Haha. Of course. :D It was all possible because of OpenKirin team's efforts. :)

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] adriansticoid:
Don't be demanding. The Honor 8 is not the only device gopinaidu77 develops. In addition to that, the OpenKirin team haven't yet uploaded the display drivers necessary to build fully functional ROMs.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] gopinaidu77:
Well , i will update the roms soon . Kindly dont be demanding as am doing all this in my free times .
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] dkionline:
We know it needs time. I also do that in free time.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] gopinaidu77:
Ok then u can do build one urself instead of demanding us or wasting ur time making posts.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] dkionline:
I build stock, not aosp.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] venugopalu007:

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] DigiGoon:
Okay, so Dirty Unicorns is giving a bootloop. I can just get to the Unlock Bootloader warning screen, after that it reboots. Doesn't get to bootanimation too.

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] gopinaidu77:
DU may or may not boot.

Currently there were issues while building du ,i shouldn't atleas post this here. But i saw initial build working. Any how ,i will build it when got sometime. Till then u can use other roms
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] fix-this!:
yeah it's not on the DU website either so I'm assuming it's an early non booting build.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] adriansticoid:
It's an unofficial build so you won't find it there.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] gopinaidu77:
They the first one in folder
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
[MENTION=2472806]vampirefo[/MENTION] has a solution, but has not released it. I'm not sure if it needs more work or testing before release? He has been quiet in this regard. It is my hope that he will reply with more relevant information about this.

I and maybe others, would be willing to give a donation, if that would help.

Thanks

Bootloader unlocking

WARNING! UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR DATA!

DON'T DO THE UNLOCKING UNTIL WE CAN REMOVE ENCRYPTION AND HAVE TWRP FOR BACKUP. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

You can enable the ability for the bootloader to be unlocked with a setting in the developer options. Like I stated, it enables the ability to unlock it, but does not unlock it. On must use the command in adb, through a computer. make sure usb debugging is enabled in the developer options. In a command prompt issue adb devices to make sure your device is showing up. There will be a prompt on your tablet to allow this. Confirm this.

Now with the tablet off, boot into fastboot by hold the volume key down button and the power button at the same time. Also, you can type: adb reboot bootloader then hit enter to get into bootloader or fastboot mode.

Once in fastboot mode, open a command prompt in windows and type fastboot devices to confirm your device is still showing up. If my memory serves me correctly there will also be a security confirmation on the tablet, to approve.

To unlock the bootloader type: fastboot flashing unlock. All data will be deleted and (I believe,) the tablet will be re-encrypted upon boot, without encryption option removed from the bootloader.

I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS, AS I DON'T WANT TO DELETE DATA, UNTIL WE HAVE TWRP TO BACKUP AND ROOT.

6/7/2017 UPDATE: I HAVE UPDATED THE UNLOCK COMMAND. I HAVE UNLOCKED MY BOOTLOADER. AS I THOUGHT, ALL USER DATA IS DELETED (FACTORY RESET). I USED THE FIRST:

"fastboot flashing unlock" Unlocks the device. Allows flashing any

partition except bootloader-related

partitions

"flashing unlock_critical" Enables flashing bootloader-relate partitions.

all fastboot commands are listed by just typing fastboot, while booted into bootloader mode. My tablet is still running great with my bootloader unlocked. One more tiny step toward gaining root, however, there is still a long way to go.

Please post any additional info if I have something wrong, or left out any important steps.

Thanks

Geenify: How to grant permissions required by some features on non-root device?

I am currently using Greenify on my non-rooted device and it is working very well.

By using adb, one can grant it additional permission so it performs almost as well on an unrooted device. Here is a link for this:

https://greenify.uservoice.com/know...o-grant-permissions-required-by-some-features

I copied and pasted each command, one at a time, in the command prompt then hit enter, to enable each one.

In Greenify settings, I also have aggressive doze enabled, Automated hibernation enabled, Wakeup Tracker enabled and Quick action Notification enabled.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
How to boot into stock recovery mode

To boot to the stock recovery through adb:

adb reboot recovery

You will see "no command" on the tablet.

Hold the power button and volume up for about 4sec then release the volume up, where you should go to the stock recovery screen.

You can also get to it without a computer. With the tablet shut down, hold the volume down power button until it boots to bootloader or fastboot mode.

Use the volume up or down button to toggle through the options: normal boot, restart bootloader, recovery mode, reboot, power off and ftm mode. Choose recovery and use the volume up and power button as before.

In addition you can get to the efi bootmanager by holding the volume up, power button when the device has been shutdown first.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
adb security confirmation

Unlike my Nextbook Ares 8 with 5.1.1, with this newer tablet which has 6.0.1, I have to reaffirm the security prompt on the device each time, despite checking the box: "Always allow from this computer".

Maybe this is because of the tightened security in Android Marshmallow? I'm not sure.

If there is a way around this each time, please let me know

Thanks

UPDATE: After I unlocked the bootloader and the tablet was factory reset, I no longer have to re-approve each time after checking the box: "Always allow from this computer"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] allmehtc:
Would love to see some break throughs with this device aswell. Cheers to any one working in it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giftlift:
Is this relevant? It would seem they are the same device. twitter.com/srsroot/status/846663673645010944?lang=en
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
Don't try any of these one click root solutions. none work to my knowledge on android 6.01, (at least on this device) , and may install malware or pups on your host computer.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giftlift:
:good::good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
This requires a lot of work.

1. Google kernel source.

2. Build bootable kernel

3. Unlock bootloader

4. Boot kernel with 5.1 ramdisk.

5. Use adb to pull boot.img and recovery.img

6. Download TWRP source modify source for intel

7. Make device tree

8. Unpack recovery.img use that kernel in your TWRP.

9. Make boot.img permissive, remove encryption repack and flash.

10. Flash TWRP.

11. Flash system mode SuperSU for root.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cjhudson101:
What would it take to interest [MENTION=2472806]vampirefo[/MENTION] in rooting this tablet and providing a nice clean ROM for the Ares 8A??? :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
For me to root and provide TWRP recovery, I would need the tablet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cjhudson101:
My bad, I guess I misunderstood one of your posts where you said you successfully rooted the tablet, but were withholding the method...

What if I sent you one? :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vampirefo:
You didn't misread, I rooted my son's, he doesn't live near me, he is in college. He is using my laptop that I used, so all my source files are with him.

I need tablet to start over, I already know what to do but without tablet, I can't do it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Giftlift:
Check your zip in the link, lets get vamp an 8a!

I just got one of these for $35, but now the closest walmart with it in stock is an hour away. Ill totaly send you one if I drive that way for any reason. Check your zip on brickseek (: ..... anyone?

slickdeals.net/f/10189248-nextbook-ares-8a-16gb-tablet-android-6-ymmv-35-bm?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1

it came with 6.0.1 on it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dorpmuller:
Nothing works for me. Igot the bootloader unlocked but when I try fastboot, it says file couldn't be loaded, recovery, boot images, everything. Verified all drivers and everything with minimal adb and fastboot, latest edition. Build no. is v 1.0.8 mmb29m.20161107.053713 . Nothing like your build numbers here...sure could l use some help.

Thanks, Rich
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thejunkie:
after i did everything, got root but wifi wont work.. i did the 2.1.5... anyone fixed wifi yet? i did clear it out and deleted delvik and cache.. my build number is 2.1.1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
Are you sure you didn't flash that on an older version of the tablet?

go to setting: about tablet: scroll to the very bottom to build number: the first few numbers will be, for example: V1.1.1, or V1.2.0, or V2.1.5. The thing I am not certain of is if flashing the wrong boot.img would reflect the correct version or not. Aida64 from the play store is a good utility to find all of this an more. Under system and android, in that app. It sounds like you flashed the wrong boot.img for your version of the tablet.

So please provide more info.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thejunkie:
see my build number starts with 2.1.1

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------

i tried flashing all of the provided builds, and non get my wifi working now, i did not make a backup since everything was working good, but hey, guess i shouldve
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
Yes you should have, as I clearly state in the OP.

So there appears to be a fourth version of this tablet, version 2.1.1

With out you providing me with a backup of the original boot.img to modify, I'm not sure what I can do. Are you still within the 15 day, Walmart electronics, return policy? If so you could return it for a replacement.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thejunkie:
yeah, ill get it exhanged right away, if you wanna wait half an hour i can try and grab another one, if you want text me here directly with your gmail, or name on facebook, and i will text you there for faster communication
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
So does that mean you also tried my TWRP backup V1.2.0, linked in the OP, also. That may work, but there are no guarantees with that slightly older version of the tablet. Let me know either way if that works or not if you didn't try it also.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thejunkie:
Im at walmart right now wonder what build ill get now, ill like a lucky pick

[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
Apparently a fifth version of this tablet I was unaware of. Is it Android 6.0.1 with a kernel version 3.14.64-x86_64? Security patch level and any other relevant info.

Are you on Windows or Linux?

Did you boot into bootloader mode?

when you boot into bootloader mode and type fastboot devices do you see the device listed? If not fastboot is not setup properly, some how. I need more info.

if you can get that to work and then boot into twrp temp recovery by issuing:

fastboot boot Ares8A_recovery_twrp.img and backup system, and boot.

Then if you can provide me with the backed up boot.img file, I can modify it.

it will be named: boot.emmc.win which is the actual boot image and boot.emmc.win.md5 the checksum file. You can upload it to a file sharing site and provide a link, o ras I often do upload to my google drive account and copy the shareable link t give.

If you can't do any of the above then something is wrong with your drivers or fastboot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thejunkie:
everything worked on the previous one, that was the same build, ill try all that in 10 minutes, i attached a image of the new tablet informations in the previous post... if you have anything faster for chatting, hook me up
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
So that is V2.1.1. I would need you to upload a backed up version of that boot.img for me to modify booting into temp twrp:

fastboot boot Ares8A_recovery_twrp.img

hit enter to boot into twrp temp and backup the boot and system to an external sd card and share it on a file sharing site or on google drive by giving me a shareable link to it. they will be named boot.emmc.win, system.ext4.win000, system.ext4.win001 for the actual images and also send the .md5 checksum files.

Is that photo from the display model or the one you bought?

There is a manufacturing date sticker on the box to give you and idea if it is the same built number. I should say February 2017, I believe.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thejunkie:
It is february

---------- Post added at 02:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

What i did on previous one, i followed all the steps, unlocked the bootloader, and installed permanent twrp, ahould i do that again?

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 AM ----------

soo i did unlock the bootloader, booted into twrp.. when i go backup, what do you need..

there is boot

recovery

system

sytsem image
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
[MENTION=4798480]thejunkie[/MENTION] I would boot into temp twrp and backup boot, system and the one I forgot to mention, recovery, first. You could then install twrp permanently, If you want.

I need the boot.img first, to modify it. The others I want to provide backups on my android file host site for others so you can wait, if that is more convenient, as those other files will take a while to upload, where as the boot alone will not.

I would not try to root it yet until you can get the modified boot.img from me.

There is the potential of bootlooping the device, If you do it now. You will also need the official, systemless version of SuperSU instead of the unofficial, systemmode one I provided for the older tablets:

https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thejunkie:
oh i didnt do recovery, ill do that now, it should be uploaded in about an hour, and ill share it as soon as its done
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
I have found out that I didn't modify the sepolicy file in the boot.images I provided and do not have the necessary skills to do so. That, so I am told is why it bootlooped for you with the system mode supersu.

Apparently the systemless install of supersu modifys that in the boot.img that it recreates to avoid that issue. So I was told to have you redo a twrp backup of just the new, now, supersu modified boot.img and it will solve the issue in the future.

Do you have enough data to backup the new boot.img only in twrp and post it as soon as possible so I can replace it with the one I uploaded yesterday?

Let me know, either way. I would like to get my hands on one of the newer versions of the tablet, but I don't think we have any yet in the Indianapolis store, where I work.

I have just found out today that there may be 4 or 5 different versions of this tablet, so as I receive the boot.img from users, I will have to modify each one.

This is becoming a real challenge now.

Thanks for all of you help

Thanks again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thejunkie:
so what do you need me to do now? all i did was unlock bootloader, boot into temp twrp, made a backup of boot recovery and system, and im uploading that now. do you need something else? this all is still Chinese to me, im trying to learn heh
[Miscellaneous Android Development] martyfender:
Just provide me a link to where you are uploading the files. I will modify the boot.img and provide a link for you to download it.

Thanks
