Hi there.. Do any of you here knows how to port the Kali linux nethunter?? The thread has been dormant and additional devices haven't been added (yet).. May I could port it myself? If anyone do know how to port it..

I'm planning to port the zip for gionee s plus, because I ported my custom ROM (AEX 4.3) from that device..

My stock is a MM 6.0

Mt6753

Kernel 3.18.19

Which is pretty similar.. I know I have to replace the zImage(kernel) in the zip.. But I ain't sure what to edit and/or replace other than the zImage.. So please if anyone can teach me it would be great!! Thanks!!

Hi. Tnx so much! Appreciating ur work already & keep up the excellent job!!

[MENTION=4763963]Brandon[/MENTION], from another similar thread, help created a "mtk" bootimg-file-based nethunter that actually worked on my Infinix HotNote (X551),but the issue is getting the boot-image "properly" patched to allow my ar9271 usb wireless recognizable by d nethunter, & start actual w-fi sniffing"

Currently, Brandon's Ubuntu PC is currently down, so i'm thinking of uploading my boot.img file & the flashable zipped boot-patcher(wrong boot block location!) created by Brandon so u could help me do all necessary correction to the accurate mtk's boot-block in the script files

Pls let me know so I can get all necessary files ready for uploading to provide you with their corresponding download links.

Tnx a-million!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Cm4nXD:
So here is the deal. All of the variants for the Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge now have unlocked bootloaders except the ones from the US, even the chinese qualcomm variants got unlocked bootloaders. The way they got the unlocked bootloader was through an unlock tool provided by samsung on the galaxy app store. My question of the day is...

Is this possible on the US variant?

Could a modified version of this app or straight up this app be used on the US variant?

My hope is that I can unlock the bootloader of my Verizon Galaxy S7 now that I have lived with this locked bootloader root for 8 months now, and possibly have it run the nougat firmware, rooted, and have TWRP.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Binary Assault:
Has it been determined why Samsung won't let the US unlock the bootloader? TWRP would be awesome..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] landshark68:
It's not Samsung, it's the US carriers who insist on the locked bootloaders. Your next question is probably going to be, "Why doesn't Samsung stand up to the carriers and insist their bootloaders be unlocked?" The answer is simple. Samsung is in the business of selling phones. They're not going to stay in business very long if they make that stand, and two of the largest carriers with the most customers (Verizon and AT&T) say, "Fine, we won't carry your phones then." The people who root their phones and care whether or not their bootloaders are unlocked are such a minute fraction of the total wireless carrier customer base, so the carriers stance on the bootloaders is not likely to change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
well said

Verizon and att kinda has Samsung by the balls they could go on without sammi

now sprint and tmob need Samsung plus all the little companys need Samsung now like lg

all the carriers have lg by the balls if u don't make the software how we want we wont sell ure ****.

Samsung could survive without the us carriers it would hurt em but they could survive

now lg on the other hand could not theyre mobile phones division would go down if it wasn't for the us carriers this has all been gone over in of the lg threads on the same thing no bl unlock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Now out of curiosity are these bootloaders locked or are they signed with a key???

If a key what kind of encryption is used?

I know the g4 is encrypted with a 256 bit key which is basicly unhackable at this point in time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Illogi.xbone:
Locked, tighter than Apple too! Maybe we will see an exploit one day, look a t the Note 4 which took a year, or was it longer?, and then look at the s4 and the others, ONE exploitable bootloader then its locked down. It doesn't affect me too much personally, getting Pixel when taxes come in, but would like to see it in the future since my S7 will be my go to backup.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Dycast:
Have not found a "place where this is being worked on" per-say, but please let it be known to any developers working on a method of unlocking the US S7/S7 Edge - I purchased an S7 Edge (T-Mobile) and shortly later ended up aquiring a S7 G930U - My understanding is that even though it's "U" It is only unlocked to use any carrier/sim, but still locked bootloader - which I would say seems true as it complained after the "soft-root" and me then enabling to many 'rooted' apps - causing a lockdown and no way around it but to re-flash.

** The reason for posting this ** - I am more than willing to 'test' any possible methods on the G930U that I have. I'm not a skilled android dev. but neither am I a novice, I am quite capable of providing any needed data, and also have quite a bit of software that could possibly help in finding answers, DFS and others. I also am very good at acquiring software, If there is anything I can do to help with this please get in touch with me!

Dycast - coming from my beloved rooted S4 as a crazed flash-a-holic - now with lovely S7's LOCKED to the hilt and hating it.. Like I just had a leash and muzzle strapped on.. If it wasn't for being able to play with the VR end of things I would just as well go back to my S4..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Silkmeister1:
No unfortunately not. THe chinese phone uses a special keycheck that the US variants don't have.

So when you use the app it sends a packet request for a non-existent key.

there was a whole thread about this and the guy tried to reverse engineer it and it wouldn't work :(

Silkmeister
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Mastor1337:
The reason why what works for the international variants of the s7 won't work for the United States ones is because the US ones use the qualcomm snapdragon. Two different processors. Also it is both the carriers and samsun who have a say in locking the bootloader. Samsung makes the devices it is their choice how they make it. Verizon and att models of samsung phones have always had locked bootloaders. Tmobile and sprint in the past have not. People were shocked the tmobile s7 had a locked bootloader. Even tmobile said it should not have been locked according to them. You never see unlocked bootloaders for iphones on any carrier because apple juat doesn't do it and also their software isn't open source like android is. The s8 is going to have a locked bootloader as well from what I have read. I am hoping tmobile goes back to their roots heh pun intended. So that we can get an unlocked bootloader for samsung phones again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
The question still remains, what makes it as locked as it is at this point? Is it because Qualcomm wrote the the original closed source code for Android's "aboot"? Or is it something that is more obvious?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Everything points to them just being signed now. So we cant flash anything thats not signed with lgs or in this case sammys key
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Theroose:
At this point it's been over a year now and still no unlocked bootloader. I'm dying without any custom ROMs like lineage is. I just love playing with my device. Can't they just let me do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
Realistically that shouldn't be hard to discover either. We know where to look for their encrypted key. In the footer of the .Tar files, and the last few bytes of the partition images. Now the question is, how we use DD to strip off all but like the last 2048 bytes of the boot.img's, to compare amongst the different incremental builds for the same device.

That should give us all the different keys generated from Samsung's private signing key. This gives us a method to reverse engineer the algorithm used to create the public keys from the private key. This in turn will then lead us to either A.) Reverse Engineer the actual private key, or B.) Give us an equation with which to generate our own key which the Device will accept.

Using [MENTION=7945178]droidvoider[/MENTION] 's Dirty cow based root console, we can pull the .pem files from the stock firmware, and also pull the other firmware specific certificates. Using his console along with combination firmware also allows us to mount the /system & /data partitions as RW in an environment which does not care about DM-Verity success. That gives us a route for installing a system-Ish root that can persist through a reboot without an eng kernel.

But if the signing keys are the last roadblock, I think the greyhat root project is almost done with that thanks to a the other member(s).

We will see soon.

There is something in this discussion that doesn't make sense. I have a 935U unlocked phone. Why is my bootloader locked? I have no carrier that funded this phone. I paid a premium to NOT have carrier baggage but yet here I am with carrier baggage... A locked bootloader. Having taken the Nougat update from Samsung and seeing how horrific they are in pushing themselves on me, is this more about Samsung trying to be like old Sony and Apple where they try to own you and less about the carriers? I hate this new Samsung ROM so bad that I might give this $700 phone e to my kids for Pokémon Go and buy a Pixel. I paid a premium to not have to deal with this. Is this really about Samsung over reaching and less about the carriers?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
It depends when you ask how close I am.

I am. And Im Not. I'm getting close to the signing mechanisms. But as far as full unlocking with sig verification off, IDK. I need help from a person or two who know how to disassemble things or can show me where to look to learn.

SM-930P with chinese firmware

Hello guys,

I'm a total newbie but I think that my phone might be an interesting 'case study' that could hopefully help you guys out! I bought an s7 while in China in a really dodgy shop and for really cheap too ( gaocaisj[dot]com/goods-603 ) . On the back of the phone the written model is SM-G930P. However I am positively sure that the firmware on it is CHINESE (G9300ZCU2APH1) and is fully operational

Out of curiosity I tried to execute the CROM app from the Galaxy Apps store but it showed me an error and did absolutely nothing.

You can see my phone info in the attached pictures. ( drive.google[dot]com/drive/u/0/folders/0BxMz9F0LZjZia0w1OVplbGFLaGs )

Also, when I get into download mode the model shows up as SM-930V

On another subject, I was hoping to flash the U firmware but I really don't know if that's just plain stupid or not given the weird phone/ firmware combinations I have so I would really appreciate any input on that matter.

If I can give you guys any more details just let me know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] NaCorL:
Wow this is the most confused phone I've ever seen. The software thinks its an almost 1 year old Chinese model firmware. The Bootloader appears to be the Verizon model. And the person selling it to you seems to have thought it was a Sprint model. WOW:p

BTW the first link shows a chinese 404 error and a missing kid. Derp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gwizzz:
Yes indeed, and I myself am confused too haha :P And the model number on the back cover is g930P (I guess I won't be testing the waterproofing on this guy...)

So is trying to flash the g930U firmware a terrible idea. I have to admit that I'm kind of lost in this mess...

Hope you guys can help me sort this out :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] NaCorL:
With how borked the whole thing seems, I would recommend just flashing all the latest firmware. I would recommend you try and flash the Unlocked firmware, the Sprint firmware, the Verizon firmware and the Chinese firmware. I wouldn't be surprised if none of them work but the one I would think might work the best would be the Verizon one cause it matches the bootloader. If all of them work, then you my friend have a very special phone but that is almost certainly not the case.

BTW I would recommend transferring all this information to a separate thread so we don't drive this one off course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] abittercoffee73:
Sorry for the offtop, but I just want to know HOW exactly the US S7's bootloader is locked?

I take it that you cannot flash anything with Odin because the Download mode is checking the transferred files to be signed with the key and if they are not, it discards them. And I take it that the "Update bootloader" function in Odin also goes through the Download mode which now is locked down by the requests of carriers.

Am I right? Is that all?

PS: We also cannot boot directly into the bootloader because it's not the Samsung way.

It appears the download mode is checking signatures.

That article was published over a year and a half ago. Do you really think using stock tools available to everyone, a solution to unlocking the bootloader exists and everyone here just overlooked it? I'm not trying to be snarky here, just realistic. If you think it's promising give it a shot; if you brick you can always return to stock with Odin.
