The sandisk warranty really work.. Got 1 to 1 exchange from Vector Digital today.. Just 5 minutes deal..

Now I got extra new 64gb sandisk Ultra.. Who want this? Cheap2..

Depend on what you wish to use it for. There is never any best phone/tablet ; only diehard fans will claim theirs is the best
I would say the Tab is more suitable as a tablet than as a phone. The X1 fits both phone n tablets needs nicely due to its reduced slim bezel making it more pocketable.
Basing on specs the Tab has an edge. I have no experience using or even touching it yet.
The Tab costs about rm500 extra vs the X1
Only you can decide which meet your needs better
And is true Samsung updates are often faster n more frequent.

bvannier : further to noobi3 posts above : here are pics to show

Fastboot mode ( vol up + power button)

[attachmentid=4145254]

Flashing in PC using fastboot

[attachmentid=4145257]

Recovery mode ( vol down + power button)

[attachmentid=4145259]

If you had problems booting using those buttons use the app QUICKBOOT ( need root) and choose bootloader for fastboot mode and Recovery for recovery mode

And please don't say you are old !! I am old too, touching 60 years soon !

China 503l doesn't seem to support local LTE bands ( 1800, 2600 mhz) n easily check their specs on the web
Some users here are using it n perhaps they can clarify
You can only flash 503L rom or 503L custom rom n not 501L rom simply the LTE hardware is different between them
Is already soo cheap here n why even bother to buy China version?
And he need install CWM to flash set of google app which is absent in China set

I have both malaysia 7d-501L and China 7d-503L set with me. Both work fine here. The china set, 7d-503L lte work here, I have tried with Digi LTE, Umobile LTE and Maxis LTE. All work with no issue. So no worry buying China set, except warranty and need to manually install google services.

I have also change my local set 7d-501L firmware to 7d-503L firmware and it work fine. I have been using it for 2 months.

No problem using 64gb card...why would you think it cannot. Intact practically all the newer phones these days can support up to 64gb

Not necessary to have these as this was on very much earlier firmwares

I just flashed to China ROM 7D-503LV100R002C208B009
The changes are subtle. Phone is beautified a lot

CWM does not have the code to trigger OTA update. You need to reflash stock recovery for any official ROM updates.

One method I can think of, but haven't tried, is to extract the update.app and repack as a CWM image. I suspect this can be done using the HuaweiUpdateExtractor and a CWM packager.

Use app flashify to backup stock recovery n restore it when necessary
Or flash the stock recovery image using fastboot command

B102 which is best firmware to date. Why would you want to downgrade back to a poorer firmware ??
