[Q] [VZW i815] Possible to root if starting point is *STOCK OTA ICS*?

I think I may be the one of the few people anywhere who may be in this situation, but thanks to help from Electron and others, my VZW Tab 7.7 actually followed the OTA progression of FD01 -> FH01 -> LP10 to go from a stock-but-rooted HC to a stock non-root ICS.
While I first thought this may be a fortunate turn of events, I now am wondering if this is the case, because I am having trouble finding a way to root it.
To be clear, my current situation is that I am post-ICS, and not rooted.
The root method specified in the 7.7 development forum doesn't seem to work - it fails on the signature check. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849235), and OTA Rootkeeper seems to be for those who were way smarter than me and caught it ahead of time.
Any suggestions for achieving root, or am I out of luck?
Thanks for any help!
Eric

Download necessary files:
Verizon 7.7 LTE drivers: http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/Verizon_Wireless_I815_Galaxy_Tab_USB_Driver_v1_4_7_0.msi
electron73's Odin pack: http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_i815_odin_pack.zip
Root: http://www.mediafire.com/?x481a90591wdw0a
Make a folder on your desktop and extract the files there.
1. Install Verizon 7.7 LTE drivers
2. Put the root zip file on an external SD card, make sure your the SD card is inserted in the tab
3. Power down your tab
4. Boot into Odin mode by pressing power and volume up. Release power while still holding volume up when you see the samsung splash screen. You will be greeted with a warning dialog:

}
5. Press volume up to accept, you will be in download mode and greeted with the following screen:
6. Open Odin 1.85
7. Load FD01_recovery.tar by clicking the PDA button and selecting the file from the folder you made on your desktop, make sure auto reboot is unchecked. It is very important that you choose PDA
8. Plug in your tab, your PC will probably install drivers if you have never used Odin and how up under ID:COM. Your tab will show up in Odin. your screen should look like this:
9. If odin looks exactly like the screen above, click start. Odin should display a green Pass! above ID:COM
10. Power down your tab.
11. Boot into recovery, you will see an android with an exclamation point triangle
12. Choose apply update from external storage using the volume keys to navigate.
13. Select Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip
14. Tab will install and reboot.
15. You now have root.
If you want to be completely stock, including ICS recovery, then follow steps 3 - 9 except use the LP01_recovery.tar instead of FD01_recovery.tar, then reboot your tab. thats it !
P.S electron i linked to your files, i hopw thats ok

You may have to flash the honeycomb recovery with Odin just to root, because I think the new ICS recovery will not install unsigned update. After you flash root, you can flash back to stock ICS recovery. This is just a guess I have not tried this.

If that is what is required I may be in a bad way.
Stupid VZW has not provided this variant with any stock firmware download - no HC and no ICS.
In my short-sightedness I didn't think to make a nandroid or CWM because up to now, I can't use any non-stock roms - I need the LTE as a part of the tablet.
Drat and double drat.

It should be easy to root your stock ics tab:
1. Download the root zip, place on external SD card in your tab
2. Put your tab in download mode, connect tab to pc and flash stock Honeycomb e3 recovery via PDA button in odin. Be sure to untick "auto-reboot" option.
3. Once odin finishes with a "Pass!" Power down your tab by holding power.
4. Boot into recovery by holding power+volume up, let go of the power button when the samsung logo appears while still holding volume up.
5. flash the root zip from external sd card in recovery.
6. You should be rooted now.

For Step 2 - the stock HC e3 recovery part - is this a file that I download from somewhere or is this something that I would (should) have at hand?
Sorry to be noobish, but I want to be sure I don't do something irreversible here...
Thanks for the help!
eh

Followed the steps and it worked. Rooted the LP11 ROM by flashing the FD01 recovery and then flashing the Select Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip from recovery.

Stickied this as it took me quite a long time to find. This is VERY useful for people with the Verizon model and stock ICS.

Can't find FD01
Does anyone have a link to the FD01 recovery image? I cannot find it anywhere. The links to the stock roms are broken. I've been trying to root my LP11 7.7 i815 for years now to no avail.
I appreciate any help.

[ROM] Best custom roms for Huawei Ascend G610S (G610-U00) with complete install guide

Well, as you know, G610-U00 emotion UI (Official Stock firmware) is annoying, lets try to change the overall UI completely from boring Chinese UI into popular phones' UI.
Before we go, back up everything you need (Apps, Contacts, etc...)
Your phone bootloader must be unlocked to do these processes!!!!
1.Download and install VRoot ENGLISH VERSION on PC and root Your G610-U00 first. (Skip this step if you have already rooted your phone)
2.Download and install Mobile Uncle Tools on your phone.
3.Download TWRP English recovery for G610-U00 first and put it in SD card.
4.Download Rom below that you want to install and put it in SD card.
5.Open Mobile Uncle Tools and "Allow" root Permission and choose "Recovery Update" in Mobile Uncle Tools and then
choose "ydss-g610-u00-twrp-recovery-en-v2.0".
6.Mobile Uncle Tools will show you a message "Reboot into Recovery?" Choose "Yes".
You can also go to recovery mode this way
(1)Power off your phone
(2)Press and "HOLD" volume up button and then power button until you get into RECOVERY MODE.
7.In the TWRP recovery,
(1)Choose "Wipe"
(2)Choose "Advance Wipe"
(3)Choose Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, System
(4)Pull the Slider below from the left to the right. Now your Phone is clean and ready to install new ROM
(5)Go Back to the menu with Back Key
(6)Choose the button "Install"
(7)Choose the ROM (zip) you have downloaded
(8)Pull the Slider below from the left to the right to install the zip and wait for the installation process
(9)After Installation process choose "Reboot"
ENJOY YOUR NEW ROM!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (Optional) : For better experience, when you want to download, you should use Chrome Browser to translate pages because the download pages are written in Chinese. If you don't have Chrome Browser, just see the image at the end of the post how to download from.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Files to download
G610-U00 custom ROMS(All Roms Have Root Access)
Edit : Google drive link for those who can't access Baidu (by a request).
Google App Installer for no google app included roms(Installing using apk, Need root access)
DEFAULT LANGUAGE IS CHINESE, AFTER BOOT UP, GO TO SETTING>LANGUAGE AND INPUT>LANGUAGE>CHANGE TO ENGLISH.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In any case, if you want to go back to official stock firmware,
(1) Download and flash it in TWRP RECOVERY (I'm not sure it would work in CWM but has 70% success rate )
(Without flashing this stock recovery in TWRP, you won't able to flash Official Firmware).
(2)Download extract the downloaded zip and copy the "dload" folder to SD card.
(3)Power off the phone and Press and Hold "Volume Up + Volume Down and Power Button" until you see the install processing cmd lines on your phone. Wait for the process and the phone will reboot automatically after update finish.
Now you are on the official stock firmware.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice : YOUR PHONE MIGHT TAKE 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO FINISH BOOT AFTER "FLASHING (INSTALLING) NEW CUSTOM ROM" OR "INSTALLING OFFICIAL STOCK FIRMWARE". IF IT WOULD TAKE LONG MORE THAN 15 MINUTES, JUST PULL THE BATTERY AND BOOT AGAIN. THIS COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF TAKING LONG TO BOOT.
***IMPORTANCE*** : FROM PHONE SETTINGS, NEVER DO "FACTORY DATA RESET" OR NEVER "UNMOUNT" "INTERNAL SD CARD OR INTERNAL STORAGE" WHILE YOU ARE ON "CUSTOM ROMS". IT WILL LEAD TO BOOTLOOP. IF YOU WANT TO DO FACTORY DATA REST GO TO TWRP RECOVERY AND CHOOSE WIPE, PULL SLIDER TO DO FACTORY RESET. IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM, SEE ABOVE METHOD "GOING BACK TO STOCK FIRMWARE" AND INSTALL CUSTOM ROM PROCESS AGAIN.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone caused by following this method. I have tested this method and it is working smoothly for me. Be sure to do precisely as my instructions and I am pretty sure this will work 100%. Good Day to you.
Post below to ask any question.

Goophone i5s [Custom ROMs]: iOs skinned, Stock Jelly Bean

Hello folks! This is my first post in xda and I want to share these roms for goophone i5s (if any).
This is my first post in xda by the way and I am very new with the interface so expect for flaws in this thread.
In this thread, I will include the tips and the installation processes for convenience to users.
Just take note that you have to back up everything before doing anything as usual.
Also, I assume that you have your custom recovery already installed and if not, just google it and you can find some steps to install custom recovery for mediatek devices
The ROMS :
- iOS Skinned
- Jelly Bean android stock rom
These roms were optimized for this phone to be responsive as a daily driver. All these roms were modified by the people in 4pda forum which i dont know if they are members of xda. Credits to them!
- iOs Skinned rom
This rom is a merged rom from different goophone i5s rom to mimic the look of iOs. The launcher is replace with the app "iLAuncher" for it to have a smoother experience, rooted and many more . You just have to discover it yourself.
Tips for this rom:
For better multitasking experience, you can use @zeppelinrox ultimatic patcher for a better multitasking experience and give thanks to him of course. Hats off to him
Install Greenify and XPOSED FRAMEWORK(Yes xposed framework!) to acces its experimental features. Dont get to excited about it yet since some of the modules in the xposed framework are compatible with AOSP based roms .
You cannot activate the accessibility service of this rom by the way. But with some analysis, I was able to activate it then. You mus install 2 apps: Secure Settings and E-robot which found in the playstore. Here are some of the instructions on how to use those apps to activate its accessibility service: (Assuming you have those apps installed)
1. Open Secure Setting and navigate to "SYSTEM+" (upper part) and "Enable" it
2.Open E-robot and tap the "+" button on it to add "commands". Name the command as you wish and select ok.
3. In the command, tap in "+" to add "Actions" (under actions group). Navigate to "3RD PARTY APPS" on the upper portion of the app (swipe to the left until you see it).
4. Tap on "Secure Settings". Select "System + Actions" and navigate to "Accessibility Services".
5. Next, you have now the choice of apps to be enabled. Never forget to "save" the one you have selected (save icon seen on top).
6.You will now be directed to the main page of the app, tap on "save" icon and then tap the "play" sign to execute the command and actions.
That's it! Im sorry for I did not include screenshots on this one. Just follow the steps and you'll have it
All other settings and options shall be based upon your taste
ROM Installation instructions:
Before doing anything, again, have a backup of your phone using either custom recovery or mtk droid tools to retrieve your current rom.
Also, you need the following:
- SP Flashtools v3..... (i prefer these versions )
- boot.img of your current rom. you can have your boot.img on your backups. (this is for compatibility issues so do not forget this step)
Steps: (Don't connect your usb cable yet)
1. Extract the downloaded zip file to a specified folder. After the extracting, copy your boot.img and paste it to the extracted folder (you have to replace the boot.img found in the extracted folder).
2. Open SP Flashtools run it and click "Scatter Loading". Navigate to the extracted folder and there you can see the "scatter file".
3. Click firmware upgrade. In case you failed to do it, check the files checked if it has its contents linked. In my situation, i found "USRDATA" not linked to the file extracted. Simply click it and navigate to "user data" file found in the extracted folder.
4. Click "Firmware Upgrade" again and now, this is the time that you have to connect your phone via usb cable to the computer.
5. Patiently wait for it as it downloads the files and if says "Download ok" with "green" circle, disconnect your phone and you are now good to go.
6. Boot up the phone and please do wait for it to boot up as it takes a while for it to display. You will then have a black screen with the status bar shown and wait for it until it launches the launcher
That's it and customize it as you wish
Download link of the rom: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3EnRaB-uXW8YlFXVjk4TlJmcjg&authuser=0
Patched services.jar for this rom for ease: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3EnRaB-uXW8b1hDNzAyMFFWNzQ&authuser=0
*Simply overwrite the original services.jar found in /system/framework/services.jar and give the right permissions -rw-r--r--
Note*: This "may" not be compatible with the jb android stock rom services.jar.
Just copy the URL above since I cannot direct you to the link due to xda rules
-Jelly Bean Stock Android ROM
This rom is the one I am currently using since I do envy the look and feel of android lollipop. With this rom, you can do almost everything a native android can do. Install XPOSED FRAMEWORK for you to customize it.
Tips for this rom:
Accessibility for this phone is not a problem. Only you have this annoying navigation bar which is unpleasant . You can edit the build.prop if you want to get rid of it. just google it You can also resize it using GravityBox.
Also, the developer options for this rom lacks other options like the animations, simply install "GravityBox" module and navigate to "MTK 6589......fix settings" and tap "Advanced Developer Option".
ROM Installation instructions:
You need the following:
-custom recovery
-boot.img of your current rom (boot.img of your phone rather )
Steps:
1. Put the Downloaded rom (zip file) in your sd card.
2. boot into recovery and wipe everything "wipe data and factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and "wipe the dalvik cache" (advanced)
3. After wiping everything, select "install zip from sd card" and select the zip file and install it.
4. Wait for it to finish and after the installation, I do recommend to wipe everything again and then reboot.
Enjoy!!

I have this tab as above, it is locked(programmed) using an administrative app named Cellwe EMM. Basically i cannot download anything on this tab with neither usb nor sdcard including the internet. All i have to do to get rid of this security is wipe using custom recovery. When i get the tab in download mode it has this MDM DOWNLOAD BLOCK which block me from flashing and installing custom recovery in this tab. My only hope is if i can create an update.zip for twrp or cwm to be installed in this tab using stock recovery. This is where i need help,can someone create this for me or help me with a guide to do this

Hahaha not possible... the update.zip need to be signed by Samsung specifically...
Unless you get a modified stock recovery which needs to be flashed via Odin...

Ok

How to Install Custom ROM on any Android Device
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED CYANOGENMOD ON YOUR TABLET!​huge thanks to DavidRGX for making this custom ROM

First of all, big thanks, it worked without any bugs.
However, it's honestly going slower for me than the stock rom, system it's taking up to 750mb of ram which is way worse than in stock rom even with a bunch of moderately heavy apps like youtube, and a faster even if marginally rom it's exactly the point here, do you know what might be causing it?

Would that work with this tablet and rom?, i have a working backup so i'm not trying to be a toxic dude who's blaming you for my own irresponsability.
By the way, i had apps moved into external sd in stock rom, they don't show up in apps manager right now as it was expected, but could that be causing some kind of conflict?
cheers mate!

Ok, for anyone having issues with the ram, scroll down this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/cyanogenmod-12-1-lenovo-tab-3-710f-unofficial.3771079/
There`s a patch for the ram memory leak with instructions, it works

I am unable to boot in TWRP after flashing it through SP tool. It bootloops and start in stock rom after that it shows stock recover

Flashing TWRP works, but it gets stuck on the TeamWin logo for me. Any fixes?
