Over the past few days, I have been working on a new version of Seven-Eighter based off of the source code that Jaxbot kindly provided. I have made numerous improvements to the original version.
One of those improvements is instead of embedding the links to the update files as strings in the actual program, my version of Seven-Eighter downloads a config file from the internet which contains the links to the update files. In this manner, you, the user, do not have to download a new version of the program every time Microsoft releases a new update for Windows Phone 7.x. All I have to do on my end when a new update comes out is to just update the config file once I find links for the new update.
Some more improvements include improved error handling and some better instruction to help you with the update process. If you haven't yet, you should really check it out. I am curious as to what people think of my version compared to the original.
You can find the link to download my version of Seven-Eighter on my blog here: http://bit.ly/ZOzAz9
Now as such, I am always looking to improve. I welcome any and all suggestions. If you want to throw something my way to help with development you are welcome to do so, but not required (your satisfaction works just as well, check my signature for instructions).
Nice work!

To be honest, I didn't test my version of Seven-Eighter with a custom rom image (only stock factory rom image). What build is it currently running?
I have the exact same question.
I pretty much bricked by bootlaoder on my AT&T HD7S using the initial version of SevenEighter from jaxbot and now can't even use the gold card method to downgrade since I need it unlocked.
My RGB bootloader screen only shows one line of text at the top in the red and nothing in the white space where it should say USB HOST/Loader Mode.
But at least I had a 7.5 Zune backup that I can restore to, the only thing being that it doesn't restore my bootloader.
So, question is, can I use your software to upgrade to a custom unlocked 7.8?
Thank you!
I was finally able to get my Focus S upgraded to 7.8. Got tired of waiting. I had a problem with the application and had to close it. when I relaunched, it continues where it left off. Nice! I left the update.log just in case.
Now I just need to unlock it for side loading. Anyone recommend ways that still work? Thanks.

Screenshot please ?
anybody updated at&t titan 2 to 7.8?
Yes. The seveneighter app worked perfectly. I just wish I could install the version of htc connection setup I had on my hd2 so I could change my apn settings for my carrier instead of being locked out of my mms.
Hey Guys!
As you all wonder why I added [DoNotUpdate] in my title, let me tell you the scene behind it.
On 31 December, many A3 users received Android 11 update via OTA, My phone downloaded the update in the background and I got informed by updater app that your phone need's a restart to apply the update, I did and then phone stuck on Android One Boot screen for long time and then i tried to restart it but unfortunately my phone didn't respond me back and then sudden news came that "Android 11 bricked our Mi A3 devices" That's why DoNotUpdate, If you want your device to be bricked then go on!

sigh, yes I am embarrased at what I did but I have bricked my Mi Pad 5 and need a hand. Background:
- new Mi Pad 5 China hardware but with Global ROM flashed by the vendor I bought from
- the Mi Pad started up fine and I logged into my google and Mi accounts with no issues
- noticed the bootloader was unlocked and that google play said device is not certified
- I used fastboot OEM LOCK *very stooooopid* and the device rebooted
- on start up is says "This miui version can't be installed on this device" and now it's bricked
- tried to wipe data but no luck same error
- tried miunlock tool but it tells me I have to bind my id to the device :-(
- tried XiaoMiTool V2 but it is also stuck
- tried Mi pc suite but it will not detect the mi pad
Is there way way to simply recovery back to the latest chinese version of the rom - feels like I am stuck between a rock and a hardplace :-(
Thx in advance for your help, FredT
Download an China fastboot rom from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/miui-updates-tracker-xiaomi-pad-5-nabu.4328591/
Unpack and use the included installer

thx for the advice, I tried it but anything I do with the included installer tells me it can't work on on a locked device.
still looking for a solution....
You can not unlock again?
oem unlock command
yes unfortunately my stupid error was that I did an OEM LOCK thinking that would be ok and to fix the playstore uncertified issue :-(
when I try to unlock it tells me that I need to bind my ID :-(

Unlock again, install stock china rom, factory reset and lock bootloader
yeah when I try to unlock it now it says that I have to bind my MI id again but I can't boot MIUI to do that - so really stuck as it won't let me unlock
when I try oem unlock I get:
C:\Users\fredp\Downloads\miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24>.\fastboot.exe oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device
)

How did you unlock it in the first place? Maybe use the same method? Mine (pro 5g) came with CN ROM with the bootloader locked, so I had to go through the usual procedure of binding my Mi account and waiting for 7 days to unlock the bootloader. I used Mi Unlock as Xiaomi suggests.
Mine came from the seller with the global rom installed even on the CN hardware so they went through that process which in retrospective was not such a great idea, my mistake was that I did not bind my ID to the device before trying to lock it.
I don't know if you solved your problem, but when this kind of things happened with Xiaomi phones, you needed someone with an authorized Xiaomi account that could log in Xiaomi flasher and unlock your device for you. I remember seeing a guy from Russia who did this procedure for many people over the k20 pro fórum (he charges 20us I think)
Sorry for the kind of generic information but it's been sometime I saw this and can't quite remember the details. Try to search for more info about that in k20 pro fórum.
What I can tell you is that if you find the right person to do it for you it's quite easy and fast. I think he does it over TeamViewer.
Anyway, don't give up. It is totally recoverable
Here bro, this group in telegram can help you
A guy there has an authorized account
Search for {Mod edit}

How was this fixed? I also have the same problem(locking the bootloader after flashing and bricking it).
I tried to reachout to {Mod edit} and already paid for the service fee, and I am feeling that this is a SCAM, i have been waiting for a day and still no progress with this. Im confused if this is really a thing for our bricked units. Hope they were just really busy and not a scam.

Update on my transaction with {Mod edit}, it is legit! Cant beleive they revived my mi pad 5. This thread is a big help. Thanks!

But how can we suggest a solution to people with bricked device if this is the only option available?

Hi everyone member here.
I'm a black shack 3s user, I bought this device from my friend last month with china ROM installed.
I have questions, Where and how do I get and change from china ROM to global ROM?Because I have a problem with the china ROM on my cellphone, like one of them there is no notification from the whatsapp application so I have to open the application first then there is a message, and the next problem can't open email with gmail app.
But beyond that, my cellphone doesn't get updates and stops on JoyUI 12 20.08.08.
Do you guys have a solution ?
Device model : SHARK KLE-A0
Build number : KLEN2008080CN00MQ1

Does anyone know how I can flash an updated OS and security updates to my S20 Tactical Version. The phone works great but won't update. Last OS/security update shown 12/20. Really need some help, thanks.
very hard to find informations for this device
Galaxy XCover6 Pro and Galaxy S23 Tactical Edition | Samsung Business | undefined US
Learn about the Galaxy XCover6 Pro Tactical Edition and Galaxy S23 Tactical Edition with Knox security, a mission-ready military phone proven by operators for deployment in tactical environments.

please
go to :
setting/about phone/software information/Service provider SW ver
and post the result
maybe i'll can find something
Here is the screenshot I took:
Have tried odin several times and first 3 it said failed and then last time it di nothing just stayed on writing for 30 mins or more before I stopped it. Gonna try some more. Stuck at abl.elf on the odin prg.
Since it appears that getting it to flash is not going to happen is there anyway to make/flash knox updates, thanks.
Couldn't get it to work so decided to restore my backup from pc to phone using smart switch but nothing is happening, says preparing the restore process for .5 hour and nothing. How long does it take and is there another tool that can restore the data I backed up. Progress 0
Can the S20 be jailbroke and what program do I need. If it gets jail broke can I then put in new os, thanks.
New question since no one answered previous one. If I got the bootloader unlocked and loaded a new android 12 version on it, would it then resume normal updates or just stay on stuck on 12 like it is now on 10. Would it make it a non tactical version or remain same.
NEVER SEEN A FORUM WITH SO MANY HELPING PEOPLE.
How did you get this device? These are generally government/military only, and are destroyed when retired. If you happen to be government and/or military, modifying your device without explicit approval is forbidden and could result in severe legal consequences.

Are you sure a software update is available for your device? If not, your options are limited without unlocking the bootloader.

Jailbreaking applies only to Apple devices. Android phones by default allow installing apps from sources other than the Google Store; rooting depends on the device. Have you enabled Developer Options? If so, do you see an OEM Unlocking toggle?

Per my first answer, if there were an official update for your device, then you should be able to update without unlocking the bootloader. If not, then no - installing a different Android version will not be able to use normal updates, outside of GSIs such as LineageOS.

This is unnecessary. You have a device that simply isn't very popular, so there isn't very much support for it. Further, you posted in the wrong section - as a Galaxy S20, you should have posted this in the Galaxy S20 Questions and Answers section. Posting in the right area gives you better chances of getting help with your issue.

I thought SURE THAT I posted in the right place but if not I apologize and I thought I answered the questions about how I got it and if it has updates available. I know the TE mdl has been updated to A 11 os but don't know if any further. Also what I was asking is if it was flashed with A 13 os would it get updates like a normal S20 mdl would. This was not issued to me but rather purchased online from a seller who sold around 20 of them and the box does not indicate its a Tactical Edition; when I tried to get money back he closed his/her account, so stuck with it.
sorry but i have not find any firmware for your special device
Thanks, that must be why odin won't write to stock firmware. I'm thinking that u must have to have the stock bl firmware to get it to write the rest of the os, not sure of anything. except won't update on it's own.
