I used the search function in Root Explorer, but found neither "OTA_Supersonic" or "update.zip"
It must be in one of those folders that need root to view (right now I'm stock no root) like /data or something

DO NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATE FOR NOW ...MORE LATER FROM Matt, Ozzeh,Joshua and zule...

There's an OTA update we just got on the #EVO that breaks the root. Don't install it if you want to root.

Well that sucks...

upload it so the devs can see whazzz up!

Here's a copy of the sprint hero ota that I got at the same time and it supposedly (not gonna test it) breaks root. I'm pretty sure it's really a super cool update to make are phones ten times better

Just got back home. Super glad I saw this thread. I had the guy at radioshack cancel the update when it came up (he had to turn phone on to complete activation, he said).
He mentioned that for the other 6 phones he did that morning, he let the update install

99% of the population is better off with the update due to the storage fix. Rooters are a tiny group of people, relatively speaking.

The guy at Sprint almost ran the update since they do have to turn the phone on to activate it, however since I didn't need anything else he just told me to make sure to update and told me how and even offered. I told him I'd get right on it as I go outside. But yea the OTA is probably best for most consumers buying this device (especially after the conversations that took place this morning) as just about everyone else there this morning just wanted to get the phone switching from various carriers from T-Mobile and ATT and just wanted it to work. There was like one other guy there who was pretty knowledgeable buying the phone outright like I was, but he claimed again he just wants the phone to work no jumping through hoops and knows about rooting but has no intentions to. The guy in charge was emphasizing to his staff to make sure to push the update. I just happened to luck out.

anyone got pre and post ota version numbers so I can confirm my unit hadn't been updated before handing it over? Thanks

I was running flipz stock got the notification last night at like 3am and updated. Not sure if it closed root access because I could still go into the recovery screen and navigate the menus to flash, wipe etc.

That sounds promising. Look at the rom version in the about section of settings. Does it end with a 1 or a 6?

are you able to type su thru adb shell or connectbot on the localhost after applying the OTA while stil using flipz stock with root ROM?

um i tested... OTA applied... Rooted, recovery, NAND backup... it all worked...USB debugging Enabled on plugin. Installed 64bit ADB drivers and boom!
no problem to fear the root loss
um crap... nvm apparently i didnt update...
i swear I downloaded, installed, restarted the phone to allow install... but it shows software number 1.32.651.1.
maybe because I did a factory reset? then that would mean that this update is rather a patch (ie like a cab fix)??
or did the update not apply?

Thanks,
It worked with my Huawei MediaPad M1 8.0 s8-301U and I have removed some bloatwares from the tab.
Now I wanted to remove a font folder and put a new one there, I don't know what is sopping me from doing that. Do you have any solution

Custom Recover Huawei Mediapad M1
how about installing custom recovery? do you know how? any links for custom recovery installation and custom rom flashing guide?

Sir, do you now how to flash Huawei Mediapad M1? do you have any guide or tools? thanks!

yes I've tried it, but it got some problems. it's like having partial root not full root!!
I were able to get apps work such as titanium backup and I got full root on them. But on other apps such as exposed model, I were not able to get the full root access and therefore I couldn't install exposed models on my device. you can try it yourself, nothing breaks everything is working fine.

i have bricked my m1s8 301L only minimal fastboot comands available, any ideas on how to restore. dload in sd card doesnt work, fastboot will flash recovery but allways sticks on the boot splash screen......

Hi,
Did you fix it?
If not try downloading the latest firmware update
on your PC to make sure its complete and try again.
The latest firmware wipes everything, so if your PC can see
Your data try adb pull .....directories..... first.
Good luck, BTW anyone managed to unlock boatloader ?

I have posted on other threads, however :
Did you fix this if so how, for other reasons I also have the same problem,
Any help on how you fixed this issue could be useful to all.

In order to flash an ota update you have to have the stock recovery among other things. You first problem is trying to ota with TWRP.

How do i get rid of TWRP in order to ota update?

Flash the stock recovery. If you've changed any system files, chances are that won't work either. In that case, either revert the changes you've made to whichever system files you've changed or start over and flash a RUU to get back completely to stock.
Also, if you've removed any of Verizon's bloat, it will fail. There's a lot of things like this that can make it fail. If you aren't sure what you've changed and can't put it back the way it was when stock, it's probably easiest to just RUU and get back to stock that way. You'll be starting all over again but it might be easier than trying to figure out what changes you've made that are giving you trouble.
Also, if you're running a custom rom, it will fail. You need to be stock for it to work. S-Off isn't a problem and I don't believe being rooted is either. But the OS itself pretty much needs to be stock.

Trust me when I say that I'm trying to be helpful. You need to do some reading.
You could flash a copy of the stock recovery the same way you flashed twrp and if you didn't modify you system files much/any then you may be able to take the ota after that. Another option would be to run the ruu that doddat posted in his very useful thread. Alternatively, you could just flash 4.4.4 firmware and a sense based rom.
Back to my first point. You are bordering on messing with some things that could seriously cripple your expensive phone and your questions imply that you don't quite know what you're doing. I would recommend you read read read. Read all the stickies in each of the Verizon m8 subforums. Read up on fastboot and adb. You should fully understand the command "fastboot flash <partition> <filename>". It's concerning to not know how to get rid of twrp when you or (worse yet) someone else have already flashed it once.
There are very smart and very helpful people here who will help you if you get into trouble but the responsibility is yours till try and avoid those situations by educating yourself first. Best of luck and happy flashing.

Do u still need help or you got it figured out?

Unlocking the bootloader WILL erase all data. I don't know if you could achieve root without a custom recovery but if you plan to flash a custom recovery you will need to unlock the bootloader.

While this tool worked for me, it didn't work well with step 2. It did flash the recovery but I had to manually reboot to recovery for it to work. Selecting yes/next to reboot to recovery after flashing it through the tool only took me to fastboot. That was the only thing I noticed but other than that, everything else worked perfectly. For clarification as well, I did it on newest firmware available right now (2.2.1).

The reboot option after the recovery flash is supposed to reboot you back to Android because the next step in the toolkit is to push SuperSU, which requires ADB.

Well in my case, it didn't do that either, mine ended up in fastboot. In any case it everything works as it should. thanks!

Worked flawless.
After flashing TWRP where it asks to reboot, it does reboot the tablet but the program seems to get stuck on "Rebooting......" even after the tablet have booted.
I tried waiting a min to see if it changed but I had to remove and attach the USB again before it realized it was connected and said "Move to step 3".
I'm happy though because anything that can be done smoother than ADB (even though it is really easy) is appreciated.

Wow, this looks super useful and easy. I was just thinking of rooting my shield again cause I'm sick of adds and just dropped in to see how things were progressing on the development side.
Glad I did now, might give this a whirl today

Edit: This is awesome! I was contemplating rooting my 2nd shield (after my first one blew up after 5 days) and have been putting it off for a while.
I'm used to rooting n'stuff so I don't find it to difficult but this just made things so much easier! I had it unlocked and rooted in a couple of minutes.
Big thank you for your effort and hard work.

I can't seem to get adb working. What do I need to do to get the program to recognize my shield tablet?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2

Ensure you have installed the drivers.

And don't forget to use an USB 2.0 port! USB 3.0 ports generally do not work.

Is there any way to do this with Ubuntu?

Thank you for this! It looks like an amazing tool, just what I was looking for. I had a Kindle Fire HD and it was a hell lot of trouble to install TWRP and flash roms, and when I saw my brand new shield had a hell of a process to get rooted in Lollipop the Kindle nightmare just flashed before my eyes (I had bricked it once so my heart practically stops every time an android device of mine reboots, in fear it won't turn on again). It's such a relief to see everything automated.
If you read what I had written there before (some questions about how to use the toolkit) never mind me, I found the instructions

i can't get this to work, it keeps saying OFFLINE. i installed everything it requested when I opened the .exe

Unlocked bootloader.
Installed Twrp.
But when i go to recovery mode on my lg watch r it STILL boots to the stock recovery???
Am i doing something wrong?

TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. We also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.
Team Win was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G. After our work on the EVO 4G we wanted to work on a project that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and we settled on working on a recovery. Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.
A custom recovery is used for installing custom software on your device. This custom software can include smaller modifications like rooting your device or even replacing the firmware of the device with a completely custom "ROM" like OmniROM

Just stick around and hopefully me or another SlimDesire Dev will get to it ASAP.

Wow only one person well 2 now hit the thanks button. Show your thanks people.
Thanks by the way dev

Appreciate the love Josh, but I've been in the Android game here on XDA since 2008 and know that not all things are appreciated. No worries, Captain_Throwback deserves all the thanks for this build anyways.

You good bro I've been here since around 2008 myself. My first phone was HTC mytouch 4g lol and uneven the first Android phone the G1 and so forth. I know the G1 was the was the first Android phone but I didn't hear about rooting until HTC mytouch 4g. Been doing it ever since, I even ported few roms like MIUI. Maybe soon I will be porting to this device.

Hope this is not considered as spamming threads. I just think this message is relevant to this thread in particular since is TWRP-related.
In case some of you can not load the TWRP image from the first post in this thread in your devices after flashing it, i recommend you try this another image also by Captain_Throwback. It worked with no problem on a HTC Desire 530 from Claro Chile, and maybe it will work on other versions.
Captain_Throwback said:
Alright, rebuilt TWRP with dtb separated (though that really shouldn't make a difference). If this one doesn't boot, I'll try using the dtb from the 3.0.2 TWRP, and if that still doesn't work, I'll just revert to the kernel/dtb from the original 3.0.2 release. I was hoping to be able to use the source-built kernel to patch the touch driver and clean up/fix some things, but that may not be possible. Unless this works, in which case, yay!

First of all I would like to thank anyone and everyone who has made phone rooting guides, they definitely help out!
Now my question, does anyone have the stock RUU: RUU_A16_UL_M60_DESIRE_SENSE70GP_TMUS_MetroPCS_US_1.36.1550.5_Radio_01.01_U113251531_68.01.61229G_release_495720_signed_2.exe
I cannot find this file anywhere, even the download link on HTC's website is broken. Unfortunately TWRP wont work on my Desire 530 because I upgraded my ROM to 1.36.1550.14. So I need to downgrade from what I've heard in order to get TWRP working, then I can install an S-OFF kernel and install Super-SU. Make sense to anyone?
I unlocked my bootloader and flashed TWRP to my recovery. When I reboot my phone into recovery I see the TWRP screen, then the phone reboots. I've tried clearing my cache partition, and that hasn't helped. I managed to do this by following directions for clearing cache partition on T-Mobile website with stock recovery image BTW. I also tried flashing several different versions of TWRP, some experimental builds by Capt Throwback, and some builds for other phones. I just can't get any relief.
Thanks in advance!
