[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoodoo_mc:
Hi.

Whilst still on 5.0.2 I removed the stock browser on my rooted device.

I have since seen that there are a few things you can do on the stock browser which you can't with other internet browsers, for example, scrolling through text using the volume buttons on the side, so would quite like to reinstall.

I'm now on 6.0.

Is there a repository, or some other place, where I can reinstall the Stock Browser which came installed on my honor 7 phone?

Build is PLK-L01C432B380

Many Thanks,

M.

OK, I have discovered that the stock browser is no longer available in marshmallow anyway.

Nice thread, thank you.

I am interested as well in a way to install the stock browser in the current marsmallow rom.

Does anybody know where we can find it?

Any of you have access to it?

Thank you in advance.

my honor 7 has chrome as stock browser. its best one anyways

All honor devices (running EMUI 4) come with chrome as stock browser, so you just install it from google play

[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] jose2410:
Hi all,

I am trying to flash my Xperia X (bootloader locked) with the latest Nougat official release with the Nordic Combined customization (34.2.A.0.273, CDA 1302-3140) using the latest Flashtool release (0.9.23.0). In order to do so I've created a copy of the script file for 34.2.A.0.266 (only Nougat available for the Xperia X) and renamed it to F5121_34.2.A.0.273.fsc. Unfortunately the flashing process doesn't complete succesfully and I keep on getting the following error:

ERROR - Processing of system.sin finished with errors.

Do you know whether that is an issue related to Flashtool being incompatible with this specific firmware version (34.2.A.0.273) or has to do with something else? Has anybody successfully flashed the Xperia X Nougat Nordic Combined firmware without unlocking the bootloader?

Thanks for your help!
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] kistigun:
weird, had the same thing yesterday. Solved it by flashing only system.sin and after that the full ftf
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] jose2410:
Thanks for your feedback! I´ll try to flash it the way you proposed... Did you use any flash script (renaming the Nougat existing one)?
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] kistigun:
Yes is also renamed the 34.2.A.0.266 script to 34.2.A.0.273.fsc
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] yacloo:
I did flash without any errors full ftf of Nordic firmware
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] jose2410:
Here is an update on my current situation:

The problem seems to be related to Flashtool (I am using the latest version 0.9.23.0). I've tried flashing different customizations of the Nougat firmware (Customized NOBA and UK) and every single time I get the same system.sin error. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flashtool (including the drivers) without any improvement. When I repair my Xperia X with Xperia Companion it updates it to 34.2.A.0.266 Customized UK without any issue (the original firmware installed in my terminal was a Customized UK). Furthermore, I've recently flashed a Xperia E5 using Flashtool 0.9.23.0 with the same computer without any problem.

Does anyones have a clue of what I might be doing wrong when flashing my Xperia X with Flashtool or whether it would be possible to force Xperia Companion to repair the terminal with the Customized NOBA instead of the UK one?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] Nidhal AKA the king:
after the rename, flashtool should notify you that a new script was found, and ask you to use it, click yes... then will ask you to skip or continue... you should click Yes Continue, then all process should work fine....

did you rename like that : F5121_34.2.A.0.273.fsc ???

also should be placed in C:\Users\yourname\flashTool\devices\F51XX

Hello everybody!

I was searching the web when I found this website (link: http://android-soluciones.blogspot.com/2016/12/archivos-eng-boot-samsung_27.html? ) offering the Engboot files for the SM-G93xx too, therefore, I downloaded this file "ENG_BOOT_G935F_PH3.tar" from the website and opened it with WinZip to confirm if it even stands up to basic scrutiny, it had a "boot.img" file in it, which seems legit. (Screenshot attached)

I then decided to download all of the S7 and S7 edge links on the website and zip them all up. So, well here you go!

Link to Folder: Google Drive link :fingers-crossed::):fingers-crossed:

Hope this is Legit!

UPDATE: Thanks to [MENTION=5063250]murtaza02[/MENTION], [MENTION=6185853]Rainbow_Dash[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3493119]GethPrime[/MENTION], we have confirmed that the Boot file is valid, however the Sboot file seems to be signed and has hints of it being a bootloader. If that is good enough for you, you may try and flash the file to your device! Though I am in NO way encouraging anybody to flash the files and will not be held liable for any damages.

By the way, All links have been updated to Google Drive!

UPDATE #2: Thanks to [MENTION=6185853]Rainbow_Dash[/MENTION] , who bravely flashed the Engkernel for his phone from the source website to his S6 Edge+ , we now know for sure that the at least the engkernels are VALID! Rainbow then also ran the root.bat file from here (Link: Root.bat XDA thread link). Result: The phone boots up and it shows that it is an Engkernel, furthermore, the root.bat worked and the S6 got root!

Disclaimer: Nobody who has contributed to this thread can be held responsible for any and all damages to your phone related to the content of this thread.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Random04:
This website has extracted these files from this website (Link: www.rohitfileserver.com ) which admittedly is not reputable too, but is more reputable than some random website on the internet, especially as it charges users to download the files from its server.

Edit: Additionally the Engboot Files are listed as for Exclusive users only.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] magikmichael:
Sooo what is this engboot for?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Random04:
Engboot files are bootloader files that are signed by the manufacturer (Samsung) so that they do not trip the flash counter (Knox) and disable things such as DM-Verity. They are primarily kept secret by the manufacturer and are used by the devs of that company, the No Knox rooting method for Snapdragon S7 and S7 edge was made possible through the leaking of the Engboot for Snapdragon firmware. Please correct me if I am wrong as I am quite new to the world of rooting and flashing, especially on Samsung devices. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] magikmichael:
Thanks for clearing this up. Didnt know this and i am not new to rooting. I've been around here since my HTC Wildfire. Would be awesome if its true so we can root without trippin knox 0x1.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Ivan_Meler:
Thing is files on that site are boot.img (Kernel with ramdisk and stuff and not the bootloader) so i dont really see how this would help on getting root while keeping knox efuse intact well if anyone is willing to flash these to test go ahead but i wouldnt advise so
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrous²:
So this is actually the engKernel and NOT engBootloader? If true, people already tried rooting using engKernel. Didn't work. DM-Verity kicked in upon reboot ever time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Random04:
There is an engineering boot file in the folder it is named in the name of ENG_SBOOT (if I am right).

Please don't try on Nougat as the files seem to be ordered by the last letters in their firmware. I am not sure what is the firmware number for Nougat, so if you would try please try after checking the firmware because flashing an Marshmallow bootloader to a Nougat ROM would probably almost definitely brick it. I recommend installing it on Marshmallow first.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Random04:
I guess we are waiting for the (proverbial) other shoe to drop? (i.e. Someone who was going to root their phone, warranty be damned and may try the files on their device) As it seems (at least to me) that the files are (at least) somewhat legit.

It seems to me that the real question is if the files will trip KNOX?

Hoping they will not! (for whoever feels brave enough to try :fingers-crossed: )

Thanks for the legit vote! I am definitely hoping this would work and have no intention whatsoever of spreading malware. By the way, I am currently also trying to open the file and check it out, as I am a total newbie, it would help quite a lot if someone experienced would like to check this out and confirm this is legit or malware. (hint, hint)

Otherwise, it may take me some time to figure this out. :(

By the way, Can anyone point me to a tutorial about opening boot.img and/or sboot.bin files on Windows (if possible) (maybe through Cygwin)? I would really appreciate it!

Edit: Thanks to jal3223, I am planning to check if these are valid files through comparing them side-by-side to the files that are confirmed legit for the S7 Active.

ENG_BOOT File is Legit!

Hello everybody!

I am happy to announce that at least the Eng_Boot file is legit. :highfive: :victory:

I ripped open the "boot.img" file and it seems that either it is a valid file or somebody spent quite a lot of time trying to disguise it. I was able to open the file by following this tutorial (Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-47wM9nmqyk) , which was in French unfortunately but you can follow it using the video instead. For those who don't want to watch the video, here are the instructions I followed:

1. Download this file (Original Link: (password is mw777 ): http://www68.zippyshare.com/v/p2WzK6Jp/file.html) (New Link (no password): boot.img Extractor.zip Google Drive link )

2. Extract the file and copy over the boot.img which you need to open to the folder where you extracted the file. (Screenshot attached)

3. In the File Explorer window, press the SHIFT key and right-click, in the right-click window that opens, select "Open command window here". (Screenshot attached)

4. In the cmd window that opens copy and paste this text: bootimg.exe --unpack-bootimg boot.img . Then Press Enter

Note: To paste in cmd you need to right-click, then select paste in the window that opens.

5. If you see something that is similar to Screenshot No. 4, then you have succeeded and would see something like Screenshot No. 3 in the folder.

6. Feel Free to check anything you want, I am calling this file legit by examining the contents and how much work it would take to disguise something as cleverly as this (if it is a false file) and then weighing the odds that it is valid, and I can say that there is 99% probablity that it is a valid eng_boot file.

NOTE: This post only says that ENG_BOOT is a valid file, I am still figuring out the ENG_SBOOT file. :):fingers-crossed:

By the way, any help on how to open the sboot.bin file would be appreciated. :) :good:

Edit: Just wanted to say, 1 down, 2 to go! (SBOOT and ROOT ? file)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrous²:
[MENTION=7554803]Random04[/MENTION] Maybe it would help if you could upload the files to more trustworthy file hosters. I'm trying to download the files you're providing and just clicking on the links (zippyshare, sendspace etc.) makes Malwarebytes vomit a million alerts. Especially sendspace is known to spread malware, so I advise people not to follow that link. You could use XDA, Mega, Google Drive, OneDrive or DropBox to name a few. People don't trust the files you're providing and you're not helping your case here. If it's monetizing downloads you're after, first I'd say that that's (AFAIK) against the guidelines of XDA and secondly, I'd recommend you use Uploaded since they're way more trustworthy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Random04:
Oh, ok I will update all of the links to Uploaded or Google Drive, when I get Home, I am out of the house right now. I actually just didn't know any good sites for uploading files it seems. :(

By the way, I do not make money off of anything I upload, that is just wrong and I am not even sure how to begin on that!

Thanks for pointing me towards Uploaded by the way! :good: :highfive:

Edit: I do not use XDA as they do not allow you to upload large files (over 20 MB)

Edit: Can somebody be a good samaritan and give links to some free and trustworthy upload sites, preferably ones with a VirusScanner, or I will now just provide an link to the Virustotal scan from now on!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrous²:
I really didn't mean to accuse you of something. Just guessing. My apologies. Google Drive is the one I'd recommend. If you use Uploaded, we, the people who want to download, will have to deal with download speed restrictions unless we pay money to Uploaded. I don't know of any filehoster with built in malware scanning.

Yep! I started this thread so people can verify these files and I could not dismiss these supposed ENG files as Malware, because I really wanted to get a No Knox Root for the S7 and S7 Edge (exynos). So far, I think that the kernel files are valid but I say nothing about the sboot files. Please note that I said that I think the kernel files are legit and that is why I made that extensive step-by-step guide to open boot.img files. (i.e. so other users can check it for themselves.)

Edit: Back to the matter at hand, Can anybody help in opening sboot.bin files?

But, can you please post about how you verified the sboot file, you know, for transparency? :good::D :cool:

Edit: I checked the folder that I uploaded and there does not seem to be a SBOOT file for the PH firmware, only an Eng_boot file. May I ask where did you find the sboot or am I missing something here? :confused: If I am, can you please clear it for me, as I self-profess to be quite new to Samsung devices. :D

Note: By missing something I mean if I am missing how the different parts of the firmware are named and etc.

Edit: You can find all Samsung firmwares here, Updato, and the XDA thread for the website here (Link: XDA Link).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rainbow_Dash:
Quite simple actually

Extracting the boot.img was a piece of cake inside it you will find a load of references to "samsungexynos8890" which makes me to belive it is indeed intended for a galaxy s7 edge also the build number "samsung/hero2ltexx/hero2lte:6.0.1/MMB29K/FA60_G935FXXU1APH3:user/test-keys" kinda speaks for itself

also i found the build date of "ro.bootimage.build.date=Fri Aug 19 13:31:18 KST 2016"

That can be found in default.prop and the first soc reference in cpuio

Even if lets assume the boot image is corrupt there is 0 chance of it bricking the phone (as a kernel dev myself) when a broken image or even one that isnt intended for said device will just go straight into download mode when rebooted,and if it does its just an odin flash away from fixing( i can say this from my own experience).

So the boot.img its safe to flash

The aboot.bin (which can be found on the same site in the archive "ENG_SBOOT_G935F_PI2") is a whole different story

Altho it is signed(in binary) and does have certain traces of being a bootloader and a certain line ( Samsung SK hynix Micron Unknown SM-G935F EXYNOS8890 %s default function used.) it can lead to device damage (hard bricks) and i wouldnt touch it myself and certainly would not flash it on my device even if there was a chance of it being legit

And btw since samsung bootloader downgrade protection exists you can't flash it anyways so.........theres that

(would test the boot.img (kernel) myself but i dont have an s7 edge so......)

EDIT: if anyone wants to check out the extracted boot.img here's a linkto it

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Random04:
Hi Rainbow_Dash,

I had been able to open the boot.img myself too, the sboot.bin file was another story!

So you are saying that because of the Samsung downgrade protection and the fact that you aren't going to flash the .bin that it may or may not be a valid file, Well then, Had a bit of pre-mature celebration there!

Edit: So are you saying that there is no definite way to know for sure about the aboot.bin?

Because that would be a real let-down
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rainbow_Dash:
At this time i am about 60% sure that the boot.img file is valid.And im not flashing it bcuz i dont have an s7 edge.

Theres no risk involved really. You cant brick an exynos phone by flashing just the wrong kernel.

So the kernel is 99% safe to flash

And yes you can't downgrade the bootloader so the aboot.bin is a lost cause (even tho it is a small chance it could flash depends on the firmware you are currently on)

and fun fact: the phone will not take the aboot.bin from odin and will spit a fail if it doesn't have samsung's signature but again i wouldnt dare to touch that if i were you

ENGBOOT for S7 and S7 Edge (Qualcomm/Exynos) (Untested) (Sorry, still Seems Legit)

Rainbow_Dash is only speculating like the rest of us at this point. Some of the bootloaders can still be flashed on the snapdragon variant despite "anti-rollback" fuses. Look at the U-firmware for example. The bootloader must be flashed with the package to make it work, yet the original firmware bootloader can still be flashed back when returning to stock firmware. Only certain firmware updates would not allow rollback bootloaders. The task would be to determine what firmware the bootloader is for would be in the first place. Someone with a cracked screen could try being that they are sending the device back anyways. Samsung doesn't charge to fix software issues anyways, only hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rainbow_Dash:
Depends on what you mean by me speculating

Want to find what firmware the bootloader was supposed to be packed with? Here it is "FA60_G935FXXU1API2" Open the bootloader and find it out for urself if you dont belive me

Just viewed the sboot.bin file through an Hex File Editor, don't know why I did not think of this before :confused: :o

and searching for Samsung seems to reveal a lot of what I would expect a bootloader to have. (i.e. Status for Secure Download, error messages and etc.

It certainly revealed a lot more than what I would consider the hints of a bootloader....

I did not mean to offend you. I just didn't want everyone giving up hope for something you are not even sure about. I feel it should be investigated further. I'm not sure how the Exynos models are but many snapdragon bootloaders are interchangeable.
