tbh the price is catchy more than the original release. but how far the ads are annoying? and how far i'd lose official patches/updates in comparison ?
regarding compass, it's not on EU variant, but it's there for US, right?

I definitely won't be the guinea pig lol. Just preordered my full price g5 plus 64gb today. Should be delivered on release day. My moto x 1st gen somehow had the pins bent on the usb port. Stuck using my work phone (iPhone 6s) as my main phone. Can't stand iPhones!
idk if i care bout bootloader or not, i have moto g 1st gen which sadly fell down -many times- but last time the LCD screen film got broken from inside -not the screen itself- , too bad i wanted to try new cooked OS on it but it's unusable now
so now i've to order new phone and based on moto policy of getting kinda cheap phone + 99% vanilla android+future upgrades ,then it's what i want except i'm appealing for amazon price than original overpriced one
Just received my G5+ Amazon version and the bootloader unlock is a no go from the Moto site. Assumed as much after the G4.
Assumed so, got my g5+ in today and unlocked and rooted already. Saving the money on the amazon version would have been nice but I wanted to unlock it.

I sure did. There's a youtube video link on that page if you want visual instructions. It's super easy, just make sure whenever you restart recovery/power off in recovery you choose "Do Not Install" every time otherwise you'll brick the phone and you'll have to reflash the stock rom.
Argh, this is unfortunate. I stumbled upon a G4 thread that was saying how to remove it. I was surprised how easy it was so I decided to go purchase a G5 Plus.
Little did I know later in the thread it was discovered an error in Motorola's unlock system that was giving out codes.
The only thing I really look for is the rooting so I can backup apps and what not... really don't mind the ads. Is there any hope for a work around to unlock the bootloader?

hi,
guys, I don't want to dishearten you but did you think a minute about the way motorola will unlock your bootloader in the future update??
as they will release an update.zip like in the past, I'm not really sure if they will include the unlockable bootloader inside it and, not sure also if an android update can flash a bootloader. So I am a little anxious for you guys, mine is already unlocked...

Agree with Jay ... some one needs to read the OP ^_^ LOL
I, maybe just optimistically, think they will. The backlash, *****ing, low sales, the fact they said they would, and the fact that we have it already all points, IMO, to them releasing it. Motorola exec. - "Well the kids already have it so lets release it and make us look good." If they are on our side, at least give us what we want, they sell more. DROID - ground breaking - unlockable - sold like hot cakes. ATRIX - ground breaking - locked - not so much

Does it really matter? For those that actually want an unlocked bootloader, they can get it in the dev forum. For the average user who will still get the OTA update, they probably didn't care about the bootloader to begin with.

I'm guess i'm still an 'average user' when it comes to android, but this is where I came to become a superuser (pun intended). I don't think i'm ready to mess with the HK build yet, but I definitely plan to flash a few ROMs when the official unlocked GB update comes through. And if it gets yanked before the final release, hopefully i'll know enough by then to use kenneth's version, or if worst comes to worst, the HK build.

It's not like the HKTW build is as unstable as the build TBH gave us. The only things that don't work is the front facing camera, and fingerprint sensor.
I just didn't restore from a backup, and you can fix the WebTop. So my phone is running fine, and it seems even more stable than FroYo (Besides the obvious bugs)

It really dose not matter if thay include the unlockable bootloader in every update or not. As long as their is a way for it to be done. Thats all the matters. Really only the N1 could be unlocked without much of any hassle. You just needed to know what commands to run,
Once its unlocked. Its unlocked. Cant go back. And just because you flash back to 1.57 or 1.83 and it no longer says "Unlocked" at the top. It is. All you need to do is flash the pudding and it will put those little words back.

I actually work for Sprint and would consider picking up this phone if it got some decent developer support. If anyone has any basic questions about the device or its specs feel free to ask as I have played with it pretty extensively. It's an HTC device so hopefully it has an unlockable bootloader?
I should be receiving my Bolt in a few days, but I recall HTC stating that phones 2011 and newer will be able to unlock their bootloaders but certain models will be unlockable due to operators restriction.
Hopefully this phone gets some decent developer support.
Nice. As far as we can get it - m9 will get N faster) I'm also wanting to take a look at bolt's audio system, but system dump needed.

By N do you mean nougat? Cause the Bolt comes with Nougat 7.0 out of the box. First HTC phone to get it.
Also I'm not sure if XDA's description of the Bolt where it states the device is a mid range one from HTC is accurate. This is clearly intended to be a flagship. Sure it has the SD 810, but even in 2016 that is hardly a mid range SOC, and the device has many flagship qualities like a 5.5 inch quad HD display, an all metal unibody design with water resistance, large battery, USB type C, expandable storage, latest version of Android, etc.
There is even the whole LTE plus support thing which is a quality that other flagship on Sprint do not have. Oh and it has a 16mp camera with OIS. How exactly is this a mid range?
I have played with this phone a lot at work and it is very responsive. I don't think the SD 810 makes a difference.

You will most likely get a 7.1.1 device. Warranty it through Google
From the posts I have read about it, your warranty replacement will be a VZW refurb most likely on 7.1.1. If you get a new device from VZW it is still coming on 7.1 NDE63P.
One member posted getting a warranty replacement through Google still on 7.1 but he had to request it that way...
I just got my RMA from vzw it had Oct's software on it. I'd say you're fine. Also if you want to go through Google, I've seen post on Reddit where Google will send you a non VZW version.
Already processed the Warranty through Verizon, getting it tomorrow. Hopefully I get a model with old software... If not then I guess I'm screwed then? Lol

Then yes you need to unlock the bootloader. But please do yourself a favor and research the crap out of unlocking and rooting before you do it. Also the benefits and drawbacks. Those themes can also boot loop your device if you're not careful and make sure you have a fail safe way to recover.

Root is possible without unlock, but no one is going to burn a root method on a phone with an unlockable bootloader. Get the model that unlockable.

I should have been aware of this when i was purchasing hoping they will sometime soon.
Unfortunately only the European G6 H870.
Gesendet von meinem LG-D802 mit Tapatalk
I recently bought an H870DS version (though the title was said to be H870). I should have done more digging as well. That said, I have spotted some other tutorials and videos here and there that range in promises. Some claim to guide someone through a process of rooting models sold in the US under T-Mobile and others claim to be able to do it on the H870DS.
As I am just beginning to make my iPhone transition to Android, I am cautious when venturing out of the Walled Garden -- especially since most Android devices have no Secure Enclave present to realistically protect certain permissions.
What I would like to know is if LG -- or XDA -- has a history of obtaining root on devices in a situation synonymous with the LG G6 H870 and H870DS. How likely is one to eventually be able to root the device and install custom ROMs or help with Android Development on the H870DS?

I ordered an essential phone on eBay, which came in today. It functions. However it's stuck on 7.1.1. I contacted Essential and they told me what I have is a Sprint demo model. I run a few errands hardware tests and it seems it does have the sd835 (it says msm8998?) and correct ram and memory, supposedly. It said something like only 407dpi and a slightly lower resolution display. I contacted the seller and he told me that Essential says this to like 20 of his customers and that I can manually download and install the update. I'm hesitant to try that in case of hardware discrepancies. The bootloader says "Mata" for codename etc. Any thoughts on this???
I have the chance to return it. Is it worth it to return it and get another one? I want the correct specs as a normal ph1.

Mata is the codename for this phone. If you goto about phone and it is hardware revision 1.8 then you have the same hardware as the rest of us and should just download one of the "back to stock" fastboot packages on this forum and call it a day.

Thank you for the info I do have 1.8. What is the significants of that? Will I get OTA's now that I manually was able to update to 9.0?
I fastboot installed 9.0. rebooted and had no touch screen. So I installed through adb sideline the same version and it seems to be working now.

What is the variant in the bootloader? It must be unlocked, so in that case, you should get OTA updates as they are released.
It does say unlocked but it would not receive OTAs, I spent a good couple hours trying and troubleshooting. I contacted Essential and that's when they told me it's probably a Sprint demo. I just unlocked the bootloader and updated everything manually then relocked the bootloader.
You could flash last months 9.0 release, use it like that for a bit and see what happens. Would be the fastest way to determine whether it will update now or not. Also you should leave the bootloader unlocked, from what I've seen on this forum relocking the bootloader has been the cause of 99% of bricking for this phone.
Thanks for the info. I may try the recent prior update thing, if not I guess I can always manually flash.

I can, but it's only $209 I don't think I'll find a better deal for that price. Everything still functions the same just no warranty support, and no ota's. I can update manually still.
