How would the radio break when you root? - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

I know there are ways around breaking the radio, but I'm just really curious. How would rooting break the radio? Does it have something to do with the weird encryption that comes on some Marshmallow devices now? Thanks.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but that was only in the early root guides. I think its been fixed because even after a week and a half after the launch, I rooted and didn't lose radios. Just follow the original root guide and you'll be fine. Or just install twrp and then leedroid or viper rom and make it much simpler for yourself

true the previous version of supersu rooting used to mess up encryption and break your signal post which they had set the flag to enforce encryption and thus letting you root and retain radio but then if you decrypt your data manually you used to lose radio again..
but now almost all of the custom roms like ice lee viper does let you root and decrypt data and radio works fine...
i have tried it on ice and lee both works fine and i am currently decrypted with super 2.74-2 system mode from su thread

So it does have something to do with the encryption
Side question for you - Have you noticed performance differences between encrypted and non?

Personally, I haven't noticed much difference, if any, at all between encrypted and unencrypted. Haven't bothered running any benchmarks, though, either.

also the losing of the radio during root, like said in pervious post is a thing of the past, fixed like the first week. Just make sure your using the latest twrp recovery, and this su

No decrypted devices are always faster in performance due to less layer of security while ur soc tries to access files . but then again those differences are very hard to notice . . . encrypted devices are always a bit slower than decrypted. . .

Your best bet is to ask in the rom thread. I have yet to flash anything on my P607T other then rooting. It looks like Dev work is very slow for this tablet. So you may not get a 100% working AOSP rom any time soon. Stock rom is really fast and sable once you root and deboat it. That is what I am sticking with for awhile.

Your best way is to just use TB and froze whatever you do not want. If you run into problems just unfroze it. If you uninstall and you run into a bootloop you will need to have the stock Odin firmware ready. here is a link to get the stock odin file.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29807
I just uninstalled whatever I did not want. If you google What apps are safe to remove on a Note 3 to debloat, it will pretty much be the same as the 10.1. Both the note 3 and the 10.1 are pretty much the same other then screen.

unlocking bootloader
I think we need to get the bootloader unlocked to get development on this thing rollin'
I'm willing to lend my device to a well-reputed senior-member/developer and pay shipping both ways if they think they can work some magic for the SM-P607T
Should I make a new post with regards to this?
Was able to root using this method no Knox either

bootloader is unlocked and there is no problems getting root and current Twrp can be installed which says the bootloader is unlock. if the bootloader was locked you wouldn't be able to flash Twrp. from the looks of it no one has a p607. it is all 605 or the wifi only one p600 and 601. stock rom with root and debloated works great. try a 605 rom. hopefully CM starts to pick up more then we are set.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Do P605 ROMs even work on a P607T? I've been wondering that myself. I have a 607T and although I am very impressed with the stock ROM it just is never going to measure up to CM for me.
I've been thinking about giving the P605 CM 11 port a try in a few weeks when it's just a bit more stable, but I have no idea how similar they are or if my device would even boot after flashing it!

Guys... Did you even read that thread in the link?
You should be asking these questions there... That whole thread is dedicated to making calls on the P607T.... And if you read the thread you'll know the author hit a brick wall and a boot loader hack is needed to flash the proper modem files for phone calls.

Haha. Thank you kcrudup for pointing to that thread, gave me some useful info on using P605 Roms on a P607T.
Any idea about what sort of problems may pop up from doing this? I got a reply in the CM thread that their P605 version of CM should work fine on my P607 but... Surely it can't be that simple? Any idea what differences there are between thecode of the two tablets or is it really that similar?

I'm 95% sure the only difference physically is the radio "front end" hardware is tuned for the T-Mo LTE frequencies so the modem baseband SW reflects that, and software-wise all that's new is a few pre-installed apps like the "My T-Mobile" app and that (loud-and-annoying-as-hell-and-quickly-removed) T-Mobile "jingle" on startup; I've put several P605 ROMs on my 607T and everything's worked OK ('cause the bootloader won't let me overwrite the radios and potentially-dangerous bootloader files anyway).

Awesome info thanks so much!! So if I understand correctly, any differnces that would render my tablet completely inoperable are already protected from flashing? So I don't need to meet with the TARs for the Roms to remove the modem files or anything?
I mean, I don't mind if my radio breaks or something, I can handle flashing back to stock I am just never sure when I start flashing a new Android device what risks there are of bricking it completely (which, with Knox in the picture, could totally screw me).
So with that I will probably be going flash crazy tonight and tomorrow to test our some different 605 Roms starting with Cyanogen. I'll try to post any findings or quarks here or in those threads!

You will have to remove all the "*.mbn" and "*.bin" files from (Samsung-supplied) non-P607T ROMs, though- Odin will abort the flash if it receives a bad status from the bootloader when the bootloader rejects the flash operation. But it should be a straightforward unzip/rm/zip operation to repack, and I'm sure the CM flashes are just "boot" and "system" (and possibly "recovery") partitions anyway.

Yes it is necessary, the .mbn files relate to the bootloader and the .bin files is the modem and NON_HLOS, being that they are for a different ROM it could cause major problems and maybe even bricking. @kcrudup even mentioned the bootloader conflicting with Odin if the device models don't match, so it seems you won't get the 605's installed without removing said files.

I have been looking for a guide for flashing twrp onto my sm-p607t but i cant find one. I mainly need the correct twrp img.tar file for odin. I found this one ( openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-lt03wifiue.img ) but I don't know if it is the right one. I used towelroot to root it and i used the proper supersu to disable knox so i just need the custom recovery now.

It's probably because he got sick of being asked the same question over and over again.
If I read the XDA forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433 searching for the word PIXEL. This app appears that people have this working on Pixel XL, but not since the November release

Thanks for your comment.
I was not asking why he was not replying to my questions - I've got total sympathy for that because the number of messages he might get must be insane.
My question still stands: Obviously Flashfire is not yet aware of the different layout of partitions on the Pixel phones. Does it still work correctly? If not, did Chainfire say anything about Flashfire being fixed to work with the pixels? I couldn't find anything, that's why I'm asking here.
I assume any announcement on it working on the Pixel will be made when it works on the Pixel. Much like superSU. (hope that doesnt sound like an ass thing to say) it's just the way things have been. unless someone else works on something and it looks like they are going to beat another dev to the punch, you don't usually see any info, much like boot-loader unlocks, rooting of a certain phone etc.. i.e when there is a bounty and team blahblah looks like they gonna take the glory, BANG! suddenly there's a solution that said dev was already working on secretly but wasn't planing on releasing any time soon but since there's competition, kinda thing. Know what I mean?
SuperSU is going to be a much higher priority for him to get going reliably with twrp and the new partition layout.

No they work fine, especially SuperSU. TWRP is in alpha but works for installing and most other things but backup and restore does not yet.

Because if you're verizon then add Verizon to your profile so people can appropriately address your questions.

You can sideload the update via ADB supposedly.
I've never used that method though.
I just flash the entire update on top of my old OS using flashboot and my guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/info-how-restored-to-stock-soft-t3494478
Make sure to remove the -w from the script if you don't want your old data/apps wiped.
Then re-root your phone afterwards.
Nothing to worry about there if it's not a Verizon phone.

Very helpful, thanks guys. I did it and it worked - ran flash-all with -w removed. I wonder though if there's any downside to doing this that may not have been identified yet, such as extra space being taken up or diminished performance (even if negligible) possibly due to some duplication of data or something like that.

No, no downside at all. Flash all without the -w is how most people do it. It could even be argued that it is better.

You can flash it as long as your BL is unlocked. It has nothing to do with root. You still need to use the flash-all batch file though, so a computer is still necessary.

my S9 gets laggy from time to time, but its otherwise very good performance-wise. I havent felt the need of persuing root with it because its a: impossible atm b: not worth it. The reason people rooted in the first place was to customize, tweak for performance enhancements and increase battery life. None of those things are that much of an issue anymore these days, so root is becoming unneeded by a great many, including myself. And i root EVERYTHING!!!

You'll end up breaking your phone's functionality, simply causing boot looping, unable to root your device and have to install a full base factory ota to fix the damage done. And you wouldn't even be able to backup anything either since the device will basically be semi-bricked

Thanks for this. Am not new to flashing updates with root. Was hoping for a more detailed explanation. Like the ota updates a certain partition which when rooted will cause a bootloop because a certain partition wont readable

Every partition except the boot partition will be ok for the most part but you'll still end up boot looping even if you installed magisk over again, so unless you do a fresh install which depending on how badly you messed something up or forgot to disable any modules, you will have to start from scratch to save your phone. But if you already made a backup whether it's before everything went south or in twrp to save your data then you should be okay
