I don't think you have unlocked the bootloader. I do know you can make a nandroid backup from cwm. I also have a rooted a1-830 but I used a different method. I heard there are no roms but if there is that's fantastic:good:.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] flickster2000:
Oh I see. Thanks for that. :victory:

Guess I'm stuck using GravityBox/other toolkits for now lol :cyclops:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ramiabouzahra:
Yup just please, never ever use ROM toolbox. It will brick your device! I had 3 Acer a1-830 because of it. First I thought it was because of how I rooted it (used my own little special way), I took it down to the shop after I removed root (stuck in bootloop) and got a new one. That one I rooted using mykitbach method and I use the toolbox device booted, but every app crashed and even though I had access to internet, it would say I didnt, did a restore and I couldn't sign in with google. Removed root and got a new one. This one I have rooted but not gonna do much with it since there are literally 0 backups and stuff. Just my words

Ok I want to thank R212Warden for their help in getting the Kurio Xtreme tablet rooted using this thread... here is how we did it...

The only thing that I seemed to be missing in the entire process was the Intel Atom Drivers for Windows 10 which I got from here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices

After I installed the driver (small file), I ran the launcher.bat again and followed the instructions given by R212Warden, here is what those options to choose were:

[1] Option 5 (cwm.zip

[2] Option T3

And it started working... however...

On my computer screen the script said that something failed... but on the tablet, everything went smoothly and it booted into the tethered recovery mode where I installed (flashed) the BETA_SuperSU file that is linked (put on your sd card) in this thread... and then I rebooted the Kurio Xtreme tablet 4.4.2 and SuperSU "was" in the apps. Success!

I have just got finished installed Titanium Backup ROOT, Lucky Patcher, and a few other "root only" programs that I enjoy on my android devices...

This DOES WORK, you just have to have the right drivers installed... it took me 3 days before I PM'd someone and asked the questions that I could not figure out.

Thanks again to social-design-concepts and R212Warden
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giovix92:
You see on your screen "Failed (too many links)" because when he tries to view if the flash is ok, the recovery is already booted, showing failed in your screen. You can try the TWRP too, it not affects your device [emoji6]

Hey all,

I attempted to root my Acer Iconia One 7 B1-730HD (running Android 4.4.2) previously but had the problem of interference from Droidboot. With the latest release of software, I can get by that issue but I am having the following issue now:

E: failure to verify whole-file signature from /tmp/sideload/package.zip

E: signature verification failed

I've tried both UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip and the BETA version v2.71 as well.

Am I missing something??

Thanks to everyone who had worked on this project as well!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ramiabouzahra:
Are you using the cwm recovery because that sounds like an issue that you would have on the stock recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TheGruffalo:
I followed the instructions (I think)

(1) selected #5 cwm.zip

(2) use T2 (as noted the B1-730HD is T2)

(3) In droidboot I go to Recovery and select and it reboots and says Android system recovery <3e> // Acer_AV0K0_B1-730HD_1.015.00_WW_GEN1 with a number of options

(4) select apply from external storage

(5) select UPDATE-SuperSU version

It starts to install then fails with the verification error.

Am I getting it wrong?

thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ramiabouzahra:
Yup that's the default recovery, are you connected to your PC when you do this because this is a tethered recovery

Are you connected to your PC when you do this because this is a tethered recovery session
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TheGruffalo:
Yes, I'm connected via USB using the ADB drivers.

What am I missing then? I assume I'm missing a step somewhere?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] social-design-concepts:
alot of Intel devices will mistakenly install the fastboot / bootloader drivers as adb a lot of times you'll need to manually select the driver in device manager.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ramiabouzahra:
If you want to tcheck and see if you have adb drivers, open up an adb command window and connect your device. Make sure to have usb debugging on and grand the computer permission from the tablet. Then type the following in the command window ''adb devices''. You should see your device id there and if you dont, I highly recommend checking this thread. It seems that it also has a permanent recovery.img that you can flash and a backup incase you mess up.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TheGruffalo:
I have the device connected via adb drivers now and things look good but when I get to the set to install UPDATE-SuperSU, droidboot keeps popping up infront of the screen I need to use to load from the external SD. Seems I'm stuck as I was before :(. Thanks for all your help guys.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giovix92:
Wrong. ADB is useless on droidboot mode, because it don't use ADB drivers. Droidboot uses fastboot drivers. You CAN'T flash ANYTHING on ADB. Only sideloading.

Try this:

1) Open up a fastboot shell

2) Reboot in droidboot, make sure you have the drivers installed, connect your phone to your pc and type: fastboot device. It should be a device.

3) Open launcher.bat

4) Select 5 cwm.zip

5) Select T2/T3/T1/T4

6) DON'T GO IN RECOVERY MODE! STAY ON FASTBOOT MODE! THE RECOVERY WILL APPEAR AUTOMATICALLY if the process goes fine.

7: Flash your desired zip and reboot

Enjoy!

Is anyone try this way determine the root Tesla tablet L7 3G? And if so, would you be kind enough to share it with us.

Sorry for my bad English.

Thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ramiabouzahra:
Try the root method for the only Tesla device available. I am not responsible for any bricks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Try this tool, if it doesn't work absolutely no harm will be done to your device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giovix92:
Wrong. A bootloop may occour if you root your device. This tool, also, will don't do anything automatically. It boots a recovery and you need to flash a supersu zip. If a bootloop occours, a factory reset (specially for asus tablets/phones) is the only chance to get your device working. I'm an FE380CG user, and i've used this tool maaany times, with bootloops/hard bricks for flashing wrong zip files to locked /system partition.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
What I'm saying is that if the tool can't boot into the temporary TWRP, then no harm will be done.

Of course a bootloop can occur if you root, again, I'm saying if the tool doesn't work it won't hurt anything.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] social-design-concepts:
That's by design, that way you can create a backup of you devices system partition before hand so if something goes wrong you can restore your backup, but the tool makes no changes to your device it's self the recovery session is temporary, so there is no risk in using the tool, the risk is in rooting, and what you do after.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giovix92:
Yes, if the recovery will not boot, after a reboot the /tmp partition (when the recovery is temp-flashed) will be erased.

Yes, but if you have a non-unblockable bootloader, and if you restore this backup if anything goes wrong, like a bootloop... the device will be unusable due to hard brick, right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Nope.

A locked bootloader will only boot official boot/recovery images (except with this exploit of course) so as long as the Nandroid you are restoring has an official kernel (which, if your bootloader is locked, it will) it'll boot fine. I've made and restored plenty of Nandroid backups from TWRP, and that was before my device had an insecure bootloader.

With my experience these locked UEFI tablets will still boot to Android if the recovery is unofficial so won't boot, and vice versa, and either way DNX mode exists as does fastboot, so it's REALLY difficult to brick these things. Theoretically it could happen, but you'd have to try.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giovix92:
Hmmm... yes, you're right. I wrote them because i've only the droidboot mode. No recovery installed/other. Already tried with another user to recover a K016 (FE380CG) from a working nandroid backup, but nothing. Only stuck on asus logo.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TheGruffalo:
Unfortunately, I have an issue between step 6 and 7. The recovery appears as you say but when I attempt to move using the volume buttons, the droidboot interface replaces what was there and then just reboots the device. No harm done but wish the result was better. Thanks to everyone that helped!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giovix92:
Try to boot TWRP instead of cwm ;)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spectre51:
Trying to get root on my Intel DreamTab 8 using this method. I can get it booted into the recovery but there is no install option only reboot, wipe data/factory reset an wipe cache. It's just booting into the stock recovery.

I get the following message as it is loading:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] social-design-concepts:
what version, what trigger? I believe 7/24 and trigger T3 or T4, what does the command window display?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spectre51:
Using 7/24 and tried T3 and T4. The command window just stays as shown in the attached image the whole time.

The device reboots when I choose T3/T4 and boots into the droid boot menu where I can reboot, shutdown, recovery, or reboot bootloader.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] social-design-concepts:
The temp recovery session isn't starting, intel devices have a bad habit of installing adb drivers istead of bootloader drivers for fastboot, you need to go to device manger and update the driver, select let me choose and choose the one for bootloader.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Spectre51:
Okay got it working finally...stupid driver issues :). thanks for the help.

Thanks SDC for saving my Lenovo Tab S8

SDC, thanks for your help in restoring my soft bricked Lenovo Tab S8. I did the latest small Lollipop update and the update progress bar went to the end then the tablet froze and soft bricked my device. I had made a TWRP backup with your instructions before this update and also used it to root the device. A few things I learned is that:

The tablet needs to be in the Bootloader mode to connect to the adb bridge to run the TWRP batch file from the PC. The Recovery mode did not connect to the adb bridge.

When I installed the Intel Flash Tool programs, it replaced the Lenovo adb drivers with Intel USB android drivers and relabeled the device in the Windows Deivce Manager as Intel SoC Device so you cannot figure out why the Lenovo ADB Device is no longer detected. I uninstalled the Intel Flash Tool and Android Studio then reinstalled the Android Studio.

These may have been posted already but I was not able to find them. Without your TWRP backup, I would not have been able to fix this because the Intel Flash Tool did not work. Your work is greatly appreciated! :good:

Hello

Try to root my Chuwi Hi8 Pro dual OS with this method but i've got some errors in Fastboot :

Failed to write recovery .... etc and the cwm recovery wont start. (Tried T1, T2, T3 and T4 but same error) ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cruncher1234:
Chuwi Hi8 Pro

If you find a way to root the Chuwi Hi8 Pro i would be interested in it aswell. The errror messages scroll too fast to read but in the end i see that the files in /tmp probably do not exist.

If you connect with adb to the tablet (adb root, adb shell) then you are already root but /system is read-only and it it impossible to remount it rw.

So i dumped /dev/block/dm-0 to a file with dd which i then pulled from the tablet and mounted it on my linux server. Now i hope it will work to copy all the "su" files to the right directories and restore the image on the tablet.

As somebody already mentioned it is probably protected with dm-verity "If verification fails, the device generates an I/O error indicating the block cannot be read. It will appear as if the filesystem has been corrupted, as is expected." (Cannot add link to the site)

So, how to disable vertify ? I can see a verity_key in / - probably it should be deleted ?

I also copied xbin to /data and added busybox and other tools including su - but how to make it recognized by root tools ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] social-design-concepts:
Sounds like verity is enabled, it it is you need a system less root
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cruncher1234:
So i destroyed my system partition but fortunately i got my hand on the firmware to reinstall android.

The funny thing is that the "Intel Phone Flash Tool" just calls "fastboot" as i did to flash the system partition. Next try will be to modify the system.img that is in the original firmware.

Update: So the system.img is in Android Sparse Image Format which needs to be converted to raw ext4 and then somehow back again to sparse image.

Help with teclast x98 air III

Hello everybody, :laugh:

Before my question, I have to thank all the people in this community sharing their knowledge in order to improve our devices and overcome the problems that we find during the use.

PROBLEM: I have read the thread, but I did not find the solution (I am a newbie, and there are a lot of things I don't really understand). Thing is:

- I have a dualboot teclast x98 air III (m5c5), dualboot with android and windows.

- The android rom it comes with is an original stock rom without chinese apps, but I want to root it.

- I TRY to enter in the TWRP tethered using my windows laptop, but I CANNOT get there. I have a twrp installed in my phone, but I cannot find which is the proper procedure to get to the TWRP screen and install the Supersu.zip

Additional information: I get to the screen to choose the trigger (after writing "accept", so my pc recognizes the tablet)

Could someone turn on a light and show me the way to do it? Thank you to everyone. :)

On my Acer iconia one 7 (B1-730HD), I can not cwm because when I press power to select an item, it reboots, (I think it is because of the fastboot menu reboot item selected.), and when I press the volume buttons to move the highlight, I see the fastboot menu.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pcwizzy37:
trigger 1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
You might want to try all triggers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
This.

If a trigger doesn't work, it won't do any harm. Trigger 1 doesn't work with much, anyways.

You might have better luck with triggers 3 or 4, but it won't hurt to try all four of them.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pcwizzy37:
All the other triggers do the same thing for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
That is odd, I am sure other's have rooted the same tablet with this method.

I only use Linux, and provide Linux version of this root method, it's the same as the windows version just for Linux.

Have you tried Google to see which trigger other users are using for this tablet?

OK, I did a quick Google, trigger 2.

I've just got my tablet, its an intel powered Cavion Base 10 3GR device, I tried this method, I think it would suceed, except the tablet doesnt seem to want to start in fastboot, ADB sees it, I can even execute adb reboot bootloader but it just restart the tablet without starting in fastboot... there is even an option in stock recovery to start in bootloader but it still just restart this magnificent tablet... so I just get stuck on Waiting for device line... any ideas for this? :/

Edit: Also, first when I got it, tried to root it with Kingo Root, when I plugged it it said it was rooted already, but I checked with a root checker and it wasnt, so I went on and rooted it anyways, it passed, root checker said its rooted, but superuser said it wasnt, so I tried removing the root with Kingo Root, it suceeded, but right after unrooting, superusers started asking for permissions... dunno how.. then I restarted my tablet and since then every root attempt fails...
