You can downgrade to PC5 for sure with the zipped firmware. I did it last night. The PB5 is spotty. It gave me bootloops.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Wheplega:
Hey Hellsgods,

Any prediction on how soon you can post instructions to root S7 across all carriers?

I am in a real jam with an S7 edge (935T) that I have to send back under insurance before they charge me retail cost. I accidently deleted some precious data in the internal memory and can't recover anything without root as far as I can tell. The screen is smashed, but mostly usable and I have been scouring these forums looking for a way to get my data back before I have to send the device back. If I brick it, I brick it. Nothing to lose at this point. I have to ship it back no later than Monday.

Help me Obi-Wan Kenobie, you're my only hope!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] sirslipzalot:
To be honest, I think he was offering to be a guinea pig and not just asking for an ETA. He's willing to brick his device. Sounds like good research material to me.

[MENTION=4098325]hellsgods91[/MENTION] You got anything you can give him for testing before he has to give his phone away?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Wheplega:
OK, I just read the rules several times and don't see anything about asking for an eta. I see lots of rules about respect,bashing, and guiding noobs. Can you show me which rule I violated? Never intended to offend anyone. I just came here looking for a little help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] colormedroid:
It falls under the respect rule. May not be directly stated in this rules section but it's always been one of them... "don't ask for eta's" rule. It's just not respectful. They have lives, jobs, and other stuff going on. Most of them do it cuz it's one of their hobbies or something similar. Please don't make the developers feel rushed. They don't owe you anything. Sorry for the rant everyone else that already knows this information.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ali87va:
Just stop arguing about rules and crap! Stay on topic before you guys get this one closed too! Back on topic! [MENTION=647113]hellsgod91[/MENTION],can we get you to pop in here and answer a few questions on if root was possible and what method you're using/trying to use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] oka1:
From the Moderator

It is bad form to ask for ETA's whether it is an explicit rule or not, it falls under Rule 2.3 Disrespect of others. In short ppl who offer their work for free should not be "pressure and unwanted inquires to "when is it coming?

The old Saying "don't stare a gift horse in the mouth" comes to mind ... hmmmmmmm????

I have a S6 with Cricket running 5.1.1. I have tried ping-pong root, king root,cl auto root (G920AZ isn't on the list) and SRSRoot. None of these methods work at all, even srsroot which they just put on Twitter that it will work. But none do, so are there any ways of getting my s6 rooted.

I'm not 100% positive but I think because dalvik/cash can not be cleared because it is part of data partition and it is encrypted as we all know.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] schmeggy929:
In TWRP, click WIPE, click WIPE ENCRYPTION, swipe to format data. Only way its going to work. data is encrypted. Sorry ya going to have to start from scratch again.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] datafoo:
Beware this will wipe the entire data partition and all data.

You cannot wipe Dalvik from outside the OS. I believe apps like 3ctoolbox will allow you to wipe Dalvik from within the OS (still need a reboot).
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Genetic517:
Thanks for the reply fellas. I don't mind starting from scratch but I'd be safe with wiping data? Don't want to redo everything to find my radio is broken.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] datafoo:
As long as you re-encrypt your data partition either with su 2.72 forceencrypt or using stock boot+system images, you'll be fine.

[Ascend Mate 7 General] droidbot1337:
so i recently finished updating my brothers Galaxy S5 to the latest CM13 nightly. while doing this i became furiously jealous. not of the phone but of the fact that its able to run CM. the following day while on my break from class i decided to launch one final attempt at getting custom roms to not only the mate7 but to hopefully all huawei devices.

as we all know, android is open source and free to use. if oems decide to use it on their hardware they are legally obligated to release all possible sources for any and all to use/inspect. huawei has continually refused to do so....... kinda.

so i bought my mate7 from an amazon merchant who imported it from china. why does this matter? on the US huawei site, one can purchase small range of huawe phones (the P8 lite, GX8 and Mate2). huawei has provided all sources for these phones. if you check their xda forums you can see that there are custom roms for all of these.

so, since i didnt buy my mate7 from an authorized US retailer, i have no legal recourse. while this sucks for me, that means that maybe someone in the EU or elsewhere will have luck. other countries have strict laws that protect consumers against OEMs.

all i need is someone to help out with a bit of research so that i/we can hopefully get huawei to comply. look at lenovo/motorola and their situation. i cant be the only one that despises not being able to fully control my device.

its not only a ui issue, its also a huge security issue. who's to say that china isnt spying on us through our devices?? maybe thats why huawei is so adamant on keeping their sources. either way, i think we should unite and give this a try because it looks like huawei might soon be the only OEM to produce top end phablets.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] snake65:
I am in Australia and got my mate 7 from Vodafone here, what do you need me to do to help?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] droidbot1337:
first of all.... THANK YOU!!! with that out of the way, the device must have a kirin processor (i know they all are but i have to make sure). since you purchased it from your local authorized dealer, then that means Vodafone and Huawei have a contract.

this is where we can all contribute. here in the US, service providers aren't legally obligated to provided updates to their phones. in some countries they are. there was mention of one country where consumers where legally obligated to 2 years of updates and some other perks.

in your case snake65, i would kindly suggest you start by researching if these laws apply to you in your country. secondly, start a dialogue with a Vodafone representative in a hope to getting the contact information of a huawei official.

i have been in contact with a few but because they are from the north america office and my device is not legally provided here they have refused to help me and by extent everyone else. legal threats wont work with the chinese branch but im hoping that will change in other countries.

im currently trying to get in touch with google over the matter but that is proving to be very difficult. the google product forums will be my next stop. i hope to get some more leads and hopefully more help. thanks again to any and all that can and are willing to help!
[Ascend Mate 7 General] droidbot1337:
i was planning on posting a discussion thread regarding this topic in as many other huawei device subforums but since i still have a few more hours at work and finals this week, i would appreciate it if anyone could help out. maybe the mate 8, p8 forums. thanks to any and all who can help.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Scruffykid:
I wish I could help with the legal side of things, but I bought my device in Tanzania. Huawei does have an office here, however I SERIOUSLY doubt there are any laws here regarding open source software policies.

But I can't think that Google wouldn't be able to step in? Isn't the whole point of Android being open sourced? As far as I understand it (I've only read a few articles on his over the past year or so) is that the only sources that a company can withhold (if their device is running Android, of course) would be software / applications developed and legally owned by them, for example Samsung Pay and so on. Withholding kernel sources does not (once again, according to my knowledge) fall within the rules of using the Android platform. This might also only be applicable law in the US, but I really don't know.

If there are any French users, I understand they just opened up a massive office somewhere in France, in Paris if memory serves. Perhaps they could be helpful?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] snake65:
Isn't there a full kernel source on one of the site's. Is that all that's needed?

Is this any good.

http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=97

Or this

http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=74
[Ascend Mate 7 General] kr1shna:
According to what i have read and collected from the forum these are not the only things required to build a custom rom, someone mentioned there are other huawei pieces which they didn't release. Also these kernal sources are for kitkat and lolipop and npt for the marshmallow. In one thread i have read that the kernal sources for marshmallow have been released but its not compilable, so they have made some tweaks to make the kernal compilable. But they require more sources from huawei ("sources for magic bits from huawei") without which building any custom rom is not possible.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] droidbot1337:
wow! thanks to everyone that is showing interest in this. [MENTION=7174863]Scruffykid[/MENTION]: that is indeed true. they are legally supposed to share all the sources for their devices. the north american branch of huawei has been doing this for their devices but those are few in number (4) and snapdragon soc based. this is why my attempts to convey my concerns with the north american branch has failed.

they dont see any solution because they are not responsible for my devices since its not technically a north american product. i have tried to get contact info from huawei so that i can start a dialogue but that has not been easy. their forums are also of no use. they keep on deleting my threads regarding the subject and i have been banned 4 times so im starting to reach my limit.

btw, it really irritates me how much people dont seem to care about this. android n will soon be upon us and i doubt we will get it but even if we do it will no doubt be a crippled mess. we really need to get huawei to comply for not just our benefit but them as well.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] kta:
I wouldn't say people don't care, but do you have any idea the resources you need to take legal action against Huawei?

If it bugs you enough it's just much quicker to switch brands I guess.

[Ascend Mate 7 General] RobboW:
I don't know why everyone is so desperate for custom ROMs anyway. They always have bugs and unless it's a Samsung touchwiz phone, people tend to go back to stock software rooted.

I have an oppo Find 7 which has a bunch of custom ROMs available and mine is still on oppo ColorOS and rooted.

My Mate 7 on Lollipop runs really nice and there's absolutely no need to even flash it to anything else.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] droidbot1337:
then clearly my friend, this does not concern you. if your happy then keep emui, but many of us would rather have change. this is not a thread meant to justify our need for custom roms. also, eventually huawei will stop supporting devices. what then? just look at the mediapad x1, it was skipped for marshmallow after only having one update.

this is why sources are needed. no one is saying that you have to use costom roms and actually its not even about that. sure i would love cyanogenmod or omni rom but i would just be happy with aosp android and not that ****ed monstrosity that is emui.

so, to anyone else that wants to sing over their love for emui, please do so on your own thread and not here. this meant for those of us that want our moneys worth. btw, do some googling on huawei product reviews. they all feel the same overall. great hardware, **** software.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] RobboW:
I'm all for someone to have a go at doing custom ROMs (if they were not buggy) and Huawei would do well to release all the software sources, especially now that they decided to be a global mobile device powerhouse rather than just a Chinese local. I do think you have zero chance of making an impact. It's a massive company and lets face it, Chinese do not care about what is right or wrong, or about international law. All they care about is making some money. The thing that would hit them is if people stop buying the product.
