I did not change the build. The respective sources are different for R,S and T for this device. The patch can only be applied on S and T. To understand why it does not boot one need to debug
So, now I got it, I think… I wasn’t sure anymore what was in the builds that did not boot and thought you fixed something in the same version.
It’s kind a safe to assume something did not get back ported for version R…
And in any way, having the newer Android version run on the S7 – with blueooth working, better WiFi and better battery life – is awesome!
Hope we will not here a:
This is Major Ron to Ground Control
I’m stepping through the door…
Thanks again @ronnz98
Congratulations ‘Major Ron’Hello all,
@make-nz , @anon29344687 do you still use your S7 with the T build from @ronnz98 ?
If yes can you confirm me that your phone is working fine or if you found some issues ?
Thank you for you answers.

First I installed @ronnz98’s build e-1.15-s-20230919-UNOFFICIAL-herolte_by_ronnz98.zip with e-Recovery, and from there I manually updated to new @ronnz98 build e-1.16.1-t-20231028-UNOFFICIAL-herolte_by_ronnz98.zip, which worked fine.
Since the e-Recovery allows the manual update via adb sideload from the microSD card, i.e. without an additional PC, the update is as easy as an OTA update.
@ronnz98, all system apps, including Battery + Display + Notifications + Sound & vibration as well as Fingerprint (home button) work flawlessly 
@ronnz98, you are great. Thank you very much.

Very advantageous for future @ronnz98’s updates:
Updating can be done without a PC, as the e-recovery allows ‘adb sideload’ from the microSD card.

e-RECOVERY
Install a custom recovery with Odin on Windows OS:
Simply unzip @roonz98’s e-1.16.1-t-20231028-UNOFFICIAL-herolte_by_ronnz98.zip and use file recovery.img. Open a command prompt and convert the file "recovery.img to “recovery.tar” with the command:
/e/OS documentation
Installing a custom recovery using Odin
- Rename the downloaded image to “recovery.img”, open a Command Prompt and TAR the file by running
tar -cvf %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\recovery.tar %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\recovery.img
Tip: The path may vary depending on where you download the recovery image.

From the above it seems one should pass a local_manifests folder to docker run
In my case:
docker run \
-v “/home/make/e/src:/srv/src” \
-v “/home/make/e/zips:/srv/zips” \
-v “/home/make/e/logs:/srv/logs” \
-v “/home/make/e/local_manifests:/srv/local_manifests” \
-v “/home/make/e/keys:/srv/keys” \
-v “/home/make/e/ccache:/srv/ccache” \
…

@ronnz98 How did you pass this into your build, please?
Are there some docs, howto on what you can set?
Does it just come from your test-keys or user name?
I suppose this is the linux user name of the system used for building
Yes, was thinking that too — and edited post, while you answered.
The only ROM I build does say root there, but I’m using docker. I your user name ronnz on your notebook/pc?
Yes, ronnz is my username for my laptop as well as for my PC.
One of the disadvantages that docker has is that it runs as root, or at least I dont know to run docker without sudo…
It’s pretty straightforward. This page from the Docker docs explains how to do it
https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/
It’s a bit of a faff, specially if you have already run a few times: there will be directories owned by root that you wont be able to access as non-root. Some judicious work* with 'sudo, chown, rm -rf will make it all good, But it’s well worth doing
* Sorry I can’t remember the exact details of what I had to do
Well, I run a minimal Ubuntu Server and docker is a snap, so it has good isolation.
With tmux, mc, htop, iftop, ncdu, snap I have not much on that system anyway.

Although my
Although my Galaxy S7 (herolte) settings were set to update the recovery during the update, this was not done. Nevertheless, a problem-free manual update was carried out without data loss using e-Rcovery T-V1.16 via adb sideload from:
- Choose from internal storage
- Choose from sdcard1 (microSD card)
- Choose from usb (stick)
Note: This does not offer abd sideaload features for devices with e-Recovery.
Credit: Thank you @ronnz98 for building this new OS-T 1.18 ROM.
