If you wish to follow the instructions in this post, you agree that -
* Your warranty is void.
* I do not offer any guarantees that this will work or that it won't cause any
bad side effects.
* You alone are responsible for any damages or other issues that may arise
directly or indirectly because of this.
This has undergone basic testing on multiple devices running supported ROMs, but
again, there are no guarantees. Use it at your own risk.
In particular, OTA updates have not been tested on rooted devices.
Introduction
What Is This?
The FonePad 7 has a very secure stock ROM that is not vulnerable to any known exploit. But fortunately for us, Asus introduced their own vulnerability in it, which we can take advantage of. This is a guide that will help you root your FonePad 7 using that vulnerability.
How Does It Work?
Overplayed, Cool-Sounding Version
OTADelusion exploits multiple critical security vulnerabilities in the over-the-air update mechanism employed by the FonePad 7 -
The update delta packages are delivered to the device through an unencrypted medium.
The device can be configured to use any DNS server and it does not verify DNS query responses.
The package verification process relies on an asymmetric key-pair whose private key is compromised.
A man-in-the-middle attack is performed while downloading an OTA update by forcing the device to use a rogue DNS server which directs the device to connect to a rogue web server. This web server serves malicious update packages with forged cryptographic signatures. These update packages are designed to install a permanent backdoor in the device, allowing the user full access to it.
Down-To-Earth Version
Someone at Asus forgot the 'S' in 'HTTPS'
Someone at Asus forgot to replace the test Android signing key with their own
1 + 2 = Pwnage
What Do I Need To Use It?
A FonePad 7 running a supported version of the stock ROM (check the section below for a list of supported versions)
A working Wi-Fi connection (this will NOT work on 2G or 3G)
Supported ROM Versions
Go to Settings -> About tablet and check the "Build number" field
3.2.2 - NOT supported. Upgrade to 3.2.4
3.2.4 - Supported (WW and TW)
5.1.6 - NOT supported. I need volunteers to help me test.
5.2.2 - Supported (WW)
5.2.5 - NOT supported. May be added in the future. Check this thread for updates.

Installation Instructions
Follow these steps -
Read the disclaimer at the top of this post.
Make sure you're connected to a WiFi connection, NOT 2G/3G.
Go to Settings -> About tablet -> System Update and check for updates.
When you see the update prompt, select "NO"
Go to Settings -> Apps -> scroll to the "All" tab -> CMClient
Press the "Force Stop" button
Press the "Clear Data" button
Repeat the above steps with DMClient in the Apps list
Go to Settings -> WiFi -> long press on your network -> Modify Network and follow these steps -
Set IP Settings to "Static"
Note down the values of DNS 1 and DNS 2 somewhere.
Set DNS 1 to <snip>
Make DNS 2 blank
At this point, your Internet connection will stop functioning correctly. This is intended and temporary.
Repeat step 3. If it shows an error, reboot and repeat this step.
Make sure you get an update called "OTADelusion".
Download and install the update.
After reboot, go back to WiFi settings and restore the previous values of DNS 1 and DNS 2.
You now have root. Enjoy! But also be careful - there is currently no way to de-brick this device if you screw up.

Status
Running an update server costs actual money, so I won't be able to keep it running indefinitely. I expect to be able to keep it running through 2014 at least, but there are no guarantees. It can go offline at any time. The address mentioned may also change at times. This post will be updated if that happens. Server taken down because there is now an offline method.
Current Server Status: Offline

Thanks for the hard work man, hope you are able to solve the other versions as well. :good:

Hey, just a thinking. If Asus can update the "update" app, maybe you can too, and then send any updates (and modification) you want, no?
If it's possible, we have a big posibility in here i think

It's certainly possible, but a much cleaner solution would be to get a working recovery. The bootloader is locked, but it looks like it's not encrypted. There may be a way to make it accept a custom recovery.
But we need someone who's willing to take the risk of possible bricking and test the recovery on their device.

I think that it could be a good idea to open one of our devices, to see if there's some JTAG (or thing like that) to have a fully trustable backup option.

after rooting my ME372CG, can it download upgrading package automatically and upgrade to newer version firmware?
thanks.

It hasn't been tested yet. I would suggest you don't, at least until somebody else confirms that it works.
I do suspect that there is some code in the OTA package that triggers a ROM verification in the bootloader, but I'm not sure.
Either way, if somebody's willing to take the risk, let me know. I can make a modified update package that should reduce the risk of bricking.

Hi, Dr. Psycho
Thank you for your quick reply.
I am using 5.2.2 firmware, so need to waiting for next rooting opportunity..
BTW, after rooting, if can't download upgrading package automatically, is there any way to flash the package manually (if i can download it from somewhere)?

The only way is to do what I'm doing with this guide. You'll need to run a fake DNS server and a web server and fool the tablet into downloading your package. If you're on the latest version of the stock ROM, you'll need to either patch the DMClient app or install a self-signed CA certificate (not through Settings, you'll need to copy it to /system).
This thread has a lot of information for those interested, especially in the last ten or so pages: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514714
EDIT: Just realized you might talking about official updates. Those will be downloadable and installable, but we don't know if it'll work. It might brick your device.
What I wrote above was for custom mods.
This will all become much easier if we get a working recovery.

Yes, I mean official ROM upgrading after rooting. Sorry for the confusing.
I am waiting for Android 4.4, I don't know when Asus can release it for ME372CG. I don't want rooting affect ROM upgrading in the future.
Your answer is quite clear, thanks!

Hello all!!!
Dr. Psycho, I confirm your solution is working!!!!.... Thank you very much... I bought the device today, based on your solution to root the phone... Thank you again...
Theodore

Thanks! working great here

I noticed that some JP (as opposed to WW and TW) FonePad 7 users are trying to use my server to root. The JP version isn't supported yet (I didn't even know it existed). I can add it if someone with the JP version could help me get some values from their device. It'll only take a couple of minutes. Send me a private message if you're interested.
To check if you're using the JP version, go to Settings -> About tablet and check the "Build number" field. It should say "JP" somewhere in the middle.

Botto00 rooted the original Fonepad and made it Flash capable. There are several Flash browsers (Photon, Flashfox, Puffin), but because the Flash stream is redirected it's not a good viewing experience. I was wondering If you had any plans to incorporate Flash in your rooting method? I've already taken advantage of your root and maybe it's too late anyhow.

If I did come up with patches or ROMs, already having root would't be a problem at all. It shouldn't be too hard to make an app that instructs the bootloader to flash a package like DMClient does. Even if it turns out to be difficult, with root access, I can easily hijack the update-checking mechanism with a self-signed CA certificate and a web server, similar to how we're achieving root right now.
I did in fact have plans to make a recovery or at least an app that would act like a minimalistic recovery and let you flash recovery packages. The problem is, I'd need either a test device or a daring volunteer. And time too - I don't have much of that right now.

I quite understand time limitations working on stuff like this - I think everyone appreciates the time and effort you've spent on rooting Fonepad 7.
I followed the procedure in the link. Unfortunately, it doesn't work... maybe that fix is for machines that still support Flash.
Would I dare to volunteer? Hmm... now that I've got root I don't think I would risk it.

I don't blame you. I wouldn't suggest testing unless you really don't care if you brick the tablet.

thumbs up for 5.2.2 :highfive:

USB OTG
Hi, i know this is not the right tread to ask but since there is not forum about our tablet i'll ask here. I have a fonemap 7 ME372GC the 4 GB version (witch by the way doesn't appear on Asus page) and i'm not able to use usb OTG. Is this not possible on our tablets or does mine have something wrong? I have 5.22 rom version andoid 4.3. I use an OTG cable witch is working on my HTC One
Thank you for your help

Let's root it again
Hi Dr. Psycho,
I just got a Asus fonepad 7 model: k00E (ME372CG) and I will put some more data about this device:
- Firmware version: 54.2F
- Android version: 4.2.2
- Baseband version: 1338G_1.12.0_0913
- Kernel version : 3.4.34-00006-gc3b491f
[email protected] #1
Fri Sep 13 21:24:31 CST 2013
- Build number: JDQ39.WW_epad-V3.2.1-20120913
000053_201307241030
It seems as this is the older version of the build then 3.2.4 but it is well WW.
Should I upgrade to version 3.2.4 (and can you explain me how to do this but still to avoid ASUS upgrading to even newest version) or may I try to update this "OTADelusion" update directly with this "old" build number following the instructions ?
And is there any risk of bricking my device with rooting following this method as you stated that there is no way to de-brick Asus fonepad 7 yet ?
Or is there any other (older and safer) way to root this older build version except this "OTADelusion" ?
Thanks in advance !
Cheers !

[Custom Rom] Huawei Mate 8 - NXT-L29C432B582
- Custom System Update - ("V.6")
- EMUI 5.01 - Android 7 -
On TWRP backup basis.
This update replaces the [K-Rom-M8-V5].
Developed and tested on this device:
Huawei Mate 8 (NEXT)
Model number: Huawei NXT-L29
Build number: NXT-L29C432B582
- OTA updated.
- Without branding, with root and root access.
- TWRP recovery
Mods:
- Call Recorder
- KangVip Advanced settings
- Autostart administration in the phone manager (PM+)
- Viper 4 Android FX
- Obtaining OTA authorization
I couldn't test if this runs on Firmwares other regions.
I think the v6 is going on all regions on B582/592.
Quick guide for experienced users:
Please make a backup of your data with Huawei Backup and TWRP.
The Rom will be installed as if you wanted to restore a TWRP backup.
All your apps remain intact.
Conditions required:
- Firmware B582,
- TWRP recovery, (from download, or available from v5 )
- root is not necessary,
- OEM and FRP unlocked,
- USB Debugging on.
All required files are in the download folder.
You are familiar with the matter? Then let's go!
If available, uninstall these apps: SuperSu and Magisk.
A unroot is not necessary. Please do not download the downloads as "ZIP".
Installation:
1. Replace existing boot partition:
"2017-12-M8.B582.stock.kernel.boot"
copy in the TWRP backup directory to the ExtSd and restore.
2. Install update:
"2017-12-M8_B582_AdvS_Xposed_SystemUpdate"
also copy to the TWRP backup directory and restore."
3. Rooting:
- In TWRP mount Internal storage/ system,
- go to: Install, system/ k-rom/ set and install the SuperSU. zip.
- Reboot.
- After starting, take the BusyBox App from the download.
Then please use it to install its binaries.
- Install the PM+ app and bring the autostart administration to the phonemanager.
Iggnore the incompatibility warning.
Do not reboot between steps 1 to 3. Do not wipes before and after.
That's all. The installation is complete.
If Viper or Xposed have not been installed with it, this can be found in the
Advanced settings can be made up for.
Xposed is already active. In case the framework gets disabled,
in the Advanced settings. There's no way use other Xposed versions.
This also applies to SuperSU. They are not compatible with this system.
Both are optimized for this system.
Of course, you can also use Magisk to root later with the instructions
in the v5 thread. (loss of ota authorization)
Xposed does not run under magisk rooting together with the Advanced settings.
It must be used for a successful SafetyNet test, must be completely removed before rooting.
In the Kangvip Advanced settings do not use the Addblocker and "hide Activate NavBar".
Both works only on China Roms.
Hiding the NavBar can be done comfortably with the App "Tiles" from the playstore. (See v5)
In the K-Advanced Settings /tune cpu, some of the following are available.
Modifications of the computer performance possible. Those who need more power can do so.
Testing out the "Power save" options is useless. Did a lot of it.
The Huawei's own energy saving settings cannot be topped.
Good luck!
Thank you very much:
[KangVIP] (Advanced settings),

Hint:
Despite careful elaboration, I cannot guarantee that the execution of this manual will not cause any damage to the device or operating system and therefore I do not assume any liability for any damage or malfunction of the hardware and software! If you are still unsure, follow these steps: Follow the instructions only if you or your device is subject to any conditions (model number, Android version, etc.). Read the instructions carefully and completely, look up unknown terms. Check downloaded files for viruses. Make a backup of important settings and data. Do not follow the instructions if you do not know what you are doing.
These warnings must be logical. Please process my comments correctly.

apparently, there is a new chinese B593 out, although the full stock versions provided on firmware finder are not approved for installation, unfortunately... so they cant be flashed properly. still, nice to see development continuing

I'll continue, of course, because it's questionable whether we get oreo.
Has someone successfully installed my update on another region?
Please let us know.

Yeah, that's an aspect too. Making a new rom after every update is somehow unproductive. Just because of the google patch? I only made my update because of the stable xposed. I only make new ones in the future if something fundamentally changes.

Any news about oreo guys?[emoji848]

My rom is not encrypted. It also replaces only the boot and system partitions.
Since data remains unaffected, nothing changes. It remains as it was before installation.

What's your model and Windows build?

I've used Android apps on a 640 xl. Only with the leaked (and no longer supported) rom that has the Astoria packages. Why would you want to run android apps on an older unsupported OS version?

It has been said several times you can't install Astoria anymore on recent builds. The kernel needs to be customized in order to make possible install the packages again, it requires a lot of work

Call recording works last time I checked. Is the app not installed or not selectable (Voice Recorder)? The phone app uses the built in voice recorder to record phone calls. You might just need to enable the registry keys for it and select the app, did you try that for that feature?
As far as getting Astoria to work, just google it, that is how I found the FFU for the 640 XL...or buy an android phone if you must have android apps. It will go much smoother that.

Do you think most of the bugs will be cleared out by the end of the year? Also, which kdz should I use if I want band 71 support?

I don't know anything about the bugs, but for b71 2 of the roms have it; US OP Pie (no Q yet) and KR OP which is Korean Open (Q version available) has b71 also.
cheers

I was thinking it might be possible to grab the modem partition from sprint or unlocked pie and write them over before installing this ROM. Would that work, or would it be incompatible?

I'm not sure, have not tried that. I've read others suggesting the same thing but don't know if they've had success with it. I'd bet it wouldn't as there are so many threads, in various model phones, about which rom supports which bands. If that problem could be resolved by simply using the modem partition from a diff rom, it happening would almost certainly be common knowledge and many threads with various modem partitions available, but there aren't.

Ended up trying it and it prevents boot to system and recovery. I replaced all 4. modemst1,modemst2,modem_a,modem_b
I think we'll have to wait for them to make Q for v405qa unlocked.
I used v405ebw with lineage 18. VoLTE and VoWiFi aren't supported, which basically makes Mint Mobile unusable except for data.

I'd suggest another option, as 405qa Q arrival is ???, use the korean open 30e. That's what I have. One mod makes it quite workable; copy the US Open /OP partition (from Pie) and use it instead of the KR Open partition. Everything works, including vowifi and volte. And it does get b71. There's only 1 other small change needed to get vowifi to work.
It's very solid and haven't had any trouble with it at all. Something to consider.

I just found out that a great deal of work can be done with Cellular Support via the Qualcomm PDC tool.

Can you link the Korean open download? Also, what is the small change for VoWiFi?

Yes it's on this link. It's at the top of the list, the KR Open, 30e is the last one in the beginning section.
The other change is minor, have to enter the service menu with the dial code and it's one of the SVC (iirc) fields you have to enable vowifi. I can find it if you decide to do it.
There's a little 'trick' u need to do when cross flashing, to avoid the 'NT_Error' thing when u first boot up. It doesn't cause a problem, it's just annoying. Just after doing a partition DL of the rom, let it boot of course, to finish. Then shut it off, don't touch anything. Then use LG up and do a refurbish with same rom. No more nt-error code thing.
Also, even though the firmware page (above) doesn't indicate it, that rom does have b71. I have a screen shot of the phone using lte discovery connected to b71 on that rom. It's there.

I'm trying to boot TWRP. When I run
Code:
fastboot boot judypn_TWRP_bootable-metadata.img
it reads out this:
Code:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.942s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.946s
This is after flashing the Korean Open version. I'm not sure what to do. I made sure USB Debugging was on and changed the driver to the official LGE one, but no luck.

I tried everything on google. Still no luck.

Hi, so we've hijacked this thread long enough, let's move this over to this thread which is kor open specific.
Sorry about the hijack xenius.

Please help me. My LG v40ua is switched into los-18.0 and recovery is also los-18.0. Now I want to change back to the previous system, but I can't do it without root. Please tell me what to do, thank you
And my phone can't enter FastBoot mode

You should get fastboot working via 9008 guide (I suggest not to wipe lafs on both slots), then fastboot TWRP.

If you install this apk (only on los), it will allow you to switch to the other side and reboot recovery. It's hard coded (I changed the original file) to boot to recovery after you select the other slot. Did it for the exact situation you're experiencing.

Hello forum!
I have LG LM-V405QA and would like to have a ROM flashed that removes all Google everything. I have flashed ROMs in the past, but have already spent too much time researching with no results. I am in California, USA.
This is a serious inquiry. Please help.
Thank you.

Android 12 personal build

If somebody wanna to try my personal build of phh treble A12 with 01/05/22 security patch let me know and we figure out how to share. Keep in mind I don’t use Telegram .
Some info:
it's made with mind for regular use of device as phone not fancy or gaming machine.
Sms,calls,voip calls,navigation priority for me.Very slim rom!
I’m not put here some warning – you already understand all risk when using custom roms! Right? If not what are you doing here!
In short - phh aosp gsi and all credits to him and team.
Tested and adjusted for Nord10 5G BE86AA ATT provider, vendors 11.02 and 11.03, not rooted unlocked bootloaders.
Runs already w/o trouble over 2 mnts on 2 phones.
English only (no localization), diff keyboard layouts works,su, rw system, MicroG with sig spoofing, bromite webview,patched Captive portal (read here),
Cloudflare dns,dev option enabled, soft display option.
Removed useless overlays for phone, fixed voip call sound,ims, prefered network 5G enable, media sound over BT works.
Voip calls tested on Signal,Wire and WhatsUp with domestic and oversea calls.
My bank app working fine,gMaps works (but I’m using Magic Earth),fingerprint,otg-usb,Bluetooth in 2 cars,bluetooth to my pc.
I left pph treble app in case.
Many small changes, some hard coded some in build.props
I don’t use any google stuff or g Pay ,Amazon pay or any other pays so don’t know would it work or not. If you need it get something like pe and enjoy google+aftermarket s**t.
Only Foss apps
You need Calendar,Calculator,Messenger if you don’t like Signal (preinstalled) and good Music app.
I’m personally using Signal,Wire and Element, my wife Signal,Whatsup,security camera apps w/o trouble. Some apks not upstream versions.
I'm old school Linux guy - don't fix if it works is my philosophy. But on rw system you easily can rm and install what ever you like or update from Fdroid.

Interested

I'm sorry I am really confused about the right method coming from a samsung device where the procedure was quite different. Dont I need vbmeta.img or something? Inside the file the installation method is as below:
unlock bootloader,no root needed.
Tested on android 11.02/11.03 vendor, not sure about 10
RW version.
from terminal:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash system nord-S-RW.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Enjoy!
Some times take upto 5 min to boot,
if not try restart again
Which method do I use?

If you have BE2026/BE2029 then all is inside my zip....
Only copy system.img into GSI-FLASHER and start flash-device.bat
(with unlocked bootloader and phone booted in fastboot - volume down + up + power)
thats all
