[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chenguito:
Hi guys, been reading you from long time ago, just signed in today.

Got my X3 from China via Taiwan, not aware that buying in Asia got the chinese version ROM, quite a problem! Nobody knows how to unlock bootloader nor rooting it. I like the idea somehow not to be chased by google screwing my privacy but, theres lot of stuff the phone can't do without normal GLOBAL rom.:crying:

The phone runs flawslessly, it's fast, smooth, got 286819pts in Antutu without tweeking at all (no root, not touchable)

Been searching to flash a global rom with no look, agm support no response it's a shame though still love the unit.

Right now I am trying to make a Nand Backup, but there's lot of writings on the net, some say yes to nandroid backup without root, others no, rooting is a must to nand backup, my head is an italian spaghetti. I just wanna a copy of the stock rom backuped just in case.

For someone asking how the phone comes, in my case it came complete, JBL BT headphones, gamming pad, the floating case in case you wanna play on water or it falls into the lake when fishing, and of course a qualcomm quickcharge 3.0 supercharger with its type C cord.

I know this is the X2 forum but couldn't find X3 dedicated one, sorry for that.:o

Will keep on reading, looking forward to backup the stock rom and someday flash the global version.

Sorry for my stinky english haha!

It was awhile back that I did it, the phone is my daily driver and I was nervous AF about the site as well, I flashed back to my stock after messing around with it a bit. I looked around and I found the flash from the site. I put the files up here

this is my first time sharing content so let me know if the links dont work. If i remember right, the T90 overseas is the stock rom and the other is the Custom Rom.

you tried AGM support?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Chenguito:
Hi tukes, they didn't even answered at all, neither china nor UK...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tukes:
sorry for the late respons, been gone for a while.

you can try facebook or other social media.

or just try again :)

i know the support from agm is not (that) good...

Just for the benefit of the next person trying to do this - you also need to remove the top hex-head screw that secures the microphone jack cover. This retains the back cover on the top as well.

I'm also having problems with dead bluetooth and wifi, if anyone ever came up with a solution please let me know.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
does anyone here have the rom itself, in case our experiments go awry :)

I have asked AGM support a couple of questions (the rom file being one of the questions). The rom file is not posted on their service portal (yet)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
Forgot to ask but what kind of heavy sign vinyl did you use for it? Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westwind76:
I'm an aircraft mechanic and have some clear rubberized chafe tape for airplanes, I'll be using it for the back of the phone when I receive it. I have used it before and it works well, I still have a piece on my old iPod touch 1, Its about 10 years old.

I could ship you a few inches for a couple of dollars, PM me if your interested.

does anybody knows when finally the damned android 7 will come for agm x1? waiting since april no info!!!! thats grrrrrrrrrrr
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westwind76:
Got my X2 on Thursday. So far not a bad phone. I'm using Nova Launcher on it as I did't like the stock one. Only issue I have is with the camera, I was hoping for something better. It seams very grainy and the 4k video is not available through the stock app. I'm trying out a few different camera apps to see if I can get better performance. Any one know how to get less grainy image out of this camera? Also the button bellow the volume keys should activate the camera when phone is locked, this was working but now for some reason all it will do is wake the phone, any one know how to get this to work again?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tukes:
tried AGM support myself regarding bootloader unlock, but no luck so far...

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

i use 'a better camera unlocked' as second app, because of the same ideas...

=> snap camera, full version, came instead, testing this one now!

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

sry man... you tried AGM support?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
would suggest you make your own thread about the AGM X1 to be honest. This thread is about the X2, your comment will get drowned I am afraid
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
Thanks I am trying out this camera app. Looks more solid than the standard camera app indeed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tukes:
I'm now testing snap camera...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
I got my phone, and I have to say I like it so far. Responsive, insane battery life. I can definitely second the camera feel. Tukes is making some good suggestions, and maybe we can come to a consensus when it comes to a better camera app.

I have the same issue with the physical camera button, it does not work for me anymore. Will play around and see if I can find a solution (did not bother me too much so far to be honest).

On the note of the backpanel, I can now understand what people were saying before. Even though this is supposed to be a rugged phone, I feel that I am treating it more carefully than my S4 mini (which has had some rough times with me).

Installed the Nova Launcher, and I also like it a lot more than the default one.

Hope that with a few engaged people in this thread we can find the best solutions for this phone together :)

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

Which one do you like better thus far?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tukes:
for now i'm using snap camera (full version)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
after playing around with Nova Launcher I got it to work again, but the thing is that there is a bit of a latency. Try to keep pressing the button (not just a quick press) and see if that works for you.

Will try to retrace my exact steps to reset the button to my new camera app.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westwind76:
Got the camera button to work, every time I try a new camera it changes the button association, when picking any camera link you need to tell the phone to always the the new camera if it has to ask which camera to use it will get stuck on the lock screen

Here's the response I got from AGM after asking about how to unlock the bootloader:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tukes:
i got the same answer few weeks ago

i also send a mail to twrp and kingroot, to check on the X2

the X1 worked out fine, so....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
If we can get TWRP on it, we could use Magisk I assume. Keep us posted, and thanks for asking!

Not touching Kingroot though. Too much spyware red flag
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alique01:
For TWRP, we are going to need to unlock the bootloader. The fastboot oem unlock command does not work as AGM or the manufacturer uses a different command to unlock the bootloader. AGM support doesn't want to help with telling us the command.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
Have you tried the method for the AGM X1? Quick google found this amongst other links: http://solved5g.blogspot.de/2017/02/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-and-root_96.html
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] allincheung:
Where did you guys get this phone from? I saw Coolicool selling at $489, it is quite affordable, right?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
I got mine through https://thesolutionshop.global/ which I can highly recommend if you live in Europe. Not sure about US (although they deliver there).

Keep in mind that you might get slammed with import taxes (not sure about US). The link above takes care of that, so no extra surprises.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Westwind76:
I ordered one from TomTom then found they don't stick the phone and I would have to wait about a week before they could ship. I cancelled that order and ordered again from chinavision. Paid an extra $8 and received the phone in there days. Paid about $600 Canadian
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tukes:
does not work, i did some research on the adb commands and tried them all

nothing works, and as said above, AGM is not working along :-s

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

anyone else tried to change there dpi?

no issues so far... :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alique01:
I tried many commands as well, none of them work. Its possible to get magisk without unlocking the bootloader but for that we need the boot.img file.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

I found that the best DPI for this device is 403ppi. Stock dpi is different and makes everything larger. In order to change the dpi to 403, use this command in adb:

adb shell wm density 403 && adb reboot

This doesn't require root and stays even if you restart the device. It makes everything look much nicer.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tukes:
I got my dpi on 360 now.. No issues here
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tukes:
regarding the boot.img file, check; https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443994
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alique01:
To get the boot.img ourselves we have to unlock the bootloader. If AGM provides the boot.img then its possible to patch it to install magisk without unlocking the bootloader.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

I think I found the ROM:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alique01:
I managed to extract the boot img and patch it but it doesn't let me modify the one on the device. Were going to need to find out how to unlock the bootloader. Ill try bugging AGM on how to do it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
Is that the default one then?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] iggypl:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tukes:

---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

You should ask AGM I guess... But I do hope so

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

Keep up the spirit and stay in touch

No pressure, a whole community is waiting for this ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
Great job!

Would be great if you could describe how you did it so we can all learn something.

I am also bugging some resellers of AGM if they can assist with a how to for the bootloader unlock.

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

Just to understand better, what is your reason for putting it to 360?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tukes:
for me it's about readability

with 480 everything is too big on the screen
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
ah now I see, DPI is not used correctly on android machines. It's about density.

So indeed the higher the "DPI' the bigger items are on the screen.

Thanks for pointing me towards this non-intuitive thing in the Android world :)

Learned something new, but I have to admit I had to actually search for it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tukes:
You learned something new, that's the idea about forums and communities... So we have to keep on going ?

Could anyone cun google play on AGM X successfully?

Even if I install google service ,I can't use google play.

I don know why, did the device sell in china use the blocked OS which can't use google play?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] iggypl:
I have AGM X2 and everything is OK with google play.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Thebrynn:
same here, works fine for me. Used a European/International reseller to buy it from though.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hugenoize:
Yes, the Chinese government requires all cell phones sold in China to block Google services. So if you bought it in China, you can't use Google, unless you flash the international rom. Do you want it?

android 8 on AGM X2??

"anonymous": the question to AGM by mail: they replied me that X2 will not have android 8 update, and looks like in their philosophy there is not OS updates on their devices, and this is a sad news also for me that I'm planning to buy the X2. By the way they started to reply to the emails, and is a bull**** that they are on bankrupt. They will be present on the MWC of Barcelona on 26 February till 1 March 2018 as written on their website: http://www.agmmobile.com/en

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PacoBell:

It is total sucks that a hyper-super rugged phone has a glass back and it has need rugged case to protect it. I was thinking strongly to buy one, but the sucks software support and the glass back dissuaded me...and of course the very high price. I rather buy a water resistent phone with rugged case. You can buy already a Galaxy S8 Plus Dual SIM (IP68) in this price or a Oneplus 5t, wich is moderately water resistent ( just check the water tests in youtube), and put it to a rugged case. It is sucks you can't buy a good rugged phone. There are some quite good rugged phones, f.e. Dogee S60 , but with MediaTek processors, and much cheaper. Dogee's softwares are not buggy, but usually has preinstalled adwares, so it is also sucks.

Impressive

I got mine today (64GB/6GB version leather back) and very impressed, feels very solid. Screen is very nice, it has a multicolour indicator light (which is not mentioned in the specs) and it also looks like it supports wifi AC (i got approx 160MBPS on speedtest).

Screen bezel is a bit sharpisch, Camera very good so far i tried.

I also allready did a silly thing, Becouse i tried to enable the Volte option in the service menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and when i poked around and saw the radio band i saw a choice of United states, DCS, or Cellular 800, and i tried those options. But now i can not get 2G working again. I found a solution via ADB fastboot, but this doesn't work becouse the device is locked. Fortunatly the SIM2 slot does still work, but now i can't use a micro SD card :(

Maybe in the future a ROM comes available so i can reflash the phone.

Also hope there will be an Oreo update for this phone soon.
