[7th GENERATION] The bootloader version and look before downgrading! - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General

PLEASE UPLOAD META-INF FOLDERS FROM YOUR UPDATE.BIN S AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. TO RETRIEVE IT, USE A STANDARD UNZIPPER ON THE UPDATE BIN. THANKS!
Hi, The purpose of this thread is to provide information about a firmware, whether it is downgradeable or not.
DISCLAIMER: This thread is still subject to be changed, and still contains quite a few versions. If you think I broke your device, which has a good possibility to happen when downgrading, you get to keep the both pieces.
Fire HD 10 (2017):
5.6.1.0 - Downgradeable to 5.6.0.1, 0% (LK × PL ? TEE ?)
Fire HD 8 (2017):
5.6.1.0 - Downgradeable to 5.6.0.1, 99% (LK ✓ PL ✓ TEE ✓, no successful reports)
5.6.0.1 - Downgradeable to 5.6.0.0, 90% (Unchecked, two reports)
5.6.0.0 - Downgradeable to 5.4.0.1, 5% (5 brick reports)
5.4.0.1 - Downgradeable to 5.4.0.0 0% (More than 20 brick reports)
Fire HD 7 (2017):
ANTI-ROLLBACK NOT IMPLEMENTED! :good:
Thanks, and good luck downgrading!

I have a question about your post. (I have a Fire HD 8 w/5.6.1.0). Are you saying that the 8 has a success rate of 75% to downgrade from 5.6.1.0 to 5.6.0.1? And a 90% chance to downgrade from 5.6.0.1 to 5.6.0.0? If so, would it be theoretically possible to downgrade from 5.6.1.0 to 5.6.0.1 and then downgrade from 5.6.0.1 to 5.6.0.0? Or maybe go from 5.6.1.0 directly to 5.6.0.0?
Also, what does the LK, PL, and TEE mean? Thanks.

LK, PL and TEE are checked by ANTI-ROLLBACK. About your question, I told 75% because LK versions match. Maybe TEE doesn't match but it's a very rare case. I can say for sure when I get back to my PC.

Yes, you should be able to downgrade to 5.6.0.1 from 5.6.1.0, :good: LK, PL and TEE all good.

Is there a 5% chance to downgrade to 5.4.0.1 and no chance to 5.4.0.0? What is the difference in 5.6.0.0? Can we get root in that version? I read the thread to uninstall the system app but it doesn't work in 5.6.0.0. How about 5.4.0.1?

My HD 10 came with 5.4.1.0 originally. It updated to 5.6.0.1. Would I still be able to downgrade?
Also we have a Mediatek SoC correct? I was browsing Github and came across a TWRP build amongest other things, for the same SoC. It seems the Amazon Fire TV has the same SoC. Just thought it would be a more interesting read for some. This post is interesting because it has a scatter file for the MT8173. Apologies if no use.

It can be extremely useful, if we somehow trigger the meta mode of the SoC. But, it's not very useful for HD 10, but can be quite easily ported to MT8163, HD 8. So, we just have to find the secret of meta mode.

I'm not sure about the HD 10. I didn't manage to find any older firmware, I have to find them for validating the versions.

Much of the downgrades here doesn't have practical purposes.... yet. You can uninstall system apps only in 5.4.0.0, and you can't get root on any version.

I want to reflash an older version of firmware so I can register to amazon and see what devo mode does with OTA enabled. I don't want to get stuck on a new, unknown version of FireOS while I am experimenting.

Meta mode can be used with SP Flash Tool to flash anything to any partition, leading to a root for HD 8.

Because we can flash with FlashFire and root.

For Fire HD 8, which OS allows you to Disable system apps?
5.4.0 allows uninstallation, that I know.

Right, 5.4.0.0 and before allows to uninstall.
It's not possible to "disable", it requires root, but 5.4.0.0 or before allows hiding, which is very similar to disable.

[Captured OTA]Nougat OTA for Moto G4 Plus - XT1643 India

Hi All - I have managed to capture the OTA Zip file for MotoG4 Plus India edition (XT1643)
I have been running in this version for last two days and haven't faced any issues.
Guess Moto/ Lenovo has done a good job here.

I captured thisfrom the OTA update that was pushed to my phone. Not sure of other files out there
I am not putting SOAK on my phone, sorry.
The previous SOAK (name identical, larger size) was reporting a lower build number:
It's just curious that it has the same filename even if is obviously a different file.
Simple question: has anyone sideloaded it over soak test NPJ 25.75-2?
Coz I don't wanna downgrade right now. So is it ok if I side load it over soak?
Not working.
E3005: "/modem/image/modem.b00" has unexpected contents.
Status 7.
FIXED: I messed up with older modem images

It will works only for MPJ24.139-63 and MPJ24.139-63, so you have to downgrade if you're on previous soak.

@vache - Do you know the numbering system of the moto OTA? Is this another soak or the real deal? Why the file is called the same as previous soak?

So, it will work by flashing stock mpj24.139-63 only or I have to relock Boot loader again by flashing stock mm.
I'm in confusion. Also Please suggest that should I flash gpt and bootloader during downgrade operation or flash everything except these two.
My phone is xt1643 2/16 GB. running cm 14.1

Rooting on Nougat.

As we all know Samsung has started pushing the final Nougat build to users, Indians are going to get the OTA soon in the coming weeks. I want to update my phone finally & root it at the same time. Before I do that I wanted to clarify the steps I'm going to perform with you guys to avoid any mistakes. Hope this is full proof.
I'm currently on 6.0.1 SM930FD.
The attached screenshot has all the steps I'm going to perform, the only change is step 12 where ROM will change to Super su zip file.
I hope there is no modem changes? Or any sort of bootloader upgrade that needs to be performed?
Thanks for all the help people, hope this helps everyone.

Its the same procedure I think. We have got the rooted Custom STOCK ROMs as well.
I'm from India and flashed the BTU firmware to checkout the official unrooted Nougat.
I'll try rooting today and let you know.

Well I found much better way with installing this [Universal Script S7/S7 Edge] UniMod V1 (Debloat+Root+Busybox+AdBlock+More)
So I've been watching some videos on how to root s7 on nougat & I can see mostly people using magisk with phh root? I really liked the idea of magisk as we can un root the device at any give point just with a simple switch. Imagine OTA updates (not sure if it works) though there is flash fire for that purpose but if magisk works flawless then why not? What are your thoughts on this?

To use phh root, you need TWRP.
And Inorder to get the OTA updates, you need to have stock Recovery
BTW, You can also unroot in supersu with one click.

Oreo Beta EMUI 6 feedback

As most of us have not been able to partake in the Oreo Beta program it would be nice if we could get some feedback from those lucky users that were able to get into the beta program.
Have you been able to unlock and root the Beta firmware?
What problems have you had?
Which new features do you like?

Unlock yes, root no.
Going system root might work. Systemless will be tricky as the boot partition is split into a ramdisk partition and a kernel partition. And some files that used to be in ramdisk could be in /system now, I haven't investigated much (this is the case with OPO3 Oreo).
But I like Oreo so I hope Magisk will work with it in the future.

Well I only need root to get rid of garbage app Huawei and other vendors install. In any case I can't imagine that SuperSu and Magisk won't figure it out.

I downloaded the Huawei Beta App here:

Have applied, according to the app I am 4/500. The App looks very professional and well-designed. Looking forward to trying out Orea early, bravo Huawei. I'm not a rooter etc, will be using as a regular heavy user.
I rebranded to L29C636 from L09C34 a few weeks ago and just applied for the Australian Mate 9 Oreo update. Was 5/500, get in quick people
I am on Oreo since a week approx. and I am experiencing a limited responsiveness of the touch screen, especially on the bottom part esp. when navigation bar is hidden....anybody else making this experience?

I have no problem with android o so far. However I have not used all features available with android o. I do not really care for the new features of android o or emui 8 (picture in picture, hide navigation bar, floating dock,...). In fact I like the settings of the emui 5 better.

Yes, for whatever reason there is no 'a' mentioned under build number. The a is in the internal Huawei build number so FunkyHuawei shows it like that.
Under further review, the phones do report the 321a to FunkyHuawei's server as the installed version regardless, so if you finished the install it is 321a. Nothing to worry about.

Android O for C636 exists, but it's an older version from September, branded as EMUI 6, before they decided to make it EMUI 8. Probably newer beta one coming soon. There are new ones for C900 (hw/normal) branding, Latin America branding, Russia branding... I just haven't released them.

I didn't install it yet, just downloaded update.zip and those. Mainly to check vendor image without installing it...
Edit: oh, duraaraa already answered
I got all the three Oreo files too via the HiSiute method, since even with a correct DNS setting, wherever I could stick it I got "Package information download failed". Installed via the HWOTA successfully though. The Oreo test build is quite buggy when it comes to Wireless tethering and LTE speeds. Feels much slower then my N European 194 build so far. Shows "Phone Overheating" a lot too, something I never saw on my N build either. Have yet to see how long the battery will last. See few differences in the camera, maybe added zoom in raw mode. Still no Monochrome Raw, or 1080p Timelapses.

Newest Update released 11/13/17 QJ3

Thanks. I had seen some information indicating we MIGHT get some iteration of 7.1.x before getting 8.0. Who knows when we'll get 8.0 though. It's in beta now for the S8/Note 8, but even for those phones it's still probably going to be at least a couple of months before they get 8.0. And we definitely won't get it before they do...

I am guessing they are referring to this one.
I think it also updated the bootloader

Correct, it went from binary 4 to binary 5. From what I've read and gathered once you take the update you can't downgrade firmware because the older ones are using binary 4

One minor (major) thing they left out of the change log. People are complaining on the S7 forums because they can no longer flash to U firmware. I haven't tried it, but I've also seen people have issues with rooting now because they need an updated eng_boot.
Does anyone have this firmware for download? it's not on Samfirm yet and now im stuck in a recovery loop and trying to flash the previous firmware fails due to the new bootloader. Google shows nothing.

I'll confirm that this hotspot method still works after this latest update! It was one of my concerns.

Were you able to get this yet?
Here is the Sprint firmware, for use with Odin, from the newest release. I can't take credit for finding it -- I requested it in another thread and someone posted it for me. I have now put it on my GD (the link below), just in case the original one goes away.

This RUU is for CHINA region U11 EYEs (haydtwl) therefore you can't flash this.

I was able to flash this ROM version, however I don't have access to any google apps since it is a china sense.Is there any solution to this?

Try GMS Installer (see attachment), this app is for China android devices that want to install Google Play Service.

I tried the app and searched the procedure need to be done but unfortunately it didn't work for me, is there any possible thing that I can do? Google is so important to me since all my data are backed up there. Now I can't even restore the ROM I was using before and I am stuck with China Sense..

I figured out now why GMS didn't work, coz I flashed the magisk boot zip and I have an unlocked bootloader. I went back to stock then tried the app and it worked. Thanks! Now I'm just wondering if the device was reset then I have to do the same procedure again?

Yes, you must do it again if you reset the device.

OHHH I see, cuz I extracted it all noticed its setup with oreo file structure minus the vendor partition. It's all in system/vendor ie: adreno, firmware, vendor/etc for settings/configs. I assumed it had oreo already. Thank you for clarifying much appreciated.

Hello, you can help, I have this HTC U11 EYES terminal, but it says that it comes with oreo, it's not like that, it brings android 7.1.2, the seller says that the phone is not root nor is it altered it is that way, because it is not updated , Thank you.
ok I understand that there is only at the moment 7.1.2?
But the level of security patch is November 1, 2017 should not be updated, thank you very much
Device launched in January with Nougat 7.1.2, it will not get Oreo for awhile yet...It did not come with Oreo.. So I would say the seller misled you...
