I noticed this comment in the other thread:

I have supersu.zip installed in internal storage. Do I need to buy an SD card to make this work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
Yes

Or, use a USB drive with an OTG cable or micro USB adapter.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] OverBim:
Linux on android pretty much sucks imo. I've tried it, albeit some moons ago... I was aiming for something like Linuxium.

That aside I want to install a new Android ROM (trying to build 5.1.1 atm) or Linux image on it. How can I enter the BIOS and/or unlock the bootloader? The device is a Medion Lifetab P8314.2 (MD99612). Any hints welcome.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
I used a USB-microUSB adapter with a USB hub and connected a mouse+keyboard then used the keyboard to enter BIOS, I can't remember which button buts it's one of the usual: f1, f2, f8, f10, f12, tab, delete, or esc. One of those I believe.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
Have you even established whether or not the bootloader is actually locked or not? Some devices have a bootloader that is already unlocked from the factory.

Some that have locked bootloader can be unlocked, but some can't, it varies from one device model/firmware version to the next. The methods of unlocking vary from one to the other also, and that's only IF it is unlockable.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] OverBim:
I started into fastboot mode. There's no obvious mention of the bootloader state there. Additionally it says "booloader_version - ?" and "secure_boot - ?". Then tried "fastboot oem device-info", but only got "FAILED (remote: unknown OEM command)". Then I tried the "Dial *#*#7378423#*#*" method, but that does nothing. I CAN boot to a recovery though... Honestly I have no idea if the bootloader is unlocked...

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

I tried that, but the keyboard is not active in the boot phase. When I unplug the keyboard in fastboot mode, then plug in again and reboot from fastboot mode into the booloader (option in fastboot mode), the keyboard stays active and I tried mashing keys, but to no avail. Tried e.g. ESC, F2, F7, F10, F12, Shift, Del... And yes, I used and active hub....

In a different thread some people mentionend plugging in an USB stick with some files and then getting into the BIOS, but I haven tried that. I don'T have the BIOS ROM that seems to be needed...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
There may not even be a BIOS ROM for your device. I'm not sure if that changes from device model to device model.

To check bootloader, have you tried this fastboot command?

fastboot oem device-info
[Miscellaneous Android Development] clyde54:
So I now have an SD card installed but it won't let me move any files to it. Any ideas how to fix?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
Use a card reader on PC to transfer the files to SD card, then put the card in the device.

Or

If your device supports OTG, you can use a standard USB stick with an adapter to reduce down to micro USB then connect it to your device and flash it from USB.

Or, if the device is still fully functional, put the SD card in the device, use mobile browser settings or file manager(on the device) to set your download location to be on extSDcard, then use mobile browser on the device to download the SuperSU.zip file, if your download location is set properly, the file will download directly to your extSDcard.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] clyde54:
Just a quick update. I wanted to thank you for all your help on this. I am now rooted. :victory:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
Good to go, now look for the Xposed framework that is made for your android version(Kit Kat, Lollipop, etc, etc..).

It has many modules that can be used to give your device a custom ROM look and feel with some cool features. Be careful when using the Xposed framework, it can cause issues that require reflashing stock firmware(losing root in the process) to fix it, it can even brick your device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] madhits45:
Hoping for some help here. I have a Tx201LA Android 4.2 Atom Baytrail Z2560 tablet combo unit. The tablet I am attempting to update to android 4.4 (from 4.2) at least if I can do that. My tablet is nearly identical to the Asus TX201LAF released only in france. The specs are similar to zenphone 5, Galaxy tab 3 10.1 and also the Dell Venue 7.

My issue is I am stuck at waiting-for-device screen. Ive installed fastboot drivers and Ive picked all of the different options T1-T4 and I still get waiting-for-device screen/android sitting at droidboot. Are there any suggestions? I know my device is not on the approved list but it may never be because its so darn rare.

Thoughts?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pcwizzy37:
I wouldn't count on it, just because it's similar to another device does not mean it will work, my Intel Tablet, is identical to alot of other devices too, but I still can't have an unlocked bootloader because the keys that sign each IFWI are different.

Waiting for device, sounds like either the droidboot image on there is buggy, or drivers are not installed, I assume you are running some version of WIndows.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] madhits45:
Yeah I am running windows 10 on the dock half of my device.

I know at the very least I can run the rom from the TX201LAF (french version). Its more a matter of flashing the rom, granted I know the bootloader is locked and the rom is in raw format but if I can flash it, it should boot up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AmadGames7:
I am having issues being with the file IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015.7z

Can I use this to install magisk?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Magisk requires an unlocked bootloader (which you probably don't have if you're relying on this recovery)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nedz9:
Can i make a full recovery nandroid with this tool.

Venue 3740 lte Rooted

Android 4.4.4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
Yes this can be used to make a nandroid backup, but you'll have to use this tool again if you need to restore that backup.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nedz9:
I would appreciate if you tell me how?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
Simple, use this tool to boot a temp recovery session using the CWM option, when recovery boots, choose the "backup and restore" option, create the backup.

Then, if you ever need to restore that backup, use this tool again to launch the temp CWM recovery session, when the recovery boots, choose the "backup and restore" option again, then choose the backup that you made and restore it.

This tool does not allow you to flash the recovery onto the device as other devices do, it only boots a live temporary recovery session without actually flashing the recovery. It can't be flashed on devices that rely on this tool because they have locked bootloaders.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pcwizzy37:
This recovery cannot always be used to make nandroid backups, as the partition layout that is in the recovery is sometimes incorrect for some devices.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
Seems as if the partitioning on your device might be incompatible with the recovery. You said T3 starts but doesn't load recovery and T4 boots but doesn't see your partitions correctly. You may have to modify the T3 or T4 recovery in the tool to work with your device. Or find someone else to do it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mezacorleehone:

I have a Nextbook 8 that is hung up on the boot loader. I can not "make sure you have enabled developer options / adb debugging under settings on your device" because i can't get there from here.

Every time i try to run one of the zip packages, i get a signature error.

I can boot it to TWRP and set the ADB mode, but it can not execute any zipped files, surely due to signing issues...

Is there any way to get it into debugging mode without being able to boot to the OS?

P.S. I didn't break this... I'm trying to help a friend. :) (but i could have easily been "one of those guys") LOL
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
You can boot into TWRP then use the built in terminal emulator or adb to enable USB debugging.

Do a Google search for:

"Enable USB debugging with adb"

Hello

I have Acer B1-750. And am trying to root this tablet. I have OS Windows 10 x64.

I cant change default ADB driver.

DEVICE STATUS: ADB-ONLINE

DEVICE INFORMATION: 44642664069 device

my hardware id USB\VID_0502&PID_367B&MI_01

i was try also to change in inf file but i cant install after i change it. So i was try to root with ADB driver that i have already installed but i getting that error on all T1.2.3.4 options. Error is "could not open /sys/devices/virtual/backlight"

anyone have some idea how can i change this ADB driver in windows 10. Think so that problem is in that driver? Or not?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
Do you have the device booted into fastboot mode when you connect the device while the recovery tool is open on PC? If you read the first post of this thread carefully, you'll see where it is supposed to say Device Status: fastboot online.

You might have to manually configure the device drivers in device manager to select the "android bootloader interface" driver.

Go to device manager, select your android device on the list then right click, select update driver, select browse my computer for driver software, select let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer, select android bootloader interface. Then fastboot should connect correctly.

have anyone tried to install Magisk by using Tethered CWM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bludwurst:
You can't, to my knowledge, install Magisk in devices with locked bootloader (which is why you're using this tool, no?).

I tried and all I got was my tablet refusing to boot because something something modified software.

(Had to reflash the stock ROM).

Remember Magisk uses a modified boot.img

Can anyone help me please?

I was messing around with a z3735f intel tablet that had android 6, i used this method to root it and it went all okay....

but then my curiosity started craving me and i realized that if it had a bios setup i could install windows on it, so then i downloaded a version of windows and booted pressing f8 on the keyboard, when it loaded it said something like "flashing bootloader, we need to restart" and then the tablet never booted up again, when i plug it to my pc it never connects and doesnt even sounds when conected, the tablet is off completely and the only sign of "life" is that the processor chip heats up very much, nothing else...

I've read in some forums and youtube videos that it is possible to fix by re flashing the bios but i dont have the tools needed for it and also im not entirely sure if this is the fix for my problem.

can anyone guide me on how to fix my tablet please? thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
If you had read this thread carefully you would have understood that Windows can not be installed on your device.

Here is why....

This tool was created to be used to root Intel based devices that have a locked bootloader because custom recovery can not be flashed on devices that have locked bootloader. The only thing that can be flashed on devices that have a locked bootloader is the official stock firmware and official stock updates specifically made for the device in question.

You can't flash anything that is not stock when the device has a locked bootloader. That means you can't flash a custom recovery, can't flash any kind of custom ROMs and can't flash an alternative operating system such as Windows or Linux.

If these devices had bootloaders that are already unlocked, this tool would not be needed and would have never been created because if the bootloader were unlocked, a permanent TWRP could be flashed on these devices instead of having to use this tool to boot a temporary custom recovery session. This tool works on devices that have locked bootloader because booting a temporary recovery does not require actually flashing the recovery onto the device, instead, it merely boots a "live" session, similar to using a bootable USB drive on PC to boot a Linux live USB instead of installing linux on the PC.

Next time you want to modify a device, do more research, read more, look for what CAN and CANNOT be done on your specific device, don't just "assume" that you can flash whatever you want.

You might be able to flash the original stock firmware for the device to repair it, if you can find the correct firmware, but I'm willing to bet that it isn't available anywhere and never was or will be. These cheap tablets usually do not get any kind of support from the manufacturers.

If you had used the TWRP built into this tool to create a nandroid backup of your stock ROM before you attempted to install Windows, you might have been able to restore that backup to fix the device, but it's too late for that.

All of this is because you did not properly research information about your device or the process you attempted to use on the device. You did not verify whether you could actually do it before you tried it, you just assumed you could and now you are paying the price for your ignorance. Consider it a learning lesson.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS check bootloader status before attempting to flash anything that is not it's own stock software on any kind of android device(regardless of what model it is) to verify if the bootloader is locked or unlocked. If it is locked, you can't flash it with anything that is not it's own stock software, attempting to do so always results in a bricked device. If it is unlocked, you can flash it without the bootloader causing a problem, but that does not guarantee that what you flash will work, it just guarantees that you won't brick the device due to a locked bootloader.

How can I root Reeder A8 i Quad 2 GB ?

I tried the things you said in the discussion but it didn't work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sharky1984:
i have the same issues like this guy. It seems like the fastboot mode is disabled, the script just reboots the tablet, and when i try the VolUp+Power it gets me to stock recovery. Anybody knows how to get into the fastboot on that tablet?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
Volume down+power or both volume up&volume down+power.

Or, use adb command

adb reboot bootloader

If you get a menu with fastboot as one of the options, select fastboot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sharky1984:
thank you for your fast reply ) that i even didn't hope )

So:

VolDown+ power - just powers on the tablet

VolUp+VolDown+power - enters the stock recovery

adb reboot bootloader - tried before, so as the script is also working with that command - just reboots the system

I get no menu with the options as you said, and as i also saw on other tablets :(

So i kinda lost my hope :(

I readed about some Thrive Toshiba tablets that they disabled the fastboot in the last updates. But they do have a application that after you install you can rollback the firmware to that version where the fastboot was working. But, that app is not doing any progress on my tablet. And then i've searched for any firmware donwgrades for my tablet - nothing there too. This tablet has just one option - upgrade the firmware through the service update application until the last one, and you don't have any way back after, which is pretty ****ty, cause without root it's just a piece of garbage with 4 GB of storage
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
