I succeeded to root my Star S7180
Look for
"Cwm Recovery S7100 by Angelobiz"
and flash it using the last part of this manual "MT6577 CWMR Root Updated V2"
Then you can boot into the clockwork mod and install a "su" root zip.

If it is a Star / HDC / UPAI Note 2 clone also known as a N7100+ S7100 and S7180 then there is a spanish forum which has instructions and fixed versions of the stock rom
http://www.movilesdualsim.com/foro/forums/128-N7100-S7180
there is a moderator there who has deodexed and fixed some of the problems with the stock rom
Installing and flashing CWM for this phone is not for the faint of hearted. Using the MTK flash tool and creating your own scatter flash file and even your own up to date CWM is advisable. There is a thread on here which explains how to do the flashing and creating your own CWM recovery.
Or you use the CWM by the spanish forum and their instructions
good luck!

OK, I've looked on the spanish forums and I really cant get my head around it. Ive had some rooting experience via Odin when rooting my HTC One X and Galaxy S3 but nothing like this. Anyone care to do a guide in proper English as opposed to google's translated guide? Ideally I want to gain root access and install an improved rom. The one which is installed with the phone is pretty lame.
Thanks guys, any help appreciated

s7180
Further to my last post, if this is any good I keep getting the following error when I try to flash recovery.img to the handset:
BROM ERROR : S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)
Need download all images!
.................I havent a clue what the hell that means. Grr, its doing my nut in

I tried translating the spanish forum to no avail.
I also tried using the method for the NT6577 chipset, nadda.
Any help would be appreciated

It would appear that your the only one who has managed to root yours. Please would you mind compiling an idiots guide for us noobs If I can get Clockwork mod on the phone I think I could probably figure the rest out.
Much obliged

Thanks for the pointers guys, I was unable to escape the bootloader!

its not a guide as such but might help in giving more pointers.
I managed to replace the existing recovery and replace it with my own generated CWM recovery.
In order to do this I followed this guide!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923764 which has a link to a tutorial
I went and installed the droid kitcen and MT6577 plugin as well in order to create my own recovery as that was my prefference. use any files of the internet at your own risk or lower the risk and DIY it!
This is curtesy of yuweng who did all the hard work writing it up.
Regarding to my phone which is classed as an S7180 or N7100+
I found this website
http://gt35pro-mobile-gadgets.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/hdc-s7100-note-2-is-now-renamed-hdc.html
He also gives out the links to which packages to download inlcuding a CWM recovery.
**************************** disclaimer *************
Don't use a scatter file that you did not create using the tools that yuweng is referencing to in his thread and tutorial!!!!!!!!!
if you use the wrong scatter file you flash the recovery into the wrong section of memory and therefore run at a HUGE risk of bricking the phone
***************************** disclaimer end *************
In essence the order I did things in
Backed up my original recovery using the Flashtool
Created my own CWM recovery using the Android Kitchen which needs the MT6577 tool and plugin installing as a mod (search XDA for the guide as to hoto do the install and yuweng also has a tutorial on how to add the MT6577 recovery generation for this)
Using MTK Droid tools to generate my own scatter file. ( a scatter file is like a memory map as to where the start and is and in this case the map for the CWM)
then using the Flash tool i flashed it using my scatter and my previously created CWM. See yuweng tutorial.
Again Gregg has provided a CWM, I can't comment on it as I never tried it.
anyway the moment i had CWM, I flashed the ROM that was on that blog page. Which came of the spanish forum originally. And they are now on version 1.2 las time I looked. 1.0 fixes a few things, i am using 1.1 as 1.2 removed the touchwiz look a like launcher and my 3D sheep widget
TIPS
* Driver installation is crucial to succesfully flashing with the FlashTool
- Switch phone off and remove the battery, then plug it in. Complete that driver install
- Re-insert battery and check without booting it you will notice that it does not have the same behaviour as with battery...very odd...still do it just in case
-boot it up and once ready put it in USB debug mode and connect usb lead and let the driver install complete
* READ THE TUTORIALS - Seriously i spent 1/2 day nonstop checking things
* Don't do this if you are not sure about what you are doing at all.
* Check your scatter file values for where the recovery is going to be flashed at least 4 times before commiting them into the flashtool. It pays to be safe!!
* Dont get freaked out by Hex values when you put them into the flashtool. if it looks wrong then check again. Only when you press the download button in the flashtool with your phone attached will it start.

stupid question
Hi ! Im following yuweng tutorial to make my own recovery ,but im stucked in starting android kitchen. I have installed all and i am at page 13 of the manual , when i am at in the cygwin command windows at cygdrive/c/android-kitchen-0.219/ and type "menu" ,nothing happens , just "comand not found" ,How do i start kitchen menu?

S7100 Working Root Exploit

Hey everyone,
After spending hours toiling through the different methods listed above (thanks to everyone for posting those), I've found a much simpler way to root the S7100, not sure about the other ones.
Go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
and download the Framaroot 1.6.1 .apk to you phone. Install it, and wham, rooted. Or at least thats how simple it was for me: Hope it works for anyone else trying to root.
Note: This root exploit also works on many other types of phones as the thread explains.
It doesn't install the recovery or anything, but it's certainly a start.
Specs about the phone:
Model Number: e1901_v77_jdt1_9p017_fwvga
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V15,2012/10/08 20:22
Build Number: e1901_v77_jdt1_9p017_fwvga_2013088

[Q] Help. I bricked my strange UG802 :(

Hi,
I have new UG802 bricked after a flash update.
If I connect the dongle at TV I see the image of "recovery system 4.2"
If I choose to update the firmware from a file does not work. Android gives me error and I can not go on as a photo 1, 2 and 3.
I tried to load the firmware Finless 18 with a single zip file that have system.img compressed.
I have see more post in this site with a procedure for unbrick with use a reset pin but in my PBC board don't have a reset as a youtube guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dlQkaDcgSY
Can you help me please?
Thanks

I would like to follow your advice but I can not update the device. Does not make me load a firmware of any kind. I would like some advice on how to make at least a firmware reload and restart it.

I will try my best to help you but am not that familiar with your device. Do you know if your phone was originally AAP_GEN1 or la_gen1 before you updated it ? It may be something as simple as renaming the package to z500_aap_gen1

How to root xoom 4.1.2

I just want to root my xoom 4.1.2. I am a newbie, and I have read many different guides, but I can not find a recovery for my model.
I was following a guide on the [HOW] Rookie Rooting, Flashing And UnRooting Under One Roof thread over at the xoom forums dot com.
and it says to download a recovery image that no longer exists! D. Download this recovery image(recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img) and place it in the "SDK_tools folder" at your PC C:drive: here
I can't find that file anywhere!! Is there another recovery image I can use in its place? Or do I have to follow a whole new set of instructions to root my xoom. Please help! I can't go buy another tablet right now, and apps and Google products have stopped working properly on my stock 4.1.2!
Thank you all in advance!

I have the same problem. I can not find this file. It seems as if the earth had swallowed it. If someone has it could you tell us where to find it?
Thank you

Here's a link to a copy of the recovery I happen to still have around. Just stumbled across this thread, since I came here in preparation for rolling my Xoom back to stock due to recent issues it's developed. It's hosted up on MediaFire, hopefully no one minds.

This is the discussion thread for firmware.mobi.
This site replaces my old central CF-Auto-Root repository, and aside from letting you create and download CFARs, also lets you download stock boot and recovery images for many firmwares and view all sorts of information about them.

Thanks.

Sir
If you want a great repository on the stock firmware of the various brands then you may refer to needrom.com which I think is according to me as a great repository of the stock firmwares and the boot images can be extracted from their.

I have attempted time and time again, even with your new site, but i cant get CF Auto Root to work on my Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) SM-J327T and my Galaxy J7 (2017) SM-J727T. They are both coming back with SECURE CHECK FAIL (RECOVERY). Others Methods i have tried failed for SECURE CHECK FAIL (Cache) which i was told meant Locked Bootloader. That being the case, why is Recovery failing on your root method.
If it is a Locked Bootloader on both devices, if there a way around this?
Thank you in advance!

This has already been explained to death. Chainfire even reiterates it on the new website.
Binaries, that includes recovery and boot images, that are not signed by Samsung CANNOT be flashed on a bootloader locked device, period.
No matter what the method.
Firmware.mobi doesn't add some new magic that can bypass bootloaders. It's simply an automated process.
It still stands that if your device has a locked bootloader it simply will not work.

Wow... Thanks for the hardwork.
Trying to generate for A9pro A910F 7.0 but failed. The only setting that i know for qualcom is to set cache image as ext4 type. After flash with odin internal storage corrupted. Need help for actual setting regarding the encryption.

Extract the ZIP, instructions inside...
It does install SuperSU.
Though you say 'flash this zip', which implies you have TWRP, in which case you can just flash the SuperSU ZIP and don't need CF-Auto-Root.

How big are the firmwares?
Can you put one of them on drive and link it to me so I can test if it has something to do with the firmware images itself?

Max upload size issue on the server. Should be fixed now. I uploaded the nvidia one, you can do the OP3 one
Still, it would be better to extract the boot and recovery images, then zip those up.
