[Teclast X98 Air 3G] stratos7:
not sure if this belongs here, but couldn't find a teclast x80 pro section

I was looking to make this tab android only and then root it

found on the internet different sources for each procedure, so decided to compile everything in one place with full credits

teclast x80 pro [root + keep android only for 25gb storage]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[for 25gb of storage and android only]

first get the tools: https://www.mediafire.com/?qxwxz1mz47g7mkv

install PhoneFlashTool, iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0, IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.5.0

then you need to check what firmware your tab is on, it's written on the back of the tablet

mine was on E3E9 however teclast site didn't have the firmware so I used the e3e8 instead and it works fine :D

download the firmware from http://www.teclast.com/en/firmware/

you need to get the android.rar

when it's done, unpack the android.rar

then unpack the gpt.rar

take the gpt.bin and copy-paste it in the android folder, replacing the original gpt.bin

put tablet in dnx mode, press volume +, volume - and power at the same time

connect tab to pc with usb cable

run the phone flash tool browse for the android folder and flash the android image

after it is done you have 25gb all for android :D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[for root access]

you must have adb drivers installed for this to work

copy+paste the UPDATE-SuperSU.zip to the tablet

with the tab switched on normally and connected to pc with usb cable go to settings>developer options and check "oem unlocking" and "usb debugging"

then go to the toolbox folder and double-click 1.Unlock_Bootloader.bat

wait for it to do the work, then reboot and again go to settings>developer options and check "oem unlocking" and "usb debugging"

then double-click 2.Unlock_Verity-boot.bat, reboot and repeat oem and debug settings

then double click 3 Flash-boot.bat , reboot and repeat oem and debug settings

steps 4 and 5 from the toolbox folder didn't work for me, if it works for you after double-click all good

if it doesn't: shift+right click the toolbox folder with tab connected to pc and "open command window here"

copy and paste this in the command window:

adb reboot fastboot

"press enter"

fastboot flash recovery TWRP-X80-pro.img

"press enter"

adb reboot recovery

"press enter"

from the twrp menu, select install and browse for the UPDATE-SuperSU.zip you copy+pasted earlier

reboot and you should have root access + fully working twrp recovery :D

other stuff

this tab gets really hot when gaming by the way

one way to fix this is to get the no frills cpu control from the play store and set the max speed for the processor to

1,2 or 1,3, from 1,92, this gets the heat down to almost normal and won't burn your hand anymore like it used too :P

now I can play and read in peace

here is WalterNimoy's solution to root on E3E9

thanks for sharing buddy ~

------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem is in the boot.img. So, to root the E3E9, you mus essentially follow the tutorial above, but instead of the backup for the E3E8, download the version for the E3E9. You can do it here.

E3E9 Teclast X80 Pro : http://www.teclast.com/tools/pad/pad.php?t=p

Then after, the real solution. You must absolutely use another version of the boot.img. If you use the one in the tutorial with the E3E9, you won't have sound, touchscreen buggy, etc. So use this one instead. It's also v. 1.07. I believe it's was originally made for the X80 Power, but it work perfectly with the X80 Pro E3E9.

Finally, if you have a problem when it's time to root, inthe step 4, enter the command manually. It was the solution to make it work for me.

Here you go! Your X80 Pro E3E9 should be rooted, with everything working. Let me know if it also worked for you!
