For all those who aren't yet ready to upgrade to Lollipop but would like to close this vulnerability on their device, I have built the latest CM11 i9100 source as of 9/1/15 (since CM11 nightlies for this device are no longer released for download). This build is unofficial but I have not modified it in any way**. It includes all StageFright fixes that the CM development team has implemented.
All required downloads are located here.
Works well as a daily driver with Lanchon's i777 Crossflash Kernel on my device.
Installation instructions can be found on CM's website or on Lanchon's kernel thread (above).
I recommend wiping cache/system/data prior to flashing (dirty flash with only a cache wipe did not work on my device when upgrading from the last public nightly).
Good luck!
** I did manually modify the updater-script to allow this ROM to be flashed on any device (because i9100 ROMs refuse to flash on the i777/S959G). Flashing this ROM on anything other than an i9100/i777/S959G WILL brick your device.

Apparently the crossflash kernel is incompatible with this build (not sure why - was working ok on my device). A compatible version was rebuilt by Lanchon on 9/4/15 (can be found on his thread or in the download link in the first post).
Very considerate, and good of you to take the time to present this. Cheers, and build-on!

I just started a rebuild. Will try to upload when it's finished tonight - maybe that vulnerability has been patched since the last time I built this (months ago).

Rebuilt and uploaded. Give it a shot - I'm not sure if it'll work or if that bug is patched but it shouldn't hurt to try. Just make a backup first.

If you're coming from a prior version of CM11 dirty flash should be fine.
Coming from omnirom 4.4.4 with TWRP, safe or no? There's a newer thread by Lanchon... my eMMC chip is VYL00M Firmware revision 19 (which can have superbrick bug?) ugh... Typically.... I softbrick my phone a few days til I sort things out when upgrading from GB>ICS>JB>kitkat (kitkat softbricked me)
All this partitioning stuff has me a bit sketched, but I hate how kitkat disabled USB mass storage (without me knowing or I wouldn't have upgraded) any custom ways around this with new roms?

The official builds of CM11 and CM12.1 are safe to use with the i777. So are my unofficial builds (that don't include TWRP). Lanchon's kernels (with TWRP included) are safe to use as well. I highly recommend using one of Lanchon's modern kernels with whatever ROM you end up installing (they are basically stock kernels that contain bug fixes and are TRIM enabled). TRIM functionality is really essential to maintain good performance on this device (especially considering the i777 is now a few years old and runs a lot of current apps sluggishly).
I have an S959G (slight variation of the i777 - ROMs are interchangeable between these two models) with VYL00Mx19. I used @Lanchon's i777 kernels for years without a device superbrick. My understanding is that the superbrick bug basically occurred under one type of firmware TRIM command called Secure Erase. As far as I know, secure erase still remains bugged and dangerous, and for this reason is NOT used. Lanchon's TRIM kernels enable regular (unsecure) erase that is understood to be safe and still gives you the benefit of TRIM .

Thanks dimoochka, i'm probably going to give it a go this weekend.
Before I found this thread nothing worked; I tried 11,12 and 13 from other post and had weird things happen, 1st I lost my CWM 6.0.51 screen and was stuck with CM boot creen. 2nd E: failed to verify whole-file signature. 3rd it said I couldn't flash because I was on a i9100!? I think my device is possessed ... I have had issues with everything but cm-11-20150901-UNOFFICIAL-i9100 from your link, somehow this one worked! Thank you for posting this! I was about to buy a new phone :good:

Glad this helped! Just so you're aware I haven't rebuilt this ROM for a good 9 months (and I am not even sure if the CM team is still patching old bugs in versions 11/12). If you're unable to get CM13 on the i777, I would definitely suggest buying a newer device for the sake of security. Nexus devices are basically the only option I'm aware of here since none of the other manufacturers actively maintain their ROMs. I retired my i777 in leiu of a Nexus 5X about 6 months ago.
Best of luck!

FPBug: Meet the very first stable kernel for the Galaxy S2 i9100, S2 AT&T i777, S2 Epic 4G Touch d710 and Note n7000 since Gingerbread days
Every single Android 4.x kernel for these devices has had a serious bug (FPBug) that randomly corrupts the state of processes, starting with Samsungs's stock ICS and JB and spanning every custom kernel out there newer than Gingerbread.
STATS: 500+ kernel downloads in 2 days, wow!
RELATED: Make sure you check out my TRIM-enabled kernels updated with the FPBug fix.
UPDATE: A fix for FPBug has been merged into CyanogenMod's cm-11.0 branch! The fix has not made it to the stable/cm-11.0 and cm-12.0 branches yet. Changes: this one and the previous 12. Commits: this one and the previous 12. The 20150111 nightlies are the first official CM 11 nightlies to incorporate the fix.
A little bit of history
As Android got more complex, the effects of this bug grew more visible, to the point of making the platform completely unstable for some users. Complex apps would fail for no reason, GSM, 3G and WiFi connectivity would randomly be lost, music playback would stop and require a reboot, camera would fail, internal storage and SD cards would become inaccessible, installed apps would disappear, users would experience battery drain issues ranging from inability to enter deep sleep all the way to phones becoming very hot, and the list goes on and on.
These failures all seemed unrelated and their cause was very hard to track down. Partly because events happened randomly and were not reproducible, but mostly because the bug undermines the very assumptions programmers deal with when creating any kind of code. And so years passed and the common cause of all this pain was never identified. Many ROM developers abandoned the platform out of frustration.
Then finally this past March, when analyzing the random loss of access to storage, user cgx observed a corruption event for the first time, and a connection between all these unrelated issues, sometimes hypothesized, was suddenly found. The corruption seemed to have happened in the stack, but it was later suspected then confirmed that the corruption actually happened directly in the registers of the floating point unit of the CPU. Yet processes that did not use floating point at all were also affected, because the GCC compiler typically spills registers into the FPU and uses FP and NEON instructions for optimization.
These findings allowed the creation of a stopgap fix for the "music bug" that shielded the FUSE process (which manages access to storage) from corruption in the FPU. The fix was widely applied and effectively eliminated all bugs resulting from sudden loss of storage access and returned the platform to pre-Android 4.3 stability levels: ie, sort of stable enough to be used as a daily driver. Later a working detector for the elusive bug was made and it was confirmed that all kernels since Gingerbread were affected (a thing that was already suspected given that the FirefoxOS people had described similar symptoms in 2012 under stock Samsung ICS). Finally enough of a root cause was hypothesized and a fix was worked out. And if this were not good enough news, user Entropy512, the exynos platform hero who saved us all from brickbug, has hinted that official Lollipop from Omni is now a possibility.
A short description of what the fix does can be found here.
Update
User zeitferne worked non-stop throughout this weekend and made amazing progress. He found a couple of missing commits that are apparently needed for the FPU state tracking to work through power state changes, he discovered that the FPU in CPU0 is the one that actually gets the corruption, he found an explanation why this bug never affected the 4412 platform (Galaxy S3, Note 2, etc), he narrowed down the conditions for the corruption, and finally output an alternative patchset that apparently fixes the FPU state restore optimization rather than just disabling it as mine does.
Kernel developers are encouraged to merge his changes in lieu of mine once enough testing is done and @zeitferne green-lights the patches. This is important as it might fix as-of-yet undetected bugs or prevent bugs arising from future changes. In the meantime, eager maintainers can merge my fix which is by now well tested. Users will only see a small (<< 1% ?) performance increase with zeitferne's patchset and don't really need to bother with this; my advice for them would be to wait for the changes to trickle into their kernel of choice. AMAZING JOB ZEI!!!
2nd UPDATE: @zeitferne has green-lit his patchset! Kernel maintainers merging it please take note: 1) Make sure my fix is removed before applying his, otherwise there will be a small performance hit in the resulting kernel. 2) Both our fixes also affect the 4412 platform (i9300, n7100, etc) in slightly different ways, and the effects of this have not been properly tested. I must recommend that some testing be done before distributing FPBug-fixed 4412 kernels. Please report your test results back to this thread.
WARNING: A problem was reported with zeitferne's patchset.
FOLLOW UP: @zeitferne made some changes to his patchset and initial testing looks good.
AND FINALLY: The patchset was merged into cm-11.0! (See this change and the 12 previous ones.)
Downloads
You will find kernels for various CyanogenMod releases, M-snapshots and nightlies here. These kernels are guaranteed to work only with the exact matching version of CM specified in the last part of their filenames. But in reality they should work with most versions of CM that are close enough. (Don't ask me about this, I don't know, I don't even have any of these phones! Just try them and see for yourself if you are feeling a little adventurous.) For other ROMs i expect this fix to be merged in a matter of days after some more testing is done. Please be patient, and KitKat users can flash my music bug fix in the meantime.
FAQ
Q. I have flashed your music bug fix in the past. Can I flash your kernel?
A. Yes! The music bug fix has no downsides. In fact, as a side effect, that fix makes your phone slightly faster and saves some battery so it should be merged in all ROMs IMHO. If you already have it installed leave it in place, but do not flash it again the next time you upgrade the OS. Please do not flash it just for the sake of optimization: since it is based on CM11 M10, it would actually be a downgrade.

Great Job @Lanchon
i never had any GPS problems on my i9100 before ICS. Since JB it has gotten sooooo much worse. I tried atleast 20 different ROMs (JB, KK) and 5 different Navigation Apps. Nothing helps. Currently i am on CM11 M12 Snapshot. Still not better...
Could this kernel also help me with the GPS Problem??
so no bad battery life any more?

No it won't solve gps problems. I've had good luck using GPS status https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2 and Faster GPS https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps from the Google play store. GPS status will download assistance data (A-GPS) and faster GPS setups the proper ntp server for your area. I get fixes in about 10 seconds now.

Everything is somehow faster with this kernel. I flashed the music bug fix with this kernel. Waiting for trim kernel, it will further accelerate the phone.
I noticed that the phone is not heated as before.
You're a genius because you've done a lot for us, s2 community ... And we know that you do not own this legendary phone
Thank you @Lanchon

Lanchon bases his kernel on stock cm kernel, so cwm recovery is built in.
I wanted to ask, witch Roms are stable and support all features of Kenzo.
It seems that in several Roms there are different Problems,
from wakelocks and Battery drain,
over Wifi Problems
to missing Fingerprint or VolTE support.
Is it a Problem with Android 6.0 or also with 5.1 based Roms?
This should be in the Questions & Answers section. However, I have official CM 13.0 and I haven't encountered any of the problems that you mentioned above. If you read instructions carefully and understand what you're doing, you won't have any trouble as long as the rom you are flashing supports those features. If you head over to the Android Development section, you can see the features that each rom does and doesn't support. If the OP says it is supported but you can't get it to work, then the problem comes from your side. Before flashing make sure you have read and understood the required steps and have taken all the necessary precautions to avoid ending up with a "bricked" device. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Thanks for your reply,
yes i know what im doing (had Nexus 4 and flashed it more than a hundred times).
I normally check first post (+ following from OP) and the last sites of the Thread to see if there are bugs or not (cause "no bugs" in OP-Thread is not always correct).
But if CM13 is, so far, bug free and full featured (fingerprint and so on) than i will give it a try.

It is. I've been using it for almost 1 month now, and I can say it's probably the most stable and complete rom for me. I also flashed the CM 13.0 supported firmware along with Radon Kernel and the device is blazing fast. As for the battery, I can get 1 week+ with minimal usage, and about 2-3 days with heavy usage which is pretty impressive for a hexa-core device with a 1080p screen.

Well, if you are going to flash this rom you are going to have to flash the appropriate firmware too, since CM is based on it. If you flash the rom without flashing the firmware, you might end up with missing options in settings (I tried this and the "fingerprints" tab was missing). As soon as I flashed the firmware everything got fixed. Also, an official rom means that it is developed by a member or a group of members that have created the original project, while unofficial roms can be built by anyone. For example I can take a CM build and customize it the way i want and then release it to the public. This makes it an unofficial rom, since I'm not a member of the CM development team. But if a rom or an update releases on the CM website, then it is considered to be official.
By the way about the VoLTE support, quoting from OP Q&A:
Q) Is VoLTE supported? (Also useful if you have GApps related problems).
A) No. We use all proprietary blobs from MIUI Marshmallow alpha 'leaked' builds and those builds itself do not have it working. So we'll have to wait until Xiaomi fixes it in their marshmallow builds in future. Also we can't fallback to old LP radio blobs/libs and are not suited with current setup. #blamexiaomi

I guess you'll have to wait for Xiaomi to release a stable working MM build if you want voLTE support. :/
*** This project is now abandoned in favor of the LineageOS variant ***
This is a port of Cyanogenmod 14.1 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) LTE SM-T285. Cyanogenmod needs no introduction, it is one of the most popular aftermarket ROM distributions around.
5.1.1 is the best that you can get from samsung right now and it is not known if they plan to do any upgrades. I have absolutely no idea why samsung chose to stay with the outdated 5.1.1 mid 2016 when we already got 7.1 coming out. This custom rom is probably the best you can get if you want an upgrade from Lollipop. Performance on the latest build is also better, you be the judge.
As this is the first CM-14.1 release, I don't recommend you use this as a daily driver, but it should be good enough for some. Make sure you read the pending issues below and decide if this is acceptable to you before you flash this rom. This rom probably won't get much use out of some people until bluetooth is fixed.
Based off on Cyanogenmod 14.1 sources which is based on Nougat 7.1.

Other Notes:
- selinux permissive
Most of the issues are fixable, I just need more time and encouragement
SM-T280 Users: Unfortunately this rom would probably not work on it since the SM-T285 and SM-T280 have different kernels and slightly different hardware. I don't have access to this device so it would be hard for me to port it over. However I believe there are a lot of similiarities in the device tree that can be shared. If a dev with the SM-T280 is interested I can probably help.
Download
========
Remember flashing an unofficial ROM on your samsung device will probably void your warranty, Samsung representatives will probably not be able to help you as they are still stuck at 5.1.1 land as of now and have no idea how to handle a SM-T285 that is running 7.1.
As always flash this at your own risk. Make sure you have a copy of the stock ROM so that you have something to fall back to, which is highly the case when using an experimental rom.
See DevDB download section.
BUILD12032016
Note that this rom is pure stock and does not come with the Play Store or any Gapps, I suggest you download a micro gapps package separately and install it via recovery.
There have been reports that recent versions of open gapps don't work properly, it is advised to use older versions instead (e.g. open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20161109.zip)
Installation Instructions
==================
Perform a backup of all of your important files. This ROM is experimental and I will not be responsible for your loss of data.
Download the zip file and extract the tar.
Use Odin/Heimdall to flash the tar file to your device. If you are coming from stock oranother rom make sure you wipe first using TWRP. Coming from a previous version of OMNIRom for SM-T285 may not require a wipe, however please perform a wipe if you encounter problems.
Root and customization
===================
This ROM is a purely based on source and is not rooted out of the box. However you can easily root it by using TWRP to install the latest version of SuperSU.
If you want to customize this ROM and repackage it you may use this guide as a reference.

Nice job!!!
Great job! The ROM is impressively fluid, and I particularly love the way it renders fine text, which I appreciate because I prefer DPIs of 140 to 160. Unfortunately, just like in the early iterations of OmniROM 6.0, the tablet will not connect to the internet over cellular networks no matter how much I tinker with APNs. It's a great build, nevertheless, and I look forward to future releases.
Thank you !! Will give it a try.
posting here too (as did on omni - realized this is the cm 14.1 board)...
"briefly tried the cm14.1....much better very fast response-on the omni the pull down was an issue (would also ask me to format the sd card)
noticed here too the signal tends to drop in and out (wonder if it is some power saving going on-it goes to full strength during a call)...speakerphone also does not work here but must say this is better than the omni even though data does not work"
keyboard much better here too
on both cm14.1 and the omni, the dialer tends to be have some lag when pressing the numbers (do it too fast and can get many errors)-minor thing understand this is an alpha and the omni is a beta
thanks
I can't get Soft Keys to work, worked fine on the Omni ROM, only problem I have come across so far.

needs some xml changes that needs to be compiled into the framework for that I believe. Though there are more critical bugs I need to fix with this 7.1 rom.
I wish I could help in some way, appreciate your work.

Thank Jedld, i has tried 27th,october version and it WORKS, thank.
I used the version as recommended in the Omni ROM, which was from the 9th of November, no problems with the app store or downloading apps either.
Any closer to another release ?
Nougat will take a while unfortunately

Those patches didn't help unfortunately Though I've fixed network type selection in CM-14.1 already, unfortunately data connection still won't come online due to errors related to APNs. Seeing as this was working perfectly in CM-13 this could be a CM-14 or Nougat related change, it will take a while to figure out what that is. As for bluetooth I was able to get it to turn on, however it is still unable to detect/pair to any device, this is also something that was working in CM-13.

The Unlegacy Android Project
TF201 | TF300T/TG/TL | TF700T
Introduction
Unlegacy Android started out as the OMAP4-AOSP Project. It was created in late 2015 in order to maintain a clean and organized place for pure AOSP support for various OMAP4 devices, such as the Galaxy Nexus and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 series. Over time this evolved to support more than just these devices, but still maintains its roots of supporting "legacy" devices that no longer receive "official" updates: hence Unlegacy Android was born. In our opinion, these ROMs are how the official updates would look.
On top of AOSP, we only include changes which are necessary to support the hardware, be secure, and get acceptable performance. Current features for Asus Transformer Series include:
- Linux kernel 3.4.y (currently 3.4.113)
- BFQ IO scheduler (official kernel 3.4 release), set up so GUI processes have the highest priority
- F2FS support from kernel 4.9 (for /data and /cache)
Installation
You must have NvFlash backup. It is MANDATORY!
You need to use modified TWRP recovery that works with updated F2FS. If you're planning to install GApps, be sure to read the second post!
Problems
Non working/Known bugs:
- Touchscreen failure (sometimes occurs, if touch works after reboot it will work till next reboot);
- Camera (both);
- Dock special keys (top row);
- GUI crashes; - occure less often
Currently, I'm only one from Unlegacy Team, who has TF device. Help in developing or device donation would be highly appreciated.
Downloads
See: http://builds.unlegacy-android.org. Our automated builds ensure that we always have the latest Android security patches merged in, without having to manually start and upload builds Else is enclosed in downloads.
Latest information about OREO builds can be found HERE.
Features?
There isn't much to say here - this is AOSP, if you install GApps, you pretty much get the same thing that's running on the Nexus devices (see the second post). The aim of this project is to create a fast and stable ROM - although, one could use Xposed (or similar) to add extra features.
As usual, feedback is appreciated

You may join Telegram development group, where all fresh staff is published and tests are made.
XDA:DevDB Information
Unlegacy Android Project, ROM for the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime
Contributors
Clamor, Ziyan, Narkolai
Source Code: https://github.com/Unlegacy-Android
ROM OS Version: 7.x Nougat
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.x
ROM Firmware Required: Bootloader 4.2 JB
Based On: AOSP
Version Information
Status: Beta
Created 2018-02-18
Last Updated 2018-10-17
Installation gide (for those who uses F2FS)
Before installing ROM you need to update your current recovery with this TWRP, else you will get a bootloop with next format from fastboot. Install zip from your current recovery and reboot into your current system. Than boot into new recovery and install ROM (with factory reset).
Currently 3.4 kernel isn't stable enough for daily use. You may use updated 3.1 _that16 kernel, it works fine with this ROM. To make wifi work with _that16 kernel just move nvram_nh615.txt from system/etc to data/misc/wifi and rename to nvram.txt
You may use KatKiss 7.1 if you want, but you must flash a _that16 kernel every time after flashing KatKiss ROM. Else you will get a bootloop with next format from fastboot.
If you want to go back to ordinary TWRP, you need to make a format from fastboot, flash TWRP and make formats from there as well.
REPARTITION and TREBLE
TF201 users know well what is repartition. While flashing 4.2BL from HB internal storage is reformatted. This thing is exactly the same.
I worked on it for few last weeks to make it stable and simple enough to any user to install this update. As usual NvFlash is MANDATORY!
So, UA_Bootloader.zip includes latest JB4.2 10.6.1.27.5 bootloader, modified TWRP [email protected] from Downloads section and my new partition table. It's main benefits are /system partition increased to 1GB and /vendor partition. This means that we may install bigger gapps packages and support of TF's may be extended plus having /vendor partition gives us at least hardware support for Project Treble, even if there is no 8.1 builds currently.
Before installation copy everything from tablet on PC, else all you data will be lost! To install this update just install it via TWPR and when flashing is finished press reboot into system. Than wait till blue line gets to the end and tablet reboots. Tablet will than stuck into ASUS screen with Device is Unlocked sign in top left corner. Than reboot manually into recovery and format /system to ext4; /cache to ext4 or f2fs; /data to ext4 or f2fs and you are good to go.
New partition table is compatible with all existing ROMs for TF's. If you flash ROM with system in .img file you need after flash into recovery do Wipe -> System -> Advanced Wipe -> Change or resize partition -> Resize filesystem. If you want to restore 4.2 state you can flash HB bootloader or Bootloader 4.2 attached in Downloads section.
Thank you very much for your work !
I see you have done some modifications on github. Can you explain to me how generate system.new.dat & system.transfer.list from your repo in order to create an updated version of this ROM ?

Actually you can't build fully working ROM from my source for now. If you would like to help in developing - PM me.
Do I need stock tf201 bootloader, or is this based on the hairybean boadloader? Like Katkiss ROM is based on.
Thanks for sharing this ROM.

Based on latest 4.2 bootloader (like Hairybean). I'll provide a bootloader + new TWRP and separate TWRP as soon as I get a stable recovery build.
General Feedback
Finally got around to flashing your ROM a week ago, following your instructions, everything went fine. I installed your UA-bootloader and flashed _that16 kernel.
Running pretty smooth with Pico gapps installed, after a week, the usual happens, slow loading apps etc, but that is not the ROMs fault, the very slow memory that Asus put into it and Google is slowing it down with constant syncs etc.
Was wondering if you had added compatibility for using MicroG?
Thanks for keeping this old tablet going.
@goosebickel sorry for such a long silence. MicroG are supported as I can say (I installed them but didn't test much).
P.S. If you are still on UA rom there is an update.
Oreo 8.1
Yesterday I have quickly build 8.1 ROM for transformers. There doesn't work almost anything and I won't have excess to my TF201 for a while to fix stuff Rom can be booted with same requirements as N roms. Here is first build. Please don't post any issues/logs from O for now. I know already about all major issues.
Thank you!
Great to see some development for the Transformer Prime
I have some good news. Here is mostly working build with issues from N + non working bt. I'm still working on fixing staff so this isn't last build.
P.S. Remove system/lib/hw/bluetooth.default.so to avoid constant bt crash

I'm planing to bring up P as well. If O works, P should work as well.
Can the ROM be installed by using the latest KANG TWRP 3.2.3 or do I need to use the TWRP found in the download section?
@shinzz TWRP from download section
any update?

My 201 is on KANG's - TWRP 3.2.1-0 and KatKiss, if this ROM just a simple wipe and flash with KANG's - TWRP 3.2.1-0 and the Harry Bean bootloader on my 201 or will I need a different recovery console, bootloader ext. ext? - NP
Hello,
As the thread where I originally announced this was locked for reasons apparently unrelated to my build, and the links removed, I'm creating a new thread to keep the community aware of these builds.
I've been building LineageOS 14.1 from the official LineageOS source repository for my personal devices for some time now, and it finally occurred to me that others might find them useful.
These builds are created every Saturday night from a 100% unaltered LineageOS repository, which is synchronized with upstream every day. I must stress that there are NO MODIFICATIONS at all; if it worked/didn't work in the last official Cyanogenmod/LineageOS releases, it works/doesn't work in my builds. At Apple we called these "sustaining builds" -- they keep devices in sync with the latest security patches, but receive no new features.
The build for the Asus Zenpad 8.0 Z380K[N]L (aka P024) is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/p024/. This appears to work on both the Z380KL (as reported in the locked thread) and my Z380KNL. There are other devices being built as well ... if you would like me to add a 14.1 or 15.1 device to the weekly build roster, please let me know.
I hope this helps out folks who want to extend the service lifetime of their gear. Share and enjoy.
Edit: per moderator request, I need to provide a link to the source repository used to generate these builds to comply with XDA's interpretation of the GPL. It is the stock LineageOS repository, located at git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git. TheMuppets binary repository was used for the vendor blobs; it is at https://github.com/TheMuppets/
Hi, I have been using your build and updated my device weekly! it' s still good and awesome. (I also use your build for my nexus7)
if you find Oreo, Pie version! please let everyone know. Thank you.
Thank's keep update bro.
Hi, I don't see your weekly build for 22 Nov 2019.
Are there any issues ?
Nice update thanks friends l.
Yeap yesterday i reported, and TS promised to update.
Argh, apparently I wasn't subscribed to my own thread. Fixed.
Sorry about the SIM recognization problem. Somehow my private dev builds were being uploaded instead of the sustaining builds. @DEV87WHY pinged me a few days ago to let me know. The newest build is from the correct tree, and hopefully this won't happen again.

Question about Unofficial rom for Asus ZenPad 8.0 z380knl
How do you update device with rom without losing apps and data? Is it possible to update from unofficial lineage os 14.1 from your repository to latest unofficial lineage os 14.1 build from your repository without having to reinstall apps? My understanding is that you follow the process of normal flash of rom but you don't wipe? Is that it?
Another question:
Does MTP(file transfer) work with this ROM?
Also, did you manage to unlock bootloader(oem unlock). I know it is possible to flash the rom without bootloader unlock. Is that how you do it or you have found a way to unlock bootloader?
Thank you so much.

Hi there,
First off -- thanks for the gift! Much appreciated.
If you're just flashing one of my newer builds on top of one of my older builds, then you shouldn't have to do anything special. Just kick the device into recovery and flash on top of the older build. If you're coming from the ancient Cyanogenmod or the stock ROM, then AFAIK you'll have to wipe.
MTP *should* work but I've never tried it. I don't have my device with me right now so I can't do a quick verification.
For unlocking the bootloader, I'm trying to remember (this was several years ago). IIRC I put it into fastboot and did a tethered recovery boot (i.e., "fastboot boot /path/to/recovery_image_on_pc.img"). Then I did a full wipe and a flash ... and bricked the device because I had a Z380KNL and the Cyanogenmod image at the time supported only the Z380KL.
I then put the stock ROM back on, and when the KNL bits hit the Cyanogen repository, I flashed it with success. At no point did I ever successfully unlock the bootloader as far as I can tell -- I downloaded the ASUS unlock but it never reported success. When booted into fastboot, there's a locked symbol at the lower right of the screen. That doesn't interfere with flashing anything from recovery.
Oh, and important safety tip: to enter recovery from fastboot after you've flashed it via the tethered recovery boot, you'll have to choose "factory reset" on the KNL.
I hope that helps.
As soon as I find out MTP is working I will flash the rom

Gift was my pleasure
The info is most usefull. Thank you for that.
I am currently running my ZenPad 8.0 z380knl on Asus stock rom but ardently looking to upgrade to android 7.1.2 for security reasons as well as other reasons.
I was investigating if everything is working on the new rom. Also upgrade procedure from stock rom to lineage os and from lineage os 14.1 to latest 14.1 lineage os. Thankfully you cleared all that up. Thanks so much !
Only thing that remains for me to find out is if MTP is working on rom, so please check it for me when you have the time.
BTW, I haven't seen your new buld since last week.Will there be no update ?
Is everything working with this ROM?
Can i get confirmation from someone who is actively using it..
MTP and everything else working?

There should be an update (or two!) today. The build rooster hung about midway through last week's build for deb, and was actually still running after seven days. I killed off the deb build process and it's progressing to the other devices, although much slower than it should be. I'll troubleshoot this after the regularly scheduled build completes late tonight.
(I'm using Arch Linux on this build machine, and it seems that something in the filesystem layer in kernel > 5.4.10 doesn't like operating under sustained heavy load)
I saw your new build today and have installed it. Thank you
However, The latest security patch has not been applied yet. Hope it will come in next build.
Thank you so much for maintaining the device.
Thank you wileyc !

Million thanks
I have installed the newest one (built on 08 Feb)
the Android security patch was updated to Jan 2020! Thank you very much.
I am worried how long you will keep sharing your build weekly.
Hope next 2 years Thanks again.
I have also installed the latest. Thanks so much!
Thankyou for the update :good:
