Hi all, I just found a website "unrevoked.com" provides an easy way to root few phones but it doesn't support legend, while I thought HTC Aria has a quite similar hardware to legend, so just wondering if there are anyone already tried it?
thanks!
be my guest , why dont you try it out
It doesn't work.
They don't have an htc legend to use for testing so they can't do it.
They did however say if they can ge their hands on one, as a loaner or from a store that they will do their best to develop a root for the legend.
Until then we have to keep waiting

So instead of making separate threads, I thought it might be helpful making this thread to ask questions.
I'll start of: How long does it take for the global version to go on sale after the Chinese one?
I current have a OnePlus 5T but I would like to upgrade to this phone (Mi 8) I was wondering where can I buy this phone and ship to the US? I know there's not market or anything. But I don't want to to pay double price either from a third party.
Thanks!

Average sot without heavy gaming?
Is it treble enabled?
sure, it comes pre installed with android 8.1
Hi guys. Since this is a Q&A thread, i'm wondering:
I bought my Mi 8 today, china version. Will I still be able to flash global software on it, or just the chinese firmware?
And when it comes to flashing AOSP, will there be any difference?
Thanks a lot.
I'm not a noot in flashing, I've had Nexus for the last couple years,and i'm quite confident with it. Just not aware if it will be same rom for both versions or not.

hello. does the samsung amoled screen of mi 8 deteriorates? easily? is there a way to prevent it? im having second thoughts of buying it because of it. i hoping it will remain same quality after 3 years like ips.
- Does someone (especially from germany) tried WifiCalling? Does it work?
- Does someone tried a USB Power Delivery 3.0 Charger, how fast (how many watts) does it charge?

Do you mean any form of burn in? I have it since 12/06 and no burn in at all. (what a surprise )
I think it will not have much troubles with burn in, because it has full screen gestures (so no buttons which can burn in).
The navigation bar eventually can burn in, but I think that will be not annoying.
does it have fingerprint gesture? always listening ok google?

Mi 8 is released in hong kong, and reading the site, it suggests that the nfc wallet can be used for services and specifically mentions google pay. Does this mean that there is a global rom now for mi 8, as google pay requires google services and afiak no chinese rom has these installed?
https://www.mi.com/hk/mi8/
I'm guessing it doesn't ship with Google Play. Is this hard to install? Do you need to unlock bootloader for the eventual global rom?

Google Services arent hard to install. You just need the Google Installer Apk which installs you all services, without the need off unlocking bootloader or root the devices before.
I dont know if you need an unlocked bootloader for the global rom - I would say no but i can be wrong.

Hi. As you can find in many other threads and places, you can do it on 2.1 (I know, I am using it ATM). By next week I plan to experiment on the 2.5. If by that time no-one else confirms it, I will let you know

Has anyone tested it and does it work?
I have tested and it does not work. Security hole that LZPlay uses was patched in EMUI 11.
I've found this link on chinese website, they seem to have found a solution to install google play services on it, not sure what they are using, do you guys fair any better in Chinese? screenshots seem legit...

Thank you, it is the same story like with all current chinese How-tos, LZplay does not work after restored from backup.
I've found an App which gives you GMS on the Mate 40 Pro, although its more of a Virtual Machine you run on your Mate 40 Pro so it's not as Snappy like the Phone itself but it works. So if you need to do some Banking or use one of thoose E-Scooter Apps it'll do the Job just right.
Basically you just need to Install the VMOS Pro apk, and boot the Android 7.1 System Enable the Google Services in the Settings, restarting the App and you're good to go.
https://www.vmos.com/
Notice: Gpay also doesn't work with this Method
Sorry, but VMOS is not really an option. It's like having 2 separate mobile phones...
Yes I have tested and it work, putting up a video on YouTube soon
On my mate 40 Porsche RS

Have you got Chinese version ,isn't it?
Yeah, international versions definitely do not work. I was hoping that after FW update on the Mate 40 pro something would change but there is no change. I am actually fine with MicroG now but still missing just a couple of GMS features.

It does not really improve anything. It could maybe help to recover licenses of Google linked premium apps (not purchased via Google Play Store!).

You're right. But hopefully it will work one day
Hi,
Hope you're all having a nice day.
I have tried everything that every google search has come up with and I cannot seem to reinstall the original rom.
When I try to use miflash it says partition not found, which is an error I am seeing a lot.
The device does show up on cmd fastboot devices, so hopefully there must be a way to get around this but I have no idea.
I'd appreciate it so much if anyone could offer any help, I'm completely lost.
I'm currently stuck on the bootloader on the first image.
Thanks

That's not a Xiaomi sweet phone. Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet) don't have rounded display
Not sure, it says sweet on the picture, that's why I included it.

Did some googling, and figured that @Laptapper and @jnsson were right. There might be a chance you got swindled. I did some googling and found a few other phones that matched that design in the photo (at least from what is visible). The following is a list of devices with a VERY similar design:
-Honor X40 5G
-Vivo X70 Pro Plus
-Google Pixel 6 Pro
Can't say for certain if these are that phone, but it's worth looking into them just to be sure.
Where did you buy it from?
Thanks so much guys for offering to help!!
I bought it second hand a few years back online in Japan.

Also, I checked my list again, and the only one that it could be of the three is the google pixel 6 or 6 pro. The others were made this year and thus don't fit the criteria, but it was only last year the phone was released so there's a chance it's none of these.

Can't help you there i'm afraid. you'll need to find out what device it is before you fix it, otherwise you risk breaking it even more.

Which ROM you've flashed?
it's not a sweet or sweetin!
If you don't find out which exactly model you will break it more and more.....
Elephone is possible....send more pictures of it with Backsite and connectors and sim holder

I've figured out what phone it was, but you were right, I broke it more. Now the phone will not turn on and is recognised in device manager as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM30). It also comes up on miflash as COM30.
There's a big gaping hole in my foot right now and my apartment smells like gunpowder...
