Honor 8x Max w/ 660 SoC release date? - Honor 8X Questions & Answers

Hi Friends. Does anyone know when the 660 SoC version of the HONOR 8X MAX will be released? I can't find any fresh references to this, even though it was initially mentioned to be released (in addition to the current 636 SoC model). It's like if fell off the radar / vanished. Thank you. ?

Haven't seen it? Me neither. It may be a rumor-based or unconfirmed variation. I can't find it.

The 660 SoC version was also mentioned in this video, look forward to some new references as well

Why would honor use Snapdragon processor.

It's already released. It originally came out w/ 636 and then 660.

[Q] is there any work out there to get 4.4.4 to work on AM2?

Just wondering if we can get CM11 or something else on here and if it will work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
For CM11 you'd probably have to message their team and see I'd they can help us out. I'm sure the version of KK that's released for the Chinese version of this phone could be ported but it seems like nobody can or is interested in doing it. Sadly it just seems like there's no development for this thing at all
Stock/rooted?

Because none of us are developers or know what to do. If I knew how to port a ROM, I'd get CM11 on here ASAP, trust me.

Personally I don't see us getting KK for this device. That would be ridiculous but if they can openly post on their website that other variations of the device are getting it but will not confirm we are then I'm thinking we wont. Hopefully some of the Devs who got these things at the event can port something for us from the Mate 7 or another variation of the Mate 2

That would be really dumb if all their other phones are getting updated except the one phone they sell here. I hope they recognize this.
That being said, I wonder why they just gave out 15 of these to developers. No other company would do that lol. Their Google Plus page even said "custom ROMs are right around the corner" or something like that. Maybe we'll get an official custom ROM, like the One Plus One with its custom CyanogenMod?
Of course I'm just speculating haha, only time will tell.

That would be sweet. An official custom ROM. I like the sound of that. We can dream until they either burst our bubble or deliver. [emoji4]
Personally I think they gave them out for the devs to do their job for them.

Doesn't matter to me. GOING IN, I figured from the past look at Huawei, they provided little to no updates to their devices.
So, going in, I knew it wasn't going to get KK. Don't really care! JB4.3 has been ROCK SOLID with no lockups, lags, problems
of any kind. Heck, I don't even root it! It "just runs". I don't want to screw around with unstable builds, don't have time as this is
my bread & butter for work.

Xiaomi mi5 device

I plan on purchasing a mi5 device once it becomes available. My question is where is a legit place to buy it online? There are plenty of fakes out there and I don't wanna be bamboozled into buying a fake. Was browsing through the xiaomi.com site and they didn't even have the mi4 device but had everything else so I'm doubting it will have the mi5 once it drops. Any suggestions will be appreciated thanks.

Will this be developer friendly?

As the title says, I was wondering if Oneplus will release all the source and if the bootloader will be able to be unlocked like the One? Or will this one be locked down?
Sent from my Moto G XT1034 using Tapatalk
1. About sources, they still haven't released full sources for the O+2 yet, but Carl Pei seems to be looking into it.
2. All Android devices must ship with a locked bootloader to pass Google's security certification. But, unlike most bootloaders on devices sold by Verizon and AT&T, it will be unlockable.
I expect it to be developer friendly.
If this phone uses fastboot again then unlocking the bootloader should be fairly easy.
Sent from my XT1562 using Tapatalk
Yep it will be easily modified.
I own a OnePlus x (bought in Paris yesterday).
If you enable developer options on OnePlusX, there is a toggle OEM unlocking with the following caption: allow the bootloader to be unlocked.

As far as I know, OnePlus brought 600 units to a shop in France to sell before the EU release date.

Yes it was for sale in one shop for 3 days (200 units per day) from 2nd to 4th of November. Was a 5 minutes process !
I will post a feedback after the week-end. So far good impressions.
I won't attempt any modification until there is a proven process to change recovery and install root.

Cant really comment on that until I receive my OPX, but it sounds to me like those people haven't formatted their sd correctly.
Worst scenario is that the new update is breaking the micro SD functionality. Which will be annoying.

Some of them says it worked with SD formatted in NTFS but no custom recovery is supporting NTFS.
Let's hope ONE PLUS is reading about it also. And release an update to fix
I hope the hybrid card slot isn't causing the problem

Hello musamaashraf, I'd love to answer your question! The Honor 5X update is a staged rollout, meaning not everybody gets it at once. We send out the update in daily random batches and the first batch went out last week. Please be patient as it will make it to you. We want you to enjoy Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and not have any issues. We appreciate you and we're happy to have you on Team Honor. (ED)
i have the same build and i need the update

I think that there is a some racism, otherwise why the europeans and americans enjoying with marshmallow since two months while we are in middle east suffering from pain of waiting. Is this fairer?
Every time honor keep saying that we get this update very soon but unfortunately no bostive action as if we are asking for Android 7 I believe this update will never released

I believe 'racism' is a bit too strong a word in this situation, but I do nevertheless think that there's neglect for the C185 KIW-L21, which I presume has to have similar hardware to its European cousin bearing the exact same model number.
Other aspects worth noting is how Huawei is selling the Honor 5x at a much higher price in the gulf states than in other countries (US, India), knowing that there's little import tax and no VAT!
Otherwise, it is still a great phone.
