[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayajoy:
hey,

my redmi note 7 pro violet has gotten stuck in twrp menu (official twrp 3.3.1-2-violet). i successfully flashed crDroid rom and was using it. I tried to flash another rom from my phone's internal storage, but then the headings in the storage menu had weird auto-generated type names, i couldnt find the rom, i tried to repair, but no avail, then i tried to reboot, then it keeps rebooting to twrp recovery. Then it got caught up in a twrp menu bootloop whatever i do. I successfully pushed my old rom but was unable to reboot into system, keeps booting to twrp recovery. I am new to rooting, this is the first time i have rooted any phone

Please suggest something, no data required, i just want my phone to boot into a rom as usual

Hi, today I just got the new Fire HD 8 10th generation. ( code name onyx) Has anyone tried to root yet? :D

For information the software version is Fire OS 7.3.14

Highly unlikely not to have been patched, but try running mtk-su on it and see if you can get a root shell.

Kernel and rom update has been published:

kernel: Fire_HD8_10th_Gen-7.3.1.4-20200514.tar.bz2

rom: Fire HD 8 (10th Generation)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] newnewcomputer:
if anyone receives the new HD8 n wanna try rooting, u can download mtk-su by following directions on the first post here

there are a few hands-on reviews: here and here

they like the wireless charging dock n comment that the new tablets are faster. The extra RAM (2x in case of HD8+) certainly helps. But i suspect the lack of swap file (2017) and 100 swappiness default setting (2017 & 2018) have contributed to the slowness in previous gens. those things have been fixed in HD10 2019 so i expect the same in the new HD8 & HD8+

just saw links 2 kernel n ROM been posted on Amazon...unfortunately dat means most likely mtk-su been patched cuz' the un-patched ROM for HD10 2019 was never posted :(

Lol, 1st thing I did when I got my plus hd8 tablet yesterday was 2 disable all the automatic updates, disabled a bunch of other packages, and installed play store, disabled fire launcher and put nova launcher on, all before connecting to wifi(still on 7.3.1.3), I have learned with all the amazon devices I've had to always do these things 1st, havent tried mtk-su yet, not sure if I will

N00b here, How did you do all that before connecting to wifi?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] estallings15:
What method did you use to disable the fire launcher? The toolkit isn't compatible with the 10th gen yet, is it?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] el7145:
The toolkit is really convenient and much faster then doing things manually...but most things the toolkit does can all be done manually via adb and by installing the necessary apks :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] estallings15:
Can you point me to a place where these useful commands might be or do you just know them by heart? This is my first Fire HD tablet and the launcher is absolutely killing me. Every method I've found so far is either antiquated or yet to be updated. I have the play store and Nova launcher, but I want the home button to take me to Nova, not that god awful Fire launcher.

Edit: I just found this. https://1upnote.me/post/2020/02/install-play-store-amazon-fire-tablet/

There ya go, just looked that site over, it's got everything u need, including the command to disable fire launcher, nice job working it out for urself!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] NerdFire:
I ordered one of these for my wife and it arrived less than an hour ago. First impression: It didn't fit the case her previous generation tablet was in, but that's OK (it's a replacement for an older model with a cracked screen).

Second impression: The tablet came with OS 7.3.1.3, and Amazon sure didn't make it easy to avoid upgrading automatically to 7.3.1.4. Part of that is on me. I forgot to uncheck the box linking the tablet to my account so as soon as I fired it up it recognized my network and decided it was going to update. Uh-uh, boss, I hurriedly deregistered it (it will go to her account anyway) and after a couple of reboots got the tablet into airplane mode. It is now charging with developer options enabled. I plan to trot out my toolkit in a few minutes, disable OTA updates (if I can) and install the Play Store so I can restore her library app and two favorite games.

It is likely that the bootrom is disabled on this. I haven't done any short testing, but using the volume and plug in, I am able to get into mediatek preloader. The same method on on the 10hd (2019) kicks it into bootrom. I think mediatek blocked the bootrom.

Unlikely; Android 9 (base for FireOS v7) is well hardened. Most recent exploits have focused on bootloader vulnerabilities. Save yourself the huge headache of trying to hold at a specific firmware build while maintaining functionality. Enjoy your device for what it is.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] cuvtixo:
Well, is it really a "huge" headache? It's fully functional now, as is, and FireOS isn't developed rapidly or radically. I hear frustration in your answer, but Amazon hasn't released ANY updates to this new device. Yes, its not very hopeful, but the downsides to holding back also may be minimal. "Enjoy your device" well, how is blocking indeterminate future updates for the time being going to prevent that? The technical challenges loom large, but... you sound like you need a break from this, get away from developing. After all at this point, the user can still return the device, he has that option. Save the line about enjoying the device when the return window has closed!

You don't need root for this.

Use the toolbox to ensure google play services are enabled. Install "gps tether" either from the Play store or xda if you'd like the gps to come from your phone. In developer settings set gps tether as the mock location app. Done.

I'm not sure how it's works for a gps dongle but the above worked for me as a headunit in my car

I am trying to get Mock Locations to work on Fire 10 (2021) with no luck. The mock locations are never "seen" by any apps running on the tablet....

To me it feels FireOS is blocking this function for some reason....
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] stickfiretv2020:
Not quite root, but unbrick - very likely to lead to root/unlock/unbrick. Depends on whether my calculation about a little talked about tool fbtool/datool is right:

https://xdaforums.com/t/fire-7-2020-mustang-brainstorming.4295541/

Would need a copy of the MT8168 SoC source for fbtool/datool though, only have MT8163. Currently looking around for sources for fbtool - the main mtk one only contains a small number of SoCs.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Valiante:
I'm not sure what "secure mock location" is. Like I mentioned, I only had to set "GPS tether" as the mock location provider with Google Play Services installed on the tablet via the Toolbox.

I did find I needed to do the following for GPS data to actually transmit:

Phone: Enable BOTH server options within the GPS tether app, wifi AND bluetooth

Phone: Enable hotspot

Tablet / Phone: Pair both devices to each other via Bluetooth, when you do it on one device, it means both are connected to each other ... in case that isn't clear.

Tablet: Connect to my phone's hotspot.

Tablet: Set the receiver to Bluetooth, within the GPS tether app.

It seems you've been following my other post in the GPS tether thread for my specific use case to make this tablet into a headunit. Once this setup was completed initially, I automated everything else via Macrodroid.

Now when I enter my car and plug in an AUX cable, it launches GPS tether, enables bluetooth and connects to my phone's hotspot. On my phone, Macrodroid enables hotspot and launches the GPS tether app.

I've used the Pulse text app in all my devices for years. Starting with the 2018 HD8, however, when I download Pulse from Google Play and try to log in, I get this message: "Looks like you already have a primary device for your account and only one is permitted. Do you want to remove the current primary device and set this as the new primary? [yes or no]" I press "no" which then just loops back to the same message. I contacted the app's developer and explained how the app worked in previous Fire tablet generations but no longer. He argued with me and was less than helpful, finally suggesting I use the app on my tablet by logging in on Chrome. I'd hoped with the 2020 HD8(+) the issue would be fixed but I've downloaded the app and the problem still exists. Has anyone else had this problem and figured out what to do?

Use ADB to disable launcher:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] midtempo:
"OEM unlocking" means nothing in the tenth generation Fire tablets. It looks like it does something but it does not. You check off yes, it asks for your tablet password, then it saves your choice as "no" anyway no matter what. If unlocking the bootloader were only than simple, it would have been done by now.

Since I mostly only use this tablet to read news and browse the web I'm happy with only using Fire Toolbox features and not having root. But I'm keeping an eye on a future exploit, since this tablet is perpetually stuck in Android 9 and that obsolescence could be a problem later.

Hello,

I'm interested in rooting a Cubot King Kong 3 phone (MT 6763 phone), which features Oreo 8.1, and I hope that I am currently posting in the correct forum category.

For my general understanding, I have a few questions and I really that somebody is so kind to help me shed some light on the following:

1. Is it possible to root any random phone just by unlocking the bootloader with ADB, flashing TWRP and then installing SuperSU in the recovery?

Is this the general approach I can use also on the Cubot King Kong 3? Or do I need a TWRP which is modified / customized for this phone? I would like to clarify this, before I do something and brick the phone.

2. What are some safety measures to take, before trying to root, so that I can reinstate the phone to the original state, if something goes wrong?

3. Do I have to disable any kind of data partition encryption so that I can root the phone? Or can I still root the phone without doing this?

4. What is a scatter file and for what is it used? I've read a lot of guides and it seems to be used only with SPFlash. Does this mean, that I do not need this, if root by going the ADB+TWRP+SuperSU route?

5. If after unlocking the bootloader with fastboot, I am getting the message "Orange State Your devices has been unlocked and can't be trusted. " at boot, then what went wrong and can this be fixed?

6. If after flashing the stock ROM, which Cubot provides on their forum, I get a red text "Not Verify" in the upper right corner of the screen every time the phone is on, then what went wrong and can this be fixed?

I am really thankful for your advice, you can't imagine!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
As long as OEM/Carrier allows it, phone's Android can get rooted: that's true for all brands/models.

If you flash TWRP Recovery then phone's Stock Recovery gets removed. You have to re-flash phone's Stock ROM to bring it back.

SuperSU doesn't root phone's Android, it's a superuser (AKA root) management tool that allows you to manage which of all of the apps you contain installed gets granted root permission.

A phone's Android is got rooted if su binary ( what is a Linux tool, ~ 100KB ) is present on it's /system partion or any other partition.

To reiterate:

The typical way to achieve root access on an Android device is to first unlock the boot-loader, which disables verification of the /boot partition. Once the boot-loader is unlocked, the user can introduce a su binary to the system and also a superuser management app to control which processes have access to root. Unlocking the boot-loader is intentionally disabling one of the key security features on the device, which is why the user has to explicitly allow it to happen by typically enabling a toggle in Android's Developer Options and then issuing an unlock command to the boot-loader. With MediaTek-su, a script especially present for devices based on Meditek chipset, however, the user does not have to unlock the bootloader to get root access. Instead, all they have to do is copy a script to their device and execute it in shell.

Note that the user isn’t the only one that can do this, though. Any app on your phone can copy the MediaTek-su script to their private directory and then execute it to gain root access in shell.
