5 months later . . . . i'm guessing the answer is, "not really". Too bad.
.

Help needed!
Is anybody kind enough to upload a recovery.img and boot.img for the stock rom?
My phone is halfway bricked because of my foolishness, but I could still enter (and only) the fastboot mode.
I cant pull any data from my phone so I`m guessing its the WW 13.6.6.15 maybe, since I never updated it after I first bought it.
I`m willing to try any version anyways since its useless anyways.(btw, the version shakalaca uploaded at his MEGA site didn`t work for me.)
Thank you very much in advance for you help.

Four things,
#1 AFAIK, the bootloader gets reset w/ the into of upgrades.
#2 No word on whether the bootloader works on upgrades.
#3 System, audio, & camera performance are already flawless, so you know what they say ... it it ain't broke . . . .
#4 Once boot loader is unlocked, & the ultra 3 is running TWRP ... you can install other / better audio / cameras any way, as well as kill bloat.

[Q] Where to get Official AOSP?

Hi guys.
I just realised (this is probably not news for averyone else)
that the ZU is in the list of official AOSP support, including 5.1 and an M preview.
The one in the Sony website needs to be compiled, but is there any zip I can easily flash to my phone using the custom recovery?
Also, will this rom be able to update automatically?
thanks!
Unfortunately no, you must compile it yourself. The closest firmware to AOSP is the Scrubber's port of GP edition ROM, which with root + Xposed + GravityBox is a perfect ROM, using it for a week now and I won't change it until Android M port from GP edition Hovewer, today (I hope) I am going to compile a Android M build for ZU, if you are interested I can host it somewhere.
Regards

Okay, I will try, fingers already crossed

Building guys, so far no errors I think it will be ready in an hour, then I will host it on my Gdrive
Regards
I wanted to ask the same thing, i's a big learning curve for a noob like me. That's awesome that somebody with nowledge can compile it and share, me and my friend want to try it out, especially for Dose and Storage Inherit functions
It is still compiling which is good and bad, good because it indicates there are no errors and bad because I probably won't make it today but I will host it as soon as I can and give you guys a link
Regards
EDIT:
Finished uploading ^^
EDIT 2:
Okay guys, here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4TtJUVLy_SlZ3NDUDVOVk5XaWs/view?usp=sharing
Flash everything except userdata.img, it will wipe all your data, including internal memory, so photos and stuff will be gone but if you don't care about them, you can flash it as well. Before install, wipe data in TWRP or other recovery. Flash using fastboot:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (not necessary)
fastboot flash data userdata.img (not necessary if you wiped data in recovery)
Of course, I am not responsible for broken Ultras etc. and it is only for unlocked bootloaders. I haven't tested it because of low battery but it should boot without any hiccups. Happy flashing!
Regards
Just flashed it. Okay, just at first glance I can say that it's totally not worth trying for you guys.
for me the Bluetooth Exchange is crashing constantly, very annoying.
the whole system is barebones as expected.
camera doesnt work at all, there is no SIM reception.
not exactly a daily driver, nice to see it booting, but that's that
EDIT:
Also I feel a bit cheater on by Sony.
This looks nothing like M build on Nexus devices, it even says Lollipop on the easteregg
No new features from M in settings. So, what is this, Sony lied?
Yup, at the first glance I thought that this is a Lollipop, exactly nothing new.
Bluetooth exchange crashed for me a few times but it stopped somehow and really, this thing is far from the M Preview from Nexus devices, I am a bit disappointed too
Regards

Latest Firmware Update by Samsung ...

Hey all ...
I juz received a software update on my Note 7 (SM-N930FD) ... it's 196Mb update and has the latest Android Security patch with many UI changes and tweaks like changed drop down notifications (like Android Nougat), smaller app icons in folders etc etc ...
Important thing is that after the update, the over all smoothness has been much much fluent and battery life is significantly improved ...
Taste of Nougat ....

Nice how is the ram management on the new update ?
[SM-N930FD] Download Firmware N930FXXU1BPH6 - first update 19/08/2016
Firmware info
Model name: Galaxy Note 7 (Dual SIM)
Model: SM-N930FD
Country: Vietnam

N930FXXU1BPH6_N930FOLB1BPH5_XXV_FULL_SAMFIRM.NET.zip
I can confirm the device is much smoother since upgrading, you can now change the screen resolution in the settings menu. Battery life seems much better then before. Ram management seems the same but I need to play with it a bit more.
Nice sounds like a good update
I hope t-mobile gets it soon!
Ram Management is improved but No Huge Improvement is what I can see ...
Aggressive background apps shut down is not there now but it still needs work to be done in order to meet the standard of multitasking that the device of this calibre and specs should have ...
But overall ... This new update seems to be what the phone would have been carrying out of box as most of us bought our phones way earlier than the official launch by Samsung in our corresponding regions ...
Finger Print ...
Finger Print is hell faster with this new update ...
Juz tap it when the screen is locked and unlocking is done straight from it ...
Very fast indeed ...
Huge Improvement ...
Can this be loaded to a N930F? Thanks!!!
can any one post the video... with new software update
I just got my device and updated it straight away and performed a factory reset. I also have the duos version but I think it only presented me with a 186Mb update.
Hi, need some guidence here please. So I just flashed the XSG firmware to my N930F and it's a multi CSC - take a look at the screenshots. The installed firmware is APGK but it seems there's the new BPH6 firmware available, but my phone is not finding it. Is this normal? Could the update be available for another CSC code but not mine?
Thanks for the help!!
I'm getting mixed signals here. In one thread, there's people saying games work very poorly after the update - but everyone saying it's working better with it - can you all report on how games are performing? Apparently you notice a difference after 10+ min of play on the octo core processor.
This BPH6 software update screw up alot of Note 7 N930FD for Singapore users, check the Note 7 Singapore thread, so becareful with this update.

Because Nougat isn't out for Note 7 yet, and won't be for quite some time.

What he said, plus the steps needed to root each version of Android changes. So it is absolutely impossible to know until the time comes. It had always been best practice to avoid taking an update until it is known about the rootability of that firmware.

DRM restoration

Hy! I've bought a used z2 with unlocked bootloader, only to realise that the camera quality really sucks, so I started to search this forum for solutions and found two methods to fix itdrm function restoration and elite kernel v3)

-https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-elitekernel-v1-t3427540
I'm really a noob. Could some of you explain me step-by-step how to install any of these on top of eXistenZ Marshmallow | v5.6.5, which I managed to install after a day of struggle and don't want to screw it up .
As I see the elite kernel can also provide better battery life when underclocked which is nice, but I would go for the better and more stable solution having the camera fix as my main goal. Thank you.

Thanks
Thanks to Samsung
How are you friend Valera! ?? First of all I appreciate this new port of samsung oreo. It is much better than the previous one due to the fact that it is from tablet to tablet. I installed it 2 hours ago and everything is wonderful, I'm probably my daily driver from now on. I will comment on bugs that I have found, some already mentioned in the OP. Camera does not work
- processing error when starting samsung account session
- blue filter
- gps seems to work
- I have a book cover and the screen does not turn on or off with the magnet
this is all for the moment, while I will continue watching a series in netflix with chromecast that works well in this rom, also the smart view. Thank you! It is a huge job!
Great ... I'm waiting port for t585 version. Good day!
which branch do you use ?? the TouchWiz-8.0? also if the book cover feature isn't working, i saw that the feature isn't enabled in your defcon.
Good morning!
I continue with this rom and it goes very well, but I have found one more problem and that is that the bluetooth is not activated.
Thank you very much for your great work!
Thanks man!!! Btw, can you add navbar? I reqlly would like to see ìt on a touchwizz rom for the tab a??
Nice work Valera. Waiting for t585 version hope you will fix camera also :good:
Hi all
Added port for lte version too.
Also I added small patch - I had remove encrypt data\sdcard, it's really annoying for me - I need backup\restore firmware, because I often back to los 15\16 and then back to port.

Yes, kernel the same, as for port before.
I'll check cover, may be not today, havn't time at all right now, on weekend I'm sure will be a version.
silly request, a link to your twrp please. I have twrp 3.1.1 on my T585 now, will it work ok?

Today there was a new stock 8.1 firmware for the P580 (same as our but with s-pen). This is our related tablet with same hardware. As result now we have ideal fully worked port. Right now for T580 only, soon I'll finish it for T585.
This is good, and I hope soon we will get original stock firmware too.
Another great news... btw spen futures can be removed? Because it is unuseful for T585.
On Sammobile you can download original 8.1 FW for p580, p585.

I am struggling to get the ROM working on my p580. With Odin it works but when I make a flash able zip with superr kitchen it stuck at the boot screen. Also the twrp isn't working. How do you got your twrp working on Oreo ?
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk
Oh Valera! why do you do it? LOL
Just kidding! You make me after a tired day of studies in the middle of the night I put to flash my tablet! Hahaha
The port from the Tab P580 must surely go even better, so I'll download it right away, thank you very much for all your great work!
And apparently the official rom oreo for our Tab A T580 / 585 will be launched soon, or so we hope. Maybe this will help future development.
Thank you very much Valera!

Of course, rom flashed on my tab T580, this version of the P580 works great, I did not find a single error. Thank you very much for this great work.
It is very fast, there is more ram available with respect to nougat, I really love it, new daily driver!
Greetings Valera and thanks for everything
The first problem that is detected so far is that the bluetooth is not activated
Yeah, bluetooth won't turn on in the P580 port.

ASUS ROG Phone 3 (ZS661KS) - Stock factory firmware downloads (Untested)

Hi all,
I know the phone was just announced and nobody outside of reviewers has the device yet, but I thought I would share some firmware downloads for archival purposes. I have not personally tested these, but hopefully, they'll come in handy down the road for anyone looking to restore their device back to stock.
WW_ZS661KS_17.0821.2005.25_M2.23.3.6-ASUS_1.1.7_Phone-user.raw.zip
Thanks to XDA Recognized Developer @deletescape for sharing the firmware!
Edit 1: ASUS has published the full OTA package for software version WW-V17.0823.2007.25. You can download it here along with the kernel source code and bootloader unlock tool.

I don't know - this is totally untested. I suspect the same steps as the ROG Phone II (but with slight tweaks here and there) will work on the ROG Phone 3 to convert from CN to WW. When I converted my CN ROG Phone II to WW, it wasn't that difficult to do, but that came off the backs of dozens of users experimenting to get the steps down right. Here, nobody has tried it yet, so I can't say how it'll go...
