[Miscellaneous Android Development] bardell3600:
Corrected Instuctions

I decided to just post them again with the correct links and added/modified info.

The modifications are in the brackets [ ]

[This is originally a repost in total from the MaDaCo forum

1.	Download this zip file (click the downward arrow at the top) and unzip it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7DAEqCL3OYua0djOHJ3c0FwbW8/view

2.	Copy the su update zip (named “UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46” in the extracted folder from step #1; 1) to your Hudl 2’s internal memory or 2) preferably, its microSD card. Remember where you put it for step 9, below!

3.	Ensure drivers for adb are installed. Run them from the “adbfastboothudl” folder in the zip folder from step 1.

??Install these ADB drivers lso: https://drive.google...C02Q0VBQnc/view??

[there are no Windows drivers in “adbfastboothudl” and the Google Drive link drivers did not get the ADB device installed. A comment to the original post at the MaDaCo forum say these work:

•	https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices

•	or here http://www.mediafire.com/download/8mlrrgzkzd0woud/IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.9.0.zip

SEE ALSO, below, using the Windows PDAnet installation program PdaNetA4180.exe to load the correct ADB drivers]

4.	Enable USB debugging from developer settings on the hudl. .

5.	If you don't know how to turn on USB Debugging, here is how:

Quote

1)	Go to Settings menu on your device.

2)	Go to About tablet submenu.

3)	Now scroll to “Build Number” and tap it multiple times.

4)	After tapping it enough times you will see an alert saying “You are now a developer”/”Developer mode has been enabled”.

5)	Now if you go to your Settings menu, you will see the developer options submenu over there.

6)	Tap on the Developer options and then turn on USB Debugging.

6.	Start the root process by clicking double clicking “launcher” in the “IntelAndroid-FBRL-01-17-2015” folder and watch your HUDL screen. It may show a pop up asking to accept your PC’s “fingerprint” or something like that and show a long number of random characters. Click accept.

7.	On the next window type “T3” without quotes when asked for options.

8.	The Hudl should reboot to the new recovery which is CWM recovery. The screen should be grey and show a Hat symbol.

9.	Navigate to [ “install zip” using the volume keys and the power button is enter. And then either "choose zip from sdcard" or "choose zip from external sdcard" depending on where you put it in step 2.] Then choose the “UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46” zip you copied earlier.

10.	Click enter and wait.

11.	It should reboot your hudl back to normal and it will be rooted.

[you have to select the “go back” option until you see reboot listed

Then it will offer the option to “Fix Root” in a long list of “No”s – just select “no”]

*OBLIGATORY* I am not responsible for a bricked HUDL or any damage done to it. I dont know if this voids the warranty also but it shouldn't. If you follow the guide it will be easy and hard to break your hudl.

Troubleshooting:

If you get "UNKNOWN DEVICE" (for “UNAUTHORIZED” see next below) error or something along those lines in red writing when using launcher.bat

•	, install the pdanet drivers (http://pdanet.co/) and see if that fixes the issue. it did for me once.

[many have said this step is essential. I had to use the drivers packed with the PDAnet installer myself]

[If you get “[U]UNAUTHORIZED[/U]” look at the Hudl screen and accept the connection and then run “T3” again.]
