[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dimapoter:
That's a serious red flag. Make sure you flash every possible firmware from the stocks here...

But if I were you, I'd return it and get it retail properly. Ali Express is notorious for vendors that put spyware and other ****e on their phones prior to shipping.

I got a proper Redmi Note 5 Plus (Vince) once, and retail was supposed to have a locked bootloader in the same fashion as this phone. On Redmi 5, however, there was an even cooler known problem where they would keep people's bootloaders locked, but flash malicious firmware using a testbed by taking the phones apart. So people would receive their Redmi 5's from Ali Express bugged and they would have to wait out those weeks to unlock it and flash clean images.

On an unrelated note, I did use an exploit on that MIUI version by creating two accounts, logging off, signing off, I don't remember. But I unlocked the bootloader the day I got my Vince. I'm not sure if this will work anymore. Not that I needed to. Again, I would never get a phone of Ali Express.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] zaqm:
I don't know about spyware but they mainly unlock the bootloader on china variant to flash the global rom and sell it as a global variant. Later the user receives an update notification and installs the update and voala you get your device bricked.:(
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dimapoter:
Yes, once in a while they do it just for the sake of putting on a "better" ROM. Some of those Ali Express Note 5's reportedly came with even beta ROMs.

I'm saying just to exercise caution, is all. But a different ROM that would receive the wrong OTA sounds just as bad. :( I've never even thought about that scenario...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spikesmonster:
Fortunately, that has not been the case and I've been able to install several updates to the global rom since purchasing.

HTC U11 aOS 8 Oreo.

Sierra on the Mac.

When I set up to sync across the 2 devices either all the bookmarks get messed up or just the ones on the desktop.

I've tried a few different sign outs, start from scratch, blah, blah, blah, no change.

Any experience or ideas how to fix?

This was working fine with the same specs, but I had to reset my HTC U11 for something else.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] voodooflux:
Hi there

Can anyone confirm the behaviour of the Diamond when being used as a modem and an incoming call is received i.e. is priority given to the inbound call and the data connection suspended? I plan to make considerable use (several hours per day) of the Diamond as modem but need to make sure I can still receive calls.

Much appreciated.

cheers

v.f.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] happyguy82:
Technically you can't use the Diamond as a modem, but rather you can use it as a 'Router' The way is works is that you initiate an Internet Connection on the phone itself using the 'Internet Sharing' application. This application will use the phone's modem to connect to the Internet and then share it out on a virtual LAN adapter for you. When you connect the phone to your PC, your PC will detect it as a 10 Mbps LAN adapter which would then be connected to your Gateway (phone) to the Internet. So in essence the phone acts as a Router for you. You don't 'dial' the modem connection from your PC as you would with most other phones.

Sharing with data isn't an issue with these newer phones. I can talk on my bluetooth headset while using the Internet connection. This depends whether your Telco in your area supports this multi mode capability or not, but nowdays it works almost everywhere.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] foo:
I can only tell for TyTN, but this should not be a difference:

Receiving a call is possible, also when there is an active data connection.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] voodooflux:
Many thanks for that - it sounds like the device will offer the functionality that I'm after. I'll be on the "3" network - you don't happen to know if they support the multi-mode capability you mention do you?

Thanks again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] happyguy82:
In fact, Internet Sharing + receiving/making calls + browsing on the phone itself all at the same time is possible.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] happyguy82:
I've used my Touch Cruise on O2 UK and Vodafone UK and it works. However it still depends on area. I've once been in an area on Vodafone in which I only had GPRS coverage and then when a call came in it killed the data connection because it didn't support this multi mode.. however I only had this issue very very rarely so it's safe to assume that for a majority of the populated areas in the UK it's ok.

I've not used 3 before :( however I can confirm for you that the 3 Sim card will work in the phone because I've put 1 in before. (3 SIM cards are known to reject a lot of phones)

Hope this helps.

Cheers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] voodooflux:
Cheers, that helps a lot. Even worst case if the data connection is dropped and the incoming call is given proirity then that is more desirable than the call being rejected (i.e. directed to voice mail).

I have a mobile broadband SIM from "3" that I'm going to put in there. The voice tariff isn't cheap, but I don't tend to make a lot of outgoing calls anyway - I'm more of a data user.

cheers

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] happyguy82:
hey Voodoo:

No problems :)

Do you have your Diamond already, if you do could you please help me to check this? :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=402453

Also, I've been told that a 3 'mobile broadband' SIM won't work in a normal phone? Not sure....

Why don't you port over to O2? :P Btw, I read that Orange has also launched HSDPA coverage in the UK...

I've been with Vodafone and O2 and generally O2 has got better coverage and provides more chances of an HSDPA signal getting picked up. Vodafone's coverage is just as good but with more areas giving 'GPRS only'. That just my personal observation. I take the train quite frequently and use the phone as a mobile broadband connection on board.

Cheers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] voodooflux:
I haven't opened mine yet, and after reading about the battery life today I'm sad to say I'm thinking of returning it :(

I'm on an 18 month contract with "3" at the moment, and by the time that expires there should be a lot more choice with respect to data packages hopefully.

cheers

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
The battery isnt really that much of an issue if you disable the gprs auto attach feature in schaps advanced config. I did it last night and my battery is still sitting at about 5 bars and thats with a good few calls, sending a load of sms's and about 30 mins of web browsing.

But i imagine that ill be charging it again tonight...not really a problem as my nokia n95 was the same....always charged it at night whether it needed it or not.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] happyguy82:
I believe the real test will come when one tries to use the Diamond with TomTom 7 installed as a navigation device in a car... bet by the time you reach your intended destination the battery would be dead.. even the Touch Cruise couldn't last half a day with that sorta usage.

It'll probably be wise to keep a 12v to USB adapter in the car handy.

Btw another 'weird' problem with the Diamond is that when I use it with my super mini low quality thin retractable USB cable, the PC doesn't detect it properly although the phone does prompt me whether I want to use it for Active Sync or Disk Drive... very peculiar.. the cable's worked fine for me with my Touch Cruise.... any idea?? I don't want to be carrying thick heavy cables in my laptop bag :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
Its probably the cable, your laptop probably doesnt like it so wont detect theres a phone attached. The supplied USB cable isnt that thick:p...i carry mine in my back pocket:p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] happyguy82:
Thanks Spawn12...

Supplied USB cable IS thick!! fat and stiff!!! not sure if we both have the same ones?? Mine appears to have nice metallic rouded edges plugs on both ends and the cable itself is greyish... round and quite thick... well thicker than a standard USB cable anyway...

point is.. it's not a 'portable USB cable'... if you know what I mean.. to me portable stuff means being as light, small and least bulky as possible while maintaining its functionality.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
Well i have mine in front of me and its the same one you have...maybe im not as fussy:p...it isnt exactly portable or as you said light, small and least bulky. I dont think ive read anywhere that the cable that comes with the Diamond is portable....perhaps try another portable usb cable and see if it works...could be that yours is duff.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] happyguy82:
Hahahah okiee... actually I find the original cable very beautiful and hence I'm just reluctant to take it out and use it coz I don't wanna get it scratched so soon :P

I'll look around for another mini USB cable that works...

I can confirm that. Using my Diamond as a modem/router but also for phonecalls and textmessaging at the same time.

You might have problem if you are on a GPRS connection and are using the internetpart heavily at the time(downloading or equal). But that's just something I believe, can't confirm it yet.. I think that your browser will have connectionproblems and stuff like that but your calls will come through.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Neo Cortex:
Spoke too soon. Went to bed with it working. This morning my Palm tried to connect but failed with the following message "The network is busy, unavailable or data is not enabled." I tried several times thru the day but no joy.

Worked great for my G8+. I guess people should just check which stock ROM file they get from lolinet to make sure it's the right one. I say that because, in my case, lolinet list had two files for the Brazilian stock ROM. I went to Settings / About / Version number and downloaded the matching file. Don't know whether the other file would work the same or not. Just didn't want to risk having any issue since G8+ is somewhat new and there's not much info on solving root problems on the Internet.

Hi,

Couple of questions

Does the Bootloader have to be Unlocked to flash the modified Boot image?

Or can I use update option?

Are Motorola releasing unlock numbers for Bootloader now?

Thanks, Carl
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] Almoxil:
Hello, Carl. I guess it's not possible unless there's a flaw in the security. There are some articles on the Internet about that. Google "is-there-a-way-to-root-an-android-phone-without-unlocking-the-bootloader". I can't post URLs yet.

As for Motorola devices, I was able to unlock the bootloader without problems on my G8+, last week. The only caveat, I'm my case, is that I had to wait some days for the unlock bootloader option be available under developer options. It was disabled by default in my G8+. And, yes, they're releasing bootloader unlocking codes.

but for some reason I can't delete bloatware, even by deleting apps from root browsers or trying few solution I found on google
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] hendrack:
magisk module debloater and also sdmaid helped with most of the bloatware, the only thing I could not remove was google files but I just deactivated it.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] esrd43:
a really weird thing happened with the April 1st update, basically the update started automatically and it failed at 3/6 so I tought I should restart my phone and test it again, but it got stuck in bootloop and I had to reflash a rom with fastboot cmd.

I think that's because I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone, cause u lose the right for updates after you do that, but for some reason lenovo/moto update system goes automatically the next second u connect to the internet and fails halfway thru so u have a higher chance to ruin your phone or something, instead of denying the update from the start

so the solution I found was to try and delete "moto update service" app that I can't force stop or disable but I couldnt find it in system/app or system/priv-app, that's because the app name is "3c_ota", so deleting that with SD Maid app worked and the "update system" option in settings is reverted to a sort of default android one that lets you check manually.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] hendrack:
Had a similiar issue. I soft bricked my phone (bootloop) and installed a stock rom from an unofficial source. The funny thing is, this version did make like 3 or 4 system upgrades to PPSI.29.65-51 without any issue. But the 1st April updated failed to install. I then flashed the official 1st april stock image with the moto rescue and smart assistant. After that, the official ROM tells me my phone is not allowed to do updates because the security of this phone is compromised and I should contact lenovo support :D

Those upates are kinda annoying if they don't work, I guess I'll just completey flash the phone every 6-12 months with the moto assistant.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] esrd43:
yeah you should always have a backup rom that you can download with moto assistant or from lolinet g8 roms (https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/doha/official/)

I also got the same message saying that my phone is compromised ( unlocked bootloader + rooted) and it won't receive any further updates, but I just deleted the "3c_ota" app (the moto update service) which is bad cause if forces automatic updates the second u connect to internet.

I'm not going to touch any further updates or security patches until android 10, which I will attempt to flash via moto assistant
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] methuselah:
I am also getting the same message. Well the thing is before april i had even re-locked boot-loader. But now i can't relock the bootloader. It says device corrupt. As soon as I unlock bootloader, it boots normally. (After april update the phone shows something, oem rollback protection). I used fastboot to flash images.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] esrd43:
I don't think you can bring your bootloader to locked status, after you unlock it and lock it again it will be seen and re-locked

so if you try to re-lock it your phone will be denied to boot yeah, unless you unlock it again
