[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
This 2nd Gen firmware appears difficult to locate on the mainstream sites and repos. I'll do an in-depth search and I'll also reach out to some people that may have info on a source.

Update: @Jfuchs2007@, I have located firmware for your tablet on two different platforms. Unfortunately, these are predatory platforms that charge a fee for firmware to which they own no rights. Charging money for firmware is highly akin to somebody charging money for rain water. Just as the person doesn't own the water they are selling, these pay-based firmware repos do not own the firmware that they host. Anyway I am ranting. I'm fairly certain that if Dante were around today, he would designate a level in purgatory to the purveyors of such business practices.

While I don't support or condone pay-based firmware services, I will get you the links if you don't already have them. I am still searching for a free download..
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Jfuchs2007@:
I dont have it yet :(
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
My search has yielded no positive results for free firmware. The firmware appears to be available only on pay-to-download firmware hosting sites.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] djphooka:
First off, thank you for this, but I can't quite follow these instructions. Boot into fastboot mode but put Magisk on the tablet first?

It's been a while using fastboot commands for me.

I downloaded everything but just can't remember how to put together the fastboot stuff.

USB debugging IS enabled on the tablet and It does go into Fastboot mode from the menu & volume commands.

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
First things first, you need to install the Minimal ADB & Fastboot tools on your Windows computer. After installing it, open your C drive and double click on Program Files (x86). Inside you should find the Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder. Copy that folder and paste it to your desktop. Next follow my instructions above. In Step 3, when you download the patched recovery image, save it in the Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder on your desktop. In Step 4, to open a command window, open your Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder and double click the file that contains CMD. Now you'll be able to execute the command to flash the patched recovery image. Once you flash it, Magisk will be on your tablet. But follow my instructions for booting up after you flash it. It's a bit tricky, but not bad once you get accustomed to booting recovery mode from a powered off state.

Let me know how it goes, and if you get stuck or have any more questions, just let me know. I'll be on XDA pretty much all night to catch up on some work.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] djphooka:
I've installed all ADB & fastboot. It doesn't find the device. Isn't there a way to list devices?

It is on the menu that says -> FASTBOOT mode..

Just stays "waiting for any device" in command window.

Also, What do the platform tools have to do with it?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] djphooka:
Ugh. OK. I don't think my bootloader is unlocked so how do I do that? I've done it with a few phones in the past.

It IS going into fastboot mode and even recovery to where I can factory reset & such.

Thanks again for the help!
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Okay, so to unlock your bootloader, you'll need the Minimal ADB & Fastboot tools also. Install it and put the folder onto your desktop like I outlined in my last post. Unlocking your bootloader will fully.wipe your tablet, so make a backup first.

On your tablet, be sure you have enabled the USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking toggles in the Developer Options menu. To access Developer Options, open your device Settings app, scroll down to System>About tablet and tap on Build number 7 times. The menu can then be found under Settings>System>Developer options.

Next, boot your tablet into fastboot mode by first powering your device off, then press the power and volume up buttons simultaneously for several seconds, until a Boot Mode menu appears on your screen. Use the volume up key to navigate to Fastboot Mode, then volume down to select it. Connect the tablet to your PC using a suitable data sync/charging cable. Open your Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder and double click the file named cmd-here. A command window will open. To make sure you're properly connected and that the drivers are configured correctly, execute this command:

fastboot devices

You should see your serial number return in the command window, followed by the word fastboot. Now execute this command:

fastboot flashing unlock

On your tablet display, you will be prompted to press the Volume Up key to proceed with unlocking. Once you do that, execute this command.

fastboot reboot

This will reboot your tablet.However, as mentioned earlier, the tablet will first initiate a factory data reset, and then boot into the Android setup sequence.

Your post enlightened me to the fact that I probably need to add a bootloader unlocking section to the guide. I will be doing that sometime today, so keep me posted on your progress.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] djphooka:
This never pops up and I think is the issue.

I've tried on my desktop and laptop and the tablet isn't recognized in fastboot cmd under attached devices. It is definitely in FASTBOOT mode... I've booted into regular and recovery mode to see if any other drivers install.

hmm
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I'm going to give it a try later today. Thanks again for your contributions.

Will we get marshmallow for this device?!?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] PokeyManatee4:
Soon(TM)
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
As luck would have it, I have managed to hard brick my tablet. About a week before you posted the TWRP test build, I was playing around with PitchBlack Recovery. After flashing it to /recovery, the tablet went unresponsive. No preloader or BROM mode either. Never seen this happen before.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] PokeyManatee4:
Find a long thin thing and start sp flash and put the thing in the hole beside the power and volume and make sure its plugged in and then push the thing in there and it should reset and let you flash it hopefully you understand what i said also a toothpick should work
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] PokeyManatee4:
Use a toothpick to reset the tablet by pressing the tiny button by the power button put the toothpick in the hole and then press in and also make sure sp flash tools is starting to flash and a USB is connected to the tablet
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Dismal.:
Testing now how much battery is required to boot twrp?

It works!

Cant wait for AOSP marshmallow!
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] PokeyManatee4:
Just need power and this is to reset to flash when hard bricked
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Dismal.:
Touch does it work correctly in TWRP
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] PokeyManatee4:
Touch is a common issue for 7 inch tablets with twrp try to fix it gor me by patching stuff because i cant figure i have tried
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Dismal.:
Do you plan the release a fix?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] PokeyManatee4:
ive tried, its open source if you can fix i add credits
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Dismal.:
Does the rom have to be a ab partition because I have seen some oreo GSI roms.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] PokeyManatee4:
No
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Dismal.:
How would I get Oreo to work
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] t3sters:
Does anyone have the magisk files for 100074181?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Dismal.:
You could try clockwork mod recovery or cyanogen mod recovery since they don't require touch
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Do you mean an Oreo GSI ROM or any custom Oreo ROM in general?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Dismal.:
Either as there are no GSI ab oreo roms
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
This tablet isn't ab. It's a-only is it calling for ab ROM?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Dismal.:
Treble info says its ab and the oreo roms wont work anyway

Treble info says its ab and the oreo roms wont work anyway

Flashing an A only image results in a boot loop that can only be recovered in sp flash tools

I read into it. Unfortunately, it won't work. I just hope we get L,M,N, or O
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I have to assume that the Treble Info app that's showing AB for this tablet is in error. This tablet does not support the seamless update implementation (A/B partitioning), and relies on the legacy "A-only" partition slot scheme. Have you had any luck with flashing Android 9 or 10 GSI images? Forgive me I haven't went back to read the recent conversations on this thread, so I'm sorry if I'm asking something that's been addressed already. I do realize that, because it's Android Go supported, this tablet's allocated /system partition is less than adequate for the mostly robust GSI builds found in the forums and repos -- especially those with baked in GApps. Repartitioning is an option here, using the parted tools with a terminal and root shell. The /userdata partition could be diminished in size, giving the deducted storage space over to /system. Unfortunately, my tablet incurred some sort of hardware failure and is irretrievably incapacitated. I have a new one ordered and on the way so, hopefully, I can soon try to contribute to the hard work you've been putting in lately towards long-needed development for this tablet.

I do want to commend your hard work and the progress you've made thus far.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Dismal.:
Any gapps on a GSI at all make it unusable. Plain AOSP is decent
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Agreed. I like an AOSP vanilla Android base for any GSI build, nothing more and nothing less.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Dismal.:
I am trying to build AOSP GSI 13 do I need to disable vbmeta to flash it or should it should work if I flash it using SP flash tools

I have a friend with 100071483 does anyone have the files to unbrick and flash from SP flash tools?

You should try clockwork mod recovery it doesnt require touch
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Thars actually a feasible idea. I am searching for a ClockworkMod base build that can be ported smoothly. Or, if somebody would be interested in compiling from source, I believe that @dismal's recovery tree would suffice.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Maufr:
Hey i am currently working on this Onn tablet 7" for a dash install in my car. I removed the battery as i found on youtube saudering the wires to a us cable. However i need the tablet to turn on with my vehicle and wont have access to the power button. I found a code "fastboot oem-off-mode charge 0" and then found this thread on how to access the fastboot. When i connect my usb to the MB and the computer and type adb devices it shows it with the tablet on. It also allowed me to use the reboot command to fastloader. but as soon as the tablet is in fastboot its like its disconnected i type adb devices and it doesnt show it anymore. Also it makes the windows sound that its disconnecting and reconnecting every 15 seconds or so. I am a total noob to this but am trying to get this to work. I appreciate any help

Update i have gotten the device to show up in fastboot devices now after messing with drivers for hours. But fastboot oem-off-mode charge 0 says there is no command. Any suggestions?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] randomBullets:
what tablet is this for?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Dismal.:
I have mirrored the stock firmware https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XsO8p3Q8k28CRotZ0-dREj5P3VwnJcb8/view?usp=sharing
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] randomBullets:
but is that the GEN 3 7"?

never mind i figured it out
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] PokeyManatee4:
what is this thread for?

think before you post and maybe just maybe use your brain and read the thread title
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] PokeyManatee4:
yo can you update the guide with the new image and partition
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] PokeyManatee4:
Do you still have boot.img, we need a redump
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] djphooka:
HI. So I have unlocked the boot loader, re-enabled usb-debugging and have majisk on the tab.

Still can't follow again now. How do I run magisk in recovery?

Thanks

Also, Is the end result to get Lineage or something on here I hope? :D

What roms can be put on?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Follow the instructions to the letter. If you follow each step correctly, Magisk will be installed to recovery.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] djphooka:
I'm sure. I Just don't understand how to follow the rest.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Yeah and mine is the Onn 7 android 11 go edition and I CANNOT find the firmware for the tablet so if nobody sends me link ill just smash it
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I'm trying to locate the firmware for the 2nd Gen Onn Surf 7 with Android 11 Go Edition. As of yet, I have only been able to find the firmware on pay-tp-download sites, but I have made some requests to people I know that have private firmware repos. I'm trying
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
@djphooka, tell me where you are getting stuck. I'll try to walk you through the process
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Okay I know your issue I think. You are going to need to manually configure your USB drivers. I'll get you the step-by-step instructions. Just to confirm, you are using a Windows PC or laptop, correct?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
@djphooka follow these steps to resolve fastboot recognition.

• 1 If you have not yet done so, install the 15-Second ADB Installer from the link below on your Windows PC or laptop. This tool installs ADB & Fastboot drivers as well as the Google universal USB device drivers. Open the utility and follow the prompts to install the ADB & Fastboot drivers. Opt to install ADB system-wide. Next you will be prompted to install the Google USB device drivers. Select Y and install them. You should see an interface informing you that the drivers were successfully installed. NOTE: If you get a warning notification that the drivers are unsigned, select the option to install anyway;​

• 2. With your tablet powered off, hold the Power and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until a Boot Menu appears. Use Volume Up to navigate to Fastboot Mode, Volume Down to select;​

• 3. Connect your tablet to your Windows machine using the OEM-supplied or a quality equivalent micro USB to USB-A data sync cable;​

• 4. Open a command window in the path of your ADB/Fastboot directory. Execute this command:​

fastboot devices

If properly connected, the command window will return an alphanumeric string which is synonymous with your tablet serial number. If this occurs, you are finished with this section and may proceed to the instructions for unlocking the bootloader/rooting. If the command window displays Waiting on Any Device, or if your serial number is not displayed, continue with the following steps;​

• 5. Keeping your device connected to your Windows PC/laptop, right click your Windows Start icon and select Device Manager. Locate your tablet in the menu. It will likely be located under either the Portable Devices or Android Device heading;​

• 6. Right click your device and select Update Driver. Next, select Browse My Computer for Drivers. On the next screen choose the option for Let Me Pick From a List... Now you will see a list of drivers to select from. Depending on the manner in which Windows recognized your tablet in the Device Manager menu, the driver selection menu can vary. If you see an option for Android Device, select that option and then select Android Composite ADB Interface. Or, you may be directly presented with options for Android Bootloader Interface, Android ADB Interface and Android Composite ADB Interface. In any event, choose Android Composite ADB Interface and then click Next. Click Yes in the Update Driver Warning dialogue screen, at which time the drivers will be installed.​

• 7. Return to your command window and again execute the fastboot devices command. If your serial number is displayed, your drivers are now properly installed. If you are still experiencing fastboot recognition issues, try using another data sync cable, change USB ports on your computer, and/or reinstall the drivers using the 15-Second ADB Installer.​

hi i did everything u explained but when i reboot into recovery mode its still the stock recovery and i have root checker says no root i also installed superuser and says no root i also added the patched recovery image to the tablet and found the file using magisk and it installed and patched successfully but still shows stock recovery so im not sure how to make it boot with root i have rooted before but it was a samsung s3 and samsung s7 edge
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
another thing im running into is when i do get root enabled only app will open is magisk i made sure it installed after getting root pernission but when i try and check for root status on root checker it tried to open then crashes and acts like its rebooting by showing the onn logo then back to the home screen and seems like when i reboot into recovery it only works 1 time and all the other times it boots straight into stock recovery instead of rebooting to home screen to enable root
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
in magisk it says my device platform is armeabi-v7a
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Did you boot to recovery mode from the Boot Mode menu? Also, can you provide your firmware build number?

If your device is booting into stock recovery after you flashed the patched recovery image, you have most definitely missed a step along the way. No worries, I'll try to help you get root access resolved.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Ok @garyww39, on the crashing issue you referenced, try this: install the Magisk v24.3 APK versus any newer build, using the link I provided to the Magisk repo. Once you open the app, you should be prompted to allow Magisk to finish setting up the root environment. In turn, Magisk will reboot your tablet once this process is complete. Upon reboot, you may go ahead and update Magisk to the latest version by first updating to the latest Magisk app, and then the Magisk version by selecting the Direct Install method from the Magisk app. After updating, reboot your tablet from the Magisk app. You should then be running on the latest stable Magisk build.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
my build number is PPR1.180610.011 also am i suppose to flash the patched boot image thru fastboot and magisk? cause magisk wont let me do anything until i find a file and when i do flash the patched magisk boot file thru fastboot from my pc it will and i reboot from recovery it will boot into android but seems like i have to keep redoing the fastboot patched image in order to reboot from recovery
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
ok downloaded magisk v24.3 it gives me 2 options select and patch a file or direct install (recommended) tried direct install says unable to detect target image installation failed and now when i try to select and patch a file it soft reboots with onn logo then back to desktop i did restart from recovery after i flashed the patched magisk file thru fastboot not sure if i need to reboot normal it does say the magisk app 24.3 (24300) is installed
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
i also put the patched boot image in the same folder where minimal adb and fastboot is installed on my pc in order to send the file to my onn tablet and says usb transferring... usb transmission OK then the time it took and i also noticed when i do reboot from recovery after flashing the patched image i no longer see my tablet on my pc with usb plugged in and no option at the top until i restart normally also after i unlocked my bootloader it says orange state and some other stuff and i dont get any prompts when i launch magisk after i reboot from recovery from flashing the patched boot image i have to tap install im the magisk app and tap direct install then i get the unable to detect target image am trying this jailbreak on 2 different onn tablets same build and versions and they are both behaving the same
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Ok so first, to ensure that we are on the same page procedurally, keep in mind that there is no patched boot image with regard to routing this tablet. The patched image is in fact the recovery image, which must be flashed to the /recovery partition. But if you followed the steps as outlined, that part should be in order.

The orange state notification merely indicates that your bootloader is unlocked. This is normal and to be expected. So immediately after flashing the patched recovery image to your tablet via fastboot, you need to power your tablet off. Then hold power plus volume up until the Boot Mode menu appears on screen. Use volume up to navigate to recovery mode, and volume down to select it. The tablet should then boot to the Android OS with root enabled. Is your tablet booting into Android after you select recovery mode from the menu?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
yes but mostly for 1 time unless i adb fastboot the patch image again
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Ok so do this: Uninstall the Magisk app, boot to fastboot mode and flash the patched recovery image again via the instructions. Immediately power the tablet off. Hold power and volume up to initiate the boot menu. Select recovery mode from that menu. When the tablet boots into the Android OS, open the Magisj app and follow any prompts. If the Magisk app isn't present, download v24.3 from the link I posted. Open it and follow the prompts
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
ok repatched boot image shut the tablet down booted into boot menu selected recovery it did boot up normally didnt go to the the stock recovery reinstalled magisk 24.3 and loaded up magisk tapped install then next then direct install then it says unable to detect target image
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
supersu says SU binary occupied aswell so seems like if i keep magisk installed and patch the boot image i can only use magisk if i try and open any other app like settings gallery root checker it soft reboots with onn logo but since i uninstalled magisk and installed after patched boot image i can open apps
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
When you open the Magisk app, in the top box beside of the entry INSTALLED, what does it say?

SuperSU? That project was shut down years ago. Messing with that is a good way to brick your tablet.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
magisk installed N/A zygisk N/A ramdisk no uner magisk app says latest 25.2 and installed 24.3
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
under install says preserve force encryption patch vbmeta in boot image unchecked recovery mode checked thats in normal in patched image mode or root virtually says the same except with the option to direct install thats where it hangs and says cant find image
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
still seems to lose patched image after i restart normal cause i boot into menu into recovery then it boots up to the android logo but if i restart into boot menu then back into fastboot mode i reflash patched boot image then shut it off then boot menu recovery it shows the onn logo like its suppose to
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
To the right side of Installed what does it say?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
under magisk app?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] garyww39:
here is a screen shot and that is after rebooting after patched image thru recovery
