Hi guys i have seen the sbf thread with different network branded sbf'
But play sell atrix, which firmware is that? is there a retail non network braded for Europe or UK?
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...ed-Mobile-Phone/Product.html?searchtype=genre
Now that we have an unlocked boot loader, why shouldn't there be one we can flash?
A vanilla image would be amazing.
I have an AT&T Atrix imported to the UK and would love a UK Vanilla image.
Thats what i want but i dont think there is.

I plan to buy the RAZR, but if buy a US version here in India, will I get future OS upgrades or will my phone be locked?
I had this same question whilst buying my HD7, the shop dealer showed me a T-mobile HD7 and a regular one. Fearing the fact that it will be locked while upgrading, I bought the regular(local) one. ( there was a good 10k difference between the two.)
And like we all know there are two versions, Motorola Razr and Droid Razr, if I pick the latter, will I not be getting any benefits/upgrades or there will be no problems at all?
Hi
Not relevant to the question you have asked, but I have one question and one point:
Question: How much cheaper are you offered the Droid Razr compared to the regular Razr?
Point:
I had found out re Blackberry, that the new 9930 (CDMA version of 9900) does not work with Vodafone in India as Verizon has put some block on it. Ebay sellers in India state that the 9930 will not work with Vodafone India.
Now, could there be a similar block with the Droid Razr as well?
As to your question, I am sure someone on XDA would post the upgrades as they become available for the Droid Razr, it might not be OTA, but I don't think I have heard of an update that has been released that XDA have not also made available manually.
Let me know if the Droid Razr is significantly cheaper than the Razr. If it is, I don't mind visiting Mumbai to pick it up at a cheaper price.

Hi..
Firstly, the device hasn't hit Indian shores...secondly, like I mentioned, when I wqs going to buy the HD7, the Tmobile was 10k cheaper than the legal/local one... I got my for 28 and the US version was 18k...that's a lot...thirdly you are right, someone would post the update here and I don't need to worry about the warranty, as the phone itself doesn't have any, considering its a US device...i am just wondering if its worth the gamble...
If the price difference is as big as your HD7 experience and I could check out a piece in store before committing my money, I would take the risk in buying a Droid Razr. Rs.10K buys a lot of additional stuff, pays a lot of bills...
(Also subject to no network blocks in India like I had read about the Blackberry 9930).

i honestly doubt there will be any sort of block...just that is shouldnt turn out to be a CDMA..as these type of phones dont have a SIM card slot...yes, agree 10k is a lot, but paying that extra 10k is also a lot of peace of mind.
If something goes awry tomorrow, i know i can screw Motorola's happiness. But if the phone is unlocked/jail broken and a US edition, i can say good bye to that 18k and head to the Himalayas...
Your call, all I wanted to know is that can I have a working/functioning US version here in India...?
Also do you know there is a Driod Razr and a Motorola Razr. Droid ones are for US and the rest are for global..

US version ie Driod Razr is a CDMA device and most networks in India are GSM so i suggest not to go for the US Droid Razr coz CDMA devices are generally locked to their respective networks and Indian CDMA operators wont entertain Verizon devices...

I have to agree. Its safe paying that extra bit. Also, am not planning to buy it anytime now seeing the current chaos of some having the green tint and not others...a couple of months lets say?
Anyone know if any US carriers will be offering the device? I'm with T-Mobile and they have the Xperia Z (a million years after is initial release) and I was wondering if they may follow up with xperia z ultra?

No such information yet.
In fact, I hope that the Ultra WON'T be picked up by a US carrier since it will result in a branded, bloated version with outdated ROM and locked bootloader. The T-Mobile Z is a warning (stuck on 4.1.2 for now, ugly logo on the back, bloatware and locked bootloader) and I would be sad if such a magnificent device as the Ultra would be castrated and humiliated like that.
The Ultra should be experienced as a pure Sony experience. To paraphrase an old Panasonic ad: "Visit Sony Store. Sony all the way. Nothing else."
What I hope for is that Sony will sell the C6806 in their stores since the Sony Store is great. They offer decent financing options too with their Sony Card with different rewards and points for those that doesn't want to pay it outright.
It is time for people in the US to buy devices unlocked, unbranded, bypassing the carriers altogether. What those carriers are doing to their devices is just horrible and sad.
T Mobil
I have the unlocked, unbranded X.Z.U. running T-Mobile and I couldn't be happier!
The only thing is I have to turn off WiFi in order to send picture texts. Why? No one knows!
Look into your MMS settings, that might be your problem.

Wonder why att has their own specific version of cam plus (CBG-720). Hope it's just a super-special at&t logo, not something stupid (like restricting device from working on other g5 models)
http://www.lg.com/us/lg-friends/lg-CBG-720.AATTSV-cam-plus
Verizon/sprint/tmobile/us cellular share same model (CBG-700)
http://www.lg.com/us/lg-friends/lg-CBG-700.AVRZSV-cam-plus
Modules are whitelisted on phones - possible for generic module not to work on att's lg g5
(B&O module imported from Europe will not work on USA models)
Hello, found this out the hard way I have the ATT G5 H820 and bought the T-mobile version of the cam plus. It will not even power on after installing the module. Will be returning for correct version.
That makes no sense to me...Why would you, as a company, make carrier versions of hardware accessories? Is there any carrier branding on the CamPlus?

being consumer-friendly is not a trait shared by some carriers/manufacturers

when you get an AT&T version, bring it to a t-mobile store and try it on a tmobile display phone.....
my guess is that it won't work either
There are time when a carrier request the manufacturer to make parts or accessories for their branded product only by inserting a simply code only phone with the same code that can recognized it.
This is probably the case.
these request usually will cost alot for the companies like At&t to pay LG.
It's stupid. I bought the wrong one too not even knowing there were different models of the same thing. Bunk.
Updating the Post
Well, so far.. THis been a year that this was discussed. I bought a camera module for my phone without knowing about the difference between At&T and other ones... Now I got a brand new Cam module that doesn`t work in my AT&T LG G5...
Do you guys know if it is possibile to bypass that by software? Or install a different firmware on the phone that will allow me to use this module?>
Thanks in advance
I have tossed between buying verizon Moto z or x pure. Saying price is not an issue. I will use it in T-Mobile. Many said x pure is a better phone than z? Is it true?
I don't use verizon, does z have all GSM bands? can I do firmware update using computer when verizon has new firmware come up?
Any comments are welcome.
The verizon Moto Z does not have all GSM bands. If using it on Tmobile, I would say get the Moto X Pure, despite having 'lesser' specs than the Z. Band 12 is important for Tmobile, and the Verizon Moto Z does not have band 12 support.

The Z is a much better phone. The AMOLED screen on the Z looks better and works better with Moto Display. The battery life on both phones is crappy but at least with the Z you have the option to use a battery mod. Really, the only advantages the X has are the headphone jack and front facing speakers. The Z has a fingerprint sensor, Mods, and will likely get the next major Android version.
There is no reason to buy the Verizon version (Droid model) to use on T-Mobile when there is an unlocked version readily available. The unlocked version has all the frequencies you need.

Hi ccheung,
The Moto Z is a better mobile than Moto X Pure. Moto Z has a better processor, more RAM, a good camera, a better display, and so on.
The Moto X Pure is still an excellent mobile, and will likely be a lot cheaper now that the Moto Z is on the scene. If you can afford it, however, you’re most likely going to want to go for the Moto Z.
Thanks

The better choice is obviously the newer phone, especially in its unlocked form.
But if flashing custom firmware is your thing, the Moto X is actually the better bet as there's an active dev community for it. The Moto Z's dev community is still rather quiet.
