[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] the-equinoxe:
Some time ago I made some installers with PocketPC Installer.

I added the cabs from the programs I use and made the cab's with registration files regtweaks etc with wince cab manager.

All changes (like controlpanel\owner) license files etc etc. are now installed by clicking an exe.

Now I can experiment with new roms, knowing I can install my programs and settings within a few minutes.

I keep the exe on a sd-card incase of a hard reset.

You can even let it auto-run, which I don't use, but could be usefull.

Both programs are not cheap (approx 80 usd each), but they are worth it.

PS.

If you already have wince cab manager to edit cabs, use UPX4PPC for the exe's in the cabs, it will speed up the programs when executing them op your PPC. ;)

Used it for iGO and several other programs.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKitano:
Hi everybody

I got me a Mate 7 Version MT7-UL00 in Shanghai.

Everything fine so far (LTE works in Switzerland, Play Store installed etc.).

Now I still have some Chinese Apps I cannot change to German or English. Most of them I do not need (for example the Huawei Wallet). The App Center (to administrate all the apps on my phone) would be nice to have in English or German.

Is there a chance to get this changed or to download an other version?

Thx for the help!

Hi, I'm also in Switzerland and I had the same problems than you. I tried in vain to change the language of many apps so finally I just rooted it, installed Titanium Backup and I was able to get rid of all that bloatware. Since you have the Play Store you don't need the App Center anymore, do you?

The only things remaining are the chineses sayings on the lock screen. But you can change it as well.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKitano:
Hi Inspecteur Gadget...

So I am not the only one in Switzerland with a Mate 7 from China ;)

I had on my LG G3 an App Center where I could manage all the apps. Not for Downloading new apps.... but for things like turning off the notification etc. This I can do also here with the App Center. But there is still a lot of Chinese in there. No big deal but it looks just not the way I like it :)

Enjoy your phone!

What are everyone's expectations on the bootloader situation for the Nexus 6? Is the fact that this is a NEXUS giving anyone hope it will be easy to unlock or will Verizon screw us once more?
[Nexus 6  General] Fu5ion:
I don't think Google would have allowed the Nexus 6 to be on Verizon unless there was an agreement in place that this phone would be handled by google. Then again, Verizon never ceases to disappoint me so ya never know.
[Nexus 6  General] nbaj2k:
I was wondering the exact thing. Before I get too excited... Hopefully this phone doesn't end up being the first nexus that's locked down, and that's why Verizon agreed to it.
[Nexus 6  General] PhantomGamers:
From what I can tell there are only two models of the N6, a US version and a Worldwide version. So there's no room for Verizon to lock down the device or delay OTAs for Verizon customers specifically.
[Nexus 6  General] charesa39:
My VZW GNex didn't have a locked bootloader, so I don't see why they would be allowed to lock this one down. Locking a Nexus bootloader is sacrilege.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
From what I have read on the press release on the N6 while it will be compatible for all carriers and CAN be sold at all carriers once they comply to agreements with Google.

That means that either they have to comply with all that Google is asking for with this device, or they cannot sell it in their carriers. Verizon and AT&T might have to ignore their liberties when coming to that contract, but T-Mobile and Sprint will likely bend over backwards for Google.
[Nexus 6  General] fix-this!:
I have a feeling at&t and verizon will lock it down and put bloatware on it.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Bloatware, Si; lock down, No!
[Nexus 6  General] equake:
No Locked bootloader but updates may still come delayed because thats is what is happening with the Nexus 7 2013 LTE when VZW came into the picture.
[Nexus 6  General] danarama:
Why no C? No bloat, no lock - like the N5?
[Nexus 6  General] cbrehob:
Or Verizon says, "You can use the Nexus 6 on our system only if you move to a tiered data plan".

That's a roadblock for me at least.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Well sure. It's possible. But as long as it's unlocked the addition of bloat is a moot point. You just root and uninstall the bloat. I am not familiar with the N5. None of the Nexus family has gotten my attention until now.
[Nexus 6  General] joshm.1219:
Didn't know that, sweet. Well then yeah. Now I'm just wondering about the Turbo.
[Nexus 6  General] Mistertac:
I'm seriously considering grabbing the N6 myself, even though the G3 was just recently unlocked I've never had a Nexus. I'm like you though, I see all the valid points as to why our Verizon N6 shouldn't be locked... But it's Verizon lol would it totally surprise you if it did end up being locked down??

The Turbo on the other hand most certainly will be locked down no?
[Nexus 6  General] hakaida:
I will only buy unlocked phones as I still am on the unlimited plan. I really hate that verizon has locked down many phones that I have wanted. I would buy the droid turbo or nexus 6 as long it's unlocked.
[Nexus 6  General] toddnbrown:
The Droid Turbo is probably locked down pretty good, if the previous Droids are any indicator.
[Nexus 6  General] ShapesBlue:
I'm personally looking forward to the Nexus 6 but I'm really hoping it will come bootloader unlocked or I'm seriously considering dumping VZW, after having two straight phones with unlocked bootloaders I'm seriously looking forward to it again

From my CM11 S3
[Nexus 6  General] Mistertac:
I agree with this ... It'll be nice and locked down I'd imagine.

Smartest thing to do probably is not get it on launch and just wait and see. I'd think it will be unlocked like many others have said.

One thing I'm wishing the N6 had though was a removable battery. 32/64 GB internal memory makes up for no SD card but... I really like having 2 batteries and it's a 3200mah battery right??

That Turbo battery is ridiculous..
[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
Coming from a GNex running shiny ROM, I'm excited about the N6, I figure it would have to be unlocked being a Nexus device, however VZ has screwed us before.

I'm somewhat worried about the size, but could get over that. I'm figuring that with luck, VZ will place it on edge/installment, no one is going to outright buy it in their store IMO...
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
All of the newer Verizon 4G LTE devices have GSM radios and are GSM SIM unlocked, including the Verizon N6.

None of the Verizon 4G LTE devices can be used on Sprint though. Ironically, the Sprint iP6/6+ can be used on Verizon if you get it SIM unlocked.

Verizon Nexus 6 Frequency Bands

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what Bands are open on the Verizon Nexus 6. I travel to Mexico and currently I have a Verizon Note 4. I purchase Telcel or Movistar Sim cards in Mexico but I am unable to access their 4G service due to the lack of available bands in the Note 4. I have seen several posts stating that the Verizon Nexus 6 is identical to all other Nexus 6's. On the Google Play Store is shows the following specs:

Network

2G/3G/4G LTE

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10

WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/8

LTE: Bands: 2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/25/26/29/41

CA DL: Bands: B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-29, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B17, B4-B29

The Verizon Site shows the following specs:

NETWORK LTE Band 13/4 (700/1700 MHz), CDMA/1xEVDO Rev. A (800/1900 MHz);

GLOBAL NETWORK EDGE/GSM (850/900/1800/1900), HSPA/UMTS(850/900/1900/210

I was hoping that someone who actually has a Verizon Nexus 6 could verify what bands are available. I am looking at paying $650.00 from Google Play or $250.00 from Verizon. I would hate to pay an additional $400.00 for the same phone. Any information is greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 6  General] jkc120:
They are the same hardware and thus support the same bands.
[Nexus 6  General] ShapesBlue:
They may be the same hardware but the international and USA N6 have different bands they run on

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 6  General] jkc120:
There are two variants. One for the US/Canada and one for the rest of the world. Whether Mexico is the same as the US/Canada one is the real question. If it is, then he can buy from Verizon. If it's not, then his MMV depending on which bands Mexico uses and which the international N6 have.
[Nexus 6  General] dillion1:
I believe these are the Bands for the Carriers in Mexico that I use.

3G 1700/2100 Nextel Mexico; 3G 850/1900 Iusacell; 3G 850/1900 TELCEL;

4G LTE Telcel 1700Mhz; 4G LTE Movistar 1700Mhz;
[Nexus 6  General] TheHobbyist:
Just so that you are aware, Verizon is not selling you the phone for $200.00. Allow me to demonstrate :

$200.00 phone + $40.00 upgrade/activation fee + an additional $15.00 a month for the length of the two year contract that you must agree to ($15 x 24 = $360.00)

That adds up to $600.00 and you are locked in a two year contract.

If you buy the phone outright for $600.00 and "bring your own phone" to Verizon, you pay $15.00 less a month and you are not on a contract.
[Nexus 6  General] jkc120:
Unless you have a google play or moto Nexus 6. Or can you finally get the monthly credit for a BYO Nexus 6 that's not one of their IMEIs? Also, is that discount only for non-UDP?
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Only thing is Verizon will not whitelist the imei of a nexus 6 bought from moto or Google. I paid for mine straight from Motorola and it shows up as non Verizon device and I can't make account changes online and neither can phone reps.
[Nexus 6  General] rgraville:
Not if you still have a grandfathered unlimited data plan. Can't get the $15/mo discount.
[Nexus 6  General] dillion1:
I am on a grandfathered unlimited plan and I also can upgrade phones every 10 months. In my particular case it is less expensive to do the upgrade through Verizon rather than purchase directly from Google Play. With that said if the Verizon version of the Nexus 6 does not have the same bands as the Google Play Version then I will have to go with the Google Play version. I was hoping that someone with a Verizon Nexus 6 could physically check their phone to see what Bands are available. :)
[Nexus 6  General] TheHobbyist:
I think regarding your question about bands, you would be better served with your own thread, not asking in a thread called "Verizon nexus 6 bootloader"

It is also my fault for going off topic, but I wanted to inform you of the true cost of a Verizon bought phone.

To the others: the discount pricing does not apply to UDP unlimited data plan customers, as that is its own unique plan type and it is not set up with such discounts.

Regarding the issues with bringing in a non Verizon nexus 6 : They can fill out a dmd form to add the imei to their database. Any way in which they are not treating non Verizon phones as equal to their own is against FCC regulations that they agreed to. They are in violation of federal law.

This discussion does not seem relevant to the OP though, so it should probably take place elsewhere
[Nexus 6  General] ShapesBlue:
That's the joy of xda, you can post nearly anywhere. I'm no longer on VZW but use to be so I float all around xda and help where I can

And big red will continue to violate rules left and right and will never get in any real trouble. While I agree there coverage is top notch there prices are quite insane. Never will I go back to them, ever

Google play and moto nexus 6 have the same bands as the Verizon model. Same phone..only difference with a Verizon model is the branding on the back, and the fact that a Verizon model shows up properly on your account.
[Nexus 6  General] dillion1:
Thank You. I will get one ordered through Verizon. I appreciate the clarification.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
No problem..only kink is if you want 64gb or a white model Verizon does not carry it so you would have to buy from google or moto.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
There is no white Nexus 6. There is an ugly, dingy gray Nexus 6 that is deceptively called Cloud White.
[Nexus 6  General] jkc120:
That's a matter of opinion. I dislike white phones, but the cloud "white" N6 is gorgeous IMHO.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
Some people think dingy gray is attractive. There is no accounting for taste. But nonetheless, it is not white.
[Nexus 6  General] jkc120:
Clouds are not always pure white eh? Anyway, your odd, misplaced rant about the color is OT and silly. Don't like the "white"? Don't buy it. Period.
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
Well since you can't find it anywhere in store, you are stuck with the renders and pics you can find online - that with the name of the color leads you to believe it is white. Consequently, I did buy it based on what I could find out about it online and it was a dingy gray color. Just warning others - it ain't white. I am doing a PSA.
[Nexus 6  General] jkc120:
*shrug* fair enough. Return it and get a midnight blue then, though maybe it won't be blue enough for you :p
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I don't like the blue frame on the blue one, lol! The solution is to put a skin on the dingy gray one.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
The blue isn't really blue..my brother has that one and it looks a bit more towards the purple spectrum.

Final confirmation

Guys

Sorry for trying to reconfirm this but is the Nexus 6 purchased from Verizon come with an unlocked bootloader? Are there any differences at all between the google play and this version? Thinking of buying it and if there is no difference between the two versions of the phones, I'd rather go buy direct from Verizon itself

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] jkc120:
Is it an "unlocked bootloader"? No, of course not.

Is it unlockable with fastboot oem unlock? Yes it is.
[Nexus 6  General] BladeRunner:
Other than a verizon logo and maybe a few verizon apps that you uninstall it's exactly the same. Bootloader is unlockable and it's SIM unlocked as well.
[Nexus 6  General] sam008:
are there any step by step instructions to get root on the verizon-branded phone or just follow the common instructions with this step as the first one?

Prove me wrong if Verizon will honor Google agreement to not lock down the bootloader and I will going very surprised for sure!

Will Verizon have a subsidized price on the phone? I'm all for getting a Nexus, but not for $650.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
I'm sure they will. They said all the carriers would have it. Carriers can't sell phones at full retail. Their entire business model is based around subsidized devices.
[Nexus 6  General] Borderpatrol1987:
That's the point to the new edge/next/jump/easy pay. Their no longer subsidised so your plan is cheaper.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Well they didn't lock it down on the gnex so I don't think they will on this one. I'm 99.6% certain of this. I will give up my UDP when they wrench it from my cold , dead hands.
[Nexus 6  General] MOS95B:
I am going to go with the "Watch XDA for a couple of months before I get one" plan, and see wha tthe experts recommend
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
At Verizon they still have the traditional contract extension subsidization available. You don't have to do edge. But it was advantageous for us. If you get on their 10gb shared data plan you get a $25 monthly credit per smartphone that is purchased through Edge. Last December we went and got 2 Note 3's and an HTC One m8. Total payments on all 3 is like 75 bucks /mo. The credits basically make enrolling in the Edge program free aside from having to pay the tax on full retail up front. My only gripe is by the time I Edge up to the N6 the new edge agreement will be an 18 month upgrade cycle instead of 12 months.
[Nexus 6  General] ShapesBlue:
Yea I was considering edge. I used to get a 23% discount through my old employer but now with my new employer it's a mere 6% which is crap basically. Have to wait and see how much the N6 turns out to be

From my CM11 S3
[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
I'm figuring, based on the GS5 being $29.99/mo (Yes remember that first month you pay the tax on the retail price of the phone, they won't tell you that in store, believe me). that the N6 may be that or $34.99, but don't hold me to it.

Let's remember, though to us it's a Nexus, to VZ it's another smartphone in the lineup ....
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
I pay less than that for a Note 3 on edge.... And it was 700 retail. The N6 should be 24 bucks a month, actually less once they modify the edge to stretch it over 24 months instead of 20.
[Nexus 6  General] cdmoore74:
I’m glad you brought up Verizon Edge because I currently I have 3 smartphone lines in the family and 2 are available for upgrades. I’ve already pre-ordered the Note 4 under the old Edge plan (12 month upgrade or 60%) but now I’m thinking about getting the Nexus 6 under the new Edge. I wanted a Nexus tablet but I’m pretty disappointed in the Nexus 9 price. So my thought was to use the Nexus 6 as a tablet just to have a device in the house with stock software and unlockable bootloader. My Note 4 would be my daily driver.

So my question for you guys is would it be smart to get the Nexus 6 under a second Edge plan and only pay $2 additional a month? That’s assuming the device is $649/24=$27 a month.

If my math is correct it would go $40(device access)-$25(10GB plan discount)+$27(device cost)= $2x24= $48 over 2 years.

Would you guys do it? My wife is using an iPhone 5 and my daughter is using my old Note 3. Technically I would still have 2 upgrades next year if I turn the Note 4 in at 12 months. I would definitely keep the Nexus 6 for 2 years. It almost looks too good of a deal but I wanted some input.

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

If the Nexus 6 is $650 they divide that now into 24 months which works out to $27.08. It’s why the Note 4 went from $35 for 20 months under the old Edge plan down to $29.17 for 24 months under the new Edge plan.

The catch is that they now make you wait 18 months (or 75% the phone cost) before you upgrade again. Which makes zero sense because you’re only 6 months from paying the thing off. The plan is excellent if you decide to kept the phone for 24 months because it $0 down (no taxes in my state) and you get a discount ($15 or $25) on your device access amount. If it wasn’t for the device access discount it would be a terrible deal.

Verizons galaxy nexus did have a locked bootloader. And it would of probably stayed that way. However a Samsung employee or inside man leaked a unlocked bootloader
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
I don't know if that fits my experience exactly or not. I seem to remember its being locked initially. But sdk adb command "oem unlock" was all it took to unlock it. There was also Wugfresh toolkit to do the same thing and flash recovery. I do remember a warning that you would lose all data, personal or otherwise, when you unlocked it. I don't quite see how a leak from a Samsung insider would have been involved in that.
[Nexus 6  General] blap017:
Damn your definitely right!!! Sorry that was the s3 I got them both very close together I'm sorry
[Nexus 6  General] CBMC:
Yes. That is how all nexus devices are. Locked, but unlockable via that simple adb command. When people refer to locked, they mean encrypted and unlockable (at least without some work around).
[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
I believe Google has won the battle with Verizon. In the US there will be a single phone for ALL carriers. On the play store it talks about updates coming straight from google. I believe the bootloader will be unlockable by that famous ADB command.

The N6 was designed this way from the beginning. It's the only Qualcomm kit to have a discreet modem. I'd say you're right.

Its not cheaper if you want to keep your cheaper current plan. Were on a friends and family plan now. Bc one of the users on our plan is and forever will be on a flip phone, he's being charged $15 a month instead of $30 (for a flip phone) on the current share everything plan. I crunched the numbers, and doing the Edge plan with the discount is always more expensive.
[Nexus 6  General] mrw1215:
While unlocking, and being able to easily flash custom ROMs, and whatnot, is going to be important to me, I'm just hoping that a Nexus 6 ordered from the Play Store will work when I pop my Verizon SIM into it. I want to buy one as soon as it goes up for order, but I'm worried I'll end up dropping the cash and then we'll find out the Play Store version doesn't work on Verizon, or something, and you have to buy it through them, or whatever. Hopefully, I can just order off the Play Store and be fine.

Quick question... does your phone now have a nano sim? because im pretty sure youll need one of those... although if verizon does carry this im sure theyll swap it out for you

Im in the same boat id like to order from google as well and take it to verizon and get it going. I believe we will be in luck because of the "one phone for all" thing. I optimistically hope we will have our answer before the launch date

Oh. Huh. Didn't realize there was a difference between micro and nano. I remember having a bigger SIM on an older smartphone, and getting the smaller one for my S4, but I didn't realize there was another variation. Ah well. Guess I'll have to get one of those from Verizon. How easy is it to do that?
