Stock With Goodies =)
This is a stock based rom based on the QI5, QK3, QL9, RA6, and It is Pre-rooted with SuperSu, Heavy Debloat and some slight adds, this is just the basic start, Moded boot animations and removal of all carrier info that is not sprint, so non sprint users... well sorry, this is the sprint side of things.. if you want to flash this and you are non sprint, go ahead and do so, then after phone has fully booted one time, put phone in download mode and flash your carriers csc, please do not request support in this thread for porting to other carriers.
WHAT YOU NEED:
You must have already Rooted your device with SamFail, You also will need FlashFire and Busy-Box installed and some common sense!

Okay here lets get started, and oh wait..
And as always, I can not be held liable for the damage or malfunction of your device using these files, you proceed at your own risk and remove my liability by continuing to the downloads portion of this post!
STEPS:
Step 1: Insure Busybox is installed into system directly. I prefer /system/xbin
Step 2: Install FlashFire and grant it root permission
Step 3: Click the Little RED + button in the bottom right corner and choose Flash ZIP or OTA
Step 4: Navigate to where you have downloaded my rom and select it.
Step 5: Check the box next to ( Mount / System read / Write) then hit the check mark in top right corner
Step 5.5: If you are not already on my rom, you must choose WIPE and do a full wipe, this is deodexed and the old data needs removed, this also needs to be put at the top of the flash list to be done 1st just click and hold on the wipe and drag it to the top.
Select the following : Wipe System Data, 3rd Party apps, Dalvik Cache, Cache Parition.
Step 6: Hit the FLASH button at the bottom and hold on for the ride! If all goes well you should have installed TeamDevDigitel rooted stockish rom and enjoying yourself.

Status : Stable
BUGS / KNOWN ISSUES:
*Pop-up While being plugged into pc saying device can not be used, this is normal just dismiss and use as normal.
*Certain Apps do not work due to being rooted; SamsungPay, SHealth, SecureFolder and others are effected by this.
some apps now working with tima=0
*If you get stuck in setup wizard, please click back and go forward again, if it still wont proceed just reboot phone and it will make it through the setup. This happens randomly for setups it seems.
If you are having audio issues : go to /system/etc/mixer_paths_tavil.xml and change to mixer_paths_tavil.xml.bak2 and take the mixer_paths_tavil.xml.bak and remove the .bak off of it. This essentially turns off the dual speaker mod, but shouldn't need to be done, some apps just may not like dual speaker mod?
Removed This pre-built in feature on BRB4 due to many apps not supporting dual audio this way.

Changelog
Please pay attention to how files are labeled as this is to help insure you have chosen the correct firmware for your device. The U1 or U2 will be to determine if your device has been updated or not to the newer bootloader. This will forever lock your device to the newer revision bootloader U2 and you no longer can flash U1 roms or use their data from backups. Please insure you either update and flash U2 or if you are still on U1 and you bootloop and cant recover, restore using a u1 firmware or choose to flash the latest firmware.

Haha !!! 1st! Can't wait to give this a go. Thank you for your hard work! You rock!
Well ive narrowed down the camera to a issue with the updater script and the links/perms to the hardware for camera. Not sure where to start as the stock img and the eng img built very different scripts.. gonna have to play around some and see.
WOO!!! Glad to see you got it working before me!
I wanna go for a ride.. I'm buckling up!

Was thinking about flashing but first wanna confirm. There is currently 2 things that don't work, the flashlight and camera? Is that correct still? Because I use those 2 daily lol

Yes that's correct
Both are still not working. I'm still just in testing phase that it's flashing with flashfire and booting correctly for multiple people. Wiping data etc and it still works. Looking for fc's etc. I'm working on redoing the scripts in hope the cam and flash are just tied to the perm/metadata/symlinks auto generated by my tool

What happened? I'm thinking you would need to have selected wipe system and data and placed it at the top 1st because you are coming from a non deodexed Rom and i completely forgot about this step as I've been on deodexed myself for some time and it wouldn't effect me. If you want to give it another go that would be what would cause the issue.

Looking forward to downloading once uploaded, thanks for fixing the bugs
OP HAS BEEN UPDATED AND FRESH DL LINK IS AVAILABLE!
Make sure to review steps as they have changed, and i have attatched photos to op of the way flashfire should look.
Thanks so much for your hard work!
One question - I'm not rooted (yet); does flashing this (and hence being rooted) limit us to charging up to only 80%?
Thanks in advance!

Yes once rooted we are stuck at max 80% charge
Ok thanks - just got my note 8 on Saturday and I'm dying to root it. I'm just having a hard time accepting a 20% loss lol.
Hopefully the masterminds figure out a way to overcome that.

Computerfreek274's System Image
for the Verizon Droid Turbo
This image is based on the XT1254 Verizon 21.44.12 rooted stock image with native WiFi tether/hotspot enabled, and is meant to be flashed using MOFOROOT.
Features:
Keep your data! - You will not need to reinstall any applications or lose any data as this method only replaces the phone's system partition.
Stable! - I don't publish images without exhaustively testing them. If you have any issues to report, reply to this post and either myself or the community will rally to help fix the issue.
Much better battery life! - This image focuses on battery savings without compromising performance. Your phone will last much longer while running this system image.
Fast! - Breathe new life into your Droid Turbo, this image is lean, fast, and enhanced for performance. I draw from the well-documented tweaks of the community, including stuff like V6 Supercharger.
No bloat! - All bloat that is available on the Play Store has been removed. Extra files (like help videos and help audio files) have also been removed.
Optional adblocking! - Adblocking via AdAway that can be toggled on and off.
Optional ViPER4Android! - Increase the volume and the quality of audio output from the Droid Turbo by enabling VIPER4Android which comes bundled in this system image.
Enabled for XPOSED! - This system image has been enabled for the XPOSED framework as well as includes BusyBox.

Instructions:
Check your system version. Go to Settings -> System -> About Phone -> System version; make sure that you're on the system version 21.44.12.quark_verizon.verizon.en.US before starting. This is a requirement for using MOFOROOT. If you're not on this most recent version, download and install the Verizon system update by going to Settings-> System -> System updates -> Check for system updates.
Check your operating system. The MOFOROOT method can only currently be ran on Windows and Linux. If you are on OS X, you can set up a virtual machine using VirtualBox running the current (15.04) version of Ubuntu. This tutorial will help you get it set up. If this step applies to you, the rest of the steps need to be completed in your virtual machine, NOT OS X.
Download and install the drivers for your device. You have to make sure that your computer can recognize your phone first. Depending on your operating system, any of these links should be able to get you set up: Motorola, AndroMods, RootJunky.
Download the system image from this thread. Before you try to flash the system image, please cross reference the MD5 hash, or else you may brick your phone!
Ensure you can connect to your device via ADB and fastboot. Download and install Android Debug Bridge (ADB) on your operating system. It is included in the Android SDK. This is an awesome guide to installing fastboot - use it. Once both are installed, plug your phone in and open a command prompt. By either adding adb/fastboot to your path, or navigating to the downloaded directories, run adb devices to see if your computer recognizes your phone. Reboot the phone into bootloader mode by following these directions. Once you've connected your device to your computer while in this mode, try running fastboot devices from the terminal to make sure that your computer recognizes your phone while in this mode (this is the mode you will need to be in when using MOFOROOT).
Ensure that you have Python on your machine. MOFOROOT is written in Python, so Windows users will have to make sure that they have Python 2.7.9 downloaded and installed.
Download MOFOROOT. This system image is meant to be flashed using MOFOROOT. Ensure that you've paid for and downloaded the de-facto rooting method from their website. Please note that this method provides a utility that allows us to flash pre-rooted system images to our phone, but does not turn write protection off. Motorola/Verizon has locked down this device's bootloader and enabled write protection, so any changes made to the system partition outside of this method will be only temporary and disappear after reboot. Development on this phone may feel like we have to jump through so many hoops - that's because we do. You should be able to download and run mofoverify from their site, which will give you a link to be able to pay for and download the mofo utility.
FLASH THE IMAGE! After all of those steps, you can finally connect your phone to your computer in bootloader mode (checking to see that it's recognized using fastboot devices) and run mofo flash path_to_the_downloaded_system.img. This is the original XDA mofo instructions, read and follow them if you have any issues. If you're having problems with using MOFOROOT via VirtualBox[/URL on OS X (using [URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop"]Ubuntu as your guest OS), here's a thread where some issues were discussed. If mofo stops on you and doesn't make it to 100%, just press the up arrow and then enter to restart it. Do not plug your phone into a USB 3.0 port as this happens far more on USB 3.0. I have flashed multiple IMGs and some of them stopped and I had to restart it. So just give it time.
CLEAR THE CACHE BEFORE RESTARTING! After you have flashed the system image using MOFOROOT, you MUST wipe the cache before rebooting. You can follow these instructions if you don't know how to do it. Failing to wipe the cache may result in your phone not booting. You should still be able to get to the bootloader menu if you get caught in a bootloop, and clearing the cache should fix your issue.
Reboot and PROFIT! Congratulations! You're finished. The first phone reboot may take about 10 minutes. Do not freak out and just let it finish. The next steps are optional if you'd like to set up ad blocking, ViPER4Android, or XPOSED.
Setup ad-blocking. This system image has AdAway pre-installed (if it doesn't, you can download it). Open AdAway and go into Preferences and click on Target host file and set it to /data/data/hosts from the pop up menu. Go back and hit Download files and apply ad blocking. If Super User asks for permission, grant it. Also say yes to the system link on the first-time setup. Restart your phone. You should now not see most ads! You can disable this at any time by going into AdAway and pressing Disable ad blocking. If you would like to manage ad-blocking on a per-app basis, you can disable AdAway and use MinMinGuard for Xposed. Thank you @pjsockett for the tip.
Setup ViPER4Android. ViPER4Android (V4A) is pre-installed. Open the app and enable it and set it up. Do NOT check the box Force Enable V4A and run V4A in FX Compatible Mode. Without running in FX Compatible Mode, the Facebook app will not play audio on videos. PLEASE NOTE: Enabling V4A will negatively impact battery life.
Setup the XPOSED framework. Download and install the XPOSED framework installer. I have done all the hard work in this image to get the XPOSED framework to work without any extra steps. If XPOSED is not working for you, please follow the first few steps of this guide.
I do my best to support this, but we all have lives that demand our attention. Anyone is free to contribute to this project and discuss development or features right on this thread. The community behind this system image is pretty awesome. Big thanks to @savagebunny for giving me the drive, info, and support to keep working on V4A. Thanks also to @paintba11er89 for the AdAway suggestion and helping me organize this OP. Huge thanks to paintba11er89 for the help with a very clean OP he used his time to rewrite this post to help me and others so please thank him.
This is only the first step to THE NEXT BIG THING!
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK / RUIN YOUR PHONE IN ANY WAY.
BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS REQUIRED.
Help:
Read the instructions - There's a lot of great guidelines in there that will answer most questions that you have. If you have issues with Google Apps or Services stopping more than once after you've booted, refer to step 9 in the instructions to clear the phone's cache. Additionally, check out this video that may help with this issue. If you're still having issues, you may have to factory reset and format your data partition to start over clean. That's obviously not optimal, but that's the price that we pay for not having a fully unlocked bootloader.
Changelog:
1.5.5A All in one With AdAway system link, xposed, with or without V4A
Fixed GPU 2x faster benchmark for the GPU video.
Fixed the lag on launcher.
Fixed WiFi scan times. Part of the power saving.
Fixed and updated Build.prop
Removed some startup's apps.
I am removing 1.5.5 on OP and going to replace it with 1.5.5A as there was some bugs With the GPU. So please upgrade to 1.5.5A. Sorry I did not see the drop in 1.5.5 in the GPU speed.
Remember if you do not like adaway just do not set it up. Or if your doing an custom host file it place it in /data/data.
i will keep doing an None V4A for now till i find a way to fix the USB audio out. This is used for amps.
Custom paid ver builds will be updated soon and I will PM you all the links soon.

Is this different then the build on the other thread by Ekkoria because that one is working for me right now.
Does this have full root? Or is it the same as the initial release albeit with the hot spot tethering?
Many Thanks
There are those of us who appreciate the all time consuming work you put in for others.
Thanks again :good:

I used the stock rooted image from here This IMG is for users on Verizon with an unlimited data 29.99. All others with family share plan or other data plan on Verizon you already get hotspot as part of your plan.
Thanks for your work, hope to see more updates to this!
Thank you for this
Thank you for this, a super good start for the situation were in.
If possible could you incorporate a mixer_paths.xml for louder volumes and incorporate adaway? or an updated host file from adaway?
Seems to me one of those ad removal apps had an option in it to symlink a host file? think something like that would work if it were in the system apps dir, but updating to /data somewhere?
thanks again for all your hard work
PS - Remove that damned boot sound maybe?

I'm looking for some xposed modules, adaway, titanium backup and other perks of rooting.

I would like more but I have multiple phones I can use.
this gave me wifi tether. however whenever i try to connect to the hotspot it is saying Limited Connection, and I am unable to use.

Thank you for this, a super good start for the situation were in.
If possible could you incorporate a mixer_paths.xml for louder volumes and incorporate adaway? or an updated host file from adaway?
Seems to me one of those ad removal apps had an option in it to symlink a host file? think something like that would work if it were in the system apps dir, but updating to /data somewhere?
thanks again for all your hard work
PS - Remove that damned boot sound maybe?

Mine works just fine.
You need to turn your phone off and back on go to WiFi hotspot change ssid and password/key . then start it. You got something locked up with your hotspot if you can not change the settings.

Working fine I have tested it over and over on 2 phones. My guess is it is windows set the password on the phone longer under wifi hotspot settings and reboot windows. it is working i did not do anything to tether just a bypass. So that is on your side. if that don't work connect something other like an tablet or other laptop.

I tried on my tablet and a macbook and it didn't connect either. I'm not able to change the wifi name or password either.
If it matters I had previously installed the rootjunky image and then put your file over it?
Could that be why it isn't working?
I favorited this thread!

Sorry, I cannot. I don't have access to a Linux box ATM to build it into the img. the creator of this thread was to incorporate it into the img he's building for all of us to flash using mofo root.
If we had write off its as simple backing up the original /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml and dropping in the new one, then setting permissions and your done. But that's not our situation YET.

With Sunshine unlocking droid Turbo Bootloader I will be moving on to making ROM's not just an img. please see my Forum on XDA here and my Website Computerfreek.com Here for more info.
I will continue to do MOFO support for the next month or so as users make the switch.
Computerfreek274_Turbo_lollipop (SU4TL-44)
Also On my website Computerfreek.com Now has updated help and support how to setup stuff like adaway,Boot anamation, Dpi and more. Also I will be posting Pre-Released images there days be for there on XDA. There will also be images some custom images that will not ever be listed on here on XDA for I will not support them. So please check out the site it is still a work in progress but it is getting there. As of right now I did not get custom IMG listed and the newest ver is still 1.6 and it is listed below.
This Firmware upgrade to 5.1 SU4TL-44 from 4.4.4! VIA Mofo.
If you took the OTA 5.1 update you out of luck as you where told not to on here over and over. Go check out sunshine root maybe coming soon for locked 5.1 users.
If this software somehow kills your phone I am not to be held liable.
PLEASE BACKUP YOUR DATA 1st For the best speed and no bugs if you are coming from 4.4.4 for the 1st time I recommend that you backup your photos,music and other data. and when you get to step 3 wipe Data and cache. It is not a must but for me to give you support this is a must.
Thanks to @firstEncounter for his great post and images. Thank you @mattlgroff for his help and everyone who sent me links to the OTA and Full ver.

Flashing from KitKat to Lollipop
This is a nice well written guide by @Purpeltendire Thank you @Purpeltendire Thank you for this great guide.
If you are new or upgrading and need more help I updated help and info on my website also at computerfreek.com
Steps to flash from KitKat to Lollipop - This assumes that you're currently using a rooted KitKat image already, and have used mofo to get root.
BACK UP ANY DATA YOU DO NOT WISH TO LOSE.
YOU ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOST FILES OR DEVICE PROBLEMS.
Make sure you have a good hour or two set aside, at the minimum. It’s probably not a great idea to try this right before work or class.
Install mofo, ADB, and fastboot on your computer if you haven't already. On Windows, I like using this for ADB/fastboot.
Download the image of your choice.
Download 5.1_images.zip. Extract the files, and put them into the same directory as fastboot. Next, boot into your phone's bootloader (turn the phone on by holding power and volume down), and flash each file seperately using fastboot:[/FONT]
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase ddr
Now open mofo_gui.bat, and flash the system image you downloaded:
Code:
mofo flash Your_imagename_here.img
Once that finishes, you want to try to boot the phone. Select Boot to System from the bootloader and then go grab a snack - chances are, it will sit at the Motorola boot screen for some time. After about five minutes, press and hold power to turn the phone off.
Next, boot into the bootloader again and select Recovery. You will likely get a "Dead Android" screen with "No Command." To bypass this, hold power and tap volume up (if that method does not work after a few tries, hold volume up and press power).
Now that you're in recovery, you're wiping both data (factory reset) and cache. Wipe cache first - this may take a very long time (20-30 minutes), especially if you've never done it before. Wipe data/factory reset second. If you're feeling paranoid, wipe everything again.
From recovery, boot to the bootloader. From bootloader, boot to system. This first boot might take some time as well.
Assuming all went well, you should see a Lollipop setup screen within 10-15 minutes. Congratulations!
Remember that your device is now in “like new and improved” mode. You’ll need to restore your apps and settings from wherever you backed them up to, and you'll still need to get the APKs for Xposed and AdAway. Again, nobody else is responsible for any of your lost data.

This was stated in another thread. I don't know if you heard, but I'm holding on that there's still hope. Is there still a possibility to be able to make a rooted image? I'm really hoping that we'll be able to have root with lollipop, but at the same time, I don't want you to put in all this time and effort for nothing.

I am far from the skill level of any rom creator but every google guide I've found seems to indicate root (even temporary root) is required to do a system dump. Is temporary root possible on the lolipop update? If theres another way, please post a guide @computerfreek274 so one of the people who has updated is able to easily help us out and get the ball rolling.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you simply extract the system.img from the OTA zip using this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497883

If you Google it there was a way to do it without root. I do not care if it is a system.img dump like that. If you can just copy the system folder to your sd card i do not think you will need root for that use es file man and send it my way that will be great.
Want to make sure so if you have root via MOFRO then you should wait and not install the OTA and wait for new System Image from the Freek!!!

Gotcha. Well unless someone has had luck with Kingroot (early reports said that it didn't work), I don't think that will be possible.
EDIT: Nevermind. It's totally possible. I'll try to track down someone who can get it to you.

This twrp does not decrypt htc encryption still.
while using the decrypted boot.img it can access all features
backup/restore etc.
using on a encrypted storage will not work still. atleast until captain throwback comes back with the correct mods needed.
New link is up, located a few issues and removed them.
Boot.img was being pre-rooted and was causing a hang, no longer a issue.
The setup wizard has been removed, the default homescreen was cleaned, almost all bs apps are gone, ill update with a newer version here soon.
Just need to flash the su zip after first boot, the fingerprint and service issues shouldnt be present in this build anymore.
old system size was well over 12gb. Now it's at a healthy 8gb debloated.. What a difference.
delete please
Is hot-spot unlocked?
Revived for any Htc bolt users out there, ill update some good screenshots here in a few!!

a lot of it has to do with the design of the phone being its metal. Unfortunately its not something im able to deture much. You could reduce temps some by under-clocking the processor or reducing the amount of use the processor is going through, kernel auditor or similar apps give you the ability to scale back the cpu, but you will take a performance hit doing so. A case at least removes some of the heat transfer to your hands but inst much of a "fix"

During the last few months I have been testing several Nougat rom/kernel/modem/su combinations for the hlte N9005 international.
I created this thread to share my setup, hoping it will help others to save the many hours of research, trial, error and frustration I had before reaching the jackpot.
I have 3 hlte phones at my disposal, two myself and one my wife. All three are running trouble free.
By using my setup you will get:
Absolutely no freezes, reboots or FCs
Stable root and Safetynet checks ok
GPS fast and stable fix - average 5 seconds worst 20 seconds
Low battery drain (of course actual drain depends heavily on your apps and usage)
Everything works (AFAIK - you tell me what does not)
Keep in mind my main goal is to provide a stable setup. I will do my best to update this thread regularly, but it is very unlikely I will be using the very latest builds available, mainly because before I adopt a new build it must be thoroughly tested.
If you're interested head to the guide in Post #2
Why Resurrection Remix?
RR has, IMHO, the best combination of features and stability. The RR team has been around for a long time without the ups and downs of other roms. For the Note 3 we are in a very fortunate time, with an official build and many unofficial builds to choose from.
Since RR is based on LineageOS, it is available for most devices. It is very likely when we finally retire our Note 3 and move to another flagship, RR will be there for it.
Why Not Oreo?
Well, thread title says it all.
Credits and Thanks:
@vidwhal for the current RR build
@gj86 for Synergy kernel
@Jairus980 for Xenial kernel
@Hereiwas and @jcadduono for modems and bootloaders

Rock Stable Setup
Using Resurrection Remix
Revision 11 - 11-Mar-2018
Phase 1 - Prepare for install
Here I am assuming you have a Windows PC. If not you will need to use google search to adapt my instructions to your available OS/hardware. The PC is only required for this phase.
1 - Samsung USB Driver:
Make sure you have the Samsung USB driver installed in your Windows PC.
If not download and install the latest driver:
- SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.65.0.exe
2 - Odin:
If you do not have Odin, get it here, unpack to any folder and create a shortcut pointing to Odin3 v3.09.exe.
There are newer versions of Odin, but they may have issues with our Note 3. Odin v3.09 is the one to use.
3 - TWRP
New to TWRP? Read this guide: TWRP: the complete guide to using Recovery on Android.
If you do not already have it, install TWRP 3.2.1-0. Download it from https://dl.twrp.me/hlte. More info here.
If you no not have TWRP installed download the .tar file and flash with Odin.
If you have an older version download the .img file and use your current TWRP to flash the image into recovery partition.
4 - Update Bootloader and Modem:
You have to install latest Nordic Countries Bootloader and Modem. I have prepared a "tar.md5" with both.
And yes, modem is not country or region dependent. Rest assured Nordic will work no matter where you are.
Get it from here: N9005_Nordic_XXUGPQB1-Modem_XXSGBQD1-Bootloader.tar.md5
Updating bootloader and modem is a must!
If you don't you may get the "SIM Card not detected" error and GPS fix will be slow or not work at all.
There are many sure ways to flash modem and bootloader so that they "stick". What always works for me is:
- Restart into Recovery (TWRP)
- Select Reboot->Power off
- Turn on directly into download mode by holding Down Arrow+Home+Power at the same time
- Connect phone to PC
- Flash with Odin using the AP slot
Now you should check if update was successful. The best way is to install the app Phone INFO, run it and select the Firmware tab. The correct Bootloader and Baseband (modem) above should be displayed. There is a screenshot in first post.
If the update did not work repeat the steps carefully until it does. You may, as a last resort, after powering off remove the battery, wait for about 30 seconds, reinsert the battery and then turn on directly into download mode.
Thanks to @Hereiwas for the files I have used in previous setups. Check out in his thread Bootloader and Baseband for SM-N9005.
If you need more info on flashing modems and bootloaders also take a look at @jcadduono thread [Direct Download] Latest Bootloaders & Modems.
PHASE 2 - Download the necessary installation files
1 - Resurrection Remix Nougat rom - thanks @vidwhal:
Download from here: RR-N-v5.8.5-20180101-hlte-Official-vidwhal.zip.
Please note that I am not the rom builder or developer. All credits go to @vidwhal and the RR Team.
This is the rom thread: [ROM][HLTE][UNOFFICIAL][OMS]Resurrection Remix N.
Please note this build may not be the latest available. The goal here is to have a stable rom that you will be able to use as a daily driver with no issues for a long time. Only after a lot of testing a new build makes into my setup.
I modified the zip to remove Magisk. This will make it easier to use newer or beta Magisk builds if necessary in the future. Remember Safetynet is a cat and mouse game and changes happen fast.
Special thanks to @tarkzim, who produced the RR builds used in earlier setups. He did a fantastic job of producing a very stable build without a Note 3 device for tests. His builds led me to create this thread.
2 - Magisk v16.0 Official - thanks @topjohnwu):
Magisk Installer: Magisk-v16.0.zip
Magisk Manager: MagiskManager-v5.6.1.apk (optional - you might need it in the future)
Magisk Uninstaller: Magisk-uninstaller-20180222.zip (optional - you might need it in the future)
if you decide to use newer builds do it at your own risk. I strongly recommend to keep these.
3 - Gapps:
Open Gapps Pico: open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180311.zip
Not much to say here. Open GApps FTW.
Again the above build is the one I tested. Use this for a failproof installation, but feel free to use a newer build. Usually it will not be a problem.
I prefer Pico Gapps so I have the bare minimum as system apps. And I live by the KISS Principle. All other gapps I need are installed as user apps so I am allowed to use Titanium Backup to backup/restore them with data.
If you would rather use another Gapps package just pick the one you want. All packages should work but the Aroma. Aroma does not work in TWRP 3.
4 - Xenial Kernel - thanks @Jairus980:
Xenial Kernel: [Hlte][Xenial-b26x][02.01.18][N7.1-GSM].zip
Kernel thread: [Kernel][Xenial][Hlte].
With Xenial you have some fixes like the correct charging current in lock screen and working Gravity, Linear acceleration and Orientation sensors. Of course there is a lot more under the hood. If you plan to do some kernel tweaking Xenial offers more options.
If you do flash Xenial kernel do not report any bugs in RR thread. To report a bug you must first go back to stock kernel by dirty flashing RR and Magisk. If you are still able to reproduce the bug then you may post it in RR thread.
Even if there is a newer kernel release, you should keep using the build I posted here to have my tested stable setup.
Special thanks to @gj86 for his Synergy Kernel, used in my previous setup. It is also a great option.
5 - GPS Fix:
In this setup there is no need for a GPS fix. GPS is fast and rock stable as it should always have been.
But you really must update your modem to my recommend Nordic QB1 or GPS will be slow or not work at all.
Do not worry about your current location. The modem will work not matter where you are.
Latest RR builds somehow made GPS fix slower. I checked the gps.conf file and it is exactly the same as in previous builds.
I have my own optimized gps.conf, prepared originally for Marshmallow CM13, with a few more adjustments for Nougat.
After installing my gps.conf in latest RR build, gps fix is back to normal, taking only a few seconds.
I prepared a flashable zip to install my gps.conf. It saves existing gps.conf and put mine in its place.
Download it from here: Fix-GPS-for-hlte-la14.1-based-roms-v1.zip.
PHASE 3 - Backup!!
Now it is time to make backups of your current setup.
Use TWRP to make a nandroid backup. You will need it if something goes wrong. If you are paranoid like me make two and save them on your PC hard drive.
If you use Titanium make also a Titanium full backup. Remember that you should never restore system apps or settings. Use Titanium only to restore user apps and xml backups of wifi passwords, call log and sms messages.
The steps to install the new ROM will not erase your internal storage, but why not make a backup of everything to your PC or an OTG USB Drive.
PHASE 4: Install
- Make sure you have updated TWRP and your bootloader and modem as instructed in phase 1
- Make sure you have all files downloaded from phase 2 in your phone - preferably in external sdcard
- Make sure you have backups!!
- Reboot into Recovery (TWRP)
- Use advanced wipe to wipe System, Data and Cache
- Flash RR-N-v5.8.5-20180101-hlte-Official-vidwhal.zip
- DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING
- Reboot System (be patient - it will take a while, around 3-4 minutes)
- Pick your preferred launcher
- Check Settings->Date & Time and make sure it is ok
- Reboot into Recovery (TWRP)
- Flash [Hlte][Xenial-b26x][02.01.18][N7.1-GSM].zip
- Flash Magisk-v16.0.zip
- Flash open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180311.zip (or the one you prefer)
- DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING
- Reboot System (this time it will be faster)
- Go to Settings->Accounts and add your google account
- Customize your other settings
- Run Magisk Manager and check if SafetyNet passes
- If not disable/reenable "Magisk Hide" option in Magisk Manager Settings and try again
- Restore/install apps/data
- PROFIT!

wow, nice to see that someone using and "sharing" my builds
but a little tip for you, maybe you can ask me first before you post something are modified from me, no offense and i saw that includes my name on it.
just remind you and i think i will keep building this when i'm free, anyway, thank you for posing this. all good.
EDIT: also i think there is no need for removing magisk separately, it's fine for flashing newer magisk over the older one.

Sorry, you are absolutely right.
Thanks for being cool with it.
The main point in changing the rom zip is removing the magisk manager system app. It is a little tricky for noobs to remove the system app to be able to install the v5 beta Magisk Manager.
And thanks again for making your fantastic RR build available.
Thank's for your work. I installed all, but then I had a problem. When I try to open settings/apps, it crashes everytime....

This does not happen in my phones.
In my work phone I have 600+ apps installed. It takes a while to open but no crashes.
If you post a logcat I may be able to help.
I reinstalled everything, and before made a full wipe, also of the internal storage. And the problem was no more present! Wow! And thank you again...
I checked AFH and have 30+ downloads of installation files.
Any more success or failure cases? Please let me know.
This might be a silly question: You wrote I should download the latest NORDIC COUNTRY Bootloader and Modem.
Is this also correct if im not living in an other region or should I download the one from my Country? Thanks.

AFAIK it should work for you no matter where you are.
I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil and use it.
If it does not work for you just flash another one.
I tried the Nordic ones and everything seems to work. Not a killer but would be great: is there a way to get SPen functions inclidung Air Command? Thanks for the help.

To use Sammy Spen apps/features you need a Touchwiz based stock rom.
There are some apps with similar features for AOSP roms.
Many users say the best is SPenCommand developed by @emandt. It is paid but users say that the app is well worth the price.
Check the SPenCommand Google+ Comunity.
Great post. I don't see google assistant working, any clue?

I installed SPenCommand but the App doesn't open. When clicking the Icon nothing happens. Anyone knows about this Problem or knows another app for this?
Beside that everything (incl. Batterylife) seems great on this first day of testing.
I have followed your step to instal, wipe dalvik/art, system, data & chache. Flash ROM then reboot.
I got 'Could not do normal boot'.
Enter TWRP again and instal synergy kernel and reboot, I still got 'Could not do normal boot'.

I have never used SPenCommand myself. Just read good things about it many times in other threads. Try to search and get help from people who are using it.
You may also check these apps: Note Buddy (S Pen Helper) and CM S Pen Add-on(ROOT).
And this guide on them: The Ultimate S Pen Customization Tool for Your Galaxy Note 3.
But be advised that I have no experience using these apps. Just found them using google.

Sorry I can not be of help here. I only have the hlte N9005 international Note 3.
Maybe you could replace Synergy RC9 by a kernel that you are sure works with your N900S.

Thank you for fast response. I will try other kernel.
25.04.18 .. just a quick warning for newcomers !! YES Oreo is out there to try via OTA
BUT use the U2CRC7 or U2CRC8 these will be MUCH safer
(using U3CRD1 , or U3CRD4 you need to be REALLY careful, as you are updating the bootloader too (from v2, to v3)
which if you then get into a bootloop for whatever reason, you cannot use ODIN to get out of it as they are all bootloader v2 .. and thus you will be stuck untill one becomes available ! )
###
Ok first public release of a S7active Rom Modder ....
(this version is for ROOT only and was adapted from this Ufirm )
### Download links, for people who dont wanna read !
My Mega Folder
which has Stock Odin files PI2 andQD4, also a OTA zip folder with (numbered) files up to newest QL6 (20.01.18)
eng_boot files to flash in odin for root enabling,
and Rooting scripts ..
Newest Link to my Rom Modder, UFirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3f.zip
you can also use this Link to a Russian download site that also keeps updated with all of the above too (with unnumbered OTA update files that gets confusing)...
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/
And this link is to the official AT&T site,
that lists the most recent baseband version release, and when it was released (so this will also be upto date, even when this post isnt!)
### THIS Tutorial gives you ....
Fresh Stock Nougat (either upgrade or degrade or start again to V6/v7)
Root (with governor select, fingerprint fix, busy box installer)
BOOT Animation select; Samsung,Pixel,NoNaMe,Echoe + Sund on/off selectable to
Advert blocker installer; Adaway (with an app), or opensource list
S8 App installs; all selectable; camera, browser, launcher, fonts, clock/calendar SHealth, Bixby etc etc
Google Apps; Pixel launcher, dialer, camera, clock, calender etc etc
Dual speaker mods
Custom Mods/apps; XDA, Hometouch, Viper4Android, Solid Explorer, Nova Launcher,Cerberus, smartswitch, Torch toggler (these are all Play-Store versions, just selectable to embed within Rom (as systemApp))
and then a Debloater; a completely manual option, or a network debloat only (including bookmarks contacts etc), or a simpler BS level, or a 'playstore' style strip of apps leaving you with bare essentials
Works on ALL Nougat versions with Root, via Flashfire.....
but works best following steps below to start from a fresh stock odin flash (so you can start from any level then)
Of course all the normal caveats, do a backup, make sure phones charged up... etc etc etc
### So If you are on Marshmallow(Android v6), this Upgrades to Nougat(Android v7) OR if you just want to start fresh
Step 1. - Use Odin PrinceComsyModified and load up all 4 files from this complete G891AUCS2BQD4_7.0_all Nougat QD4 package
can only flash when in download mode (thats from phone switched off, then hold home+volume then hold power)
After thats finished, phone reboots to the setup wizard thingy, your now back to fresh stock Nougat... (no real need to go through this setup wizard yet really)
Step1a. - If you want to get up-to-date to a Higher Firmware NOW is the time, via OTA zips, in the standard recovery QD4-QF2, then QF2-QG1 at present ...
OTA-UPDATE folder
Step1b. - Get those updates on the SDcard, boot into standard recovery (thats with phone powered down, press and volume up+Home, then the power button)
Step1c. - Select update from zip/sdcard (volume butons to scroll, power button to select)
Step1d. - wait for it to finish, it DOES take ages, once it has, start the next one etc etc ...
### So once on Nougat get root with
Step 2. - G891A_7.0_ENG_ROOT , flash in Odin (in the AP placement) when in download mode (fire up download mode with, phone switched off, home+volume then hold power)
that gives you root availability.
Step3. - Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2, once rebooted, and now back at the setup wizard thingy,
Run root.bat from this zip and follow on screen prompts (will erase fingerprint patterns if you select it!), select CPU governor you want
Ondemand is the prefered for overall performance, and Conservative for best battery life..... this will follow on and Install flashfire too
So that gives you fresh Nougat, and Root. stop here if thats all your after !
### or if you are already Rooted and in Nougat
Step4. - Download my Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3 and transfer to the sdcard of ya s7active *** New version 01.08.17 Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3f
Step5. - Open up Flashfire (install from playstore (its by chainfire) if your starting from this step) it checks root (go back to step 3 if it fails) partitions etc etc then agree with all the normal stuff ..
select the 'plus' icon bottom right, choose 'flash zip or ota', and select Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V2 that you copied over in step4
you dont need to select anything on this pain..
make sure EverRoot is disabled .. (just click it and untick it if it is)
scroll down a bit i expect, and hit the big FLASH button ! ...
after a couple minutes of black, and scrolling stuff, and the red flashfire banner, you are set at Aroma...
Step6. - now in 'Aroma follow the onscreen prompts
you can select no wipe, no reroot, no bootanimations mod, no ads, no s8 mods, no google mods, no speaker mod, no custom mods, and no debloat... and nothing with change ...
or can select selectivly... and have stripped out, google apps, and pixel launcher, with lots of new apps, viper, etc etc ...
so its very option friendly from here
but if your going to elect s8 mods, or the playstore mods, then a wipe is best (of you will have to select to clear cache/data on the apps one back up and running to prevent closes)
Step7. - Come back here and thanks us all and let us know of any improvements or bugs
this of course doesnt trip knox, and all buttons work, as not much system files are touched really ...
PLEASE let me know how you get on ! ....
and A BIG Thanks to jrkruse, CVertigo1, FtaWolf, Arteush, echeo rom team for the mods, NoNaMe team, ViPer4A team
and a especially big thanks to activefan01 as with out him we STILL wouldnt have root !!!
and the many many many other people on this forum who post so i can trawl through and learn and the ones ive hassled.
### FAQ
Q: Do i need to do a wipe to try this ?
A: no, you dont NEED to wipe, or to odin, or to select AP in flashfire to try it.. Just be careful what you select, and BACKUP 1st like you are going to wipe !....
But wiping is a good way to get a real clean stripped out stock look, if you re-install fresh with Odin first and wipe
Q: Do i need to Root after running this ?
A: No, you can select "No change" , and it will keep its root status from Step3 Root procedure,
this option will install busybox, as Viper4A needs it, also adds improvements to device.prop too(config.tima) and is there so you can change the CPU governor or redo Fingerprint fix again (Its from the 2.82 install)
and for IF we ever get this working via stock boot.img !
Q: Can i run this multiple times then to swop things around, or try/add different Mods out ?
A: Yes, Yes you can... if you wanna JUST run this again to install, Nova launcher then select the right options, and thats ALL this will do
hell select the right options and this script does nothing !
Q: So could i use this to JUST debloat my phone ?
A: Yes select the right option, and it will only do a network debloat, and install nothing
Q: Will this trip KNOX ?
A: No
Q: Is the G891A_7.0_ENG_ROOT file different to the one already released ..
A: No its the same, just put it on here to keep it all together
Q: Is the Root Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2 file different to the one already released
A: No its the newest one ATM, just put it on here to keep it all together (i did change the exit to a pause at the end so you can review if it worked )
Q: Do i have to use the Ufirm zip thingy to keep root ?
A: No this just a Rom modder, so it adds, and takes stuff away that you select onscreen
Q: can i just keep stock ?
A: Yes Step1 will give you JUST a clean stock nougat, NO mods nothing...
Q: Can i use OTA zips to update this later?
A: Not in the normal/stock over-the-air via AT&T network method no, as the eng_root, and system file are detectable, and it will error out (but wont break anything)
A2: Also not via the 'stock' recovery either, as of above, you using the eng_root, which doesnt support DM-Verity so it doesnt let you use SDcard or ADB (but again wont break anything trying)
A3: what about via flashfire ? Nope, also fails due to miss matches of files detected via OTA script..
Q: Can i use the OTA files to update to the newest ROM version first ?
A: Yes course, start with newest Odin flash (QD4 at the mo) then use the OTA increment update files, then load the Ufirm modder if you want, or not your choice !
Q: Can i install OTA updates WITHOUT causing the update to wipe everything everytime !?
A: Yes you can, you HAVE to watch it update and STOP the update script procedure when you see "script succeeded: result was [/system]" and then Immediately press and hold Power + Home + VolUp + VolDown.
as found/posted by Mike_1996 here on this clicky link
Q: Can we not just install TWRP or other recovery and use that ?
A: No the bootloader is locked, and we cannot change recovery at all. (not even the standard S7 has this either (well only the japan version !))
Q: Well ive used this and ROOT and it stuppidly slow
A:Yes it can be a little slower, especially at first, it can settle, but the ROOT method we have is to use the engineering files, and they effect speed...
you can read through this thread, as there are 'some' tips, but ultimately, yes it will be slower at times !

Very excited to see that the thread is started!!
Again, great job dude!
Any big things noticed since 24 hours with BS debloat with all S8 tweaks and the stock CSC which is powerful to delete all AT&T smudges... but I will still try a CSC of european S7 since I live there. (For the network preference?)
Only big battery draining with the engineering kernel... With all power save tweaks seen in the root thread.
I think the stock kernel portability should be a priority.
Perhaps an option to disable the startup sound, by deleting /system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg.bak
And modifying ro.config.tima to 0 in build.prop to fix shealth since it have to be deleted and reinstall to work.
If I'm not mistaken..! This is the way I use to make it working..
Oh. Great job.
do You get screenshot rom ?

-what things does the Euro CSC have thats beneficial ? could incorparate it, plus im in Europe too !
-Stock portability im looking into to, have finally worked out how they do it (managed to get reply from jrkruse)
-need to look into it more to see if its possible on the active, as its BL is v2, and the standard s7 is v4
but its to do with the mix match of gsm and cdma ... so Bootloader section is invovled, so would be risky !
-Will se what i can impliment for bootup sound, and will sort out the build.prop ...

Like I expected use a CSC from European S7 works perfectly and add features in network, location and probably others nice things!
There is an aroma with lot of CSC for S7 in the forum, If it moded to allow a flash into S7 Active, it will works. I will contact the author.
Ok! I contact some people too for information about the tweaks to keep stock kernel.. we will see!

do you have a link to forum of the CSC for S7 ? ...will take a read...
an the main place that explained how to keep the stock kernel is here....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/development/rom-t3569416/page15
and he says later on... "It's not the boot.img it's the dm verity process of the cdma firmware when gsm firmware is flashed over the top of cdma firmware. That's why in every case you have to start on cdma firmware it doesn't have to be Verizon"
so my understanding would be .. we would need to flash a, Verizon NON-HLOS.bin BL with the pit file ? (so thats the cdma firmware) which is risky ! as this may brick our device due to missmatch bootloader etc !?
Root, then run my mod, then once all the CSC, symlinks etc etc are back in place, flash back our own AT&T NON-HLOS.bin(the GSM) ....
but need to gather those NON-HLOS.bin's from the correct versions, mainly a AT&T one, and compare the actives to a standard G930A, IF they the same, then we MIGHT have a chance !?

Have you tried selinux mod changer to make the drivers stick? Had to use it on my old HTC 626s.(v4a)
Hi, i flashed the s8 dual speakers mod and it works great! Music, ringtones, all work with dual speakers. But I noticed in some games like Mobile Legends none of the speakers work. I also read the original thread on the last page that some users also reported that the dual speakers mod doesnt work in some games. Do u have the original mixer_paths_tasha.xml file so that i could restore it back to single speaker please?
I just hardbricked my S7 Active by trying to reinstall the stock kernel....
It doesnt start, doesnt want go in download mode or anything... while I havent touch to FBL SBL so logically it should be able to go in download mode but it doesnt want.
I try JIG USB but it doesnt help since battery need to be removed...
If anyone have another idea?
Be more carefull than me and don't flash anything... But I still think that it is possible to keep stock kernel after modding.
I will use the guarantee. So I can't help for few weeks...
If someone wants to try, follow the tutorial, apply all mod you want and finaly just flashing the stock kernel from flashfire (only original boot.img in a tar file) with selecting recovery mode reboot. It will show an error, after that select mount system/ then wipe cache and reboot.
See you soon!
ouch ... its pretty hard to hard brick them, using stock stuff...
ive been messing around with lots of messed around boot.img initially and i never bricked it, LOTS of blue screens, and warnings !
what was battery charge at ?? as they dont seem to charge when in bootloader/recovery
so if it gets into bootloops and fall asleep say and dont notice, you may get stuck ...
i was VERY close to doing this... once i woke, realised and reflashed something so it boots, i was at 2% !!! i started at 80%ish
so be cateful bootloops drain it quicker, and can make phone get real hot, especially when ya fall asleep at ya desk as coding all night !
i dont see how flashing stock boot.img would brick it too,
unless it didnt flash properly ? as it checks image for checksums/hacks before commiting it to memory..
so worst would be boot loops...
only way to brick i would of thought is mess around with the BL section in odin.... as bootloaders can bugger it !
maybe leave it on charger over night, and then try get into bootloader ??

I could be wrong but to me it sounds like he applied mods and then tried to return to stock BL; obviously that isn't going to work but I'm very surprised that you can't just reflash?

indeed, would just result in boot loops ...
on a different note, now uploading new version 2.1
Fixed viper4android, NoNaMeMod, and added return to single speaker mode, bootanimation sound select, plus redone the manual debloat section so its more suited to our actives ...
also looked into csc, and its gonna be better if you just run a dedicated CSC swopper .. like the one here

CSC swapper is ok to run via Flashfire?
I thought you had to have TWRP.
Downloading 2.1 now, very excited. You've achieved a great deal here, Miniminus and should be very proud of your efforts.
I'm super pleased to have root + a few goodies on Android 7.0
Have to say even with Eng kernel, 7.0 rooted is way smoother and less buggy than root on 6.0 (especially with all your tweaks applied). But, I am still missing the battery life I was able to achieve in 6.0 Root with a few xposed modules and deep hacks configured. Under 6.0 I managed to get it to the point I would lose about 2% battery overnight. Under 7.0 I lose about 20% per night no matter what I do.
Still, battery life is decent compared to all my other devices and the dual speaker mod + viperx etc absolutely kicks arse.
Bluetooth is broken for some reason on version 2.1. Admittedly I did not check this on 2.0, but in current release applied with full wipe + all S8 cmods + heavy debloat it simply does not turn on.
Also, wifi keeps losing my settings as it did with the original root process. I can't remember how to fix this but I know it can be done.
I'm having the same issue after flashing v2.1 . Everytime i restart my phone, the wifi settings get reset. I have to manually key in my wifi password again. Bluetooth doesn't work when I tap the icon, Device maintenance is missing from settings, and the blue light filter is also missing..

Thankyou have spent way to long on it, and i was only trying to get the GearVR going on it, of which i STILL cannot do, think its locked via kernel
csc 'should' work ok in flashfire, althou messing with csc is risky as it messes with efs partition ...
20% overnight is pants ! im defo getting over that, but i havent had simcard in me phone for a bit ...
whats it saying the most drain is in battery usage ?

hmmm which s8 mods you got selected ? as bluelight and wifi and device maintenance are ok here ... so the script is ok, must be one of the modules, and im gonna guess at a s8 one ! ..
but can confirm my bluetooth isnt working either, not noticed before .. will have to try pin it down to an action thats been carried out will have to go one by one !!!!
so clean install, and select nothing .. see if anything breaks etc etc
device manager i think gets messed with with the s8 browser ..
im out today so will look tonight ..
Hmm i didnt install any s8 mods as the system UI crashed the first time i tried the s8 mods. But my firmware before i flashed ufirm is qf2 june patch.. and i chose manual debloating including AT&T apps, ANT apps, and most of the samsung bloatware
Is there any log information that we can provide to try and track this ***** down?
Cheers
