QUOTE(samsungXP @ Apr 6 2016, 01:12 AM) Very big different.price also I mean in term of features. Price almost 1.5k differ. I've tested kaw kaw at Celcom Bluecube, in the end decided to skip Mate 8. With Mate 8 will be huge learning curve to be familiar with. Yesterday saw Pre-order of RN3, the insta grab. Temporary phone while waiting my g4 back from sc. QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Apr 6 2016, 08:46 AM) Not to generalise but some Malaysian is freaking lazy and kiasu at times. -10% it is very cheap. For Maybank user only today. Btw, 3gb is fast enough, as I tested on Celcom Bluecube, no 4gb ram available. If I didn't buy RN3, I'd insta buy this too. Good sharing tho. Thanks.

At first Mate 8 was on my top list, after dual sim G4, Vibe x3. My G4 got bootlooped. No good phone for weeks. Now using my wife's mi3.

You don't have to unlock bootloader you only intend to upgrade firmware... I have my titanium backup to freeze unwanted apps that's the reason I choose to root my phone...

Uncle Benny, one question for you... TQ
How are we going to flash to new firmware update if we use TWRP recovery? Do we need decrypted boot image to do so or... ?
Not too clear about this... i.e. if TWRP able to understand update.app?

Do we need decrypted boot image to do so or... ? Not too clear about this... i.e. if TWRP able to understand update.app? All official firmware can only be flash with stock recovery Use app flashify to flash recovery back to stock Use software Huawei update extractor to extract stock recovery from the update.app. just copy the stock recovery.img file to any location in phone You can flash any official firmware on rooted phones This post has been edited by benny888: Apr 6 2016, 01:00 PM

I'm kinda get what you mean. Thanks!
