Hey Guys,
There is a separate XDA Forum for the 7.7 Plus :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1427

Thread moved .

I also want to do the same with my device, searching I found this:
"Galaxy Tab 7.7 Plus(SC-01E)のrootを取ってみる
Android Hack デジタルガジェット Galaxy Tab 7.7 Plus
近頃たたき売られているGalaxy Tab 7.7 Plus
先月なら、苦労せずとも新規一括0円が転がっていましたね。
docomoなiPhoneが発表されるまでは叩き売られてそうですよね。
私はキャッシュバックまで頂いて手に入れてきました。
ということで、rootを取ってみたいと思います

Unfortunately at this Forum is no information about Tab 7.7 Plus. I have Galaxy Tab 7.7 Plus(SC-01E) and I'm not sure it is possible to change stock ROM to any alternative one.
There are not many differences between Tab 7.7 and Plus version (only difference is: CPU and DVB-T Tuner).
It is possible that ROM for 7.7 will work in 7.7 Plus?

Here's the link Gabirumaster mentioned:
http://yanoshi.hatenablog.jp/entry/2013/05/05/014140

I managed to root my phone, thanks to the links in this tread.
If someone has problems in rooting, write here.
However, it's so easy - you download 2 files and then run them one after another... Amazing.

By the way I also would like to know whether I can flash another ROM instead of pre-installed Japanese on this device
Anyone knows?

You can flash another ROM if you have a custom CWM, and for this case, I was failed to insert the custom CWM. Could you install a custom CWM to your 7.7 Plus? If yes, could you give me a guide? Thanks,,

Thanks. Don't feel like flashing CWM at the moment, though. Would like to keep stock rom. But might need CWM one day, cause the SC-01E is a MOST glitchy device I ever had (and I had 3 of them before). Do not recommend anyone to buy it. Really awful device by Samsung this time, fund something else if you can, save time and nerves...

dude u found stock rom for sc-01e..mine is not booting,need to flash stock rom but cant find anywhere

SC-01E
I HAVE the same issue and would like to enable the phone on sc-01e please can anyone guide me in the right direction..?

If you don't mind, could you let me know what is the difference between this newest version and the previous VH09? Is the newest one rooted? Are all of them come with CMW? Or I have to install it again?
Thanks......

I googled some, and at some websites they wrote to Root the device, so its not crashing anymore.

Good!
took weeks breaking my head up late at night from surfing the net to find some way to rooting this stunning smartphone. But I've been stuck due to no knowledge of ADB commands and of course having no Chinese idea, since supposedly there's an app that automatically Root the phone, but I can not make it work.
Having my disability, I share with you all the information and resources I've got to give you hope someone knows the correct usage.
And it is a shame that a HIGH terminal does not remove all power performance not ROOT and therefore can not set you GAPPS

Can anyone give detailed directions?
I just got the device. I tried installing a google play store apk (tried a few different versions) all installed but none work.
How can I install the play store? Do I have to root the device? If so, are there detailed (English) instructions somewhere?
Someone knows if the Mobileuncle MTK Tools can root zte v5? I need to find a" one-click" app...
Partial success
I have installed the rom from needrom for the N5 android v 4.2.2. Took a while to flash the recovery, which is in chainese (driver issues). But still have serious connections issues:
The 3G network disconnects on restart and takes forever to reconnect. Wifi doesn't work! Built in keyboard is awful and also... chainese!
But it is rooted and has the google apps.
Does any one recommend a better combination of recovery and rom?
This is my wife's phone and she is having a lot of trouble with it.

I Followed downloaded the files from the dropbox posted upper in this thread. and followd the instructions in the previous page. Pay special attention to installing the driver for the divice. As soon as it reboots into bootloader it requires another driver.
Also if you must not restart the phone before flashing the rom otherwise it won't last.

This is a good budget device when compared to other devices from lead manufacturers like Samsung, Sony, LG or Huawei.
While searching on the internet I did find some Root & CWM installation methods.
I will be updating the relevant posts as and when needed.
You can look in the list below for what you want to do with your device.
ATTENTION!!! READ THIS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend, there are two versions of this device in the market:
1. A706 (Chinese model)
2. A706_ROW (International Model)
The ROMs in this thread are only for the A706ROW model of this phone unless otherwise stated.
If you have the chinese model or another model A760 (which is a different model) then the ROMs in this thread are not for you.
Model A706 and A760 are two different models with almost same specifications. This DOES NOT mean that the ROMs of A706ROW are compatible with A760.
Please DO NOT confuse Lenovo A706 with Lenovo A760 as these are two different devices!!! Flash or experiment at your own risk!!!!
If you share a ROM link for any of the above devices, then please mention clearly the device for which the ROM can be used.
What to do with your Device ?
-------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER:
---------------------
Rooting your device VOIDS your warranty. Remember if you are doing this, it is at your own sole responsibility
and I cannot be held responsible for any damage to your device, data loss, or any personal injury as a result of your actions.
And, If you still feel it is worth the effort, proceed with caution!
FOR NOOBS
--------------------
Read the instructions (click on SHOW to read) before attempting anything from the list below!
First you need to have the Android SDK installed on your computer. Or atleast you need to have the adb & fastboot files available on your computer.
Here's a good post that tells you how to setup ADB and fastboot.
Here's a post that has a list of adb/shell commands for noobs.
Ok, once you are done with the setup of ADB & fastboot on your computer, then you can proceed with the below instructions.
--------------------
IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE FLASHING:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, I have noticed that many people after buying the phone are flashing any firmware to their phones and most of the time without checking the phone versions and the OS versions. In the stock firmware post, I had mentioned that people having the Chinese version of the phone should NOT flash the ROW (international) firmware otherwise it would mess up their phone and network etc.
SOLUTION FOR SIM ERROR & DOWNGRADING TO CHINESE ROM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, some of the people have already done such a mistake and for those people (who are having SIM or network problems and want to go back to chinese ROM, I am sticking this post by danyno1 to the OP:

Ok trying again to put my chinese device in ROW rom with sim signal, and found a solution:
1:Flash via droidboot a chinese stock firmware I used the 130325
2:Rooted device with vroot and installed CWM Recovery via ADB
3:In the procedure to install custom rom Qneon one of the steps is to flash boot.img via fastboot... well I just didn´t do this step and flashed directly Qneon_1.7.1.zip via CWM
4: Did data/factory reset, cache reset and dalvik cache reset
5:Reboot system
An Ready! Finally got my chinese device in spanish and sim signal.

CWM Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------------------
Make sure you have all the drivers for your phone installed on your computer. Download for A706 from here. Some other Qualcomm drivers (not sure if required)
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled, Install from Unknown Sources is enabled and device is detected in ADB run this command:
Code:
adb devices
Download the CWM Recovery for A706 from here.
Unzip the downloaded file to get a "recovery.img" recovery image file.
Press SHIFT key + Right mouse click in the folder where the file is located and select Open Command from Here.
Now, in the command prompt do the following:
a. Reboot into Bootloader mode. Use command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
b. Device will reboot and display Lenovo logo. (check if device is in bootloader mode by running command:
Code:
fastboot devices
. If you see a device connected then you have successfully rebooted into fastboot mode.
c. Now, run this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(This will flash the CWM recovery image to the device).
d. Once successful, reboot the device using this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
. Or, you can keep the power+vol up+ vol down buttons pressed to restart.​
If everything has gone well, this should get CWM installed on your device. Your device is still *not rooted*. Once you have installed CWM, please proceed to the ROOT instructions post to *root* your device.

DISCLAIMER: Rooting your device VOIDS your warranty. Proceed with caution!!!
1. CWM ROOT METHOD
-------------------------------------
Ok, so you have successfully installed CWM and need root.
1. Just download this Root for A706 ( CWM flashable zip file)
2. Reboot phone to CWM Recovery (use command: adb reboot recovery)
3. Flash the zip and then restart into OS.
4. Now, you should get the Super user app in the list.
2. VROOT (ONE-CLICK ROOTING) METHOD
------------------------------------------------------------------
For noobs AND people who either don't want to install CWM or are unsure of it's usage and only want root, can use this guide for VROOT one-click rooting method. The guide has been translated and posted on XDA by zhuhang. The original vroot post/method (in chinese) exists on this site.

Same as in the CWM post above.
Thanks to zhuhang for posting the VROOT guide in english (translated from chinese).
DISCLAIMER: Follow these instructions at your OWN risk & responsibility. They are provided AS-IS without any liability.
IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE FLASHING:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, I have noticed that many people after buying the phone are flashing any firmware to their phones and most of the time without checking the phone versions and the OS versions. In the stock firmware post, I had mentioned that people having the Chinese version of the phone should NOT flash the ROW (international) firmware otherwise it would mess up their phone and network etc.
Solution to the problem is now in the OP. Please follow it if you have SIM error or network issue.

INSTRUCTIONS
-----------------------
A memory card is required.
Boot into Android normally.
Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop with a USB cable and when asked (or in USB connection settings), please select USB Mass storage mode to mount SD card.
On the root of the memory card, create a folder called "sdfuse".
Unzip the downloaded firmware, you will get a QSB file.
Copy the QSB file to the sdfuse folder that we created earlier on the root of SD card.
Note: Please make sure that your phone has atleast 60% power before attempting or beginning upgrade. Or keep charger connected during the process.
SD card upgrade process:
Long press VOL UP + POWER_KEY to enter the droidboot,
A menu will appear. Select the fourth option, SDUPDATE.
At the bottom of the screen, you can see the progress and status of the update
When you see the message "SDCARD UPDATE SUCCESS!!!", this means you successfully completed the upgrade process
Now, reboot your device and hopefully it should be updated.
That's it! If you guys have found any more firmware download links (even for different regions, build etc.) just share them with me along with details and I will add them to the list in this post.

scuderialoki, unfortunate that you got stuck. worked for me without any issues. i upped the same file that i used on mediafire. can you re-download the file and then check if the file is ok by extracting the zip using winrar or winzip? if it is ok then try flashing it again.

guliboy123, i will be putting the link and some instructions on the stock rom post soon. bear with me as i have to check the instructions from the russian/chinese sites and then put it up here. in the meantime, i suggest you take a backup of your current ROM (which is stock) using CWM and then try out the QNeon-Modern ROM. remember u need to flash that ROM using CWM.
thanks

gr8techie thanks for the reply. i really appreciate it. just downloaded the flashable cwm however it's still the same bro. lemme tell you something though. i rooted the devices before using framaroot and everything is ok but i had to do a factory reset through the settings app in A706. i still see the superuser app in the system apps and i cant uninstall it. when i open the superuser app in the drawer it's giving me an error that the su binary is not installed and su cant install it.

ok, please tell me if you have CWM installed on your device? I believe it is not installed. if this is the case, then you need to flash CWM and then try installing the zip again.
if it is installed then, i believe the super su from previous rooting maybe causing the problem. check on Playstore for a method to unroot your device. or google it. then you need to root again. hope this solves your problem.
thanks
Hi bro thanks for the reply i attached a screenshot of my root validation. I used an app to identify that. And by the way my recovery is installed. I the super su app is killing it
New page for our devices :good:
I had rooted my Lenovo A706 before You made this page You are faster than me , bro :laugh::laugh:

Rooting Information
This root method shows custom status, but FeliCa works.
Instructions - Device Rooting
There are guides on xda on how to do every step, so please don't ask how to do any particular step in this post.
If you can't get the Download Mode to show Samsung Official, keep reflashing the recovery image and rebooting. It may take a few tries.
If it doesn't work. Try making a tar file with the official recovery.img in. Guide here.
You must install the cwm in the last step using the dd command. You can't use Odin or it will disable NFC again.
Download these things:
The latest KitKat firnware (link in the first post)
The KitKat CWM recovery (attached)
Odin and Samsung Mobile Drivers
SuperSU CWM Installer
7zip
Extract the firmware so you have a tar.md5 file.
If you don't have KitKat yet, do this:
Reboot to download mode
Run Odin press AP and select the firmware tar.md5
Press Start and wait 5 minutes for your firmware to update
Reboot to download mode
Run Odin press AP and select your recovery tar file
Press Start and wait for the reboot.
Copy the SuperSU insstaller zip to your sdcard.
Reboot to recovery mode.
Install SuperSU by selecting the zip.
Reboot.
Install BusyBox Installer.
Install BusyBox. If it doesn't work, you don't have root.
Install Android Terminal Emulator
Extract recovery.img from the firmware tar.md5
Copy to /sdcard
Run this command (you can copy/paste it):
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery​
Reboot the phone, reboot into recovery, then reboot into download mode, check that it says "Current binary: Samsung Official"
Repeat these 3 reboots until it shows official. (NFC will work then)
Extract the recovery.img from your recovery tar file to /sdcard
Run this command (you can copy/paste it):
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery​Reboot to recovery to test that it installed.
You should now be rooted with NFC and custom recovery.
Notes:
To get to download mode: hold power+home+vol down, while the phone reboots, then at the screen with Japanese text, press vol up.
To get to recovery mode: hold power+home+vol up, while the phone rebootsp.
When using Odin, ensure re-partition is unchecked.​
Instructions - TWRP
You can find an alternate recovery in this post.​
Instructions - Install Xposed
Follow the rooting instructions above.
Install the Xposed Installer.
Open Xposed Installer, click Framework, click Install, reboot.
Recommended Modules:
Wanam Xposed​
Instructions - Enable Bluetooth Tethering
Follow the rooting instructions above.
Follow the Xposed Installation instructions above.
Install the Xposed-Bluetooth-Tethering-Enabler module.
Open Xposed Installer, clock Modules, enable Xposed-Bluetooth-Tethering-Enabler, reboot.
Lollipop Deodex Rom
I have created a deodexed Lollipop rom for the SC-01F.
It is pre-rooted, deodexed and Busybox is installed.
You don't have to wipe and you can go back to stock easily.
NFC is working.
Please download all the files in the SC-01F folder.
Guide: (This will trip knox)
Download all the files in the SC-01F folder.
Copy "SC-01F_Part2_System.zip" to your phone's SD card.
Optional: Copy "XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk" and "xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon_requestConcurrentGC.zip" too if you want Xposed Framework.
Reboot your phone into download mode and connect the USB cable.
Extract "Odin3_v3.10.7.zip" and run the program.
Press the "AP" button and select "SC-01F_Part1.tar"
Reboot into recovery mode.
Flash the "SC-01F_Part2_System.zip" from the SD card.
Optional: Flash "xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon_requestConcurrentGC.zip" if you want Xposed.
Optional: Skip this step if you prefer a custom recovery over NFC.
Reboot to download mode. Flash "SC-01F_Part3_OfficialRecovery.tar"
Repeat this step until download mode shows official binary.
You may have to pull the battery and cable mid flash to trigger the official check.
You won't brick your phone from a bad recovery.img flash.
Done.
I'm a SEA Note 3 SM-N9005 user. Is there any way I can use Japanese language pack from DoCoMo version? I just switched from Xperia Z and noticed the missing language.
what are the supported bandwidth of the SC-02C model?
hmm... according to this
Code:
連続待受時間注意1注意2
(静止時) 3G:約 470時間/LTE:約 410時間/GSM:約 380時間注意6注意7
連続通話時間注意2
(音声通話時) 3G:約 1000分/GSM:約 860分
seems like only Japan frequencies
SimmoF,
Are you upgrading from the Note 2 (SC-02E)?
I still have a year to go on the SC-02E contract, I wonder if NTT Docomo offer an upgrade path?

SC-02C is the Galaxy S2. Did you mean SC-01F?
Docomo uses its own frequencies, but their devices support a few standard frequencies when roaming, but you won't get to full speed.

I'm upgrading from the Galaxy S2.
I wouldn't upgrade, the way Docomo subsidize is by giving you a discount off your bill, every month, for 2 years. This works out to about 44000yen, if you stick the 2 years out.
Also differences aren't that great between the note 2 and 3, and they'll likely filter all the new touchwiz features into the new note 2 firmware.

Yeah. Cheers. I'll be sticking with the Note 2 which I'm very happy with.
I just upgraded from my American Note 2 (Verizon) I was using with a Docomo SIM. I'm loving it so far, but I know it could be much better if I had root (to remove bloatware, change a few things, add a few things, etc). I will post links in here if I confirm root methods and recoveries that work with this device.

Great. So the De la Vega method requires the firmware dump to be available for the hacker to make it for our firmware.
So I wouldn't use that until one is available for our device. I will tell him as soon as I can.
SimmoF said:
Note: Do NOT do any updates until we know how to root this thing. Updating may block your chances of rooting.
Edit: I just saw that the Root de la Vega requires a custom version for our AP and CSC, so I will go down to the Docomo shop today and get the details, and request a custom root for us. I will post the details here when done.

What you are quoting here are not frequencies, but standby and talk time ratings.
Standby 470 hours on 3G and so on.
Talk time 1000 minutes on 3G and so on.
But it seems that you are right about the fequencies either way.

Hello everyone,
Some of you may know me for my work in the SC-02C thread.
I am starting this device thread for the users of the Japanese Galaxy Note 3.
I intend to pick up one of these on release day, October 17, so I'll post as much advice and information as I can about rooting/modding.
I will try rooting using the Root de la Vega method, as soon as I get the device.
Note: Do NOT do any updates until we know how to root this thing. Updating may block your chances of rooting.

Just got my Galaxy Note 3 from Docomo Shinyokohama branch last night.
This page is great and thank you to you sir for your technical knowledge and continued support for Samsung device owners here in Japan.
My previous phone was a Galaxy S2 (SC-02c) and I used your previous methods on rooting and now, my phone is still perfectly working
Though I'm still hesitant to tinker with my (20 hour-old) Galaxy Note 3...but I will continue to monitor this thread.
Thanks again in advance!

Firstly, you need to set up the APN.
Secondly, DoCoMo has IMEI filtering on sp-mode, so you must be using a DoCoMo branded device.
You will need to switch your data plan from sp-mode to mopera to use your own device.

I'm new to Japan and my original Note is getting long in the tooth so I'm considering buying a DoCoMo Note, hence I'm curious about bloatware. My understanding is that Japanese operators jam their phones with cute but useless apps, I also believe they only come with support for Japanese and English languages and you are not able to download support for other languages, is that true?
Is there any advantage to getting a DoCoMo device over Au?

PG, for some reason while flashing the CWM swipe, it fked up the platform.xml in /syste/etc/ . That caused Titanium Backup to stop function properly while doing a backup to external SD. Is it the recovery or its a problem with Kitkat ? I got the same problem with Note 3 ( Exynos and SnapDragon too ). The only way to fix was to do like this picture below :

umm I dont see that file in the system dump nor in cwm. So my guess is its a tibu issue.
not to mention, those look like app manifest permissions. And the Write permission overrides the read permission.

Yup maybe. On the Nexus 5 Kitkat, TB made restored apps force closed. But TB team fixed it. But as far as i remember, When i was testing your recovery ( pretty sure it was cwm swipe) after 2 or 3 flashes, problem arose. Ricky and me thought it was an SD card issue ( wrong permission, full sd card or something like that ) but it turned out the problem was the platform.xml . Not so sure as if TB made any change to platform.xml or not.

this was on a SM-G900H?
Did the recovery worked?
I just want it to completely wipe the phone before install new roms. so this bug doesnt matter to me if it worked

No its a F model. BTW, there is no Rom right now to install. ^^
according to a PM I just got, this doesnt work on G900H. By the description I was giving I think its the kernel and/or dtb. So I asked for a dump of the G900H stock recovery so I can extract the kernel & dtb from it.

Do you have one? According to PM CF-Root not working for H either. I told him to contact Chainfire and see what he needed to get that working for it.

I know its Exynos , but i guess the recovery will be different as well. Thats why i didnt dare to flash the root tool also gotta haave to wait. We can't dump recovery if there is no root ....

[ROOT][TWRP][Unlock] Chuwi Hibook by kostyamat

Hibook-ToolBox​
For first - to write my english is bad, bad, very bad... But I understand english
I allowed myself to write a few batch files to help newcomers, as well as other users, under common title "Hibook-Toolbox".
Русскоязычная версия: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=741766&view=findpost&p=49156807
It allows you to:
Unlock the new tablet Bootloader.
Unprotect system partition from changing (remove "Verity Boot").
Install TWRP-recovery ver-2.8.7.0, which I have ported to this tablet.
Get the correct ROOT in the right way.
Flash custom firmware (which do not have to wait long, I think so)
And other…. I will add if still need to be.
Attention! Whatever you do, you do it at your own risk!​
Download (needrom.com): http://www.needrom.com/download/unlocktwrproot/
Preparation:
Unzip the archive to PC, but try not to use special characters or folder names with space in the paths to files. Better way is unzip to a folder in the root of drive C: or D:
Turn on ADB-debugging: "Settings"-"About Tablet" >-> Taps under the item "build number" until the caption appears "you became a developer"-> Return one step back-> enter the item for developers "-> Enable" USB debugging ".
Connect the device to the PC.
Install the Intel driver IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.10.0.exe
Usage:
1.Unlock_Bootloader.bat - Run first. It will unlock the bootloader. Carefully follow the prescriptions of the script and on the screen of the tablet. ATTENTION! All settings, programs, as well as all data on internal SDCard will be destroyed! Data on external MicroSD and Windows will not suffer. After unlocking the device will reboot in factory recovery, which does not display anything (stupidly black screen with backlight), the process may take up to 10 minutes (I'm shocked, but it's true), then the device will reboot in Android pristine clean.
2.Unlock_Verity-boot.bat - Run second. It will unlocking the System partition to can be changed. Carefully follow the prescriptions of the script and on the screen of the tablet. The device will reboot. Data on external MicroSD and Windows will not suffer. After all unlock actions, be sure to enter the option for developers and turn ON the item "Factory unlock".
3.Outside_boot-TWRP-recovery.bat - (It is optional. For obtain ROOT access). The device will be rebooted into the temporary session of TWRP-recovery, to Internal sdcard will be placed UPDATE-SuperSU.zip - install it using TWRP. Previously, you can make TWRP backup (recommended!).
4.Flash-TWRP-recovery.bat - (It is optional) TWRP-recovery will be permanently flashed into the Tablet. (Not recommended! Some time firmware will update, TWRP cannot install OTA-update)
5.Flash-ORIGINAL-recovery.bat - (It is optional) Flash back to the original Recovery.
ADB_shell.bat - Just a comfortable CMD-window for ADB-debugging and work with Android Shell.
Flash-Custom_FW.bat – My flasher to flash custom firmware, which I am sure will appear in future.
Useful console commands (ADB_shell.bat):
ADB reboot bootloader - reboot to FastbootDroidboot (flashing) mode
ADB reboot recovery - reboot to TWRP or native Recovery mode.
ADB root – restart ADB-debug service as ROOT.
ADB remount - remounting Android system partition to write (you need root-adb mode see adb root)
ADB shell - run Android-console (ash) through which you can run Linux-scripts, internal system commands, etc.
fastboot boot * *.img – run user-compiled boot.img or recovery.img
fastboot reboot – reboot to system from DroidbootFastboot (flashing) mode.
fastboot flash [boot, recovery, system, data] [boot, recovery, system, data]. img - In DroidbootFastboot mode, It will flash specific image to specific partition, example: fastboot flash system c:\Custom_FW\system.img - will flash only system.img to Android system partition.
PS. Under any circumstances, when using TWRP, never do not wipe system partition! Also make sure the TWRP-settings option "Use rm-R instead of formatting" is ON and never leave it. The fact of the matter is that "Verity Boot" marked System partition itself. Withing format the label disappears - the tablet won't boot to Android! This problem can be solved, but why You would make a problem?
If You like may work, buy me a coffee. Please :|
Hibook-Toolbox was updated 06/04/2016
Nice work, it is really great to see the android side of the hibook 10 has root. this is an excellent tablet and I am ordering it as of now.
I hope you and others will continue working with this tablet, as android n would be great on here.
Thanks. :good:
Hi ! Can you share what tools you use for modding TWRP for HiBook and what files you have changed ? I need to do the same for Chuwi Hi10 DualOS, based on the same hardware, i want to port your TWRP on it..
I have installed root too whit this tutorial. It works perfect. If someone is interested in modding whit kernel or custom Rom i have accsess to all partitions from ubuntu on the tablet. Please ask me if you interested in somthink. The stock Rom and kernel are not the best.

It works also on Chuwi Hibook pro??
Hi,
I´ve got my brandnew CHUWI HiBook Pro 2 in 1 Ultrabook Tablet PC (10") today. Could you pls confirm that your toolbox is suitable for this tablet as well?
I won´t brick it on the very first day using wrong software ...
many thanks in advance
cheers Andreas
I think its OK. It works perfekt for me. But if you not sure for yourself than dont do it. Thats all we can say. If you dont try it you dont See if it works or not. Its your choice. And dont get panic if the first vor second try dont work. I dont know how many trys i used and some times i was realy scared about my chuwi. But than i realized that i made something wrong vor forget somthing. After all the work and the shocks my chuwi worked perfect. But if you dont try it you dont know if it works.

Hi, it shows the links are broken, can you please update new links
thanks
I confirm successful rooting for chuwi hibook pro, too.
I want to ask... Do we update supersu from Play store??
Hi man
I will proceed later today to do this.
2 questions...
1) how did you compile the TWRP for our needs? or is it a general one?
2) regarding custom fw, is there cyanogen/remixos 3/anything else based on android 7 available??
Thanks
regards
Luca
Confirm, root sucess for chuwi hibook pro.
Thank you
Root works fine, thank you
I had to install SuperSU.zip from the SuperSU Website.
Reason: Binaries couldn't be updatet.
One problem with TWRP left.
Touch input isn't working well.
Seemes that the touch mask is shifted.
I have to connect a mouse via OTG
[EDIT]
I found another posting with newer TWRP Version (3.0.2.0).
Problem Solved.

Hello,

Hey guys, new Chuwi Hi10 Pro owner here. I just want to make sure this will work with the build number for my tablet. It's currently running 5.1.1-B2016081102, Remix OS version 2.0. I'm pretty familiar with rooting Android devices, but I still like to make sure I'm following the proper steps before attempting anything. Thanks in advance.
