Reason for Sale

Almost no custom rom support

Less than 8 month old K50i, comes with orignal charger and cable and a back cover. Condition is very good, very small mark around type c port and light marks around camera bump caused by the case, only visible at certain angle.
Device is incredible smooth and gives 2 days battery life on light-moderate usage on 144hz mode with about 7-8hr sot.
Supports 5g on both sims.
Shipping can take 3-4 days.

Price is not negotiable, I'll keep it if it doesn't sell.

Yeah there are a few roms but the installation processes in very convoluted. From what I can tell, and I can be wrong since there are no proper documentation , you need specific recovery for specific kernal version used in the rom, also you can't just go to fastfoot and flash recovery, there is a different process for that and the cherry on top is that you can hard brick the phone if you flash a wrong recovery. The only phone I have hard bricked was a Huawei U8800 , I do not want to add this to the list.

Was jumping to get this thinking it was the 8gb model but its the 6 gb one
Pricing seems a bit steep but the phone has very good review so GLWS

Things have changed wrt flashing.
Certain roms require diff. recoveries starting Android Pie unlike earlier it was just TWRP.
This is majorly because TWRP dev. was stopped almost for more than a year and then Ofox was born and since then Ofox is the fav. one for every dev.

Arrow OS requires twrp and now many rom support twrp and its totally up tp the devs where technically recoveries shouldnt make any difference as such unless specifically stated.

Software bricks are way easier to handle unless you know how to. My phone has bricked a dozen times and so other phones in my family/friends and never there was a situation to visits any service station. Patience is the key and google has it all! Its all about leraning is all I can say.

There are 2 types of roms, fastboot to flash directly and recovery rom to flash via recovery where the later is required in custom rom flashing.

Yes I'm aware of all this but the process for mediatek devices is a bit different, I had k20pro before and you could always recover it by flashing stock rom through fastboot but with this things are different.
As I said before if you flash a recovery with incompatible kernel you will have to visit service center to recover because the mediatek recovery tool requires authentication which could be bypassed on older devices but you can't do that with newer mediatek devices.

Ya mediateks are a bit different but I have all those fancy tools so never faced issue. May be the newest ones might be a lil different but again SD is the way to go for a smooth sailing..

Yeah I was looking for a 778G device, but the performance of this was too enticing.
