Galaxy Nexus Came rooted???

Hey,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus here in Vietnam and just realized that it is running a custom rom and has been rooted. The phone was new (no scratches and had the original plastic covering the screen)... My friends here tell me that iPhones are often sold jailbroken so I was wondering if this is normal here??? English is a major challenge so I'm not sure if I will be able to get more information from them...
Everything seems to be working totally fine... just curious.

Post a screen shot of settings/about phone. Do you have superuser apk installed?

Here you go...
Superuser is installed.

Not sure why the picture didn't work... here is a link.

In Vietnam beware of the originality of the phone. It's easy to reseal the phone/box/accessoires,etc.
Definitely they sold you an used item. Go back to the store to get a refund or exchange for real new one.
Hope it helps.

I agree, the OP got sold a used phone.

yeah, i was probably used, or possibly a refurbished phone.
i head of people getting a Certified like new replacement (refurbished) HTC thunderbolt that was rooted with a sense 3.5 ROM on it.
but the phone is def. not a NEW phone from samsung. also, being rooted, who knows what kind of tracking stuff could be on that phone. i would take it back and do the rooting process yourself just to make sure.

Eh, you could always just reflash the factory image instead. That'll pretty well get rid of anything that could be installed on the phone.
Or use fastboot -w to wipe it all and then reflash whatever you want to be on it.
Assuming all the hardware works, of course.

I suppose the OP is in Hanoi Vietnam.
Do you like the food ?

either you paid a very good price and the phone works perfectly, in this case just flash a full official image. You can find them on code.Google.com
Either you paid the full price for a new one or it doesn't work or look fine, in that case I would go back to the shop and ask for a real new one or a refund

Hey guys, edit your post so that the link to the pic is off of it. As stated, you can see his other pics through that link and I'm sure he doesn't want that.

Sorry I don't want to bother the OP's life. It' that because I'm from Hanoi too and I miss My hometown.

Thanks guys.... I'm going to head down there today and find out what they say. I'm hoping that they happened to get the extended battery in too!

the GSM extended battery was just now released in the UK so i doubt it will be in stores anywhere yet

Ahh... Well they are saying that there is no way it came rooted and I'm SOL. And this is Vietnam so there is really nothing I can do about it.... Bah. Its working well so I have no complaints really.
Thanks everyone for the input on this.

If the hardware is working fine then you can just unroot and flash back to stock and you'll be all good.

What is the store's name ? street ?

or, better yet. leave it rooted and install Adfree, Titanium Backup, RM, CWM, WiFi tether etc.... Unlock the bootloader right away while you're at it (since it'll do a wipe/reset) and then go flash some roms!

New batch of note 7

Hi guys,
I'm planning to get the note 7. Just wondering if anyone can post an image of a brand new unit if you got one. Does it really have the letter S mark? Or the black mark? Thanks!

It has a bomb with an X over it

Mine was the canadian version. Has the black square.

Wow that's it? The black square? OK it is good to know, but those out there with malicious intent, selling defective units on the 'Black Market' can easily draw up a replica symbol on the label to pass off as new 'Safe' units.

You can check the imei on samsungs website

Unfortunately I haven't opened it or made any other observations. I sold the new one on Craigslist unopened. I wanted an exynos version so will wait to get my hands on one of those after after the dust settles from the recall.
What I did notice was that the label with the black square was on top of the original label.
So my assumption is that these units were old stock, but Samsung knew which units had the unaffected batteries and therefore just relabeled them with a new identifier(black square) to know good from bad.

Only this letter was included in the shipping box with the new phone box.
It just tells me to drop off old unit at a Samsung store. On back side of letter it just names all the locations that i can drop it off.
No mention of what happens if i don't or no mention of any deadlines to drop it off by. I originally bought my unit from Samsung.ca.
They probably have my credit card on file and would just Bill me if they didn't receive my recalled unit

Finally Got the Phone

Took the plunge. Seems enough people care about the phone it will get some love. I have the Chinese model, and am so glad I waited. They just started releasing all black models instead of the nasty gold/black (if you liked that combo good on you, but I could not stand it and was going to get a white one). Here are some pics of mine. Now, 14 day wait to unlock (yay?). Wife had some good logic behind that, it is in case people return the device. Most online sellers here will only take a return within 7 days, you could do a lot to and with the phone in that time.

Hi there I have had my phone for 12 days (11 yesterday) and was able to get a unlock code instantly from the Chinese Huawei website: http://zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=apply and by following the guide from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701. The website does loop back to the login page a few times but I just kept repeating till I managed to get to the application page for the unlock code. After filling in the form the code itself was presented onscreen as soon as I clicked apply so good luck!

Thanks for the reply. That site is just a mirror of the English one posted before. It still just kicks back a "you need 14 days..." Wondering though, did you set up the huawei account and such on your device?

Yes I did but when I tried to enter it on the website it said it was linked with another website so I created a new account from my backup email directly on the website itself. I had more luck on the Chinese site than the English one as that would not even show some options for me.

Yeah, being in China I tried the English site first then the Chinese, haha, seriously I did. Might call them and ask, they might just phone jump to the engineering area where someone will do it and give it to me. Or I suppose I could go to one of hundreds of shops that will do it. Lets see if Huawei can be good to me.

I remember being able to get a phone unlocked for next to nothing then the more the fancier phones came out the more shops charged a LOT to unlock. Good luck with contacting Huawei themselves and here's hoping they will be kind. I dunno how I managed to get a unlock code really quick as I nearly gave up then tried the Chinese site which as soon as I entered the details presented my code instantly on screen. Are you planning on Installing the Nougat beta once you have unlocked your device?

Shops here in China are really cheap still, finding one that knows what they are doing is another thing. Nope, will stick with MM until official release. I am more interested in testing, hopefully some kernels and roms will pop up soon. I am an N5 user and still will rely on that device, this is a hopeful crossover device. Been drinking whiskey tonight, sorry if I am incomprehensible.

It gets the job done paying to unlock when they know what they are doing its just the price can be a tad high. Yeah Some kernels and roms should show up soon now the source has been provided by Huawei. Haha no worries I see your enjoying yourself and your new phone lol.

The all black model is really sick! I bought the white one, so I understand your pov about the gold (nowaday I consider titanium grey being a good choice too).
You do have to set up a huawei account in the device. However, for some weird reason, I had to wait for more than 14 days and couldn't get the code to unlock it. So I bought credits in dc-unlocker tool and could get the code with this unofficial method.

Titanium Grey is the model I chose. I did not know they did a all all black and from just reading up it is only available in China as Obsidian Black.

I would of gone for Obsidian Black as well if the option had been there, the options I did have were Titanium Grey and Prestige Gold.

It only came out here about a week or two ago, the all black model. The model for the Chinese market is better, but I don;t know if it would support LTE in most places.

Well, this sucks. Got impatient and tried to use the DC unlocker method, but no way to pay them. Every method is rejected, probably because I am in China. Trying to buy some bitcoins now, will see how it goes

Darn, I am already thoroughly annoyed at this phone. Just had to jump through a million hoops, only to be waiting on a bitcoin transaction. Hopefully, once I finally get the bootloader unlocked I will feel better, but right now I am

Can China Version Can Be Flashed?

I am planning to purchase the Lava Red version which is only sold in China. Judging from the Chinese specs page, it appears the difference is the OS? So that means the bootloader may be unlocked, I can flash a custom ROM or kernel from XDA, and basically use it as if I had the international version correct?

Of course it can. I'm also buy the red lava version from Shenzen, China. The ROM itself is Hydrogen OS and I flash Oxygen OS. For tutorials, you can check it out at this link : http://downloads.oneplus.net/
Default bootloader is locked.

What do they charge for shipping to U.S.? Do you pay customs too?

I bought an International Red OP5T 8GB/128GB from GearBest,it has Oxygen OS installed,YMMV if bought else where:
https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_1460037.html?wid=21
I paid a lot less than current pricing.
If you subscribe/open a GearBest account & receive promotional e-mails,you'll see some special e-mail subscriber only pricing on the OP5T every 2-3 days.
FWIW,I paid $549.99 USD for my Red OP5T (I opted for express DHL shipping,added about $9.50 USD to the total cost,no other taxes or fees to the US) ........................

Otherwise, you will see higher pricing.

ok im all signed up. atm it's 755usd. if the discount and so on is all applied it'll come down to 400gpb (50gpb cheaper than those ebay ones) or 550usd near your price.
if i got that for 400gpb id be so happy. because the standard ones we can find for about 360gpb. only 40gpb or 55usd more for the red!!
thank you man, so i should just wait now for their emails. id wait a couple of weeks no problem.
just to confirm, these red ones are all the same model/version. they can all be rooted and custom rom?
also the finger print scanner on back is liek google pixel, just a scanner, not a power button like LG v20, v30, g6 etc? how do you find that? I had the lg v20 and I thought it was the best phone at the time ever (i came from samsung notes before they screwed up the note series and then put the rear sensors too high for my puny hands lol.....) as in I like the finger scanner and power as one. sometimes annoying to turn off phone screen though, thats why i think i'll like the oneplus 5t because the power button is separate, also i like that mute, vibrate and sound button, great feature without unlocking phone.
but the oneplus 6 is being announced in march? i could wait, but i kinda need a work phone now

You won't have to wait long for the emails to start rolling in, I get two every day like clockwork.
I've seen the OP5T on about 3-4 emails in the past 10 days or so. Ordered mine about a week - ten days ago, it arrived Thursday (1-7-18).
The FPR is just that, not a combination power button. The power button & SIM tray are on the right side, volume & mute on the left.
It shipped with OOS 7.1.1, Google Services on board, Bootloader locked.

This is beginning to go off-topic.....
Take a look around the OP5T forum & Google search for answers to these questions,especially for Bootloader Unlocking / TWRP.
Regarding Google services on board, it means just that:
Phones solely intended for use in China do not have Google services installed. The international models do.
If you want to use anything Google related, buy an international model,unless sideloading/Bootloader unlocking/etc..... are 2nd nature to you.
If all of this is new to you, I highly suggest doing the same searches on YouTube, the how-to videos are a great tool to use.....

No,that isn't what I said or inferred:
I merely suggested getting an International version since it has Google services installed.
Apparently,either version can be bootloader unlocked & have TWRP/Root/ROMs.

I switch phones a lot,so,I'm probably the worst person to ask,LOL.
Outside of owning the predecessor,the OP5,for a couple weeks ( I switch phones a lot.....& often ) ,I've been away from OnePlus since their Original 1+1,a lot has changed since then............
Most new phones no longer have some of the features many of us grew accustomed to (Removable Battery/SD Card slot/I-R Blaster/Dual Front-facing speakers).
Those things aside,this phone,IMHO,hardly needs much,if anything done to it.
My one recommendation would be to use it as-is,explore the features/settings it ships with before diving in to the ROM scene.
I'm rollin' w/stock OOS Android 8.0 beta ATM, at least for a month or so,before I dive in to the modding scene.
@entwicklun
Here's a couple videos,one straight from OnePlus,glad I took a look myself:

Good idea I'll go stock for awhile and get accustomed! Nice find.
I had an iPhone 3 back in the day. the one thing I miss from IOS is their magnifying glass when you try to correct a typo, you press and hold on a word and it'll zoom in then you drag to where you want the cursor to be. it's so damn faster than android stock gotta constantly click exactly at characters to delete a letter or pinch my screen to bloody zoom in.
Samsung and LG don't do the zoom in stock or android I don't think. it looks like this : and can we do it on oneplus or do you know something we can flash? I don't think it's an app. I think it's in the os or rom?

RMA Question

If RMA a VZW Pixel 3 XL through Google, will they send me a Google Store version back?

Unfortunately there is no real way to determine what they will do. My suggestion would be to return the phone, then order a carrier unlocked phone.

No because as soon as you give them the IMEI number they'll know it didn't come from the Google Store and they won't RMA at all. You'll have to return it at Verizon.

I gave Google the IMEI and they gave me the option of either using Verizon or Google. I decided to use Google in the hopes of potentially getting an unlocked Google Store version as a replacement.

Did you ever find out if you will get a Google device back, rather than the Verizon version?

I got the confirmation email that my old device was received today and that they sent out another unit. They also gave me the IMEI which i checked out at a few sites, but I didn't see any indication of whether it was a Google Store variant or not. Is there a good way to check somewhere? Otherwise I just have to wait until Thursday when I get it back.

I don't know of a way you can check with your IMEI number. I am anxious to hear what model you get though. What did you RMA for?

I was having issues with the mic. Whenever i called someone the heard static real bad with what sounded like feedback or a high pitched whining noise. Issue persisted whether i used the buds provided or while on speaker. Bluetooth had no issues though.
Fingers crossed that it is Store version, but I'll settle for better call quality.

Why would you want a Google Store version back? You bought a VZW model right?

Why didn't you just buy a Google version to begin with?

Oh got it. You bought the Verizon version on some kind of deal and now you want the Google version so you can avoid the couple of hundred bucks it might cost you to bl unlock? Help us out here, spell it out.

No. I didn't get it on some sort of deal. I don't qualify for synchrony financing because i filed for bankruptcy last year. I got laid off the same time my wife had a brain aneurysm and the bills got out of control. Now we live an expensive part of Denver so our kids can actually go to a decent school with better peers. I work two jobs, my wife one, and i am a full-time student. So yeah. I bought it from Verizon because I've been in good standing with them and didn't have to put money down. Life happens. Tired of people taking crap about buying through them. If I could, i would have got out through Google. Maybe i will be able to next year or the year after that.

coolhandz, I appreciate your honesty here. Sorry if you felt like I was giving you crap.
I'm actually a bankruptcy attorney. You could probably find out where with a very simple Google search. I hope your post-BK life is going well. Please send me a PM if I can help out with any advice about rebuilding credit or something else.

Call quality is much improved. New device is a Verizon. A bit bummed. I'll continue to hope that a root method is found amd maybe next year I'll get the Google version.

Question, would you guys RMA for what might be a speck on the inner lense rim?
It's not affecting photos but i just noticed it today and i'm not sure if it's a dirt particle or if it's part of the lense \rim housing under the glass...
