Elephone B Version 2016 CyanogenMod 13 ?

it was funny how I realized mine was the new version now
I made this thread here so you guys can discuss, this is for information to others who have gotten the new elephone
1) How do we get root ?
No, there isnt any proper recovery last @Emileh ported it did not work very well you are able to flash it the recovery but you are unable to boot back into the system it just stuck at the elephone logo.
2) as of now we only have one rom that has been up here and running K06TE-A.A.vR14.E1.160707 (2016 Version)
K05TS-A.A.vR1E.E2.160217 (2015 Version)
3) cosmetic mixed up (happens alot on chinese phone)
my front is the old 2015 version cover but my back is the new fingerprint cover (possible you can confirm with that is the new elephone you have if you are not sure.
4) so no root and no cyanogenmod and no recovery ?
as of now Im not sure about root, cause I did tried to flash recovery from @Emileh but I could not boot back to android os, so we cant flash supersu,
kingroot and others dont work !
also there some memory layout changed, so it will render the android 5.1 roms useless, please dont try unless you know what you are doing and know how to recover from mediatek usb port
5) will CyanogenMod 13 work ?
to be honest we need a fully working recovery.
maybe there can explain and clear anything more that I left out, I have just gotten the phone
@skeleton1911 @BlueFlame4 @Emileh @Deepflex
somehelp would be nice. thanks would be nice to get cm13 for both the 2015 and 2016 working

Hey,
well the 2015 and 2016 versions are basically two different devices - despite having the same name they share very little. A unified CM 13 build is thus not only difficult to establish but I would even say that it makes things more complex than developing two single versions. That said, CM 13 for the 2016 should be rather easy to bring up because it ships with 6.0. Basically you could take Deepflex's P9000 tree, change it according to the 2016_P8000 and boom - should work. With that you can then of course also compile a working recovery to achieve root That's the theory at least

Is that so but we have yet to achive root and figure out what is the internal changes between those two? Maybe @Deepflux can lend a helping hand in this wish you could help out @BlueFlame4, cause I finally had the money to get this phone possible if you could look into the recovery issue on why it does not boot after flashing it aka bootloop at elephone logo

** Attempted to Port and it does not work. did repack twice.

Hey. Just saw this topic.
I made a better version of the recovery (but forgot to post it), which is actually able to flash roms. It now also mounts everything properly. Flashing root on stock rom works 100%. (only thing not working in ADB, I think).
I will upload it later.
Problem is, there are no roms (expect stock, which you flash using SP Flash Tools). You can't flash the roms that other have made for the old version of the phone. Doesn't work like that.

yeah @BlueFlame4
mention something about cyanogenmod from @Deepflex, could it be this ?
https://github.com/Deepflex/android_device_elephone_p8000/commits/master
hopefully we can get cyanogenmod working, possible if you release the recovery ? is it TWRP ?

I was talking about this. You have to adapt it to the P8000 and have to use a 3.18 kernel (+ M blobs) though.

there isnt any 3.18 kernel that was released right ? m blobs can be extracted question is why won't your cm13.1 work on the new elephone ? memory changes ? it is still same soc right or there is something different quite confused.

Problems with Lineage OS

Hi, I'm not sure if it's the right section where to post such a thread but I didn't found a better one for my problem.
I flashed lineage-14.1-20170213-nightly-find7s-signed.zip on my rooted Find 7 (2k version so Find 7s) with TWRP following all the standard steps (full wipe, ROM and gapps install, wipe cache/dalvik and than reboot).
Than when the ROM flash was finished (it took not as much as I thought) I rebooted and my screen become white with a grey OPPO logo in the middle and purple "powered by android" at the bottom (the usual power up screen but with inverted colors) and when I touch the screen it makes quick flashes with flashing black horizontal lines and it keeps being stuck in that way for minutes (way too much and it keeps doing that also after many reboots). The only way to recover the phone is to flash again Color OS (Android 5.0).
So i was wondering what's the problem with that ROM? How can i upgrade my old Android 5.0 to a newer 6.x or 7.x? Is there any rock solid ROM compatible with my F7s that I can flas with no such problems ?
Thankyou all for help!

OmniROM 6 is a mature and solid daily driver with the option to try OmniROM 7 which is still being improved regularly. Arguably the best ROM for Find 7.

It also has LVM support which allows you to merge your partitions so you will have more than 3gb of space for apps.
I've been running it for months, there are a few things that I miss from previous roms but is very stable and since this phone is getting old the ROM choices are getting slim. It's also the only one I can find that still supports LVM.

Thankyou both for helping me I found a list of omnirom ROMs in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/orig-development/omni-testbuilds-7a-7s-t3237065 , can i choose one of the last 6.0.1 to be sure it will work or can I trust the 7.1.1 updates?

You can trust both! And im not a hyper flashholic....

Just another few questions, LVM means that i can unify partitions in order to have more than 3 GB on device memory, right? I found that thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55187001&postcount=558 is it better to use the .iso or the .zip to apply LVM? And when do I have to apply the LVM setup, before or after flashing the new ROM/Gapps?
Thanks again

Guys, thanks to all of you! Really, you all made my day with all your advices
With past ROMs i was desperate because none of them worked but now i got rooted android 7.1.1 with merged partitions on my dear Find 7 so thanks again for helping me!

Is there more ROMs?

I recently purchased an tab S4 just an update from my previous Samsung tablet. I was wondering is there more ROMs for this tablet or ROMs currently in development? I noticed theres like 2 ROMs for this tablet. I have a note 8 and I'm currently running deluxerom on and it, and I really enjoy the tweaks and customization I'm able to do. I was looking for a same kind of feature for my tablet. Would greatly appreciate the answers I'm looking for. Thanks!

Pretty much zero support. You can get a few 9.0 GSI ROMs to boot, but they all have issues. Mine has been sitting around since it was purchased while still using my old 2014 model.

I had thought the same thing, but it seems the S3 is the last tablet to get real support.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
Some of the ones for 9 will work, but most features won't work too well, if at all.
You might be able to get another rom to work, I know I had no luck. Even trying ones with similar hardware, they all failed to even flash since the booting numbers are different.
Kind of have to be satisfied with Samsung, half baked custom roms or sell the thing.

Hey Veekay I tried it and you're right unfortunately I came across the same issue as you brother
Now I'm stuck and I need help sorting my device out, was wondering if you knew this issue or could help?
When I got the stock firmware back and then when I flash TWRP with odin after going into TWRP I get 0mb as internal
so when I format and then go back into my load up the screen after SAMSUNG says "verification failed" and then reset
on the bottom. I tried other options as well. Without even wiping on TWRP the devices boots up into the setup wizard for the firmware fine
but after I wipe TWRP so I can get access to my internal drive my samsung boots into that verification reset screen. Got any clue as to how I can
resolve this issue? Thanks a bunch!

Have you tried just reloading the latest stock firmware from scratch?

Yup, its unfortunate that there isn't much community support for this device. The Tab S4 is Project Treble supported and a few GSI ROMS do work. But as others have said they are unstable and not for use as a daily driver. We have a few discussion threads here talking about them.

Would that work? If I did that I would still be able to download and install TWRP and have a root? Because of it being PIE

Sorry,but I don't understand what do you mean " without stock rom and only twrp"...
you can install a Gsi rom, with two ways
Via TWRP, or Via Fastboot : https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/ (Tab S4 is a-only arm64)
for any other question, it is better to ask in the thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...vice-development/aosp-9-0-phh-treble-t3831915
(read carefully in OP & you can post,every single question there for your device,and you will get certainly help from the developer or from any other user..)

You are going to have to just wipe it and start over from square one, unless you made a TWRP backup before starting all of this.
Download and flash the latest stock rom from recovery and then you can load twrp again.

I was looking at the possibility of using GSI's on some devices, and while they can offer new life to older devices, they're not entirely stable all the time unless you're willing to make your own changes. I know Lineage has made some excellent progress, but it's not fullproof yet and I wouldn't try it unless you're willing to not use your device as a daily use device.
I had an extra T-Mobile Revvlry which is basically a rebranded Moto g7 Play that I installed the Lineage GSI image and it works fairly well. However, this is more the exception to the rule and Moto devices, I feel, are far simpler in design vs certain Samsung devices. It also had a ton of trial and error involved for me to get it up and running properly.

Is it possible as the s4 becomes older, more people buy it and Samsung stops releasing official updates that someone will come along and create a ROM for it? Or is it more like Samsung locked the bootloaders and its close to impossible to write a ROM for it? Is it still possible to root the s4?

Thanks. I took a quick peak at the roms and kernels in the roms and kernels forum and they are pretty much all abandoned.
Someone did mention that the LOS 16.0 and ArrowOS GSI's work alright but are a bit buggy.

samsung,maybe at the end of july to give the upgrade to android 10....it is very likely to happen I think
yes,all Gsi Roms still have various problems unfortunately...
my opinion is: stay to stock rom for now....you can "uninstall" many applications if you want & without root, via "samsung package disabler"(paid) from playstore, or with this way:
https://beebom.com/how-remove-bloatware-android-without-root/
also,you can Install "NiceLock Downloader Companion App" ,to add some features on your device : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/nicelock-module-download-links-module-t3923844
with this way I operate my device until now..

really small amount of custom roms

Hey
I was just wondering why there is not that many custom roms.
I come from a pocoophone and there was nearly daily new roms .

- not a lot of devs have this device
- people that do have this device don't have resources to build
- check telegram, there are roms, just ask around

No hype, no sales, no development.

I bet OnePlus 6/6T is having more ROMs

Kind of wondered the same thing, also coming from a pocophone. I had planned to go custom, but now question if it is even worth it as there seems to be little support. I haven't run non-aosp on a phone in forever.
---------- Post added at 12:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------
Also curious how you find these groups - only thing I know when it comes to telegram is clicking on a link to a chat.
Found a group, but of course no links to the chinese twrp. Only links I have found are on weibo and just end up looping around

Other people will disagree but having no working twrp is a big factor. Let's see what happens when OnePlus release there android 11 mash up maybe we will have twrp working and more interest ?

This TWRP works fine for flashing and decrypting on custom ROMs. So it's not that.
And Android 11 will not magically fix everything, if anything, it'll break things like encryption even more.
TWRP is has lots of progress as of late, fastbootd tools has been implemented, dynamic partitions are better handled. Only significant thing left would be ADB sideload.

The decryption is broken because of OnePlus poor implemention of keymaster. Android 11 is once again changing keymaster which will break decryption even on devices that can successfully decrypt on Android 10. This means it will take time for TWRP to properly support decryption on Android 11.
When that happens, decryption might work for 7T/Pro because now OnePlus has to reimplement the new keymaster,. hopefully right this time.
As for flashing ROMs, just use adb push on your PC and push it to /cache or /mnt, then you can flash easily.

I am pretty sure you can just use WSL / 2 on Windows if you don't have Linux installed.

Everything has been built and shared over the last year. Name a rom. It's been built already. If you want more android R roms, just wait they're coming. But... Twrp works fine. Even on oos. Use LR Team Twrp (aka chinese twrp) it works perfectly. Flash away or what knot, I have never heard anything about a broken keymaster. that's the first I heard of that one. Flash whatever, build whatever, enjoy phone fun.

It absolutely does decrypt on oos. One must do a full format in twrp first. Then it works perfectly, every feature, 100%. Yes, I did du for 7t in December last year, or January.

Indeed it does you do a full format it works but then reboot and it's the same won't mount anything same as before.

Question Are custom recoveries (TWRP) being worked on for this device?

I'm really keen on the hardware of this device and want to know if its likely that we'll get TWRP + Custom Roms for it?
Not a big fan of MIUI and Xiaomi have hinted that they won't support this device for that long

I know what the MUIPRO team has on our TWRP device + firmware, but for now their site is moving ((

Nice to see that they finally created a forum for the 12X! Overall I hope that TWRP and Custom Roms will come to the 12X sooner or later, I thinks it's still a new device (and not on the cheap side), so eventually developers will get their hands on it.

Chinese developers have made TWRP for 12x,But it is encrypted and needs special tools to flash.
