Last time quite fast, not sure if it's a new policy of delaying bootloader unlock request to "slow" down sales of China phones outside China. Even a non-developer also could get approval for bootloader unlock in a few days last time Actually, it's now 360 hours for unlock approval

And because this is a China phone, you need to connect to a VPN server based in China to bind the phone to your account for unlocking requests. Same goes for allowing app installs over USB. Quite the pain in the bum-bum, this one

There should be no dent marks at all if you know how to open it, mine is OK even after I DIY the bootloop fix. And please don't update hahaha unless you want the phone to become a doorstopper or waste time re-flashing the phone

same here with same factory and batch. no idea need return or just use it

with proper tools, you wont see any mark left behind from opening the cover. i dont have such tools but i heard a guitar pick is very helpful. just make sure to remove the sim tray before opening the cover.

if you dont mind abit of hassle you can testpoint flash, unlock and flash oficial global rom as described before and in the end you'll still have yourself a bargain.

test point is ok for me but read from china forum many set with this batch and factory face problem hang screen many time in a day . dnt know is firmware problem or hardware problem ? hv anybody here face this problem ?

If you want to DIY-fix a bootlooping phone, can watch this video (not mine). As you can see, it's very simple. Sorry, I tried embedding the video but it resulted in an error, so just click the link to watch it.

if sell cheap boleh pm me

is up to you...

phone belong to you..

from what i understand

if stuck at bootloop need to do flash point

to do flash point need to open your phone cover which will void warranty

thats why emo said the best thing is to return the phone and get from other sellers

but ill wait direct d reply either can send for warranty or else i will return this handphone before 7 days past

It was successful because his bootloader was unlocked, which is highly unlikely in your import set. When bootloader is unlocked, you can do anything to the phone (well...maybe except flashing iOS on it laaa)

If you do this on your bootloader-locked phone, it will most likely result in a brick

how to get RM50 off ??

if u need a perfect global rom which can OTA , u hv to unlock bootloader and it will take about 15 day time . i dnt think any seller will do it right now

and he managed to request to unlock using the unofficial rom..where most people failed with 86006 error..then unlock BL..then update..

will it brick also?
