I know the Huawei S7 is a old version which on sale last year But i don't know the IDEOS S7.. Are they the same one? Or not, Which one is better? I think the IDEOS is better. I saw the SPEC. But,Their accessories are interchangeable it?

There are a few variants of the 'original' S7 and the more recently released S7 Slim. First has a resistive screen second has a capacitive.
It is rumoured that they are identical inside so any accessories (should they appear!) will work on both.
Just make sure you have Android 2.2.2 or above.
I really hope the slim gets accesories but the support from huawei is horrible so i wouldnt hold my breath

I thought they were both the same? IDEAOS that is.. Only new one was the slim?
I was thinking about getting a Huawei tablet. They're relatively cheap and I'd think they'd be alright for general use. Was doing some research and they're different? Have they been rooted yet?
Yes, i rooted mine half an hour ago infact! I did a writeup sometime ago, however i cant post it due to low post count, or post links so info is lost!

Rooted and upgraded to Android 2.2.2 (Froy) they become a great tablet.
Unlocked ROM, flash enabled, 1gHz CPU unlocked, Apps2sd, more sensitive screen, OTG support for USB host, and cheap!
Can you tell me how you did it?
Hello,
I recently got an S7 Slim. It is a great device, especially for the price point. My only complaint is that the BB version does not come with an active SIM slot. Who knew?
Can you tell me how you rooted your Slim? I have tried oneclick z4 and universal and have not been able to get access.
Thanks

What do you mean? The BB version's SIM slot is fully active.
However the baseband radio firmware that ships with the device has SEVERE bugs that cause the cellular radio to fail in many circumstances. For me, the device only worked in towers with the same area code as my SIM.
The Froyo (2.2) ROMs had new baseband firmware that fixed most if not all of these problems. USA customers never officially saw them, but the Indonesian 2.2 ROM works well on our devices - look at joenilan's ROM in the Development section, it has a link to the Indo 2.2 update.
Edit: Sorry, ooops, missed that you had a Slim and not the original S7. Yeah, I don't believe the Slim has any 3G capability.
Thanks for the response, I also figured out how to root my device successfully! What should I do next?

I just picked up a Wintec Filemate Identity 7 inch tablet with Froyo 2.2 installed on it. I have rooted the device using Z4root. I am now trying to figure out if there are any Gingerbread roms that I could install on this tablet. Any information you guys/gals may have would be great, if you could share.
I have searched all over the Internet trying to find any roms, including all over XDA-Developers, and I am not finding to much at all.
Would this tablet be the same as the Z9 Blade? I know its the same as the Enspert Identity tablet. The version I have is not the Light, its the regular model with the full Arm Cortex A8 1 ghz processor.
Thanks,
Bryan
Any body got any ideas on this?
I'm looking for the same thing. I'm also rooted with z4root and haven't been able to find a single piece of anything as far as development on this device. I'll favorite this thread and post any info i find. If you find anything post it here. I'm sure there are plenty of others out there looking for the same thing. This is a really nice device and i got it from Walmart for less than $200. I hope some of my favorite devs pic this one up. Have you figured out anything as far as a custom recovery for this device?

Everywhere i look it says it's a Samsung capacitive based tablet. Does this mean you can flash clockworkmod recovery in ROM manager under Samsung capacitive? I'm scared to try it. Let me know if you do.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I've got a Wintec Filemate coming for the wife and would be interested to know the same thing. This tablet is probably not popular enough for someone to write a ROM for it.
I hope it grows in popularity. It should, it's incredibly smooth and such good quality for the price. I've had quite a few tablets from Walmart and took them all back because of lag and freezing issues. I was really surprised when i got this one and it functioned so well. We need someone to donate one to one of these good devs on here. I wish i had them means to do it.

Thanks for the root guide. Are there any ROMs that can be loaded on this device?
Just poking in to say that I, as well, own this device and am curious if there's a Gingerbread rom somewhere out there for it. The device is advertised as being "2.3 ready" so if anybody knows exactly how to make that happen, I and the other people and the thread would be very grateful.
RE: Roms
I searched high and low and no roms or even recovery is available for the Filemate Identity tab.
These e201u tablets are actually made by Enspert out of Korea. Wintec just puts a sticker over the Enspert name and resells them at a higher price. I bought 4 of them as xmas gifts for a steal at $129 each (on black Friday) from dynamism.com. Not a bad tablet at all once it's rooted. Nice to see others feel the same way. It would be sweet if a new rom could be made as they are running Froyo 2.2. The identitytab.com site has the kernel.tar and e201.img file available if that would help anyone out there.
nothing yet anyone??

Hello guys,
I ordered this phone from one of our major stores here in Romania-EUROPE after deciding that the mt2 is the best solution for me. I WAS REALLY amazed to find that it has KITKAT out of the box. I mean, before deciding to buy it I researched online and found out it came with Jellybean but for some reason this one came with KITKAT. Since then, I found out here are several models of the MT2. Found out mine was MT-L02. The box it came with looks WAY different then the one in the US.
I think this was made specifically for Europe, or some countries that uses slightly different frequencies. Does any1 else have the L02 ?? Will this get updated to KITKAT? I still don't know if there are any other differences...
Any information is welcome.

As you said, there are several models of the same phone. If you do some searching you can get the differences.
Did you mean to ask if it will be updated to Lollipop? (As you stated, it already has Kit-Kat.) Yes, it is supposed to be updated to Lollipop.

Thanks, yeah, I was referring to Lolipop. So weird some models have Kitkat while some only have JellyBean. I guess they all have the same hardware. Still dont understand why the choose to update only some when the ROM is already available, only some minor ajustments for every model i guess

Hi,
i bought a Lineagoo T8s phone.
I really like it, it's fast and had a good price. I jus thught i try it to buy directly in China.
I can't see if there is any bloatware, it seems just like a ROM without bloatware.
Anyway i would like o know if there is or if someone is working on a rom for this device?
Previously i used my Samsung S2 to update to Android 7. But the usb connector is defective. Soldering the pins is no longer an option.(i could buy a new connector but...)
THanks for any guidance.

Well, there are a lot of devices here and there, especially in China, that have a lot of alternative brands.
The problem is that often, the Brand doesn't release what we call the Kernel source, with which we can build a ROM, or TWRP (or another recovery).
So I'll advice you to search for those before buying, if you're interested in buying a new phone, knowing that well known brands often provide the kernel source.
You can even base your future phone on what you see on the XDA "Top" devices.

Merci,
that's a good tip for next time.
I also had a WIko Jerry in between, Wiko provides the Original ROM, Don't know if that's enough. Never saw i here, but probably because it was a louzy phone and when it was released not so known yet.
Thanks for your answer.

You're welcome man
I didn't some research. It seems I have to unlock the bootloader first. Which means I need a code. And I have to buy a code from here?
https://www.dc-unlocker.com
Does this still work? The guide is over a year old.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/how-to/bootloader-unlock-guide-t3781275
Any advice would be appreciated.
Yes but you need to downgrade the firmware (<8.0.0.136 or similar, i cannot remember exactly) . Because they have fixed, with latest versions, a backdoor used by dc-unlocker to get the bootloader code.
Cheers

Hmm. This is interesting. I actually haven't opened it yet. It's still sealed in the box. Just in case I had to return it. So there's a chance that it could be at a low enough firmware.
I remember i get the code with the 8.0.0.86 firmware, but check the right thread (here) to find the last one to get the code.

Cool. Thanks. So I need to buy number 3 from this list?

If you read the forum, the correct item is number 40 "Read Unlock Codes for Huawei Hisilicon Kirin Android phones".
Bye
I just opened it. And it says that my build number is SHT-W09 8.0.0.173 (C567)
So I'm guessing this means it has to be downgraded.
I ended up getting rid of my M3 and never upgraded to an M5 because of not being able to root or root easily. I ended up running the M3 stock for a while and it was a great tablet, but with all the US bans and back doors to your info from Huawei, I got rid of the M3 and had to move to an iPad mini 5. I would have loved a mini pro version, but this will work for now. I liked the media aspect of the M3 and M5, but all the security issues and lack of root I couldn’t do it anymore. Not to mention there isn’t much other there that are good 8” tablets on the market.

... especially because the iPad is so easy to root ...?
we all know jail breaking an iPad isn’t easy, if it is even possible anymore. Most of the reasons to root an android have better applications than a jailbreak on iOS. I like android tablets a lot more than iOS, but the 8” tablet sector isn’t great anymore. Last great one was the Samsung tab s 8.4 that I thought hit all the marks. I’m just saying I like the M3 and wanted to get an m5 but there are way too many negatives to that brand and tablet now.
I currently own the US model of this device. I've done some digging in the forums but I never really come up with very much. If anyone could help I'd be willing to try just about anything to get this phone rooted as long as there's a recovery option. I've read in other threads that the European model can be rooted but the US version has no such luck. If anyone has anymore information please post a reply I would love to get a discussion started. Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, yes your appear to be right. I haven't been able to find anything on this device as far as the U.S. version goes anyway. Apparently, the European version has already been rooted with Magisk and an unlocked bootloader. Although no one has said much of anything about this one. I hope there some development soon!!
A shame these dont yet have bootloader unlock etc.. Its a great phone with Awesome specs on it.
I picked up a Like NEw one for 200.00 (u.s. sprint) version. I use it on t-mobile.

Well it has according to the LG website. Didn't try it out yet.
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703
• LG V50S: LMG850EMW/LMG850EMWX for the European market
This is the LG G8X (check your device info).
We'll probably have to wait for Firehose to be released for LG Snapdragon 855 to have any hopes for unlocking on Non EU variants
No bootloader unlock available? Was checking developer settings and was able to turn on OEM unlock. Would really like to see some AOSP ROMs available for this phone.
I am very glad to be getting replies here. However, US models are still unrootable as far as I can tell its not listed for the US region but is listed for EU. So far no new updates. Please keep the conversation alive though!! Need a developer to start cracking down on this device please!
If anyone knows any developer's willing to work on this device I will quite literally give them payment to develop a working root method for this device. No joke. I'm not very sure how much power developers have over this device. But I would really love to find out.

How would I go about doing this? Not all that familiar with Xda honestly. I rooted my old phone thanks to this site but I wouldn't know how to contact any developers on this subject.
A shame that this high end phone does not yet have root/rom. (in u.s.) You can pick these up fairly inexpensively (on ebay..as I did)
Hope LG is able to get bootloader unlocked one day or I may have to go back to Xiaomi / Oneplus
I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Well considering this same device is rooted it would likely mean that eventually we will have something. It might take awhile however. The EU version is definitely rooted and even compatible with Magisk having an unlocked bootloader is fantastic. Especially in this time. However since our country is a bit more controlling when it comes to phone data we may not see one until this device is obsolete. Meaning that LG will have made their money on it and therefore feel safe releasing a bootloader unlock officially..
