[Q] Install files in recovery mode without volume buttons? - General Questions and Answers

Hello, thanks in advance for any suggestion you may have.
I bought a stupid Logicom TAB752 tablet (don't do that) and I'm trying to root it (just to install Google Play which is not there).
I would try the Crystal Root (it seems to be an aml8726-mx or similar platform, with JB 4.1.1) but the tablet has no volume buttons!
So I'm not able to navigate the menu to apply the zip file, within the recovery mode.
Any suggestion?
I was not able to find a clear solution already available in the forum. Someone is suggesting to install CWM recovery, but I understood I would need root access to install it?
Any other possibility to get root access on this kind of (chinese) tablet?
Thanks again

Thanks a lot for the suggestion!
After trying many many root procedures without any success, I've been now able to install "su.apk" by Cydia Impactor
The Google Play is not working yet (closes immediately after opening) but I think I can still try something (I understood I should try a fab reset and reinstall of all the Google apps from gapps....)

Hi
Would you have any solution for this tablet that goes straight to the recovery?
It seems to have root access though when I type adb shell I get uid=0<root> gid=0<root>

Ok try this:
- enable usb debugging in developer options
- connect tablet with usb to your computer and root it with Cydia Impactor
- you will have root access then
- then try to go to recovery with Cydia Impactor OR with Quick Boot or Rebooter app.
you probably are able to go to recovery with one of those 3 apps.
if you want to push a rom to your tablet just use windows explorer / winscp or just do it with ADB.

Like I mentioned in the first post the tablet goes directly to the recovery, there is no android ROM installed obviously.
I could try cydia again but I don't know what ROM I can flash on this tablet...EDIT: or even if it's possible to flash one given the few options

Are you using any custom rom?..
connect the tablet to the computer and see how much free space the computer see..
try to download an app from the web and install by file manager hd or another similar app..
No custom rom.
I have the stock rom, but I dont want to.
I wiped the user data so now the market works, but I cant use root...
Superuser wont install binary...
The TF wont stay in APX mode either...
Any ideas?
No way to reinstall root user? Please help!
Any error messages?
The only error I get at the moment is when I try to update the SuperUser binary. On check it says Binary=legacy.
It says: Update failed. Try again? (in Swedish ).
The recovery wont even install. Plz, a little help is wanted...
Anything?
Razorclaw v1.0.1 says "This device already has a correct SU binary..."

Use Su Update fixer apk for helping to fix problem with SU apk.
And if you've got barcode scanner apk (or another) use it for update SU
Well thanks, but did not help. The updater says "Fix failed. Try downloading and flash an update.zip...".
Problem is then, I have no Idea how to do that, besides, I cant use a single app in root, it doesn't find "root"...
Root checker basic doesnt. The only app that finds it is razorclaw... Im a bit confused...
More ideas?
This is the last version SU 3.0.6 for HC - Try it.
Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip - 608 KB
Thanks. How do i use that ?

Starting with post #113 by kmdm
There's instructions on how to get su binary working manually.
If you do this it should work...
First do a hard reset on the TF.
There is to ways 1 pressing Vol - and Start button
Or Setting - Privacy - restore data
And then is so easy you just follow this thread and do what they say....
---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19512811#post19512811
If you dont want a custom room back up your TF and then reaload it. The market problem will disapear...
Several problems.
1. Wiping data and installing razorclaw again does NOT help. The binary problem still remains.
2. Nothing what so ever happens when pushing "Flash recovery" with the app RecoveryInstaller.apk.
3. No recovery app when Vol- and Power is pushed down. Only ASUS Wipe data and cold booting options.
How do I flash the binary manually?
Please, Im sick of this unrooted TF

Did u update like i told you? first update your TF to latest Asus update... Until you dont update you will get errors!!!!
Well, I tried to do as you said. But it didnt help. What is the latest update? I have 8.6.5.19, is there a later one?

I need root too! I wonder if any of the ics exploits will work with this?!
I hope someone does something with this tablet. Would be great. My kids just got one but it don't seem like you can do much.
Barely any apps, any sites I try to go to its blocked. My daughter doesn't want it anymore because you can't even use Facebook

Yeah i bought one for my son and i cant even get it to go to the lexibooks app store. I wonder if we could find out the chipset and port a stock nexus7 rom to it or something. Maybe even create our own update.zip
Poop splash gives you AIDS... and an iPhone
I've had a go at compiling aosp before... I'd love to give this a try.
I've been looking for exploits so we can have root.. but there's no point without first having a working clockworkmod recovery. Because u couldn't backup or flash another ROM without it.
If we knew what chipset it was based on.. it would give us somewhere to start. Also some source code would be nice.
I'd be happy to do some builds and test.. but I would need to know I have a backup I can flash if all goes wrong.

Hi,
I did this and the screen shows an android laying down with the cover ("hood") open and an exclamation mark inside a red triangle. What does this mean? Can I do a factory restore? Please help, I got me one of these at a flea market with the plan to give it to my daughter and now it's useless, but she saw it and is all excited about having her own tablet and I'm going to have to buy a new one if I cannot make this one work. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I had same problem and asked the customer service.
Here is the reply from them.
Please find the steps to unlock the tablet:
Select the settings icon in the corner of your tablet.
It will ask you for your password, leave it blank and the keyboard comes up.
On the bottom of the screen there is a small icon of a keyboard, press on it and then you will press on "set up and input" the settings comes up, press on "back up and reset" then "factory reset" then "tablet reset".
The tablet will be reset in 3 to 5 min, let it restart then put a new password.
Please be aware that if you do a factory reset, the tablet program will be restored but all your datas and applications may be erased except the applications installed by default on the tablet.
Did anyone get theirs rooted at all? If so, could someone help me out? I was trying to put CWM on mine and it seems to be bricked. I can get into flash mode, but have image to flash. So if anyone is rooted, hopefully we can use DD to dump the stock image.
Thanks
If anyone is still interested in this thread, I just acquired a little MFC270EN and successfully rooted it with KingoRoot. I was able to remove all the little games and annoying bloatware. I haven't tried flashing another version of Android onto it, but it's working fine and I'm using Google Chrome (I removed the Lexibook browser with all its "safety" lol), checking my Facebook and I just installed Link2SD to give it some more space.

[GUIDE] How to install drivers and root Lenovo IdeaPad A2107 (easily and safely)

PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK! WORKED 100% for me!
Hi again,
Here is another guide on rooting. This guide can also help you root all Android Devices below Jelly Bean.
1) Take your IdeaTab and enable USB debugging.
2) Download Mobogenie from here: www.mobogenie.com/
3) After installing it on your PC, Connect your IdeaPad and select USB storage.
4) Mobogenie will detect and install necessary drivers.
5) Download SRS Root, from here: www.srsroot.com/
6) Click on 'Root using all methods'.
7) Your IdeaPad will reboot 3 times (in some cases 2). On the second last reboot, your device will lag a lot and there wont be sound. Calm and be cool, this is only normal.
8) On the last reboot, you will have gained root access. Update the Superuser installed to the latest version.
The above guide is for Lenovo IdeaPad A2107. However, using SRS Root, you can root almost all devices below Jelly Bean (I tried rooting my Optimus L5 on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 but didnt work out)
Please hit the thanks but if this helped you out!

Hey, guys. So here it is:
ROOT + TWRP
Smart Ultra 7 ONLY !
NEW TWRP VERSION: 3.1-0
_____________________________________________________
HOW TO ROOT ? :
This nethod will break OTA, so for update you must use SUGAR.
1) Download TWRP and SPFT from my PAGE and place it on desktop.
2) Download these files and put them on your SD CARD: SuperSU_1 and SuperSU_2
3) Turn off your phone and run SP FLASH TOOL.
3) When the SP FLASH TOOL starts, select MT6755 scatter file and MTK_AllinOne_DA.bin file (they are in SPFT folder)
4) Select ONLY recovery and load the TWRP_3.X.X file. (X.X means a version of TWRP)
5) Press download.
6) Connect your powered off phone to PC via USB cable.
7) After flashing the TWRP, hold VOLUME UP + POWER to boot into TWRP.
8) In TWRP press "INSTALL" and flash the boot patch - SUPERSU_1 and then flash root - SUPERSU_2.
9) Reboot and enjoy.
KingRoot Fidelity
Is it safe to root with KingRoot? Have been trying to figure out the best way root this phone for two weeks now, and trying to avoid KingRoot all this time.
Can you replace the KingRoot Binaries and Root Management Tools with the SuperSU ones?
Will Xposed Framework work on this phone? Really want AdAway, Greenify and Xposed Tweaks on the Vodafone Smart Ultra 7.
Thanks!
You can replace kingroot with supersu thanks to this app:
http://download.dlapk.org/?apkid=darkslide.com.supersume&ver=6.7&server=snah
I did not try the xposed yet.
But it should work properly.
Thanks for the reply,
I still feel skeptical about KingRoot, and there are reports that indicate that replacing KingRoot with SuperSU isn't that easy either, KingRoot seems to completely deny root once altered or removed, which makes it look even more shady, I really want root on this phone, there are tweaks I would love to do such as dpi change, remove the vodafone label on the statusbar and more, but I don't know if I'm willing to use KingRoot in the process. I'm used to SuperSU and Xposed Framework working flawlessly, so I'm really 'scared' on this one.
Thanks

I guess we'll have to wait for further development on the phone, I won't put my phone trough KingRoot, and you even reported that it isn't working for you... oh well.
Really wanted root on this phone, lets hope someone actually picks it up just as they did with the previous model (Smart Prime 6 / Smart Ultra 6).

Don't give up just yet, I do understand your desperation, as I feel almost the same as you, but you'll see someone will find a way, at least I hope...
This phone its awesome for its price point, and would be absolutely marvelous with all the tweaks and adjustments root brings to the table.
Who knows, maybe we'll have a full developed phone (custom ROMs, root, recovery, all of that good stuff), we can only wish someone works on it... :highfive:

I didn't, the phone came as it is out of the box, no software updates were made...
I guess we've found the issue, if the software versions don't match, that means everyone with yours (120FKN1) can root with KingRoot, and everyone with mine (060FFN1) can't...
I've got an issue in my hands I see...

You are welcome.
Rest assured you do have a bootloader. You may not have the bootloader interface the other Transformers have and possibly there is no way to get fastboot to work on this thing - I don't know.
There is no custom rom for this tablet, and if you do not want to loose 4G you cannot use one made for another Transformer either (no idea if that is even possible, I do not know the KL).
Your best bet is to gain root and uninstall a bunch of cr**, maybe use Greenify - I don't know. Very limited what you can do on stock....
I seem to recall that people got root with Framaroot on this thing. Google it, the info is out there. If I can find it so can you

ok let me get to the keypoints here that made me ask for help, and so you'll see that i'm not just a lazy person that doesn't use google
1) Some people they say that the KL can accept all the roms of the Tf700T. for example katkiss is saying to use one of their roms
1.a) some say that it will brick the device.
so, first question here, what will happen if i'll get a custom rom of the TF700T?
2) some people say that I should have a version of the "unlock bootloder" after unlocking with the asus app.
Well I don't have anything, I just have a small phrase which is "device unlocked" and that's it. nothing else.
3) some say on google that there is a cyanogen mod for the KL. Unfortunately cyanogenmod wiki and forum are down, so I can't find either assistance, either the files.
nothing to do here, then.
4) let's say I'll follow your guide, and i'll flash a custom rom. will I lose the 4g?
4.a) how can I get to the old rom, even original, in order to get 4g back?
5) about root: i managed to root it a long time ago. Unfortunately, even disabling most of the package and all the bloatware, the device really sucks.
that's the main reason why I abandoned there 3 years ago. now it's full of dust, and as I've been working a lot, I wanted to get it back with basic functions, but without waiting 10 seconds from the moment i press on APPS BUTTON and the actual time for which I see the apps page.
so, here's my google searching experience.

1) Some people they say that the KL can accept all the roms of the Tf700T. for example katkiss is saying to use one of their roms
1.a) some say that it will brick the device.
so, first question here, what will happen if i'll get a custom rom of the TF700T?

I'd say the first question is: Is there a compatible custom recovery for the KL and how to install it? I do not know that there ever was a custom recovery made for the KL and using one made for another Transformer may or may not brick your device. I do not see a single post from anyone stating that they successfully installed a custom rom or recovery on the KL, so my guess is: It cannot be done unless you develop a custom recovery for this tablet and find a way to flash it.
2) some people say that I should have a version of the "unlock bootloder" after unlocking with the asus app.
Well I don't have anything, I just have a small phrase which is "device unlocked" and that's it. nothing else.

Well, there's the first difference to other Transformers: Most of them have a bootloader menu from where you can boot into recovery or into Android and perform a data wipe. Booted into the bootloader you also have fastboot access. The KL does not seem to have any of this. Do you have fastboot working on your PC? Try it, boot with Vol down or Vol Up and then check if you have fastboot access to the tablet. I doubt it....
3) some say on google that there is a cyanogen mod for the KL. Unfortunately cyanogenmod wiki and forum are down, so I can't find either assistance, either the files.
nothing to do here, then.

I've only seen post users expressing hope or wishes for CM for the KL. I don't think there ever was a working CM rom for the KL

You cannot follow my guide unless you figure out a way to get fastboot working. You could try to flash TWRP recovery using their app or Flashify, but which TWRP?? Which version might be compatible with your bootloader? Nobody knows it seems. But heck! What have you got to loose? You are not going to use the tablet in its current state anyway, so if you brick it - who cares?
But to answer your question: Yes, you would definitely loose the 4G. The software for your modem has its own partition and no rom made for the wifi-only Transformers even knows this partition exists, let alone about the hardware

Again: Untested territory. If you had a custom recovery or fastboot you might be able to flash the Asus firmware in either. Maybe
you won't believe me
I was away for 1 month
got back
installed framaroot
installed greenify
now it runs with like 10 apps total (including the keyboard)
tablet STILL UNUSABLE, takes 1 minutes to open youtube, 2 mins to open play store
Id really like to brick it rather than keep it like that

I then flashed the TWMR
when i rebooted it said
"no usb connected"
i then connected to the PC
and it say
"READY FOR DOWNLOAD" with an android picture
i can't boot it up again
what should i do now?
when i now do the FASTBOOT DEVICES command on pc, I see the serial of the asus
it's the first time fastboot sees it
I tried doing "fastboot update kitkatnougatellaxxxx.zip"
but it say that android-info.txt & android-product.txt not find so not flashable
what now, then? I can't even use it with the old OS
You need to boot into the TWRP that you flashed, hold the volume button down and press the power button (hold both) until you get the fastboot screen, the square with [RCK] should be blinking. Now press the volume up button to enter the TWRP recovery console. - NP

this is what i get when i press the button normal boot button
this is what i get when i press the volum down + boot button
I just did flashifty with the latest TMWR recovery for TF700T
help pliz
best bet would be to do a factory reset, I don't believe this rom will work on the KL model. - NP
it doesn't even allow the factory reset, as if i press it it gives the NO USB CONNECTED screen
i'd say it's bricked

Try selecting [1] "Enter SD down mode" which is Enter SD download mode and see if you get to the next menu. - NP
I can't
I mean it doesn't get to the next menu
I've been trying to find the threads on how to re-flash the stock ASUS ROM from the SD cardseeing this is the only way to get the TF700k working but I can't find it know. It involved have the ROM in the root directory on the SDcard and giving it a specific name, this name triggers the tablet to update itself. - NP
