Hi,

I have a HTC Desire 200 and would like to get some sort of android 4.4 or higher on it, so I can pair it via bluetooth with my smartband (just to keep the records on it, so that I don't drain the battery life of my main phone).

s there any thread on XDA for this? I have searched the forums and saw something on a Sesire C thread, but I did not understand if it's ok for my 200.

Thank you for your help!

Hello,

Sincey your device doesn't have a specific forum as of now, You may have a look here Miscellaneous Android Development for development regaring your device.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrimuSSaintS:
Hello everyone!

I got my Mate 8 64Gb Yesterday, unlocked the bootloader and flashed the international rom I could find in this sub; now the question is : are there any updates? the updater doesn't give me any (i'm on B133) but I know that does not always mean there are no other versions.

My other question is regarding "Now on Tap". I did update every google app, my phone's language is English (UK) and I still don't get the now on tap menu in the Google App, instead, when holding the home button, I get to the now cards (which is pretty damn fast comparing to my Ascend P7 haha), is it because I'm in Belgium and Now on tap is not available there yet? (if so, I don't mind about switching my phone's language to English US or something like that) or is it because I'm lacking some kind of update?

Thanks for all your answers guys!

Do any Marshmallow Roms have PIE controls working? I thought I saw somewhere that marshmallow doesn't work well with edges and so pie wasn't working on marshmallow ROMs. Anybody know?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] 75chunkymonkey:
And again, more disappointment. Another phone with a locked bootloader! I spoke to LG and T-mobile tech support. Of course they both are playing the blame game on one another but bottom line is is that the LG G5 will be locked down just like the Samsung S7. I was told we would have to wait to see if an unlock option comes out down the road like the G4 had. What another let down....
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Biker1:
If this is true, I'll be sticking with my LG4 for awhile.

I was thinking of getting the S7 Edge until I read about the locked bootloader.

Was hoping the LG5 wouldn't be locked.

Patience is a virtue ;)
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] igotroot:
You are overreacting because LG has a history of providing an unlock method just as long as the owner realizes that they have registered the phone has warranty void. This is no big deal because we already know the risks involved with rooting and loading custom roms, and worst case scenario all you have to do is have insurance for that phone so if you hose you can always get another phone.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hawkstwelve:
If this is indeed true, I have a tendency to believe that T-Mobile is the one requesting locked bootloaders (and not Samsung, as they led us to believe for the S7) and that most of their phones will have locked bootloaders from this point forward. Unfortunately the "uncarrier" isn't so "uncarrier" anymore and we will now rely on OEMs to provide an unlocking method. Luckily, HTC already has a set-in-place unlocking method so even if the HTC 10 comes with a locked bootloader, as I now suspect it will, there shouldn't be any reason we can't get it S-OFF/unlocked.

T-Mobile is slowly switching back to the ways of it's evil step-brothers, ATT & VZW.

[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisz5z:
Yes, HTC has had simple process you can use to unlock your bootloader for some time now, I think since the original HTC One... I did this with my M8. Getting S-OFF is another story, you have to buy an app called Sunshine....which is well worth it considering the work the devs put in to accomplish this.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
But every LG device has a locked bootloader that have to unlock via adb if it's not truly locked down. I wonder if he doesn't know that. Hopefully he is just uninformed but T-Mobile is getting cocky now that they're making good money.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Coachmark2:
And that is the big question.... is it locked as in "cannot be unlocked by the user" or is it locked as in "all you have to do is type Fastboot OEM Unlock" and you're home free?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKnux:
It's locked cause it has more enterprise security than Samsung phones. It was accepted by the NSA.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfgart:

[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfgart:
You have to buy international variant and you are sure will be released from LG official bootloader unlock solution as it was for G4...

Grab it from handtech.co.uk store ;)
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] scottricketts:
It looks like it's an 820 thing. Qualcomm is driving this. T-Mo is already working on an approved unlock from Samsung for the S7 and S7e.

Disappointed to hear the latest news, but I would be happy enough to get root (most of the G4s with locked bootloaders have root at least). Hopefully all is not lost!

Has anyone with their device in hand actually confirmed this? I've got mine in hand and don't wanna brick anything by trying to run fastboot oem unlock on it...

Update: In developer options there's an enable OEM Unlock.. Dare I try it?

Update 2: I tried to fastboot oem unlock it.. Get a message at boot complaining about not being able to check for corruption. But it booted.

[IMG="cmdprompt"]http://i.imgur.com/Dm8uymb.png[/IMG]

Update 3: I'm entirely too stupid to continue messing with this. I await the guidance of someone much smarter than I before I do anything else
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] paperWastage:
a) enable developer options (Settings in ROM)

check to see if there is a "Enable OEM unlock" option

http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/0...nable-oem-unlock-option-in-developer-options/

b) reboot into bootloader/fastboot (turn phone fully off... then hold volume up+power, or volume down+power)

there should be a screen (serial number, ROM build number etc)... provide photo of screen

it usually tells you whether bootloader is locked or unlocked

*WARNING: unlocking bootloader may void your warranty
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] spanky34:
There definitely was an Enable OEM Unlock options in developer options. So I enabled it..

Rebooted into fastboot (Hold volume down and then insert usb cable while phone is off) and ran the fastboot oem unlock just as shown above in the screen cap. Unfortunately when I try to get the status now, it doesn't say unlocked or locked. It's empty (see screenshot)

Fastboot now says the exact following:

---------------------------------------------

*Welcome to Fastboot Mode :

*HOW TO exit fastboot mode

1. Press the Power button for 10 secs to turn off the device

2. Use 'fastboot reboot' command if the fastboot is avaible

On reboot a yellow caution sign comes up and says

"Your device cannot be checked for software corruption"

otherwise, it's possible to hard-brick a phone (if bootloader locked, Enable OEM unlcok =false, no way to unlock bootloader. will need to see if LG has a tool to flash signed official ROMs via fastboot)

[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Thanks for that. But I was looking at quad core g5, Vs hex core v10. Or is that apples and oranges?
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] savergn:
[MENTION=5070414]Josh McGrath[/MENTION] The "6" core CPU on the V10 is a quad core+dual core processor, not a true 6-core processor. As such, the phone will either be using the quad core OR dual core processor depending on the load; it can't use them both simultaneously. Just comparing both quad cores of each phone, the G5 should be significantly faster.

Woooooooooooow. Now THAT would be crazy ? Lol

If the bottom of the phone can last for three years I'll be Satisfied though. I really hate the fact that manufacturers revert to leaking information rather than just coming out with it after the two competitive phones already been released. Hint hint HTC.

[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] igotroot:
I would suggest buying the LG G5 now just in case LG allegedly made some type of technical error where they did not want this to actually happen. That way when the new HTC phone comes out, if it's really what you want, you can always do an exchange. If I were you I would order the phone on their toll-free sales line so that you can get a 20 day return policy versus only a 14 day return policy at the retail stores.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] igotroot:
I just ordered 2 G5's an hour ago. They arrive tomorrow!

I could care less about the Adaptive memory feature because at the end of the day four gigs of RAM is perfectly fine and I would prefer to use my memory card to store things anyway. And as for those that do want to use the adapter storage method using your SD card please keep in mind that your SD card speed is never going to be the same as the speed on the internal memory. Maybe one day that can happen but as of right now no.

Hmmmmm so LG apparently left a booby trapped unlockable bootloader.... only time will tell. I'm sure the guys in that form will figure something out. And of course worst case scenario we can wait and see with HTC does with its new HTC 10 phone.

I tell you if this is the last straw of premium phones being able to be unlocked, then indeed 2016 will be the year of great disappointment.

I never did like Nexus phones because they lacked in the hardware department when compared to LG HTC and Samsung. If Google would have a manufacturer make a premium specification phone then many of us would jump on it but I guess that would make too much sense and Google is not simply going in that direction.

[T-Mobile LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow12347:
Are you certain about this? Because I was a sucker and bought an S7 hoping that it would eventually be rootable just like all other previous Samsung phones, however that doesn't look to be the case...

So I was planning on returning it for something else and I also saw that the G5 was having issues with root, so I wasn't going to get this, however, if what you say is true than I would rather have the G5 than the Note 5 (which is definitely rootable).

I love the S7's looks and ergonomics, however it is a pretty paperweight without root... My brand new S7 lags while typing, scrolling, and gets hot from literally nothing draining the battery super fast which is unacceptable for a brand new phone with the fastest processor on the market.... And it lags on the saddest of games.. It can't handle Disney Tsum Tsum without lagging balls, turning into a ball of fire, and force closing... Pathetic... lol
