You can do that with splash tool, just tick what you need. I would send you my system but it may cause you problems since I moved a lot o apps in and out.

Here you have TWRP 3.0.0 based on 2.0.3fw

https://yadi.sk/d/IwQLnEg6pKpD3/TWRP_3.0_boot_2.0.3

Flash it the same way as you flashed 203fw. Copy scatter file from 203fw to empty folder where you saved recovery.img and let the splash tool do it's job. After that, your first boot must be in recovery mode (Power & V+) !!! Twrp will ask you if you want SuperSU installed, confirm and that's it. You have twrp and root access.

So in splash I can choose to update from 1.08 only systemui to 2.03?
[Device Reviews and Information] MiAn81:
Yes, exactly.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
I have not used Splash but how it can be done?

I see only choice system image.

can you tell me friend when and how?

I stayed with 1.08 after rooting and removing malware.

There is something wrong with battery in 1.08

Battery at

89% 4213mV

100% 4161 mV

How can I change battery apk in 1.08 for the good one from 2.03?

is there battery apk that I can replace?
[Device Reviews and Information] GreatStorm:
Hello to all guys , can I ask for a "summary " of what there is to be deleted after rooting the phone ? I ride with the last official update installed via Flash Tool .

Thank you :)
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
As I understand 2.03 is virus free. So you do not have anything to remove.

There are folders previously marked as virsesbut no apk insde. I talked to Homtom . they said they will make aps like unilaucher or themes virus free and those aps will be placed in LATER updates
[Device Reviews and Information] deni0604:
Thank you guys for everything. I finally made my phone work (I don't Know for how long). You are the best.

How to remove permanently kpsh from

drweb shows a virus. it is coming back with every restart.

I have 1.08 ROM
[Device Reviews and Information] json30:
flash 2.0.3 with sp flash tool
[Device Reviews and Information] xL2e:
OK bro and those of you who are still on the malware firmwares before 2.0.1, 1.0.1 and 2.0.3 there is no reason to be there! If you're there because of the unilauncher which itself is reported as malware you will continue to experience 'issues' (amongst which identity, bank info, passwords and other logins to a range of apps and social media) theft. Instead use the sp flash tool and upgrade! If you feel lazy and don't want to search for the links tell me and I will do a post with those 3 firmwares, the flashtool and the drivers just for you guys, staying on 1.0.7 - 1.1.4 is just risky to say the least, and for the launcher guys there are loads of beautiful launchers on playstore I myself use hola its light and efficient, good luck...
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
I do not see anything like unilaucher.

After removing most files infected I do not see any virus activity.

I am not afraid of problems because I am just testing in safe environment.

Anyone saw launcher looking like unilauncher?

Homtom says it will be implemented In later ROMs
[Device Reviews and Information] xL2e:
the default launcher in the 1.07 thru 1.1.4 roms is unilauncher (the gold and black like themed appearance), the reason i referenced it is because many ppl, as myself like it, some stay on those roms because of that preference. however i can state that TP 1.0.1 did not come with it because HomTom removed it from 2.0.1, TP 1.0.1 and 2.0.3 because it was reported as malware from some malware scanners, the default launcher on these latest roms is called launcher 3 its not as visually attractive as unilauncher so many of us have installed other launchers from the playstore, there are many others such as nova, hola etc...

with fw TP 1.0.1, 2.0.1, 2.0.3 battery stats are better, no malware and general better usefulness on the HT7, p.s. this is not an advert lol, just a satified HT7 customer after the "problems" of the previous roms lol...
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Thx.

I have 2 HT7 phones.

1 with 2.03 another 1.08 rooted.

I see the difference. Generally I am disappointed mainly by 3.5 mm earphones adapter and malware.

I like the black theme and icons. Experimenting with android phones. I tried all mentioned launchers. so far nothing.

thx guys
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
anyone can help with the drivers for windows 10? already tried some, and they aren't seems to be working.

jan177: if the .kpsh folder still coming back after delete, then there is an app, what create it. did you remove of these:

/system/launcher/*

/system/priv-app/caller_id_2.0.1/*

/system/priv-app/launcher-mate7_1.5.1/

/system/priv-app/lqsdk_1.0.1/*

[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
I like unilauncher so I can not remove

/system/priv-app/launcher-mate7_1.5.1/

/system/priv-app/themebox_1.0.1

because the phone will not start as I understand
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
Ok, but the unilauncher is infected. You can install other launxher and make it default always, after then unilauncher can be removed.

I understand, that your problem is that you want black/dark theme. Many popular launchers has dark themes. Just search in google.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
It is not only black theme. I do not like the Hola, Zen, Nova, Go launchers although they look attrative.

In unilauncher I like page by page apps , I do not like to hide anything and many additional apps that come with launchers. It is bloatware as in unilauncher virus activity.

2.03 has still the folders of unilauncher.

I hope Homtom keeps its promise and there will be unilauncher virus free.
[Device Reviews and Information] MiAn81:
With ZenUi you have 2 options, either to have menu with apps or no menu and all apps icons on front pages like in Unilauncher.

I'm not going to force you to remove Uni but you have to be aware that it also steal user info. At least one guy at 4pda lost all his money from credit card.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Ppl should be aware the risk when they decide to use phones to pay.

I do NOT advise that.

Zen ui comes close. The icons are not that nice as unilauncher.

I am surprised that Homtom preferred to use new launcher 3 instead make unilauncher virus free. They say they work on that.

I am curious if in new phones they will make 3.5 jack properly. It is stupid to use an adapter

Probably I will buy HT7 PRO.

Does it have the same problems?
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
At least, if you don't remove the launcher, you should install noroot firewall and block the launcher from net access.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
thx

I did that. I use NetGuard.

I am PC oriented basic security everywhere
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
thanks friend! it worked well. i flashed the v2.0.3 now.

i tried something: unchecked the "recovery.img" before download. didn't worked:) i'm now unable to reach the recovery:D
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
I have 1.08 rooted.

If I would like to install 2.03 can I just make an update form ROM settings?

Will I keep TWRP as root on 2.03?

or do I have to root again?
[Device Reviews and Information] fuzen:
guys i need help , i have homtom HT7 1.0.8 is routed i uninstalled all malware apps everything seems Ok but i have a big problem suddenly my phone keep saying memoire insuffisante everytime i try to install an application even though i have a 4 Gb free space interne , then i tried to move apps to SD cart but it says your phone doesn't have this function, this phone is really full of **** , someone help me fix this problem i hope this will the last one because everytime i fix a problem an other one show up
[Device Reviews and Information] xL2e:
first off, any reason you want to stay on 1.0.8?
[Device Reviews and Information] json30:
my procedure is to flash all partitions from stock firmware (except preloader partition if new one doesn,t have another size comparated with the old one, I read somewhere is the must have partition if whant to access your phone with SP falsh tool) and then only recovery for TWRP using same scatter file.
[Device Reviews and Information] fuzen:
i read that there is some issue in 2.0.4 some auto rebooting problems, & i have to repeat all the work rooting & uninstalling, i don't know what the good thing in the 2.0.4, does he gonna solve my memoire insuffisante probleme or just reinstall all that malware apps
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Sorry guys I would like to clear that to maybe not only myself.

I have ROM 1.08 rooted. Now I installed Zenui launcher.

Can I now delete unilauncher?

If I would like to install 2.03 can I just make an update form ROM settings?

Will I keep TWRP ?

Any other way to do it best?
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
i think the latest version is v2.0.3. many people flashed it, and we are don't know any issues. the launcher has been removed, it was infected. if you want to stay on v1.0.8, then you need to root and remove infections, if you want to stay safe. i was on v1.0.8, and i had auto reboot about 2-3 weeks.

if you are rooted, and want to update, don't use fota/automatic update. use the sp flash tool. you will loose every settings and data, so make a backup. you will loose the root too. but v2.0.3 does not need to be rooted.

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

if you set the ZenUi to default always, then you can remove the unilauncher (because you will have another default launcher).

if you are rooted, do not update from rom settings (fota). use the sp flash tool.

when you update with sp flash tool to v2.0.3, you will loose all settings and data. you will loose the twrp and the supersu/root. but you will get a clean, safe, more optimized system.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Why fota update is impossible in that situation? SP Flash is better or the only way?

2.03 can be rooted?

I would like to remove some apps.
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
it is mentioned not to use fota when rooted. i think it's because we alter some partitions and settings on the system when installed twrp.

when rooted, the best way is to update is the sp flash tool. i didn't try anything else, but it works simply. i did it yesterday (from v1.0.8). it removed the root and anything (data, wifi sets, messages, what stored on the phone), because we install a whole system image. it updates the recovery, so we lost the twrp. i didn't update the recovery image, and now my recovery is dead.

i didn't try rooting the v2.0.3. i don't want some apps too, i simply disable it. without root, i cannot remove them.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Thank you.

I have 1.08 rooted.

After flashing to 2.03 , root is lost ?

can I restore to factory 2.03 from settings?

You can later update by fota?
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
if you flashing, do not uncheck anything.

i did, and didn't worked. the standard recovery and the twrp recovery is not the same (in size), so after flashing without the recovery image (unchecked before flash), the recovery image (partition) become corrupted. i wanted to save my twrp recovery, but this is not the right way.

during flashing, you copy a complete system image to your phone. and because the firmware doesn't contains the root privilege, you will lost it. and you will lost your wi-fi settings, data, launcher, sms messages and anything, what is in your main (inner) sd card. do make a backup before flash.

i don't know anything about factory restore.

if you flash the entire firmware, you will be able to use the fota update.

(i'm not, because my recovery is bad, and i think this will be a problem for the fota installer. but luckily, homtom is always give the whole firmware in zip too.)

i think, the fota update don't clear the user data.
[Device Reviews and Information] xL2e:
if there are any restarting issues it is not that significant, i myself have seen a restart or two but nothing as worrying about which app is malware (stealing and monitoring) on 1.0.8.

2.0.3 is cleaner have had zero memory insufficient problems, battery stats are better as it allows you to charge up to 100percent, and its not 100percent from 88percent after 2/3 hrs, its something corrected in the battery stats... plus you can install twrp 3.0 and root after 2.0.3

using this info from MiAn81:

Here you have TWRP 3.0.0 based on 2.0.3fw

https://yadi.sk/d/IwQLnEg6pKpD3/TWRP_3.0_boot_2.0.3

Flash it the same way as you flashed 203fw. Copy scatter file from 203fw to empty folder where you saved recovery.img and let the splash tool do it's job. After that, your first boot must be in recovery mode (Power & V+) !!! Twrp will ask you if you want SuperSU installed, confirm and that's it. You have twrp and root access.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
In settings/ backup &reset you have factory restore

after flashing to 2.03 one should be getting factory 2.03 I guess.

can I use the Spanish root procedure and files to root again than 2.03?
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
i didn't have any info, that the spanish procedure works on v.2.0.3.

you should use xL2e post #300. there is a method to root v2.0.3 with twrp 3.0. it can be installed with sp flash tool. it changes the recovery image.

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

is it possible to change the original firmware recovery.img with the twrp3.0 recovery.img in the folder, and flash it?

what do you think?
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
I belive that this what xL2e did.

is there 2.03 ROM original form homtom?

is it this one?

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B8gBLoDXwz5DWHpCd1dTa3pUQ0E&export=download

Or is it modified already?
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
use this: https://goo.gl/5KlO5P (it's from the official fb page)

i think xL2e flashed the firmware first, after then flashed the twrp.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
I agree. This how he did this.

But you can flash complete ROM once more with image, and than as he did the TWRP.

or do I oversee something?

How is it with flashing. Batter out and in and then connect to PC. No pressing any buttons?
[Device Reviews and Information] homtom_ht7:
what now

Hi,

Have HT7 with all this pop up etc trouble ...

Phone is still on original 1.0x soft, presale version.

What should do, to get rid of this spy, malware..

will ota 2.03 remove unwanted spy.

Have read briefly all this 30+ page but what to do ?

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
first you can flash the whole rom, and second you only use the sactter file from rom with the twrp3.0 recovery image.

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

v2.0.3 is clean, you can use it safely. if you didn't use rooting, then you just use the fota update.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Simplest way. Update fota to 2.03 rom

in settings/ backup& remove

no viruses than..

with flashing ROM

. battery out and in. no pressing buttons?
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
battery out and in. i pressed vol-, it's mentioned to be useful, to sp flash tool to detect phone. maybe not needed.

hello guys, i was already told you that i have a v1.0.8 rooted & i uninstalled all the stupid apps but i had the memoire insuffisante erreur after i installed a couple of apps, Now i'm in v2.0.3 like you suggested i sp flash , the phone now have a new launcher with no themes but i can still see some stupid apps so i decided to uninstall them bref, Kingroot.apk refuse to open up Analyse erreur, i tried to install something else the installation begin then (memoire insuffisante erreur) from the beginning without even letting me install some apps first, CAN SOMEONE SAVE ME
[Device Reviews and Information] stephendt0:
I can't believe that the audio jack doesn't work! Why did no-one test this before sending out phones? Unbelievable. I'll see if I can get an adapter...

Edit: Has anyone tried drilling into the casing so that an adapter isn't necessary? I imagine you wouldn't have to go very deep... I hate the idea of drilling into a brand new phone though :/
[Device Reviews and Information] fuzen:
the thought crossed my mind but this operation need special equipment

i thought of something else not sure of it gonna work why not make the earphone taller by removing some plastic
[Device Reviews and Information] MiAn81:
As far as I know you are the first who has memory problems, no one reported anything like it before. Maybe you should google other threads with similar phones and same error you get.

As for earphones, there are 2 solutions to this problem (drilling not needed :))

Either to grind some material of the jack or to send Homtom an email asking them to send you adapter. Just search my posts from this thread and you will find how I did it.
[Device Reviews and Information] stephendt0:
Yeah I can't grind anything away from my earphones, the casing part is all metal... plus, not super practical to do that to every set of earphones. Nor is it practical to have to carry around an adapter, which will take a pretty long time to arrive.

I might just drill the damn thing when I get some time, I have a pretty decent set lying around. I'll try by hand first to see how it reacts, then using a little power.
[Device Reviews and Information] json30:
First, yes 2.0.3 doesn't have themes from 1.0.8

second, kingroot is for rooting, I do not have experience with that app, but if you need root you can install supersu from TWRP, with this I gurantee you ewill not have problems like you have with Kingroot.

To install supersu you need to flash original 2.0.3 firmware from FB link, with download command, restart the phone (to be sure everithing is OK), after that flash only TWRP image file posted by our friend, [MENTION=7258791]MiAn81[/MENTION], shutdown the phone, start this time in recovery mode with combo buttons press at start, permit modifications when asked in TWRP, restart again in recovery from buttons within TWRP to install supersu when asked, after that reboot you phone and you will have a stock 2.0.3. with custom recovery and root made with supersu.

That is all.

And for this to work you need to have drivers correct installed on your PC. Look in device manager for signs of correct install .

look here some info about kingroot

kingo-root-steals-imei
[Device Reviews and Information] MiAn81:
I'm not fan of drilling the new phone but if you do it anyway good luck with that :)

Did you saw my post with Homtom info about how to get adapter. I got adapter about 3 weeks after I emailed them. I now have 1 cheap set set for daily use and adapter to use more expensive earphones.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
It is a shame what Homtom did with earphones.

I am not going to change anything in the phone. They should revise the design.

Do u think it is possible to remove root in 2.03 by flashing anew with original recovery.img?

I have flashed 2.03. Customized. How can I make a backup of the system?
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
I flashed the ROM and then recovery.img. But the system started while I pressed vol+_.

Restarted recovery and

I did not see TWRP asking for supersu.

I had a choice of read only or make a partition

I have chosen read only. How can I come back to that screen?

When I restart recovery. it shows screen with red exclamation mark.

I am unable to open recovery. But if I flash recover than for 1 time I can see TWRP.

What to do ?
[Device Reviews and Information] json30:
you choose wrong

flash again 2.0.3 firmware, reboot in that firmware,

shutdown

falsh recovery.img with sp flash tool using scatter file from 2.0.3 firmware

shutdown

boot in recovery

choose to modify (no read only)

reboot in recovery from with in TWRP with reboot button

when asked to install supersu agree with a swipe

when again in TWRP reboot to system

that is all
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Is there a way to backup system. I have updates and applications.

I would like to avoid installing it again.

By flashing recovery.img I can use it once. Is there anything I can do to avoid re-flashing?

themes , rooting ,recovery mode i know all that, the main problem is that i can't install nothing after updating to v2.0.3 everytime i try to install an application i get the message memoire insuffisant
[Device Reviews and Information] kilmer.trotter:
what did you do after the sp flash firmware install? the official firmware is clean, and the install cleans up the entire phone. maybe your cache is full. try this: link

or this: "Go into your app manager, and clear the software cache of everything, most important of all: your Playstore app cache. There could be some kind of system limit on cache and system files to allow for some leeway for the rest.... "

i didn't do anything unusual, after updating to 2.0.3 i went to try installing something because (memoire insuffisante erreur) was my only reason for updating , but 2.0.3 fixed nothing for me, anyway softwares & machines sometime do thing beyond the compréhension of humans , despite v2.01 had problems with most people & since i have nothing to lose i tried it and it seems everything is working fine, most importantly no memoire insuffisant probleme, now my phon is rooted & i uninstalled all malware apps, now think my homtom HT7 ready for me to use it, thank you guys for all you help maybe this site has the most helpful people in the world i give my respect to every person went in search in the web trying to find solutions for others without profit :good:
[Device Reviews and Information] xL2e:
So fuzen you're currently on 2.0.1? And do you choose preloader when u flash thru SPflash tool? Also instead of choosing download in Spflashtool choose format + download this should fix your partitions back to original (this memory insufficient error sounds similar to another MTK phone I had couple yrs back although was thru me trying to make use of the full 8gb storage into one partition) if it is a similar issue the format + download with preloader selected will fix it...

I have highlighted an image with red to show dropdown dialog with format + download...

P.S. I know slot of guides will instruct not to choose preloader when flashing roms but this is only for custom roms which may not be made exactly for your phone, however if it an official release from manufacturer for your particular model, then u should use it... as in this case it's from HomTom.
