Sac´s ROM with NB8 bootloader!

Hi!
Sorry to post this here but I´m not allowed to post in his thread, but here´s my question:
Is there any way of installing this ROM on a phone with new NB8 bootloader? All I saw was you need MF9 bootloader but there must be another way this ROM looks really interesting to me!
Thanks in advance!

Hi thanks for your answer but he wrote you need MF9 bootloader.
But I think when you have the old Bootloader this ROM won't upgrade it, maybe that's the reason.

Well the bootloader is newer on the 1 you have so I'd imagine you wouldn't get any wifi or other sound issues ?
You can always attempt it but back up your present ROM in case it fails
Or send sac's a pm ?

Ok i'll try that. Thank you anyway!

i added another PRF, this time for locked bootloaders, using latest nuts dual recovery, to use on stock kernel.
regards.

Model??? D6653?

The kernel he's using appears to be for 6603, but I'm not sure which is for. I'm waiting for a response from OP before trying it.
edit:
actually his signature says 6603 so I'm going to assume its for that variant

It's for "normal" z3.. D6603
Regards.

NUTS .22 beta doesn't work!
Im unable to enter the recovery.... thx for that!

Hi i have decided to try out your work. but it seems that Nuts DualRecovery is not working. Yes, you have included dualrecovery in your work but when i installed it on my device i can't boot into recovery mode. and now I'm screwed up.. I have to search for a work around for this one. I hope you have tested your work first before putting it to the public. anyway, its .200 though. thanks

Does this(23.4.A.1.200)update fix
all stagefright vulnerabilities?
Official stagefright detector
and

Null IMEI ONLY on Lollipop/Marshmallow

Hey guys, I have a problem. My IMEI nullified after I flashed a Marshmallow custom rom. I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/help/config-factory-partition-backup-t3316469 . My IMEI is back. After, I updated my zenfone 5 via FOTA, and from the last kitkat firmware I updated to Lollipop. IMEI is gone. After, I followed again the tutorial, and restore my lollipop backup from twrp. IMEI is gone again. I tried too restore mymmcblk0p3 backup from kitkat, but nothing changed. What I do please?
A BIG SORRY for my bad english.
EDIT: baseband null too
EXTRA INFO: My IMEI nullified after I restore a lollipop backup (when I quitting marshmallow)

Me too, after flash rom 6.0.
In LP5.0; Imei,baseband has lost

system fault i think
try this :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If anyone is facing this problem then Download Firmware from Asus site. Make sure it's same sku and variant, flash or sideload or install it from sd card method. After installation, power off and charge ur phone for 5-6 hours. Boot into phone let it Complete the boot process.. Check ur IMEI it would be fix.

So I got this OTA update before I finally decided to root/unlock/etc my device. After success with rooting and unlocking the bootloader, I simply can not get any custom recovery to work. Sadly I have seen the problem mentioned several times here on this forum with no answers.
Basically, after a successful installation of a recovery (via android terminal method or pc/fastboot method), I'll boot the phone into fastboot, then select 'recovery.' Screen goes to black, vibrates twice, and reboots to fastboot instead. Only after I boot normally, then reboot into fastboot and try to select recovery again does it boot into a error message (instead of bootlooping), and after 30 secs it loads what I assume is some version of stock recovery.
Can OP ( or anyone else) lend their thoughts?

Nicely done!
I will definitely have to try this out when I receive mine in a cpl days.
I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to manually change the GSM band frequencies to match a U.S. based carrier? I'm going to be using the Elephone S8 and iron Metro PCS carrier. I'd really like to have more than a 2G-3G speed capability on such a nice budget phone.

Hello!
My Elephone S8 arrived today and I like it very much so far. But like on all of my phones & tablets I'd like to have root access to install a firewall, deal with autostarting apps, etc.
Has anyone tried a one-click-root sollution with success? I tried out Kingo root, towel root, kingroot, oneklickroot, root genius, drfone and root master but none of them worked.

I was going to root my phone today with the suggested method and now I'm glad I did not. I think I will wait for a working one-klick-solution without modding the system files.

So, what does that mean? Will the OTA updates never work on a rooted device, no matter how it was rooted?

Hello skeleton1911.
I flashed your boot.img and my Elephone S8 is rooted. Thank you. But as mentioned before, the OTA update detected root and refused to update. So I flashed the boot.img from the stock ROM and bricked the phone. It will not boot up. So I have to flash the root back again to start the phone.
Is there a way to unroot the phone so that it can be updated? Thank you!
