[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] P0ll0L0c0:
I actually love the Moga Hero. It's just not perfect. It's kinda cramped, and if I had big hands, it would be troublesome. I've dropped it trying to use odd button combinations.

Also - the default button settings are kind of odd for certain games. Using the app - Wild Blood from gameloft works great, but you can't use the analog to move? Also - on Vice City, there's a lot of unused buttons - and there still seems to be no way to perform certain actions - like honk the horn or change radio stations.

I with the Moga app allowed you to change button settings, that would be a huge update and improvement.

But overall - I love my Moga Hero. I returned the Nyko Playpad - it was a big disaster and that's why it's being sold so cheap. Off the shelf, the back trigger buttons won't work for any app. That can be resolved with a firmware update, but it can only install on Android 4.1 devices - or else you risk bricking the Playpad. Even then - the game compatibility pales in comparison to the Moga. On one review - it was stated that the Nyko Playpad paired with the Tegra Note makes it a flawless "Shield Like" interface - and that's just not true.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] teknik29uk:
Interesting info re the PlayPad - mine just arrived today and the triggers are working fine in Riptide GP 2 and Dead Trigger 2.

Perhaps mine has the latest firmware already?!
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] e8hffff:
I hope someone makes a new flash image so that we can get all the Google Apps etc on those Tegra Notes from China.

Is there a button sequence to get the device into fastboot access, from boot?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] ratykat:
Had my Playpad pro for 6 hours. boxed it back up and returned it. Awful bit of kit. rear triggers refused to work, wouldn't update, would sync to tablet, wouldnt sync to htc one, rear left trigger kept sticking. Support team are full of excuses.

I'll wait for sixaxis I think.

EDIT: any news on friendlier root methods, custom recoveries or custom roms? I've been having a good look around but cant found anything. Biggest issue is that as we dont have a proper forum, the tn7 owners are segregated. How do we go about getting a sub forum set up for our tablet?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Uribam:
I 42nd us getting a forum. Until then, I've joined the very small Tegra Note G+ community. Seems better than posting across several threads here until such a time as we get a dedicated space.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Toyeboy:
Yeah I'm wondering what we have to do to get a Tegra Note forum on here. Its a world wide released tablet I'm thinking its going to have a lot of interest. Im loving mine! What Google + page are you referring to? Thanks.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Gnurou:
So, I have finally updated my SHIELD rooting method to support Tegra Note 7 as well, so you guys don't need to install weird programs on your PCs:

https://github.com/linux-shield/shield-root

Rooting by itself is quite easy, you need to have adb and fastboot on your system then:

1) Enable USB debugging in the developer options and plug your TN7

2) Download https://github.com/linux-shield/shield-root/blob/master/root_tn7.img?raw=true

3) In a shell, issue "adb reboot-bootloader"

4) In the same shell, go into the directory containing root_tn7.img and run "fastboot boot root_tn7.img".

Rooting will take ~15 seconds and the tablet will reboot. You should then have SuperSU installed and working.

Note that these are not exactly the instructions mentioned on the README file of my Github repository. That's because TN7's bootloader is not interactive as SHIELD's for the moment, I hope this will be fixed.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Ouzo:
I agree, we need a forum, even if it was just one to cover all the Note models. It seems odd to me that there isn't one given the stature of the SoC inside this thing. For £170 I have a device that performs as well as a Snapdragon 800 device - amazing!

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ----------

Brilliant, thanks for taking the time to do this for everyone. I can't use it just yet, but I'm sure I will in due course :)
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] ratykat:
Was it difficult to do, porting to the tn7? Could it be a sign of custom recoveries and roms on the horizon?

Thank you so much for this, glad I've waited to avoid dodgy chineseses
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] tuxbaby:
TN7 root tool working nicely.

Had a look at the code inside your image - looked well written - worked as expected - thanks from a happy rooted TN7 user.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] ratykat:
Another question, does sixaxis work on shield? If so, can we get the Bluetooth stack ported so it works for us?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Ksehwail:
Do you mind if I add this to the OP as a better alternative of course all credit will be given to you where it's due.. Anyway let me know what you think
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Gnurou:
This is totally unrelated to custom recoveries/roms since my effort was mostly to get the Linux kernel (as in, not Android) to boot. I could have used the Android kernel but my goal is to get pure Linux on TN7 and getting this root script to work looked like a nice first milestone.

As expected TN7 is not too different from SHIELD, so porting was rather trivial.

Custom ROM/recoveries use the Android kernel so they don't need what I did. There is actually no technical obstacle to making them - just lack of interest maybe since TN7 already comes with almost-stock Android and is expected to receive prompt updates.

Of course please do, I posted it here so you guys stop installing shady programs on your computers. ;)
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] roustabout:
I have an HP slate 8 pro. I was able to get ADB to see it, but so far am unable to get fastboot to see it, even in fastboot mode.

I was able to use the odd Chinese program to root it (which is excellent) but am curious about the possibility of rooting the restore image which HP distributes and loading that onto the device.

It will probably be some time before I can test that, though, as I'm already in trouble for buying a new device when the GF wanted to see me this weekend...
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Toyeboy:
How's the slate 8 pro? I was considering it until I read it weighs 1lb which isn't lightweight is that true?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] roustabout:
It is a chunky monkey. A bit larger than the Note 8 it replaces, but I like the larger screen. I looked at spec yesterday and the weight's comparable to the Note 8, but today I'm seeing reported as 4 ounces heavier. Time for a trip to the scale. Yes, the HP is about a pound, and about 100 grams heavier than the Note. I rarely carry a tablet with, so it's not too bad.

Some difference in weight is probably down to the battery: 5680 mah for the HP versus 4600 for the Note.

I really like the aspect ratio - for me, 4:3 is much nicer than vanilla Android aspect. I like that it comes with the old Browser app.

and I am loving how much of the T7 and Shield work is portable.

I just got the fastboot mode working using the Naked USB driver and was able to issue a fastboot oem unlock command. In an ideal world I'd have time to try porting CWM across, but once I'd unlocked the device, I needed to reroot.

The TN7 root image worked for that, super cool, did not have to reinstall the Chinese who-knows-what program :)

I'm looking at the available tn7 and Shield images now - there's apparently a very nice camera app available for the platform.

Thanks to all who are working on this family of devices. This is just about the fastest I've been able to root and unlock a device not intended to be hacked.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] ratykat:
That's good to hear, if the hp is compatible with tn7 hacks, looks like we will be getting roms and cwm soon.

I'm interested in working on porting cwm or another recovery, is there anywhere that I can learn?

Just found a thread with a chinese cwm recovery! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48518450#post48518450 thanks to e8hffff

I just used the Cydia Impactor to reroot my Slate 8 (Tegra note with a big screen, basically.)

Very simple process, no fastboot boot commands.

Did have the Shield naked drivers installed already - functioning ADB is a prerequisite.

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] dergezero:
if you have the sdk installed go into update drivers and select from a list of existing drivers. ADB should be there.

How to root 4.3?

Anyone got to root the new ROM? I tried Cydia Impactor but failed. Before this, I tried unlocking the device first then flashing the root image but didn't get to see the four penguins?? I installed Supersu but it failed to install the binaries. Will probably try Vroot/Kingroot.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Shaky156:
Rootin the new rom should not be difficult... Now that we have recovery...

1. Unlock the bootloader - fastboot oem unlock

2. Install recovery - steps above

3. Download supersu.zip from chainfire and install

Root achieved yay :D
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] borg79:
After the 4.3 update, I try the root method and the recovery image method (mentioned in this thread) but got no success, everytime I do ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER to get into the boot menu and do FASTBOOT FLASH ... RECOVERY.img , after reboot, there is no root and no CWM Recovery menu shows up ! anything I done wrong ? The followings are my steps :

1. Unlock

fastboot oem unlock -- after reboot and get into the boot menu, it shows that the device is unlocked

2. Flash Recovery image

adb reboot bootloader - get into the boot menu and then I choose fastboot protocal, then choose continue

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img -- with OKAY messages

reboot

Any help will be appreciated :confused:

Actually, I am following yours steps for 4.3 , but I was stuck at the step right after flashing the recovery.img because the new recovery.img does not show up, all I can see is the original recovery image ! In such circumstance, I have no way to install the supersu zip file !
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Shaky156:
Oh right yeah if you know what youre doing remember theres a recovery script executing in etc named recovery.sh remove that line its executing and replacing CWM with stock recovery upon reboot
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Freeje:
Finally rooted.

Previously tried rooting by flashing the root_tn7 image and then the recovery image. Tried installing superuser.zip from recovery, also failed. I installed supersu but didn't get permanent root. The app couldn't update the su binary. Also tried Cydia Impactor but got the message "File already exists". So I installed Root Explorer and found the su already installed in the directory system/xbin/. I finally got the binaries updated by using I using Superuser by Clockworkmod. Full root! Finally got to run Titanium to bring back my apps.

Next is to change the boot screen/splash image. Will use the Universal Android AIO Flasher Tool to try and change the splash screen.

Not a root issue but do you guys have an issue when holding the tablet in portrait mode that the bezel is activating screen input? For example if I hold the black bezel near to but not touching the screen the pop-up appears to change wallpaper!

Noticed a few people mention it and I checked one in a store which behaved the same, seems almost like a design flaw rather than a fault.

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Gnurou:
Just to let everyone know that I have updated the instructions on https://github.com/linux-shield/shield-root to support the latest TN7 4.3 OTA. You now need to manually unlock your device before rooting, so the instructions in the first post of this thread should be updated accordingly (doing a link to my Github repo is recommended to make sure it stays up-to-date should the instructions change again).

If some people try this method again with 4.3, I'd like to hear about your success or struggles.

Nice thanks for the update I will be updating OP... sorry just been very busy
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] damianiw:
Looks good and is much clearer for 4.3 users, I was a bit confused before but managed mine with help from Shaky on here.

The trickiest thing was getting adb working on windows maybe we chould ask them to include the tn7 in the naked adb tool for windows and offer a link to the thread in the guide - I had fun playing with the USB drivers and removing all remnants of my older one from my lenovo.

What update file? sorry, don't really have that much idea yet about android and rooting, was previously just using an ipod touch then jailbreaking it.:laugh: The Tablet is still 4.2.2 jelly bean which I think is the version out of the box. Kinda feel excited about rooting this bad boy :)
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Pacattack:
You will need to do it again, when you update to 4.3, as a update will lock your

bootloader and loose your root.

Check for your update in setting/about tablet/

Once downloaded, to make a copy of it, dont install it, you can copy it from a folder called nvidia/app/ota/download/rom/

you can send it me if you want, to compare with other TN7 tablets :)

These are the thing will have to do....

1.update to tegra android 4.3

2.unlock bootloader via adb

3.install recovery via adb

4.install root via recovery.

I don't own the tablet, but I've been considering buying it. So, I have been wondering about the root / recovery options for the slate 7 extreme as well.
