Hi!

My friend is looking for an Android tablet that has an unlockable bootloader and also has a custom ROM. I’ve checked a lot and every one of them is problematic. Usual brands here are Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei, Honor, TCL, Xiaomi. Apparently Huawei and Honor is out of question since they don’t allow unlocking bootloader. TCL is new so no ROMs. Xiaomi seems possible but unlocking a Xiaomi device recently became even more pain.

Do you know a decent model from these brands? Preferably 10-12 inch screen.

      Try Amazon. Amazon has different storefronts for different countries that allow you to buy products that aren’t sold in your region with added shipping cost. I order stuff from Japan like this with good results.

        That’s actually neat. There is local Amazon here and only sell stuff from Germany but if we can buy directly from global Amazon, I guess that would work. It also says they ship here too. Gotta tell this to him. Though he’ll expect payment by installments. How would this work from a different country, any ideas?
