Hi latest unofficial build broke video recording, camera force closes. Could you kindly fix that issue? I can not record video.. :(
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] moffa~:
I'm posting a new build but I have yet to test it out.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] amus76:
The zip is not working (29th build), i think the zip is corrupted : 301mb of size (it used to be 319mb), first try with the 29th build with clean install from Color OS
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] moffa~:
Yes that's why I took the link down in the thread and updated the first post. I'm rebuilding it again currently

Edit: LVM is broken currently. I'll try to fix it on the weekend
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Gborg3:
Take the time you need to get it going proper and I won't stop thanking you. I have two x9076 models that my wife and I are using and getting a solid LVM compatible MM CRDroid build going on them would be the best way I can picture these functioning as I always hoped. My HP TouchPad is making fun of these phones because Android N is somehow already being developed for it. I don't expect stability out of its 5~6 year old unkillable hardware but with the Find 7's there's nothing I'd appreciate more. Awesomely thank you in advance!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] hulicow:
Hi @~moffa I tested again your rom with different add-ons that I've used. Fortunately, I was able to find the culprit, It was the MaxxAudio ported App that ruined recording videos on my phone. Thanks a lot.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] happydish:
Just curious if there's been any progress, I love crdroid on my phone, but it's been months since my last update. Is LVM still broken?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] moffa~:
Yeah firebird said he's going to update the device configuration. Once that's done I'll start building it again.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] moffa~:
So he doesn't have time to update it as he's working on Android N now. Sorry folks
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] DemonDroid_97:
Will you still build for N on this device?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] moffa~:
Sorry for the late reply. If Cyanogenmod and crDroid support it, I'll build it. I'm not knowledgeable enough to get it started myself.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] DemonDroid_97:
Ok thank you! Here's to hoping Cyanogenmod arrives here as well
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mlkemac:
This is my first ever attempt at this so I cannot guarantee this will not damage your phone or destroy the housing market.

I bought this phone on a trip in China expecting to have a plentiful selection of roms on my return to Canada, only to be met with zero roms, and the only information on Chinese forums.

Having been inspired by the Aurora Rom, I decided to try and build something more compatible with North America

This is based off the latest Hong Kong (INT) firmware G9350ZHS2APH2

So far I have not learned how to properly build a standalone rom (flashable zip) so here is a 100% working guide for now. I will post the zip once I have figured that out

This was only tested on a Chinese G9350 Qualcomm S7Edge. Please don't attempt on any other model

Backup your phone!

Make sure your bootloader is unlocked!

Install Samsung USB Drivers

If you already have TWRP, and are having problems mounting data, boot into recovery and Format Data. If you want TWRP first, flash the TAR G9350.TWRP.3.0-321.tar

Boot into download mode

Launch the modified Odin

Load all the corresponding files. (BL, CP, CSC, and the AP file) Only the AP is required, the rest is optional.

Click the bottom left button to start the flashing process.

Reboot back into download mode

Flash the AP TAR (G9350.TWRP.SuperSU.tar) This will flash TWRP, then boot into recovery and flash root

You should now have a rooted, International speedy rom with working recovery

There is no extra bloatware in this rom, however I recommend using TiBu or Package disabler to remove the TouchWiz bloat.

Samsung USB Drivers

Modified Odin

TWRP & SuperSU Root

Data Encryption disabler - Updated 2.1

Odin AP/PDA Firmware file

Odin BL

Odin CP

Odin CSC

Thank you to all the devs on the Chinese forums http://bbs.gfan.com/forum-1663-1.html, and to Android File Host for hosting my files.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BenjaminM:
Thank you so much for that, this is great, I've been looking for this for quite a while.

Before I try it out, can you confirm :

1) Is this a full ROM and/or will this wipe my phone user data?

2) If it is a full ROM, will I still receive OTA updates and will I need to re-root afterwards?

3) How to I check my bootloader is unlocked?

4) Any benefit to flash the BL, CP, CSC files in Odin?

Thanks a lot for you input,

Regards,

Benjamin

Hey Guys,

Suspected ROM is here: http://devicedownload.zte.com.cn/support/product/201606031040/sd/20160715164404575.zip

I'm not 100% sure of that actually is the ROM, I've herd of OTA updates going out, if someone could intercept them and post them that would be great (I don't physically have the device yet)

After quickly having a look at emmc_appsboot.mbn in IDA could you guys try a few things in fastboot?

1. fastboot oem unlock-go

2. fastboot frp-unlock OR fastboot oem frp-unlock

Cheers Guys!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] redeyss:
You want us to try this only after latest updates? I'm still on build B18, not B21.

No go on shipped firmware.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] (dylanger):
Hmm, I don't think that's the actual firmware, if the OTA is being updated over SSL, add a RootCA and update, even the URL would be perfect, I'm only after emmc_appsboot.mbn
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fix-this!:
So what makes you think this is firmare to allow bootloader unlock? Ive done a lot of searching and I dont see anything pointing to that happening. Hope im wrong, id buy it if I could.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] (dylanger):
Sometimes vendors have secret fastboot commands, or their recovery dosen't check what you've provided to it, I have a massive flight to BlackHat coming up so I know what I'll be doing on the flight
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScaryBugThing:
Look forward to hearing what you find out! I really really want this phone to be unlockable/rootable.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nameless One:
If ZTE are being honest and truthful with their stated intentions then one of the first couple of updates for the international version should provide owners of the international version with an unlock-able boot-loader. No relying on the work of third parties of unknown trustworthiness or vulnerabilities that may be patched out and require new vulnerabilities to be found for later purchasers to unlock their phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] (dylanger):
It depends on how well they've written their software, I'm seeing 'Secret key is invalid, please update the bootloader with secret key' in ABOOT, so it looks like they may have the same get up as Motorola where you request a key and unlock it with that, I haven't been able to match this string back up THUMB/ARM OpCodes yet. Or they may have a signed copy of ABOOT that allows unlocking, and they'll slip that into OTA.

If I find something I'll let you all know!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] XblackdemonX:
Actually if you go in the developper options, there is an option to allow bootloader unlock

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] daneoleary:
I'm really hoping that someone can crack the Axon 7, too. I guess I just assumed when I bought it since most phones get cracked. This better not be one of those that can't be unlocked/rooted. I love this phone, but I hate ZTE's skin. It looks cheap. I'm using Nova Prime right now because I just can't keeping looking at MiFavorUI.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] max1001:
They are getting harder as securities of the bigger brand and Android in general is getting better but ZTE is kinda new to this game so, there's a good chance of a root exploit at least.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] daneoleary:
I'll keep my phalanges crossed.

Half the reason why there are so many people using Android is because of the potential to root and customize. If OEMs start making devices that can't be rooted, Android is going to lose a bunch of previously loyal followers.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] (dylanger):
Yeah, first time in the states! Pretty excited about it, I'm a Researcher, hopefully talking next year! Cheers!

---------- Post added at 04:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 AM ----------

Don't count on them unlocking it since they offering a product warranty. They don't want to have to deal with jokers that hose their devices trying to MOD it, then unroot and try to get a new device because they bricked it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] (dylanger):
This is a bit of a cop out, procedures do exist where if you unlock the device, it will 'blow' a fuse thus permanently voiding the warranty, all OEMs should be providing this option, the worst vendor I've ever experienced is Motorola.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] max1001:
But Android M has two classes of boot verification implementation. If ZTE went with Class A which i am sure they did, it's not going to be easy to switch to Class B. Considering there's numerous bug currently, the developers have to fixed those before they have time for this bootloader unlock business.

Ref, https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/verified-boot.html#glossary

---------- Post added at 03:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------

Can someone with the phone try this in ADB.

"fastboot flashing unlock"

fastboot oem unlock doesn't work in Android M.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] (dylanger):
Ah yeah, this is Android's new ABOOT, allowing the user to sign their own boot.img kernels? I think they did this to disable Android Pay if you've unlocked the bootloader? Yeah it depends on ZTE, they could have just chosen with a vanilla LK/ABOOT

If that's true, this is fantastic.

Although I could have sworn I saw mention of an unlocked bootloader (and system images available for download directly from ZTE) for the Chinese variant.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeutonJon78:
You can download the full Chinese OTAs. I'm not sure what the difference is between that an full factory image though. I'd imagine they are pretty similar. However, ONLY the US model has available bootloader unlock at the moment, and you have to request a code. The US model, oddly enough, doesn't have any posted full images. So the situation is actually currently a little odd.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] KyJelly69:
This isn't root. This is the ZTE given bootloader unlocking. I want something that doesn't void my warranty.

Can you undo this using lock or relock or something other than unlock?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlesG87:
If you read the document looks like unlocking the bootloader boils down to "fastboot oem unlock", like you'd do on any Nexus :)

If this is the case, it's pretty good, because it means that the procedure isn't tied to the phone's IMEI.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Yes, Bootloader unlock provide access for dev. To build TWRP and having TWRP comes easy root.

yeah suppose can be Lock again is same as my LG G4 cuz is same way for. unlocking
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlesG87:
Btw, I've tried doing it, and it didn't work, so I guess there'll be another OTA soon to actually activate the unlocking, and that must be the OTA that it's been referred to in the instructions
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
From the other threads, that's what it sounds like. Update to B20, submit your request, and get an OTA pushed to your phone.

The question is whether the OTA is:

specific to IMEI and hashed,

specific to IMEI (but easily modified),

generic (but reports the IMEI back to ZTE and so requires modification), or

generic (so we just need to capture it and apply to phone)

Curiously, at this point in time with ZTE voiding warranties for anyone who wishes to pursue unlocking their bootloader... would the best path to take be purchasing 3rd party cell-phone insurance to at least have a warranty for the device?

Very curious how you guys feel about this, as even though I am confident enough to flash a custom ROM (don't see how it's that scary once people have tried & tested working methods), I am still a clumsy-ass dude who might drop my phone lol.

TLDR; ZTE voids your warranty... what do? Is purchasing 3rd party insurance now the answer for getting custom roms AND warranty?

Also, just wanna say thanks to everyone who is putting in mad hours trying to make everything work out for the Axon7 dev community here... you guys are all taking risks with your devices and spending time for the sake of the whole community... I really appreciate all of the efforts!

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tupirujp:
So ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] peramikic:
Well depending on the price of that insurance per month, you are paying the full retail price of the phone in two year coverage. Economically the risk management theory says to take uninsured risk with those terms. 50-60% loss ration would be acceptable so same terms on a Galaxy S7 works but not on AXON 7
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] XblackdemonX:
So, we got trolled?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tdgillihan:
I've been looking at pre-ordering mine frome B&H Photo and I noticed that they are offering a full warranty. Either a 1yr for $49 or a 2yr for $79 with a $50 deductible. If it turns out that ZTE is not going to cover hardware issues with bootloader unlock, which it appears will be the case, this seems like a much better deal than what you're looking at.
