I just ordered from ibuygou 3/32GB version, it cost me $295,45 including DHL shipping and Tax/VAT insurance..
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] guegangster:
Bought mine from HonorBuy. Didn't want any kind of trouble with customs since it has been a pain in the past.

So bought from HonourBuy with EU Warehouse option.

Paid €314 for Mi4c 3Gb RAM 32Gb version + 2 tempered glass protections and insured shipment with DHL.

Placed order on saturday morning, received phone following tuesday at noon.

I could probably have saved a few € using a coupon but failed to do so while placing my order
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] the_hustler:
Hello. I have ordered on ibuygou and now I have an issue (not with ibuygou !)

My friend was supposed to collect the phone in Gothenburg, Sweden and depart to India (where I live) with the phone on 20th December. Now plans have changed he is planning to leave on 16th December morning from Gothenburg. Will I receive the phone in Sweden on 15th ?

Current shipping status is - "Shipment information received" - Hong Kong updated at 02:25 AM IST - 11th December. DHL Express is the delivery carrier.

I am so sad now :(
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] f_ries:
Hey at all,

I ordered my Mi4c (gray, 32GB) at gearbest.com. I forgot to hit the expedited shipping button so the estimated shipping time was 10-24 days... damn...

But here are my details/experiences:

order date: November 2015, 28th

(I live in germany, item was shipped via belgium air mail)

29-11-2015 03:30:36	Item is announced / bpost received the information (also I had a picture from my package, thanks to gearbest!)

30-11-2015 00:01:00	Item is ready for transport

30-11-2015 13:00:00	Arrival at export hub

09-12-2015 05:16:14	Departure to country of destination

09-12-2015 15:15:19	Your shipment has arrived at the postal operator of the country of destination and will be delivered in the coming days.

So as you can see I had nearly 9 hard days without any information about the delivery process. But when I came back from home on Dec 9th the package layed already on the floor!

What can I say? Everything went fine. Now I have my Mi4c for 3 days and I'm quite happy :)

There even was playstore pre-installed and no chinese bloatware. Mi-apps are reduced to minimum and the miui version is v7.0.99.99. It runs absolutely smooth and I can't find a reason to change ROM to smiui or any other rom :)

Hope this helps someone!

So far I can recommend the gearbest shop for buying Mi4c

[HTC One E8] firegun:
hi,

Today I received OTA update notification from HTC but as my E8 is already rooted and wanted to keep my root mode for some more time so i thought to disable the annoying Update notification which pop-up every now and then,

Finally i found a way to do that:

Before trying this method please do note the following 3 points:

1. This is only for Rooted Devices with Superuser,

2. you should have Root explorer installed,

3. Caution: you are doing this at your own risk.

Now here we go:

1. Open root explorer and navigate to : /system/priv-app/updater

2. Inside Updater folder you will find two files

1. .fota_apk

2. Updater.apk

3. use root explorer to r/w

4. You may take a backup of those two files

5. Rename those two files extension to some other

example: fota_aapk, Updater.zip

6. Restart the phone, now you do get any OTA update notification until you rename those files again.

Note: After this modification you may not find "Software update" or you can't find "check for update" in setting--->About Phone

[G Pad 8.3 General] player911:
This method is not mine. Original thread is HERE. I am simply making it work for our Verizon LG x8.3 VK815.

With the introduction to the newer OTA update, rooting ability using the old method has been broken. This means we have to follow the new method for achieving root similar to the LG G4. This requires pulling the system image, injecting root, pushing the system image back to the device.

Here are the steps to Root your Verizon LG x8.3 VK815

Follow JUST the first step here to get setup with the Download Mode and send_command:

http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586

It has links to the VERIZON drivers and the resources to get this done.

Here is the specifics for the LG VK815 to backup SYSTEM image:

I am uploading the 11A Stock OTA System Image Here:

Wrong device, wrong Forum.

Please ask in the Q and Forum for your device - thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 General] player911:
Yea the new update breaks the existing root methods. There currently is no way TO root, but I think we can root it similarly like we do on the G4.

You basically pull the system image (using the command I posted), open it up on the PC, copy in the root files, and push the whole root system image (3.5gb) back to the phone.

I would recommend doing a factory reset and do not sign in to google, install apps, etc. The tablet is 16gb and you'll have both images on your G4. You might not have enough internal storage space with apps installed.

I do not have the UPDATE installed, nor do I want the update unless I KNOW it can be rooted. So if you can pull the system image for me and upload it, I will try to inject the root and you can try it. You'll have BOTH system images on your tablet, so if the rooted one doesn't work, you can just flash the original.
[G Pad 8.3 General] player911:
Anyone on the OTA able to pull a stock system image to upload?

I have no intention of taking the OTA if it cannot be rooted. I will help anyone looking to root the new update.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Abilio0695:
Hi there, im now trying to root it using this method. If its right i would update my img :cyclops:
[G Pad 8.3 General] player911:
I am having problems copying the image off of the device. I tried doing it though adb pull and shell and just a straight copy. Keep getting permission errors. I rerooted my 11A tab to try permissions.
[G Pad 8.3 General] calle124:
I have the same problem too, i can't move/copy the system.img. Any solutions of this?
[G Pad 8.3 General] player911:
Update to pull system.img

#mv /data/media/0/system.img /data/media/0/Download
#chown media_rw:media_rw /data/media/0/Download/system.img
#chmod 664 /data/media/0/Download/system.img

[G Pad 8.3 General] player911:
I have pulled the stock OTA system image, injected root, and about to flash it now. If successful, I will upload the rooted system.img.

The OP is sort of a mess right now while I am adding notes and steps. If I am successful, I will organize it better. The steps for flashing is 1 line

EDIT!

SUCCESS!
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Another thread that should be stickied.
[G Pad 8.3 General] player911:
Agreed as this method will probably be the standard for all updates going forward unless LG blocks it.

Unlike the G4, additional steps need to be taken to get the image off your device because they locked down permissions.

I am interested in hearing of how this works for others. I've been all over this for a while and my instructions may skip details.

[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:

[G Pad 8.3 General] Defile:
This worked for me. I FINALLY got my x8.3 rooted. Uploading the rootedsystem.img file to FileDropper right now. Will share the link as soon as it is uploaded.

Edit:

FileDropper wouldn't hand over the link to the file so I'm uploading it to MediaFire now. Will post link as soon as it is uploaded.

Edit:

File is uploaded (Remove spaces): www . mediafire .com /download/ qnx4f9bzxage96o/ rootedsystem.img
[G Pad 8.3 General] player911:
Cool!

I'll update the OP links with your mirror.

Can you provide a MD5 checksum? I think I zipped the original to save file size so the MD5 will be different.

Looks like both of my links have died. I'll reupload the Original and Rooted images up to other services tonight. I was excited when I finally got it and threw it up on the first host that would support the size.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Defile:
I'd be glad to post the MD5... as soon as I figure out how to get that... I have no idea, never done that before. xD Normally I just wait for everyone else to fix things like this and I download their hard work but I decided it was time for me to step up to the plate.

EDIT:

I believe I got the MD5 for it. I used WinMD5Free v1.20 so I hope I'm not just being an idiot here (Never learn until you stick your neck out.)

MD5: 5e151c2126263423a1602fd39eb2db47
[G Pad 8.3 General] Skizzy034:
So the only step we need to do is push the system image you provided?
[G Pad 8.3 General] player911:
I would back up your system image too, but not needed.

You should just copy the rootedsystem.img to your internal storage and use the DD command from Download mode to copy it over.

My device is hard bricked. Knowing better, I tried to push a patched boot image to the device after flashing an unsecured /aboot image. My device won't power up, and is showing up 9008 mode connected to my PC -- Qualcomm's EDL mode. I'm looking for a blankflash file to revive it back to life. If any of you know where I can find one, it would be a lifesaver, and would enable me to get a rooted system.img on the thread. Thanks.
[G Pad 8.3 General] 0Gtriple0G:
anyone out there that can supply what hes asking for. id love to be able to use his finished product.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I've been looking on the Russian 4PDA forums for a blankflash file. Lenovo/Motorola does not release these to the public due to "potential security issues," so any blankflash files out there have either been leaked or have been professionally coded by expert devs. Even if I can't find one for the G Pad x8.3 specifically, a blankflash for the msm8939 in general would give me the proper firehose programmer for QPST EDL mode flashing. So, anybody who knows of a blankflash for the msm8939 please share. I'll write up a full rooting tutorial for this device using a rooted system image pushed with LG-UP Dev Edition (Partition DL mode). Thanks guys (and gals).

With my device bricked, I cannot be 100% certain of which pre-rooted system.img I flashed to my device initially to get root. I have three or four system.img files on my PC , but I can't be certain which one is the proper one. My plan is to dump the system.img from my device once it is back up and running (if), and post that image in my root tutorial.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
In the meantime, for the Android savvy who want root on the most current firmware build, you can use Cygwin w/Android kitchen to inject root to a /system partition you've dumped from your device (I recommend using SuperSU v2.82-sr5). Repack the /system directory to a system.img and push it to your device using LG-UP Dev Edition with the "Partition DL" option. For any of you who need this modded LG-UP, private message me and I'll give you a download link. I don't want to share it publicly (out of respect to the person who shared it with me and asked me not to post it publicly), but I will give anybody who wants a copy a one-time download link (free of charge, of course).

Hello mate, thank you for the tantalizing posts and awesome files you've offered, I would very much appreciate it if u could send me the link u mentioned! On another note, I have a VZW VK815 running Android 6.0, the boot loader is locked and has stock recovery. I am desperate to root this nifty device but I am a total n00b and my ignorance is astounding. Would the method you mentioned in your last few posts work under these circumstances? Thank you in advance, seriously man I mean that. :good:
[G Pad 8.3 General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Check your PM inbox. I have sent you a link to what you'll need. The only difficult part to this is manually injecting the root binaries into the system image itself. This typically requires the utilization of an Android kitchen type utility.

Hey did you ever find that EDL file you were looking for?
[G Pad 8.3 General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
No. But I do have another device in my sights. As we speak I'm actively making bids on a Verizon LG G Pad x8.3 on eBay, with one day left on the auction. Should I get outbid, I'm considering the purchase of a used device on swappa.com. [MENTION=10216787]Xdisastermfx[/MENTION], I would recommend checking out [MENTION=673068]dsixda[/MENTION]'s Android Kitchen with Cygwin. This setup allows you to unpack your system image, inject root binaries, then convert back to image format, at which time you can use the modded LG-UP to push the rooted system.img to your device. DO NOT attempt systemless root by patching the stock boot image. Any tampering with the boot partition will trip the secure boot qfuse and a boot error will ensure. Leave your boot partition untouched. Here is the official thread for the kitchen. https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246

This didn't work for me until I downloaded Chainfire SuperSU from play store and updated SU. I also forgot to md5 check the img file after downloading.....until after flashing and still no root.

[G Pad 8.3 General] player911:
The mirror was uploaded by another user after the original host killed my links. I have not reuploaded them, but I will asap later today.

So the MD5 may not match his vs mine. Others have had success with this though so I am unsure why you are having issues. SuperSU may need updating on first boot thats normal.

I'll re-read. Is it still the same solution where you have two images installed and you have a lot less space since an image is not being used, but they're both on there?
[G Pad 8.3 General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
To be clear, I don't have the VK815, I have the VK810.4G and we haven't had to do this yet if it's an option. But I'm not familiar with a situation such as that. By flashing a pre-rooted system.img over your existing one you'd be replacing your unrooted one with a rooted one. There'd be no duplication.

I'll take a closer look at the flashing instructions but on just skimming that part it looked like what I said, flashing one over the other. What you're talking about makes me think of dual booting.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

Upon re-reading the specific command used, perhaps you're right.
[G Pad 8.3 General] player911:
You are merely backing up your system image, injecting the root files, and pushing over the rooted system image. Once you are done, you can delete the system.img files. You are not booting from them or anything.

It is not the prettiest root method but LG is very progressive on blocking hacks. This is how newer LG devices have to root. I didn't find the method, I simply took the G4 method and expanded it for us. The X8.3 Tab has a few more security features that I had to get around.
[G Pad 8.3 General] bracca:
Player911,

I have been rooting Androids since the Droid Eris. Have had lots of droids since, and some root methods have been tougher than others.

I gotta say, this one give me a headache. I don't care it's not the prettiest way to root. If it's doable, I want root.

I will try again to make sense of it all. Maybe it's all the back and forth-ing between threads.
