My comment would be this is basically a copy of what Matt does with his utilities which isnt too terrible, but you did not credit the real guy that did all the hard work.
CREDITS go to DAN R. for the exploits......writing a script to make life easier is rather simple.....sorry for the rain.
Oh, I did include credit to Dan where its due in the utility, such as the boot loader unlock exploits and the root exploits, but the rest I created myself approximately a day or two before matt released utility 1.20.

I understand you don't trust me, me being a "junior member" and all. In the original thread, which is linked at the bottom of the first post, I included the "source code" if that's what you want to call it, for the 1.0 batch file. Plus, since the entire utility is zipped, you can just extract the batch file, right click it, and press the edit button to read all the code. And the reason its asking you to upgrade your browser, is because I believe mega.co.nz (Kim Dotcom's new Megaupload) only works in chrome/Firefox, and maybe Safari?

Well, not only did this not remove the BL Unlock splash, it didn't flash TWRP either. The menu when I selected "4" to flash TWRP displayed the same information as option "3" to remove the BL Unlock splash and did nothing. Sorry bud, but your utility is a bust on 926, did you even test it out?
Of course he didn't test it out that's why this utility is useless sorry bud

Sorry but I tried using the utility and I wasn't able to unlock or to root my Motorola GSM Razr maxx HD with JB 4.1.2 android
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I have bootloader locked so I'm not able to reflash the ROM, if I try to unlock the bootloader but the batch says I need rooted phone, I try to root the phone but batch says:
This program will give you root privelages.
Thank Dan Rosenberg (Djrbliss) for this root exploit!
Feel free to donate to him for his hard work!

If you have the GSM HD then just get the bootloader unlock code from moto. All XT925 bootloaders are able to be unlocked the normal way.

Well, I tried to obtain the unlock code but no way, when I launch fastboot program it return me an error that there's no unlock code, even if my device should be among the unlocking device list...
Anyway, thank you for your answer
Worked for me...
Kinda odd that you've got all these people bashing your work, as you've obviously put a LOT of effort into it. I, for one, found it to be the simplest utility I've tried for the Razr Maxx HD (XT926 on 4.1.2), though one thing worth noting is that nowhere in THIS thread did I find information specifically pointing out that you must FIRST be in AP Fast Boot mode, which I suspect may have been the problem for some of the others here.
I ran the Ultra-Lite Version, and was able to root AND unlock with amazing simplicity. You must root BEFORE unlocking. I think each step took literally less than 5 minutes.
If you want this to work, you MUST do the following:
1) Power off your phone.
2) Hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up while holding down the Power button.
3) Eventually, a menu will appear, and you can let go of the buttons.
4) When this menu appears, press Volume down to scroll until you reach an option titled AP Fast boot, and press volume up to select.
5) Once you reach the AP fast boot section, just use the utility's built in features to reflash the ROM!
(Source = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40569678&postcount=9)
(Author = Mr. Parkinson)
I did stumble across one glitch in your program though. At one point, I started to unlock before rooting. At the confirmation screen, it asks if I want to continue, or cancel. Upon pressing cancel, it proceeded to attempt unlocking anyway. I had to manually abort the process. Other than that, I think your utility is fantastic.
This utility saved my phone, I was getting error when trying to flash, I used this tool on my razr maxx hd and now I am back in business.

Root Transmission: the ONLY app that allows you to root other phones straight from your own device!
Inspired by Kos's p2p-adb hacking toolkit (http://hak5.org/episodes/hak5-1205), this app is a pleasant, easy way to root other phones while away from your computer! Just two buttons, Root and Unroot! Connect the cable and root away! It couldn't be simpler!
Even has its own terminal window so you can see exactly what's going on while your phone does its thing!
You will need a ROOTED device capable of USB hosting (USB On The Go), a USB OTG cable and one-click root scripts for the devices you wish to root.
Scripts and their associated files should be placed in /sdcard/RootTransmission/*devicename*/*version*/, otherwise it will not be available for use. *devicename* and *version* can be whatever you want.
Note that this is an UNSTABLE version, and you use this app at your own risk. Occasional force closes are to be expected (though they will most likely not break the phone you are trying to root). Incorrectly written scripts can permanently damage or brick both devices involved, so only use trusted 3rd party root scripts and at your own risk.

Please do not mirror this apk, it is to be downloaded exclusively from XDA-Developers. Failure to comply will result in the removal of this app from XDA.
I've attached a zip with the files needed to root a Verizon Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535), extract it to /sdcard/RootTransmission/ to use.
Note that since I only have one USB host-capable device (my own S3), no warranty is provided over the functionality of this zip since I am unable to fully test it. (It is a repackaged version of the DebugFS one-click root found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883984 and thus will only work if the device to be rooted is running ICS, which shouldn't be a problem as of yet.)
Again, this is an unstable test version. It should mostly work, but no guarantees on its functionality.

In order to run the app, your device (the device that is already rooted) must support USB hosting/USB OTG. Most newer devices have this.
This app uses adb and scripts (which you must provide) to root devices. If there is a root method for the device that uses adb, then it will work.
In the case of the Verizon Galaxy S3 (my primary device), the root method for a stock ROM is to use adb to push an exploit that will allow us to install Superuser and the su binary. I believe the Asus Transformer Prime uses a similar method.
If the only root method available involves using a program such as Odin/Heimdall or a manufacturer's phone flashing utility, or a zip must be flashed in recovery in order to gain root, it will definitely not work. In the case of the HTC Sensation, you must flash a recovery and boot into it, then flash a zip containing the su binary as well as a controller app such as Superuser in order to gain root. So the HTC Sensation could NOT be rooted with this.
In the future I plan on building a compatibility chart within the app to determine which phones can run this app and which phones can be rooted with it, as well as downloads for the rooting process. In the meantime, if there is a phone you are looking to root with this, let me know and if possible, I'll craft a zip to use with this.
Updated Root Transmission to 1.01unstable.
Following changes were made:
-bugfix: app occasionally FC'd when closing app
-bugfix: app crashed if scripts directory did not exist
-smaller size (166k, old version was 1.62mb)
-made it available only for 4.0 and up (had it set to 3.1 and up by accident)
Available in first post or in the Play Store.
Keep sending in those bug reports, it really helps!
Also, if you have any new features you want to suggest, let me know.
I'm considering the following so far:
-Downloading scripts in-app
-Nicer GUI
-Help text
Added script for the Asus Transformer tablets (TF101/TF201/TF300T/TF700T) to the first post. It will only root tablets on 4.0 or below.
This app looks promising, keep it up this great work, :fingers-crossed:
Theoretically could this run any script over adb on another device. not just a root one?
one x
Hey does this work with the one x international version?
I believe that in order for the app to work properly, adb must be running as root, so no. It's not possible to use this with a non rooted phone.
HTC One X should be able to be rooted (as well as other devices relying on fastboot), but I haven't added support for it yet. A fastboot binary for ARM is available, so I'll package that into the app for next release. Stay tuned. However, I don't know about unlocked bootloaders and all that on HTC devices, so beware.
I'm also going to take a look at the Heimdall source code later so that you can perform Odin flashes over USB. This means that basically any Samsung phone should be able to be rooted, even without a one click root script.
All this stuff will take time though, and with school still going on it might take some time. But I'm definitely working on it!

Would it be possible to use this app to flash unsecured boot.img and then recoveries? Basically have it set up to download the recoveries and boot.img from a ftp or something? Can we basically just use the host phone as a standard ADB and Fastboot commander? Using regular commands?

This is on my to-do list. I might also include a terminal emulator with access to the app's adb/fastboot binaries.

That would be awesome, let me know if you need some help testing. I've been wanting to be able to do this for awhile. It would pretty much eliminate the need for a computer when flashing roms on devices that have their bootloader already unlocked.

I know that the options menu is there, but I'm planning on adding to its functionality so there's no point in removing it yet. Don't worry, I didn't forget about it
Also, I only have one year of experience in Java, so my skills definitely are not the most top notch out there. I'd say not bad for being self taught though.
Anyway, in app downloads should be working by this weekend, depending on how much homework I get this week. Did a lot of it today, just need to make the frontend for it. After that I'll work on improving the GUI, because I really couldn't be bothered to spend more than 5 minutes making it what it looks like right now.
Expect an update in the next few days

Here are the steps required to backup the Fuhu Nabi 2, install a custom recovery, root, and gapps using Ubuntu(12.10) Linux.
This also works on Windows(other than installing adb and fastboot) if you just remove the 'sudo' from the commands.
For a scripted Windows install, check out Nabi Lab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36758895
Original root from jmztaylor, Includes the new gapps(t499user) and the new TWRP 2.3.3.0 from aicjofs(thanks!)
You should do all of the OTA updates before rooting(otherwise you might lose WiFi) When I posted this the latest version was 1.9.37. Settings>About Tablet>Update>Check Update
Download the needed files then extract all of the files to your home folder to begin. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6529005/Fuh...Backup-Root-Recovery-Gapps 30December2012.zip
Open a terminal(ctrl+alt+t) and run the following command to install ADB and Fastboot (Universe).
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
On the device, enable USB debugging in Settings>Developer options, then connect USB cable.
Just in case the adb server is already running, lets kill it using:
Code:
adb kill-server
Now we will start the server and reboot the device:
Code:
sudo adb reboot-bootloader
Once the device has rebooted into the bootloader, we will flash the new recovery image using fastboot:
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
When fastboot is finished, boot the new recovery kernel on the Nabi2 by pressing vol+ then vol-(down to recovery) then vol+ to select.

}
We will push the follwing files to the device.
First we will push the Root file.
Code:
adb push root.zip /sdcard/root.zip
Now we will push the Google Apps File
Code:
adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/gapps.zip
This is the script that will backup then install Root and Google Apps onto the device.(you can also skip the script and do it manually if you like, but make sure you do a backup)
Code:
adb push backup-root-gapps.openrecoveryscript /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript
Now we will reboot the device and let the script do it's thing.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Once you log into your device, start up SuperSU to make sure that root 'sticks'.
Your Fuhu Nabi2 is now rooted, w/gapps, and a custom recovery, Now click on the "thanks" button
NOTE: The following is if you ever need to do an OTA update, which requires the original Nabi2 recovery.
Download the original Nabi2 recovery image to your home folder https://www.box.com/s/9ogqkk8uu71bqrnpz9w1
Reboot the device into the bootloader
Code:
sudo adb reboot-bootloader
Finally we will flash the original recovery image to the device
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery nabi2_original_recovery.img
Thank you very much! In about 10 minutes, everything was the way things should be! Specifically, a nicely rooted tablet so that my son could thoroughly his tablet! Now if I can get XBMC working properly, then life would be perfect! Thanks again!!!!
Fuhu Nabi2 Common issues and FAQ.
Glad it helped you out! It's a great little tablet.
To make Nabi2 more like a regular tablet now that you have Root and Google Play, you can prevent the tablet from starting Nabi Mode/Monarch UI by checking the box in Settings>Security>'Set Parent Mode as default mode'.
You can also remove the files in the /vendor/app/ folder if you want to free up some space. Just make sure to have 'Parent Mode as default mode' checked before you remove these files, or when you reboot the tablet it will give you a blank screen.
Code:
NvCPLSvc.apk, fuhu_AddApps.apk, fuhu_AppZone.apk, fuhu_Books.apk, fuhu_ChoreList.apk, fuhu_Crafts.apk, fuhu_Fan-a-tech.apk, fuhu_KidzMode.apk, fuhu_NabiCare.apk, fuhu_NabiCloud.apk, fuhu_NabiSpinletsPlusICS.apk, fuhu_NabiSpinletsPlusParentICS.apk, fuhu_NabiSync.apk, fuhu_OOBE.apk, fuhu_ParentalDashboard.apk, fuhu_SpinletPlusVideo.apk, fuhu_SwitchKids.apk, fuhu_TreasureBox.apk, fuhu_University.apk, fuhu_Videos.apk, fuhu_Web.apk, fuhu_nabiMD.apk
I used ES File Explorer to remove the files. First you have to go into the ES File Explorer settings and check all the boxes in 'Root Settings'. Alternatively you could use the file manager in the custom recovery we flashed in the first post or any other file manager with root capabilities.
If you need to get into fastboot or recovery manually, turn off the Nabi2 and then hold the vol+ and power button until the menu comes up. You use the vol- to navigate and the vol+ to select.

ANDROID UPGRADING MESSAGE:
If you used a different gapps other than the one posted above or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065878 you will probably get an "Android Upgrading" message every time you reboot. This is caused by two stray odex files that need to be removed/deleted. You can just install the new gapps package or take care of the files manually.

Thanks for this man. The only thing I'd recommend is adding a piece, or a URL, on how to add the repo's for apt to pull those adb packages. These commands you step through are handy in *nix or Windows(-sudos). Thanks again!
Thanks, I didn't even notice that adb and fastboot were in the Universe repos as I had it enabled already.
I'll go double check then. I am running Ubuntu 13 off USB stick now and had enabled universe repo but maybe didn't get a clean update before checking for pkg. Will try again and see what's up...
I thought it required some custom repos, nothing preconfigured. If it is in universe my bad.
Thank you, for this thread was able to root daughter tablet with this tutorial. Tried the script in other thread but did not help. Thanks again

Here is a quote from tikiral on installing ADB and Fastboot on Windows.
tikiral said:
Speaking of posts
@shizzy t499's post is really an excellent guide. The only thing you'd change if you're on Windows is that instead of doing the 'apt-get' you'll just download and install the SDK Tools from Google (http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r21.0.1-windows.exe) > Start up the SDK Manager.exe file from the install directory > Scroll to the very bottom > Check off Extras>Google USB Driver > Click Install packages...
After install, you should be able to go into Device Manager and update the driver's on any stray android devices and bam, you should be all set to go.
Thanks again for all the info @t499.

Finally got a chance to perform this on my Nabi 2. Installed with no problems what so ever and was quick too. I performed the install using Ubuntu 12.10. I found it much easier and less stressful this way. Now I have to do this to both my daughters Nabi 2 tablets.
I just finished up removing the Monarch UI apps for a normal tablet. Man I really love this tablet. I have almost all my G apps installed which I have been wanting for some time now.
Just follow the instructions to the letter and you can't go wrong with Linux. Now if we could get Jelly Bean on this it would be awesome! I posted a question about the Nabi XD in the Q&A and posted specs comparing both if anyone caught it. I am pretty sure it's possible if someone can get a hold of the XD and port it over.
Thanks again t499user and all the devs that worked to make this tablet usable.
Glad it worked for you! I would love to see some JB action on here.
Just wated to shout out and say thanks many texts were sent over getting my sons tablet rooted but we got it finally no thanks to WINDOWS, Linux is the way to go! Thank you so much for the support and late night time spent working on this! :good::victory:

The default recovery would only be needed if you have to apply a new OTA update. Other than that, I would just leave the TWRP recovery, but it has no effect on the play store.

I have to say, that I have never been able to reflash the stock recovery after I first flashed TWRP. Every time I tried, all I got was the defective kernelpanic-Android lying on his back and I had to reflash TWRP via fastboot. So far I installed all updates from zip-files via TWRP. However, every update resulted in a defective recovery and after every update I had to reflash TWRP.
If you know that, it takes very little time but I wonder what might have gone wrong in the first place....

Have you tried to restore the unrooted stock backup that was made in the beginning of jmz rootpackage, if you didn't make 1 or use it. There are some stock posted. Unrar and put in TWRP/BACKUPS/your number folders and restore from TWRP recovery RESTORE. I have and was completely back to stock.

That is the stock recovery, it will happen that way if you don't install root.zip, and possibly after an update.
To get to the menu of the stock recovery, after getting to android laying down, you push the vol buttons.
Really hoping someone can help me. Im trying to Root the Nabi 2 on my Mac. Im following the command lines, without the "sudo" text, and when i flash the recovery, my terminal says waiting for device, and nothing happens.
i know my adb is working, bc it detects the Nabi 2 when i run the ADB devices command, and it will reboot into the bootloader.
Any suggestions??
Edit
Found this link, and all worked out. Didn't have to root, or flash recovery or anything like that, but i only really need youtube as of right now, so it worked well for me

- Link to xda-thread (here)
Download links: Windows x86|x64 - Linux x64 - MAC x64
All released versions can be found here.
[ROOT] Use SuperSU 2.62 or higher from here systemless for 6.0.1 and above.
Known bugs/limitations: - For partition Flashing, it is recommended(mandatory?) to do a reboot-bootloader if you want to flash multiple partitions one after the other. (according to the Google flashing scripts) (Implemented in 1.2.1)
- For return to stock, the tool will be stuck after your phone successfully boots, you need to reboot to fastboot again in order to flash the Radio and finish the full return to stock. (Fixed in 1.2.0)
Changelog:
Check the changelog for each release here.
Tutorials/FAQ:
Q: How do I get in bootloader/fastboot mode?
Turn off the phone and turn it on by using Volume down + Power key.
Q: How do I check for updates in your tool?
Follow the instructions in the screen below.
Q: Where can I find the device driver to install it for windows?
Click here, download the driver and run the setup.
Q: How do I root my stock phone?
- Unlock bootloader.
- Flash recovery.
- Use SuperSU 2.62 systemless or higher from here.
(Usually the latest version upon tool release is included in the Sideload folder of the tool, you can either sideload it or copy it to recovery and flash it manually)
Q: I get an error "Cannot open file" on MAC, what should I do?
Open the terminal, go to your application path and paste this command:
Code:
chmod +x LxMultiTool.app/contents/macos/*
Q: What do I need to do in order to be in Fastboot or in ADB mode.
Fastboot mode will be detected only while being in bootloader.
ADB mode will be detected from Recovery (custom) and actual ROM with USB debugging active.
Refresh button needs to be used in order to check for what mode you are in.
Q: Are there any other software that I need to install in order to run this tool?
On Windows and MAC everything is bundled, so nothing needs to be installed, just run.
On Linux you need to install from your package manager libQt5Core, libQt5Widgets, libQt5Gui, libQt5Network.
If it's not enough, use ldd LxMultiTool in terminal to find out what you're missing from your environment.
Q: I have an yellow/orange/red text screen during boot, what's that?
When you unlock you usually get the Orange screen and it's normal, but if you really want to know what's this about, give a reading to this.
Q: Hey, my device is not detected, why?
On windows, you need to manually install the USB drivers, they are not included and probably they won't be included in this tool.
Also, make sure you click the connection Refresh button after connecting the device to your PC.
Q: What do i need to do in order to install a custom ROM?
1. Unlock Bootloader.
2. Flash a custom recovery of your choice.
3. Flash an insecure kernel (boot).
4. Flash custom ROM with no problems via recovery.
All those things are found and can be done via this tool.
Q: Hi, i just downloaded this tool, how do i use it?
First, extract the folder somewhere.
After that, run LxMultiTool.exe on windows by double clicking it, LxMultiTool on linux and the same on mac.
Q: Do I need android-sdk installed or something else?
No! This tool uses it's own supplied binaries for adb and fastboot, if you have android-sdk installed it will be ignored anyways.
This tool is fully portable and stand-alone.
Q: I get an error while trying to unlock the bootloader -> FAILED(remote: oem unlock is not allowed), what now?
Starting with Android 5.0, you need to enable Bootloader Unlocking from the developer settings, in order to do that, follow these steps:
- Enable Developer options
- Enable USB Debugging
- Look for the ‘OEM Unlock’ Option and toggle it.
Q: How do I use the return to stock feature?
First download the latest package from here, then extract the contents (there is an archive in the archive) untill you get the a folder like angler-mda89d
that contains the images, that folder needs to be copied in the /Data/StockPackages folder in order to be visible.
Easier steps -> Get your device in bootloader -> Start the tool -> Hit refresh -> go to Stock -> hit open folder -> copy the extracted folder with the name angler-xxxxxx in there, hit F5 or Right-click + Refresh -> you should see the folder in there like in the following screenshot. Thanks @ursa08 for the screenie.
Q: How do I enable Developer options?
- Launch the Settings
- Scroll Down and Tap on About Phone(or About Device)
- Locate the Build Number Section
- Tap on the Build Number Option 7 Times
- Go Back to the Main Settings Page
- Scroll Down and Tap on Developer Options
Q: Hi, i just bought a phone what should i do now?
Well, you firstly need to unlock your bootloader...
Q: What is logcat?
Well, you can pretty much use google for that answer, but to put it short, is that thingy that tells you what is happening behind the scenes of your phone.
It is usually used for debugging and entertaiment(?).
When you report an error/bug to somebody, it will be a blessing to provide a logcat (logfile)!
Q: What is a Custom Recovery and why do i need one?
A custom recovery is that thingy that let's you flash .zip files, use your logic and you wil get it why you need one.
Q:There are others guides/tutorials out there, should i check them instead of this?
If you manage to get things done using this one, no, otherwise yes, note that some could be outdated...
Q:What is sideload and how do I use it?
Sideload is a function from adb that let's you flash a zip file while in recovery directly from your PC.
Please note that you need to be in sideload mode on your recovery before doing this.
To enter sideload mode, in TWRP go to Advanced -> ADB Sideload -> Swipe to sideload

Hi all, imusing linux and just tried to unlock my 5X. it worked but my question is, it is normal that it formated automatically?
after reboot, i have to start all over again with my account and setup.
Yes it's normal
Thanks mate, I'm new with nexus devices. One last thing, do I have to locked again or its OK leave it like that since on every reboot its showing me that I'm unlock. Sorry and thanks
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
You can leave it like that as long as you can deal with that message on every boot. If you lock it, you would have to unlock (and wipe) again if you ever want to flash anything again. Personally, unless you want to stick with the stock ROM OTAs, I'd leave it unlocked.
Would you confirm your Tools Re-Lock feature works with Custom Recovery (TWRP) without bricking device?

Usually, locking your device does not brick anything, if everything works fine before locking, everything will work fine after locking, you are only limited after locking.

Would you mind answering the question?
With custom recovery, TWRP, installed and unlocked what happens when you use your Tool to go back to Lock?
Have you tested?

To be honest I never locked my bootloader, didn't found a reason to, so I didn't tested.
But technically speaking, the only thing that happens is that you cannot flash other custom recoveries (fastboot stuff basically) without unlocking again and wiping all the stuff on your device.
OK, thank you. ReLocking to flash factory image was what I was thinking. I read doing so can lead to bootloop. Just trying to make note of things to avoid doing.
Cheers

-edit-
You used to be able to use BootUnlocker for Nexus Devices to lock and unlock the bootloader from within the OS, but it looks like that's a no-go on the 5X...
I'm new to the nexus devices, but if I unlock the bootloader and root, will I loose both if I take an OTA update?

You will definitely lose root. I don't know about the bootloader since I've never taken an OTA, but I would guess that, unless there are bootloader changes in the update, your bootloader would stay unlocked. And to my knowledge the bootloaders are pretty much never updated for incremental OTAs.
This tool is out of date. See the main R9S thread for an updated tool by Wu Xianlin which gives you an improved TWRP recovery and access to more ROMs.
Original post is below for historical purposes only.
Oppo R9S (Chinese version) TWRP installation tool
Only works on Chinese OS release 005 which can be downloaded here and flashed in stock recovery.
Earlier versions will not work, nor will later versions. It has to be this specific version.
P̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y̶ doesn't work on international editions either.
DOWNLOAD - R9S_TWRP.zip - V1.01
DOWNLOAD - R9S_TWRP.zip - V1.0
Changelog
1.01 - Tweaked timings to try and improve success rate
1.01 - Changed how text is output to hopefully improve appearance on Windows 7
This script uses an exploit by Chinese developer Wu Xianlin to gain temp root, then it flashes his TWRP build that works on the R9S despite the locked bootloader.
From there you can attempt to perma-root your phone, install a custom ROM etc. etc.

Antivirus issues
Some AV's may complain about this file containing a Trojan. They are technically correct. It's called "dirtycow" and is being used in the wild to hack into Linux systems. It cannot affect Windows systems, but I use it to hack a linux-based system (your phone)
If your AV refuses to let my script run you will have to disable it temporarily. Feel free to read through my script (root1.bat) to check what it is doing.
Useful things to flash in TWRP
CyanogenMod13 - by Wu Xianlin
Stock Recovery - by Wu Xianlin
GApps (ARM64) - by opengapps.org
Updated basebands, ripped from ColorOS
Use these only if you have issues with phone/GPS/etc. after installing CM. Otherwise leave alone.
[2017-01-11 v0180] - released ROM (China) - by me!
[2017-01-24 v1470] - ALPHA ROM (China) - by me!
Note: The version number on basebands stays the same, but the MD5s are different. No idea what has changed, but they work!
Unbrick instructions:
Does not work in Windows 10. Tested working in Windows 7
Download this unbrick package
Install the quallcommmtkdriver package
Run daanav-enabler as administrator
Run msmdownloadtool as administrator
Click through any timeout error you get
Click on the titlebar of MSMDownloadTool and press F6 to enable the options
Fully power down your phone by holding vol-, vol+ and power for 10 seconds
Hold vol- and vol+ while connecting the USB cable (use the stock Oppo cable)
MSM should now show your phone.
Press F5 to decide what to flash. For the first attempt choose "All except userdata".
Click the start button.
After 5 minutes your phone should reboot into ColorOS.
If ColorOS hangs on boot, then repeat the above staps and this time flash all, including userdata. This will wipe your photos etc. sorry!
This will leave you on V004 of the OS. You will need to upgrade to 005 before attempting to root again.
Can I request a version of this that stops at permanent rooting? Unless you think there would be a problem with the fact that I intend on using it on a r9s plus.
Or a link to what I maybe overlooked, in case it already exists.
Unfortunately this program doesn't perma-root. It gains a temp root and uses that to flash TWRP. TWRP can then be used to flash a custom ROM or a rooting tool.
It also doesn't unlock the bootloader. Wu Xianlin somehow managed to make a version of TWRP that the locked bootloader is happy with!
however if you edit root1.bat and scroll down to line 181. Change it from:
Code:
type root3.txt | adb shell /data/local/tmp/root2.sh
to:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/root2.sh
Then the script will just drop you to a root shell. Unfortunately you are then on your own as to how you get perma-root.
I have no idea whether this method will work on the R9SPlus. In theory it should do but I've not tried it. I won't be held responsible if you brick your phone and probably won't be able to help, though you should be able to do a three-finger reboot and then boot into recovery and reflash ColorOS.
Optional modifications you can make that will make the script neater:
You can also remove lines 178 and 179
Code:
echo Copying TWRP
adb push r9s-twrp-3.0.2.0-20170107.img /sdcard/twrp.img
and change line 184 from
Code:
pause
REM ---- CHINESE TWRP HELP ----
to
Code:
pause
exit
REM ---- CHINESE TWRP HELP ----
I will take your "I have no idea if this will work fo r9s+" at face value and try to be patient for something more certain, thanks for your contribution nonetheless
I saw the translation you posted and am a bit depressed Wu recommended to return the phone...
Oppo make amazing hardware but terrible software that is never updated. I used to be ok with this because they actively encouraged rooting and custom ROMs but this change in attitude from them makes it very hard to recommend the phone.
I would be interested to know if this exploit does gain root on the Plus. In theory it should work, and there's also a decent chance that TWRP will too as the hardware is very similar, but will require someone very brave/stupid to try it
BTW. Anyone who is going to try this on the Plus. Ensure you have a flashable .ozip of a working ColorOS (full install, not OTA) saved to internal storage as the stock Oppo recovery is a POS that doesn't provide ADB, MTP or USB.
If you end up wrecking your OS and don't have that image in place ready to flash from recovery you are screwed.
Likewise do not flash TWRP until you are sure that your OS is still bootable, and also take a dump of the stock recovery first! (and post it in the other thread as it's bloody useful to have!)

Hi the Unbrick pack RAR is corrupted and can not unzip.
Also there is Trojan in DOWNLOAD - R9S_TWRP.zip - V1.0 - Dirtycow file and the NOD Antivirus is deleting this file.
Please advice how to proceed ?
NOD is correctly detecting that this is a hacking tool using a well known exploit (dirtycow).
Since you actually want to do that, you're going to have to disable NOD until you're done.

Hi I got to somewhere but I am stuck now...
Please check the pic and advice how to install the CyangenMode. (I have uploaded the pic in your thread in Oppo Community forum please check it there because I am new here and can not post with external links..)
Sorry for the inconvenience. Looks like I am few steps away to finish the job but something is missing...

You need to do a wipe data/cache/dalvik as CM won't install on top of incompatible data.
Note that this will wipe your installed apps, settings, app data, saved games etc. but will not wipe your photos, music, downloads or anything else saved to internal storage.
You may wish to take a backup from within TWRP first. Apps like Titanium Backup and Nandroid Manager are reasonably good at restoring apps and data from a TWRP backup.
Also don't forget to install GApps

For the unbrick package you need 7-Zip to extract it.

Hi I am on Cyanogen now !!! Thanks for the help. Can you please tell me now which is the correct gapps version for our device. I have installed random one which does not make connection with google. I have tried to install ARM 64, but cant flash because systems says that is incompatible... Thanks

Select ARM64, android 6.0 and whichever variant you like (I recommend the Pico version)

Sorry for the English, I made a mess with the phone, after unlocking everything, and held the phone for several days with CM13, I saw that GPS was not working, so vovelo return to the origin, but now I can not installing Stock Recovery more to put the stock rom, I tried to do unbrick, but when I press start of msmdownloadtool, the program stops and closes. If some kind soul gives me some advice. Done everything under win 7 reset. Thank you so much Gianfranco.
GPS should be working. I'm using it all the time on CM13 as my phone is my satnav.
Maybe wipe and reflash, or try one of the baseband updates?
Sent from my OPPO R9s using XDA Labs
Now, the problem is more to do so that I can not leave,
I installed through the files Stock TWRP Recovery as a boot, and I hand the boot source and installing the original rom, after the reboot remains on oppo screen. what can I do. Thank you so much Gianfranco.
hold all three buttons for 10 seconds to forceibly power off the phone and then try to boot to recovery.
If you get the Oppo recovery then try to do a factory reset and then flash the stock ROM,
if you get TWRP then try to flash Cyanogen.
If you can't do either then you're going to have to run the unbrick tool. Do you have another PC you can try it on?
Thanks, but I have tried various solutions, when I install the boot ROM from stock, is successful, the reboot hangs installation applications. I wanted to know if you can other software for unlocking. Thank you very much for giving me some advice, thanks ancora.Gianfranco.
Hi,
This is a list (incomplete) of all the ROMs, mods, hacks, guides, etc. available for the Fire HD 8 (2017).
This was a root progress discussion thread, and I think there's too much valuable information here to just let it get buried. So, following @Rortiz2's suggestion this thread was transformed to a master thread with the aim of providing a complete guide for anyone wanting to mod their tablet.

Device Codename: douglas
Specifications:
SoC: Mediatek MT8163
CPU: Cortex-A53 (Quad Core 4x1.3Ghz)
GPU: Mali 720
RAM: 1.5GB
Android: 5.1 (FireOS 5.x.x.x)
Storage: 16/32GB
Includes a MicroSD slot
Battery: 3210mAh
Display: 8"
Front Camera: 2MP
Rear Camera: 2MP
The italicized text below are my comments/clarifications.
The root method was patched in 5.6.4.0 (some versions of 5.6.4.0 still work so you could try) It is advisable to disable OTA updates or unlock the bootloader immediately. It is still possible to unlock by a different method, check the bootloader unlocking thread.
Bootloader Unlock and TWRP:
[UNLOCK][ROOT][TWRP][UNBRICK] Fire HD 8 2017 (douglas)
This is an excellent and complete guide which has everything you need for this. Requires Linux, so you'll have to either install it as dual-boot or use a live system if you are not using it already. You don't need to downgrade if you are on 5.6.4.0.
Rooting:
You can flash Magisk using TWRP after bootloader unlock. Using Magisk is recommended because SuperSU is no longer supported, and Magisk has modules, Magisk Hide, and the root prompt is working (In SuperSU it's not working so you have to always grant root permissions which is a major security loophole)
Rapid Temporary Root for HD 8 & HD 10
This is the first software root method discovered for this tablet and is a really easy and quick method of getting a root shell, and the link has a complete guide on it. Refer here for installing SuperSU for permanent root, and here for an automated script for Windows.
[ROOT] Hardmod Root Your Amazon Fire HD 8 (7th Gen)
This is first root method ever discovered for this tablet and is a hardware root. This link has a complete step-by-step guide, assuming you have some soldering experience.
ROMs:
[ROM][unlocked]Lineage-12.1 for Amazon Fire HD8 2017 (douglas)
The first (and currently only) ROM for this device and it works great!
Miscellaneous:
Amazon Fire Toolbox, I have never tried this but it looks awesome!
Without root:
Removing accounts and viewing Usage Access settings which are hidden.
Debloating guide without root
With root:
A debloating guide made for HD 10, but works fine on the HD 8.
You can install apps as system apps just as on any other device, and you can use the app Link2SD for converting user apps to system apps. Refer to this StackExchange post for a guide on how to install apps as system.
Flashing GApps works well with TWRP, but the 16GB version doesn't have enough space in the system for even the pico version. Probably using pm uninstall on some system apps would work.
General Tips:
To return to stock or recover from a soft brick:
(Don't use this if you have already unlocked your bootloader: if you want just stock FireOS flash it through TWRP, and if complete stock follow the guide in the unlock thread)
(This assumes that you have ADB installed, I would not advise you on how here, there are numerous guides waiting for a Google search. This will erase your data.)
Download your current FireOS or a later firmware version. You can find the latest over at Amazon's website.
Boot to the recovery mode of your tablet, and use the volume and power buttons to select "Apply Update via ADB".
Now connect the tablet to a PC with a USB cabke, open a command prompt or shell on the directory where you downloaded the firmware BIN, enter the command adb sideload X.bin (replace X with the name of the BIN) and wait until finished (DON'T disconnect your device from the PC)
Now select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and "Yes" to wipe data (you can skip doing this if you want your data, but note that the tablet may bootloop or complain about corrupted data)
Select "Reboot system now"
The firmware BINs are just renamed ZIP files: you can rename it from .bin to .zip and treat it as such.
Amazon employs an anti-rollback mechanism which could permanently brick your device if you flash an older version through adb sideload. If you really want an older FireOS, you can rename .bin to .zip and flash them through TWRP after unlocking.
The stock launcher AppID is com.amazon.firelauncher, the stock keyboard is com.amazon.redstone, and the OTA update apps are com.amazon.device.software.ota and com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota.
Again, this list is incomplete, so please suggest any additions in the comments! (don't hesitate to suggest your own work-the target of this thread to be a comprehensive and complete guide on everything about this tablet)
Good luck modding this tablet!

NOW WE HAVE AN UNLOCKING METHOD WITH TWRP! THE CONTENT BELOW IS OUTDATED.
Hi,
Now, I'm sick of Amazon's bloat slowing my tablet, and the frustration of not being able to use root apps. Fire HD 10 got rooted, but HD 8 and HD 7 are still in dark. HD 7 users can at least downgrade their devices and hope for a root exploit, but HD 8 users can't. If anyone else wanting to root this tablet and make it super fast, get rid of Fire Launcher, use Xposed, remove bloat, etc., let's collaborate with this!
LATEST RELEASE - Fire OS 5.3.6.4/Fire OS 5.6.3.4
SECURITY PATCH - ???
KERNEL VERSION - 3.18.19
List of possible software root methods:
1.) eMMC overwriting
Thanks to the hardware root method, we have a full eMMC dump so using the loophole in the flash unlock process which causes overwriting partitions next to it, we could overwrite on all the way, flashing original things, to the system partition and then flash a modified system partition.
Additions to the list are welcome!
List of possible exploits
Additions to list are welcome!
1.)CVE-2017-8890
Status: Confirmed possible.
Description: As I think, this is the most exploitable currently. Running the PoC results in 'somewhat unnatural' Use-After-Free s but the PoC fails to orient them to escalate privileges.
Cons: This exploit is based on obsolete IPv4 sockets, unlike it's cousin CVE-2017-9077, which is based on IPv6, but rather the same exploitation as this. That 'may' make this harder to exploit, but of course there's no evidence.
I, really only added this to cons because you should have a con.
2.)CVE-2017-15868
Status: Unsure
Description: NP Hardass said that this vulnerability is present on the source,I haven't explored it yet.
Cons: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you tried these exploits, please notify me in below and I'll update the status. UPDATE: No point on keeping on trying these kernel exploits as no one (please correct me) who knows to write exploits in C comes here anymore. If someone wants to try though I will start maintaining this list again. Come on, let's collaborate on this!!! :laugh:
Thanks!
Download the eMMC dump from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=282721
PS: You can download original kernel sources from Amazon, just search for it.

LATEST RELEASE - Fire OS 5.6.0.1
SECURITY PATCH - 2017/08/01
KERNEL VERSION - 3.18.19*
*a quite old release it is.
List of possible exploits
Additions to list are welcome!
1.)CVE-2017-12762
Status: Unsure
Description: A super likely-to-work great exploit. If you want you can go look at the kernel source (link included below the thread) 3.18.19 for proof, it starts in line 2640. Looks like a stack buffer overflow.
Cons: ASLR may be an absolute game killer in this case. And some skill is required to exploit, very less-known around the internet. And Amazon may have removed the ISDN support up from the roots of kernel, because it's VERY deprecated.
2.)CVE-2017-16939
Status: Unsure
Description: A nice attack vector. A PoC is available in SecuriTeam blogs, which triggers use-after-free. I tried contacting them for some help, but they almost instantly replied that they don't provide support for their reported vulnerabilities. Sad.
Cons: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3.)CVE-2017-15868
Status: Unsure
4.)CVE-2017-10661
Status: Unsure
5.)CVE-2017-7541
Status: Unsure
6.)CVE-2017-6074
Status: Unsure
If you tried these exploits, please notify me in below and I'll update the status. Come on, let's collaborate on this!!! :laugh:
Thanks!
I added the link to the vulnerable code, in case anyone was wondering.
I'm glad to see this thread. Since recently rediscovering the potential of an old Fire 6 and rooting it, removing the bloat and Googlizing it, I wanted to get something a little bigger. I just got my 7th gen HD 8 in the mail yesterday and was devastated to see it was 5.4.0.1. I've blocked OTA, deleted the update it had downloaded, installed Google Play et al., and used NoRoot Data Firewall to block all Amazon apps. Unfortunately, I do not have the expertise to contribute much toward an effort to root this device but would like to help in any way. I appreciate seeing others are out there working on it.
if i knew how to develop the exploits i would honestly try these
Thank you so much for making this thread but I hope I never have to come back here and help, but if i get some extra time in the future I do plan on running all my binaries + servers on the tablet as well. Not to mention just looking at that version number made me want to vomit.

Hello rawfullz!
Try Greenify. You can use a workaround to grant it Usage Access.
1) Download Activity Launcher and Greenify from Play Store.
2) Launch Activity Launcher.
3) Notice the "Recent" text in the task-bar, press it, and select "All" from the drop-down list.
4) Scroll all the way below until you find "Settings", and press it.
5) Again, scroll below until you find "Apps with usage access", and press it.
6) The hidden "Apps with usage access" menu will pop up.
7) Grant Greenify usage access there. (You can turn off usage access for all Amazon apps if you want, to increase performance but it's recommended to leave out "Storage Management" intact, just in case.)
8) Launch Greenify, and continue with the setup.
9) :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
If you ever want to grant any other app Usage Access, do this procedure, but, remember that "Activity Launcher" is kind of dangerous, if you just launch random activities. I learned that the hard way.
REMOVED
Thank you for making this thread, im looking forward to this become real.
What I dont get is you can download the firmware.bin as well as the source code from amazon, Whats the problem devs should be able to root ?

Hello!
Yes, we definitely can get the firmware. But there are some troubles,
1. Amazon devices are not very well known among the community.
2. Devs don't want to spend their time on our devices, even if we root this thing, no custom ROMs because of the locked bootloader.
3. Amazon didn't leave any loopholes on their OS, they are too clever.
And, I don't think that Amazon will open source their firmware until they checked throughly for any exploits.
We'll have to find exploits the rough way. :crying:
Hey, what about the Janus vulnerability? If some dev is reading this, please help us, because it doesn't require the device.

You don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash a ROM.

Great to see this thread. Hope some devs collaborate and find a way. Can't wait.
Meanwhile, do you guys have any cool mod to try in the tab.
I have installed playstore and adfree iytb YouTube and bunch of usual apps.

Yes, you don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash a ROM, theoretically, if the ROM is signed by Amazon. But considering custom ROMs, Lineage, Resurrection Remix, Stock Android, is it possible to compile and flash them without an unlocked bootloader? I thought that you need a custom recovery = unlocked bootloader. Thanks!

Ask @ggow how he does it. But you don't need a unlocked bootloader. With root, FlashFire helps to get by the bootloader.
