HI,every one.I come from china!I am a WP7 fans!But my English is really too too bad!This article it is inevitable that errors and jokes please forgive me!This article mostly from Google Translate
In my country ,DFT ad wpxap websites,is most WP7 forum!The DFT There are many talented,willing to do over some people came to(Of course,Their English than I do!)They are also the technical personnel!Produce many models of free ROM!But are the most of HTC and Samsung!I know make a free ROM, require a lot of time and effort, of course, there are technical!But I and most of the LG C900 users want to have free ROM!!Possible? About what kind?Asked the DFT, but the administrator deleted, they do not develop.Therefore, the XDA is our last hope, please the !
---- A friend from China
There is unfortunately no unlocked bootloader for the C900, so custom ROMs simply aren't possible. Of course when heathcliff74 releases the next version of WP7 Root Tools, it won't matter as you'll have full access to the file system even on stock ROMs.
Filesystem access and app policy modification via WP7 Root Tools v0.9 already works on LG Windows Phones, after applying interop-unlock using the built-in registry editor.

In accordance with the upstairs said, we have LG there is still hope not?That there is no way for us to run similar to the call management or the OPERA such software!Is the need for third-party driver, if you can, how to do it?
im a windows rom developer and curenly have the device in hand came here only found this thread if the bootloder was unlocked I could see replaceing the xip drivers in my rom and flashing to this device but without the bootloader being unlocked I see no way to do anything.
even as a windows phone rom developr im at a dead end.
however I would love to update this device so if anyone has any insite please let me know.

Hello,
I have a Samsung Omnia W interop unlocked before getting the latest update from zune.
I am trying to get internet sharing through this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334248
but when I type the *#0998# code in the diagnosis app, no list comes, so I cannot proceed further with the guide.
Here are my phone software versions:
SO: 7.10.8107.79

bootloader: 5.12.29.0

Can anyone help me getting ICS on my phone ?
Thanks a lot.
ICS?????
what's that mean
ICS: Internet Connection Sharing. It's OK though, there's absolutley no possible way you could have figured that out from the link in the OP, and nobody has ever used that acronym for the feature before... </sarcasm>
It sounds like you either updated your firmware or your DIAG app since you interop-unlocked the phone. If it was a firmware update, you'll need to roll back or you'll need to wait until somebody writes a tool that allows you to process the provxml file using Root Unlock (I assume you have WP7 Root Tools). If you updated the app itself (via Marketplace), uninstall it and then re-install it using the phone dialer.

Hello,
I tried but the "System tweaks" does not show up in the list, so I am unable to go ahead...
Any clues ?
You probably installed a Samsung firmware update (see the other item in my list of reasons why it wouldn't work). If your firmware version is KK2 or newer, you won't be able to use those hacks. Roll the phone back if you want to use it.
Alternatively, these are just provxml files. WP7 Root Tools won't currently process them for you directly, but it's pretty easy to write an app that will do so for you if it has WP7 Root Tool "trusted" elevation via policy.
Thanks,
atm I think that I will try to look inside the provxml files which enables ICS and try to manually edit my phone registry to see if it works. It seems to me the most reasonabe way, also because all those provxml are built for Omnia 7 while I own an Omnia W.
First of all, sorry for my English, I'm Brazilian and looking for some help...
I have a HTC Sorround with Windows Phone 7.5, and my problem is: my phone is from AT&T and some resources that I really needs/want is loked/unavaliable, as wifi tethering and the language Portuguese - Brazil.
Wath I want to know is:
1- The best or only way to activate these and other funcions is using a hacked/standard version of Windows Phone 7.5?
2- I heard that it is a very dangerous process, if something goes wrong there is a salvation? Or my phone becomes trash?
3- After installing a standard/hacked Windows Phone 7.5 firmware I still having access to updates? Or I can't/shouldn't update?
4- If a install a hacked version and sometime I decide to get back to original factory firmware, is that possible?
5- What post do you suggest me to read to lean more about how-to do the process?
Since now, thank you very much for your attention.
In the wp7 section there are a few ways to do it and they are pretty easy. Basically you send the files to the phone to execute. You basically want a dev unlock
MEXICO, October 3, 2016
HELLO, GOOD EVENING, FORUM:
I hope someone can help me in this.
I bought this phone HUAWEI GR3 TAG-L13 TELCEL branded from my country, México, in a monthly plan, which I think is engaging.
It seems to me an excellent device, of course, with some deficiencies, but in attempting to root with SuperSu I left it in an eternal bootloop.
Tried, unsuccessfully, remove it from that state by several methods. I looked up, like many other users, as I saw on Google, tirelessly for many days without getting any method...
The official website of Huawei does not offer any firmware for this device in the country and telephone carrier; there is simply NO official firmware for it!, only the OPEN SOURCE, on which is must compile the firmware, knowledge that the user basic not have about the topic. As a result it is impossible to reinstall the operating system specific for this device, not until Huawei releases compiled firmware (UPDATE.APP, UPDATE.ZIP).
In the end, I resorted to the method described in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...oy-5s-t3433527
This method really works, I have recovered my device and operate, although under the operating system of the carrier TIM (the only download found, as explained in the post mentioned, but is for the specific device TAG-L22, being my own TAG-L13 device operated by Telcel); However, I am determined to fully restore my device to use the functions [IMEI and SIM non-operating loss] and [plan] benefits of my carrier.
I have not resorted to my carrier's Service Center for obvious reasons.
So I come to this forum, of which I hope to get some help, this consisting of that any user of this service have the same device in Mexico and have make a back or attempt to successfully backup your operating system HUAWEI GR3 (TAG-L13) (TELCEL MEXICO - C17B103) ANDROID 5.1, EMUI3.1 [which must be and it has left the factory, i.e. without modifications, or make a previously hard reset], It is required to install recovery Team Win Recovery Project, TWRP, (explained in the same post linked above) and make a TWRP backup or the method Online Nandroid.
NOTE:
If you want to ROOT the device, BE CAREFUL:
SuperSu caused the problem of bootloop on my device, by that, alternatively, install the root of KingRoot_4.9.6_APKTrunk.apk to the device if necessary, or find any other method in Google, and must BE CAREFUL with this part, to avoid the dreaded bug bootloop. For this reason I RECOMMEND STRONGLY to TWRP INSTALL and perform the corresponding BACKUP BEFORE performing any other operation on the device, if is arrived at require reinstalling the same for any problems, included this bootloop.
The objective of this request is that user who has made or makes the suggested backup or have full operating system intact to raise that much-needed support from the operating system to this forum to do the recovery of my device.
I have found these ways to create a file update.zip to flash the operating system suitable to my device; therefore I require this endorsement, which motivates me to write this request to the Forum, waiting for any possible help.
I am infinitely grateful first attention to this request, and of course, the positive response to it; and reward to the possible favorable support of Forum, I commit myself to upload it this .zip file with the corresponding guidelines or referrals for help from someone who had the same problem.
Thank you sincerely.
.D.: Have uploaded or will upload this request to others forums in hopes of a prompt solution. I offer an apology for my bad English.
Hi
I'm from Mexico too and have the same problem with same model and carrier TAG-L13 Telcel ... I can't found rom and even try 2 or 3"custom roms" like that thread TIM image .... with that the device works but there's no signal ( No sim detected and no Imei info )
I think maybe if install xposed and change IMEI maybe carrier would recognize it but not ....
I'll continue searching and wait to respond from forum member's too
I really hope someone can help us
Note:Even tried to ask Huawei's service and the only answer they gave me was " Send it to Service Center , wait 1 month or more and of course we will charge you "
P.D. Sorry for my bad english too XD
Regards

I spend the same friend and I could finally solve the original rom Telcel, everything works 100% I leave the link of the official website, I hope you serve like me. The recovery process is from the stock if your computer does not start or follow the instructions in the PDF that comes in the folder that is generated when you unzip the file, greetings.

What i have: a brand new carrier unlocked samsung galaxy s7 sm-g930w8 - came with 7.0
What Id love to do: downgrade to 6.0.1 official touchwiz rom but rooted
What im reading: that the security patch is from february of 2018, which means the bootloader is too new, which means downgrading using odin wont work ( https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/36282-Does-Region-Matter )
... so what can i do? i bought this phone with the sole intention of downgrading, as ive seen that it is possible for that phone model (s7) in general
i hate the look of the newer OS. They took the touchwiz out of touchwiz which i loved, although mine is a rare opinion. I want the operation and exact feel of 6.0. the menus are simpler, the notifications area isnt completely stripped of features differing from total stock android. i hate having to pull down twice to see everything. I just really want that older look and feel, but all around, not just a theme.
is there anything i can do to either downgrade or fool the bootloader into letting me carry this out? is this a true limitation, or si that info i found false/old? and if I can downgrade, which build version should I use?
ive been looking here for versions
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G930W8/ but im not sure which region to go with, or if i can technically use any region
sammobile doesnt list that version anymore at all ( https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930W8/ )
https://mobiletech360.co/samsung-galaxy-s7-sm-g930w8-stock-firmware-rom-android-6-0-1-marshmallow/ there are a number of options here but unsure of the different numbers/builds. or if since its carrier unlocked, i could pick any?
I know most will think im silly for wanting to downgrade or caring that much about appearance, but silliness aside... is this even possible??
a while ago, i purchased an s5 mini, and downgraded that with no issues at all.... but its honestly been so long and i cant for the life of me remember the steps i took or if i needed to care about region codes or other numbers. but it did sucessfully work.... it was really built unwell/cheap, but it did work.... its also slower than my captivate glide which is still my current phone, until/if i can get this s7 working the way i desire.
any help and guidance is appreciated. If it is needed, ill be using it with a Koodo mobile sim.
well it is too new if its from DRAG or so onwards (those with U2/S2 in the file name) so no dice, you're stuck with 7.0 unless you want to upgrade to oreo. (and 7.0 firmwares prior to DRAG cant be downgraded to either, not that theres much point doing that)
btw this is the wrong forum to post this in

But this is the forum about s7? I'm wanting to modify an s7?
Which part of the file name are you referring to? Which file?
I would have thought all s7's are made at the same time, and so released with the same overall software, but it all seems so complex now. I've seen s7's running 6.0.1 stock so in my mind it seems they should all be able to...
Not sure what you're referring to with drag either? Does that stand for something?
I'm really hoping this can work somehow, its the last flagship before the edge models which was why I got it, and I love Samsung software up until 7 and 8.
My mom has an s7 as well, not rooted or anything that's too complex for her, but she did the upgrade to 8 and it's still got all the same gross appearance factors that I don't like about version 7. I got excited when her phone wanted to upgrade, maybe they had fixed some of the grossness. But, nope. Wish they had included an option even for stock based or touchwiz based appearance and menus.

go into about phone and tell me the last 6 characters of your build number
(i was referring to the PDA file in a stock firmware zip)
(Also i meant this should be in Q&A section)
Hello,
I can understand you and also understand what you want but Samsung installed a downgrade lock in their bootloader in early 2018,
if you installed this version you can't go back to an older version, I think that was in February.
You can go back from a 6.2018 version to a 4.2018 version for example but not to a 1.2018 version!
If you have a version of for example 12.2017, you can also go back to a version of 2016, so you can also go back to Android 6.01,
if not you only have the last versions of Android 7 or update to Oreo.
I hope I could help.

the last of the build number and the last of the baseband version are the same. But i did take a screenshot of it when i was thinking rooting and changing would be no big thing. figured that would be easier. i purposely havent even hooked it up to wifi yet or anything, said no to anything non essential when i was setting it up... on the chance it was starting up in version 6, and i didnt want it upgrading on its own.
also why would they block downgrading? It seems if anything blocking upgrading would be the way to go, to stop people from updating their devices before official software is ready, not just samsung but any manufacturer. in my head it seems silly to even need to root anymore... someone always figures it out, and cell phone manufacturers must know it. it would be nice if it were included, sort of like developer options, where its hidden, but if you know what to look for its there, and if youre not that advanced youll never find it.
if the bootloader is in fact locked and that is the main prevention, has anyone ever successfully unlocked it before?
ETA: Ive done a bit more looking around and there is alot around about frp and making you sign in to a google account in order to reset.... i have *not* needed and havent signed into a google account on that device at all... does that mean a downgrade is still possible though odin? Or, are these 2 things in fact unrelated...
eta #2: Did a bit more searching around, and it seems to be that in order to root your device, in the process it must unlock the bootloader? If that is still the case, would i be able to then flash the marshmallow stock ROM? Thats what i was looking to do all along, sorry maybe i should have been more clear about my planned method initially. Its a bit more nerve wracking as it seems rooting itself has gotten a little more difficult with that dm verity thing... but I definitely want root no matter which version im running. Ive had root on all my devices and theres no way im going back to a locked down OS (cant remove microsoft stuff for example), i need to be able to declutter beyond what factory allows lol.

TL;DR
your bootloader is currently on version 3, and you cant downgrade to marshmallow
see that "U3BRB2"? that "U3" means your bootloader is on version 3. i assume the marshmallow firmwares use bootloaders pre-version 3 so you cant downgrade to firmwares using bootloaders with version 1 or 2. (this is how it works for F/FD models and im pretty sure samsung made it like that too for the W8 models)
eta 1) unrelated
eta 2) F/FD/W8/S/K/L variants (basically all the exynos models) have unlocked bootloaders. only SD variants have locked bootloaders so it's just your misconception
So, it's literally impossible? Has nobody ever figured out a way to downgrade or mod the bootloader itself? It seems to me the rom makers wouldn't stand for this at all and would figure out a way around it...
I can see an old bootloader can't run new software, but it seems much easier for newer bootloader to run older software, isn't it? You can buy a windows 7 pc and install Windows xp on it much easier than you could buy a windows XP PC and install Windows 7 on it... It's just boggling my mind a little

Off course you can downgrade to Marshmallow. To unlock the bootloader, enable OEM unlocking in devlopper options. After flash TWRP 3.1.0 for Herolte and wipe everything from the recovery. Install any 6.0 roms on XDA for G930F then flash Magisk 17.1 to root and you're done. You can't FRP if OEM unlocking in devlopper is enabled.

You'll trip knox (which breaks features like secure folder, private mode, shealth and Sbrowser private mode) and lose the comfort of OTA updates if you do this tho. Not to mention that you can encounter signal reception problems because your flashed ROM is on marshmallow and your bl/cp is on Oreo or nougat. So I wouldn't advise this method as it may break so many things.
Hey Guys,
I have been googling for a while now and I seem to constantly come across conflicting and at times worrying posts which has very much left me stuck right were I am. I just recently purchased a Mate 9 in the hope I would be able to, like all my previous mobiles install a custom rom and tweak it to my specific needs. This however hasn't been the case.
Firmware:
System 8.0.0.046
Dataver MHA-L09 8.0.0.371(C34)
Things that have been tried:
1. No I didn't get a boot unlocker code from the Huawei
2. Yes I have contacted them personally via two different channels and both returned with a we are happy to give it to you, that's not an issue, but this code doesn't exist anymore.
3. DC-Unlock tool didn't detect my mobile in manufacture mode, in which I found another forum post stating to use HCU 3.22 client instead which worked to the point of detecting my mobile, but told me that the current security patch not supported.
4. Contacting DC-Unlock, told me there is no ETA on getting this patch level to work
5. I have read people downgrading to a previous version, unlocking and then installed the custom rom via HiSuite, this doesn't give me that option.
6. I have read people downgrading to a previous version, unlocking and then installed the custom rom via firmware finder.
6.1 Issues with this is that I seen someone claim to upgrade to version 8.0.0.3.75, which is higher then mine, which enabled the rollback feature, is this correct?
6.2 Issues with this is that I have read that gpu turbo has been enabled and many have warned that rolling back to a pre-gpu turbo enabled firmware will brick you mobile and would result in a motherboard needing to be replaced for nearly the cost of the mobile itself.
I am tempted to try another site which I can't remember the name of, which if you pay considerably more then DC-Unlock. at least if they can't get the code, would be refunded. but I think that site is down now as I feel they were playing on people who didn't know how to have done it for free via the Huawei site back in 2018.
So I want to know is there a safe way to unlock my bootloader I think my only option is option 6 but just want more details from others who have done it this way before, or have I pretty much exhausted all my option and just bite the bullet and upgrade to 9.0.1.187 and possibly further through the OTA update process and just enjoy the mobile for what it is and it's limitations?
Thanks again.
You can try the spoofing method here on xda I updated from 8 to 9 with that, as long as firmware finder says your imei is approved

Thanks for that, I can already upgrade to 9, my system updates app is just waiting for me to accept. The issue is that I don't want to go forward. I really want to go backwards, so I can unlock my bootloader first. I'm already at the stage where I have tried most if not all the safe ways to unlocking my bootloader, but with my currently installed android version I can't. The only way forward for me it seems is the firmware finder app and SD force flash back to EMUI 5 aka Android 7 to use DC-Unlocker to unlock it first, then that gives me the freedom of installing the official Android 9 or openkirin.
I just worried as some people have stated that if you attempt a downgrade after a specific point, something about GPU turbo being enabled in later firmwares, which will brick your mobile.
I just want to hear from others who have done this successfully or if it's not possible in my case.
