[ROOT] Superboot - Nexus 7 WiFi / 3G root solution

Introducing.... Superboot!
Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!
APPLY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Superboot r4 - DOWNLOAD - MD5: f53825a2df09277f899b6738b3a059d5
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume up' and 'volume down' buttons both pressed to enter the bootloader (as pictured below)
- WINDOWS - double click 'superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x superboot-mac.sh' followed by './superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x superboot-linux.sh' followed by './superboot-linux.sh'
Note: If you are using a retail device, you may need to unlock the bootloader first, using './fastboot-windows oem unlock' (or the appropriate version for your machine, included in this zip). Note that the OEM unlock sequence wipes your device, so consider doing an 'adb backup' beforehand if required!
Enjoy!

glad to see u here Paul. any plans on a cwm or are you using the one available in the other root thread? I see u porting superboot everywhere, awesome!

I'll probably just use the CWM already made, unless there's a good reason to make a new one?

I've got a question I hope won't bother you to answer, Paul.
My goal with my Nexus 7 when it arrives is to be able to load up Titanium Backup Pro and restore some of my Games (App+Data). I' d like to know if I understand the process right to get to that point and still be able to receive OTA updates.
The first thing I should do when I turn on my device is boot into the bootloader and oem fastboot unlock.
Next, I should follow your instructions to chmod and install the superboot package.
When my device reboots after this, should I be able to update to 4.1.1 and retain root so I can install TBpro?

KFHD System.img Restore Tool- Updated links 5/15/14

KINDLE FIRE HD ONLY!!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
I put together this tool for those that have tried to modify their system unsuccessfully and bricked their device. You must be able to get your device into fastboot for this to work. The easiest way is to purchase a factory cable or make your own(a $15 purchase or a little bit of your time is better than a bricked device).
The .img's in this tool were made from a rooted device w/ the su binary in place. There is no need to re-root your device, however if you choose to erase cache and user data(not necessary but may be a good idea) you will need to re-install Superuser.apk to gain root.
Instructions:
1.) Download the version you want to use from the link below and unzip.
2.) Enable fastboot mode. Turn off your device then plug into your pc using a factory cable. If the device is recognized by adb then you can use this command:
Code:
adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
3.) Run the SR Tool.bat and follow the instructions. If you wish to downgrade system versions see instructions at the bottom of the post.
Downloads:
KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5- 7.3.0 (seperate option for restoring factory recovery)
KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0- 7.2.3 (separate option for restoring factory recovery)
KFHD_SRT_v1.2.3- 7.2.3
KFHD_SRT_v1.2- 7.2.1
KFHD_SRT_v1.0- 7.1.5
I apologize for the size of this tool. The .img files used are rather large. If you want to use your own backup .img then download the lastest version of this tool from here. Just place your system.img inside images folder. It must be named system for option 1 or system2 for option 2
UPDATES:
4/20/13
-separate option to restore factory recovery and boot now on v1.3.0
4/17/13
-KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5
-flashing boot and recovery images now a separate option
3/21/13
-KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0
-boot and recovery images inlcuded
-SuperSU and GoogleServicesFramework now included as system apk's
12/22/12
-KFHD_SRT_v1.2.3
-System v7.2.3
-New option for installing Googleservicesframework.apk
12/17/12
-downgrade method instructions(confirmed)
12/1/12
-KFHD_SRT_v1.2
-new system partition backups for software v7.2.1
-vending.apk to phonesky.apk for newest version of play store
Instructions for downgrading to 7.2.1:
1.) Download boot and recovery imgs(these are backus from 7.2.1) from this LINK and place in the folder where you have access to fastboot or inside the KFHD_SRTool_v1.2 folder
2.) Use KFHD_SRTool_v1.2 to flash system.img.
3.) Erase userdata and cache
4.) Open a cmd prompt from the folder where you placed the previously downloaded .img's.
Use these cmds:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
5- Reboot.
Those who deserve our thanks:
kinfauns for the how to on backing up and restoring system software.
bazm60 for confirming the method above works.
hellocali626 for bringing to my attention the need to flash boot and recovery images for downgrade.

To anyone who has downloaded or will download this update- The backups were made from software v7.2.1_user_2030320. A couple of days after I made this backup amazon sent out a second update to 7.2.1_user_2040020. That said if you use this tool with the images included, your device will update to the new version. You will lose root, launchers, and phonesky.apk. It will not cause any problems and will still restore the system but you will have to re-root. Sorry for any inconvenience and I will try to load new backups as soon as I can.

FWIW, I rerooted my KFHD after v7.2.1_user_2030320 was pushed. Oddly it did not lose root after it was updated to 2040020. Only change I noticed was the reappearance of ads in the start-up/lock screen. Anyone else experience the same?

Think you've gotten lucky, i've flashed mine a couple times with the 2030320 backup and when it updates it loses root every time.

Same thing happened to me. Everything worked including root.

Yes it works on the KFHD 7" and KF2 7", It does not work on the 8.9" version however it is not needed because you can use a fastboot command with product id while powering on and works everytime, even when no adb and in bootloop(confirmed personally all of the above)
Hope you don't mind I've directed a few people to your link for factory cables.

Thank you for making such high quality cables at such a reasonable price.

Totaly agree.... someone should make a more noob proof topic, with links to the required stuff you need. The topic that exists is comparable to this ( no offense author ) : " How to draw a horse? Step 1) you take a piece of paper and a pen.... Step 2) You draw the ****ing horse.

I used that guide and I used method 2 the fast boot way, just take it step by step, start by downloading the fastboot link then get the update from Asus and extract it twice and move the blob file to the fastboot folder the just follow the steps mate

I think the guide by joel is excellent. It is really easy to follow - which bits don't you understand? Ask here and we'll try to aid you.

I agree with Rob. Come to think of it, I haven't read one time where someone was using CWM on the new bootloader. I'm almost positive that it isn't even compatible.
Sent from my LG-LG855 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2

It says in the thread to use TWRP and then it walks you through the process.
First using method 3
"Method 3: Update using TWRP recovery
Notes:
You must have TWRP installed
You need to put the update file on an SD card
This was the method I used since I wanted to prevent any bugs due to old data and to ensure the new partitions from 4.2 would be OK
You will keep your data as long as you don't wipe Data and Factory reset (including internal memory)...... etc"
And then below that :
-- Installing TWRP (Recovery) --
Since this new update brings a new bootloader, older recovery versions from 4.1 won't work at all. Don't try to flash one!
This guide will give you a patched recovery that works (almost) fine on the new bootloader. And yes, it can read/write to an external SD just fine. Follow this steps to install the new recovery on your device:
Connect the tablet to the computer
Reboot the tablet using the proper button on the power menu, holding Volume down until you see three icons (RCK, Android and Wipe Data)
Download this file and unpack it (it contains fastboot and a patched version of TWRP 2.4.4.0)
Open a command line on the extracted folder (you can use the instructions I wrote in Method 2 if you don't know how to do this) and type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
Wait for the script to complete. Once it is done, reboot the tablet by holding volume down and power button for 10 seconds or using
Code:
fastboot reboot
on the command line. Don't enter recovery directly!
You have now the new recovery for Android 4.2 .
So if you want to flash TWRP follow the instructions and then use method 3 to update and then reflash TWRP again

[Q] Confused! Unlock and Rooting new tf700

Brand new user here! So much info on this site; truly amazing
I have read so much, but still can't seem to figure out the best, error free method to root the TF700.
- New tablet that I bought 5 days ago.
I understand how to unlock as that's simple.
I understand I need to install TWRP.
After reading a website on androidcentral, I got the impression I need to start the Fastboot tool in Windows, and boot tablet into Fastboot mode, connect to PC...ect.
XDA forums suggests downgrading the firmware and using MOTOCHOPPER
Also, someone said to just install Scott's recovery install tool and rooting will be an option.
Any help would be great as I don't want to mess up my new toy!!!!!

Very understandable!
Downgrading to .8 and using Motochopper is useless by now. That was the easiest method to get TWRP on your tab. You would root and use GooManager to install TWRP. But Goo doesn't support flashing recoveries anymore - so root doesn't get you any closer to getting a custom recovery and a custom rom.
You have to use the fastboot method now (and need to be unlocked for that).
If you are new to this, you may want to read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
Scott's tool is a possibility but hasn't been updated or supported in quite a while. I would recommend the Minimal ADB Fastboot Tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Or you go for the whole enchilada and install the SDK Developer tool on your PC.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html
Which is kinda overkill if you don't want to develop stuff for Android. What you really need out of that package is the Platform Tools.
Either way - get the correct drivers installed on your PC and fastboot TWRP 2.6.1 or 2.6.3.1 (I prefer the earlier version) onto your tab.
Then flash away :cyclops:

While it is true that GooManager downloads no longer work, it is still possible to install a recovery from a rooted Android using dd to mmcblk0p4. But it is a good idea to do it via fastboot, just to learn how that works in case one really needs it.

Hello

So I basically need to install the ADB fastbood on my PC and connect my TF700 to my PC via USB?

No you put your TF700 into fast boot mode by booting into the bootloader by holding down power and Volume Down when powering on.
First make sure you have downloaded the correct TWRP recovery blob file for your device from the TeamWin webpage. Use their search to find and choose the blob image for JB4.2 for the TF700T.
Rename it to twrp.blob and put it into the same folder as the fast boot.exe file
Then with it connected to your PC via USB, open a command window in the fastboot.exe folder (shift, right click, open command window here) and type or paste the following one line at a time. Wait for each line to finish:
Code:
TWRP:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot bootloader
When it reboots back into the bootloader pressing the volume down on ECK will now load TWRP

Hello
Think I understand most of this...
Do I need to do anything with USB debug?
When I open command window, due I include TWRP: in each line, or is that not needed?
And what is volume down on ECK?
Sorry If I sound like an idiot; this is all new to me.

Omit the TWRP ahead of the fastboot command. I think sbdags meant to write that outside of the code marks.
He's a busy man....
ECK is a typo. Supposed to be RCK, the icon for your recovery in the bootloader menu. And you have to push Volume UP on the flashing icon to enter it. Volume Down let's you cycle through the icons.

When you have your system up and running the way you want, go back to your TWRP and do a nandroid backup. After the backup, you can disable your Fsync. The worse case is to restore your back or reinstall your rom but you will enjoy your tablet more with Fsync off...

Hi all,
Sorry for jumping in but let's try and keep to the thread topic please. Also, keep in mind that the people who take the time to develop roms, kernels, recoveries, and ect for the members of XDA do so out of their free time because they want to. They do not owe anybody anything, nor should they have to put up with ungrateful members badgering them about their contributions for absolutely no reason.

Whatabout This file ? With this flash bootloader is unlocked? After that could we install a custom recovery to flash another ROM?

This will just return fastboot. You can then use "fastboot oem unlock" but I deliberately left it "unlockable" vs unlocked for security reasons.

Just compile from source (source is already on CM github), some things aren't ready yet so I won't provide a .zip package .

by using fastboot ("fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.ing) . This isn't intended for the average user.

@uberlaggydarwin
thank you for your hard work and providing your knowledge to the community. I think this was the initial step for further custom rom development for the oppo f1!

Hello,
I don't find it on official TWRP website (https://twrp.me/Devices/) ? Will it be added there soon?
Thanks for sharing anyway.
Enjoy!

Sure..
Not sure why on the website, I suppose dees_troy hasn't updated the website yet.

I think, there is a litle "case-sensitive" bug in twrp, that breaks installs--
Code:
getprop("ro.build.product") == "F1f" || abort("This package is for \"F1f\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.build.product") + "\".");
..getprop() returns "f1f" in twrp instead of "F1f" as it is stored in the build.prop.. but for now you can adjust the one letter in the updater-script.

Yes. It does work or I wouldn't have released it.
Make sure you tick "allow oem unlocking" in dev settings after you've flashed my .zip.
then just "fastboot oem unlock" with your computer (this will wipe your data).

I don't offer support as I've said. Annoying me just ruins it for everyone. I've reported your post as it serves no good (like all your previous posts with ideas that weren't even valid or true).
Let's be clear. I will just stop providing free things if I get harassed (I'll even get the vulnerabilities patched so harder for future roots)..

Did you see this?
http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=45999&extra=page=1
Project Spectrum for F1f is coming soon to closed beta test. Maybe you can stop giving out "Magictricks" and use the aboot of PS for the public to unlock the F1f.
That's what I used in my R7S unlocking guide to flash TWRP. It's more work than a simple update.zip but don't forget. If they really want it, they can do a few more steps to get it working.
IMHO it's better than the chance to someone figuring out "Magictricks" and use your hard work!

I think new bug in twrp-- the system-time is alway overwritten by the hw-time after booting into twrp.. but i see no way to set the hw-clock directly. I set the system-clock without problems via date-command, but hwclock -w (Set hardware clock from system time) always print "hwclock: RTC_SET_TIME: Invalid argument" ..

That's because there is a flag missing in the TWRP device tree.
TARGET_RECOVERY_QCOM_RTC_FIX := true
Needs to be set but it doesn't affect any main feature of TWRP itself.

Thanks for your hardwork uberlaggydarwin sucessfully installed twrp.
