What is special about the HT7? One outstanding feature is the amazing high definition screen. The HOMTOM HT7 screen is a 5.5” HD display with a 1280*720 IPS resolution. In addition, the elegant, stylish and vibrant design is attractive to young style-conscious users. The HOMTOM HT7 is available in two colors, Vibrant White and Elegant Black. For couples, they make very nice Christmas presents for each other.
The slogan for HOMTOM is “More power, lasting longer”. All the phones produced by HOMTOM are equipped with a large battery. The previous model HT6 has a huge 6250 mAh battery and the HT5 has a large 4250 mAh battery. The HT7 has a smaller battery at 3000 mAh, but it is still bigger than many other Android Smartphones. The result is a phone that can be used for up to 3 days before recharge.
The HOMTOM HT7 will be a perfect choice for many people. No matter whether one is a student or middle-income earner, anyone can easily afford this phone. For iPhone fans, an HOMTOM HT7 is perfect for a second phone for business or vacation.
We believe that the HOMTOM HT7 will quickly create a sales miracle in the highly competitive smartphones market and become one of HOMTOM’s best offerings.

I can't even make Windows 10 discover it as a device(tried all usb 2/3 ports, front panel/back/pci card). Does your OS find the device, when it's connected to your PC(no preloader VCom, no MTP, no nothing. The option for PC connection in Android is grayed out btw)?

P.S. You can put it in fastboot mode by removing battery, connecting usb cable to pc, keeping volume down pressed and then reconnecting the battery(ofc I still can't make Win10/ discover the device this way).

In windows 10 x64 the phone is detected but the driver is not loaded.
Look in "Device Manager" under USB
Since it has a Mediatek processor and an updated quad core A7, the drivers should be readily available but maybe I need to try it on an Windows XP PC first.

Flash new rom

I have been sent by Homtom HT7 a new ROM to flash
But I still can not find the drivers for my Windows 10 x64 PC and I am unfamiliar with the Flashtool for MTK phones

Any help appreciated

Hi,

I flashed the new ROM (M20_HT7_V1.1.2_user_20151231-17_20_02), but it still contains two malwares (one in callerid, another in uni launcher).
I tried to root without success. Anyone to modify these ROMs to be rooted?

Where did you find the drivers for Windows and the Flash tool?

The Malware seems localised to "System Services" and "Uni Launcher".
I took the suggestion to use Non-Root Firewall and it seems to work; still have cooee.H on kpsh.Platform.jar but I am able to block communication with outside servers by these untrustworthy apps

I installed DriverAutoInstaller from spflashtool.com. I tried ot use oneclick root, kingoroot, I installed more softwares in the last week, so I'm not sure this installer did the work.
My problem was that when I was trying to flash with flashtools, the PC didn't recognize the phone. I had to tilt the microusb connector to make real connection.

Thanks for the advice about firewall.

Hi, so flashing does not solve the problem? Is this rom somehow better? Does anybody have problems with battery life?

I didn't realise any difference, but I focused on the malwares. Unfortunately it contains them. My new problem about HT7 is that it connets to the GSM network slowly (1-2 minutes), even if I turned airplane mode on then off. Any idea?

Battery is strange a bit, during charging it stops at 89%, but later charging continues reaching 100%.

Anyway, battery life is not the best, but it's enough for me. 1-1.5 days.

Mine also stops on 89% while charging. It does bad job at reading battery state (i've seen values decrease rapidly, and sometimes even go up after a reset, following long usage).
Whats bother me the most is that i cannot root it.

    HomTom HT7 root, firmware, info

    THANKS
    would you please advise which apps u removed / freezed?
    Can be great for all of us here
    note that i also have 1.0.8

    * here is what i did:
    1. install another launcher (i choose nova)
    2. set it to default (!make it always default, not just once)
    3. install the root (the spanish/italian version :))
    4. after the root, install root uninstaller
    5. install root explorer (or anything with you can wandering with in the root folders)

    * after then, here is the list:
    (uninstall with root uninstaller)
    1. caller id
    2. uni launcher
    3. bagan keyboard
    4. go keyboard
    5. beauty center
    6. luxury
    7. suiyueruge
    8. theme1
    -> root uninstaller move them into his trash, so you can empty it later, if you feel safe
    -> allow supersu to give rights (i allowed only for 15 minutes, for safety)

    * i think they are safe, but later removed:
    1. documents to go
    2. xender

    * remove the bloatwares (if any):
    com.cleanmaster.appmonitor.tool
    com.android.memory.monitor.service
    com.android.service.romsaver
    com.whatsapp.messenger.service
    -> i think "com.android.memory.monitor.service" has a folder in the main sd card: Android/data
    -> there were some trash in the Android/data/.public/download folder

    * with root explorer, delete folders (json30's list, thx):
    /system/app/DQBAGAN/*
    /system/app/DQDocumentsToGo/*
    /system/app/DQGO/*
    /system/app/DQXENDER/*
    /system/app/ht_theme1/*

    /system/priv-app/launcher-mate7_1.5.1/* The VIRUS !!!
    /system/priv-app/lqsdk_1.0.1/*
    /system/priv-app/themebox_1.0.1/* the VIRUS !!!
    -> allow supersu to give rights (i allowed only for 15 minutes, for safety)

    * there are some folder in your sd too (phone sd, not external):
    (turn on hidden folders, root explorer)
    .kpsh
    cooee and unilauncher related folders (i don't remember their exact names)
    -> it's not important, but i removed them

    * how to root:
    www .elchiringuitochino.es/2016/01/rootear-homtom-ht7-e-instalacion-de.html?m=1 (thx podremio, spanish)
    www .alessiofasano.com/2016/02...omtom-ht7.html (alessiof89 translated, thx, italian, i used this)
    -> the two zip goes to the external_sd (micro sd), and the TWRP directory goes to the phone memory (internal sd).
    -> worked with version: 1.0.7, 1.0.8, 1.1.4, (2.0.1?)

    * v2.0.1 (not tested by myself)
    this is the link, for the v2.0.1
    https:// drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwt-yELgdcW_Qlc0ZVlLTmowWTQ/view
    -> unilauncher and other malwares removed
    -> can be rooted again

    * v2.0.3 (tested, safe, more optimized)
    the firmware for sp flash tool: https://goo.gl/5KlO5P
    twrp3.0 : https://yadi.sk/d/IwQLnEg6pKpD3/TWRP_3.0_boot_2.0.3
    -> this contains twrp for 1.0.8, 1.1.2, 2.0.1, 2.0.3. sp flash tool can download it to phone, just use the original fw's scatter file with recovery.img (only this 2).

    * v2.0.7
    the firmware for sp flash tool: https://yadi.sk/d/yOiFA86zqJ3FK
    UniLauncher and themes are back
    -> if you use twrp, then you can install with this (from mrd.macdonald, #354):
    Full boot and system image of HT7 V2.0.7
    - install via TWRP
    - place file HT7_v.2.0.7_Stock_systen_boot_zip_install.zip in to phone's sdcard(internal sdcard)
    - boot to TWRP then press install ,and select file HT7_v.2.0.7_Stock_systen_boot_zip_install.zip,
    - swipe to confirm
    - wait until the device reboot
    Download "HT7_v.2.0.7_Stock_systen_boot_zip_install.zip" from here:
    https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8...TU4NjVqVjZzZjQ

    * v2.1.2
    mrd.macdonald give us the OTA and s customized version: here is the full post

    * windows 10 drivers
    link for windows 10 drivers

    * MiAn81 fw sources
    https://yadi.sk/d/9ssvPXQWozz9V

    * TWRP 3 (MiAn81, #264)
    Here you have TWRP 3.0.0 based on 2.0.3fw
    https://yadi.sk/d/IwQLnEg6pKpD3/TWRP_3.0_boot_2.0.3
    Flash it the same way as you flashed 203fw. Copy scatter file from 203fw to empty folder where you saved recovery.img and let the splash tool do it's job. After that, your first boot must be in recovery mode (Power & V+) !!! Twrp will ask you if you want SuperSU installed, confirm and that's it. You have twrp and root access.

    * SP flash tool (v5.1548 should be ok)
    androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool

    * how to use sp flash for install clean firmware
    disconnect device from pc
    unzip full firmware to a directory
    run spflash tool
    select scatter-loading: MT6580_Android_scatter.txt (or similar, you can found in archive)
    press download
    turn off device, remove battery
    press download
    put battery back
    connect device to pc
    or read this link: how to flash


    * Engineer Mode
    Type this to call: *#*#3646633#*#*
    or install an app from play (search for MTK Engineer Mode)
    -> don't set anything if you don't know what is it, you can have big trouble. write down defaults before setting something

    * IMEI backup
    for safety, write down your IMEI numbers:
    Go to Engineer Mode - Telephony - GPRS
    There is a long number (15 chr), SIM1 and SIM2 (if you have one)
    Set IMEI: call *#*#12306#*#*

    * additional
    -> earphone adapter (normal earphone jack didn't fit):
    "Announcement for the earphone adapter:
    If you have RECEIVED the HT7, but didn't get the adapter, please send an email to [email protected], with your order number and the shop where you purchased. We will tell you the next step to solve the problem and send a gift for you."

    10 with file manager I start to delete all go keyboard related, and the others craps that was previously suspect of viruses ( it is very possible now to be free of viruses, but I don't like that app any how so i deleted them )
    /system/app/DQBAGAN/*
    /system/app/DQDocumentsToGo/*
    /system/app/DQGO/*
    /system/app/DQXENDER/*

    It's in spanish language (like me) but with google translator it's easy to understand.

    Seems that they are making a new one. Check their Facebook Page: "we are making a new version"

    succes with rooting this phone and deleteting all (I hope ) malware

    first I update from 1.0.7 to 1.1.2. with stock firmware using SP flash tool app in windows, (to get my phone connected to windows 10 and to be able to flash with SP Flash Tool app I needed to "Disable Driver Signature Verification". so be aware of that to.) after that I used that spanish site info to root a 1.1.2 stock firmware, and after that I made update from TWRP to 1.1.4 version from that rusian site 4pda ru topic 706050 & post #1196, like someone say on doogeemobile site "my head hearts" after reading a lot of google translate on russian site, and in the end, based on info from the net (here and russian site) I deleted all that crap (malware), now it seems to work much better and I think I got a clean phone.
    This is what erase (with total commander)
    /system/app/DQBAGAN/*
    /system/app/DQDocumentsToGo/*
    /system/app/DQGO/*
    /system/app/DQXENDER/*
    /system/app/ht_theme1/*
    /system/app/theme-luxury_3.0.1/*
    /system/app/theme-suiyueruge_3.0.1/*
    /system/etc/apps/360Ben_XYX.apk
    /system/etc/apps/AntutuHard_XYX.apk
    /system/etc/apps/Antutu_XYX.apk
    /system/etc/apps/AntutuYanji_XYX.apk
    /system/etc/apps/CPUZ_XYX.apk
    /system/etc/apps/Ludashi_XYX.apk
    /system/launcher/*
    /system/priv-app/caller_id_2.0.1/*
    /system/priv-app/launcher-mate7_1.5.1/* The VIRUS !!!
    /system/priv-app/lqsdk_1.0.1/*
    /system/priv-app/themebox_1.0.1/* the VIRUS !!!
    same of them I do not have it, probably because I go to 1.1.4 with firmware already modified. (if you have app to add to this list please do).
    On the russian site they say they have TWRP 3.0.0 , but I do not manage to download, yet (seems to be removed). :good:
    Almost forgot, another good recommendation that I found and and followed is to change protective film from screen that came with the phone with a tempered glass one , it work much better on touch part, otherwise you will think your phone is broken that bad will behave your phone after update.

    Another cool info from "Rusia" is this code
    1........a special command in dialer
    command to enter the engineering menu: * # * # 3646633 # * # *
    2.Enter ... open and find Band mode - Hit, we see sim 1 and sim 2
    3 Select sim 1
    4.Remove check from 1900 and 850 Hit set ok
    5.Go back to the choice of sim, sim and select 2.
    6.Remove check from 1900 and 850 Hit set ok
    all.
    This greatly saves battery.

    That enabling or disabling of frequencies is specific to your country , what frequencies use your operator for 3G in your country.
