i'm poor and i don't want to loose the warranty!

Figurati! You're welcome. As for the FAQ, it is different to root and to unlock the bootloader. It could be that EU law does not cover unlocking, but only rooting. But on this phone one requires the other. You can try to disable other apps you don't use,and be sure to turn off Bluetooth if you aren't using it.

The answer to this question is simple - it depends on your countries laws
The manufacturer will always claim that if you unlock the bootloader it will void the warranty but this isn't always true
UK law states that if your phone becomes faulty & your modifications are totally unrelated than the warranty is valid
E.g if you unlock & root your phone and the touchscreen stops working because of a faulty component your warranty is valid
However if you flash something or do something you can only do with an unlocked bootloader/root and it breaks the phone then it's your own fault
Either way the manufacturer will always try and claim your warranty is void either way unless you quote the law from your country however in the UK your contract is with the retailer you brought the product from and so it's their responsibility to sort it out if the product is faulty
Flashing custom roms is safe - the worst thing that can happen is your phone doesn't boot in which case either you need to flash it correctly as you did it wrong, flash a different rom, restore your twrp backup or flash a stock rom firmware via fastboot

I wrote things for which I had quite good information about :
you may take the time to read the Free Software Foundation Europe speech about this [here]
Or, if you prefer to read the official EU Directive ("Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 1999 on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees ")
Of course, as it is a Directive and not a Regulation, I needs to be transposed under your local Country law. Nevertheless, you should be protected as long as you bought you device from an European seller.
Last, but not least you are -and will always be-, the only responsible to what you do to your own device.

Hi Guys
Just thought id post this for reference as the information i was given on the htcdev site is different to what they informed me directly.
"Thank you for your reply.
I do apologise Gavin, but installing any other ROM on your phone apart from the Vodafone custom ROM will void your HTC manufacturers warranty, regardless of if it is a HTC standard ROM or not. This means that if you ran into any issues and sent the phone off for repairs to us, this repair would be chargeable. In my experience, this type of repair usually cost almost the equivalent of buying a new phone as the motherboard may need to be replaced. I do apologise for the inconvenience this may be causing you.
To let me know I have successfully answered your query, please follow the link below to close your enquiry, you will have the opportunity to leave feedback about your experience contacting me today."
I have queried this as the above suggested to me that my warranty would be completely voided by installing HTC own ROM.
Pretty much what you should expect, hence why if you have a branded handset you need to keep hold of the branded RUU
It'd be like sending a Mac back to apple with Windows on it and not OS X - they'd laugh at you and send it back unrepaired

Hi Mate
I understand what your saying running windows on an apple but this is htc own firmware the firmware the device was originially shipped from there company with. Vodafone changed their firmware im just trying to put it back to standard stock. So i dont really understand why running their own firmware would cause this type of issue.

The stock HTC firmware probably won't cause any issues, but this just gives them a reason not to honour your warranty, something they're always looking for ways to get out of doing...
You are mistaken. the phone would have left the factory with the vodafone ROM already on it. at no point would it have had the htc stock ROM on it.
Your device is a vodafone one X, and as such, it is only officially supported and supplied with Vodafone's software on it. once you remove that, you have modified it and therefore have no warranty.
That's simply how it is. And why you always have to keep hold of the branded RUU as EddyOS already said.
And yeah, it'll run fine with no issues on the stock rom.
so the best thing is when unlocking it then and rooting is to make a backup of the current rom and then once that is all backed up flash as much as our hearts desire?
and then if any issues just revert back to the backup and then just send it back to the manufacturer for repairs?
Iff u use htc dev for ublock ther goin to be funny regardless due to the amount of handsets going back this will be even more so
Mod Or Die

Yes, but even better is to run the RUU for your phone (1.26.771.2) to get it back to 100% stock before sending it back
REal question is, where is such a ROM?

best thing is to wait bit longer me thinks. surely they will be the revolutionary exploit S-OFF and then things will be more easier..we can only hope..going through htc-dev site for me put me off right away. i understand a company needs to cover their backs but still the whole process to revert back to factory state for our handsets seems to much..
and yes this is coming from an old s2 user...hehe life was so easier back on the sammy front
Absoultely - I'll be waiting for that personally (well, so long as it doesn't take too long)

I can't see why it should take more than a couple of weeks; Vodafone should really have a dedicated team for this kind of thing and to be honest I'm not entirely what they actually change that takes time.
So....
If you unlocked via HTC-Dev's website, backed up your current ROM with internal key codes of your manufacturer's custom ROM builds, replaced the ROM with ARHD or another ROM.....
Then you found a problem with your phone because of a manufacturer defect (Proven on newspapers and the media in Hong Kong) such as the camera messing up with barcode lines, stutter lags throughout the UI without touching the screen, yellow spots on the display and also when pressing down on the left part of the display, the screen goes blurry and tint yellow.
So you flash back to your stock recovery backup you did at the first place, and...
You're saying that they would still fix this IF it has the original custom ROM from your carrier that came with your phone when you first opened it?

If you use the HTCDEV unlocker you agree to terms and conditions. The crux of what you're agreeing to says that if something you do to the phone causes it harm HTC's not responsible. They will repair issues unrelated to any s/w modifications (EG: display goes bad, broken USB, etc.)
Was the e-mail from Vodafone or HTC? If Vodafone is the primary for repairs they may have different terms. If they refused a repair you should be able to send it to HTC (assuming you didn't cause the fault). I'd take what's said in official HTC T&C over a contact center drone's e-mail as to what actually applies. If what was said to you in the e-mail was true XDA would light up like a Christmas tree from outraged users. I personally haven't seen any posts of HTC being particularly aggressive denying repairs on flashed phones.
I bought mine on T-Mobile from BuyMobilePhones.
After 5 days I rang them to cancel the T-Mobile contract, I had no signal at work.
I didn't send the handset, but got them to sign me up to an O2 deal.
They just sent me out a new O2 sim.
How do I know what RUU firmware I need to save as a backup?

If you don't get the T-Mobile splash screen when you turn on the handset, chances are they sent you the sim free version.
Did you get the OTA 1.28 update? T-Mobile UK hasn't pushed that out yet.

Buymobilephones.net send out unlocked, sim free handsets. You are fine.
Hi, I realise it was unbranded and unlocked and I have a CID of HTC_001.
Would this file be the one to return it to 'as shipped' if I had to send it back after
an unlock via HTCDev?

Apples warranty is a hardware warranty, not a software one, they support multi boot,

Net nieuw gekocht HTC One X. HTCDEV.com unlock toegepast. Kreeg toen OTA update van versie 1.28, update gedaan. Na een reboot kwam telefoon niet meer verder dan de boot-logo (kan nog wel in de bootloader komen). Wilde telefoon herstellen met RUU 1.26 maar krijg dan een bootloaderversie fout. Is er een RUU 1.28 waarmee ik de telefoon kan herstellen?

Their answer:
Hartelijk dank voor het contacteren van HTC betreffende uw HTC One X.
Mijn naam is Renate en ik ben werkzaam op de afdeling emails van de klantenservice van HTC.
Het spijt me te horen dat u momenteel problemen ondervindt met FOTA 1.28 op uw toestel.
U geeft aan dat u de telefoon heeft geroot op de Dev site. Dit ondersteunen wij helaas niet omdat dit buiten de garantie van uw toestel valt. U zal dan ook voor toekomstige reparaties worden gefactureerd helaas.
Ik kan u daarom helaas niet adviseren over een RUU voor 1.28 omdat wij alleen ondersteuning bieden voor zaken die binnen garantie vallen. U gebruikt de bootloader op eigen risico. Wij raden ook alleen mensen met een technische achtergrond aan dit te gebruiken.
Onze excuses voor het ongemak.

I am sorry to hear that you have a problem at this time with your FOTA 1.28 on your phone. You indicated that you rooted your phone on the Dev site. We don't support this because this doesn't fall under the warranty of your phone. You will be charged for any future repairs. You use the bootloader at your own risk. We advice only people with a technical background to use this. Our apologies.

These employees on FB are instructed to say that by LG. Everytime I read a different prediction: july, august, september, 2nd semester and so on. The truh is that they know jack sh*t and people should not believe that, it's actually funny to see those naive people getting excited with those responses. Just install an E975 ROM because we'll die waiting for an Android update. The truth is that only Google and some Motorola phones (Nexus, Moto G/X) are almost guaranteed to receive an Android update.

I emailed them :V but I guess it isn't that much different, did you flash a Kdz? If so which one? I think I'll just go and do the same. Some dude reported losing his imei tho, I have my efs backup but it is still kind of scary when it comes to a kdz file since this is my only phone.
I'm one step away from flashing a SFR kdz, because I think modem will work just out of the box, and a did find any kdz from France or Germany that is not from a carrier. But I'm afraid that flashing a kdz from a carrier will sim lock my GF phone.

I'm on stock ROM. The safest and most stable stock ROM to flash seems to be KK 4.4.2 EUR V20A. I didn't try to install it again because I read some reports that attempting to go back to stock Jelly Bean ROM after flashing this KK ROM fuc*ed the internal memory (can't mount internal SD card), which the only solution is to replace the board. I had my phone board replaced last week because I followed a tutorial which simply didn't work, and I simply don't trust almost any tutorial anymore. Installing custom ROMs on this phone is gambling; even if you're 110% sure you follow the tutorial instructions verbatim, there is a high chances of you'll ending up with a brick only fixed by board replacement.
About losing IMEI, you must indeed have EFS partitions and modem backup (not only on the phone but on PC as well), otherwise it's pretty much impossible to restore the phone's IMEI or get network signal.

Don't blame tutorials for you bricking your phone, instead search and learn everything possible related to that before choosing about do it or not. That's why I flashed only a kitkat custom rom nothing but boot.img and system, all safe with cyanogennod 11 times and efs backups. Tho i don't want to leave stock kk, at least not for other kk. The is just an opinion, if someone disagrees, or didn't like. Well. We all been there so we know why it happened, making this a good thing to print and paste on your head till you understand.

Hello guys,
I'm a happy owner of a Nexus 5 which was full customizable and now I'm switching to a G4 Dual H818p which I know have some limitations.
My question is simple, will we have a systemless root for H818P after we get the marshmellow update?
I tried to search for a related topic but couldn't find anything about it.
Thanks!
Moi aussi j'ai un lg g4 h818p android M
On est dans la liste d'attente
Le root pour android existe pour les appareils
Nexus pour le moment
Only if LG change their minds and allow you to unlock the bootloader officialy, or if (or when, I should say) our awesome devs find a way to unlock the bootloader unofficially. In Android Marshmallow Google changed something and now with stock boot img you cannot have root or/and custom recovery, you have to have modified boot img that will allow you to flash those, but in order to that the bootloader has to be unlocked, so for now you cannot root it on MM. If you bought H815 instead of H818p your life would be much easier

I didn't care of warranty as well. My H815 just yesterday got a bootloop issue after 8 moths of usage that is well know in G4 community and because I'm a android user like every one here I had to bake my motherboard in the oven instead of getting replacement, temporarily works but I have to sell it as soon as possible.

the phone will only get emergency calls, the IMEI does not match the one on the box it came in...

There's a way to do it, but any discussion about it isn't allowed on this forum. I guess your current IMEI is blacklisted, isn't it?
In your case I'd return it to the seller.

If you still have the original box or the IMEI written somewhere you can use root to change it but as far as I know it's illegal. I'm not 100% sure if it's illegal in this situation tho.

Hi everybody. I am from India. I to have the same issue for which i had a replacement done. But the new phone also has the same issue in which the imei shows null or only one imei shows and network doesn't work it shows service disabled. This issue happens several times a day to get back the network i have to restart the phone which is very hectic. The technical support team doesn't known anything about fixing the phone.
You should just get the refund.
Strange sittuation here. My G7 got repaired some weeks ago by a official repair center tru t mobile Netherland. They replaced my battery and motherboard. It came with new imei and a sticker on the back of the phone like it was a new one.

Hi can you help me with lg g7
Why do you respond to things when you have no idea at all what you are talking about? Use root to change IMEI? Change IMEI is illegal?

If you still have the original box or the IMEI written somewhere you can use root to change it but as far as I know it's illegal. I'm not 100% sure if it's illegal in this situation tho.

Has anyone attempted to unlock the bootloader?
If yes, can you share your experience? Especially confirmation of working order - I recall that unlocking the bootloader on the RM5 would brick the fingerprint scanner.

Thx - the under display fingerprint scanner keeps working after that?
Never tried the finger print. Sold the piece of junk so can't tell you
I just got the Red Magic 6 delivered. I'm curious as to why is it a piece of junk?
@Oswald Boelcke plz delete this thread as the content is been discussed in the root thread & as such, is no longer needed here.

¿Alguien ha intentado desbloquear el gestor de arranque?
Si es así, ¿puede compartir su experiencia? Especialmente la confirmación del estado de funcionamiento: recuerdo que desbloquear el cargador de arranque en el RM5 bloquearía el escáner de huellas dactilares.
