Ladies and Gents I had the opportunity to compare G3 and G4 Universal devices. I'll try to describe all the differences,lets this be the definitive guide.

The first thing that catch my eye is the display brightness,

-G4 model is in someway less bright

LEFT is G3 and RIGHT is G4

And this is not a LCD difference as I have exchanged the G3/G4 motherboards together.

-Bootloader versions are: 1.x=G3

2.x=G4

-G4 models are using a faster DOC meaning you can achieve stable 630Mhz Cpu speed (some users reporting 670Mhz)

-In some models you can find a G4 text on the device,after removing the battery

-Notification Leds on G4 model are brighter

-LCD case is slighty different

-Flash LED Plastic is more opaque on G3

I did a Spb Benchmark (All devices 2.09.01 BL+ ROM,No SIM,Power AC plugged,SoftReset and run Performance.exe tool only) but I have strange values.

As G3 is performing 630Mhz,this let me consider that this tool is not overclocking at all.

Anyway these are the benchmark results:

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] xDark_:
So what's the deal with it? Can we unlock the bootloader and still be able to send in the phone for repairs if the hardware fails? Or are we SoL if we unlock the BL? Anyone tried doing an RMA or repair with an unlocked BL yet?

HTC Updates Bootloader-Unlock Warranty Messages on Device Pages
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Huigie:
What if you bought the phone before they changed it...
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] EtherealRemnant:
Doesn't matter. The warranty in the box is the one that counts. HTC even covers their backsides in the verbiage of the warranty terms. See number 13. Even if HTC said it was okay to unlock the bootloader on the website, the paperwork in the box is what's legally binding.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I've never had an issue with HTC warranty usually nothing is ever even mentioned about it.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] EtherealRemnant:
It's definitely a YMMV situation. I always S-OFF my devices ASAP so if I have an issue I can just restore it to factory and lock it and HTC never has any proof that I did any modifications (getting your token and using it are entirely different things - they can only prove you got it, not that you used it, if you return it to stock and back to S-ON) but I have heard of many cases where HTC has denied warranty service, especially cases of phones overheating and damaging the screen (unlocked bootloader + burnt LCD is very likely related to someone overclocking their chip while simultaneously using high brightness so I can see why they would reject that) or soft bricks (which are next to impossible to do with S-ON these days anyway). Blown speakers as well.

To be honest though, I haven't needed warranty service on my M7, M8, or 10 though so I don't really worry about it too much. HTC has come a long way from the days of Windows Mobile, the EVO 4G (original WiMax version), MyTouch devices, etc. I had to go through 8 EVOs at the Sprint store before I found one with an acceptable screen and their Windows Mobile devices failed so much that Sprint was constantly forced to upgrade me to the next model. I think I went from the Touch to the Touch Pro to the Touch Pro 2 without ever dropping a cent other than the Touch because of hardware issues. I beat the crap out of my M7, M8, and my 10 (I've thrown my 10 across the room and off the second floor probably 5 times and it has nothing wrong with it other than the defective WiFi module it came with that most people had to deal with).

The point is that HTC can do whatever they choose. The legally binding contract is your limited warranty in the box. HTC tends to be quite liberal with their bootloader policy but they don't have to be and they aren't always. Realistically, HTC is known as a pro-dev company and they generally honor their warranty even after bootloader unlocking but they have to put that verbiage in there for those cases where they decide the damage was a result of the unlocked bootloader giving access to what caused the fault. It's much easier to put a catch all clause in the warranty than to list out every single thing they won't cover on a device with an unlocked bootloader.

It's always a risk, hence why I always get S-OFF. Peace of mind for 25 bucks is worth it to me.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Yes you are exactly right about everything. I've had the HTC One S, M8, M9, 10 and now the U11 and the only one I ever had issues with was the M9, I had 2 of them, one for me and one for my momma. I traded mine in after a year for the HTC 10 but my mom kept hers for a little over a year and the battery went to sh%t. I have the Verizon insurance so they replaced it no problem. My M8 is still running strong without a single speck or blemish on it as well as my HTC 10.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] EtherealRemnant:
Funny you mentioned the M9 battery crapping out. My roommate had an M9 on Verizon as well and the same issue. Won't hold a charge for crap but she went to the iPhone on her husband's T-Mobile plan so it was a moot point. I skipped the M9 because of the SD 810 fiasco just to get a Note 5 with an Exynos that overheated as well. Definitely no more Samsung phones for me. KNOX is a deal breaker. Now that I'm on Mint SIM because I got tired of paying so much for T-Mobile directly for the same plan, I have to buy my phones outright with no insurance or Jump or anything like that so I'm being a bit more careful with my U11 and haven't even rooted it yet. Not til S-OFF becomes available.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] RKDxpress:
When I ordered my phone first week the ad said something like ... Even covers unlocked bootloader ... Thought great! Bought the phone. Got thank you email confirmation asking why I choose the U11. My response was I love the way Htc supports the modding community.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] EtherealRemnant:
HTC has come such a long way that it's unfortunate to see Samsung crush them so hard. HTC took a gamble on Android with the Dream/G1 in 2008. Samsung didn't hit the scene with their first until 2009 after seeing HTC's success. There are two major problems with HTC though - word of mouth about issues on older devices (especially Windows Mobile with HTC refusing to enable hardware graphics acceleration by paying Qualcomm to use the Adreno graphics and poor quality displays in many of their lines and overheating was a common problem with their Android phones like the Sensation which would get so hot using TeleNav it would reboot the phone) causing negative brand recognition and advertising. HTC marketing has always sucked and when they do put out an ad, it's always something forgettable.

You know you're doing something wrong when Samsung still has consumer confidence even after they had to recall their entire flagship due to phones catching on fire!

VPN is irrelevant IMHO. Afaik Samsung goes by your Samsung account. My Samsung account is registered to Germany and can't be changed. I don't think geographic location is relevant for the update.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bewell:
Hey guys,

I was googling for the past few days who else might experience such problem, but I haven't stumbled upon such case. The problem is, I'm stuck on the bootloader part.

The initial goal was to root the device, so:

- I unlocked the bootloader,

- installed clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7

- wiped everything

- when I try to install SuperSU & new ROM I'm getting errors like

Can't mount /cache/recovery
Can't open /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc (No such file or directory)
Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

and a few other errors in this fashion about cache.

When I actually run the

abd sideload aicp_flo_n-12.0-UNOFFICIAL-20161020.zip

the installation tries to mount folders like /data but gets an error.

Finally it says

E1001: Failed to update system image
Installation aborted

Is there a way to re-format everything to FAT using fastboot and then begin everything from scratch? I have a feeling this is filesystem problem that it can't read properly or something... Maybe I'm wrong? What would be your suggestions?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] varun5833:
I had a similar issue on mine a few days ago. I was completely stock and wanted to unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then finally a custom ROM. I was successfully able to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery (latest TWRP). But, when I tried to boot into recovery, it went past the recovery logo and then showed me errors like yours inside the recovery and rebooted. It then automatically booted into the recovery, showed the same errors and rebooted again. I wasn't able to do anything apart from booting into bootloader by sending an adb command.

Now coming to the part which fixed my errors. What I did was used the "fastboot -w" command (without the quotes) while I was in bootloader to wipe everything and after that, flashed the recovery again. Then I was able to successfully boot into recovery and everything has been fine since then.
