I recently bought a DHD - wich I immediatly rooted - and I was going to subscribe the HTCsense.com service because I want to try the car panel*.
I red the terms and conditions of the service, but I didn't subscribe the service for the content of the article 10:
10. HTC Content; Proprietary Rights; License; Updates.
[...] HTC may from time to time send you updates to the Software which may be automatically downloaded and installed to your device. [...] You hereby agree that HTC may automatically deliver these updates to you and you will receive and install them on your device as required.
Could that mean that by subscribing this service you can be forced, willing or not (automatically downloaded and installed), to install HTC updates (with the obvious risk of losing root privileges)?
What do you think?
Thanks for your opinions
*My bad, to use the car panel it's not necessary to subscribe to htcsense.com, but i'm still curious about your opinions

sense.com cannot remove your superusser permission
and the updates are not for the rom concretly... are for the sense files and "sense.com privileges"
but i know that subscribe to sense hub... Literally the battery is drunk at a few hours...
is this that you are answering concretly?
I see your point. You're basically sayin that the HTCsense.com updates are solely intended as updates of just the apps/programs related to that service.
But I was wondering if the updates listed in the agreement could be more like an OTA ROM mandatory update wich could result to be more difficult or impossibile to root (I previously had a wildfire and I was so stupid to make the OTA update wich at the moment is rootable only with the goldcard).
Thus the risk to lose the SU privileges.
P.s. I have been in valencia in march for the fallas, I like your city a lot.

you has a WEE STOCK OFFICIAL RUU???? or a custom rom?
if you have a custom rom án oficial OTA it´s not going...
but if you have an stock rom you can decide if accept or not... all android versions for desire hd can be rooted but it´s more difficult when you upgrade....
i recommend to you for not lost superuser permissionss (root acces) that flash a custom rooted rom (froyo, gingerbread... judge by yourself)
if yo don´t want to update REJECT THE UPDATE VIA OTA simply.
htc sense actuallizations are unable to change your android version its diferent than update the ROM.
PD:Great election go here to see THE FALLAS mate!! see my profile photo, i´m dressed of "fallero" with my wife!! LOLOLOL

* Your warranty is void.
* I do not offer any guarantees that this will work or that it won't cause any
bad side effects.
* You alone are responsible for any damages or other issues that may arise

This has undergone basic testing on multiple devices running supported ROMs, but
again, there are no guarantees. Use it at your own risk.
In particular, OTA updates have not been tested on rooted devices.
Introduction
What Is This?
The FonePad 7 has a very secure stock ROM that is not vulnerable to any known exploit. But fortunately for us, Asus introduced their own vulnerability in it, which we can take advantage of. This is a guide that will help you root your FonePad 7 using that vulnerability.
How Does It Work?
Overplayed, Cool-Sounding Version
OTADelusion exploits multiple critical security vulnerabilities in the over-the-air update mechanism employed by the FonePad 7 -
The update delta packages are delivered to the device through an unencrypted medium.
The device can be configured to use any DNS server and it does not verify DNS query responses.
The package verification process relies on an asymmetric key-pair whose private key is compromised.
A man-in-the-middle attack is performed while downloading an OTA update by forcing the device to use a rogue DNS server which directs the device to connect to a rogue web server. This web server serves malicious update packages with forged cryptographic signatures. These update packages are designed to install a permanent backdoor in the device, allowing the user full access to it.
Down-To-Earth Version
Someone at Asus forgot the 'S' in 'HTTPS'
Someone at Asus forgot to replace the test Android signing key with their own
1 + 2 = Pwnage
What Do I Need To Use It?
A FonePad 7 running a supported version of the stock ROM (check the section below for a list of supported versions)
A working Wi-Fi connection (this will NOT work on 2G or 3G)
Supported ROM Versions
Go to Settings -> About tablet and check the "Build number" field
3.2.2 - NOT supported. Upgrade to 3.2.4
3.2.4 - Supported (WW and TW)
5.1.6 - NOT supported. I need volunteers to help me test.
5.2.2 - Supported (WW)
5.2.5 - NOT supported. May be added in the future. Check this thread for updates.

Installation Instructions
Follow these steps -
Read the disclaimer at the top of this post.
Make sure you're connected to a WiFi connection, NOT 2G/3G.
Go to Settings -> About tablet -> System Update and check for updates.
When you see the update prompt, select "NO"
Go to Settings -> Apps -> scroll to the "All" tab -> CMClient
Press the "Force Stop" button
Press the "Clear Data" button
Repeat the above steps with DMClient in the Apps list
Go to Settings -> WiFi -> long press on your network -> Modify Network and follow these steps -
Set IP Settings to "Static"
Note down the values of DNS 1 and DNS 2 somewhere.
Set DNS 1 to <snip>
Make DNS 2 blank
At this point, your Internet connection will stop functioning correctly. This is intended and temporary.
Repeat step 3. If it shows an error, reboot and repeat this step.
Make sure you get an update called "OTADelusion".
Download and install the update.
After reboot, go back to WiFi settings and restore the previous values of DNS 1 and DNS 2.
You now have root. Enjoy! But also be careful - there is currently no way to de-brick this device if you screw up.

Status
Running an update server costs actual money, so I won't be able to keep it running indefinitely. I expect to be able to keep it running through 2014 at least, but there are no guarantees. It can go offline at any time. The address mentioned may also change at times. This post will be updated if that happens. Server taken down because there is now an offline method.
Current Server Status: Offline
Thanks for the hard work man, hope you are able to solve the other versions as well. :good:
Hey, just a thinking. If Asus can update the "update" app, maybe you can too, and then send any updates (and modification) you want, no?
If it's possible, we have a big posibility in here i think

It's certainly possible, but a much cleaner solution would be to get a working recovery. The bootloader is locked, but it looks like it's not encrypted. There may be a way to make it accept a custom recovery.
But we need someone who's willing to take the risk of possible bricking and test the recovery on their device.
I think that it could be a good idea to open one of our devices, to see if there's some JTAG (or thing like that) to have a fully trustable backup option.
after rooting my ME372CG, can it download upgrading package automatically and upgrade to newer version firmware?

It hasn't been tested yet. I would suggest you don't, at least until somebody else confirms that it works.
I do suspect that there is some code in the OTA package that triggers a ROM verification in the bootloader, but I'm not sure.
Either way, if somebody's willing to take the risk, let me know. I can make a modified update package that should reduce the risk of bricking.
Hi, Dr. Psycho
Thank you for your quick reply.
I am using 5.2.2 firmware, so need to waiting for next rooting opportunity..
BTW, after rooting, if can't download upgrading package automatically, is there any way to flash the package manually (if i can download it from somewhere)?

The only way is to do what I'm doing with this guide. You'll need to run a fake DNS server and a web server and fool the tablet into downloading your package. If you're on the latest version of the stock ROM, you'll need to either patch the DMClient app or install a self-signed CA certificate (not through Settings, you'll need to copy it to /system).
This thread has a lot of information for those interested, especially in the last ten or so pages: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514714
EDIT: Just realized you might talking about official updates. Those will be downloadable and installable, but we don't know if it'll work. It might brick your device.
What I wrote above was for custom mods.
This will all become much easier if we get a working recovery.
Yes, I mean official ROM upgrading after rooting. Sorry for the confusing.
I am waiting for Android 4.4, I don't know when Asus can release it for ME372CG. I don't want rooting affect ROM upgrading in the future.
Your answer is quite clear, thanks!

Hello all!!!
Dr. Psycho, I confirm your solution is working!!!!.... Thank you very much... I bought the device today, based on your solution to root the phone... Thank you again...
Theodore
Thanks! working great here
I noticed that some JP (as opposed to WW and TW) FonePad 7 users are trying to use my server to root. The JP version isn't supported yet (I didn't even know it existed). I can add it if someone with the JP version could help me get some values from their device. It'll only take a couple of minutes. Send me a private message if you're interested.
To check if you're using the JP version, go to Settings -> About tablet and check the "Build number" field. It should say "JP" somewhere in the middle.
Botto00 rooted the original Fonepad and made it Flash capable. There are several Flash browsers (Photon, Flashfox, Puffin), but because the Flash stream is redirected it's not a good viewing experience. I was wondering If you had any plans to incorporate Flash in your rooting method? I've already taken advantage of your root and maybe it's too late anyhow.

If I did come up with patches or ROMs, already having root would't be a problem at all. It shouldn't be too hard to make an app that instructs the bootloader to flash a package like DMClient does. Even if it turns out to be difficult, with root access, I can easily hijack the update-checking mechanism with a self-signed CA certificate and a web server, similar to how we're achieving root right now.
I did in fact have plans to make a recovery or at least an app that would act like a minimalistic recovery and let you flash recovery packages. The problem is, I'd need either a test device or a daring volunteer. And time too - I don't have much of that right now.

I quite understand time limitations working on stuff like this - I think everyone appreciates the time and effort you've spent on rooting Fonepad 7.
I followed the procedure in the link. Unfortunately, it doesn't work... maybe that fix is for machines that still support Flash.
Would I dare to volunteer? Hmm... now that I've got root I don't think I would risk it.

USB OTG
Hi, i know this is not the right tread to ask but since there is not forum about our tablet i'll ask here. I have a fonemap 7 ME372GC the 4 GB version (witch by the way doesn't appear on Asus page) and i'm not able to use usb OTG. Is this not possible on our tablets or does mine have something wrong? I have 5.22 rom version andoid 4.3. I use an OTG cable witch is working on my HTC One
Thank you for your help
Let's root it again
Hi Dr. Psycho,
I just got a Asus fonepad 7 model: k00E (ME372CG) and I will put some more data about this device:
- Firmware version: 54.2F
- Android version: 4.2.2
- Baseband version: 1338G_1.12.0_0913
- Kernel version : 3.4.34-00006-gc3b491f
[email protected] #1
Fri Sep 13 21:24:31 CST 2013
- Build number: JDQ39.WW_epad-V3.2.1-20120913
000053_201307241030
It seems as this is the older version of the build then 3.2.4 but it is well WW.
Should I upgrade to version 3.2.4 (and can you explain me how to do this but still to avoid ASUS upgrading to even newest version) or may I try to update this "OTADelusion" update directly with this "old" build number following the instructions ?
And is there any risk of bricking my device with rooting following this method as you stated that there is no way to de-brick Asus fonepad 7 yet ?
Or is there any other (older and safer) way to root this older build version except this "OTADelusion" ?
Thanks in advance !
Cheers !

Today (Jan 8, 2015) I've received the same update ! The Update size is exactly 307.86MB.
I was happy to see a Software update notification as I'm expecting Lollipop Update to my D820, but it is't Lollipop update, it is a update for existing Android KitKat 4.4.4.
Let's hope Lollipop will be our next update

There's no official word from HTC for lollipop update on desire 820.
Hope it will be updated because its run on 64bit and lollipop is for 64bit.
So according to this hope it will definitely update to lollipop.
Otherwise there is no need for 64bit on this device because kitkat is running on 32bit only.

is D820t dual sim? how is it different from D820u? somebody please upload screenshots of Phone Identity and Software Info.
D820u dual china model.
About this procedure:
1. If phone is rooted with custom recovery, its not possible install ota but can it check and find it?
2. While restoring stock recovery, debug usb seting must be enabled,fastboot setting disabled. Then, phone should enter in fastboot mode also, via adb.

Thanks for sharing this. I currently use T-Mobile in the US. Have you tested the ROM with the T-Mobile carrier and do the added ADC files affect anything while using T-Mobile (VoLTE, HD Voice, etc)?
I have partially been following another forum that was working to boot loader unlock the Idol 4s for Windows 10 mobile. I don't think this ROM was a result of that, but do you know of any other news?

No, I have not tested it. I have IDOL4S Open from Microsoft.
You can mention that there is a provxml file to install Yandex.Search.appxbundle in the IDOL4S_6071W_F1052.16.09031.50700_Open_RTM_10.0.15 254.490_Custom ROM. It is not in the T-Mobile ROM though.
This is a useful scenario too for some of us who might want to Edit the registry on the IDOL 4s outside of the current changes in these ROMs. Mount the bin file save the edits and flash the changes. Do you know if making changes such as reg edits would require an altered or updated rawprogram0.xml? Thanks.

Ok. I can test it later and if issues occur I could possibly change out those ADC files for the T-Mobile files.

The following My Account T-Mobile USA, Hulu Plus, Uber, Captain Fellcraft VR, and Zombie VR apps have been removed in ROM. Left other VR-applications, but with the possibility of removal. Added app Yandex.Search.

I don't know what you're trying to say. The layout of the sections does not change, the size of the sections does not change. Why should change rawprogram0.xml. Data in rawprogram0.xml is taken from GPT, these are rawprogram0.xml is best for this ROM.

Replacement ADC only in ROM F1052.16.09031.50700_Open_RTM. ROM F1050.14.08011.53400_TMOUS_Retail is initial, this replacement was not made.

Sorry my fault. It has been a while since working with qc loaders and program xml files. For some reason I was thinking rawprogram0.xml contained the space used by the partitions not the whole partition size.

I am having an issue on the custom ROMs being able to sign in with my Microsoft account while setting up the phone. It either locks up/freezes the set up process, or fails. I think it fails while checking account info and it never pulls the backups to restore. Ultimately the account will be signed in but can only move forward after skipping the step entirely to be able to set up the rest of the phone.
Is this just me or have you noticed an issue?

It's not a bug, but a feature Only in custom ROM F1050.14.08011.53400_TMOUS_Retail. Associated with reset protection packets. They are in this firmware test. So it will be with the official ROM F1050.14.08011.53400_TMOUS_Retail, if you update it above 15063.2.

What is being tested exactly?
I need to be able to restore a backup on the IDOL 4s. If I can't then certain apps don't function at all.

On the versions above 15063.2 reset protection is activated automatically by logging into your account, with no choice of disabling it. And in this firmware of packets of protection against reset in MainOS is not present.

I'm sorry I did not word that so you understood. I meant why is your custom ROM set as an older firmware? The fw revision of the T-Mobile firmware is older than the official production one on most phones. I am assuming you used this version to customize a ROM for some reason.

In the last official ROMs is there a BDS Menu and Mass Storage mode? The question is rhetorical

Well yes of course! One would have their work cut out for them if they did not have to manually build those items into a ROM on their own. Was hoping maybe you had plans to incorporate those items into an updated or different firmware if possible. One that would allow restoring of a backup, and had reset protections bugs fixed . No worries about that though, was only wishful thinking.

This is already included in the custom ROM IDOL4S_6071W_F1052.16.09031.50700_Open_RTM_10.0.15254.490.

Ok I will try it out again. I thought I tried to restore a backup on Both ROMs and failed to with the same bug.
For some reason on the Open market Custom ROM the ndtk packages are not active after flashed or not working. Maybe it is just me but I can't edit the registry, enable Interop services or full file system access from Interop Tools until I send the packages again even though they are there. Plus I have to make other changes to it as well for T-mobile nvi settings.

The Open market Custom ROM should not have this error with backup recovery.

New Issues on Idol 4S using custom ROM
Installed TMOUS version of this custom ROM (Thank you OP for your efforts!) on August 8 and was delighted to uninstall the remaining VR apps. As nate0 posted earlier, I couldn't sign in during the initial setup, and was not able to restore earlier backups as expected. Phone is TMOUS retail locked (so far - longtime TMO customer awaiting billing cycles on this phone for unlock code).
Since then M$ has updated the OS build to 10.0.15254.527. Things keep breaking faster than I can keep track of - and not sure which are a function of 1) the custom ROM, 2) the Idol 4S, or 3) Microsoft desire to chase us away. New issues include:
Amazon - crashes at launch
Microsoft Wallet (v. 2.3.17311.0) - allowed me to scan 1 loyalty card successfully, then refuses to recognize/scan codes,
"CameraAccessDenied" error message
Flashlight (v. 4.0.0.0 Sakariya) - no longer can turn led on/off (Flashlight XT still works fine)
People (v. 10.2.2001.1000) - live tile stopped working after about a week, can't get it to work at all anymore
Translator (v. 4.8.7.0) - live tile works for about 1 day, then remove, disable/enable to restore function for another day
Microsoft Store - (v. 11807.1001.13.0) - live tile works for about 1 day, then same as Translator
My Library this morning shows about 1/3 of my apps that were listed last week ???
I'm trying to install the Global ROM V425 using the official method given on Nubia's website, but it's not working. If anyone can help me solve the problem, I'll be so grateful!
I downloaded V425 from the official download page and copied the NX669J-update.zip file to the root directory of the phone, then tried to do the update as follows:
Settings >> System Update >> ... >> Local update >> select the file >> Only install
After about 10 seconds, I got this error:
Upgrade package and the current phone version does not match, can not be updated, please check the current version is obtained from the official channel
I'm not sure what to do now, and having seen that error message I'm now afraid that if I try any other method for the update I might brick the phone, since I've already been warned that the software is not compatible.
The current software version is NX669J_CNCommon_V7.14 and when I checked for updates I got a message telling me the current version is the latest.
Phone info...
Model: NX669J-P
Red Magic OS: V4.5
Build number: NX669J_CNCommon_V7.14
Android version: 11
Hardware version: NX669J_V1AMB
Thanks for reading and I hope you can help!

UPDATE: I noticed that in the About Phone section the device name is "腾讯红魔游戏手机6Pro" which translates to "Tencent Red Magic Game Phone 6Pro".
Seems it might be the Tencent version of the phone. Could this be the reason I'm getting the error message? Is it possible to put the Global ROM on the Tencent version?
Hi,
I am originally using global version with the latest updated v4.25 rom since September and i think you are using the tencent set with CN rom installed on your device. Why would you change to global? Is it cooler with CN rom? I bet you will regret you will lose so many features that you can get on CN if you are migrating to the Global rom.
The main reason is that the phone's current ROM doesn't have Google apps/services
Is it possible to sideload Google apps onto this device with current ROM or the only way is to flash global ROM?

If i am not mistaken, you can download the PlayStore from apkpure website - https://m.apkpure.com/google-play-store/com.android.vending and start to use Google application afterwards once successfully installed on the CN rom device you are using.
Thanks a lot - maybe I have been overcomplicating this issue! Will check and see if j can get it installed

That's fine. But some Google apps will not working at all eg like Gmail or Google Duo (i am not very sure exactly) because it still recognise your device status. You may check one by one any Google apps downloaded from the PlayStore later
