I'm aware of 4 different brand of "cupcake" firmwares. I don't care which is better... the questions is what does ADP mean, cuz it's being plastering all over on this forums.
It's the developer's version, in laments terms. : )
I don't know what ADP stands for, but it's referring to the name of the firmware put out by HTC for the unbranded version of the G1 known as the Dev phone. All the builds with ADP in the name (JF ADP 1.5 and ADP1.5Hr3) are built off the official release of the firmware called ADP 1.5. Usually ADP builds restrict access to protected apps on the market, but all these custom builds fixed that issue already and can be used on any rooted G1. All you need to know is ADP builds are based off an official release.
thanks for quick reply, I've been speculating over JesusFreke's 1.5 ADP .... I'm debating whetever I should wait for JF's cupcake version of official T-Mo's OTA firmware or go for ADP.
Android Developer Phone =ADP
It was released shortly after the g1 and basically allowed you to not have to sign in to you use it. Not sure if it came rooted or not. It should have if it's a developer phone I'd think.
The Android Developer Phone-1 is a G1 that comes with the engineering second-stage loader and a non-crippled Android 1.0 firmware on it (you could say "rooted firmware", but that's clearly looking at it backwards).
As far as I've been able to discern, once you root a G1 and install a fastboot-capable loader there's no significant difference between what you have and an ADP1. (Except you don't get the cool developer design on the battery cover panel.)
AFIK there is no hardware difference in the ADP1 and G1...

Correct!. you sirs win both win an internet. don't spend it all in one place.
However from what I hear htc limited root on the official adp 1.5 I believe you still have access via adb and thus can reinstate access to the phone, however I recall reading a thread about such a topic... also the adp 1.5 official come bundled with a new recovery image, so becareful after flashing that, you'll lose your ability to do nandroid backups till you reflash a recovery img
About 5 minutes ago I received a notification regarding software upgrade for my Milestone, and true enough it's an upgrade to Froyo. It's available as a 20.7MB .exe file from the official website.
Is it possible to check kernel version without flashing it? I'm running a custom ROM and I don't want to brick it...
And isn't 20.7MB a bit small?
Update: Ok. I think the 20.7MB file is a program to update phones. If anybody (or your girlfriend/wife/grandfather/kid/neighbour/dog) updates it could we have some information here? I'm not optimistic that there'll be an updated or unlocked kernel but we can always hope =)
If you are on custom ROM, I'm not very sure how is it. But I will recommend download and flash the SBF from this website. I think it will be much safer.

Singapore Froyo already there, the below link is a service version sbf, flash it through rsdlite.

Thanks for the replies! Disapponting that there are still DSI errors. (not that I was hoping for much anyway)
Has anyone dumped the partitions from the new OTA yet? Especially since it allegedly has been rooted?
Want to see if VoLTE will work on other ROMs.
I was curious about if there is ever going to be root for the s8 Snapdragon varient for Oreo.
I saw this thread
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....e-oreo-root-japanese-snapdragon-t3830039/amp/
If the Japanese Snapdragon bootloader can be exploited. Maybe in the future, the g950u/g955u can be rooted too?
If someone has information regarding this and knows developers who are working on this? I know that you can install safestrap on Oreo because of me1212(sorry if I spelled his name wrong) and partcyborg and other developers.
THIS THREAD IF FOR DISCUSSION AS IT SAYS IN THE TITLE. IT IS FOR DISCUSSING AND LETTING PEOPLE KNOW INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR SNAPDRAGON S8. Thanks for participating.
No. We use a exploitable nougat kernel. That samsung graciously left us open. The bootloader this day in age and is not exploitable to unlock. Specially on Oreo.
New exploits come along everyday so maybe one day. But not anytime soon. Me and several other look everyday for something possibly missed. But until some new major samsung bootloader exploit comes along which brings me to another point.
This day in age it's almost more worth it to only disclose any such exploits to samsung for nice payment.
The only known way as of now to unlock a U.S. bootloader in a engineering certificate which is branded by cpid to each device individually which means my cert will not work on your device. If not properly backed up mind you. Leaving you with a unusable device in several different ways. I know from first hand experience.
R.I.P My G950U oreo no root (T_T)
Does all this mean I can't root my G950U?

No just can't root Oreo or pie. There are methods on various revision bootloaders to flash a rooted nougat system

One last question.
I read that the Nougat firmware with Bootloader B1 can be rooted.
If I downgrade my G950u to Android 7, can I be able to root and flash Pie ROMs.?

You cant downgrade the bootloader. But there is this.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/root-t3904613
This allows safestrap on Oreo or pie. Which then you can flash the eng boot v5 which is a nougat bootloader but bit 5 then you can install su and a rev1 or 2 nougat system image. It sounds hard but really not bad. But the bootloader rev must remain that of 5
Hey guys,
after all these good messages (like DRM Backup/fix etc.) i consider to root my device finally, like i did with my old Z1. but im also interested in the new pie update to test it out. So im asking myself for some weeks now:
Should i finally root or wait till the update? i heard about the problem of downgrading that, once u get the update you couldn't downgrade to the exploitable fw. What's more, I want to keep my warranty (i know that drm backup is working but the message, that my device cannot be trusted is still there at every boot). i use several banking apps that checks for root and my experience with magisk and root hiding weren't so good at all.
Thats my current situation. Should i root or not?
Irrespective of the Android Version, Rooting on XZP requires you to UNLOCK the bootloader and loosing your DRM KEYS.
so the solution is either xperifix or posts in XDA offering kernels of specific builds for you to flash.
1. lets say you are on OREO and unlock your bootloader, if you wana root that oreo version, you must find the post on XDA offering modded kernels W.R.T that buildnumber for you to flash and flash drmfix.zip & finally flash Magisk.
2. let say you are on PIE, again you will do the same, but I am not sure they already have modded kernels available on xda or not. so make sure!!!
the third option is always (disputed tool on xda known as) xperifix.

Im aware that i have to unlock the BL and all that stuff that i have to flash, thats not the problem at all. im just not sure if i should wait for the update (since some people experience some problems and they said they couldn't downgrade) and root or not. im currently waiting for the OTA update since my provider is vodafone and they take their time before releasing the fw. the benefits of the new updates, that i heard, are just some fixes for Android, new design for the camera ui, full hd ultra slow mo and some ui changes on xperia home. or did i miss some new functions?
If you unlook the BL, OTA didn't work anymore : so you must upgrade the phone by yourself. Via newflasher or (if you've a ftf file flash tool) you can up and downgrade when ever you want. I didn't know exactly in this this moment, how to hold the user data.... you lost in this moment only the feature video enhanced (something with X-....) if you unlook the BL and upgrade to Pie
