You are welcome.

Do not upgrade. to 2.07. If you need than root it and remove the rest of potential virus like files .
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
It is maybe not that seller lies , often they do not know.

I asked 3 sellers about that. 1 says that adapter is as a standard included, 1 does not trade HT7 any more & says that earphone problem is solved because the new Homtom HT7 is HT7 PRO, 1 says that HT7 does not need adapter any more.

I ordered from the last one HT7, so in 2 weeks I will know and inform on the forum
[Device Reviews and Information] elios4dt:
I downloaded the latest version, it failed.

Haven't tried again after that. I have not tried SuperSU Me or Supersu ME PRO.

I don't know what the problem is with the HT7 pro. All i know is that it didn't work.

BTW did you have WIFI open when you tried to root Kingroot without PC?
[Device Reviews and Information] elios4dt:

I've uploaded the files to MEGA.

If anyone thinks they can port TWRP. Send me a PM.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
ok. in any way we have a tested solution of Kingroot via PC ( by you) and perhaps we will have TWRP if our colleague can make it

[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
IF somebody stole anything from you that was not me.

I did not know that you are going to buy today and you are going not wait for Flash sale that was announced some time ago:crying:

It is a good price for HT7PRO, although I paid in flash sale 69.99 USD. But it was not a lasting offer:highfive:
[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
Now, 79.99 USD was gone. :rolleyes:
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:

Great work.

Great both of you guys. Now "only" root version of TWRP

Guys can I have original ROM for SPFlash just in case

[/COLOR]

Original ROM for SP Flash may take more time,

to build scatter file from the air is so difficalt .

but Original Rom by TWRP, it will be easier.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
IMHO you can better concentrate on TWRP root version.

By original ROM you mean what you received or does it need more work?

In that case can I have the link? it is easier downloaded then done probably

thx I missed that
[Device Reviews and Information] elios4dt:
I already created a Scatter File ;)

Its in a previous post of me.

Trying out beta3-2 in a minute.

Will let you know in a second.

---------------

Result:

beta2-2 does work.

beta3-2 does NOT work.

I also succesfully installed XPosed Framework using your recovery.
[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
if you have Scatter File ready,

to rebuild system.img is not difficult.

You can do it by yourself,

[Device Reviews and Information] elios4dt:
Works :)
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Guys .. how far are we from rooting with TWRP?
[Device Reviews and Information] elios4dt:
I would think this would work already, as i can succesfully install Xposed Framework using this TWRP as well.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
mrd.macdonald Great work.

in such a short time..

What do you think?

Is it ready to be used to root HT7 PRO?

so you think root procedure would now work?

After testing by elios4dt

- rename the HT7 Pro image to recovery.img

1. flash recovery.img with sp flash tool using scatter file that elios4dt made

2. boot in recovery choose to modify

3. reboot in recovery from with in TWRP with reboot button when asked to install supersu agree with a swipe

4. when again in TWRP reboot to system

there is a stock recovery in case it is not the case
[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
to root ht7 pro with supersu ,follow this

1.download SuperSU265.zip and place file in sdcard

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8gBLoDXwz5DMWtRamhkdVZQbk0

2.boot to twrp

3.press Mount ,and select sdcard ,then back to main page

4.select Install ,move to sdcard ,select SuperSU265.zip then swipe to confirm
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Do I understand properly?

Flash with SPflash using scatter file that elios4dt made

and than follow your procedure?

Are you going to make changes in TWRP?
[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
Yes.

No ,beta 2-3 is the final.

I not have HT7-Pro on hand.

If going next, I am afraid this will damage your device.
[Device Reviews and Information] elios4dt:
That should work.

I do think you need to unlock your bootloader first tho.

I might make a tutorial on the full thing later.
[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
Note :*95% of MT65XX devices have unlocked bootloader so you do not need to worry.

http://www.mtkroms.com/2016/02/how-to-root-any-mediatek-device.html
[Device Reviews and Information] elios4dt:
Yeah... 65XX... Its a 6735...

But you can unlock the bootloader without a code from Homtom. So.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
In any case there is no problem in trying to flash TWRP without unlocking bootloader. ..?

at worst it will not succeed.

guys good job....

otherwise we can install kingroot and replace it with supersu and then install TWRP or not...

am I correct so far?

There is a description how to unlock bootloader

This is how?
[Device Reviews and Information] elios4dt:
That is how, and needed to install TWRP.

I would recommend doing that when u get your phone. Before installing anything.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Ok

was it locked? have you checked that?

When I receive the phone I will try without & if necessary unlock it
[Device Reviews and Information] elios4dt:
It was "locked" but you can unlock it without needing a code.
[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
what is a bootloader?

In literal terms,

Bootloader is code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run.

Bootloader is instructs the kenel and operating system, to boot normally.

Android is an open source OS, and is available on a variety of different hardware,

Every manufacturer has their own version of bootloader,that specific for there hardware’s environment.

Why you need to unlock bootloader ?

To unlocking the boot loader, is possible to put root, flash twrp recovery or custom rom on your devive.

Typically for MTK CPU

If you have scatter, you can flash recovery directly through sp flash tool, with out unlock

bootloader, So there is no need to unlock bootloader.

but,if you don't have scatter ,You need to to unlock bootloader

and flash recovery through adb-fastboot-command.

Is it necessary to unlock bootloader of HT7-Pro?,

Now, We have scatter file ,we have TWRP,

So, there is no need to unlock bootloader.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
It is ok that elios4dt described that he unlocked the bootloader, but he did not have TWRP that you made.

IMHO I do not have to unlock the bootloader, so I will try without as I said.

It would be nice perhaps to make a custom ROM also. I do not know how but we have scatter file and original ROM and TWRP
[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
elios4dt is a pioneer

I could not build TWRP with out stock recovery or boot image.

If elios4dt don't root his phone , we not have TWRP.

now, elios4dt's phone is contaminate with kingroot-exploit.

If someone flash TWRP to unroot's HT7 Pro ,

and boot to TWRP ,and do a backup of system partition .

and send a backu file to elios4dt,

This will help elios4dt to get rid kingroot from his phone.

now, we have scatter file from elios4dt and TWRP .

the backup system image from elios4dt, contaminate with kingroot exploit

jan177, could you do that for elios4dt?
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Ok I see the process.

I will have my HT7 PRO soon.. probably next week

If elios4dt would like to receive system.img than he will let me know

There is a new version in FOTA for the normal HT7 v2.1.0. They say "minor bug fix".. .Someone tried it? Maybe the touchscreen issue is a "minor bug" for them?

[Device Reviews and Information] Rockyfancino:
Help! Help! Help!

I don't know anything about phones, and TWERP. I have read some pages of this thread with a little understanding. Now, I want to purchase this Homtom HT7. I hear it has a lot of bugs (touchscreen, WiFi, Sim port, 3.5mm port, tether, pop-up ads, auto app installing, rebooting).

I don't have money to purchase a better phone, but not exactly that its certain that I can purchase the ht7 too, but I think its possible.

I know the phone is bad, but that's what I think I might just be able to afford, so I don't want problems after buying it. Anyway I don't want to get sad when I purchase it.

Now, guys here been discussing about the phone for some time and it's been rooted and the best to. to use is custom ROM right?

I want someone to give the the procedures to rooting it and removing all problems (malware - especially those I mentioned above). Also what ROM and which version should I install to avoid those problems I mentioned above?

I have a PC running windows 10, so if you give me all correct infos, I can also make the phone perfect.

My post may seem unclear, but I guess you understand what I'm saying.

Note: Add links to your guides.
[Device Reviews and Information] maxionline:
I am doing that today, but its my mother phone. I was asking cuz maybe someone already are using that version... no need to write that...

[Device Reviews and Information] Dahut:
I'm using Windows XP 3 - 32 bits (x86)

I do my best to run SP Flash Tools and update my HT7 with 2.0.3.

SP Flahs tools does not see my phone. No messages at all and no download at all.

I installed all tools provided/suggested as USB VCOM drivers, but it's a mess (at least for me).

Can anyone give advise?

I tested SP Flash Tools 5.1520, 5.1524 and 5.1604, with and without battery installed.

When the phone is connected but without battery, I have yellow marks in Device manager for Android ADB Interface, Ports/DA USB, MTK USB and Preloader USB VCOM

When putting battery and switching on, HT7 appears in Portable device. All other yellow marks are still there.

How to use SP Flashtools

Now it works!
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Now root it and remove possible malware
[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
Reason :

1. I have experience about porting TWRP 2.8.7 to some devices(MTK,Quanlcom,Allwinner,Rock chip.)

2. From my opinion, New function in TWRP3 that aims to support Marshmallow than lollipop

3. TWRP 3 is new for me and I don't have HT7 Pro on hand

4. This is a first time for me to port Twrp with out device in hand.

So I choose a simple and familiar way. And ensuring the mistakes is minimum.

If you want to use TWRP just for root,flash firmware,backup & restore,copy-delete apk,dump rom on lollipop only.

TWRP 2.8.7 is enough to support these .
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Thx for explanation.

I think it was great that you made it without the phone.

You will have it ready when your HT7 Pro arrives. The prices were good till 1st april.
[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
For me,It will so longer to be owned HT7 Pro.

Now, sellers put off the shipping of my order.

before place an order it show shipping process time only 7 day.

After I place a payment it shipping process time change to 45 days.

(I made this order on 03/29)

Maybe the seller waiting for someone to return a defective phone and ship it to me.

Normal delivery time it take about 20-28 after seller had ship the item.

if the phone had a problem(out-of-order or not working properly) it may take time more than 2-3 months to solve the problem(dispute process).

so.....pay today get product next year for Cheapest deal of aliexpress...:crying: :confused:

I do not know if you were buying often on ali ( you have 87 items in the basket) but it does not mean anything.

Some sellers have this.

I have seen it many times but than the shipment goes than normally. I had it also and within a week it was shipped.

It has an info about delay because of CH NY . standard though not applicable at this time of a year.

Ask the seller when..

good luck
[Device Reviews and Information] mrd.macdonald:
I often to add the same product from many seller in basket and I waited until it cut a prices ,Then consider to buy or not later.

I ask the seller daily, but he did not reply at all.
