only unpacking and repacking,didnt help on my device but yet again nothing else helps me compile kernel for this idol 3 so i guess this app works just not for me, bad luck :/
[Android Software Development] atoxyd:
Well, this is a beta version of my apk, only for testing, I use [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] tools ,this doesn't mean that you have bad luck my friend, this is due to the limitation of [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] tools, but I will find another way to make it universal apk. Okay ;)
[Android Software Development] osm0sis:
The scope of my tools is for Google's Android image standard as defined in the bootimg.h header from AOSP/CM. My tool forks have the widest support available for images which are standards compliant, supporting all commonly used ramdisk compression formats.

Supporting Sony's ELF, MTK's labeled and Samsung's headerless image formats along with the standard images (not to mention Samsung's and others' various deviations based on the standard header) and having the script/app differentiate between them would be a very large and difficult undertaking indeed. If that's your plan then I wish you the best of luck in your efforts. :)
[Android Software Development] bigsupersquid:
hey, ran more tests.

no issues with the dtb or other functions either.

backup and flash functions working fine too.

here, for your devices.xml

thanks for your work.

eagerly awaiting your open source as well ;)
[Android Software Development] osm0sis:
Thank you for adding the appropriate credit back to your post. Patching, cross-compiling and scripting has taken significant work. :) :good:

The only other thing that I'd ask is that you do not use the name of Android Image Kitchen or AIK in the title of your app. I'd like to suggest maybe "Image Editor and Flasher" as a snappy alternative? :)
[Android Software Development] atoxyd:
Thank you my friend , you are the only one who supported me , and from the beginning.
[Android Software Development] bigsupersquid:
it's a useful project, definitely worth a little testing and feedback.

besides, i remember what a pain it was getting my xda account eligible for posting the project i was all gung-ho about sharing (optimus v boot from sd card if i remember correctly)

sharing is cool, but a lot of the feedback tends to be annoying when there's no logs or other usable information, just "it's broken" or "can you implement for me on device XYZ."
[Android Software Development] atoxyd:
Did you have an unlocked bootloader ?
[Android Software Development] bigsupersquid:
nothing changed on the device, unlocked and still s-on, I'm not sure what went wrong the first try.

PEBKAC error probably

(problem exists between keyboard and chair)
[Android Software Development] atoxyd:
I release AIK&Flasher v2 , I use [MENTION=2661222]xiaolu[/MENTION] unpack/repack tools.
[Android Software Development] osm0sis:
Please use a different name for your app as I have requested.
[Android Software Development] atoxyd:
Yeah, I purpose this name : Android Image Builder and Flasher.:D
[Android Software Development] osm0sis:
Sounds good to me sir, thank you. :)
[Android Software Development] osm0sis:
I see you opened a new thread instead of renaming this one; If you're done with this thread you could ask a moderator to close it. :good:
[Android Software Development] atoxyd:
And I see that you intervene in matters that do not relate to you , and this is none of your business , sir, and you can ask modurator to close it . OK:what:
[Android Software Development] osm0sis:
You @ mentioned me in the new thread to make me aware of it. :eek:

Anyway, I've put through your request to have this old thread closed. Take care.

Bounty to Unlock the Bootloader for the Galaxy S7 & Edge

and

Bounty to Root

I am officially starting the pool with $50USD for the Bootloader and $50 for a persistent Root

We have had such an Amazing Response to the Locked S7 Bootloader. From Tweets and Phone calls to Tmobile and Samsung, to a Petition and now the Bounty for the Unlocking of the Bootloader has flown past $1000 in Less than 24 Hours. Lets keep up the pressure and all the good work from the dedicated Android community. #UnleashTheSnapdragon

I am including in this post, a separate bounty for a confirmed root method.

The Bounty can be paid in Bitcoin to protect identities of those wishing to remain anonymous.

Otherwise, a donate button will be set up to route payments directly to the developer's paypal account.

Estimated Current Bounty for Bootloader:

Model G935T - $1230

Universal - $2265

Bounty for

Persistent Root - $675

I know, its not even definite :( I dont know if I can resist the phones on amazon with prime shipping ... I could have a s7 edge with an unlocked boot loader in two days - so tempting. There are some decent exynos features too, the battery life sounds a little better and so does the DAC. I am torn.

Waterproof

Root

(AM)OLED

SD Card

Removable Battery

The kernels should be the same I mean with the chip set as the US version so we should be able to start working on a root first then bootloader because it's harder to get the bootloader than root and most of the community just wants root
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Ghost Dragon:
Can we Flash the Chinese bootloader since its the same chipset as the US version?

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

Then get a proxy to access the Chinese version of the Galaxy store to get the bootloader unlocked via crom?

ROOT

I have a sneaky suspicion that the Tmobile S7 & S7 Edge will end up just like the

Verizon - ATT Note 5 and S6 Edge/Edge+ phones and will NEVER have root. LOL

I would strongly advice & suggest NOT to get rid of your Tmobile S6 Edge/Edge+ or your Tmobile Note 5 phones yet!!!

Have a great day!

I can confirm that Kingo Root does not work on my S7. Used the 3.0 version which still seems to only go up to 5.1 Lollipop
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] pantmunu:
Try the one from PC ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] system0verload:
It won't work.. the vulnerability which it tries to exploit lol has been so patched up in all S7 that we have more success of breaching Fort Knox at this time than getting around the tight security of the phones..

Fellas, I am officially dropping out of this race.. I have learned A LOT when it comes to low-level APIs of the android system and most uarchs in the ecosystem.. to the extent that I'm getting me a Nexus to tinker on my own and get deeper in the security business of mobile devices.. definitely, the route where our immediate future is heading!

I have given this my all for the past 2 weeks almost and for someone who's been working alone, I don't feel like I have failed rather I have gained. I would have loved to work in a team of talented peeps in the industry but nobody likes an outsider I guess lol.. no hard feelings!

If a root comes along for the S7, I may consider Samsung brand phones again.. I was selling my superb Note 4 and I'm glad it never sold on Ebay though it is reaching its end of life and I do get jealous of my wife's S7 at how smooth the damn thing is.. In my wife's own words, "you guys are trying to kick a dead horse that doesn't exist yet".. I slapped her hard but on another way later the same day for her mischievious and negative views LOL!

Best of lucks and do not give up.. I'm not giving up but time is precious and unfortunately, the sad reality is that Samsung/Tmo won't do jack about the BL from this moment forward.

So all we need to do is setup a proxy/dns like doulci did for iCloud I'm guessing there will be a login screen so it'll need to be a spoof server then login to the spoof server and that should open up application then we can use the app to decrypt the master key then we can unlock the bootloader

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UnixSlayer:
In that thread, they stated that the RSA webserver sends a 256 bit encryption key when requesting an update to the operating system. None of those devs feel that this encryption will ever be cracked. They also stated it HAS never been cracked except for a kernel exploit....

Someone else said that their phone rebooted too but I can't get the sprint s7 edge to do it. What browser are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] :
Forgive me if this is stupid, but the software linked here claims to be able to read/write firmware, EFS, security, and certificates to some variants of the S7. It does not specifically mention the G930T or G935T, but sometimes websites don't get that specific to variations of a device. Could something like this be used to achieve the unlock, or at least root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
Doesnt look like it supports the g930t
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] :
As I said in my last post,it doesn't specifically mention the T variant. My question is: if it does and it is just not listed, could this be used to get the unlock we want? I would think being able to write the firmware would include the bootloader and we would be home free.

I'm using the regular Android Internet browser.... I didn't try any of the others because it blocked me after that. Someone else would have to try it....

I've been reading about another program called Chimera that actually works on the G935F, and G935FD....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] ^I'm_With_Stupid:
Of course it's worth a shot, but I highly doubt it. They only listed phones we already know can be unlocked so I think they're just as powerless as we are. If they could edit the eemc on our S7, they would definately list that since that would be a huge selling point.

I dont think chimera or any other software will work those are usually used to flash phones to different carriers or repair imei/ esn ha aaa keys and info. Unless they can somehow crossflash firmwares I dont see it working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Ghost Dragon:
Does the custom recovery get taken off when you when you flash the fw? If not you could flash the Chinese fw then use crom then reflash your fw or you could flash the Chinese bootloader then try to use crom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] Nv1dia:
This might have been attempted or mentioned, I apologize in advance if it has.-------- literally posted 1 minute before mine ^^^^^ haha

What would stop us, from wiping the partitions on a US variant S7, then taking full firmware for a chinese s7 and flashing it via odin? couldn't we unlock that bootloader and simply flash american software at that point? does the chinese variant differ that much? I would think samsung would keep the two relatively the same to save on manufacturing costs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] UnixSlayer:
I think we would have a better chance to unlock the bootloader, if we were able to root first. The bootloader is hiding in the HLOS. The kernel is in the operating system. Would be easier to obtain root, than unlock the bootloader.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] brendan802:
Flashing any variant besides your own will fail. It checks against the current firmware and will only allow the same model to be flashed. I have tried numerous times with a few different firmwares from the snapdragon 820 oriental variants.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] brendan802:
Well I am out of the races my phone is heading back for a refund. I believe I did find a weak spot in the armor though. All i can say is qd loader 9008 mode and a backup of an unlockable variant may work. I managed to get into this mode but I cant mount the storage to even try anything further. I believe in this mode the checks wont be there and if a international backup could be restored except the efs partirions it may work for you tmobile guys. It is very risky territory though so think before plunging in.
