I think the design is a downgrade compared to the previous model
The specs though are really good
I like that it still has 1080p display, that means less battery consumption
5.5-inch 1080p touchscreen
Snapdragon 808 SoC with hexa-core CPU
3GB of RAM
64GB of storage
21 MP rear camera with dual-tone flash
8 MP selfie shooter
4G LTE, dual-SIM functionality
3,500 mAh battery
Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
Anyone knows the price tag?

Anyone knows its price?
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Free mobile app

i guess it will be over $300 according to the official.

It was just announced and presented.
top model with 64GB pre-order in china CNY 2,999 about 442 EUR
and 32GB CNY 2,499 about 369 EUR
nice package, but price so so.

Vibe X3 Rooted?
Hello
Will the Lenovo X3 Vibe be rootable?
Will it have a presence here on XDA?
I won't buy a phone that I cannot unlock, root and flash ROMS on.
Thanks

Not buying it just yet as it has no Thread on XDA. I am waiting until is can be rooted before I buy it.

I was about to purchase the phone until this: resellerratings[dot]com /store/FastCardTech

Where can i get the full specs for the Lenovo Vibe X3? I want to get more details.

according to head-fi this phone has some serious audio hardware. and as they so rightly say, the hardware isn't all that matters, it's also the implementation of said hardware. i can't find any reviews on this phone anywhere with regards to its audio, such as volume levels, whether the sabre dac functions outside the stock music app, or anything else. is this a good phone as an alternative to the v10? there's no xda entry yet, and if it has similar pains of "no outside-stock-music-app" dac support, then how's about a hack? details people!

I have found this http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/products/phones/vibe-series/x3/downloads/ds105747
Maybe this can help for custom firmware on the X3a40 (which is the international version).

I have sold me old Note 3 N9005 and bought this Lenovo Vibe X3 , will reach me by tomorrow .... but it is disappointing to see there's thread/section for it here... however, u can root the device from the following link ...
http://pidapso.com/how-to-root-lenovo-vibe-x3/
OR
http://www.osroots.com/how-to-easily-root-lenovo-vibe-x3-smartphone/
And developers plz create a thread and at least help us remove unnecessary lenovo apps by installing the stock rooted rom minus bloatware ....

I tried with Framaroot, but it doesn't work for me.

ONe of the first hacks to try would be to port the LEnovo FM app to this devices ..hoping that the hardware supports this

I got mine 2 days back.
I can confirm that on Indian variant (x3a40) the bootloader is locked.
The simple fastboot oem unlock command couldn't unlock it.
Also, I was unable to root it using any of the usual tricks or any of the guides currently available.
I will dig more and let you guys know if anything changes.

Question about Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE500KL

Hi,
my "old" moto g 2014 broke few days ago and now i need a new smartphone.
Since i can spend max 200€ there are really few options and i was thinking about hte Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE500KL [the one with the Snapdragon 410] (200€ here)
But I know no one who has it and i have lot of question:
can i root it? there is a "scene" support?
It has a "cheap plastic" feel?
How long the battery last?
Is the screen good enough?
Any downside?
It's weak?
it's "scratch-friendly"?
You will suggest another phone?
Thanks a lot!

Root for now will be hard because I can't access the bootloader. Probably needs other root methods that aren't discovered yet. It actually has a premium feel to it and has good build quality. Battery life is good. I keep my mobile data on + smart power saving feature and it really helps. It has Gorilla Glass 4 which is the latest I think. But still it's better to add screen protection to be sure. As per performance it's all smooth on light to moderate tasks with occasional stuttering when having 5+ apps open. (Probably due to killing some tasks to free RAM)
I plan on creating custom ROMS and kernels for myself if we get to unlock it's bootloader but I can release it if there's not enough devs.

Thanks a lot for your answer.
I thought root would have been easy since Asus released the kernel source.
Sad to be wrong.
Ram could not gave me more problem then my old Moto G since it has double the amount. My worries were more about the Zen UI being laggy (I always used cyanogenmod and nearly stock android, I have no experience with custom UI)
There are different phone you suggest for the same price tag or this is one of the best in his range?
Thanks!

Zen UI is no laggy, it works very well.

Yes as much as ASUS puts bloatware zenui is smooth. And you can also uninstall/disable preloaded apps. For me the only downside on ze500kl is we don't know how long it is gonna get updated and how development will progress. Other than that it is a solid buy. I also thought it's gonna be easy to develop because of released kernel sources but still we can't place a custom kernel in it without flashing.

Pulling it out of my ass, but can we dump boot.img and recovery.img? The bootloader is locked?
Trough adb we can boot a custom recovery without flashing (adb boot myrecovery.img) and if we get a really simple recovery to work we can push supersu.apk in System and get root access.
I read that other People rooted others snapdragon 410 using this way

unable to find any recovery.img in full firmware or in kernel.
not able to pull from adb.
at present we have no custom recovery, neither any developer seems to help

I'm not really expert in android devolopmente but i'll take a look when i'll get it

we will wait

I'll ask here to not make a new topic.
Someone with a ze500kl can make an Antutu benchmark?
Thanks a lot!

recovery is a patched boot.img, and the patch is present in OTA package. (at least in 118)
although I can't ensure manual patched recovery is same as in phone,
it can directly boot from bootloader and is no need to flash.
recovery is attached. (it's not a flashable zip)

sorry for my poor english.

Please can anyone tell me what is better in terms of battery life between zenfone 2 ze550ML and zenfone 2 Laser ze550KL ?

Asus Zenfone 2 laser
Why is Clash of clans lagging a lot on my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser(Z550KL)??
Have cleared the RAM cache as well, did factory reset and all. But no use. Any one having the same issue?? :crying:
Need a good solution.
Thanks

Redmi Note 4G Dual Sim?? What Official ROM to install??

So I bought a used Xiaomi Redmi Note, it says its 4G and Dual Sim but only has 1 GB of RAM
Firmware seems fake because it looks like MIUI v6 or v7 but actually its just a skin and has miui v5 apps or maybe i dont know
anyway first time connecting to wifi resulted in a massive attack of notifications and i was constantly asked to install apps and i had really weird apps on my homescreen like sexy videos and stuff like that
factory reset, good luck it is already rooted, my brother sent me link2sd via BT and i uninstalled all bloat and viruses, but I want to flash an official rom or developer rom and I cant seem to find any 4g dual sim global firmware version
my device is: Xiaomi Redmi HM Note 1S CU
A link with a good latest stable ROM and flash instructions would be nice

Well i took another look in about my device and looked at my current rom, seems to be the china version so im downloading latest from official miui website, lets hope it will work
Its hmnote1s_something KHKCNCl

If you have a doubt about the authenticity of your device , post pictures of it , front and with back cover open , then maybe someone can help you get the right rom.

this is the phone with all its specs: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&...e_1s_dual_sim_td-lte_8gb_2014912_xiaomi_gucci
another big problem is now its HARD HARD bricked, i mean mi flash tool not working, mi pc suite not working, flashing rom via cmd, flashing custom recovery via cmd, all fails, gets stuck at flashing tz.mbn
also in cmd i get these errors:
FAILED <data transfer failure <Unknown error>>
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))

I'm guessing you got a fake. Maybe a redmi or redmi 1S, as those are dual sim with 1GB RAM--but no 4G. You probably hardbricked it by flashing a note bootloader. There is no xiaomi note 4g with dual sim.

well its not fake, with this website it said its a genuine xiaomi device http://www.mi.com/verify/
these are the specs http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&...e_1s_dual_sim_td-lte_8gb_2014912_xiaomi_gucci
and i flashed this http://en.miui.com/download-218.html#370
even if it says redmi note 4g dual sim china the zip file says redmi note 1s http://bigota.d.miui.com/V7.1.1.0.KHKCNCK/miui_HMNote1S_V7.1.1.0.KHKCNCK_19d57ac436_4.4.zip
is there any way i can flash the original redmi note 1s bootloader to repair the device?
i tried flashing philz recovery but for any fastboot command i get errors like FAILED <data transfer failure <Unknown error>> and FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))

same problem ..l already flash with fastboot n mitools..it still same.. the problem is from the emmc..

What i have right now is xiaomi note 4g and its dual sim, it is real. I am using rom i download in en.miui.com/download. I pick rom from xiaomi note single sim 4g global or ch8na they work well until now. My phone physic is similar to the picture above. If u want to see if ur xiaomi redmi note is real, look ofr number behind the box and type it in mi.com to see ur devuxe is real or fake. I type mine, it says genuinely xiaomi or registered device

Thats not a joke. ROM is pretty stable if you don`t use SW to control your kernel.
Just go to settings and make your battery profile with balanced perfomance )
