Hello, first of all I apologize for my English if you don't understand me somewhere, I'm learning English. Greetings from Peru.
Files and programs you need to downloadTHIS PROCESS WORKS WITH ALMOST ALL DEVICES, ONLY IF THEY HAVE THE BOOTLOADER CORRECTLY UNLOCKED WITHOUT THE NEED OF A TWRP.
In the computer1- Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant, will help you in 2 things: In case your device is frozen or in a loop, there you can recover it and right there you can find and download the ROM of your device for free.
As you can see in this image my device is already selected and the ROM is already downloaded (just follow the steps and your device will be fine again)

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here you will find the ROM
as you can see, location, folder and files of the ROM (it is necessary that you know where it is since you will need some files later)
2-You need to have ADB/FASTBOOT installed to be able to install the ROOT (remember that this is the safe way, there is no risk of your device freezing or in a loop, but everything is possible).
Link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/
on device1- First of all, you have to have the bootloader unlocked, here I leave the guide since it is somewhat long to read
Link : https://www.mobilewithdrivers.com/download/unlock-bootloader/lenovo-tab-m10-fhd-plus-tb-x606f
2- After unlocking the bootloader, you have to have Magisk.apk installed on your device
Link : https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
3- After installing Magisk, on the main screen you have to see if Ramdisk is "yes" or "no".
It says "si" because my native language is Spanish.
4- Go back to the computer and in the ROM folder you have to find the file "boot.img" and copy it to your device
5- within Magisk where it says "install", they give it to install and something similar to this will come out:
6- They only give the following next "siguiente " and select the option of Select file "seleccionar y parchar un archivo" (I repeat again ignore if it comes out in Spanish, you in English)
7- from there the explorer will open and they will look for where they copied the "boot.img" and select it.
Once the selector is given to start or let's start "comencemos"
the process has to be something similar to the image that I will post below, you can several certain lines but at the end it has to say "done!" without any error.
8- Now to finish the process on your device, copy the file that appears in your magisk "the patched file". Copy and paste it into the ADB/FASTBOOT folder
we return to the computer
1- First of all, you have to enable "usb debugging" on your device
Link : https://www.embarcadero.com/starthe...bling_usb_debugging_on_an_android_device.html
2- Now go to your ADB/FASTBOOT folder and in a blank part open "powershell",
Now go to your ADB/FASTBOOT folder and in a blank part open "powershell" .
Holding SHIFT and right clicking open POWERSHELL
now they write "cmd" without quotes so that inside PowerShell you can use it as cmd
3- Here I will explain it in a long but correct way without errors, do not turn off the computer and leave it on since you will write an ADB command to order the device to enter Fastboot mode.
By typing "adb devices" you will find out if the drivers are correctly installed and your computer, cmd and adb/fastboot should recognize it.
now type "adb reboot-bootloader" , this will command your device to reboot into "bootloader" mode
Now this part is important that you pay attention as some people make mistakes.
Once your device has rebooted and you get to the "fastboot mode" screen, you will type the following in powershell :
fastboot devices
If the following appears, it is because your computer detects your device in fastboot mode.
Now comes almost the end of this guide, to install root do the following.
To root your device they usually tell you to type the following "fastboot flash boot boot.img", but sometimes there are errors.
what you will do is the following :
once you have written the following
you are going to drag the "magisk patches" file to the poweshell
and you will have to leave the path where the saved file is (this is a safe way so that you do not get errors)
now you just hit "enter" and it will be installed on your device
Now to finish, restart the device, install "root checker" and you will realize that you have it activated.
attached image of my device "Tab M10 FHD 2nd TB-x606x" with the latest ROM installed, having ROOT, MAGISK and modules installed
THIS PROCESS WORKS WITH ALMOST ALL DEVICES, ONLY IF THEY HAVE THE BOOTLOADER CORRECTLY UNLOCKED WITHOUT THE NEED OF A TWRP.
If the guide helped you, please comment, if it didn't work for you, please comment as I will try to help you solve the problem.
Currently I will not be contributing more to the community since I do not have my own computer, the computer I use will only be there for a few days, after that they will take it away.
when I have a new computer, I will be sharing RecoveryTWRP for some devices modified by me or some other help that I am able to carry out and finish as a project.
I thank XDA for creating this space to help, guide and for everyone to learn in the process.
I send you greetings from Peru.
Nice, thank you very much, sir.

ok, thanks of course
but let me tell you I'm a very stubid person
you know? the root couldnt do it without the video on Youtube
so can you please give me the steps one by one, like how can i install twrp??
i relly don't know that much, but i would be pleased if you help me, thank you anyway
1. download kfu http://random.kennocha.com/kindle/utility/Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.2.zip
2. extract to c:\ and rename "kindle fire utility" to "kfu" that it is "c:\fku"
3. download http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
4. move it to c:\kfu\tools"
5. open a (elevated command prompt) and enter "cd c:\kfu\tools"
6. enter "fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img" - leave command prompt open - need it later
7. tap reboot on the kf - it should reboot to twrp
8. download http://www.multiupload.com/VUAPS24569
9. rename downloaded file to "update.zip"
10. copy update.zip to sdcard
11. in twrp on the kf tap install - select update.zip and install
12. if it finished tap clear dalvik/cache on the same site
13. in your command prompt type: adb shell "idme bootmode 4000"
14. and then type: adb reboot
that's it - if you have got no errors to this point it should reboot - it takes some time for the first boot
good luck !
Thank You Again I Know I'm like Pain in the Ass, but you are amazing.
So, Now I'm at TWR, I did All the 10 steps successfully but still My PC couldn't find My Kindle Fire So I can copy update.zip to sdcard
Is there A Soultion you have for this problem?
becuase I think my problem will be kind of easy after this step, right?
Of Course many thanks to you, relly man you are a lifesaver
I Love You
PS : when i adapt the kf with my pc and go to Devises and printers
it goes under "unspecified" and the name "Unknown Device"
not like the others the name is "kindle fire".
I'don't know relly what the mistake that I made but I'm sure I did one because
before the name was Kindle fire not unknown
and thanks again anda again and again
it's a driver issue right now
- right click the unknown device and select update driver
- select don't search and have disk
- direct it to c:\kfu\drivers\kindle
if your on win7 this might be helpful too:

Sorry for being late, but i had a problem with the internet conection
So...
My PC OS is Windows 7 64-bit
i did what wrote on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21720811&postcount=41
but it dosen't really helpful, in fact it was somehow, let me tell you what i got now
Now, My Pc Recognized my Kindle, and when I go to devices and printers I had this "http://i.imgur.com/q8SCu.png"
but when I go to My Computer, I found nothing !!
there is no Driver for the device.
So... is there any solution to this problem?
when you are in twrp you should tap on mount and mount the sdcard
then it should show up on your computer
you should use device manager to look at the devices and see what's going on
what i see on your picture is not the device manager
Ok, this is photo from my device manger

also try to press the power button repeatedly but nothing happen
try to issue:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5001
if the command says <waiting for device> then power it down by holding pwr ~20sec - unplug and replug - but don't power it on - does it by itself
the kf should pickup the command at some point and the command finishes
No Way!!
Now I'm really like this
really I don't think that my kindle will be back after what I did
but you man?? Unbelievable, you are amazing, you are Genius
Thank you so much, so much.
Now People I have My Kindle Back, wow!
That's really Unbelievable.
and you sir, you are fantastic!
thank you again, and good night "it's night where I live"
I just rooted my Nexus 4 using Ubuntu 12.04.
The instructions I found weren't quite what I'd liked them to be, none of them were for Linux and I had to do quite a bit of trial and error.
I know that a few years ago I wouldn't have been able to do it with those instructions.
So I thought I'd write down what I did so others can do it easier and faster than me.
To be able to easily understand this guide you need to know the basics about using a terminal, but other than that I'm trying to not to require the reader to know anything.
If you use another Linux distro everything should work pretty much exactly the same, but for the additional packages I had to install, but their name should be easy to guess because they are usually similar across distributions and how you install them should be explained in the documentation of your distro.
Connect your Nexus 4 to your computer using an USB cable.
First I downloaded the ADT Bundle from there developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and unpacked it into a new folder. Doesn't matter where, I'll use ~/androidSDK in those instructions. The tools which you need to root your phone are ~/androidSDK/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130514/sdk/platform-tools/adb and ~/androidSDK/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130514/sdk/platform-tools/fastboot
"x86" means I downloaded the 32bit version and "20130514" is the date of when the version I'm using was published, that will most likely be different for other people.
Now most likely adb and fastboot won't run yet (if you run them it will tell you something like "~/androidSDK/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130514/sdk/platform-tools/adb: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"). To fix this you need to install the packages "lib32ncurses5" and "lib32stdc++6". You can run the following command to do that:
Code:
sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6
(got that from there: stackoverflow.com/questions/10005907/eclipse-android-plugin-libncurses-so-5)
For adb to work you also need to activate USB debugging: Go to Settings->About phone and tap "Build Number" until it says you are developer. Then a new entry will appear in "Settings", called "{ } Developer options". Check the box next to "USB debugging", confirm with ok.
Now you need to backup everything on your Nexus 4 because it will be wiped while rooting. You can do this by running:
Code:
cd ~/androidSDK/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130514/sdk/platform-tools
(in the future I'll assume you stayed inside that directory)
Code:
./adb backup -apk -shared -all -system
Before this command can finish you need to confirm on your Nexus 4 that it's okay to do that backup (just do what it says on it's screen).
This will put a file named backup.ab in the current directory. You can change the name and location of that file using the -f paramter, if you want.
Run
Code:
./adb reboot bootloader
to boot into the bootloader. After a moment the Nexus 4 should display something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(image stolen from reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-google-nexus-4-50010361/)
Now the actual unlocking happens: Enter
Code:
sudo ./fastboot oem unlock
Maybe try without sudo first (just leave it out), but it only worked with sudo for me; without sudo it displayed "waiting for device" forever and I needed to abort with Ctrl+C.
Download SuperSU from there http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu (at the moment "CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip").
Put that file on your Nexus 4 any way you want, one possible way is to do:
Code:
./adb push ~/CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip /sdcard/
That assumes you downloaded SuperSU to your home directory. For that to work you need to activate USB debugging again (it was deactivated during unlocking).
Download the Nexus 4 "Touch Recovery" from www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager.
I guess you shouldn't need the touch version, but it's more comfortable for sure. When I downloaded it the file was named "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-mako.img" and that's what I'm going to use when I give you commands to run.
This "Touch Recovery" needs to be installed to the Nexus 4. To do this first boot into the bootloader again:
Code:
./adb reboot bootloader
And then flash the file using the fastboot utility:
Code:
sudo ./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-mako.img
(if it needed sudo the last time it will need it again, if not, not)
Now go to the recovery mode (use volume buttons to navigate and power to confirm).
Tap "install zip from sdcard"
Tap "choose zip from sdcard"
Tap "0/"
Find the SuperSU .zip file you put on the phone earlier (tip: scrolling works as usual by swiping or if you want with the volume buttons) and tap on it.
Confirm that you really want to install it.
Boot into Android again and restore the backup you made earlier (if you made one).
Code:
./adb restore backup.ab
You need to confirm that command on the Nexus 4.
As you are now finished you can of course disconnect your Nexus 4 from your computer.
You should be finished now. Unless I remembered something wrongly when writing this because I mostly wrote this from memory, after rooting my Nexus 4. If something doesn't work as I claim then please tell me and I'll fix it (possibly eventually).
I myself followed those instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018179 as far as possible and then googled what didn't work or just tried around for a bit.
Edit: As of now (18.8.14), those instructions should still work.
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANTHING GOES WRONG USING THIS METHOD!!! IT'S ONLY ONE THAT WORKED FOR ME, SO I'M JUST SHARING IT FROM MY EXPERIENCE! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Hi everyone!
So, i was looking for root my new I8200N. Only way to do it is with VRoot/iRoot chinese application, but it installs Kinguser instead of SuperSu or Superuser. In my experience it's like half root coz many apps doesn't fully work with it. I tried everything i could find but nothing worked. I finally found solution so if you have troubles, here we go:
All requirements in attachment, just unrar it!
1. Install SAMSUNG USB Drivers (Recommended reboot!)
2. On AD (Android Device) go to | Settings > More > About | then press about 10 times on version number to unlock developer features. See at screenshot.
Then go back and enter developer settings. Check USB debugging, OK.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Connect your AD with USB to PC and finish driver installation if needed in Device Manager.
4. Install VRoot and open it
Between this two, mobile will ask something with long address. Just check remember for this PC or something like that and Allow/OK.. And for white windows, go to Deny or something like that. It's something about Google Play...
On PC press "Root" when becomes available.
Just wait a minute and phone will reboot and it should be rooted. It should be like this:
Optional: You can delete chinese apps that comes installed, you just need "Kinguser".
5. Settings > More > Security | check "Unknown Sources" and OK.
6. Copy Lucky Patcher to AD and install it. Open it and when Kinguser ask for permission, go to Allow. Update if available.
7. In Lucky Patcher go to | Toolbox > Patch to Android > Check:
- Signature Verification status always True
- Disable .apk Signature Verification
- Disable Signature verification in the package manager
Apply
AD will reboot, if not then reboot after it finished.
8. Copy "kinguser.apk" from attachment to AD and install it. Open it and when asks you for update, CANCEL it!
9. Unrar "mrw" from attachment and whole folder copy to AD. I found easier paste it in device than SDcard coz of address we'll gonna need later.
10. Install Terminal from Google Play. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
11. Open Terminal, type "su" (without quotes) and press enter. When promted for root access, Authorize/Allow it.
12. Now type "sh /storage/emulated/0/mrw/root.sh" (Without quotes). I pasted mrw folder in root of AD, so address is like that one in quotes. You can put it somewhere else, just type correct address. Then press enter. If any error or something comes up, just go for OK or what ever you got and don't worry it's normal. After few seconds, you will be promted for root access from SuperSU, Allow it!
Phone will reboot. Update SuperSU binary and app if needed.
Congratz! You are rooted with SuperSU!
I successfully rooted 2 devices with this method.
Happy rooting!
Just to highlight issues with this, vroot will install apps on your pc without you knowing even after uninstalling.
Also you can completely remove kingroot and replace with supersu by using another mod found on this forum.
You will need an app to mount system as read writable on boot. See the playstore.
Sent from a stolen phone!
That was the only way i could found that really works for me. Days i've been searching for root and this is only i could get working.
OK, I just did another rescue script, it's using the files from the final release but it will install them one at a time using your computer instead of trying to install the rom.
THIS GUIDE IS FOR WINDOWS ONLY!
If someone else wants to convert it for Linux/OSX feel free but please make a new thread with a similar format to the title as this one but with [Linux/OSX]
Bear in mind this script will also install the compatible TWRP version 3.0.2.0 which will work with the final OOS3 and also with the new codebase in CM13 unless you sideload the complete rom in which case that will install the default OnePlus recovery. You can always install TWRP using the files within after this anyway
Anyone who wants to give it a go can download it at the link below, remember IT'S NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP, it's the files packaged into a zip.
Download here from Android FileHost : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24580943222146240
Carry out the following instructions as I have entered them.
Unpack the zip file into a folder, possibly on your desktop so you can see all the files easily.
Reboot your phone into fastboot mode by holding down the VOLUME UP button while holding the POWER button until you see fastboot mode show, obviously make sure you have connected the phone to your computer via usb cable.
If you have not unlocked your phone then immediately go watch the video below to find out how to do so then come back and continue the instructions from step 4.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZaajUEybNM
Open an elevated prompt window in the folder you unpacked the zip into (elevated means it has administrator privileges), to do this, right click in the folder (not on a file) while holding the SHIFT key, then choose "Open command window here", see below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You may be prompted to allow admin privileges, say yes.
In the command window you opened type the following:
fastboot devices
You should then see something similar to the screenshot below:
If you don't see a number followed by fastboot then you need to install or re-install your drivers. (I've uploaded the latest version to Android FileHost here : Download, remember to restart the computer before proceeding)
If you do see something similar to the above, then type the following into the command window:
fixoos
Then press enter, now adb will flash the different new versions of the partitions needed to either install the rom or reboot into the new version of TWRP.
It should look like this (I've shrunk the text to try to fit it all in) :
The last 2 steps in the script are going to flash the new compatible TWRP as your recovery partition and then it will also reboot into that version of TWRP.
All of this presumes that you were able to copy whichever rom you want to install onto your phone.
If you did not copy the rom onto your phone then download it the link below :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24580917854994435
Copy the file into the same folder as the rest of the files and then run the following in the command window :
adb sideload OnePlus2Oxygen_14_OTA_019_all_1606041303.zip
(If you start typing the filename and press TAB it should autocomplete the name as long as the zip file is in the same folder as you opened the command window in)
Now press enter and ADB should install the full release rom itself, bear in mind, this will NOT include the new TWRP as TWRP is not a part of the default rom.
Please post any problems you have below, however, as long as you follow the instructions properly you should be ok.

3. Enable USB Debugging from Settings -> Developer Options;
4. Download the ADB from the link above, and extract everything inside the archive to C:\ADB (create a new folder);
5. Connect your USB cable from your phone to your PC - if you get an access request on your phone from your PC's fingerprint, accept it;
6. Open a Command Prompt and type: cd C:\ADB
7. Type adb devices in the command prompt to confirm that it detects your phone; you should get something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8. Now open FlashFire on your phone and grant it root access;
9. Tap on the plus sign and tap on Backup:
10. Select Full - All Partitions:
11. On this screen, DO NOT select the partitions that have "(protected bootloader partition)" or "(protected partition)" under them; they might cause the restore process to be unstable:
(TIP: There are more partitions if you scroll down on the list of partitions. Just be careful not to select the protected one. Everything else, select.)
12. After that tap on the V button at the top right of the window, and now just scroll to the bottom of the page and tap on FLASH:
13. Your phone is going to reboot now. DO NOT intrerrupt this process, and DO NOT disconnect the USB cable.
14. Once your phone has rebooted, a list of files will start to load, and you will see FlashFire at the top of the screen. On the bottom, the last line should be this:
Start: adb backup go -f filename.zip
This means that FlashFire is waiting for your input from the Command Prompt on your PC.
15. If you see that line, then go on your PC, go into the Command Prompt and type the following command to start the backup process:
adb backup go -f backup.zip
16. Press Enter and the backup process will start on your phone. Wait until it is complete. Your phone will reboot when it's done.
And that's it!
You should have a Backup.zip file in your C:/ADB folder. The size of the file depends on how much data you have on your phone.
Congrats; You have created a full backup of your phone.
Below is a tutorial on how to restore the backup that you have just created.
1. Open ADB on your PC and verify if your device is detected, as I've explained above;
2. Open FlashFire, tap on the plus sign and tap on Restore:
3. On the window that opened select Restore from ADB:
4. Select all the partitions (except the protected partitions) (there are more if you scroll down), and then tap on the V sign at the top right:
5. Tap on the FLASH button and wait for your phone to reboot:
6. Once it's rebooted to that screen with two lines, you should see something like this:
7. Now type the following command into the Command Prompt on your PC:
adb push backup.zip /restore
8. Press Enter and wait for the restore process to finish. Your phone will reboot and hopefully everything is how it should have been when you backed up the phone.
And that's it! You're done restoring the backup.
I hope this guide has helped you; if it did hit the "Thanks!" button at the bottom right of this post, more guides about rooting the J7 and unbricking it available now..
And again, this is my first legit post on this site, so I'm sorry if something is wrong. Please leave constructive criticism, and don't be immature if you have a problem. Thanks
