That's exactly why we're looking at trying to dd using temp root on the Samsung su binary a modified protection off compiled kernel (minus ramdisk)... on Reboot the new kernel SHOULD boot because it's engboot loader but it'll do so without added kernel protections in place that currently prevent elevated privileges...

---------- Post added at 07:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 AM ----------

It COULD in fact work (in theory) but you'd also have to include the Frankenstein kernel in the package.... once the engboot is Flashed in Odin i think your idea may work tho... in combination with a carefully built kernel that is.... hard part is beating signatures initially.... the checksum only Checks at boot, so if you can dd push it live i think it'll go....

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

My whole theory is a piece Meal solution that needs CAREFULLY set into place because one misstep means starting over.... you would need to take the exact same steps jovy took and get to a point (or fig out HOW) to get sammy su binary to allow adb dd.... once it does I'm confident... so [MENTION=4454815]jovy23[/MENTION] let me know when you get this far, IF you get this far, and we'll go from there....adb dd on the sammy binary.... in the meantime I'll get the custom zImage compiled with protections disabled - we'll dd it to the device, then we Reboot on it (SAVE THE IMAGE) and then try injecting supersu into system/xbin and see if the binary will execute - long as it does we will have a saved image of a kernel that (in combination with the P engboot) will allow us to achieve full root... If I'm not mistaken the engboot will allow the kernel to boot as long as protections and panic are disabled at compile time and we preserve the signature of the orig file......

Exploit is already there, the question is do you need wifi calling and volte? If so, then you should return the phone. If you only want the phone for root, I suggest you return it and wait on the nexus.

Come on guys lets get back on topic here. I know everyone wants to get their hands on this tmo engboot firmware that a user claims they have is really out of the picture.

Someone posting that they have it and to PM them if you want to test it out and then all of a sudden next post they would leave is that they don't like too much PM's and something happened medically on the same exact day really doesn't make sense.

Just to think it isn't hard to upload a .tar file and move away from your computer to do other things and then come back once it's finished to copy and paste a link to post on a forum.

We are so close on getting this done, but only time will tell i got a few things to test out right now.

Someone's gotta try something......why are you worried about it?

You don't know it's not about money for jusmejose? To be very clear....he popped up volunteering the file through PM, then replied to zero of them, came back and said he doesn't like dealing with all the PM's (I assume they didn't all come at once, yet not one person was given the file not the first not the 50th) then he said he'd just post a link later that day and mentioned his stepfathers pacemaker surgery was the reason of the absence.....still no post or activity.

Sorry, just gotta butt in on this, but pacemaker implant is still a delicate procedure and there are a lot of complications to watch out for and things to be cautious about post surgery. Yes, it's not exactly an emergency procedure, but probable complications post surgery could easily lead to one and so you still need to be cautious about the patient days or weeks after procedure and monitor the site and patient condition/how he's feeling and be alert of these probable complications that could probably surface.

The reason for the delay is entirely irrelevant... at this point if we want it we better do it ourselves and learn how if we don't know. You can't tell me Sammy has a full proof system of device security here, i refuse to believe that - there IS a way... we just maybe haven't found it as most of us aren't serious C programmers - which is the underlying code Linux (thus Android) is written in - so we better just brush up on what we don't know and concentrate our energies into learning to figure it out instead of doing nothing, bickering amongst ourselves, and waiting for some knight in Samsung armor to come save us from our locked devices (well YOUR locked devices - i haven't settled on a decision between T and F variants yet - I'm just here because if i can get root now it'll make life much easier later, and since i PLAN to buy, why not?)... that's where we're at.... If an unlocked or more easily exploited Bootloader materializes, awesome! But I'm not gonna sit here holding my breath hoping for it......

Might be a little late to the party but I think you guys are really thinking to hard. The kernel (the zimage-dtb) is probably the same between both devices. when you compile a new kernel it will have a new hash thus will not boot due to dm-verify . you cant modify the boot.img directly. But what you might be able to do is extract the boot.img with androidkitchen for both sprint and tmobile and note the differences (if any) if there are differences what you will have to do is make an init.d script and have busybox run it at boot to make the changes needed. Then find all the frameworks and libs required for wolte and wfc and make that a flashable zip and flash with flashfire. It shouldnt be THAT hard to find the frameworks.jars and libs needed. i mean it will be trial and error but start with frameworks and then use adb to log the missing libs. i'm guessing the ril stiack will need to be swapped . but i would stop worrying about compiling a kernel. the boot.imgs are easily extactable with android kitchen then if there are differences work out an init.d script if not then just move on to the frameworks stuff. but i think there is a few ramdisk changes because i think freeza tried adding all the frameworks and libs. someone should ask him for a list of what he tried.

I want our Bootloader unlocked and I'm finding good information and i think i might be able to do done creative reverse engineering that will make aboot look back to the hash of the file being Flashed instead of the param block where Samsung's signature is stored.... so basically when it Checks it'll be looking at the hash of the new file instead of referring back to Samsung's stored encrypted hash.... check out this link and you'll see what i mean....i think these Bootloaders can be unlocked....

This isn't any kind of a guide on doing this, just the opposite actually, but it basically gives you most of the info you'll need if you want to reverse engineer a Samsung aboot that will not only flash, but be unlocked after it does...

So to add my 2 cents, I went to the Dr for a heart checkup and was told i could 1) leave and come back for surgery, risking sudden death, or 2) have the pacemaker installed ASAP as an emergency admission. So pacemaker surgery can be either planned or emergency based on the situation.

Oh wow that sucks to hear man. Yea, I guess if you came in with complaints of arrhythmias, harsh chest pain, and they find some bad readings on your engagement results! Usually emergencies would involve some blockage that they would need to do a bypass or put a stent on it cuz the pacemaker just usually helps your heart to pump better/at a proper pace. I'm glad you're ok though and that they found out about that asap.

ramdom question. since we dont have TWRP can i NOT backup my current OS setup before i flash the sprint leak? is there a way to do it within the os and make it a zip that flashes with flashfire?

EDIT: is the sprint leak deodexed?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
Nope.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Surge1223:
Keep in mind your 8994 lk is in ELF format, while that 8974 aboot.mbn is in the MBN format. So the offset of 40 bytes won't apply unless you convert it to a MBN image first. Also the param partition holds more than just what the author of that article thought, such as ddi_data and the CC_MODE flag is more complex than what was shown. Anyways you can't flash a modified aboot (or in this case, emmc_appsboot.mbn) to your device anyways, it will fail in Odin, and dd'ing is an instant brick. Maybe you guys should find someone with a developer edition device and see if you can find a unlock similar to the S5 one.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] fsunoles101:
Yes. It is deodexed. Freeza states in his OP that it is.

So you know why dd forces a brick? What about creating a custom stock recovery that will symlink to the aboot partition and flash it that way?

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

Thank you though, too, i will keep all of that in mind... there's a way to get the mbn flashed, i think it might require a custom recovery because Odin is going to inherently have issues when it's initialized from the aboot we're trying to flash.... least to me logic suggests potential issues there... also why not use a modified heimdall?

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

Also, to my knowledge, there aren't any developer edition devices making appearances on the forums... and why has no one cracked these devices yet? It might require a totally custom built application to do it, but I'm certain it can be defeated.... we just have to attack vulnerabilities that can't be exploited short of finding them in the C code.... no one's ever looking there.... why can't i create a system service with root privileges that runs outside aboots container and initialize it via adbd then use that environment to bypass odin protection and use an init script just the same as init_odin3 but come before init_aboot in the boot sequence, or even like i suggested just use a recovery partition then create the correct symlinks to flash the mbn? I mean if you boot into your own environment then you should be able to bypass any software protections and essentially flash to any specific location on the media? I'm not suggesting any light undertaking, just the potential....i believe it possible to reverse engineer it SLOWLY AND METHODICALLY and unlock it....

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] AssassinsLament:
That's what I've been trying to explain. With a locked bootloader, boot.img has to match a specific checksum. If you take a stock boot.img and change it, it will not pass dm-verify, and thus not even boot.

Sprint's userdebug tar has an official boot.img that passes the check. So it boots. Sadly, that boot.img doesn't support wifi calling and volte. And even if it's in the ramdisk, the moment you put a different one into the boot.img, it will fail dm-verify because you've changed the original checksum.

Like I said, only a t-mobile engineering boot or an unlocked bootloader from t-mobile will allow a non-official boot.img to boot the phone. Sure you can flash an unofficial boot.img with dd, but it will not boot. And by official boot.img, I don't mean a user compiled boot.img from official sources. It has to have been compiled by Samsung/T-Mobile with the official checksum that will pass dm-verify.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jaxenroth:
[MENTION=774945]cobram3[/MENTION], that's pretty much it. I'm sure all the radios would work with tmo or att. Those devices are BL unlocked, but there are a few draw backs. 1, warranty- from what I've heard the Int phones are not serviced in the US, so that could be an issue. 2, the up-front cost of 850+. For me personally, I got this phone through JOD, this way if in a month or so development is non existent, I'll jump back to the note 5. Easiest way to do so is call CS add a line and once you get the new phone with JOD, call CS and have them move the phone with JOD to your current line and than cancel that new line. I just did this. Also let's give these devs time they've only had the device for a handful of days. (That's a general statement, not directed towards you?)
