Hello everybody,
I currently have a camera firmware problem on a sm-g930F.
I just bought a new s7. It is under NOUGAT.
As Xposed is not yet compatible with NOUGAT, I decide to install MARSHMALLOW via ODIN.
Everything is going well...
After installing Xposed & Co, I decide to test the camera ...
The launch of the camera fails!
After consulting several post:
Update Camera firmware *#34971539#
Camera Firmware Help
I realize that the firmware of the camera is D12LSJD ****
And that the firmware used by the rom stock Marshmallow is C12LS ****** (Nougat stock = D12LSJJ **** = Functional camera)
Q1:
Is there a way to use the phone firmware of the NOUGAT version?
Q2:
Is there a way to downgrade the firmware of the camera?
What I have already tried:
Recover the firmware of the NOUGAT version:
Installation by Odin a ROM NOUGAT
Recover files under /vendor/firmware
companion_fw_imx260_d.bin
fimc_is_fw2_imx260_d.bin
These two files contain in the last line the version used by the telephone
Installation by Odin a rom MARSHMALLOW
Rename companion_fw_imx260_d.bin -> CamFW_Companion.bin
Rename fimc_is_fw2_imx260_d.bin -> CamFW_Main.bin
Create an empty file -> 1q2w3e4r.key
Put these 3 files at the root of the phone's internal memory
Type *#34971539# in the phone application (All buttons are enable)
Phone to Cam (Main) + wait + reboot
Phone to Cam (73CX) + wait + reboot
FW WRITE COUNT: Main (1) and 73CX (1)
Result:
Camera version: Always the same, no change.
Add firmware:
Installation by Odin of a rom MARSHMALLOW
Set the system partition to write
Copy companion_fw_imx260_d.bin to / vendor / firmware
Copy fimc_is_fw2_imx260_d.bin to / vendor / firmware
Reboot the phone
Result:
Camera version: Always the same, no change.
Replace the used files:
Replace in the ROM MARSHMALLOW the two firmware files by those recover under NOUGAT after renaming them
Result:
Phone Version (MAIN): null
Phone Version (73CX): none
I do not know what to do.
In NOUGAT version no problem because the firmware of the phone is superior to the firmware of the camera.
In MARSHMALLOW version the firmware of the phone is lower than the firmware of the camera.
Please help me
Thank you all.:highfive:
I would try to WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET at Recovery Menu and reinstall FW afterwards.
Try also a different FW, download it at sammobile.com using the country it was first bought as filter
It's highly recommended NOT to downgrade FW. You might consider staying with NOUGAT and abandon Xposed ;p
I have already tried with other rom country. I have already done the steps mentioned.
It is out of the question to give up xposed.
.
I just managed to make the rear camera work with the Nougat .bin ... but not the front camera
With the original .bin file the front camera works but not the rear.
Half solution
As I said earlier,
With the /venoor/firmware/ files:
fimc_is_fw2_imx260.bin
setfile_imx260.bin
I can operate either the front camera or the rear camera.
With files from nougat, rear camera works (photos and videos)
With files from marshmallow (rom stock installed), front camera works.
So I created two zip files to flash using TWRP to alternate cameras under marshmallow with Nougat camera firmware (not phone camera firmware).
The solution is not optimal but has the merit of functioning ...
I almost never use the camera before so this solution suits me ... waiting for the compatibility of all my applciations under nougat.
Thanks to this gigantic forum for all helps !

Does this solution require root? I downgraded to use Knox and I need to stay on 6.0.1 but camera fails but the solution I'm looking for can't be via root

No root just flash with TWRP my uploads files
Good stuff! Just so I understand (I'm trying to do this with my S7 Edge SM-G935FD), you are copying the original files to /system/vendor and putting-in the blank 1q2w3e4r.key file, correct? Is that all it takes to allow the grayed-out buttons in the camera firmware flasher to appear?

So, by placing those three files in the /sdcard folder I was able to make the "Default FW Write (73CX)" button to be active. When I press it I get a confirmation box to "Update Firmware", followd by a "Now Updating..." screen. After about 2-3 minutes it is finished with a "F/W dump complete" screen. However, when I go back and check FW versions, nothing has changed. I'm doing this on the S7 Edge, so I don't want to try the zip files provided. Has anyone else had luck doing this?
I never succeeded to downgrade camera firmware... but follow post 4 follow the procedure to find files from your own phone and it should be able to work
after flashing cam firmware - my device can't starting.
stock rom flash not helps, root not help too.
flashing previous rom not help. what I can do?

First of all I would not have flashed the Galaxy S7 camera firmware to a Note 7
Go to your Note 7 forum and hope that someone has the correct firmware / unbrick method, and next time read what you are about to flash and make sure it's for your device...
I actually solved this on my phone. I downgraded my S7 (bootloader SW rev 2) from O to MM (for reasons), using Oreo BL and CP, and MM AP and CSC odin flash files. Only one of the cameras could be made to work, as described by OP, using one of the zip files provided by him. *#34971539# would show the camera firmware version as D12[something] and the phone FW version as C12[something]. I have the feeling that newer android can access both a C12[something] AND a D12[something] firmware file at the same time and therefore operate both cameras: in newer android versions there are both a fimc_is_fw2_imx260.bin and a fimc_is_fw_imx260_d.bin in the /system/vendor/firmware/ directory. The versions can be read using "tail -c 11"; the imx260.bin file is version C12[something], the imx260_d.bin is version D12[something] (at least on the original rom that happened to be on my phone that time). The C12 file is needed to operate the front cam, the D12 is needed to operate the rear cam; the zip files by OP install the D12 files to make the rear cam work but break the front cam.
The MM kernel has some code for flashing the camera firmware rom ("FROM") (see /drivers/media/platform/exynos/fimc-is2/vendor/mcd/ files fimc-is-sec-define.c and fimc-is-sysfs.c, in particular the functions called by accessing the "from_write" sysfs entry), but it is buggy and probably a rudiment from earlier versions when this was actually something people could do. I think the code is not functional as it is now, but I was able to modify the kernel and recompile it to a point where I could flash the FROM dump from another S7 I had access to (which had MM and both cameras working). The process involved a lot of trial and error and was quite involved, and I don't know if anyone besides me is left who cares to downgrade an S7 to MM, therefore I won't go more into more detail here. If someone does need this, PM me or post here, but expect this to be complicated and risky.
Just a warning: I am reasonably sure that the imx260.bin files found in the /system/vendor/firmware/ directory are not meant to be flashed to the camera rom, so please don't do any renaming to CamFW_Main.bin etc., as described in some threads relating to older phones. If you succeed in flashing this to the FROM you will just overwrite the data that is actually supposed to be there and the cameras will both stop working.

HOW TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE Wi-Fi PROBLEM OF YOUR SAMSUNG DEVICE- DESCRIPTION -This is a GUIDE on how to repair the Wi-Fi problem characterized by not having the ability to TURN ON the Wi-Fi after flashing:
1. A new firmware;
2. A new custom rom;
3. Anything else that may interfere with the /system folder of your device.- WARNING -This tutorial is based on the I9505 phone, but if you have this problem on another Samsung device you just need to find the specified BOOTLOADER and MODEM related to YOUR MODEL.- YOUTUBE VIDEO - To understand the whole process completely I have made an YouTube video, because I think it's a better way of understanding what you should or shoudn't do. Video is recorded at 1080p @60fps so it will take longer to process on YouTube, be patient, it will be worth waiting.
- EXPLANATIONS -THERE ARE 3 THINGS OVERALL THAT YOU SHOULD DO IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM:
1 - UPDATE THE BOOTLOADER - YOU CAN ONLY FLASH A BOOTLOADER THAT IS ONLY BUILT FOR YOUR DEVICE = S4 USES A BOOTLOADER, S5 ANOTHER BOOTLOADER AND SO ON;
2 - UPDATING THE MODEM - YOU CAN ONLY FLASH A MODEM THAT IS ONLY BUILT FOR YOUR DEVICE = S4 USES A MODEM, S5 ANOTHER MODEM AND SO ON;
3 - ONLY FOR ROOTED I9505 - YOU CAN ONLY FLASH THIS FILE ONLY IF YOU ARE RUNNING 4.4.2 OFFICIAL TW ON I9505. NO OTHER EXCEPTIONS.
Neccesary step - You need to edit the build.prop file of your phone with an app like Root Explorer, situated in /system folder and find the line containing ro.securestorage.support=true and change it to false then save the file.

PROJECT ABANDONED
There is NO SOLUTION to Sony's tampering. I am currently working on CM12.1 for the C3.
Good day to all you C3 owners.
Today, I bring you something GREAT:
Stock 19.3.A.0.472, Rooted, De-Bloated, and Deodexed
This ROM should (Theoretically) be able to run Xposed Framework by rovo89, due to having been deodexed. It has also been De-Bloated (See below for a list of what's been removed), and comes pre-rooted, with a custom boot animation.
Images:
Unfortunately, I HARD-BRICKED my C3 while developing CyanogenMod for it, so I can't provide screenshots at the moment. I will upload them as soon as my phone comes back from the repair shop.
Features:
Deodexed - Should work with Xposed
De-Bloated - No more unnecessary apps taking up precious Space and RAM
Rooted - With SuperSU keeping your C3 in top form
How to install:
Make sure that your BootLoader is UNLOCKED and that you have Sony firmware 19.3.A.0.472 installed BEFORE attempting to install this software.
Pre-requisites:
Unlocked BootLoader (Use the Z3c unlock option over at Sony Developer World)
Firmware 19.3.A.0.472
[NUT]'s XZDR for Xperia T2 Ultra (Compatible with C3 as well)
Installation:
Copy the downloaded ZIP file to your phone (Preferably SD card)
Reboot into recovery (Preferably [NUT]'s XZDR TWRP)
[OPTIONAL] Wipe data (Factory Reset) for a *FULL* De-Bloat
Install the ZIP file that you previously downloaded onto your phone
[IMPORTANT] Read the disclaimer. The setup will pause for a minute to allow you to do this.
Wait for the new ROM to install. You will get a message when it's done.
[IMPORTANT] Wipe Cache & Dalvik
Reboot into your new system
[IMPORTANT] Enjoy!

Stock 5.0.2 - Debloated, Deodexed, Rooted, ROM for the Sony Xperia C
Contributors
Riccorbypro
ROM OS Version: 5.0.x Lollipop
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.x
ROM Firmware Required: Unlocked Bootloader
Based On: Stock Sony 5.0.2 Lollipop

Code:
Version 0.1
Initial Release.
F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Will this increase my Internal Storage?
No. It uses the /system partition, which is separate from the /data partition, where your Internal Storage actually is.
Will this make my phone faster?
Theoretically, yes, because it has less bloatware included with the ROM. However, speed depends on a lot of factors, such as how many apps you have, whether they stay open in the background, and how much RAM the apps that do stay open use. As a general rule, the more "free" RAM you have, the faster your phone will be. ("Free" is in quotes because it isn't actually empty, it just contains cached data. For example: If you open WhatsApp, close it, and then open it again, it will open faster the second time because the app is already cached in RAM and does not have to be loaded from storage again.)
Does this ROM support Xposed?
Yes (Or at least, it should. I haven't personally tested this yet...). The reason Xposed didn't work on our device is because Software Version 19.3.A.0.472 was shipped with a corrupted Services.odex file. Because I have deodexed this ROM, there is no longer a Services.odex file to actually BE corrupted, so Xposed should work. Should...
Is this ROM better than Sony's Stock 5.0.2, even though it's based on the Stock ROM?
In my opinion, yes. But I am biased because I "made" the ROM (Not really "made" so much as "customized to my preferences", but made sounds better...), and love to customize devices. Xposed allows for customization, while anyone will like something that they've made (or at least done something to). I think this ROM is better because it allows you to make your device YOURS, and not "just another phone" (*cough* *cough* "Apple" *cough* *cough*). But you'll have to make up your own opinion this time...
Does this ROM fix the rear camera?
No. It is based on the Stock Sony 19.3.A.0.472 Lollipop, so it will have the same bugs as the Stock ROM.
How do I report a bug?
Use the "Bug report" tab. Just fill in the fields, and I'll get an email about it. Just be as descriptive as possible, please.
If you have any further questions, please ask in the thread.

It has been written on the thread title, C3 D2533.
No, it's for the D2533. You can unlock the bootloader using the same unlock code as the Z3 Compact

It has something to do with the way the camera processes images, it became a bit too aggressive in noise filtering.

Wasn't angry, just affirming your suspicions on it. Now if someone were to flash it on an Xperia C I'd be angry for just a little bit. And maybe amused. :good:
The camera quality is bad in the Lollipop update because the camera firmware was originally made for KitKat, and just adapted for Lollipop. Hopefully, by the time the official 5.1.1 update comes out, Sony will have listened to our complaints and redone the camera firmware (or at least optimized it better than for the 5.0.2 update!). For the mean while, We'll just have to make do with what we have...
I'm also having trouble with the cm12.1 camera, as I can't find the actual source for the firmware anywhere, so I'm afraid that it won't be any better. I might just go ahead and build an experimental build without camera support in the mean time, though, but I'll only do that once my C3 has come back from repairs (They now say that, since they can't flash it in-house, they've sent it in to their main office for "Advanced Repairs" - whatever that means!).
So I'm now stuck without a phone, as my XGo, I just discovered, no longer has the last 2 SIM reader pins, so it doesn't read my SIM card at all. I'm just hoping that I'll actually get my phone back...
Ricco hav another doubt if the problem is only in the camera algorithms then the files should be system partition right? Then why cant v edit those files and files and flash it.
I hav also seen a moded stock camera app for moto g in which there is a option to turn of noise cancelation is it possible for our xperiac3?

Ok, I found the error. Try the attached files (Just extract the original and replace the META-INF, then recompress - Should save you about a gig of downloading!)
If neither one works, just tell me, I'll try remake the script completely (At the moment it's just copy-pasted parts of other scripts!)

Be happy, when 5.1 rolls out you would have easily deodexed it if you cleaned everything before then. Besides, the kernel and CM12.1 is more of a priority right now. I doubt anyone uses Xposed much, and the stock kernel governors are horrible.
Btw, you didn't send your phone to Sony center did you? I brought mine in for a screen replacement and they told me it takes a week. I got it back after a month D=

Well, I could just put out the system.img and you could fastboot flash it, but I suppose you're right. And trust me, A LOT of people use Xposed. And on CM12.1, I'm getting Make error 41 for the java classes, because one of the files I need doesn't exist. And repo sync doesn't help me there, because the file isn't even in the CM12.1 repo, so yeah...
And no, I took it to my carrier, Vodacom. I don't know if they've taken it to Sony (Which I explicitly told them NOT to do), but they did send me an SMS the other day saying that my phone "is in the repair process". Hopefully I'll get it back soon, but I'm on campus at the moment, and won't be able to get off for another 2 weeks, so even if it does come back soon, I won't be able to get it until then.
Hey man, this is a long shot but could you make a deodexed version of D2502 C3 Dual as well? Thanks!
Hello
I've a Leagoo T5 wich use his own Nougat modifiied. TERRIFIC !!!
I'm looking for another ROM wich supporting all feature (also double rear camera and fingerprint reader) because it's impossible to use it.
T.I.A.

You can use "MTK Extractor" to extract system.img and other files, you can then modify them, and flash them using "SP Flash".
I recently uploaded a clean stock ROM (LEAGOO_T5_OS2.1_E_20180116) to Mediafire and Needrom.
I've also uploaded a carepack if you are interested in the new ROM, or even for a custom.
The command for fast boot is: fastboot oem unlock

Do you mind sharing please? I'd love to get a working custom rom on this device.
I still can't add links yet, so you will have to Google search: "MTK Extractor". Download it, and then download the latest official ROM, which I have uploaded to Needrom and Mediafire, Google search: "OS2.1_E_20180116".
Extract the "system.img" file from the stock ROM using MTK Extractor, you can then go ahead and make your customization's. System apks are signed and locked, however they can be replaced.
When you have finished, you can use MTK Extractor to create a new system.img file with all of your modifications (including root, if you add it). The size for system.img is 4096mb.
The MTK Extractor tool uses a slider bar and text input for the partition size, the slider is limited, however enter 4096 into the text box (don't delete the text, it bugs).
Enter fastboot (Power + Volume up), third option, then using ADB with command prompt, type the command: "fastboot oem unlock", and then accept.
Now you have unlocked the phone, you can run your custom ROM. In a factory locked state, ROM's will install, but not run.
I forgot to mention my Needrom pack contains MTK Extractor. If you can make roms, there are 3 stock bugs that I would ask you to fix.
1: If the navigation bar is hidden, there is a window transition blip (bottom of the screen) if you swipe to recent apps.
2: If you select the first (bottom left) icon from the lock screen (voice, usually), you get a grey background.
3: Bluetooth scanning sometimes bugs (MAC instead of name), once paired there are no issues.*
* This may be due to my headset, but I remember my TV also displaying a MAC once.
Also, can you align or remove the 4G icon that shows even with data turned off.
Ok... So far this thread seems to be the only one on xda-dev about leagoo T5, which i just buy.
By the way thanks Ferather for pushing the rom on need rom.

Need help
Hi, could you please share the Mediafire link?
Since the last rom update (LEAGOO_T5_OS2.1_E_20180822 aka OS2.1_E_20181025) I post on needrom a moded rooted boot with magisk.
i have this leagoo t5 running this newest e_20181025 but im getting a problem with my front facing camera only displaying like an upsidedown image of the rear camera. please advise on what i can do to fix this
Maybe inconsistence between differents partitions (like boot and system)
If you know what you are doing I will advise reflashing all principal partitions.
But i don't think the phone came like this when new, so someone must have messed something.

No issues, other than the one I have mentioned, which is just an app default.
Enjoy!
hey cool rom bro.
Thank for sharing.
No problem, I thought I would start the ball rolling for customization of the rom, since adding ringtones does not work with the stock rom (media storage app issue I think).
You can permanently edit the rom yourself, which I found very easy. If you want to add apps, simply install them from sdcard or store, then navigate to "/data/app", you will find your installed app or update, with odex files and libs, if any.
I created a temp folder on "/data" called "Working" and copied everything into it, and then setup the correct permissions, and renames, and transferred to either "/system/app" or "/system/priv-app", depending on the app.
A better way to do it, is to use "Lubuntu" from live USB or DVD, and then mount the image and edit it as root: "sudo *file explorer*", in this case "sudo pcmanfm-qt", then create a folder in "/mnt" called "ROM".
Next copy "system.img" to "/tmp", and mount it "sudo mount /tmp/system.img /mnt/ROM", now you can do whatever you like, but make sure to "chown" and "chmod" all your modifications.
Make sure you delete anything you will replace when you transfer, else you might get old unused files (folder merged and non-replaced items remain).
----
If you make edits on the phone using an app, and want to make your own "system.img", use the readback option in "SP Flash Tool".

Note: Most non-stock apps *do not* support the triple (3x) camera setup, and will either use the wrong camera or crash.
Yeah I encounter problems too to add custom ringtone and wallpaper but i manage to get over it by changing some files permissions
By the way I am "456456" on needrom, the boot img with magisk is from me
I know the time needed to make a custom rom and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one trying to mess with this not-bad-at-all cheap phone
There is a possibility of an Oreo port, there is a Leagoo T8s with the the same chip that runs Oreo 8.1.0. I have checked over the rom and it looks possible (based on my basic knowledge).
Cygwin + Cmder, for Android. I made the pack myself, and thought it might help others using Windows who want various Linux tools.
I added Cmder for better console support and easy admin: ---- http://www.mediafire.com/folder/lzsf7xd2wwsm4/Commander
Quick update, will now self configure "/home", added ADB and Fastboot.

Hi, Running your ROM with no other mods, it's certainly better than original. Just curiousis there anyone working on an Oreo based ROM ?. ... J
Thanks, I did not manage to get the Oreo from the T8 to function, due to hardware changes.

Ah !, C'est la vie, would have been interesting. Apologies for late reply was away from home and didn't have much spare time. ... Jack
please tell me how you can fix the inverted touchscreen Leegoo T5
Few days ago as expected, official users (who is using CN-EN official ROMs) of Le Pro 3 AI (further mentioned "x7") got an OTA update to the latest release of EUI 6.0.030S.
The miracle that expected was not appeared. It is still based on Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow).
The ROM is still not localized for other countries, it contains only CN and EN languages.
And there still many bloatware of LeEco services that is very annoyance.
But first of all, the apps inside are now more optimized and as I see, they starting and function faster then previously.
Ok, let's go to the main part - links =)
The Official Site where you can download the ROM based on OTA update scheme is HERE. Also you can download a copy of OTA package from HERE.
But if you want to download faster, you can use my clouds where I'm continuously holding the most of Official ROMs for x7.
---> MEGA (follow into the folder called "original_stock")
---> FEX
Inside my clouds you can find that the ROM filenames contains not only a version but also an appropriate suffix (_OTA or _FASTBOOT). It's used to separate the ROMs by the installation method.
The FASTBOOT prepared ROMs contains an installation scripts (.BAT for Windows and .SH for Linux/Mac) for not only full installation (with clearing of User Storage), but also for update (without clearing of User Storage).
Please be careful, don't even try to install via FASTBOOT without clearing of User Storage, if you currently have functioning non Official multilingual EUI like 5.9.027S (faked as 028S in menu "About phone") or other non official!!! If you'll do this you will get many conflicts in settings and apps.
I expect that the FASTBOOT updating instructions are widely known, but remind them once more:
1) Enable the "Developer options" menu by clicking on "Build number" 7 times in the "About phone"
2) In the "Developer options" menu, turn on "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging"
3) Connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable
4) Run one of the installation scripts from the folder of the unpacked firmware
5) Immediately upon startup, allow on the phone screen the "USB debugging" permission for your computer, preferably within the checkbox "always trust this device"
6) Wait until the installation process finishes (15-20 mins), calmly referring to the fact that the phone itself will reboot into FASTBOOT mode, and also please ignore the Sparse format error message (it's normal)
7) The phone itself will reboot into a new OS ... the first launch will be very long
Please feel free to ask anything here about the installation process, cloud links etc.
But be ready that I'm not fast answering.
Any other questions including the comparison of EUI versions performance and functionality will be ignored by me.
We still have the device that is highly secured with unknown protection mechanism and that gets us unable to build any quality custom ROM. =|
thank you
I should have researched before buying the device kk was already "lost" trying to find a customized rom for him. this part of the text: "We still have the device that is highly secured with unknown protection mechanism and that gets us unable to build any quality custom ROM. =| " , clarified me a lot

ROM does not have Google applications. You need install it. I think this still working in this version: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/leeco-le-pro3-a1-model-x651-guides-development--and-mods/automated-installer-gapps-morelocale2-t3752576
Ok installed the 30s mod version from https. ://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=895159&st= 2020#entry77308634
and it includes gapps.
You can install another launcher to get rid of ads.
There is no root for this rom, right?

030S mod is based on APKs of 030S with few modifications... but it also runs the old Boot from version 027S... so it may have some unexpected behavior...
yes, all of these ROMs have no root... but with mods based on Boot of 027S version you can use a temporary root (one time booting into TWRP) for further system modifications and then back to boot with native stock kernel and modified system will run good (expect the problems with apps you may cause by modifications)
hi, how i can install this ROM if I use a non official Rom? I mean, I recived this phone yesterday with a 028s (stable) that is non official, and I want to install this official ROM.

Does the NFC work on this rom? I had 028s before but the NFC was disabled.

What you can't see? The scripts?
You need to look at the contains of unpacked ROM zip that have suffix "FASTBOOT" in filename. There must be files with names like "x7_fastboot_tool.bat" and "x7_fastboot_tool_noUser.bat" and also same files with ".sh" extensions for Linux.
For installation to start you need to run one of this scripts. To run from CLI (CMD), not by double-clicking on it.
what's the score in antutu in new rom ? I have 50000....
dilnix,
I've downloaded the FULL_X7_X7-CN-FN-KGXCNFN6003009091S-6.0.030S.zip which don,t have the fastboot tools.
Do you have instructions to install this?
Big thank you!

This is an OTA package. But it's buggy, my try to make a direct update from 028S to this 030S with OTA way was failed, and I heart many reviews about same behavior.
So I think the best way to update is to use Fastboot with scripts and executable provided in my package that contains "_FASTBOOT" suffix in filename.
From there you can use script "x7_fastboot_tool_noUser.bat" (or .sh option in Linux) to make update to 030S (only from clean stock 025S, 026S or 028S, not from fake 027S or any mod) without clearing of Userdata Storage.
Or you can use script "x7_fastboot_tool.bat" (or .sh option in Linux) to make a new installation of 030S with clearing of Userdata Storage (from any other previous ROM).
If you can't download by my links provided in topic, please write here and I'll try to solve this.

My x650 shows 87000 in antutu on 030S. I can't know what is reason you having less.
Currently my Le pro 3 ai is on non official 5.9.27s I have to downgrade it to 5.9.25s.what should I do. Further I want to update my device to eui 6.0.30s. Any help is highly appreciated .
I think that is 027s custom rom better than this 028s. I recommend you to not change anything.

As an example of this way how to move into stock 028S with flashing first 025S and then just update to 028S (or 030S if you want) I prepared a video half of year ago. HERE
I understand that not all processes there are perfect... for example I used ADB to push ROM instead of MTP that is much faster =)
But if you have experience and you sure in other option of processing the steps explained in this video - enjoy and good luck.
Hope it will help somebody.
P.S.: Now I have some trouble with focus (can't focus larger then 120 cm) in stock Camera on EUI 030S and have a plan to get 028S back just for testing of Camera and focus processing.
P.S.2.: If you will have desire to get back into custom 027S you had earlier, you always can make it. It's available on both forums (XDA & 4pda). But you need to know, that changing of using between clean stock and custom ROMs is always requires you to clean a Userspace too.
Thanks for your reply . But I want to ask is there is risk of getting brick if anything goes wrong.
Hello A7600-F Tablet owners, It's been awhile since there has been an updated ROM for this tablet. I have released ported ROMs for this tablet before, however they all had some annoying bugs and many of you reported issues with corrupted SD card partitions. The goal of this ROM is to provide as close to daily driver material for this old tablet as possible.
What better ROM than Resurrection Remix to do the job! :good:
Instructions:
Follow carefully! This process involves going back to STOCK firmware FIRST! This is to ensure your Internal storage gets properly formatted.
SAVE YOUR PERSONAL DATA! (Some where other than your tablet) You will lose it when flashing stock firmware. Don't worry about the struggles of getting ROOT on stock firmware, I have expedited the process greatly.
STEP 1: Get back to stock firmware. THIS STEP ERASES EVERYTHING, so save your data!!! Don't skip this step.
- Get any stock firmware file from here and follow the tutorial also in this link!
- The SP-Flash tool and drivers are all conveniently included with the firmware download.- Don't worry about taking the battery out when the tutorial says to.- If you have issues with the driver provided in the download, try these. (Run dpinst.exe) - Once completed boot into the new firmware just to ensure that you were successful. (Don't worry about going through initial setup we don't need it)
STEP 2: Install TWRP without root. You should now have a stock A7600-F Tablet, lets put TWRP back on.
- We will install TWRP with the same SP-Flash tool so that root is not required.
- Download the SP-Flashable TWRP image and scatter file from here.
- Follow the instructions in the tutorial linked in step 1 again but use the extracted TWRP scatter file you just downloaded instead of the stock firmware scatter file.
- You should only see "RECOVERY" listed in SP Flash Tool instead of all the stock partitions like last time - Once complete unplug the USB and use Vol-UP and Power buttons to get into TWRP
STEP 3: Wiping Instructions. THIS IS IMPORTANT! You should have TWRP installed and running at this point.
- DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE! Doing so will cause the Corrupt SD-Card errors!
- Just don't do it! There is never any need to wipe internal storage on most devices.
- Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
- Select only: Dalvik/Art Cache, System, Cache, and Data
- Wipe it.
STEP 4: Installing RR 7.1.2. You should now have an A7600-F with the stock partitions restored, and no ROM installed, sitting in the TWRP main menu.
- ROM Download: here
- GAPPS Download: here (Select Arm, 7.1, and whatever size you want)
- Now simply flash the ROM ZIP followed by the Gapps ZIP.
Reboot and Enjoy!
Things I improved over previous ROM PORTS:
- Better Audio quality
- Smoother Substratum OMS Support
- Camera Fixes
- FM Radio (Headphones only)

Just yesterday I've dusted off this tablet, and so I was browsing the forums to see what rom I can put inside, and lickily, about the same time this thread was created! Installing it right now, gonna post a follow-up once I'm finished tinkering with it.
OK, firstly wanna thank you for this awesome rom, it's stable and fast, no major issue with it. What I did find, however, is that the camera flash is not working along with the night mode which is not turning on. Besides those two issues, everything seems to be in working order
Cheers!

Thanks for the report.
Camera flash? My A7600 Does not have a flash. No actual LED to produce a flash.
As for the Night mode, I have ported a lot of ROMS to this device and I havn't ever seen the night mode work right. If I even do get it to turn on, it lags the whole device.

Haha, I've turned the damn thing over, looked at the sensor, and you're right. Havent actually used this device previously to know about it, so glad we have that one sorted out!
Thanks SaberShip. The ROM works great for general use and apps but I'm having an issue downloading files. It says SD card not found Download to default folder. I attempt to download to Downloads folder where it says I have 10.43gb stroage available but it keeps telling me SD card not found. I don't use an SD card for storage on the device. Do I need to use one or can you offer any other advice? I've carefully gone through above installation steps 3 times.

What app are you using? I have not seen any issues with downloading yet. If you see 10.43Gb it sounds like your internal storage is formatted correctly. I haven't seen any download issues with Firefox and ES-File Explorer.
Unable to flash firmware - because unable to install Android USB driver on Windows 10
Thank you for the new firmware. However, the instructions to install the Android USB driver in smartphone flash tool (link below) the link below does not work.. There is a signature error and everyone (as per youtube video comments) is having same problem.

Main post updated with signed drivers. Please try it now.
Thank you @SaberShip!
The installation of Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 was successful after installing the signed Android USB driver!. System is stable and fast. Thank you again.
App issues:
1. Netflix app (not available on playstore, but at netflix web site) works online, but does not allow video downloads.
Netflix diagnostic error for download is OF.NA.4 -which probably means device does not meet security requirements. ? any workarounds?
// Amazon Prime video works, with offline video downloads as well. Google chrome works. Tried other apps as well.
Documentation issues (minor):
1. "- GAPPS Download: here (Select Arm, 7.1, and whatever size you want)" --> Google Apps Super package did not install since the device ran out of space (error 70). Google Apps "Nano" worked.
System issues:
1. Wifi still does not auto-reconnect after Wireless Access Point is rebooted, but given that this has happened with different ROMs I am concluding it is due to a hardware issue with this device (and not ROM specific).
// Skype camera issue fixed. Camera image is NO longer upside down.

Netflix app not working on ROM due to Widevine DRM
Great job on the ROM!! - it is fast and stable.
I have been investigating why the <latest> Netflix app with offline download capability does not work with Resurrection Remix 5.85 ROM.
I found that some other ROM has similar problem, and it was caused because Widevine DRM was not supported. Netfix (latest app and offline download) started working after Widevine DRM support was added to that ROM.
Is it possible to support Widevine DRM in this ROM?
Here is the quote from another ROM:
"Quote:

After some digging, I'm pretty sure the error is due to the fact that on, I think any Oreo rom available for bacon, Widevine Drm is not supported (as u can see in the screenshot below). I think it's connected to the files in the screenshot below, but I didn't manage to find a solution. I believe it must be implemented by someone directly in the rom code (I'm absolutely not an expert). I'm also sure it's not connected with root or anything else (the Netflix app is available in the play store for me).

SaberShip, thank you for all your work and caring about the A7600-F! Your instructions are clean and elegant. It's great to be able to install your ROM without root. It looks and performs great.
I installed your ROM a week ago. Unfortunately, I've spent much time since then trying to get NordVPN to work. It worked fine on the stock version of my tablet. Now, it connects to NordVPN servers, but fails to adopt the remote IP address (whatismyv6.com reports my ISP IP).
I've exhausted [email protected] I'd be grateful for any pointers you might have.
Hello,
so i will thank Sabership, too, for his new build. I went the way as most builds are normally flashed - reboot from AIM build into TWRP, did a factory reset, and flashed RR and a new GApps build. Everything went fine, i am just typing on it. The bug with WiFi not connecting automatically i am hoping will be gone, it was the only bug i found in AIM for me.
One question: the security patch date is of November 2017. Will there be an update (as asked in AIM, too)?
Regards

I believe VPN connectivity may have been one of the issues with the original ROM even before I ported it to the A7600F. Therefore, there isn't much I can do unfortunately.
If you absolutely need VPN, your options are to use Stock ROM or find a different ROM that has VPN working. Another possible workaround is to setup NordVPN on your router or whatever gateway is between you and the internet: https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1047409322/Setting-up-a-router-with-NordVPN.htm

I have witnessed wifi disconnection issues on every ROM I've ever ported/used for this device aside from Stock I wish there was more that I could do. As mentioned in the title and before, this ROM is ported from another device. What this means is that I don't have the source code and therefore cannot update things like Android security patch dates. If this were a ROM built from source, I would simply have to sync with updated RR sources to get the new patches and RR bugfixes/features. To do it with a port, I need to find a whole new ROM with the updated sources and then port the whole ROM over to this device again. That is just too much work.
As a side note, I had intended this to be the last ROM I ported for this device due to its age, however If there is enough demand and I can find one, maybe someday I will port a more updated Oreo ROM to this device. Good quality MT6582 Oreo ROMs built from source are still not really common.

Thanks for your answer. If only i could do something like that of my own... i have so much interests, i don't know if i could learn that in a usefull time!
By the way, why did you call it "old"? i'm using the Galaxy S2 build 2011, with LineageOS 16. I think this is an old device , like my Galaxy Tab 1 and 2.
But anyway, thanks for your work. After some time i'll write again about issues i found, if it will be helpful.
Regards
Thank you, SaberShip. It's been on my list to get a DD-WRT enabled router, so maybe now's the time.
I've had no problems with WiFi.
If you build an updated Oreo ROM, I volunteer to test it. I'm fond of my A7600-F.

What better ROM than Resurrection Remix to do the job! :good:
Instructions:
Follow carefully! This process involves going back to STOCK firmware FIRST! This is to ensure your Internal storage gets properly formatted.
SAVE YOUR PERSONAL DATA! (Some where other than your tablet) You will lose it when flashing stock firmware. Don't worry about the struggles of getting ROOT on stock firmware, I have expedited the process greatly.
STEP 1: Get back to stock firmware. THIS STEP ERASES EVERYTHING, so save your data!!! Don't skip this step.
- Get any stock firmware file from here and follow the tutorial also in this link!
- The SP-Flash tool and drivers are all conveniently included with the firmware download.
- Don't worry about taking the battery out when the tutorial says to.
- If you have issues with the driver provided in the download, try these. (Run dpinst.exe)
- Once completed boot into the new firmware just to ensure that you were successful. (Don't worry about going through initial setup we don't need it)
STEP 2: Install TWRP without root. You should now have a stock A7600-F Tablet, lets put TWRP back on.
- We will install TWRP with the same SP-Flash tool so that root is not required.
- Download the SP-Flashable TWRP image and scatter file from here.
- Follow the instructions in the tutorial linked in step 1 again but use the extracted TWRP scatter file you just downloaded instead of the stock firmware scatter file.
- You should only see "RECOVERY" listed in SP Flash Tool instead of all the stock partitions like last time
- Once complete unplug the USB and use Vol-UP and Power buttons to get into TWRP
STEP 3: Wiping Instructions. THIS IS IMPORTANT! You should have TWRP installed and running at this point.
- DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE! Doing so will cause the Corrupt SD-Card errors!
- Just don't do it! There is never any need to wipe internal storage on most devices.
- Go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe
- Select only: Dalvik/Art Cache, System, Cache, and Data
- Wipe it.
STEP 4: Installing RR 7.1.2. You should now have an A7600-F with the stock partitions restored, and no ROM installed, sitting in the TWRP main menu.
- ROM Download: here
- GAPPS Download: here (Select Arm, 7.1, and whatever size you want)
- Now simply flash the ROM ZIP followed by the Gapps ZIP.
Reboot and Enjoy!
Things I improved over previous ROM PORTS:
- Better Audio quality
- Smoother Substratum OMS Support
- Camera Fixes
- FM Radio (Headphones only)

Just tested, It works perfectly with my USB wireless Keyboard and mouse combo.
When I tried a USB flash drive it did not mount automatically, however "SDA" does appear in the /dev/block/ directory so you can likely mount the flash storage manually with some terminal commands. YMMV
USB OTG works with both my wired and wireless trackballs (Logitech).
I mount/unmount flash drives with StickMount and explore them with Total Commander.
excellent. Works very well
