How to manually upgrade to FROYO?

Unfortunately I am stuck with very slow GPRS (not even EDGE).
Many people have shared the update on zipped files.
I wanted to know, if I download the update in zip file and transfer it to my mobile, how can i manually install the update myself?
I have found the steps to update the froyo:
1. Download the Android 2.2 firmware for the Desire – here is the link to download
2. Rename the file update.zip and copy it to your microSD card via USB. [Note: make sure the file is named update.zip and not update.zip.zip.]
3. Power down your Desire
4. Hold down the “Volume Down” button as you power the phone back on.
5. A screen should appear showing your phone’s system searching for various files. Scroll down to “recovery” and press the “Power” button.
6. When you see the triangle with an exclamation point symbol, press the “Power” and “Volume Up” buttons at the same time.
7. From the menu that appears, select “Apply sdcard:update.zip.”
8. When the screen displays “Install from sdcard complete” select “reboot system now” and wait for the phone to power back up.

Come on someone must know tha answer?

need answer

Why are we NOT getting update? Do we need to De0Brand the phone? if so how? Plz plz someone help

Actually, my question is aimed at those, who have the debranded phones and who are getting the update, but are unable to download it because of in accessibility of wifi and slow data connection of operator.

Official link for update is
http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip
Now please tell me, how can i transfer it to my mobile and install it from there

I have the same prob. Already downloaded the zip and gonna try a methot found in another website.
Since I'm a new user and not allowed to insert links here it is:

I know this is really newbish but I guess it should work. Will post the results laterz.

You can also check the process for desire's cousin nexus one:

really? No one is willing to help?

I think you can download the ROM via PC and flash it then with your Recovery!
Should work, but not sure..

I am not sure what is problem
I have tried the above method my self. And every thing ended out great.
The only problem I faced was failure to upgrade due to low disk space. I deleted some apps and tried to install it again. It worked with out any further issue.
You can make sure that you DONOT touch the zip file. DONOT even open or extract it, just download it and transfer to SD Card.

YESS ....
This might be the issue. My desire is not operator locked. May be you guys have branded phones, thats why this ROM is Not for you.

Have you tried this method?
To manually update the phone
1. Download the official firmware update.
2. Copy the file to your microSD card and name it update.zip (newb warning: not update.zip.zip)
3. Power off your phone.
4. Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button and power it back on.
5. The phone will now search for files like PB00IMG.zip, etc. This is normal. Scroll down to recovery and press the POWER button.
6. When you see the /!\ symbol, press the POWER button and the Volume Up button at the same time. You should be presented with a menu and one of the options should be "Apply sdcard:update.zip".
7. Use the trackball to navigate to "apply sdcard:update.zip" and select it.
8. When you see "Install from sdcard complete", select "reboot system now".

I got the same error message. Could it be that my Build Number is 1.19.707.7?
I believe the Zip file, before being renamed to update.zip, contains a different Build.
It is 1.21...
I am using a Desire in Singapore. Any idea why the OTA is only available in European countries?

nFAQ
n00b frequently asked questions
1. wifi not working??
a. so this is the frequently asked question....you will mostly get an error "obtaining ip address" this is a glitch in the ROM so to fix this you have to go to the network settings/wifi settings then in the wifi settings press the down volume button a menu will come up tap on advanced then enable the check on static ip and then fill out all the fields down below thats it now go back by pressing the end call button and then turn off the wifi and turn it on back again thats it your wifi works
2. market error ....apps do not install ?
a. that is surely a CHMOD error now what you have to do is start Ubuntu open a terminal ..in the first field type "cd /media" and hit enter
then "ls" and hit enter (it is a small L and not an I)
then type "cd your ext2 partition name" and hit enter then
type "chmod -R 0777 ./*"
and after this type "sudo sync"
and then unmount the drives by going into "Computer" and press the eject button on the left side panel
lets get started
first you have to have XXJL2 or XXJK1
in windows open multiloader 5.62 click full download
and then choose the bootfiles and the fota file (link given)
enter the download mode on your phone by turning off the phone completely and then pressing the volume down button+hold button+the power button after entering the download mode connect the phone through the usb cable and then clicking port search on the multiloader and then clicking download
after the process is done the the wave will reboot into bada successfully if it does not boot in bada successfully it means you have done something.....so do it correctly
then collect all your android data in a folder and put it somewhere ............ so it can be accessible by ubuntu
then take your phone format your memory card in bada
login as a ubuntu root user
pm me if you want to know how to login as root user
then open gparted partition utility in ubuntu browse to your memory card in gparted delete the fat partition on the memory card and assuming you have a 2gb card make 2 partitions first should be a fat16 partition of 1100 mb and the second partition should be ext3 of 900 mb .
remember to give a name to ext3 partition ...the only reason is that it solves alot of problems
then open badadroid.tgz file in archive manager and then in the file open filesystem.tgz and then open the contents on filesystem folder in the archive manager and then select all the folders and extract all of the contents to the ext3 partition through the archive manager not manually!!!
then after it is done copy the keypad file and paste it into ext3/sytem/usr/keyalyout/
overwrite the existing file
(optional steps:- if you want other customization files download the zip from this;-)
after this
go to your wave internel memory make a new folder "galaxyboot"
and then copy the sbl.bin and the zImage to the folder
after you have done all this
open a terminal first type
"cd(space)/media" then
"ls" it is small L not and I then
"cd(space)your ext3 partition name"
then "chmod -R 0777 ./* "
then after the mod type "sudo sync"
after all this unmount the partitions
dont unplug the cable
just turn it off with the cable connected
after the phone is switched off
after all this process you might notice that the phone is heated up to fix this take out the battery and let the phone cool for 5 mins and then insert the battery close the cover
and press the end call key and after a minisecond press the call key
after you see a messed up screen with green line
let go off the buttons
the first boot might take around 20 mins for slower cards like class 2 or some class 4 cards and 10 mins for faster cards!
and voila ANDROID ON YOUR PHONE
tips and fixes for glitches
1. buggy lockscreen?
a. go to security settings aplly the pattern lock and you will get fast lockscreen
2. Wavealaxy in idle shuts down
a. download "load monitor from app market open preferences go to preferences
Click "Add Notification", "Only Notify high load", "Auto Start"
and "Wake Lock"
and then click the home button voila it does not shutdown
guys how do you like the new phone name
Samsung Wavealaxy S8900

nice tutorial

help ubuntu cannot recognise my wave. it says my device is busy

is there something new to the files or is it just the one from 22-6?

@abd28xd
Don't go with FAT16. FAT32 is the way to go. Also EXT 3 works better and faster for me than EXT 2. otherwise nice tutorial. fix hese points so I can point a herd of Noobs to graze over here!!
abd btw, where is the link for TouchWiz 4.0 launcher?

what's the status of camera driver for photo/video?

welll i am uploading all the customization files on mediafire they will be ready in 5 minutes !
and here is the way you install it
boot bada
start ubuntu
then copy touchwiz 4 apk file to system/app/
overwrite the existing file! =)
and no updtates on camera files i think they will be a top priority after the fix of modem and sensors!!

Hey abd28xd,
thx for your answer and work.
i got this firmware http://www.badapps.ru/376-bada-12.html mainly because it got flac support.
It's a mix of S8500XXJH3 (S8500OXEJH2) (SEB) and S8500XXJK1 (CSC from JL2) maybe someone tried it before and know if this combo works..it's not worth to brick my phone at this stage...

HOW-TO: HTC T328W/Wind Dual-Sim from China - Complete guide to install Google Apps

HOW-TO: HTC T328W from China (Bootloader unlock, rooting, installing Google apps and removing bloatware.
02/July/2012
This guide has been tested on two HTC T328W dual-sim phones bought from China. It has also been tested with the following Build numbers and baseband versions and both worked perfectly.
Dear mods: I know this is not the correct thread for this phone. Please create a new subforum for this great phone and move all T328W threads into it. They are all over the place (from One V to Desire, etc.). Thanks.
!!I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE!!
Phone 1:
Kernel: 3.0.16
Baseband: 1.04.34D.11_20.11.30.11U
Build number: 1.35.1402.1
Browser: 534.30
Phone 2:
Kernel: 3.0.16
Baseband: 1.06.34D
Build number: 1.56.1402.6
Browser: 534.30
The zip file containing all needed files can be found at mediafire . c o m / ?783kthx72x3uf5d .
I could not attach the zip file (I get a page not found) and am not allowed to post outside links yet.
Bootloader unlocking
1. Let’s change the language to English first so we understand the phone better. Open the apps menu and go to the Settings icon (the cogwheel icon). Scroll down to the setting with the “A” icon. Click the first item in the list and choose English.
2. Go to htcdev . c o m, create an account and click the Unlock bootloader icon. After logging in, choose “All Other Supported Models” from the list and click the Begin Unlock Boatloader button. Accept that you may lose any guarantee and continue to follow the instructions.
3. To enter bootloader mode, make sure the phone is off (or remove the battery for a few seconds). Then hold Volume Down and start pressing the Power button – without any USB cable. Use the up and down buttons to select “Fastboot” and select it using the Power button. Now connect your USB cable and continue following the HTC instructions.
4. All the files you need are in the zip you can get above. I also installed the HTC Sync program which installs the drivers. Using the command prompt you can simply navigate to the extracted files and run the fastboot command. (Use the command “cd C:/myextractedzip” to change to a directory).
5. Save the Unlock_Code.bin attachment which you get from HTC by Email into the same extracted zip folder and run the next command. You now have an unlocked bootloader and the phone will start up and an HTC wizard will appear where you can choose the English language again.
Flashing clockworkmod
1. Remove any USB cables and boot again into the bootloader mode. Click Fastboot and reconnect your USB cable. Now run the following command on your computer: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img . This flashes the clockworkmod recovery image onto the phone.
2. Switch off your phone. Make sure your USB cable is removed.
3. Now copy the “app” folder from the zip onto a micro-sd card. Also copy the “CWM-SuperSU-v0.92.zip” and “rootexplorer_2.16.apk” onto the micro-sd card.
4. Insert the micro-sd card into the phone and boot into boatloader mode again.
5. Now choose the recovery option instead of fastboot and wait for clockworkmod recovery to appear.
Rooting the phone
1. In clockworkmod recovery, choose install zip from sdcard
2. Choose “choose zip from sdcard” and choose “CWM-SuperSU…zip”
3. Scroll down to “Yes – Install CWM-SuperSu” and wait. Now go back and reboot the phone normally.
Installing Google Apps
1. Using the included file manager on the phone, click on “rootexplorer.apk” and install it. When launching root explorer, make sure you grant it superuser permissions.
2. Go click the “sdcard” folder and press and hold the “app” folder that you copied from the zip file. Click “copy” and then navigate to /system . Press “Mount R/W”. And then click “Paste”. Choose Yes to overwrite. Exit root explorer.
3. Now we need to fix the permissions. The easiest way is if you enable USB Debugging mode from the “Developer Options” settings. Make sure you connect your USB cable.
4. Open a command prompt to our extracted zip folder and type “adb shell”. Press enter and you should see “[email protected]:/ $”. Run “su”. Run “cd /system/app”.
5. Now to fix all permissions, run “chmod 644 *.apk” and then run “chown root.root *.apk” .
6. Now run “reboot” to reboot your phone.
Removing bloatware apps
1. Thanks to dark_hawk from xda-developers, we have a list of system apps/bloatware that are save to remove. You can easily do this from the root explorer app. Go to /system/app and hold each item you want to delete. Then click delete. You can also remove each app’s odex file.
The list:
116114.apk
2254_HTCCU_WO3G_SIE.apk
DoubanFM.apk
DreyeCHSPkg40.apk
HTCCN_FileManager.apk
HTC_Widget_Renren.apk
HTC_Widget_Sina_Weibo.apk
HTC_Widget_Sina_Weibo_Nearby.apk
HTC_Widget_Sina_Weibo_Trend.apk
HTC_Widget_Sina_Weibo_Trend.apk
HtcMusicEnhancer_China_Sina.apk
HtcMusic_China_Sina.apk
PhoneMail.apk
QQ2011.apk
Renren_FSplugin.apk
Renren_GLRplugin.apk
SinaMusic.apk
Sina_Weibo_FSPlugin.apk
Sina_Weibo_GLRplugin.apk
SohuNews.apk
VDisk.apk
Weibo.apk
eMoney.apk
mapbar.apk
renren.apk
unicomclient_HTCT328W.apk
vegetable.apk
wefound.apk
2. Then run “reboot” to reboot your phone.
3. After the reboot you might still find some Chinese language apps. These can be removed with an app from the Play Store such as Root Uninstaller.

If you have any problems, please post below and I will answer and/or update this post.

followed your guide and managed to install the google apps, including Play Market.
Big thanks!
By the way, did you try to install a newer version of android/ ROM?

Hi
Thanks for the instructions. I have installed the update successfully.
Although installing the market initially failed. Before that the phone booted.
After applying the google aps bit the phone didn't startup again it hang at the 'HTC quitly brilliant' screen.
Although after first reinstalling the RUU and after that doing this procedure again it worked. I'm new to Android I can follow instructions although I'm clouless of what I'am actually doing.
I have a few problems though:
1.
After installing however I have a problem that google play now sais that I can't install runkeeper because my phone isn't compatible.
I was able to install this program before on this phone. Anyone a clue on that?
2.
Also I have a problem that if I wan't to apply a system update of android from the about screen it will error with "assert failed: getprop("ro:cid") == "00000000"
Anyone a sollution for that specific for this phone?
3.
Also I have a problem with this phone that my 3G internet is working strangly. I hoped to solve this with installing a newer version.
Some applications are always working like play store, facebook, friendcaster. Youtube app works ok when browsing videos, although can't play.
Whatsapp only seems to work a few minutes after the 3G connection is set up. And internet browsing doesn't work at all. I tried opera and firefox.
With WIFI all is good and then it is a wonderfull phone.
I get good download speeds when I install a program from google play.
Although I would love to have a stable whatsapp and browsing capabilities while i'm away from wifi. Anyone familliar with this problem?
I was hoping to adress the internet issue by updating ICS, although like stated this also fails.
Many thanks ina advance for your help!

Hi
following your instruction I just updated 3 pcs of HTC Build number: 1.56.1402.6. All done, all OK. One think that voice search is not working on phone dialpad, I have to remove it and install voice search from the market - now in apps like maps, phone search working fine. Till now I didn't find any else problem
Thanks very much. BR Kris

2. Then run “reboot” to reboot your phone.
3. After the reboot you might still find some Chinese language apps. These can be removed with an app from the Play Store such as Root Uninstaller.

Hello guy,
I received this morning this phone from Etotalk.
I bought also from them their preinstalled services including multilangiage OS and unlocking and rooting services (I know how to root but 'cause price was so low....).
However I received the phone...but...:
1. Only English & China language installed
2. Wlan & btooth doesn't work
When I switch on the WLAN appears error message. And remains 'Turning WLAN on'. Also Btooth doesn't switch on
So I am asking myself if this is related to the root process or somewhat else or is an hardware problem ??
I want to flash again a new rom but I don't know where to retrive an ICS rom with italian language....
I opened also a dispute in Paypal.......
Is it possible that all is related to a software problem and not an hardware problem ?
Please let me know, if you can....
Regards

But in first step, try to reset the complete phone in SETTINGS-Storage scroll down to end here!

HOW-TO: HTC T328W from China (Bootloader unlock, rooting, installing Google apps and removing bloatware.
02/July/2012
This guide has been tested on two HTC T328W dual-sim phones bought from China. It has also been tested with the following Build numbers and baseband versions and both worked perfectly.
Dear mods: I know this is not the correct thread for this phone. Please create a new subforum for this great phone and move all T328W threads into it. They are all over the place (from One V to Desire, etc.). Thanks.
!!I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE!!
Phone 1:
Kernel: 3.0.16
Baseband: 1.04.34D.11_20.11.30.11U
Build number: 1.35.1402.1
Browser: 534.30
Phone 2:
Kernel: 3.0.16
Baseband: 1.06.34D
Build number: 1.56.1402.6
Browser: 534.30
The zip file containing all needed files can be found at mediafire . c o m / ?783kthx72x3uf5d .
I could not attach the zip file (I get a page not found) and am not allowed to post outside links yet.
Bootloader unlocking
1. Let’s change the language to English first so we understand the phone better. Open the apps menu and go to the Settings icon (the cogwheel icon). Scroll down to the setting with the “A” icon. Click the first item in the list and choose English.
2. Go to htcdev . c o m, create an account and click the Unlock bootloader icon. After logging in, choose “All Other Supported Models” from the list and click the Begin Unlock Boatloader button. Accept that you may lose any guarantee and continue to follow the instructions.
3. To enter bootloader mode, make sure the phone is off (or remove the battery for a few seconds). Then hold Volume Down and start pressing the Power button – without any USB cable. Use the up and down buttons to select “Fastboot” and select it using the Power button. Now connect your USB cable and continue following the HTC instructions.
4. All the files you need are in the zip you can get above. I also installed the HTC Sync program which installs the drivers. Using the command prompt you can simply navigate to the extracted files and run the fastboot command. (Use the command “cd C:/myextractedzip” to change to a directory).
5. Save the Unlock_Code.bin attachment which you get from HTC by Email into the same extracted zip folder and run the next command. You now have an unlocked bootloader and the phone will start up and an HTC wizard will appear where you can choose the English language again.
Flashing clockworkmod
1. Remove any USB cables and boot again into the bootloader mode. Click Fastboot and reconnect your USB cable. Now run the following command on your computer: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img . This flashes the clockworkmod recovery image onto the phone.
2. Switch off your phone. Make sure your USB cable is removed.
3. Now copy the “app” folder from the zip onto a micro-sd card. Also copy the “CWM-SuperSU-v0.92.zip” and “rootexplorer_2.16.apk” onto the micro-sd card.
4. Insert the micro-sd card into the phone and boot into boatloader mode again.
5. Now choose the recovery option instead of fastboot and wait for clockworkmod recovery to appear.
Rooting the phone
1. In clockworkmod recovery, choose install zip from sdcard
2. Choose “choose zip from sdcard” and choose “CWM-SuperSU…zip”
3. Scroll down to “Yes – Install CWM-SuperSu” and wait. Now go back and reboot the phone normally.
Installing Google Apps
1. Using the included file manager on the phone, click on “rootexplorer.apk” and install it. When launching root explorer, make sure you grant it superuser permissions.
2. Go click the “sdcard” folder and press and hold the “app” folder that you copied from the zip file. Click “copy” and then navigate to /system . Press “Mount R/W”. And then click “Paste”. Choose Yes to overwrite. Exit root explorer.
3. Now we need to fix the permissions. The easiest way is if you enable USB Debugging mode from the “Developer Options” settings. Make sure you connect your USB cable.
4. Open a command prompt to our extracted zip folder and type “adb shell”. Press enter and you should see “[email protected]:/ $”. Run “su”. Run “cd /system/app”.
5. Now to fix all permissions, run “chmod 644 *.apk” and then run “chown root.root *.apk” .
6. Now run “reboot” to reboot your phone.
Removing bloatware apps
1. Thanks to dark_hawk from xda-developers, we have a list of system apps/bloatware that are save to remove. You can easily do this from the root explorer app. Go to /system/app and hold each item you want to delete. Then click delete. You can also remove each app’s odex file.
The list:
116114.apk
2254_HTCCU_WO3G_SIE.apk

Hi
because there is new update from HTC available, 1.71.1402.1 I have question, how can I install this patch? because now I can't install on the cracked one.
PS.
on the second device (updated to 1.71.1402.1 before this crack) instruction working aswell

HTC Wind
So I purchased this phone from eBay, it came "unlocked" and I am able to use it in Canada easily. No problems with Google Apps, english, etc.
I don't know if this is a rooted unlock or a hardware carrier unlock.
So, with HTC now telling me there are system updates available, I don't know whether installing them will lock the phone up if it's been rooted. I've written the seller a few times and despite very many positive reviews, I have no answer to this question. So I'm posting here.
I have:
Android 4.0.3
HTC Sense v. 4
Software 1.60.707.5
HTC SDK API level 4.2
HTCEtension_403_1_GA_8
kernel
3.0 16-g320e2d4-dirty
[email protected] #1
PREEMPT
baseband
1.05.34D.29_20.21.30.23U
build number
1.60.707.5 CL69250 release-keys
browser version
WebKit/534.30
Any help here would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

As your baseband matches the build number it would suggest that you have an original Asia version. You should be able to use the OTA update without problems. If when you run the update it says something about "HTC has detected that the software is not original" then you probably have a Chinese model that has Asia firmware on it.

Unable to stay login to HTCDev
I recently got a Desire V and wants to root it.
Not sure if any of you faces this problem..I have registered at HTCDev and followed the instruction to click on the email link to complete registration. However each time when I successfully log in, I am being thrown out and I need to re-login. Sometimes I am able to succesfully log in to the bootloader section and then am able to select the model and go through the legal notification. But after that Im always thrown out.
Is anyone facing this? I have registered for another id and its the same thing.
Need a HUGE favor...is it possible for someone who has registered successfully and unlocked their bootloader to lend me their userid?? Desperately trying to root this phone. Thanks.

Hello, it seems that the link for the files does not work anymore. Would somebody able to share these files ?
Best regards

Hi,
I tried to update using the A2.rar file. This file seems to be password protected. 55933 seems to work here.
--
With the system image, at first I wondered how to flash this. After unpacking the file and following the instructions given in the above mentioned guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=3673945) it worked fine.
Using qfil I selected flat build, found the *firehose* file in the extracted directory and also the xml files (rawprogramm and patch) you have to select. Starting qfil phone was recognized as Hisense... at COM12 during the process it changed to Qualcomm... at COM13. I did not use adb commands (this did not work for me). For me qfil put the phone automatically in download mode.
Up to now all works fine. Menus are in english, some might be in chinese. Gapps, gmail and my old apps installed ok.
Thanks again to joygram

Password for archive is wrong?

@baistan the a2 file for the general system upgrade to 6.09.03 is hosted at a baidu site. You need the pw given by joygram to enter his baidu account. Then you have to install a baidu download client, because the file is 1.48 GB. The file itsself is a .rar archive, which is password protected. I googled the file and found a chinese hisense fans forum. Here a file with the same name was posted. pw was given with 55933
So you need two passwords.
The new rom is only chinese / english and has no gapps.
Joygrams system.img installed fine. GoogleApps workt about two days for me, now it crashed and does not start any more, maybe because of a playstore update. This seems to be common. Maybe this issue can be solved.
Here a google drive linke to the file (makes it easier) https://drive.google.com/open?id=11anmiy8FEQNbVzu9kbS72WKFr-zmHope

Have not got playstore to run again,
flashed the A2 rom again
and use f-droid; uptodown and/or yalp store to install apps.

Thank you
Do you think it is possible to install " 7.0 or CYANOGEN MULTILINGUE " with the support of the " E-INK " screen?

That I cann not tell you. I am no developer, sadly.
I do not know if anyone got TWRP running on this phone. I know, that it is possible to customize TWRP, there are examples on youtube, but I do not know if I am able to do it.
For me it would be interesting to flash gapps. I don´t know if you can do this using qpst.
I hope there is some development for this phone in the future.

the ROM "JOYGRAM" is in English and Chinese!
By against the Playstore works very well you do not turn off your phone!
from the moment you turned off your phone the factory "Google Play Services" !!
Ducout you must be very careful never to crash and do not repel if the application that works with "Google Play Services" (youtube, play store, gmail, etc ...) no longer works!
we are unable to delete the account [email protected] and "conscious"
I think he should root the phone and add Google Play Service and Play Store!
but I do not know how to sit for root on HISENSE!
I would like to find a charitable soul who could help me carry a Rom Stock 6.0 from Google and add on Driver and E-Ink!
or take the ROM of the HISENSE A2PRO 7.0 Nougat and change it for the Hisense A2 because unless I'm wrong there is not much difference between the 2 phones!
PS: "JOYGRAM" recommend this for translation: you may want to set the language in Japan, French etc ...
this language in the Vision-Setting.apk
I tried to edit this file.
but the system does not start, so I stopped.
but some can stay.
1. Copy Vision-Setting.apk to pc
Use decompile with apktool
3. add a new language in the res and translate the language
4. repack the copy in system.img
I wrote system.img with the Linux system mount in the virtual machine.
I can not do perfact system.img because there is no last system.img.

@baistan the a2 file for the general system upgrade to 6.09.03 is hosted at a baidu site. You need the pw given by joygram to enter his baidu account. Then you have to install a baidu download client, because the file is 1.48 GB. The file itsself is a .rar archive, which is password protected. I googled the file and found a chinese hisense fans forum. Here a file with the same name was posted. pw was given with 55933
So you need two passwords.
The new rom is only chinese / english and has no gapps.
Joygrams system.img installed fine. GoogleApps workt about two days for me, now it crashed and does not start any more, maybe because of a playstore update. This seems to be common. Maybe this issue can be solved.
Here a google drive linke to the file (makes it easier) https://drive.google.com/open?id=11anmiy8FEQNbVzu9kbS72WKFr-zmHope

Good evening "OF_Ge_72"
think you can put on google the other version available on fans.hisense because being in France it is impossible for me to download the possible version available on fans.hisense !
because to answer and to Download on Fans.hisense it is necessary to register with a number of Chinese telephone and it is the same for Baidu !
A huge thank you for all

Hello
did you try with a VPN and download / install Google Play Services and Google playstore?
by the way I take advantage of your passage to ask you if you have access to the forum: fans.hisense.com? (because I'm looking to download the version: http://fans.hisense.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=123020&highlight=A2+L1261)
Thank you

Thanks, but unfortunately the baidu link is down (as far as I understand it). Would it be possible to upload it elsewhere in order to keep your guide alive?

Stock firmware J730GMUBU3ARB1 SM-J730GM/DS 08.03.2018

I would like to share with you the latest original 4 files firmware J730GMUBU3ARB1 security pach 1 february 2018.
1. download the firmware J730GMUBU3ARB1 - Galaxy J7 Pro SM-J730GM PEO Peru from https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-j7-pro/SM-J730GM/PEO/download/J730GMUBU3ARB1/209612/
2.enter the phone in download mode and with odin place the AP, BL, CP and CSC
3. make the original setup in order to enter on developer options ( by pressing 7 times Build Number in Settings/About phone/Build Number) to activate OEM unlock and USB debugging
4. open ODIN Odin3_v3.12.10 and on the AP place twrp_3.1.1-1_j730gm_25817 from our friend ashyx[ https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt/twrp-3-1-1-1-j7-pro-sm-j730f-g-gm-t3662621
Flash with odin in the AP slot.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS WILL RESULT IN TWRP BEING REPLACED BY STOCK RECOVERY
5. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage) ...FORMAT DATA... type YES , in order to delete the encryption on your internal memory
WIPE CACHE AND DALVICK
The next step is not necessary as i noticed that patching the boot image no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx will cause a long delay in screen unlock , and if you don't flash this it will not affect the encryption of your phone as long as you did the formatting .
So i will not recommend to do this step 6
----6.install Boot image patch from ashyx no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt/twrp-3-1-1-1-j7-pro-sm-j730f-g-gm-t3662621
WIPE CACHE AND DALVICK ----
Try skipping step 6 and go straight to step 7
7.install Magisk v16 the latest one
WIPE CACHE AND DALVICK
8.install SM-J730GM- 07.03.2018 the script to remove most of the bloatware
the script was modified by me on this firmware to make a very fast and no bug phone. If you want to keep some of the apk which i deleted with this script you can modify the script only with note++ (npp.7.5.4.Installer) by deleting the entire row of the apk
WIPE CACHE AND DALVICK
9.mount system and internal storage
10. you can copy the file others.xml from your sd card to system/csc
this others.xml was modified from the original one from this firmware to have more options like
air message,
ultra data saving ,
recording call button
EnableSmsCallbackNumber
DisableSmsToMmsConversion
EnablePromptToExit for samsung internet beta
and few more which you can see it opening this file with notepad
12. reboot the phone and make the setup
ENJOY
P.S. was made for my phone in order to have a very light and bugles firmware for my daily use , you can try and use it on your own risk .
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE, USE IT ON YOUR OWN RISK ...
THANK YOU ashyx
PS. I WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTIONS FOR SOME TIME BECAUSE SUNDAY I AM GOING TO WORK ON THE RIVER CRUISE AND THE INTERNET IS NOT MY BEST FRIEND THERE.
HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY MY STOCK ROM AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST...

as long as you open the update script with note++ and check if the apk in your firmware are the same there will be working
to check the apk in system/app and system/priv-app you need to install root browser apk

So can I flash the the firmware on J730G?

The script and other.xml is working on all the samsung phones with nougat as long as they have the same app in system .
I use the script for tab SM-T585... SM-J730GM .... SM-J710FN ...
Just try and you can modify as you wish deleting the entire row of the application which you want to keep .

As far as i know it is better to try to download from sammobile the firmware for your phone ... the diference between G and GM is the dual sim .
And don't forget to change in the others.xml the code for your firmware ... as this is modifyed for CHO region

Seems the no verity patch is what causes lockscreen lag?, I've tried both magick and supersu methods both methods still cause problems. when/if the finger print scanner can read mine, it unlocks instantly,
but by pin or other methods can take up to 10 seconds to unlock. any way to fix this?
I have the SM-J730GM/DS j7y17lte

Try without no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx and you will see the difference
I edited also the steps on my thread . Thank you and hope you will see the difference without that patch

to balanadi
If I use the j730gmdxu3ara3 ROM to do it again.
