Wow two updates thats more than I expected for a cheap Android phone. Makes me a little upset that I had to stop using this phone to switch to T-mobile

Update will be available around Januari-Februari 2016. Very good of HTC for the support at 8xx series.

This update will come with sense 7.

yeah

What about 816g

yeah

That's a nice support from HTC, on contrary Samsung just cares about its latest flagships

Too bad updating after being rooted is a pain in the butt. Perhaps when it comes out, it'll convince me to go the custom rom route.

yeah

Will be avaible in 2nd quarter 2016

Well! Maybe we will come next month.

I wonder if this method will be implemented on our devices as well. It will make life a lot more easyer ... http://androiding.how/use-sd-card-as-internal-storage-marshmallow/

If this is not the official firmware, it will help CM13.

i rooted my 816g cuz the low internal memory space so is there a way to upgrade to 6 when it comes out ?!

I have the 816 a5_chl virgin mobile rooted and you would need to unroot through your SuperSU app in it's settings as well as undo any other system changes you might have made like Xposed frameworks for example then find and flash back your stock phones recovery, lock your boatloader then you could update. The less you have changed your stock system the easier it will be to restore it so that any " signed" stock update file will flash. These "signed" update files check the stock system before updating and any changes usually stop it . Hope this helped.

What happens if you are coming from a custom ROM like CM? I don't think there is any stock firmware for the a5_CHL, but I could be wrong. Maybe I could flash a different variant's version?
Not sure if you know, I'm wondering out loud. Thanks.

Actually I do but just because I found out from someone else while I went looking for a flashable zip for my ROM. HTC has the executable RUU file in it's downloads section of it's website for the U.S. variants of it's phones. This file downloaded to your P.C. can be run as an executable program hooked to your phone by USB with the phone in hboot/fastboot mode but you must first reflash your models stock recovery , found elsewhere not at HTC site, and relock your boatloader then run the exe program. It wipes the whole phone and reformats it back to pure stock of whatever current version the file is. I found the a5_chl stock recovery on a couple of linked sites that had a flashable zip of it. I also believe you can flash this RUU(Rom update utility) as well from ADB/fastboot but I've never tried that method.
There are also just flashable zips of this version on the web, not executable, and I believe I even downloaded one but again I used the RUU on mine. Only issue I had was to get into stock recovery I had to hold the power button and volume up to get the recovery then release volume button immediately after for recovery to show even after booting into stock recovery to get pass a red ! In a square that showed up. I believe that it was because HTC recovery can tell the system had been altered, rooted, whatever and this was a notice to any tech that the phone had been altered. I didn't care because I was out of warranty anyway. I just wanted to get back to stock to do an update. Others haven't had this issue but I bring it up because I did. My stock recovery was flashed but I had to get past that red ! in a square so I could enter hboot/fastboot mode. Don't flash the the wrong firmware or it could soft brick your phone. Hard brick if your S off. Verify model firmware and carrier version before flashing anything.
Below is htc link but you'll still need stock recovery zip file. Also make sure you backup your current ROM in custom recovery and save it to external SD card and or P.C. Just in case something goes wrong you still have a backup of your current setup and ROM.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
---------- Post added at 02:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 AM ----------
And here's a link in XDA with a link to the stock recovery and instructions on how to do it. A senior member said he didn't have to relock his boatloader and it worked but you could try it that way first and if it fails just lock the boatloader knowing that it wipes your phone when you do so backup your contacts etc with Google's own contacts and phone numbers backups and or titanium backup or super backup apps from the play store. I use all 3.

Please help upgrading Nexus 7 stock 4.4.4

About a year ago I was going to upgrade my nieces stock Nexus 7 wi-fi tablet on 4.4.4 but come to find out there was some bug in the OTA update that would brick the tablet. You had to jump through a bunch of hoops to update it like factory reset. Once my niece heard erase she didn't want any part of that. Fast forward to now and she got a fitbit type device and the software isn't compatible with the current version of the OS. So my question is...Is that bug fixed so I can take the OTA update now or do I still have to jump through all those hoops to do it? If I do have to jump through the hoops then how do I do it? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I did update a few days ago and it was ok untill it was time of the 5.1.1 update - brick, so I downloaded nexus root toolkit to get it quickly done.
Make backup using gmail or just root using nexus tool, backup with titanium backup and update to 5.1.1 or custom without worry

Go to settings, about device, updates and install all the way up to 5.1.1, it might be a few updates. If the error shows then just use toolkit to recover nexus from soft brick and that's it

The stock 5.1.1 image makes the Nexus 7 really laggy, even when running the ParrotMod fix found in another thread.
My recommendation would be to run Pure Nexus ROM by GtrCraft (links are in the Download section for ROM and GApps, which you need for Google App Store and services). Of course, use the Nexus Toolkit or TWRP as the easiest ways to flash.
Then, flash the ParrotMod fix by parrotgeek1 to help speed it up.
Once all done, it should be as fast as it will get and you won't have any updates or OTA updates to install. Pure Nexus ROM has SuperSU in it, so it will be rooted. Some apps will not work when rooted, so keep that in mind (mainly banking and some streaming apps).

Well I would rather not have it rooted if I can help it. I don't want my niece getting into anything a messing it up. I have read that the marshmallow pure aosp is much smoother or was that what you were talking about? Can I flash that with the nexus tool? I want to keep everything buttoned up for her.

You can use tool to flash recovery TWRP, then boot recovery copy rom aosp or slim or whatever you like, flash it and you're good to go. It'll take up to 15min.
Just read rom description and follow install instruction

Sorry for my ignorance but if I use the aosp rom I would have to keep it rooted or no? When I updated to 5.1.1 I just unlocked the BL and then flashed 5.1.1 and then relocked it. Should I have installed a recovery? I didn't think I should since I didn't want to keep it rooted.

There really isn't anything to mess up when the tablet is rooted. It mainly just gives you access to more settings and more customization.
If you are dead-set on using a non-rooted ROM, you could also use CyanogenMod, which is updated regularly.

"New" comer here, I need some help please

Of course we can get your started but see
But first you must answer us these question three.
Why do you want root?
Do you have a computer? (This is a must for root.)
Are you ready to be disappointed?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/how-to-root-s7-edge-t3410470
follow this (use odin to flash rooted kernel) ......you should search before posting things like this.....google is your friend bro.
GOOD LUCK - BTW use flash fire app in play store to make backups and flash roms

Okay okay.
A quick glance at T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion would have led you to the "How to root the S7 EDGE" thread.
I'd take a look in there if I were you.

Well while I was waiting I just rooted it. So what do you think that would be the next step towards installing a rom? To answer your survey questions :laugh: :
1- Because a phone without being rooted is like a bird without wins.
2- I do
3- Oh well... tell me more

Well then.
Rooting the phone (as I'm sure you had already found out) was fairly easy.
BUT... since we do not have an unlocked bootloader then we cannot have any custom recovery. Which means we can only (for now) use adb and Fireflash to flash any custom firmwares. And while we're on the subject of that... there is only one custom rom. Well... technically there are two but only one for you since you updated to the latest firmware.
Echoe ROM which was updated (ummm...) September 9th (not including the Verizon version which might work but with no promises)
Tekxv2 which was updated back in July. Unfortunately, that is flashed by adb (computer required) and only supports G935TUVS3APD8 which is... pretty old.
Things that you may notice with root.
Battery life may be shorter.
Strange icons on your status bar.
Might start to have random reboots for absolutely no reason.
Can't use Samsung Pay and some other apps.
Phone might be laggy.
Phone might feel hot.
Some of those can be resolved by flashing the only custom rom that we have (Echoe ROM... which is a rather nice rom) but it's not "there" yet.
Or you can use the guide in my signature to resolve issues like the lag and the strange icons. Yet even after the "fix" you might still experience both again from time to time.
You might even have the IMS force close issue which I used to get about once a month. It would piss me off because no sooner that you click the button, it'll pop up again and you don't have time to do anything. You're pretty much forced to reflash stock, wipe, re-root, restore a latest backup... which can take hours and is rather inconvenient if it happens to you while you're at work like it always seemed to happen for me.
SO...
All in all... root is okay. It's better than nothing I suppose. But until we get more developer support for this phone then in my opinion it's kinda pointless in my opinion.
Too many drawbacks. I eventually unrooted two weeks ago and I love my phone now. I'm using the heck out of Samsung Pay especially since their promotions are pretty nice right now! Plus a few members are testing the Nouget update which probably won't be getting root at all since rooting requires an engineering kernel which we don't have and might not get. Or an unlocked bootloader which we've pretty much given up on.
A lot of members that are testing the Nouget beta firmware are extremely satisfied with it so if we can't root Nouget then having a rooted S7 will probably fade away as more people update to Android 7+. That's where I see this going anyway.

So for what I understood the dev support for this phone is very limited... I know the issues I may encounter, I had them with the galaxy note. but any way... If something I'll unroot it but I want to try it out Thank for you time. I've rooted it.
EDIT: Damn... I really don't like the visual style of Echoe... is that one the only one I can flash??

How are you doing with the ads? Like youtube, pandora, spotify? I just installed xposed and the phone feels very hot, and If I unroot it (which I'm thinking to do) I won't be able to get things without ads (I know about vpns and browsers). Also how can I install teaks for apps? Installing apks from pages that promise you this and you have to log in is very untruthful. Any suggestions to all this?

In all reality, I don't use my phone for the purposes that require my viewing of ads to begin with.
Sure when I was rooted I had adblocker. But honestly, I had completely forgotten all about that benefit of being rooted until now.
I suppose if you absolutely need to be rid of ads then by all means, retain root. However ads don't effect my daily use one bit.

You're probably trying to flash a firmware with a V3 bootloader over G935TTMB4APK1.
If you were seriously following that (outdated) guide step by step then you tried flashing TMB_G935TUVU3APG1.zip over a PK1 firmware. Yeah... that doesn't work.
Download the latest firmware from sammmobile.

You should flash everything.
BL= Bootloader (which should be V4 since you updated to the latest firmware already. Anything less than V4 will fail.)
AP= Is for System, Cache, kernel, etc.
CP= Is for modems
CSC is for your HOME_CSC_TMB_G935TTMB4APK1_CL9507190_QB11413830_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 file.
Important! If you use the CSC_TMB_G935TTMB4APK1_CL9507190_QB11413830_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 (doesn't have the word "HOME" in the name) then it'll wipe your phone!
If your phone still says "CUSTOM" on it then make sure that reboot and check again. If it still says custom then make sure that you don't still have the engineering kernel. Re-flash the AP files again if so. It shouldn't though if it's 100% stock. Also note if you saw the unlocked padlock on the S7 Edge splash screen (before the bootanimation).
Good luck and happy New Year.

Need your Opinion

So i'am getting my Axon 7 in some days.
I don't really wanna stay stock, but also dont want to run any unstable rom.
So i was thinking about flashing RR + A.R.I.S.E..
Can you recommend me any rom, kernel, mod?
And are there any rom compatible restrictions for the different models?
thx

Hmm i recommend you stock because when you switch to custom you will not get full Axon 7 experience (especially audio) you will not get 100% audio in custom like in stock. Stock isn't bad - nearly like clean Android despite may 2 or 3 APS that you can disable in system. Said far I have Axon since December and firstly I want to switch to custom but I will if Axon will not get Oreo and custom will have Oreo. So as far - most stable and usefully in everyday use is stock.

Hope you got an A2017U - both the G and chinese versions don't have any kernels made for them. I'd also advise staying on stock. There's a Dual boot patcher, seems like a good idea if you want to run another OS besides stock.
But I tell you, no other ROM runs like Stock does right now. and it's been more than a year since they launched the phone, so at least until Android O launches I wouldn't expect that to change

Nope, you're getting the A2017G
I have one, and besides the lack of kernels, I can't complain really. It works.

I think i can live without a custom kernel.
Then i think i wont even root, because unlocking bootloader looks kinda messy to me.
Still have my Nvidia Tab's to play around with so the Axon 7 can stay completly stock.

It's not that messy if you use Controllerboy's guide or maybe axon7toolkit (it should do it all by itself)

And they are completely compatible with the 2017G? (sry just saw it in the thread)
Sry for all that noob questions, but all my device i justed before just hadn't different models.
And rooting should break ota's right?

They are. Actually the guide is ONLY for the A2017G.
And OTAs are broken out of the box but you just download the official ZIP and put it on the root of the internal storage or the SD and go to Updates, and it does the process just like an OTA. You can also do this to upgrade or downgrade to MM, even if your device is fully stock, locked bootloader and everything

I live in France and bought mine with Amazon from Germany. So it's a G model. Stock works fine and I think you really don't need to root this device. I've only change the launcher by Nova which brings a much better user experience.

Stock is much better than LOS, OR or Nuclear. I am trying to get back to Stock.

Well if you want to get back the best way is to drop an official full update zip from ZTE on the internal storage, use a flashable recovery zip like those tron1 makes, then use TWRP's reboot to recovery button, and flashing that update zip through there.

My way to RR was the bad battery and sot on stock. I got 4 hrs but that's not enough for me.

Then i think i will root.
To unlock bootloader and flash TWRP with the Toolkit.
1. Do i have to dowgrade to mm to use the toolkit or should it work with latest OTA?
2. Can i still flash the Updates with twrp?

1. Just try to use it. I expect it to workk, but never used it myself. Better ask @bkores
2. Usually you can, the best way is to flash tron1's flashable OTAs (if you have TWRP) cause he gets rid of the recovery file though. If you try to flash an official zip with TWRP it might work (i flashed full B04), but TWRP will get replaced with the official recovery. You just flash it again

1) Stay STOCK
2) Avoid completely unlock the phone, root, etc etc
3) Buy a U (American) version
4) Stay STOCK !!!

SUEZ - Available Roms? / Customize stock amazon rom?

1) Is there a list of available Roms for this tablet?
2) If there isn't a list of roms, perhaps people could post the ones they have and I can make a new post containing links to roms that I will maintain as long as people let me know when/if links die.
*Old roms are just fine, just as long as they are unique.
3) Are there any amazon stock roms available I can flash with TWRP?
*I didn't know if you can somehow flash an amazon stock rom with it and then just customize it, pre root it? then make an image of it myself with TWRP.
Wishful thinking, is it that simple?
Also if there are any knowlageble people on any of this subject we should make an IRC channel on libera.chat.. I can start if if there is interest.
Thanks,

Thanks, yeah... I was looking more for a method to flash via twrp and not use anything stock other than the OS image. There were a couple releases of two different roms that were pre rooted stock. I didn't know how popular those were.
I'm just running into weird issues. I have an app I'm writing in processing.org for andriod and the frame rates I'm getting varies so much on different roms. The rom i'm using is one of these
lineage-12.1-20200505-UNOFFICIAL-suez
lineage-14.1-20190926-UNOFFICIAL-suez
Super old, but honestly if that's what I get, that's what I get.
I tried this too
5620_Fire_HD_10_pre_rooted_optimized_stock_rom-signed
Based on how all this stuff works, I didn't know if I had the ability to download the latest amazon image and make my own flashable rom to "try out" vs be in a situation where I would update it all and then not able to go back. I'd rather not.
Thanks for the response.

are you want stock rom and root it or what ?
try stock rom and root it mgisk from twrp

I would like to try all the available roms to figure out which one works the best with the app I'm writing.
But I only want to try roms flashable with TWRP.

Best rom for this device is
5.1.1

Have a file name of that rom so I can google sleuth and give that a try?
You know I was tempted to make a post that just has a link to all the roms available.

Is found here 12.1 Cyanogen

Is that this one? lineage-12.1-20200505-UNOFFICIAL-suez.zip
