Benchmarks

I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.

3DMark – GPU Performance is as low as all other MT6737 devices.

AndroBench – eMMC Performance is decent, write speed lower than read speed. (as expected)

Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.

Epic Citadel – As you can see, 3D performance is barely sufficient for smooth gaming.

GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (4x Cortex-A53), enough to handle almost every type of activity.

CPU

Compute

GFXBench – As already said, GPU performance is low, and somehow lower than MT6735. (just like all MT6737 devices)

PCMark – Good Overall performance, the maximum obtainable from this SOC.

Work 2.0

Computer Vision

Storage

Work 1.0

Vellamo – Being an super-heavy benchmark, you can clearly see why this device needs to be considered as low-end.

Conclusions

Following my M8 (not PRO) conclusions, i can confirm that this is still a great device considering the price target, and if you need 4G support with better overall performance, this is a device that needs to be considered.

Of course i'm not saying that this is perfect, there are some downgrades compared to the M8 (not PRO) such as the Weaker Flashlight, Lower Camcorder Resolution and Worse GPS Signal, but everything else is just fine.

Pros:

Impressive Price-Performance Ratio

5-points Touch Screen

Solid and Well-Built

Super-Bright Screen

Upgrade to Nougat coming soon

Cons:

No Notification LED and No Magnetometer/Gyroscope

Heavy

Weak Flashlight

WiFi Performance needs to be improved

Disappointing GPS Signal quality

First of all good job analyzing this phone, i bought one recently and still waiting for him.

And about the malware? is possible to remove without root?
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Yes it can be disabled.

Thanks for the alert, I forgot to add a screenshot where I show this.
[Device Reviews and Information] 021055:
Hello,

Thank you for this superb test, I also wait for mine. I am very interested in removing the malware, I did not know the software to detect them.

Have a nice week end.
[Device Reviews and Information] Palm Trees:
Did a quick search. Not looking good. Hopefully, someone will debloat the current rom or the Nougat beta rom (from needrom).

[Device Reviews and Information] 021055:
Hello,

I just received mine and actually found the same "virus". I have disabled the program but can I put my SIM card and use the phone without risk of sending my data? Sorry about these questions that may seem a bit simple to you.

Very nice device, one can remove the navigation buttons of the screen by "parameter smart / navigation bar / on" and it is really good for GPS programs.

GPS is OK even inside.

The bluethoo is OK.

The photos are good.

The battery was loaded yesterday at 100% around 10h00 and this morning 9h00 it is at 60%, the use since yesterday was the setting of the account, download by wifi, etc.

In comparison for the same use the Samsung note 2 is at 40%, the rating 3 at 40%, the UHANS A101 at 20%.

You have to buy a silicone protection because the back touches the camera (negative point).

A bit heavy but "solid" manufacturing.
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Unless the app stays active even after being disabled, it is safe to use.

You lucky that your GPS works fine inside, mine doesn't.
[Device Reviews and Information] 021055:
Thank you for that answer.

Tests BUT I'm not a specialist.

I did tests and I think the antenna makes the difference.

For the gps, as for the wifi, reception is better when the phone is in "horizontal" landscape.

In WIFI:

In vertical position the LEAGOO M8 pro 1 scales, in horizontal position 3 scales.

In vertical position, samsung note 2 and 3 are on 3 scales, the UHANS A101 is at 1 or 2 scales. Horizontal for 3 phones, 1 scale upgrade.

Is TWRP available for this device yet?
[Device Reviews and Information] Palm Trees:
Not yet. It will be interesting to see if this device receives any custom roms.
[Device Reviews and Information] stephendt0:
If TWRP is made available, I might build a debloated ROM if I get this device. I had the regular M8 but I decided to sell it to a friend, using a K3 Note right now but it has some hardware problems
[Device Reviews and Information] Palm Trees:
That would be really awesome. I still can't decide if I should get one or save the money to help buy one the bezel less phones coming soon.

how to root

Any idea how to root?

I tried to port a twrp ,using Carliv Image Kitchen , in order to install super su, but without success,

The flashhing process was ok, but twrp doesn't start, still remain android recovery. It was my first attempt, maybe i made something wrong. Any help?

Thank you

[Device Reviews and Information] pulso5:
It has the bootloader locked.

Can you upload the twrp
[Device Reviews and Information] 021055:
Good evening,

I found the TWRP on a Russian site (thanks to them).

Once the TWRP put on the M8 Pro with Flash Tools.

M8 Pro off.

TWRP launches in twice with me.

Press the volume up and start key for several seconds.

We get to Recovry / xxx / xxx press the volume up key to choose recovery (attention is fast ....)

Press volume down and then press Start.

Wait 4 to 8 seconds and TWRP starts.
[Device Reviews and Information] pulso5:
yes good evening

and then you can root the phone?

i found something at 4pda but it dont let download
[Device Reviews and Information] Palm Trees:

[Device Reviews and Information] 021055:
Hi,

Good evening,

I have no specific link, I put a generalist link to my TWRP search. The site does a great job and I had to read the 63 pages ..... before testing the TWRP, the ROM without the "virus" is there but I have not tested, I do not feel competent enough to do it.

For pulso5, you have a private message.

Hi,

I'm sorry but I did not understand if we can send a file in private message, my English is not excellent, if so, how?

No need to unlock bootloader.

Put the twrp and spflashtools in c\ and try and retry till success.

And now titanium, xposed...

Hi, I found this thread while googling for information about possible malware in my phone. My mobile antivirus had identified the Triada trojan in a couple of apps (Dual Tag and Settings) and now I'm worried about my personal data. I have read the whole thread, but I am afraid I have no idea about rooting or roms, is there a way to get rid of the malware or at least contain it without having to do any advanced things that could go wrong?

Many thanks for any help you can give me! :)
[Device Reviews and Information] ggleytonb:
To remove this virus and others you have not yet found. You must have root installed on your phone. And I particularly recommend you install the dr antivirus web.

[Device Reviews and Information] cmart242:
Hi, thanks for the tip. Indeed, that antivirus detected several other threats I was unaware of :(

And I know that I must root my phone to solve the problem, but as I have said several times, I don't know how to root the M8 (or any other phone) and all I find are pages with files and software you need, but not a description of how to use them and it what order to avoid problems :crying:

[Device Reviews and Information] jrotaetxe:
Just in case nobody has found problems and Hyperion70 is unaware.

First. Wish to thank Hyperion70 all his effort and dedication. Without persons like him, able and willing to build ROMS this would be a boring world

Now, the problems I have found

LineageOS ROM does not switch USB fuctionality from "charging", so you cannot use the phone as MTP then cannot move files to and from computer. For me, that is a clear no go

RR ROM has problems with the camera. It hangs after some time/photos taken. The connection with the camera fails and you do not recover the until reseting.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] spilled83:
Hi, folks,

My lg v20 has been hard bricked. No recovery mode can be done, nor download mode. no response at all on power button, volume up and down.

Only thing I can notice is when I connect the phone to pc 'qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008'.

Anybody has a solution for this?

Many thanks in advance.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jerrycoffman45:
Depending on your carrier mine ATT has a one year warranty replacement program
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mkfryan:
At this point you probably have an unrecoverable hard brick when you see the 'qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008'. To save the next person, please list what you were attempting when this occurred.

*Not a fan of claiming warranty with carrier due to something you flashed, a large part of why the carriers are as strict with locking bootloaders as they are.

Hi. I got new a5-2017 2days ago and observed that its proximity sensor ocasionally stop working for unknown reason. At such time, I need to reboot the phone to fix it instantly. Its looking related to the software, not a hardware problem, because it get fixed after restarting the device.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Kimuchuu:
I already wrote something like this in a similar thread, but for another device (read the device name wrong), so I thought i should post it in the right place.

I have been playing too much with stuff that i probably shouldn't have been so hasty about. So i have finally arrived here on the ERROR MODE (with unstoppable boot loop), which looks exactly like the bootloader only it says ERROR MODE instead of whatever, where i can't get into any other type of recovery or fastboot mode, no matter what button combinations i do. I previously could get to the fastboot mode, but i was still stuck so..... I made the very wise choice of relocking (since i hadn't tried that) my device, and now I can't even access fastboot (nothing. tried every button combination i can think of). So I am sitting here wondering if this is the end of the journey with my... relatively new phone... So, yes. No way of accessing anything and my phone is in a reboot loop i can't stop. Only thing is the error code i get "ERROR!":

"Func NO : 16 (lpm3 image)"

"Error NO : 1 (security verify failed!)"

Is there hope? or no?

Also noticed the light flashes green 3 times then red 1, then continues this pattern. Idk if that's useful or not.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Kimuchuu:
Here's a pic.

It doesn't seem to have fastboot connection here, either.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] XDARoni:
OP were you ever able to fix this issue?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
[MENTION=7013682]Kimuchuu[/MENTION] its not clear from OP had you relocked your bootloader if yes then you cant modify your system you need to have unlocked bootloader inorder to perform system modifications.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Kimuchuu:
Ah. Yes, unfortunately I relocked it. I ended up sending it to service with no hopes of getting it back working, but they sent me a brand new one. So that's that.

I guess I was lucky, but really there was not a single thing I could do at that state.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] netvorCZEK:
You can be really happy that they sent you a new one, but it's not a unique case, in CZ there were few people who had same or similar issue and Repair service gave them new phone too.

I also had this problem, trying to screw around and force a ota update via flash fire onto a modified system... Reached rhe same sddor mode, luckily I was able to manually flash all the partitions back to stock using ADB and finally once all partitions were back in order it allowed me to enter recovery mode and download and install system software threw recovery... Took me about 4 days of non stop tinkering to finally get it working again, I had all but lost hope in all honesty... Thankfully I was persistent and all is well now!

But did you try the first option in erecovery?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] oberfeldwedler:
No success

Then i tried to unlock my bootloader but got ERROR MODE again...

I'm letting the battary drain so i can enter eRecovery. Hopefully dLoad works.

By the way does anyone know whats the difference between Recovery.img an recovery2.img?

I remember flashing one of them before relocking my bootloader.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Then dload is your next choice.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Recovery is the one which installs ota updates . Erecovery is an emergency recovery. It can help u restore ur phone to previous version by flashing full original firmware
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] oberfeldwedler:
I got it back to work....

I dloaded the rollback update.app

and then the real stock software

I think the thing that saved me was that i flashed stock recovery before having the glorious idea of relocking the bootlaoder.

So for anybody:

If ur device is not working DO NOT LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Well , great that unbricked and your last line , it is to be in bold . Thanks for it. Headsup:victory:
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
yup thats the main point if you are not fully stock and soft bricked you are not advised to lock your bootloader. Once you locked your bootloader you can no more modify your system.

How did you get into erecovery after draining your battery ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
May be he drained full battery so it gets powered down . Later he charged and reboot to erecovery by key combinations
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] parleyp:
This is how I was able to fix mine...let the battery die, recharged then I was able to get to fastboot. I was unlocked so I manually flashed the partitions from fastboot which let me into e recovery and get the phone back. I flashed the marshmallow partitions. Fyi mine failed after the rool back package. I did this as a last resort even though I had an approved return...was waiting for the shipping label and thought it can't hurt to try.

Brought a jabra bt8010 and all is working fine, the only issue i have is that the screen will not go off.... Even when you press the off button quickly to turn it off it comes straight back on. This only happens when the Jabra is connected to it.

Anyone one got any ideas
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] zomig:
Problem solved, it appears that there was a tweak i had applied to not go to sleep when within a call, when the Jabra is connected it must think that it is always in a call so the screen never goes off. Just reversed this tweak and now the screen goes off and stays off.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jym04:
Well, I don't have a BT headset but never seen people having this issue. I think reversing that tweak is just a workaround, there must be another way to make it turn off automatically. Hopefully someone better informed will answer to this.
