Has anybody in here bought or used the Coolpad X7? I've been searching for a rom or rooting method for this phone and there's nothing.
Here is a link to the phone specs.

Eiahhh, I also have a Xiaomi Mi4 and in order to install Google on that I went into Xiaomi's store from the phone app and installed/searched for google installer. Maybe try that.
I don't have my phone yet, wonder what to expect of it. Hardware and software seems good, done a nice bit of research on it.
to buy or not to buy
I'm very interested in this phone. Love the form factor and OLED screen. The only thing I'm worried about is the support for the phone. Like you mentioned, we seem to be the first ones talking about it and there doesn't seem to be any information about rooting, ROMs or simply reviews by other people. I'm also wary after a similar-ish phone(umi zero) encountered LOTs of issues after people received them.
If someone could disprove my concerns then I would buy it instantly.
Well there is a coolpad site for support of the phone and I will have Warranty from oppomart where I bought it, but development seems to be nowhere to be found.
www.coolpad.com/en/service.html
Must be forums somewhere for this phone.....
meh
Think I'm going to get it anyways
Cool UI looks bearable but not that polished. Hopefully can find a way to root it.
@Rod, if you could post impressions once you receive yours, that would be fantastic.

Yeah I will. Mine shipped yesterday so I should have it later this week. Paid for expensive shipping. (still cheaper than me shipping something from states......crazy.)
Found a link that knows dazen x7 a little.

Ordered the mediatek variant. Think the snapdragon sale was a scam...
Will receive in about 12 days...
The phone is also getting released in India so there has been a surge in interest from the indian phone reviewers.
Rooting the device doesn't appear to be a problem but like you said, there doesn't seem to be any ROMs for it.
Yeah I seen talk about the Snapdragon but never seen one or heard of it being built.
Hopefully when the phone gets over to India some Roms will come out. I hear coolui is supposed to be nice though, especially the 6.0 version that's coming soon
Found some more ino on this phone. I think this is firmware and usb drivers, but not sure til i get my phone next week to see what model it is.

Just found this site diearthelloverat. There IS a Snapdragon version, maybe not released from China yet.
http://www.coolpad.com/goods/3571.html
I actually did purchase the snapdragon version.
Will arrive in about 10 days.
Good for you. ?. I wonder what one got the better performance.....
Finally got my x7
Ordered the Snapdragon version. Has 800 not the rumored 801
2.7 gb of ram
Most importantly, Google Services doesn't work on the phone. That means I can't use Google Play Store, Gmail or Snapchat and any other apps that require Google Services.
Also, my sim card fails to register! At the same time, even though the language is set to English, large chunks of the phone is still in Chinese. The provided apps are also all in Chinese making management of the phone difficult. In short, unless I can find and flash the Indian Coolpad x7 rom(which has full english support and has Google Services), I can't use this phone and will have to return it.
I caution anyone looking into this phone. At least, don't buy the Snapdragon version...

I also have Snapdragon version. It is easy to root it and install GMS. Everything you can do by phone menu. GMS you can install from Accesibility - Install GMS for trial. And root can install from preinstalled Coolpad security tool, little more difficult, as it is on chineese, I cannot post the link because of system rules, if need, send me PM

anyone found custom recovery cwm or twrp for mediatek version? or any root method? i test king root kingoroot iroot and ... but i can't gain root access pls help me

I got a Chinese version of a HTC smartphone from my fried as a gift, while the phone does support English, it doesn't come with Play Store or any gapps. Which I planned to install a custom ROM with better international support.
The problem it that the phone model is simply identified as S610d without any othere names, I don't even know if this is a China only phone that's not sold in anywhere else, or it's just a globally available phone with different ROM/BB.
If there're not custom ROM available, can I root it just like other HTC phones?

Hey I think you already got your answer.
This phone is also called "HTC Merge" or "HTC Lexikon".
I haven't found any information if it is possible to use custom roms for both of these phones to apply it with this specific Chinese exclusive version.
But it definitely would give you more freedom in order to get the Google Play Store or more.
Is anyone feeling adventurous enough to test this out? I'm interested in having lollipop, but I'm always skeptical of a site I've never seen before.
http://www.lollipopupdate.xyz/tag/samsung-galaxy-mega-6-3-sgh-i527-lollipop-rom
I am not sure about that site either. I looked at http://www.lollipopupdate.xyz/tag/oppo-a31-custom-rom, because i got a OPPO A31 from my friend who came back from china, i am try to figure out how to install google play store. but after installation, and try to run google play store. it will crash all the time, as original rom don't support google play. since it is a model is for mainland china only, therefore there is not international roms either. I am still trying to figure out how to make google play store to work.
In the steps it keep mention to download apps from google play store, which is impossible with original rom. also OPPO use Color OS, which is not mentioned at all. so i doubt the site is legit. I mean the steps don't seems legit at all, because if it is legit it should tell you how to make google play store work first.
also on the top of page it mention inspire by xda-developers.com, but I can't find a single post about OPPO A31 here at all.
Thank you. I'm with you. There seems to be no supporting documentation as evidence that this method works. As far as I know we're still stuck with KitKat and Xposed as our only options, right?
Thanks for replying so long ago, and I apologize for my late reply. I happened across it while googling to see if we had a lollipop option yet.
If you're trying to get the playstore to work you may need a gapps (Google apps) package to install. I know very little on the topic at this time. I quit tinkering with my phones a year or so ago due to business needs, but now I'm getting antsy again. Gapps should be what you need for the playstore apk to work, but I'm not sure what version you would need or if that's the actual issue you're facing.
others are happy

I have tried installing gapps on my Oppo A31 and Google Play crashes constantly. Have any of you managed to install a different ROM on this phone? Maybe something based on ParanoidAndroid, as they seem to support many other Oppo devices.
Any help will be appreciated,

Hi i hope hope someone can clear a few things up for me i am a bit confused is this the correct forum for mate 10 pro as well as normal mate 10. I have recently purchased mate 10 pro and could not find mate 10 pro in devices i only found this forum. Also in the development section there are not many roms which i find a bit strange because the phone is not very new. Hope someone can help.

I believe that you are new here and don't know that the huawei phones would not enable us to install stock roms and we are not able now to unlock the bootloader anymore for free lol.
So there is no custom roms dear
Wtf how am I supposed to unlock the bootloader then I need more information quickly so I can cancel my purchase. Is it impossible to unlock bootloader now

Depends on your firmware. If Security Patch is June or later you won't be able to, at least not if you're on C432.
If you are on security patch may or earlier you will be able to use HCU client to get unlock code, but it's paid.
I can only confirm that it's not possible to get unlock code on C432B145+, I can't confirm for other cust but it will most likely be the same.
Edit: if it's a brand new phone it will likely come with factory firmware, unless the shop you bought it from updated it.
Even if I was able to unlock think it's likely that development will be very limited would I be right in thinking this.

I wouldn't say "limited" it depends what your looking for, obviously the best device development is for OnePlus and Pixels imo, but we still have RessurectionRemix, LineageOS, CarbonROM & OmniROM, that's 4 pretty recognisable ROM's :good:
Link to ROM's : https://openkirin.net/download/
To be honest, I had my first Mate 10 Pro rooted, and apart from an Ad blocker and YouTube Vanced there wasn't much I felt any need to install. Now Vanced can be installed without root, and Ad Blocker can run on various browsers, I don't see much point.
The Mate 10 Pro is a brilliant phone, I'm seriously considering selling my S9+ and going back to the 10 Pro - the battery life was far better, and I think the camera was better. I also hate the bent sides on the screen on the Samsung. Only thing I might missis Samsung Pay, but I'll just go back to contactless card.
Thanks to you guys and some further reasearch i was able to reach out to the person on ebay i had bought the phone from and cancel the purchase after explaining the situation with bootloader. I am still reeling from Huwaweis decision to stop bootloader unlocking and hope they one day reverse this decision. I really had my heart set on the mate 10 for obvious reasons but possible lack of bootloader unlock is just a no no for me on my current phone a xiaomi mi6 i regularly change roms and kernels sometimes twice a week so i certainly could not live with being stuck on Mui with no possibility of modifications xposed etc. And i did not want to take the risk of buying to only find out that the bootloder had been patched or something and id be stuck.
So now i have turned my attention to either the oneplus 5 or perhaps galaxy s8plus. Again thanks for your help guys.

Would it be just easy as flashing USA or Europe firmware to get rid of the Chinese region??? I think that’s what you would need to do. Just make sure you get it confirmed from someone or speak to manufacture of the phone ring them up or email them!

I thought Odin would be a way download firmware and flash away ? Sorry I’m a Samsung fanboy! I don’t know why I answered for, as I don’t even own an p20 pro or any Huawei devices.. Google and YouTube is your best friends I’m sure you will find a solution! Here check out this vid from quick Google search it should answer your issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZQdpD0oeoM

Are you from India ?
You got this phone from China into india ?
Which website have ordered?
Any custom duties or taxes you paid for delivery?
Waiting for your answer. .as I'm also gonna order Mate 20 X
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
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?
http://i.imgur.com/KfOQDZ8.jpg
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.
