Hey guys,
I currently have a OP5 and I always root my devices to get flawless Adblocking, theming, and google feed on OP launcher. Are these already possible on the OP7T or do we have to wait for an official TWRP? if It's possible is it safe to do?
Yeah, it is safe to do. I just got mine yesterday and fully rooted it. The best and safest tutorial is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81277507&postcount=613
If you just use any patched boot.img you'll find, it could be the wrong version (there is Europe, Global and Indian) or maybe a wrong OOS version. The safest way is to extract the boot.img yourself and let Magisk Manager patch it. These steps are very easy and took me not even 10 minutes. Also you can keep root if you're doing an OTA update. Just be sure to not reboot once it prompts you and to tell the Magisk Manager to install Magisk on the inactive slot.
Blokada does great adblocking without the need of root, as for theming and what not, I suppose you would wanna root, which isnt too hard to do

I shifted from OP5T to OP7T 4 months back, the rooting seems little different here coz of no TWRP. But there are no issues. Everything works flawless and easy like OP5.
Dont buy it you will regret your decision if you are custom rom lover
For Adblocking you do not need root. Using private DNS is enought

To add more information to my previous post,
Adways works, adblock through xposed also works, google feed through magisk works, through xposed also works. Substratum theming also works flawless.
Few Screenshots are attached.
Guys, on a side note on rooting. Are you all able to use your banking sites? I'm told they don't work well on a rooted phone
Thanks

Thank you Aswin and thank you all.
So to sum it up, everything I can do with my OP5, already works perfectly as long as I am good with tinkering my device and follow good tutorials. Except for installing ROMs which still requires TWRP to be fully compatible.
I guess I'll get it as soon as the prices go down in my country.

You can install ROMS now too, but not simple to switch between ROMs often. Since data including internal is completely erased everytime u switch ROM

That is not device specific. So far no issues with banking apps.
But according Root developer, Google is implementing new changes where it maybe possible for issues with few banking apps, some can be still spoofed to work properly. But that is not device specific.

I too have a 7T using it in the states on Verizon. I know its been asked a million times. What would I gain from being rooted?

If you don't know, then rooting probably isn't for you. Now a days, root is becoming less and less required for certain tasks and used to be required in the days of old. When you start finding things that you're wanting to fix on the device (For me it was a proper AOD) then root might start to come up for you. But you're right, if you don't have a good reason for root, I wouldn't. I would at least leave the door open should you need/want it later.

"Back in the day" (PDA phones), I use to flash everything that came along. Same with my first few android phones, but now, I don't even bother. Stock roms are "good enough", and my phone is just a work tool. End of the day, I'm too tired to bother using it unless someone actually calls me LOL.
I'm not a total novice to rooting. When I had my Samsung Note 4, probably the last Samsung able to root easily, I was rooted. After the Note 4 I got the Note 5, then Pixel 2xl. I never felt the need with the 2xl, so I guess with the 7T I may stay stock. It's quite a phone. I do miss the pictures from the Pixel but besides that nothing else. I'm entertaining looking at the 8 pro.

also on Verizon, received my 7T, from OnePlus, on Friday, activated/unlocked/rooted on Saturday.
You gain Titanium, AdAway, AFWall+, All-in-one Toolbox, and Root Browser to access system files.

Whoa, pretty fast.
Now that you have root, what are "things" that your doing to make the phone "better. I'm purely into performance. What will it do for me?

I'm satisfied with Oxygen OS and not really interested in ROMs for now. My concern is with pre-installed apps, ad blocking, apps “phoning home”, and what's running in the background.
Titanium to freeze 7 Google apps & two others that came with the phone and can't be uninstalled, as well as 3 apps that I very rarely use but don't want to download/reinstall/set up when I do need them. In addition to sending scheduled backups to One Drive
AdAway needs root to replace the hosts file and blocks apps & browsers from reaching pretty much every ad server
App Ops to prevent apps from running at startup
Servicely to disable unnecessary background services
AFWall as a firewall to prevent apps from accessing the internet
Root Browser simply because I dislike having anything on my phone that I can't access
Since you're “purely into performance” you'll need to root in order to install tweakable custom kernels when they become available

Hi, I have a SHARP SH-06E and I successfully turned on its DIAG mode.
Now I have some devices not recognized, the HW IDs are below:
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&REV_0228&MI_02

USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&REV_0228&MI_03

I cannot find its driver anywhere...
Can I mod the HTC/Moto one and force it installed? I want to use QPST to explore its internals.

Temp root, and then run this it will allow DIAG.
Then setprop, see init.qcom.rc for details.
IIUC, diag mode drivers should be same for all Snapdragon (600 here) devices. Anyway it's pretty easy to edit driver ID and force installation.
Please keep us in touch, enabling QPST access will be great.
Also maybe you know is there any way to enter recovery without ADB?

Welcome!
No, I'm afraid not. Sharp's (and all of Japanese manufacturers') smartphones use highly customized versions of Android. Your only chance to upgrade to a higher version is when Sharp/Docomo release it. Still, you will need to have installed all minor (software) updates before that. What this means: Once a new version of Android is released, send your phone to someone in Japan (e.g. the seller you bought it from) to update to latest build version, then upgrade Android, then return to you. Everything else - you risk bricking the phone.
What you can do now that you have root... Install Titanium Backup Pro to make backups of /system apps, then uninstall them (but make sure you read on Japanese sites what can and what can't be disabled unless you want to brick your phone).
Another thing you can do is install Link2SD to integrate updates of built-in apps into /system (overwrite the built in apps with newer versions). This, however, is not really necessary now that the phones come with 8-16 GB of onboard storage -- used to be important for phones like my 005SH or SH-01D where available ROM space was 200 MB and 850 MB respectively.
Yet another thing you can do is install AutoStarts to disable certain apps from launching when the phone boots, e.g. OneSeg TV and many others -- this will make the phone work faster. But then again, the SH-06E is pretty powerful... how much faster do you want it to be?

Thank you very much for this reply! That's very kind of you. My phone has some little fault (software). When I'm using the lock screen (trying to unlock) the phone resets itself. That's the one problem I have at the moment. My sharp is new and really great but I have little kids and I'm afraid that one day they may use my phone.
I thought if my phone is rooted I can upgrade the system to kitkat or normal jellybean ( not branded) and fix that problem.
Looks like I have only two options. Sell it on ebay or try it to do some upgrade. There are some apps on google play, maybe mobile odin pro or something? Any ideas?
regards for all

Hm... resetting when unlocking the screen... sounds weird. A friend has this phone, and my brother is still waiting to receive his in the next couple of days. But I haven't heard of any such issue with it. What is your build version? The latest one is 1.00.07. I read in the updates list that various bugs have been fixed but no mention of yours.
Have you disabled any apps? Maybe you can try re-enabling everything, then resetting to factory settings --- NEVER reset to factory setting if you have disabled any apps. Not sure about a rooted SH-06E.
I am sure that Android 4.3 will roll out some time this year for the SH-06E. You can upgrade it then. I might be able to help you with that but we'll see once the update comes out.
I did uninstall actually some apps but after when I restored the system everything was ok until I started to install google apps and the others. There may be some conflict. But obviously I'm not sure.
This phone is really pretty so perhaps I will not take a risk but who knows...
It would be nice if you could help me with installation of android 4.3. I have tired to find some information on Japanese websites, a there is some "img files" but those files are to small so perhaps it's not the system.
My build version is 1.00.07.
Kind regards
A little correction. I think I know what the problem is. I did not make an update of google keyboard and the problem gone. At this moment of course, after all day of using my Sharp. I hope this can be helpful for somebody.
Have you finally managed to get QPST worked?
I really want to use EDGE on my SH-06E but it seems that I have to enable it myself with QXDM.
I saw some Japaneses use HTC Diag driver on Xperia Z Ultra and it worked. Perhaps it would work with SH-06E.
hi there,
I just wondering, is it possible to upgrade to the latest (software/firmware/OS) SH-06E outside Japan? can I directly update just like ordinary android phone by OT using wifi?
thanks before

Hey Everyone!
I am at it again! I have made leaps today with my custom ROM.
It is not ready for release just yet but wanted to get a thread started for when it is ready, to get some opinions and further clarification.
Required:
1) Any G930 US Variant
2) Must be on the G930U PEH firmware prior to my ROM
3) Rooted with Flashfire
4) I highly recommend you know how to push apks. It will start out lightly debloated but will be extremely debloated by the time I finish!
What will it contain in v1?
1) Pre rooted
2) Debloated
3) Xposed
4) V4A
5) Might be missing stuff for v1, wait and see!
Suggestions?
Please post early suggestions below. They might not be considered for build 1 but will all beconsidered as we go.
Questions?
1) Maybe someone can chime in but to my knowledge the U firmware will work on any US variant S7? I am asking for clarification since my reasoning of using the U firmware is for it to be useable on all US variants to avoid having to develop for every variant separately (I dont have time for this.)

1. Will you provide links to or host a copy of the G930U PEH firmware?
2. I suppose that since this is the universal firmware, Verizon's Mobile Hotspot provisioning will not prevent us from using Native Mobile Hotspotting....can you confirm...and if not, can you apply a a modded version of the Mobile Hotspot software that bypasses the provisioning (similar to what psouza has done with his VZW debloat script for PE1)

Is the goal here to remedy the battery life issues and CPU hangs that the eng boot/root process created? I'm excited!

The zips provided by psouza are for the PE1 build only. He mentioned somewhere in his thread that it has to be compiled for each build.

I recommend you check out my other rom threads to see what the goal is..
essentially I shoot for an extremely debloated rom which typically does include better speed and battery life but that is more of a side effect imo

Not necessarily. some of it does work.. ideally however i like to bake things in.. the less zips to flash the better.. i wont worry too much as i dont release roms that dont work well to begin with

The fix/fix+debloat zip that disable Verizon's Wi-Fi hotspot tethering provisioning does so by writing a modified framework-res.apk to the device, therefor it needs to match the firmware version. The patch is not complicated though (it's literally just changing/clearing two XML values), so anyone could decompile a different version, patch the xml, recompile, re-sign, and bundle that for any Verizon firmware version.

Hello Friends:
There isn't an HONOR 8X MAX forum, so I have to post here (for now).
Recognizing that there are non-trivial differences between the HONOR 8X and HONOR 8X MAX, does anyone know if a root solution is soon coming for the HONOR 8X MAX?
For a long time I lived happily Ad-free on my NEXUS-6 (which is still going strong as a backup phone), but I really need root on my 8X MAX.
Sadly, I don't have those kinds of skills to do it (or else I would for all to benefit).
Any ideas, rumblings, thoughts?
Thank you (and happy holidays)! ??
There is a way to do it, just look in this forum as there is a root solution already if you don't want to use it, you can always use adguard for example, as it works quite well

I'll have to look harder because I couldn't find one for the 8X MAX, only the 8X. If you have a URL for it, I'd appreciate it. If not, no worries. Thank you.
P.S. I'm trying to avoid ads in apps in addition to the browser. Not that I'm selfish... I nearly always buy ad-free versions of items (including reasonably-priced yearly subscriptions) to support developers. But some apps don't offer that option.
(._.) Not to get off-topic, I'll welcome Root + AdAway again. Thanks.

Hi... I have the ARE-AL10 model. From your signature, yours may be a ARE-AL00 model (I suspect). I think it may be Snapdragon 660 versus 636. I don't know if it makes a difference?
I guess there's no root -- so far/ to date -- for HONOR 8X MAX.
These are great phones at value prices (unlike the $1,000/yr. upgrade treadmill that Samsung would like to continue).
But we do need ROOT to overcome oddities with Chinese phone builds (i.e. Huawei, Xiaomi) - several of which are not trivial and really problematic. :-/
Would the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro root/twrp work with The honor 8x max ?

If you are just look for adblocker you can get it even without root
use Blokada ad blocker it doesnt require root.

Thank you. I find that these no-root ad blockers don't work well within Apps (and what gets through varies from app to app), including Blokada which I tried. Also, I require root for other reasons. Thank you for the tip, though.

Thank you for that link. I might have to wait for that one to mature (iterations). It's hard to gauge all the challenges and pitfalls after translation. Did you install it?

Hi:
Which TWRP and instructions for installing it are you referring to? I would like to read how to install it. Thank you.
You have to register with 4pda and believe me it's a pain in the ass to figure out the captha because it's all in Russian,if shao would post a link to a non Russian site would be great but he still hasn't yet

Ah okay, thank you. I think I visited the same site you're mentioning and stayed away because, being in Russian, could lead to mistakes and brick the phone. ?
Forgive my ignorance, you mentioned "Shao". I don't know who that is. Did he create the 'root'? Thanks again.
Yeah he made TWRP compatible with 8x max

I have a nokia X7 for now around two weeks and I quite good with it.
But i wonder is someone has tried or know about if it is possible to flash the pure android one version. The one that comes in the 8.1 global version on the X7.
Thanks!
I need help converting my x7 to 8.1
Hello all, I guess i'm pretty late to the party. I'm from Bangladesh, and I'm looking for a DIY method to change my chinese x7 rom. Can anyone help??
Maybe you could use this link to flash stock firmware:

Yea i already read that. He have all the access. He can do. What i mean is we can't directly do this without unlocking bootloader. But he can via remot acces. He will charge 5dollars for one conversion. Pretty decent. I also waiting for my 8.1 to unlock the bootloader and flash China Rom

Why would you flash CN rom? Doesn't android one better? I had X7 6gb ram, let say i successfully convert to android one ver (8.1), 8.1 have 4gb ram would it matter? I mean the system will confused? Or it is automatically adjust? Or maybe going to brick?

Actually i am an old user of Nokia 7+. After unlocked bootloader in 7+ i just flashed CN rom and i really like it. Some of the features seems pretty good for me like Face Unlock, long screenshot, Screen record, Double tap to sleep, Navigation bar key adjustment, call recording, etc etc. Also i feel the UI is slightly polished and looks good. After selling 7+ i bought 8.1. But need some above mentioned features. Thats why i am waiting for 8.1 bootloader unlock.. Stock is good and fast. Smooth enough. But just want to try CN rom too..
Well, Android One is good too. U can convert to 8.1. Ram does not matter. It won't brick.
Hey ! I found this X7 with Global firmware.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NOK...7.html?spm=2114.search0104.0.0.10ab6000CidjVh
Does this global firmware means gonna be stuck on Android 8.1 and no more updates ?
I had my X7 converted into a global 8.1 running Android One using Techmesto for $10.
https://shop.techmesto.com/product/convert-nokia-x7-to-global-variant-nokia-8-1-with-android-one/
Was a pretty easy process, ordered, got a email about it to organize a time when they can do it.
The process was simple, just to install TeamViewer on a PC (with LAN port, it needs a LAN port to connect to the internet not WiFi for some reason).
They connected to it, has me connect the phone and enable USB Debugging, and they did the rest remotely.
The guy then logged in, got to work and in about 30 minutes it booted up, saw Android One and immediately got my Jan security update. I can recommend their services, very happy with it now!

I'll def update as soon as I get the February update.
Sorry for the horrible quality, had to use my laptop camera.
https://imgur.com/a/VwDhW0d
I haven't come across any issues with running Android One. The NFC doesn't work but that's expected as the X7 doesn't have NFC.
I also can't record calls anymore, which was super easy with the China ROM. Apparently Google cracked down on call recording apps in Android Pie.
But everything seems fine, seems to work as they should. The camera , voice, dual sims, hotspot all worked soo far.

your answer is very useful for me. I want to buy this phone but I don't know is the OTA update successful? Could you tell me about it?
Hi guys
I'm thinking of going with a custom rom since Samsung have stopped security updates for the s9.
I'm not interested in root.
1) which rom will give the most stable performance with Google pay and banking apps? Back when I used to tinker with roms/root many years ago, it was a cat and mouse game between safety net and magisk. What is the current picture? How often should I expect google pay to break?
2) which rom gives the best battery performance?
3) which roms have automatic updates?
Thanks in advance

Thanks buddy. Will do.
How easy is the process to revert back to stock rom if I'm having issues with banking apps?
How reliable is Google pay with these custom roms?
I don't have the appetite to continually have to make adjustments to my phone to make gpay work.
I would prefer more of a set it and forget it approach.

I don't need root so can install the rom as it is.
What are the chances of success with gpay and banking apps working with and without root?
What is your experience with gpay breaking?
How often does this happen where a workaround is needed?
Thanks
