[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] KCRic:
Not sure how many of you have heard of the "security" issue discovered on many newer phones but supposedly it can allow someone to request and be granted SU access via even a simple app. I'm not sure exactly how it would work but it's only for those of us with QC chipsets (that's us, the S7 and S7 Edge are listed as "vulnerable"). Until a fix is pushed, it can be accomplished on all stock firmwares. No need to ODIN or push anything through ADB (so far as I can tell).

The company that discovered it recently shared the vulnerability with QC, manufacturers, and I believe even carriers. They are giving them a standard of 90 days to make a patch and push it before they release it to the public. i.e. don't update anything if you want any hope of utilizing this.

For those with the skill and knowledge, is it possible to use this to our advantage?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] codabrink:
It's likely these security issues were already patched in a recent update. So for most of us, it's probably a no-go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] KillerClaw321:
This has been discussed in another thread... This has been debunked as completely useless. Sorry guys to disappoint you. The good news is we have devs working on a bootloader unlock!! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] tavocabe:
Really? Can you share some more info on that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] KCRic:
Really? That blows, hard. Any additional info regarding the bootloader unlock progress?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] goofwear:
But what about if we haven't updated the phone since we bought it. Then wouldn't the phone still be vulnerable to the quad root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] xDark_:
It's just a proof of concept. No one has actually used it to gain root access.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgogs:
I recently attempted to root my phone using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2387341 however despite ODIN being all OK I got the error Set Warranty Bit : Kernel and the phone would just do nothing after that. Then I tried this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 (although I had to sideload one of the zips rather than copy it) but I still get the same error. I can boot into Recovery and Download mode, but that's it. Thank you for any help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanishedsarah:
I have a stock LG Power. I recently factory reset my phone. After I finished the initial setup, my home and recent app buttons didn't work, and my notification bar wouldn't pull down. I researched it a little and found out that the reason was because the phone was still stuck in setup mode. So I force closed the Lgsetup, and everything worked except the home button. So, I rebooted the phone. Now it just brings up the setup every time the phone reboots. Everything is still entered, I don't have to do anything other than hit next. I don't know what else to do, help?

Hi, thanks for the idea. How are too planning to update the rom? Via ota?
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
Nop - via download link
[Honor 7 Android Development] Icetea:

I currently have YodaROM v10, how can I install H7cRom?
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
Installation is described step by step in the first post.
[Honor 7 Android Development] RicardoArantes:
Dummy files??
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
To be honest - I don't understand what your question means - but anyhow ...

... the dummy files which are attached to the first post are only for presentation purposes so that you can find out what you can get

... the "real" ROM related zip files can be downloaded via the link that is mentioned in section "Download" in the first post

Best regards

[Honor 7 Android Development] RicardoArantes:
Flashed this Rom and now the phones doesn´t turn on.. help!!!
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
The ROM has been tested by several people in Germany without having that effect in the past.

Needless to say that I would really like to help you but in order to be able to do that you have to be a bit more precise:

Which firmware was installed when you tried to flash the ROM?

Did you get an error message? If yes, please post it here.

Do you have a bootloop or what exactly happens?

Did you interrupt the installation process?

Which version of TWRP did you use?

So, please describe the circumstances to get a specific answer.

i think, you have written to many text in the first post! nobody like to read a booklet to be able to use his phone!:D

Now you must live with the result my friend.;)
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
Oh - that's something I can live with...

Before publishing H7cROM here I thought about it very intensively because I am currently very busy. And for me there were two options how to do it:

Fast and short

with the risk that I will have to answer a lot of questions and posts to explain the approach

Less fast and with a long explanation

with the risk that people don't want to read it and only a few people will look into it

Due to my very rare spare time at the moment the first option would definitively overload my current capacity. Thus I have made the decision by intention to go ahead with option 2. This is my personal "defense line" to avoid unnecessary and unneeded support effort.

And if nobody is looking into H7cROM that's absolutely OK for me because primarily I have made it for myself (and I have learned a lot during this process :D).

Hi, i've installed The 0.7beta.

Now il i want install The Last version, i need to format cache and data, or i can just install The last version?

Thanks
[Honor 7 Android Development] warzag:
I'll probably install the first release when it'll come out ! Is the beta doing well so far ? any issue spotted ?
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
[MENTION=6796415]Fi7agi[/MENTION]:

If you have already installed a version of H7cROM you can choose "Clearing caches" instead of "Factory reset" so that your data will NOT be deleted. In this way you can update to the latest version.

[MENTION=5156029]warzag[/MENTION]:

Then you will have to wait forever ... the reason why is explained in section "Beta forever (or banana software that matures on users side)" in the first post.

hi mate , I need some help , now im using china rom 'Kangvip custom rom b380 '

The rom is great, stable with lot more features. But it did not has the option to lock signal like in the European Rom.

Is it possible to port that feature into this china rom ? can you teach me .??:):):)
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
Without knowing the 'Kangvip custom rom b380 ' deeply I can only assume that you will not be able to get that funktion easily. The only option that might work is to use xposed in combination with a modul that will fit to your needs. That's something you have to test by your own.

SUPPLEMENT:

Perhaps I have an idea for you how to enable the switch for 4G communication.

For the European firmware you have to change the entry "ro.config.hw_hide_lte" from true to false in file "/cust/hw/eu/prop/local.prop". I assume that you will have a similar file in a similar folder and that you only have to replace "eu" in the path where you have to look for the prop file.

Of course you have to have root access on your phone.

Best regards

m_esser
[Honor 7 Android Development] Fi7agi:
Ok, Thanks.

In The future, web there is a new officia build What i need to do for upgrade?

Thanks
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
[MENTION=6796415]Fi7agi[/MENTION]: You simply have to install the zip file for the 1st phase - but keep in mind

not

to choose "Factory reset" but "Clearing caches" to ensure that your data including all user apps will be kept.

Best regards

[Honor 7 Android Development] Fi7agi:
My question is for official update (like a future version b380), non for update of your rom ;)

To be honest - I am no clairvoyant and thus

I coudn't presage that you meant Honors firmware update

I don't know how such an update will look like

The only thing I can do is to assume that it will be distributed via OTA and as a full update as well.

For an OTA update I assume that this will not be installable with H7cROM as a base ... like for the most custom ROMs. And a full update shouldn't be a problem.

[Honor 7 Android Development] janfredrik:
Thank you.

Just one question. I've read installation guide and requirements, but I've got YodaRom v10 and I wonder if I have to reset to a stock rom or if I can use twrp and just install this?
[Honor 7 Android Development] androidbreaker:

[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
Yes, you will have to go back to stock ROM before you can install H7cROM.

That's a discussion I had already in the German forum android-hilfe.de ... the reason is quite simple - I am not able to test each custom ROM in order to find out which customizations have been made and particularly to find out how to avoid unexpected side effects with those custamizsations for H7cROM.

Because of that I need a fixed starting point and that's the original Honor firmware PLK-L01C432B370 or PLK-L01C432B371.

Hi,

jfyi - I have uploaded the version 0.10b(eta) so that it can be downloaded now. This version includes the following changes:

added option to keep recovery configuration as it is (phase 1)

added option to delete Huawei clock and weather widget (phase 1)

added Calendar+Planner (phase 2)

added Sony XPeria Digital Clock Weather widget (phase 2)

moved Google Calculator to phase 1

moved Google Calendar to phase 1

moved Google DeskClock to phase 1

moved Google Messenger to phase 1

moved Google Photos to phase 1

changed menus for the above mentioned Google apps so that you can decide whether the corresponding Huawei app shall be replaced, both apps shall be installed or none of the alternatives (phase 1)

moved True Phone dialer to phase2

moved ZenUI dialer and contacts to phase2

moved CleverDialer to phase2

moved Drupe dialer to phase2

moved Fleksy keyboard to phase2

moved Swiftkey to phase2

I will update the change log in the first post as well.

Best regards

m_esser
[Honor 7 Android Development] essmgus:
Great ROM!

Can you add google dialer and google contacts? This would make it more look like android stock.
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
Senseful idea - I have already checked that before publishing version 0.10b(eta). Unfortunately you get the message on play store that both apps are not compatible to the Honor 7 device.

Of course I could install both with some tricks but that would make any user dependend on my future updates ... in order to avoid disappointment when I am too busy for updates I have made the decission not to include both apps into H7cROM.

Further I have tested the Google Now Launcher as well but when trying to make it the main launcher it was not displayed in the menu (to be honest - I didn't spend much time on the launcher - so it might be a future option).

Just 1 question : why don't you put your rom in the "android developpment" section ?.

Envoyé de mon PLK-L01 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
Before you can publish something in the "android development section" you have to reach a minimum of contribution entries on xda. When I decided to publish H7cROM here I didn't reach that threshold so that I could not add a thread in the development area ... thus I made it here.

To be honest - I have no clue whether I have reached that level now because I don't care about such things. If a moderator thinks that it has to be moved that's fine for me ... if not that's also OK for me.

[Honor 7 Android Development] Theneoninja:
I have a couple of questions, probably about roms in general but I'm rly new and was thinking I'd try and install this rom. First, what is the difference between the different kernels? Do they change the user experience? Secondly I would like to ask if a rom for the honor 7 could completely change the notifications shade and thingsike that?

I'm fairly certain the first question is rly stupid but let me know if the last one is :laugh:

Thanks
[Honor 7 Android Development] xXfuzzXx:
Hi,

updated from 0.8b to 0.10b (just Phase 1) yesterday and encountered the same "problems" when I forst installed ur rom: Even if I unselect different Huawei Apps they are installed anyway (e.g. Huawei ID, EMail, Exchange, etc),

is there an error in the installscript or am I just too dumb? :D

And another question: I am using ur preferred recovery configuration (original as recovery and TWRP as eRec) and I experienced some freezes during aroma clicking, is this because of using erecovery? (never experienced something like that when TWRP is the "main" recovery)

Thanks in advance and thanks for the rom of course :)

Hi , i'am sorry for you , your device get's bricked, if you still have a warranty bring it and tell that"s hapened after a update.
[MENTION=7354493]m_esser[/MENTION] : hello , you did a great interesting job, a nice approach realy, felicitations.

=> for the bricked devices : when i did my v5.0 and include update of partitions B371 (using .img format) coz i like it , some user could boot normally (lucky peoples) and some over ones ... was bricked exactly like spuzz ... my fix was to remove updated partitions , just keep boot, cust , system , like this no more brick .

=> We did many investigations to try to understand the problem , but finally never found any availlable reason , for now i thinck that it's the update of fastboot .

One of my friend get bricked last 2 weeks , we are still waiting for the warranty feedback.

Best regards

[Honor 7 Android Development] spuzz:
**** happens. I'll be in contact with my reseller asap with a couple of months of warranty to spare.
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
Let's start with the first question regarding different kernels. If you want to get an overview regarding the differences please take the time to look into the following threads: <link1> and <link2>.

For a normal user the differences are marginal but for Android experts they might be very interesting for special kind of usage.

Secondarily H7cROM will not be able to change the notification shade etc. completely. I am not up-to-date regarding all xposed modules but looking into this direction might help you.

[Honor 7 Android Development] Icetea:
This is the reason i am returned back to stock B180! No more experiments!!!
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
Regarding the update to v10.b I have to check whether there is an error in the script ... will let you know (probably later today).

The freezing Aroma Installer is not dependend on the recovery configuration. As mentioned in the first post this happens sometimes. In that case you have to repeat the complete installation process (unfortunately but I have no solution for that because that is an issue inside of the installer).

Best regards

[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
As mentioned some posts above ... I can live with that because that probably reduces the support effort a bit ;) when I am to busy.

[MENTION=4453756]spuzz[/MENTION]: I am very unhappy about this result ... the ROM has been tested by a bunch of users in Germany (on android-hilfe.de) and I have never heard about a brick due to H7cROM.

[MENTION=5300098]Speedo.thc[/MENTION]: Thanks for your hints - I will reduce the update to the necessary partitions (boot, recovery, cust, system and 3rdmodem) in the next version. Hopefully this step will avoid any further brick.

Best regards

m_esser
[Honor 7 Android Development] spuzz:
Did you manage to get your phone working again?
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
I assume that you will get no answer - I wanted to help him but I never got a feedback with any kind of precise information.

m_esser
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
I have just tested it on my second device ...

... coming from version 0.8b (with factory reset) and updating to version 0.10b (with cache clearing) I couldn't reproduce your problem. The script seems to be OK and thus I assume that your issue was a side effect of the freezing of the installer.

Best regards

m_esser
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
In order to avoid further bricks I will upload the version 0.11b (probably today).

It will contain the following changes:

reduced the number of updated partitions to a minimum (like mentioned by [MENTION=5300098]Speedo.thc[/MENTION])

added DigiKernel v1.0 (Thanks to [MENTION=5391886]DigiGoon[/MENTION])

updated apps in phase 1 and phase 2 (2016-08-24)

I will keep you in the loop when the upload is done. At that time I will also update the first post correspondingly.

Best regards

m_esser
[Honor 7 Android Development] DigiGoon:
Yes its good to reduce partitions, I suggest you to just keep boot, cust, system. No 3rdmodem or anything else. :)
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
I have already reduced the partition number (when coming from B370) to the minimum:

boot

recovery

recovery2

cust

system

data (when factory reset is selected and for user apps)

3rdmodem

The partition /3rdmodem is still integrated because I can remember very well the discussions that T-Ryder had on a German forum regarding this partition.

Without it the users had significant problems after upgrading from B370 to B371. After integrating it into the ROM everything was fine.

To avoid any kind of misunderstanding - the partition /3rdmodem will only be flashed by H7cROM when the former firmware was B370.

BTW - version 0.11b is now uploaded!

Best regards

m_esser
[Honor 7 Android Development] DigiGoon:
Oh good, I'll note that down, I don't follow the German forum so didn't knew that, even now I will also include that partition. But a better way to check if its a different partition is to check if md5 matches or not with its previous versions, I don't have B330 otherwise I would check it. I encourage you to do so for the confirmation. :)
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
To avoid a misunderstanding - I am talking about an update from version B370 to B371. In that case the partition /3rdmodem is important. H7cROM doesn't support an update from version B330.

Best regards

m_esser
[Honor 7 Android Development] DigiGoon:
Oh sorry misunderstood, then check md5 of 3rdmodem from B370 and compare it with B371, then we can know for sure. :)
[Honor 7 Android Development] Icetea:
both files are identical!
[Honor 7 Android Development] DigiGoon:
[MENTION=7354493]m_esser[/MENTION] [MENTION=6142732]non-toxic[/MENTION] then I think there is no need to include 3rdmodem partition. Whatever the users were facing problems on German forum, was due to some other thing, as [MENTION=6142732]non-toxic[/MENTION] confirmed that both have same md5, there is no need to overwrite it again. :)
[Honor 7 Android Development] Icetea:
is it possible, that TWRP make this trouble during installation?

for example: If i recover the cust partition, i lost my boot anim every time! I’m not able to recover it proper! Only reinstalling the ori. custom.img fixes this fault.

Maybe there is a error in the partition.table after rebuilding a file with TWRP.

Sorry, no brain available for better English just now! (30°C):D
[Honor 7 Android Development] Speedo.thc:
Hello rudes boys , i have this discution with t-rider when B370 appeared , i was thincking like non_toxic (same file) but he proved me it's different , so now i have my 3rd modem collection

here are MD5 checksum for each 3rdmodem.img extracted from phone after updates:

1e7d9308aec9474e602a7e24afb2fb6e B330 md5

[MENTION=7354493]m_esser[/MENTION] , i'am pretty sure that your new version will not brick any phone now :good:

Have a nice day every body. ( 36° in Paris today ....)
[Honor 7 Android Development] Icetea:
had compared my two files again! Same result! Both are extracted from full stock rom’s! B370 & B371 loaded from honor support side directly!!!

3RDmodemB370 is from 16. Jun. .2016 and 3RDmodemB371 is from 20. Jul..2016! both are MD5-> f7d4ebb9e7f73cbe7288071acbc675bf
[Honor 7 Android Development] DigiGoon:
I can't check it myself as I don't have the full ROM, so now I have to download it, since I can't say that any of you are wrong. :D

One thing: [MENTION=5300098]Speedo.thc[/MENTION] you extracted them from the full UPDATE.APP right? and not dd'ied it from a running device?
[Honor 7 Android Development] m_esser:
As far as I know there are two options to place the bootanimation.zip file:

/cust/preinstalled/public/media

/system/etc/media

Because of that I assume that your bootanimation.zip is/was placed on the /cust partition. To be honest - I don't know which location for the boot animation has higher priority if you have a corresponding zip file in both locations. If I will have more time I will probably check that.

[MENTION=6142732]non-toxic[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5300098]Speedo.thc[/MENTION]:

Thanks to both of you. Due to your different statements / experiences I have taken a 3rd path of investigation to find out whether I will keep the partition /3rdmodem in H7cROM or not.

I have analyzed the updater-script which is included in the update.zip from B370 to B371. This script includes the line "package_extract_dir("3rdmodem", "/3rdmodem");".

Although I am not able to find out where Honor has stored the folder "3rdmodem" for extraction purposes (probably hidden in the file UPDATE.APP) I am taking that as an indicator to keep the partition in H7cROM.

BTW ... 32°C in South Germany - not the best weather for deep technical investigations :) .
