Custom ROM for Panasonic Tab 8 - General Questions and Answers

I want a custom rom and how to root guide for panasonic tab 8 hd. There's an option to unlock bootloader in system settings. So it's easy to unlock it. I think I need to have microG as I have to use Whatsapp for my classes. I can provide you with the details of the device if required.

1. Activate USB debugging
2. Backup all your data.
3. Pull your boot.img and Vemata and save them in your external sdcard.
4. Install Magisk 22.1apk
5. Open it from home page and install the app.
6 now touch Magisk and chose force encryption.and enter
7. In popup dialogue tick selctand patch file and enter
8. Now chose the boot.img file you saved in the external sd card. Now the magisk will process it put the file in your internal sdcard in the download section.
9. Now save the magisk processed boot.ing on your desktop or in any folder and remember the location. It is advisable rename that with 2or 3 letters and paste it in th9/e ADB folder where you have installed the Platform files.
10. Now you open platform folder and open cmd inside the Platform tool. In the ensuing cmd window check for
adb devices.
Your device I'd will come to the next line. Then type
adb reboot bootloader
Now check
fastboot devices
your phone I'd will pop up.
Unlock bootloader:
Type fastboot flashing unlock
then click volume up bottom over.
Not you come again till the step 10.
Rooting process:
Now type
fastboot flash boot " the magisk processed, boot.img which you have renamed.
Now the patched boot.img will relace stock boot.img
Again come back and type
fast boot "-- disable-verification flash vbmeta " put your vbmeta file that earlier you have saved in the Platform folder.
that is all it is rooted.
please note that before starting the root activities you have to unlock your boot loader.
On your own you are doing. I take no responsibility.
by this process only I have rooted the phone. And with WWR MTK Tool and SPFT I have managed to get the stock firmware files. With native preloader. But flashing with this preloader needed patched boot.img file

Click to expand...

ok i can try to do it,but....
1.is it safe?
2.where can I find boot.img
3.is there a guide?
As i said i don't know if this is a generic boot.img or if it is or if it is brand or firmware specific you would need to do a bit of investigating to find out, What i can tell you is that this patch contain's supersu with a drm key fix(you know the key's stored in your bootloader) incorporated in it i have successfully used it on a sony m5(e5603).
The choice is your's whether to try it or not.
If you choose to use it here is a quick guide..
1.Download this file here
2.connect your phone to your pc make sure usb debugging is swiched on
3.put the boot.img file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot.exe files are
4.Rename it to boot.img to simplify thing's
5.Right click on an empty space inside your adb fastboot folder and select open command window here
6.When your command window opens input this command adb devices you should now see your phone's serial number
7.Once your phone is connected in command prompt write adb reboot bootloader
8.Once your phone is in bootloader mode then in command prompt write fastboot devices you should now see your device serial number
9.In command prompt write this command fastboot flash boot boot.img then press return and wait till process finishes (any problem's remember to rename the .img file to boot.img or alter the command in command prompt)
10.In command prompt write this command fastboot reboot ( or just restart your phone normally)
If successful when your phone has started you should now have the supersu app installed and phone rooted with the drm key's fix working(if you saved your drm key's before unlocking your bootloader you can safely copy them back at this point)
Obviously i can't be held responsible for any damage done Yahda,Yahda,Yada ect.
Make sure OEM unlock is at the switched on position before the next reboot (it should already be switched on)
We are all big boy's and girl's and as such we make decisions all by our selves including whether to follow this guide or not
Use this guide for educational purposes only.
Good luck...

I tried this method but it did not work, fortunately I had the file boot.img stock and I restored it, thanks anyway for the guide at this point I'll wait to find the twrp file edited for my device or that will add the root on some kind of apps (kingoroot, kingroot, oniclick ....)

[Guide] Root Xgody Y28 with Magisk (MT6580) and dump stock rom

I am making the following guide because root guides for the Xgody phones are pretty hard to come by, and documentation is sparse. Enjoy.
First, you will need to setup adb and fastboot on your pc. Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot here. If your PC doesn't find drivers for "adb interface", download MTK adb drivers here, and install it by updating the driver for adb interface in device manager.
Now you will need to boot up your phone, go to about phone -> build number -> tap seven times. Head back to settings home, go to dev options, and enable usb debugging, then connect phone to pc. Open minimal adb and fastboot, and verify that the phone is connected by running "adb devices" command. If you see unauthorized next to the phone's serial, then you need to allow access on your phone in the window that has popped up.
Next step is to unlock the bootloader, so that the phone boots with the Magisk patched boot image we will be flashing later on. In developer options, you will now need to check "oem unlocking". Now in adb, type "adb reboot bootloader". Screen should go black, and "fastboot mode" text should appear on screen. Quick Note - Only boot to fastboot using this method. Shutting down the phone by selecting power off in the power menu and then holding the key combo to get into fastboot will cause the oem unlocking switch to flip back to off, and the next step will fail. Thus, make sure to use the adb command to reboot to fastboot mode. Don't know why this is, but it seems to be some sort of lousy anti-unlock protection by the Chinese devs.
Now in fastboot mode, type "fastboot devices" on your PC. you should see the device serial and "fastboot" next to it. If you do not, check device manager again. If you see an unknown device such as "Android" you will need to again install the driver through device manager. However, this time select "bootloader interface", as you are installing for fastboot mode.
Once you see the device in fastboot, you can proceed to unlock the bootloader. Type "fastboot oem unlock". Check the phone, and accept the warning about unlocking bootloader. Now the command should finish and bootloader should be unlocked. Reboot to system with "fastboot reboot". You will see "erasing" as the phone resets, and then it will boot into Android.
Now you are ready to grab your boot.img. We will need to patch this file with Magisk to obtain root access. To obtain the boot.img, you will need to make a full backup of your phone's rom using SP Flash Tool. A detailed guide here is available to guide you through the process. You can grab the VCOM driver and sp flash tool at https://spflashtool.com/. To follow the above guide, you will need to know the cpu and flash memory type. If you didn't know already, the Xgody Y28 is running on an MT6580 and uses EMMC memory.
You can also obtain a copy of the stock rom here - https://mega.nz/#!6vB0gKSK!RJ9SZ3q-Zp33ZYMjTk42A7cgeubvq-W2C4G7Ln4y8Bo However, I recommend making a backup of your own stock rom instead, as that is the safest option. The rom here may differ slightly differ from your phone's and cause issues. Unlikely, but still a good idea to use your own backup.
Either way, you now have a backup of the Y28's stock rom. We now need the boot.img. Connect your phone to your pc, and on the phone, select media device (MTP). This will allow you to copy files to the phone from your pc. Find your boot.img, and copy it to your phone. It doesn't matter where, just put it in an easy to reach location in your internal storage. Next, you will also need to copy over the Magisk Manager apk to your phone. Download it here. Click on "Latest Magisk Manager". Save the apk, and then copy it to your phone as well.
Next on your phone, open your file manager. Find the Magisk Manager apk, and install it. Note that the next part requires you have an internet connection, as Magisk Manager needs to connect to github to download the magisk zip to patch your boot.img with.
Now open the Magisk Manager you just installed. hit install, and select patch. Find your boot.img and select it. After the process is complete, exit Magisk Manager, and find the magisk-patched.img on your phone that magisk created.
Connect your phone to pc again, and copy the patched boot image to your pc. On your PC, navigate to the folder containing your stock rom, and rename boot.img to boot-original.img. Now, copy the magisk-patched.img to the stock rom folder. Rename magisk-patched.img to boot.img.
Next you will need SP Flash Tool. open it up, and select the android-mt6580-scatter.txt in the scatter-loading file. A list of flashable partitions will load once the scatter file is processed. Uncheck all except the boot.img (as this is the only one we want flashed) Now hit download, and connect your phone to your pc. Make sure the phone is turned off, and the battery is removed before connecting to PC. The SP Flash Tool will then flash the boot.img to the phone. Once complete, you can close the program, and unplug your phone.
Boot your phone back up, and open up Magisk Manager. It should now say Magisk is installed.
Congratulations! If you have successfully followed the steps above, you now have a rooted phone.

RCA Voyager III (RCT6973W43MD) Root Using Magisk_Manager and Stock Boot Image

First I want to say that I'm not a developer nor in any way an expert and I'm sure that will be apparent as you read my post. I was able to root my Voyager III tablet by reading and following the work of people like diplomatic and topjohnwu, and using the products of their work. I looked everywhere for a specific root method for this little tablet but could never find one. The fact is there has always been a method since topjohnwu's Magisk_Manager's ability to patch stock boot images and re-pack them for use in your specific MTK-based phone or tablet. It just hasn't been obvious that the RCT6973W43MD Android 7.0 was a candidate for that root process...at least not to me. In any case, this is what I did to achieve root. But first...
**Do these steps at your own risk. They worked for me but I won't be responsible for any damage you do to your phone or tablet**
Unlock Bootloader
1. In your tablet, enable Developer Options by going to Settings> About Tablet> Build number. Press "Build number" 7 times to reveal "Developer options." Press Back button to see and enter "Developer options." Enable "OEM Unlock." While you're there, enable "USB Debugging," disable "Automatic system updates" and "Verify apps over USB." Also make sure "Install Apps from Unknown Sources" is enabled.
2. Using adb, after your device is recognized, type:
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot flash oem unlock
fastboot reboot
Your bootloader should now be unlocked. On your boot screen it will say, "Orange State." (never try to re-lock the bootloader because that will put your device into "red state" which is very bad. You've been warned!)
Extract Your Tablet's Boot.img file using MTK-su
1. You need the boot.img file of your specific ROM to allow Magisk_Manager to patch it...in order that Magisk may be installed as superuser. What better place to get that file than your own device? Use diplomatic's MTK-su exploit to gain temporary superuser access to your tablet's root file system. Your boot.img file can be found in /dev.
2. Still superuser under MTK-su, copy the boot.img file to your sd card in at least two locations. The reason for this is to make sure you can easily find it later when you've left MTK-su's root shell. Something like this should work...
cd /dev
cp bootimg /storage/emulated/0
cp bootimg /storage/emulated/0/Download
**Note** In /dev your boot.img file is named "bootimg". When you copy (paste) it to your sd card it will appear as "boot.img".
Patch Your Tablet's Boot.img file with Magisk_Manager
1. Download Magisk_Manager v7.5.1 apk and install on your tablet. Patch your boot.img file. Press Install . Install> "Select and Patch a file". Navigate to your boot.img file and select it. Wait a few seconds for the patching to start and note the location of the newly patched boot image named magisk_patched.img. Flashing this personalized boot image will allow you to install Magisk v20.4.
2. Now using adb and MTK-su again, start a root shell and find the magisk_patched.img file and copy it also in at least two places to make it easy to find and later transfer to your desktop. My experience was that I copied it to my sd card but couldn't find it when i left the root shell and tried to get it onto my desktop. The point is that you want the file in a directory that your desktop file manager can access. I'm a noob so I made a few copies of it.
At this point it might also be a good idea to review topjohnwu's Magisk boot-patching thread here to glean any information that may apply to the Voyager 3, although that tablet is not mentioned by name
3. On your computer using adb fastboot:
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
4. Download Magisk.20.4.zip and install it from your tablet's recovery or via adb. You should now be rooted and the Manager app should show both Magisk_Manager and Magisk superuser installed. I know there's probably easier ways to do this, and lots of shortcuts, but this is what worked for me.

I know the above is not as clear as I would like to make it, and I invite others to refine the method so that people can easily follow it. But the fact is that it works. I've duplicated it after mistakenly factory-resetting my device. I tested it using Fx File Explorer which now has been granted superuser powers. I'll post photos soon to prove root status. Again please feel free to add to, detract from, or in any way help to make my explanation more accurate and concise. Of course all credit goes to the guys who made the tools I used, @topjohnwu and @diplomatic.
The overall thrust of what I've tried to describe is 1) patch your own boot.img file with Magisk_Manager and flash it to your bootloader and 2) load Magisk superuser app in the now friendlier boot environment to obtain root. That's it.
I've been doing taxes lately...years of taxes, but I finally read up on posting images so here. Not exactly like I wanted them to post, but it does the job.
Also it is very important that you do not upgrade MagiskSU within MagiskManager. Flash any updates through your recovery. If by chance you try updating through MagiskManager your root will be gone and if in bootloop you will have to wipe device and start again with the step of extracting your boot.img.
Also, remember to check which processor your tablet has before you try modifying it. RCA came out with many, many confusingly similar part numbers. Only some of them have MTK processors with others being (at the very least) Intel or Rockchip.
