Let me tell you why. Like it's not enough that they pirate devices, people support them! I don't get it! Sorry If I sounded rude, it just pis*es me off (not you, the ones that pirate ). You know, the guys over at HTC invested so much effort and time in this device and....nevermind. You can ask for custom roms and root on XDA's General or "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking" section. Most of the chinese fake phones got their root exploits from there.
I'd feel such a bellend with a cloned chinese device.
Won't you feel stupid when people say, "Is that a One X" and you have to sit there and explain no, its a "iHTC One X EX"?
Like, WTF?

haha course not..
mate its almost the same, yeah its not quite a one x i get that, but where else can you get them specs for that price?
if anyone asks 'is that a one x' i'll happily reply with 'nah, its a chinese copy, with 1GB RAM, Dual Core 1.2Ghz processor, dual sim' and then follow up with '..and it cost me £115'
sorry but i definitely wont feel a bellend, its called saving money.. the Nexus 4's cheap price showed everyone we're all being robbed blind, so i decided to look elsewhere and found a kick ass phone for a kick ass price.. simple as that
That phone will probably have nothing in common with the real HTC one X except the look

Yes they call it ics....with a non ics version number and a non existing bootloader number and non existing strange cid number ....etc.... etc.... etc.....
I don't know mate ive seen all these devices if its what you can afford none of us can say anything. You will limit yourself on roms. Various compatibility. I don't agree these devices shoudnt exist. Phone manufacturers make a lot of money not only sim free but contract providers etc. They do overcharge for what they are made for
But if someone uses it and they know the x they will spot it instantly
Main point though it limits you mate and it will never have the power of the original

Hello everyone,
My first thread here because I have some problems/questions about my second hand bought Samsung galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100).
I have several issues and I hope to solve some or all of them, otherwise I am not very pleased with my purchase, second hand as mentioned. It must be a good addition to say that it is not a normal model, but one with a TV antenna and dual SIM (normal SIM, not micro like other NOTE 2), might be a Japanese model or something. (Is there any way to figure out where it comes from?). Version information at the bottom.
Here are some of my issues:
- First and most important is that there is 16 GB internal memory but it is not recognized. When taking a picture, it tells my it can't take one because there is no SD card available. Also google is not synchronizing and I think this is related. On the other hand, when I go to storage, it says total space is 16GB and 15.6G available.
- Secondly, I want to root it and flash cyanogenmod ROM. Pressing volume down+home button and power button should make it go to download mode, but instead it goes to Factory mode, with options as "Full Test", "Item Test", "Test report", "Clear Flash", "Version" and "Reboot". I there any other way to go into download mode or change the button options?
- Thirdly, the screen is somewhat pale. The colors do not really come out as they should. I remember in my previous phone with cyanogen, it had an option to set the warmth of the screen to "cool", "warm", etc.
Version information:
BB Chip: MT6515
MS Board: GT-N7100
IMEI1: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (interesting to say that this IMEI does not indicate it is a note 2, but a Nokia 5220 XpressMusic from 2008)
IMEI2: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (same at above)
Modem Ver: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V8, 2012/03/11 17:38

What's worrying me is that it's a dual sim model yet sold as N7100. Dual-sim models are Chinese and has N7102 as model no.
As for camera problem, you should be able to choose the storage you want the pictures to be stored in. If you have an SD card, it would normally ask you the first time you run the camera whether you wish to save photos to your SD, To make sure there's nothing wrong, try downloading other camera apps from play store and see if they're able to save to internal storage.
Display settings will have an option which will change how the pictures show on display. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by pale so won't dive in further.
My main concern for you is that you might have a well built fake? The model no and your description of the phone doesn't match, IMEI looks suspicious. Chinese models don't have access to most google apps including play store if I remember correctly so all the things you mention kind of shout "warning".. You may wish to have it checked to find if it is the real deal

I can at least download WhatApp and Gmail app on the play store. That seems to be fine.
As for the SD card, in storage I can select a preferred install location for new apps. I do not know if this is also applicable for photo's and I can not find the option in the camera. Did not find any camera app because the mobile internet doesnt connect and no WIFI. Will check that tonight.
Pale colors is like to opposite of intense.

You should not have access to the Play Store if you're using the dual-sim version. I'd go to a samsung centre or somewhere to check if the phone is authentic before you do anything else.

Note that I am using only 1 Sim card, if that is what you are inclining. I am certainly using the play store though. Downloaden another camera app and also getting the error messsage that there is no SD card available.
The give away that it is a clone is the chip in it. Samsung doesn't use those chips. Sorry to say but you bought a knock off

Go to the police man, it is not legal to sell copies instead of original, is a very bad thing and the seller must be punished.

half correct, if the phone is sold from china you are right but if he buy the phone in his country you are not, you cannot sale a fake istead of an original one if you are not telling this to the buyer, in this case is a scam an the police should manage the case.

The police have no place in this. It is more of the import and export policies. This happens all the time and is nothing new. Clones are sold on the internet on a daily basis. They all come out of china and are then protected behind their laws. Best advice is to make sure you know what your buying. If someone is selling the device for alot cheaper then normal then I would be careful.

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?

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.

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

Hi,
I need to know if the SDCard Slot in this phone it's:
A) Hybrid, so only two SIMs or one SIM plus one SDCard.
B) Universal, so three slots: two SIMs and one SDCard at the same time.
Thank you!
Hybrid.
But can be hacked to be universal I believe

I can't understand why manufactures produce devices with "3-choose-2 NanoSIM/microSD Slots". It's completely useless!
Why this model has this ****ing "3-choose-2" slot, and others from Xiaomi have full 3 cards support (example Redmi 5A).
It's crazy!!! :crying:
For only this reason, I'll not purchase the Redmi Note 5 Pro. Sorry!
you can do both

Hi,
I know perfectly the Slot hacks like this... My anger is because all devices with hybrid slots can work physically with all three cards. It's only a simple stupid design decision. It's quite easy to use a tray with two sides (like Moto G5+) or two trays (like Redmi 5A).
For this particular device Xiaomi has lost a customer!
With 54GB of usable storage, I don't think I would even bother with an SD card.
Hi all,
Dropping in because i can't seem to find a definitive answer when it comes to this particular device, Is it possible to go to the global rom, Simply because i want all the appropriate google services to work, I realize that it can be a bit risky going root and magisk and the like but i'm not after anything fancy, I've already started the process to unlock the bootloader and won't be able to do anything with it until friday aside from use it in it's current form.

6GB is enough for mid tier chipset, let 8GB+ for flagship ones. But if it 8/256GB, I'll jump in just because more storage never hurts nowdays. I don't use clouds so even 128GB will be filled to brim in 3 months, and hybrid slot sim suck

Yes there is 8GB RAM edition from N8Pro, China only.
I guess you can turn it to Global or Indian by unlocking the bootloader and flash the firmware using Mi Flash

Oh yeah i knew there is an 8 gig version, i was looking to buy that but my seller (Authorized Reseller) told me there won't be such model for some time because it's a fluff spec... But now that I've been using the 6/128 version i have to say I'm glad because almost all the talk about this device concerns the 6/128 model...
