Let's root this sucker!
I believe that it can be rooted with z4root or universal one click root. Don't have the phone yet, but planning to get one from a local carrier here
Yes mine was rooted with z4root.

Should I get it?
I might get this phone, if I root it are there ROMs that I can put on it?
Well now we have a complete dedicated IDEOS thread here so ROMs and mods will follow in due course of time. I don't thing there are any custom roms available for this handset until now, but I am hopeful that things might change soon.
Z4root worked like a charm here.

Bounty for ROM
Sorry for the cross post, but we have a Bounty out right now for a Custom ROM for the S7 at www.androidtablets.net. I believe we are currently up to $170 for a 2.2 ROM.

That's great news! I have just 3 days to return mine. If I don't get a "custom rom" that works or and official update to 2.2 on the S7 I am taking it back. This is BS that the company won't officially announce whether they are going to release 2.2 on the current device or not.
Ok so I've been wondering for a long time now, how exactly does one root. I mean i know HOW to root with z4 or nandroid. (I'm typing this on my rooted ideos s7). Ive rooted a droid incredible, a droid 1 (twice) a droid x, i just rooted my friends droid 2. But all it is is just downloading this zip installing that apk, i am glad it is easy enough t o do, i am just wondering if anyone could Point me in the right direction where i could find a more indepth explination.
I have never taken a computer class in my life. Everything i have ever learned about programing i taught myself, in light of this I want to try and cook up a rom myself. Also winning challenges sounds fun too. i know i am little more than script kiddie level, but if anyone is kind enough to point me in the right direction, hopefully I can figure out how to customize a rom for this tablet. Thanks. p. S. I say never rely on the manufacture to "give" you any updates, if we want them and i say we do, then we should all work together and pool our resources/info to get the job done. DYI all the way.
generally a rooting program exploits a security hole in the software/hardware to inject code and give itself root access, and it is then allowed to install busybox and superuser programs, thats pretty much it.
Huawei Ideos S7 will NOT be creating an update to Android 2.2 update for the device.
This is my post that I am re-posting on from
Site: Androidtablet .com
Thread: Android 2.2 update for Huawei - Ideos 7" Tablet S7
From JackJack:
I emailed this to them on their website:
I have recently bought an Huawei Ideos S7 with the promise that Android 2.2 will be available for this product VERY SOON. I also bought several of these as presents for friends and family. In addition I reviewed this product on my blog and other "tech sites". I gave it a VERY HIGH RATING, BUT depending on the 2.2 release I was promised at Best Buy here in the US.
I NEED to know if and when Android 2.2 will be available for this device or I will be returning them all by Friday. I will also write about this on my blog and other "tech" sites and tell everyone to NOT BUY an Huawei Ideos S7. I will tell them this product is TERRIBLE without Android 2.2. It is SEVERELY handicapped by 2.1.
PLEASE REPLY ASAP or I will act soon.

JackJack, I am not sure who your sources are but here is what I have found out:
I emailed Huawei on their website and told/asked them this:
"I have recently bought an Huawei Ideos S7 with the promise that Android 2.2 will be available for this product VERY SOON. I also bought several of these as presents for friends and family. In addition I reviewed this product on my blog and other "tech sites". I gave it a VERY HIGH RATING, BUT depending on the 2.2 release I was promised at Best Buy here in the US.

It is SEVERELY handicapped by 2.1.
PLEASE REPLY ASAP or I will act soon."
They responded to me today from the email:
[email protected]
This was the header of the email:
华为终端部门对您反馈的信息给予回复
They then said:
"Dear Sir/ Madam
thank you for your appreciation to our S7,we do not have plan for Andriod 2.2 at present , you could visit our website ,the latest news concerning Andriod-based device would be posed the first time at here."
Thanks
So this is pretty much proof in my mind that Huawei Ideos is working on the replacement for the S7 that will contain 2.2 or 2.3.
I AM SUPER PISSED OFF ABOUT THIS!
Can someone "on the inside" give us a definitive answer on this? I was promised an upgrade to 2.2 at purchase time at Best Buy, So if Huawei does not fix this ASAP I will no longer be their customer.
This topic should be the 1St sticky on this board about the Ideos S7 because there should be a warming to people thinking about buying it. With out 2.2 it is can barley hold 20 apps. That is pretty God damn bad.
I am begging for "at least" a ROM for that device running on 2.2 But I would MUCH rather the company released an "official" version.
PLEASE! Keep me posted on this I have until Monday to Return it
-Ben
I am desperately waiting for a working ROM or the "official" update!
Why the threatening tone?

This sounds like a standard, non-committal canned response; I wouldn’t consider it “proof”. Huawei is a very large company and it is not surprising the person answering web inquiries would not know the latest developments until they are actually pushed out. And even then...

Yes the seemingly unused internal 8GB is a bummer but I think the S7 is pretty damn capable as is and for the money hard to beat. Would 2.2 make it better? Of course but TERRIBLE without? Not in my opinion. Regardless of whether Huawei pushes out 2.2 or not it will be available through the community.

Continued development of meizu m9 rom is in progress watch this space for updates I'm from desire HD forums but have a nexus one at hand, first thing we need to do is fix wifi.
half way there with Wifi
Then we get onto Microphone
good to see that dev number is not decreasing..
Nice man! Definitely going to keep an eye on this thread!
This is great news!!! it would have been sad to let this rom go wastes.. definitely looking fwd to updates. Thanks man!!!
i Have my own rom as well on the desire hd forums so that will be my main priority but i am working on this as well, so far half way to fixing wifi, it can find wireless networks, but wont connect.
Thanks for this, don't hesitate to put your progress here, maybe you'll find another dev who wants to help you in this project.
Good news, I'll keep an eye on this thread
Looking like its going to be a hard project
But I'm up for a challenge

Since you are already working on WiFi this won't matter too much, but I think getting the mic working should be first priority.

Hey I LOVE YOU. I love meizus rom soo much. It's sad that the original dev for the M9 rom stopped. BUT YOU'RE HERE! WOOT.
On a serious note, I really think Voice would be much more important than wifi. And if you've tried the previous alpha, you'd see that when you pull up the colors are changed ( negatived? ) I hope you can keep that. I think it's pretty neat. Although that's not supposed to happen. I tried the official Meizu M9 before.
I'm still trying been involved with another development thing recently, need to buy another nexus one as i gave mine to a friend to use while there phone is being fixed 4-5 weeks.
I had got wifi working partially but then it froze..
Hey Everyone,
I am very new to the Android Community. I have recently Upgraded to the UK Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE Ready International (EE/Orange/T-Mobile). I hope to have a few other Android devices in the near future. (Nexus 10 or Nexus 7)
I have to say I love it. After playing around with it for a week. I have realised how imprisoned I was with the iPhone even after Jailbreaking.
I am now thinking of rooting the device. I have done serious reading on XDA about the I9305 and people were sort of on the fence with getting it, as support for the development will be limited, the modem of this particular model uses a Qualcomm Chip. Obviously once more people invest in the I9305, more roms/mods will be ported.
I would love to see Cyanogenmod or ParanoidAndroid ported to this device. Only time will tell but I am really impatient. LOL
How would I get these guys to port?
What is the general waiting time with these things?
I don't want to come across as rude. To be honest im perfectly happy with the stock JB+Touchwiz but I love to tinker with things.
Regards
bleepsake
same here. cant wait for some roms to be ported.
by the way it was in part due to your youtube vid that i upgraded to this device:good:
awesome thanks dude. editing the review of this phone. the review is based on someone that wants to upgrade to an android phone coming from an iOS'ers point of view.

I would also like to know how long it usually takes for roms to get ported. I'm getting my phone this week and I can't wait to replace the stock firmware.
If there is a big enough demand i can see it happening but maybe not roms like CM due to the fact they don't own one

Okay.. So here goes..
Elephone s8 purchased 2 months ago.. I'm with you guys when I see the frustration all you guys have with this phone..
You may have noticed this morning that Elephone has released not such an update but a patch so to say.
I Really dont want nor trust this company.. Its an unofficial update that will probably be aload of rubbish anyway.
Now I have been looking at skeletons ROM on here.. is it good? do you still use it? Is there anything new since?
Im just fed up and hoping you guys can shed some light.. Im petrified on where to start to even flash my phone as ive read up about devices being'bricked'? but willing to just to get something that is sufficient.
I merely ask as you guys are the guys to ask.. The leaders IMO in everything android.
Any information would be greatly appreciated
Eragon is already dead. Skeleton has abandoned the project so no updates has been made since his last one.
I have not tried it nor the custom rom that was released on Elephone forums.

I suggest just using AEROM. Aerom is better than stock and Eragon. Aerom will be updated soon. And aerom fixed lot of bugs.

Erikki123 man I hope you're right.
how do you know about the update? can you share a link?
we're really hoping for oreo here for more than a year
You can download the new rom here but I wouldn't recommend it:
https://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-14242-1-1.html
I have tried all three roms but the stock rom worked best for me. Additionally I flashed twrp and installed supersu for root.
I don't expect any future updates for the AEROM. I think they brought this out as kind of compensation because there will be no android 8 for this device. For me it caused more problems than it solved but experiences may be different on this special phone.
Edit: link corrected
I have tried all three too, and for now I stick to Eragon anyway.
I have contacted Elephone and can confirm that S8 and P8 are officially "dead", indeed.
That's disappointing, mainly because Elephone had started a campaign a year ago (or so) and promised at least two years of support from then on.
But then I have known Elephone from their previous flagships, owning both M3 and P9000, so I'm not really surprised.
But then they did a MUCH better job at bugfixing with M3/P9000 than thay did with S8. At least P8 is running rather flawlessly.
Please also find all required files for rooting the Elephone S8 at:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/k1ldc..._root.rar/file
I hope this helps.
As u may know , right now there is nothing else on xda than touchwiz mods , most of devs went private to other forums . This tread was made to inform u about progress of custom stuff on note8/s8/s8+
____________________
Project treble progress : Note 8 didn't support treble out of the box , if u heard , galaxy a5 2017 got treble support . Same guy who ported treble there , will port it here .
Note 8
Project status on 25.09.18: Developer got modded files so it wont take long time in order to boot it . Then its just fixing stuff
Project status on 29.09.18: Developer made fully working twrp with treble support . Still working on roms
Project status on 02.10.18: Developer is in hospital in bad shape . I wouldnt expect anything from him cuz he will stay in there 2 weeks
S8/S8+
Project status 25.09.18 : When treble on note 8 will be released , "s" will need talented developer in order to get it ported . But there is really small chance that it MAY work without any modifications
____________________
Custom roms progress : u may ask what's the point of making custom Roms if treble is almost working ? Well , because developer made almost bugless 8.1 rom without working gps and bt . He stopped working on 8.1 and start working on 9.0 .
Note 8
Custom roms status 25.09.18: First version of Android p ( lineageOS16 ) should* be working tomorrow . Then if everything will be fixed , testers will get roms ( Edit made 26.09.18 ) . Not booting . Too many problems with selinux
Custom roms status 01.10.18: Developer is still working on it and fixing bugs . I personaly would expect this rom this week ( month? ) but no idea . Every1 is waiitng
S8/S8+
Custom roms status 25.09.18 : Those phones got bugless lineageos15.1 from few weeks . When p will get released on note 8 , there will be need to mod kernel to get it ported .
Custom roms status 02.10.18 : Well , I guess that note 8 wont be first . s8/s8+ got lineageOS16 . No idea what about bugs etc but its booting . No ril ( or rid . I am tired so I dont remeber . I talk about calling , messaging etc ) Nothing was relased 4 testers yet .

According to 1 of them :
"Xda toxicity is really huge . Sorry, but it is not about any device forum or section. It is about rules which are applied in last couple of years. It is also about the young generation who wants to 'show-up' or 'show-off', method doesn't matter. Also something which is just in addition but which I am scared and simply pissed off on - basic grown human skill which is READING is dead... Idk why - maybe ebooks, YT, social media or education at school. Clearly something failed. For Telegram, teaching on this skill or the other way around kicking off lazyness from some asses is pretty easy, however xda not."
So according to ur question, galaxy 8 generation devs went mostly on telegram where u need link "access" from some1 inside . I was trying to invite people here on telegram group about note 8 development . As u can see I have new acc so there is only 1 reason 4 that . I won't send links to any1 , just wait 4 progress . There are 3 devs working on it right now . 1 who made bugless lineageOS15 for s8/s8+ left even telegram because "it's too toxic " . 1 dev continue his work with all his files on note 8 . So if dev is good , p should be working in this week . Dev is offline from yesterday so no info right now . 1 guy is porting treble and 1 guy is trying to make aosp rom on s8 . As soon as something new come , I'll edit my post here
THIS IS GREAT NEWS. I WANT AN AOSP ROM SOOO BAAADD. YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING.... so what do you think, how long until people can start testing the roms out?

Yes.. it's sad. I remember when this was a developer website and not where kids come to cry. You can look at what happened to me2151 one of the major devs from snapdragon has to abandon the device due to the morons who can't use search function in his thread.. unless bigcountry can work magic on the bootloader our device is now EOL only one year later(N950U)... I've thought about trying to do some work for the phone before, but I would never be able to release anything because of the general masses pure stupidity...
I PMed me2151 around the release of samfail, his response was genuine, thought out, and in length. I recently tried to contact him again and got a one line sort of dismissive response. It's sad what the community did to him. Is xda eol?

How about some privacy? You people join telegram groups just to stalk and share info outside and start rumors.
Project treble is on halt for unlimited time.

What I meant, was what will it benefit us to have Project Treble? It doesn't mean we're suddenly going to get faster and more frequent updates. Even though it'll be ported and working, Samsung doesn't have support for Project Treble on the Note 8, so they won't adapt their updates to it.
Basically, I think it's pointless to port Project Treble. Unless the intention is entirely just for custom ROM devs to incorporate it so they can deliver better updates, which I also doubt will happen.
Sounds interesting but you shouldnt get peoples hopes up from seeing a telegram group or whatsoever. No source no work. If the guy is working on it then thanks to him but as far as i experienced from "private groups" i dont really hope that much
Also i assume that you are not a dev but someone in their group, i wonder if you asked permission from them to give news in here.
I would like treble nor p on note8, no offense but sharing infos about a development with no source or evidence that we could see or believe, then im afraid that no one will care about those news if they had enough. If they release it in xda or any other platform, then fine we would respect but reading so called "news-infos" in here, this just seems to me like other fake news.
