[Sprint|DEV|PGC|Snapdragon] Note 7 engineering bootloader/kernel! DEVS NEEDED - Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Here is the engineering bootloader/kernel for the Sprint Note 7 (N930P). This will not flash in any Odin version I've tried, including the newest 3.12.4. This was pulled straight from the legit TAR image, but attempting to flash the TAR or just the boot.img gives a Secure Check Failed : boot message in Odin. I have managed to flash it with dd in adb with our "userdebug" software leak (PH3), but upon booting, it gives the message below.
Hopefully one of you other talented people will have a solution to flashing this ...

Good luck bro! ?

Yep

literally all i wanted was root i dont really care about custom roms anymore. goodluck freeza, i used your kernel on my tmo note 4 and it was a beast. Ill send you some weed money.

This is strange, are you sure it's eng boot.img cause I get all eng boot.img before someone release them publicly, I had att eng boot.img for all models and T-Mobile s7 s7 edge... So if it was true eng boot.img it shouldn't give this error, it would just fail and not flash do to it either being patched or new software rev
Check your pm

I know on the s7 Edge you needed to use the special Odin that skipped some check. Could that be the issue?

Not sure if it is a hoax, but did you try the Odin all the sites for the S7 is claiming as specially designed for the engineering bootloader?

The Canadian note 7 is not locked. I have OEM unlock checked off with no issues unless im missing something here

If it is an official engineering bootloader / kernel as the OP says, wouldn't dm-verity be self-contained, being as it is a kernel component?

[WIP] Note Series Developer Edition Conversion

All,
Due to the recent accidental leak of Samsung eMMC vendor commands allowing write to protected eMMC areas, we are now able to write CID values on production devices.
Beaups has written an awesome tool called 'SamsungCID' (found here: https://github.com/beaups/SamsungCID). This makes the process all teh simpler!
I have built this tool from his source, and used it on a multitude of devices that use a Samsung eMMC. It works without flaw on the Moto G (Second Generation), Galaxy S5 (VZW/ATT, though, ATT doesn't have a Developer Edition that I am aware of), and many, many others.
How does this apply to you?
The Note 3 uses a Samsung eMMC, and has a Developer Edition. This means that it is vulnerable to this exploit.
How can I help this progress?
I need a few thing to make this work:
- A few testers with Production devices, and root (temp-root should work fine) -- I will contact these people individually, do not ask here to test.
- One person with a Developer Edition that has root (need an aboot dump, and them to run one command to dump their CID).
If any of you know of someone with a Developer Edition, please get them in contact with me. I can be reached on Hangouts, or on Telegram (@npjohnson).
PLEASE do not post your CID publicly.

Not a test. Read the title.
New exploits allow for CID change, which allows is to flash Developer Edition a boots if we use a corresponding CID.

Yes, if we can get the dump and that devixes CID.

His CID is still valid though? Regardless if he flashed locked, he can flash back as his CID should be the same so he can flash a dev bootloader? then give the aboot dump and CID???

No, each Developer Edition device has a specific Aboot that contains a specially crafted hash of that devices CID.
So, no, if he deleted his Aboot backup and is running a production one, he would need to contact Samsung to get an aboot (of his current increment, i.e. OF1/NK1/NC5/etc.) made. And the chances of getting a response form them is low. I've only heard that contacting them works once.
At npjohnson
I have retail also 5 rooted with busybox and flashfire. .currently on jasmine rom here to help. .
invisiblek and me have been messing with my retail note 3 on of1 (rooted with supersu and removed kingroot)
anyhow we been changing my cid to a dev edition and back to retail
anyhow i had been flashing nk1 and nj6 too but last night i did a wipe and odin stock of1 and during setup wizard i got multi-language setup wizard
this is when i am not rooted and with my retail cid set
we arent supposed to get multi-language setup unless we have the dev edition right or unless rooted?
i think (if the above is correct) that when changing the cid to the dev edition that it does stick even when changing back to the retail cid.
unless its normal to get the multi-language setup with this rom

You should contact Samsung. I have heard of them unlocking the bootloader again for those that accidentally locked them on more than one occasion. As long as it is still identifiable as a developer's edition you shouldn't have a problem. All three incidences that I heard were free as well. Then, you could contribute for sure!

It's a complete gsm/lte rsd flashable rom for xt1609 verizon.
Worked.. I can't make calls on start, but toggle 2g then 4g/lte fix that. thanks a million
Wow, awesome!!! That makes replacement devices INCREDIBLY cheap!! Thanks for this one ?
I understand this will essentially convert a VZW G4 Play into a GSM variant? Does this also unlock the bootloader & bring the possibility of flashing current roms from the GSM variants? I apologize if any of these questions are answered elsewhere.

Install rom with locked bootloader to pass oem unlock

Is it possible to install a custom rom of any sort that has oem unlock option available with a locked bootloader?
?? sadly not that I know...
I'm on the Galaxy forever program so I get the brand new Galaxy but I miss flashing ROMs so bad!
Actually thinking about going ahead and going through the hole lease for my S9 plus I love this phone so much so I can get an unlock code from Sprint so I can start flashing some amazing ROMs that I'm sure are out there!

If you have a locked bootloader, you cannot boot custom binaries, so no it's not possible.

Flashing an official ROM will only reset your counter back to 7 days.
This is because your RMM state is 'Prenormal' You can check this value in download mode.
In your case, Sounds like the counter hasn't started. Probably because you didn't insert a SIM or login to your Samsung Cloud account. You'll have to do this for the counter to start.

you can reboot your phone, go into download mode and even turn your phone off, it does not effect the counter that starts when you first "go to jail".
You don't even need a SIM Card in the phone -I took the Sim out of my S8 plus and it still got the OEM unlock option back after 7 days.
In fact it is possible you need to reboot first - then check OEM to see if it has returned. I know I did. When My S8 went to jail - after 7 days the OEM was not back when it should have been. I rebooted the phone and it was there after that.
Good luck my friend.

I didn't want to give ASUS a heads up on the issue, but I don't care anymore. You can use a "raw" firmware to relock the bootloader. But this will not restore Over The Air (OTA) updates.

Ok, thank you much for the info. I just ordered the ASUS ROG Phone yesterday, coming from the Note9. Just trying to brush up on the device and recovery options etc before it arrives. Also hoping I have made a huge mistake. :laugh:

Here is a WW raw firmware; others can be found with Google:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78160485&postcount=24
For anyone still interested, according to the flashall.cmd packaged with the RAW firmware the relevant command seems to be "fastboot oem asus-csc_lk" @Tesla74 as the cmd file actually checks if the Bootloader was unlocked and then relocks it I don't think this is a mistake or something unintentionally done by Asus but wanted this way
Kind regards

Getting decryption working in custom recovery is giving me a headache. But I did not give up yet.
And root? No problem with that, I'm having magisk since long time...

Wow.. nice
It seems like there's a variant of the V60 that can be bootloader unlocked (the Euro ver.) and back when I had the V30 we did something similar where you would have to convert your NA variant (Or any variant that was not listed in LG's official bootloader unlocking site [EXCEPT T-MOBILE]) to the supported variant's firmware then flash the unlock.bin file.
I dont know how useful this will be for the V60 though, just sharing my previous experience just too scared to test this method on my daily driver.

Yes, european versions(mine) always get bootloader unlock. But from what I know it's impossible to unlock any other versions untill someone find an exploit. And since v60 isn't very popular I doubt there will be unlock for any other version of it(about european).

Only European version of v60 supports bootloader unlocking. So you can't get root.
That's why I'll never buy this. Will stick with my old LG which is good enough.
damn what a shame, such a great phone and yet not much interest in general.
According to Unlock Bootloader Support list from LG, LMV600EA is the only device ca n be root
with the long battery life and extra screen and stylus , the v60 might be my first daily driver thats not got root.
I used to use lots of apps for root, mainly firewall to block apps from internet use and UI apps for fast system navigation and non standard features, but most of these can now be done with non root apps and cloning apps with networking disabled now, so im feeling i might just survive without the few apps that do need root.

Hi, can you give me the hint how you catched the boot.img to patch magisk? I'm not able to dump it from the phone or extract from the original kdz-archive.
(bootloader is open, just missing the right stuff to flash)
Thanks
