The question if bootloader is locked or not hasn't been answered yet.

Finally rooted

Finally I could root mi Edison 3 mini tablet. But I couldn't backup the original firmware because mounting problem when I attempt that.

Thanks!!!.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Looks like bootloader is locked, as signatures are being checked.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Thanks, I unpacked recovery.img, boot.img, fastboot.img and system.img.

Just curious what was in them.

You have 2GB system partition and 1.5GB partition cache, most likely you will get updated to 5.0.

The Dell rep for a Dell roll out I'm working on says the whole Venue xx4x line will be getting the 5.x.x update sometime after February.

He's a sales rep note a technical rep I suspect why he gave me such a generic time frame.

Hi,

I'm testing this on an Asus TF103C,

I'm on Linux so I don't utilize your batch file but I flash recovery.zip, recovery.launcher, the trigger then launch the OEM command.

Apparently, all is good but at the end I have a black screen, is it possible that the recovery need a file (like a screen driver)?

When in that state, I didn't have acces at adb so no logs of what is bad.

If you have any idea of what could be wrong,

Thanks for your work :)

Hi,

I successfully launched CWM using T3 option on Teclast X98 Air 3G

But when backing up to external storage there is an error message that the boot partition

cannot be mounted:

It doesn't know how to handle it I assume. . .

I think I need to change the recovery.fstab generator to mark the file system type for boot as emmc if the file system type is marked as hidden so it won't attempt to mount it don't think it should prevent rooting though. cwm recovery doesn't attempt to mount recovery or fastboot automatically but does attempt to automatically mount boot on startup. . .

Hi to all.

I like this kind of proyect. I am no expert. But I like to learn from all of you.

I was aproach by PM but looking at this thread I guess I can share with you all. Here was the mesage:

I own a GT-P5210 Galaxy Tab3 Wifi. I been told that the boots are unlock! What ever this means!

I do notplay with boot partitions, onece because it is riski but because I am afraid of this Lock busness.

In fact, there are about 20 partitions on my device, there are many that I do not touch. So I had work with recovery, data, system and deleted the cashe. I have play with with boot to modified its kernel in atemps to overcome some issue with KitKat. But to be honest I quit and returned to 4.2.2.

Yes I posted my Pit, and yes It should be posible to dump most of the partitions. Clearly some will be empty, others may not be posible. Then It could be posible that some may be encrypyed or paked in some unknown protocol. I seen reports in some devices, mostly GSM, that the problem to play with it is to lose the device Identity (Like MAC or IMEI) resulting in lost of GSM or WIFI??

All this situation is created for Selinux, Knox etc. It is important to say that SELINUX is an invention of N S A. Yes Nat1onal Secur1ry Ag3ncy. You know what ther bussnes is about! They had developt an extencive antytampering mechanisim. What you whant to do will not be eassy and may not be posible. It will depend in how many of those mecanisims are in place.

In fact I have predicted the Death of Andorid in the Near Near future. Once all the Selinux related stuff is in place our devices will be just be Ears of Uncle Sam. And people will realice we have to go another way. Simple the fun in this is that we are the real owners, and thatnwe can do what ever improvement we decide to implement. But if we are just going to have a pice of sh.... that can not be modified and even worst get updated and program by who knows! Why I want to pay for this.

This my last Samsung device purchase 1 year an a half ago, the P5210, And I have no plans to purchase another of this unsuported devices in many years to come.

1. Try to use this version

2. Install disk info and look at the number of your sdcard (must be mmcblk1p1) (if it is different, you need to fix the archive of: IntelAndroid-FBRL/FB_RecoveryLauncher/recovery.zip/etc/recovery.fstab

[MENTION=5688554]r2d23cpo[/MENTION]

I am not for sure the meaning of your post, I have two intel devices, have talk with many people, many support staff, have came to conclusion intel locks all their devices.

Vendors have to pay intel for unlocking key, most vendor's don't bother buying these unlock key ie firmware, cause they have their own signature key that will pass the bootloader checks.

Intel is free to release the firmware anytime they want, they simply refuse and wrongly point people to vendors hoping enough concern will strong arm vendors into paying intel to remove their locks which no one wanted in the first place.

None of these devices are the same, so no way to create one stop bootloader unlock. Intel has to release the firmware to unlock each model.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] social-design-concepts:
[MENTION=5688554]r2d23cpo[/MENTION] was actually responding to a request from me simply to examine and compare against . . . i wanted a fresh perspective from a device that doesn't use the Intel standard stage one bootloader that most devices use.

ODM's should have an engineering firmware to aid in development , Intel might locked their devices to prevent other stage one bootloaders from being used.

that makes little to know sense as if Intel locks the bootloader and requires a ODM to pay for it to be unlocked an ODM's private key would never pass the bootloader checks and if it is the case it would mean that if some one figured out or leaked this magic process that the ODM used to bypass intel's check we could do the same thing.

Maybe Intel issues Vendors Private keys for signing?

One thing though Intel does offer their own remote signing service to ODM's that is a paid service.

This is the biggest issue its a he said she said situation Intel blames Vendor , Vendor blames Intel circle repeats.

It defiantly wouldn't be a one size fits all it would for sure be chip specific from what i can tell there is 8 versions of the Clovertrail Plus SOC but it doesn't mean impossible.

But back to why I want to review is because a few of the Samsung bins and images I have already seen have osip formated headers

Hi,

I am just trying to root an Acer iconia B1-730HD I have the device recognised and using triggering T2 but i am having the issue of fastboot hanging and saying waiting for device as per the note from the OP.

only getting as far as point 4 as below,

4 : after selecting the trigger your device should reboot in to fastboot and begin to copy files to your device

note : if your device hangs at the waiting-for-device screen and you see droidboot CMD Waiting on your devices double check that the fastboot driver installed correctly.

What is it exactly that i need to do is it drivers in the zip file i downloaded or additional drivers needed, i am lol at myself as its got me stuck at a relatively easy point i have rooted numerous device in the past and cant believe i am stuck at this point. Anybody please help

or provide the drivers

thanks in advance qball

How did it work out?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
I haven't tried it yet, I don't know enough about Intel tablets to be comfortable with making a decision either way. I want to at some point try installing windows on this thing because it hasn't been attempted on this model yet. I don't want to brick it and there is very little useful information about this model, I'm trying to be careful so I don't screw up the chance to do something tricky that I've never done before. I haven't bricked a device yet because I'm careful to gather as much info as I can before I attempt anything and I don't want to ruin my winning streak, so to speak, lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Well, if you've got a UEFI, it's pretty much impossible to brick as long as you have a powered USB hub, an OTG cable, a USB keyboard/mouse, and a flash drive with a Linux distribution on it.

You can make an entire backup of the tablet, then if something breaks you can restore the backup.

The script that [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] is talking about also makes a recovery file that can be flashed with the Intel Phone Flash Tool. This requires that you can get into DNX mode, however. Typically it's Volume Up, Volume Down and Power.

If you're feeling confident, I'd suggest trying it out and seeing how it goes. Otherwise, not much can go wrong thanks to UEFI.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
I've got a hub but not a powered hub. I can get to DNX mode.

I've already tried booting a USB but I can't change boot device priority in my BIOS, I can select it but it doesn't keep the changes.

I've already created a backup using the Temp recovery session.

Where do I find a guide for what you're talking about?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] social-design-concepts:
It's not out yet I'm waiting to hear back from 1 user currently it's technically by invention only as its easier for md to support only a few people if something was to go wrong. But I'm fairly confident now that it is completely usable for daily use.

No kid this weekend so I'll probably post the thread this weekend i'll probably make it a devdb project so I can add a couple of users to help maintain the thread if their is anybody interested in helping maintain the list of supported devices and firmware versions.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
I'm only beginning to dig into Intel mobile devices but I'm always willing to get involved in as much as I can in any area of XDA, the things we all do here have become a big part of my life in my free time. Not sure how much of a benefit I'd be but you can put me on the list if you want.

Hi, I'm interested in exploring another approach. Is it possible to edit certain files or replace them with edited versions in order to obtain root?

As this is dual-boot I have installed the Paragon Efs browser add-on for Ext 2/3/4 which means that from Windows 10 I can modify, replace and delete files present in folders in the Android partitions. Any suggestions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
What you are wanting to do has nothing to due with this thread, If you have read and write access to Android, you could add root that way, but that's not the same as this root method.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] agustincordoba:
Point taken; this was what I meant by "a different approach". Thanks for taking the trouble to reply in any case. Would you be able to point me to a thread where obtaining root by means of R/WR access to Android is discussed?

Thanks again

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Droidriven:
Download the appropriate su and busybox binaries(busybox not really necessary for standard root but its recommended, it supports other mods you may want to do at some point) for your architecture and place them in your system/xbin folder and then place the superSU and busybox apks in your system/app folder and you should be good to go unless their are specifics that you'll need in addition depending on your device and your manufacture's security and signature protocols.

I tried rooting my ASUS zenpad 7.0 z370cg without luck. Also tried all one click root tools i could find. Any solution? Manual way? This device is pretty much unusable without root.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
[MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION], feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but your Zenpad's incompatible.

It uses an Intel Atom x3, which is a next-generation Atom chip. Intel patched this exploit on these newer devices, so the recovery won't work. You'll have to wait for a different exploit to crop up (and, by rule of thumb, if the x3 Atom devices get popular enough, one will surface)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Morfarj:
I know it is not "officially" supported, but i was hoping for some solution anyway. I Hope someone finds a solution, because this device is really slow and battery hungry.

Thanks for your answer anyway :good:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Has nothing to due with recovery, these recoveries are able to root any version of Intel.

Your problem is your bootloader, has nothing to due with recovery either.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] r_nation:
Before I unlocked it I tried and was getting "command not allowed in this device state" device state:locked
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Yes, your bootloader doesn't allow flashing in fastboot, again nothing to due with recovery a new recovery won't fix your problem, you need a bootloader that allows flashing.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] social-design-concepts:
Isn't the v10 bootloader unlocked? You could just build twrp for the device and not need tethered. I don't think your device doesnt flash it probably flashes boot / recovery / system images just fine.

The tethered doesn't work because the feature i exploited no longer exist newer fastboot / droidboot versions don't support pushing files through the fastboot flash command to the ramdisk.

With kernel source available I'm surprised no one has built a custom recovery yet.

well not really it seems only the zenfone2 getting love from the dev community.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Dell venue 8 and ares 8 both have custom recoveries. There are a few more, I know for a fact those two do.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] r_nation:
I unlocked the bootloader and have a "device has been altered" message upon every boot but the "warning" is in orange which means I'm free to flash supposedly, unfortunately there is literally no development for v10..I'm not sure if it matters but the kernel source on Intel open source is 5.0.x and my v10 shipped with 5.1 unfortunately compiling a recovery is a little over my head..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
Having the kernel source isn't needed for recovery, you simply use stock recovery kernel.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] r_nation:
I appreciate your feedback but still wouldn't have a clue on building a recovery.
