rooting galaxy tab 10.1v (working)

hi, this is how i managed to get root working on my tab, everything went fine for me till it came to booting into recovery then nothing use to happen so i combined two separate guides to get it working. thanks (bcmobile and 411tecknology)
the command in "(getting root 5) )" worked for me as i was getting stuck with "fastboot flash recovery skitzandroid-recovery.img"
i unlocked the bootloader by firmware upgrade the the following
for all those people like me with no experience in dos commands or linux, hope this works for you​
PREPARE:
1) With your Tab in fastboot mode (step 1 of “GETTING ROOT” below), make sure you have a working fastboot implementation:
working dir\\fastboot devices
If all is well, you should see your device serial number. If there is a problem, you won’t get any response.
2) Downlad the two files attached to this thread
3) create a folder in drive c naming it "root"
This will be referred to as the working directory throughout the rest of this guide
4) Copy skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip to your working directory (DO NOT UNZIP!) c: root
5) Extract the skitzandroid-recovery.img file from skitzandroid-stock-recovery.zip to your working folder. Your working folder( c: root) should now have 1 IMG file and one ZIP file.
6) copy fastboot files to the the folder that you are going to use as working dir ( c:root)
7) Copy the skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip file to the root of your sdcard. You can eithe drag/drop, or run:
working dir or c:\root>adb push skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip /sdcard
GETTING ROOT:
1) Power off your Tab and power it back on, while holding the VOLUME DOWN button.
2) When the DOWNLOAD / FASTBOOT icons appear, press VOLUME DOWN again to select FASTBOOT icon (the one with the USB logo) and press VOLUME UP to confirm selection.
3) Confirm you are now in fastboot mode and do a:
fastboot devices
If all is well, you should see your device serial number.
4) Open a terminal / CMD prompt and CD to your working folder
keep doing cd.. until you get to "c:>" then
cd/root
5) Run the following command:
c:\root> fastboot boot skitzandroid-recovery.img
..and wait. It might not look like anything is happening but it is.
6) You should now have a recovery menu. Use the volume rocker (up/down navigates menu options)
to select “Install zip from SDCARD” (or something like that)
7) Navigate to the root of your internal storage (/sdcard), select the skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip file and press (tap!) the POWER button to confirm selection.
Once complete, use the Volume rocker to select “REBOOT” from the menu and press (tap!!!) the POWER button to confirm selection.
9) YOUR’RE DONE. Press the thanks button on this thread to continue
TESTING:
Check your apps menu to confirm the existence of SuperUser app.

whats wrong with this?

Nothing!
I used it on UNLOCKED 10.1v (not from Vodafone) and had no data loss!
Great, Thanks

I do not understand: 3) Confirm you are now in fastboot mode and do a:
fastboot devices
If all is well, you should see your device serial number.
Where do I enter this data?
I mean - fastboot deviсes

once you start your device in fastboot mode and connect it with the computer to make sure your device is recognized by the computer you open command prompt take it to your working dir.. (ie. c:>root) in our case type fastboot devices and hit enter, if your computer recognized your device you will the serial number under it.

im sorry> can you help me?
When i write in the command line "fastboot.exe devices" nothing happens....

assuming you have installed sdk if not please do so, then staying in sdk go to
(C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools ) by clicking your mouse in desktop
(not cmd prompt). above eg.. is how i installed sdk on my desktop yours may be different, now in platform-tools you will see two files called fastboot copy them both to to your folder called ..root.. and you are set to go.
bottom line is if you want to start fastboot from any folder in cmd you have to have these two files in the folder.
also if you know that your device is detected by your computer dont worry about step 3. all it does is tell you that your device is connected.

I have all turned out, the problem was the drivers. I copied the driver from pdanet and it worked!

You need the drivers installed for fastboot, have you installed them? Please have a look at the [Guide] Unlock your bootloader thread. it contains all the details to get fastboot working.

thank you...finally did it
another noob question...how do i enter in cwm for installing another ROM ???

The easiest way if you are rooted is to install rom manager from the market. It has an option to reboot to recovery if you have CWM installed. It also allows you to update to the latest CWM recovery if there is one.

i've tried putting the TB Galaxy 1.0.9: Honeycomb 3.1 + TouchWiz UX and i made a mistake... in cwm i've uploaded the zip file only with the update and not the rom itself.since then the tab won't start...it stop's in the beggining at the "samsung galaxy tab 10.1v"...any ideea...what can i do ?

Download latest rom and instructions from samfirmware.com using odin Get ur tab into fastboot mode with 3 button recovery and start from scratch.
It should work out

Do the following. If you have not yet odin.
Download the full rom.
Follow instructions in how to get into fasboot in sticky thread.
Once in fastboot you can load recovery via it, to do that download the recovery from droidbasement.com/blog, search on pershoot's website for recovery 4.0.4 if i remember correctly then type
fastboot boot recovery.img
where recovery.img is the name of the file you downloaded from droidbasement.com
Recovery will then load give it a minute or so.
Once loaded you can push the downloaded full rom via adb. That is part of the android sdk.
Like this: adb push romfile.zip /data/media/ (this will take a few minutes)
Then in cwm instal rom.
I hope it helps. Btw, remember you need to flash the wipe script of the rom before you install the rom if you are comming from stock.

10x everybody it worked!!!!!!!!

Still me, posting in yet another thread. Still can't get the proper drivers. Pda method is not working. Which version of PDanet should I use ? The latest ? This is ****ing irritating...
I'm used to have to struggle to get things work at the beginning, but with my Magic and Hd2 it was a matter of hours...not weeks ! I'm sure it's something stupid but everybody deserted these guides topics...
I'm actually considering posting in the Dev section just to get attention...
Also, pershoot blog's advices are a joke : with no tags, a not working search field, no categories, try to find an info ! Knowing that the word "Recovery" will pop about 3 times per subject, I'm good to spend the week-end searching...

Hello,
I have been successful with rooting on win7. With win xp - after a few day struggling - fastboot did not give a go. Hope this helps

I just can't get the "Adb Original" signature from Pdanet. I always get standard Adb. I add the galaxy tab lines in the .inf file but still...
Do you guys edit the inf file with Wordpad or another tool ?

[GUIDE]Huawei P8 Lite Downgrade/Unlock Bootloader/Root(5.0 and 6.0)/ Enable Gyroscope

Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for what you do to your device, I tested these things for myself and posted it from my own experience, if you point the finger at me for whatever happens to your device, I will laugh at you.
HOWEVER, I am willing to help as long as it is asked kindly, and provided me with enough information.
Requirements:
Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21 (DUAL-SIM)
5.0 Firmware of choice
Unlocked bootloader
Patience
Correct drivers
SD card of atleast 8 GB
Drivers: Install these before even starting!
Minimal ADB Fastboot drivers
Huawei HiSuite
Kingoroot Windows
TWRP 3.0.2.0 Kirin variant
Preparing environment: Making sure no admin priveledge is necessary
Install all drivers mentioned above in their standard directories, don't change anything.
Go to the following path:
Code:
For x64 OS:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
For x86_32 OS:
C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Copy these files:
Code:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
And paste them on the desktop, in a folder called "rootingtools" so you're easily able to find it.
Then, go to your phone and enable USB debugging mode by going to
settings - about phone - press Build number 7 times
settings - developer options - USB debugging
Copy the content of "TWRP-3.0.0-2_P8-lite_KIRIN_variant.zip" and paste it into the "rootingtools" folder.
Backing up: Even though the unlocking process is not going to wipe your data, atleast it didn't for me, make SURE you have everything that you need backed up from the phone's internal memory.
Backing up your SD card wouldn't hurt neither.
First things first, unlock your bootloader!
I used this: https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
What you do is: fill in everything correctly and get the number at the end. It should be something in the words of:
Code:
Your unlocking password is: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
(X resembles numbers, 16 numbers in total)
Copy the 16 numbers and go to the "rootingtools" folder on your desktop.
Hold the SHIFT key and right click inside the folder, then press "open command window here"
Now take your phone, power it off and power it on by holding volume DOWN and POWER.
You will get a white screen that says something like fastboot, and an android logo.
Plug your phone into the PC via USB cable.
In the command window write:
Code:
fastboot.exe oem unlock UNLOCKKEY
Where UNLOCKKEY represents the key you just copied, right clicking pastes the key in the command window.
It should return finished, so now your phone should be unlocked!
If you look at the screen, there will be text beneath the green Android logo saying "unlocked".
In this case, the operation has succeeded and you can go to the next step, else you can try again or post a reply.
Now write:
Code:
fastboot.exe reboot
Now the phone will boot up like normal.
Close the command window.
Android 5.0:
If your android version right now is Android 5.0, and you actually WANT to root 5.0 or anything below 6.0 you can proceed with this step, if you have 6.0 or want to root 6.0, skip this step.
Since your android version is 5.0 you're blessed!
You can easily root, but before proceeding you might want to make a backup
Make sure you have about 8GB of free storage either on an SD card or internal memory first.
Connect your phone to your PC in the booted-up state where you can see the homescreen, making sure that USB debugging is enabled.
Shift + right click inside the rootingtools folder to open a command window and write:
Code:
adb.exe reboot-bootloader
Your phone will reboot into the bootloader, a white screen with a green Android logo that says "unlocked" beneath it.
Now on the command window write:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
Wait for it to finish and pull out the USB cable so it is NOT attached.
Power off the device by holding the power button, and power up by pressing volume UP + POWER.
Keep holding volume up until you see the Team Win logo.
Just slide the slider to the right.
Now go to "backup" and check every partition available.
In "name" you write:
Code:
MainBackupURTD
Then, go to the "options" tab and enable compression.
Go back to the "backup" tab and press "select storage".
From here you can choose where to back your data up, whether it be the internal storage or external SD card.
Press OK and swipe the slider to the right to start backing up.
Plug your phone in to make sure it doesn't power off during backing up, this process takes a while and you should let it do its thing.
When done, press "reboot system", your phone will reboot.
Let it fully start up.
Then, run Kingoroot on your PC.
Meanwhile, download the "SuperSU" app from the Play store.
Press the big "ROOT" button in Kingoroot and press "cancel" on every app your phone tries to install.
That way you will not install Kingoroot but SuperSU.
It will say "succeeded".
Now you can go on your phone and open the SuperSU app.
It will ask for an upgrade, press OK and go further with the normal installation (not the TWRP/CWM installation).
Let it do its thing and restart your phone.
Install any root checker and see if you're rooted!
Android 6.0:
Firmware version B188 or higher, below B524/B535 (excluding B524/B535):Upgrade firmware to this one: LINK (Link fixed)
Installation instructions: place file to the "dload" folder in your SD card or internal storage, then go to settings - updates - menu - local update and press the update.zip.
Then, follow the guide reported here: http://rootmygalaxy.net/root-huawei-p8-lite-android-marshmallow-6-0-update/
Enabling Gyro sensor (rooted android 6.0, B524/B535 firmware only! ( sorry :[ ) ):
Download attached file.
Put attached file to SD card.
Open ES file explorer, swipe to the right, enable root browser and click the R/W tab, then set /system as RW.
Then copy the attached file.
Paste the attached file in /system/etc/permissions
Press the search button and search for "gyro" without quotation marks.
Long press the only file that's there - menu and press properties.
Then change the permissions to 644, it should look like this O represents off, X represents on;
X X O
X O O
X O O
Set UID is off, Set GID is off, Sticky bit is off.
Reboot phone and download "Sensor box for Android" on the Play store and enjoy your gyroscope!
Now you can use Google Cardboard, though you have to install the APK...
You can watch 360 videos on youtube too.

Hiya, will the gyro hack work on a L02 B130 Android 5.0 as i can't get an update to 6.0 here in New Zealand?

unable to get unlock code
The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days.

@sevenaudio
As far as I know, the hack is for android 6.0 but there should be no problem in trying it out
It's just that it only worked for me on these FW
@DrLittle
I think Huawei has this policy of using your Huawei ID for 2 weeks (2 weeks online time) before you can unlock it
You could try sending them an email!

This probably won't work, you don't have adb shell available in bootloader, and while booted up you can't use the pm disable command without root..

true.. it will be more easier to boot TWRP, disable dm-verify and edit build.prop line
Code:

Thanks, i had to revert because i started getting random reboots since 2.0... Now I'mm gonna wait and see if it continues.
BTW, i think you forgot "fastboot oem lock" after downgrading.

after following the guide and flashing aw 1.5 I get an error saying zenwatch manager has stopped and then the reboots, and so on.
any ideas what went wrong and how can I fix this?

Thanks, that did the trick!

I'm having to much issues with 2.0 and overall I hate the update, so this guide is very appreciated, yet my watch is brand new and I don't want to mess things up, can you please do a complete guide with links to all the software needed and stuff? This seems to be for those who are already in the "knowing how to flash the FW", I believe I need to unlock the bootloader to in order to revert to AW 1.5 right? Or isn't that needed?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenwatch-3/how-to/fastboot-recovery-getting-g-co-abh-t3637403

Ok, I've been doing some reading and I'm almost ready to flash the watch back to 1.5, but just in case I'll make here the full list of what I've done/about to do, please check if all is correct:
1 - Download and place the Platform-tools folder from here on a easy access place to access on your PC
1.b - Edith Path Variable as shown here just be make things easier
2 - Enable USB debugging on watch by going to the watch Settings/System/About and pressing a few times on the Build Number
2.B - To check if the connection is well done between watch and PC open a command line on Windows and write "adb devices", it should show the watch SN listed
3 - Unlock the bootloader!
3.1 - Reboot to fastload (via *adb command* (You do this by opening a command prompt window from within windows itself) "adb reboot bootloader")
3.2 - type command "fastboot oem unlock"
4 - Download STOCK ROM MWG68 images
From here is where I have doubts, DON'T FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS until someone more experienced confirms if it's correct or not
5 - Place the files unziped: system.img / boot.img and recovery.img downloaded on point 4 inside the platform-tools folder in point 1
6 - Open a command prompt window and past the following code ***DOUBT*** Full code at once as shown bellow or line by line followed by enter??
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
7 - make factory reset on watch by... "unpair and reset" in the watch settings...
7.1 - Re-lock bootloader is advised? How and why to do it?
8 - Don't install AW 2.0 again?
@ingbrzy is this correct or am I missing something?

Thank you for this thread :good:
I'm back on 1.5 it's better for me in this moment...
My watch understand me again :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Edit:
I have two questions:
How I lock bootloader?
How to block Ota? Easiest way?
Thank you very much

Android Wear Updates
Does anyone know if leaving the bootloader unlocked prevents android wear 2.0 OTA
updates or any other updates?
Thanks, have a great day!

No, I have unlocked bootloader and after night my watch download AW2.0 update

TWRP Recovery
I wonder if installing TWRP recovery might prevent Android Wear 2.0 OTA update?
I am on Android Wear 1.5 and do not want to update or get notifications to update.
Thanks,

re: Build Prop file

@ingbrzy
Is it possible to use adb to pull and push the build-prop
file from /system to /sdcard or some other place where it would be
accessible making it easy to edit without rooting the watch?
(preferably someplace in Windows 10 or in my S7 Edge phone?)
If it's possible, could you please post the adb commands to pull and push the file?
Thanks in advance, have a great day!

I may go back as well. Aw 2.0 hasn't been a totally smooth experience even after wiping data and clearing cache. Sometimes it'll stutter and I will end up clearing all notifications instead of going one by one

Someone, please explain how to block OTA update to 2.0.... Please

The only way I found to block updates and notifications for updates
is to ROOT the watch.
I rooted my watch 3 days ago after really trying to like this AW 2.0
but after all was said and done I just could not see any reason to
keep the new AW 2.0.
The only two things which we good and nice in AW 2.0 was the
really good looking and smooth/fast scrolling of the app drawer
and the nicer notifications which AW 2.0 has.
But everything else in AW 2.0 is really crappy way too crappy for me.
If you are interested in rooting and twrping your watch here is the link
with step by step instructions and download links for the rom.
Android Wear v1.5 pre-rooted and twrp'ed custom rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenwatch-3/development/rom-asus-zenwatch-3-swift-t3537340
The main problem with keeping AW 1.5 without flashing
a custom rom is all those OTA notifications you get over
and over again without a way to disable the notifications.
Come on guys, do we really need a Google Play store in our watch... LOL
Also the only way a watch can be called "stand-alone" is if it has a sim card.
Good luck, have a great day!

Even though I knew what I was doing, I was on a new computer so I "followed" your instructions because I've never seen anyone write it out so thoroughly from no ADB at all, and glad to say you pretty much nailed it through that. Except step 2, it's more like a whole bunch of times. Don't know why you've gone un-thanked and un-replied!
Step 5 is unnecessary because of the method of setting up ADB with the path variable described in 1b (if you don't do step 1b, then the files need to be in the platform-tools folder). You just need to get to the same folder in the command prompt as the files. The command prompt by default opens to C:\Users\pyroguysf (or whatever your own name is), which is where your downloads folder is located by default, so if you unzip the files to your downloads folder, type "cd Downloads" to navigate into your downloads folder. Once you're in the same folder as the img files you unzipped, then run the commands listed in step 6, each line, one at a time. After each one, it should show the progress, and make sure it says completed not failed (I forget the exact words used) before going to the next. If it fails that's a separate topic, but it shouldn't. I always advise a factory reset after any significant software changes. Re-locking the bootloader is for security's sake, and while not 100% necessary, is highly recommended, unless you plan to be changing the software again anytime soon (I see a modified version in this thread that supposedly has OTA's disabled I might try, but this is slightly more advanced). Re-locking is basically the reverse of step 3 - reboot into bootloader with "adb reboot bootloader" and then once it's there "fastboot oem lock" instead of unlock.
Edit: That's right, you get the message upon boot for a while that your device can't be checked for corruption when it's unlocked. Also, my watch won't boot now, so I'm going to try a few more things... That's why I waited until the weekend.
Edit2: Re-unzipped the files (md5 was fine), did boot, recovery, then system, and did "fastboot format userdata" instead of "fastboot erase userdata" in step 6.
Edit3: Edited the quote from MK2ever below with what worked for me.

2A. Go to Settings>Developer Options and turn on "ADB Debugging" and plug your watch cradle into your computer and wait until windows installs drivers (Win 7 found them automatically for me)
2.B - To check if the connection is well done between watch and PC open a command line on Windows and write "adb devices", it should show the watch SN listed
2.C - when your watch asks to allow connections, tap "always allow from this computer"

[Guide] How to Unlock and Magisk Root on Stock OOS 9.0.7 (For Beginners)

NOTE: Since I am a semi-amateur at unlocking/rooting, this is not independent development. Instead, I noticed these forums don't seem to have a single one-stop guide that lays out the process for safely rooting the latest (9.0.7) Oxygen OS 9.0.7. This process may seem obvious to experts, but for people who are rusty or new to this, I wanted a process that didn't require lots of extra cross-referencing and research. I hope this is ok.
Big thanks to Dameon87 who supplied the patched boot rom, and deserves all the credit for the actual hard work with the patched boot image.
STEP 1: PREPARATION
Check that your phone is on 9.0.7.
On PC: Download patched_boot-9.0.7.img and MagiskManager-v6.0.1.apk from Dameon87's thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/9-0-7-patched-magisk-boot-img-t3875498 ) . Download ADB Tools if you don't have them ( https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools#download ) and extract to a folder. Copy patched_boot-9.0.7.img to your PC’s ADB root directory (the directory with fastboot.exe and adb.exe).
On phone: Boot into OOS. Navigate to Setup->About Phone. Tap Build Number until you turn on Developer Options.
On phone: Navigate to System->Developer Options. Enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging.
STEP 2: UNLOCKING
Connect your phone to your PC. Click ok on the OEM Debugging prompt on your phone.
On PC: Open a command prompt [Windows: Start->type "cmd.exe"], and navigate to the ADB tools directory. Run this command in the command prompt:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
The phone should reboot to the bootloader.
On PC: When phone finishes rebooting to the bootloader, run this command in the command prompt:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
IMPORTANT: ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED WHEN YOU DO THIS, INCLUDING ANY PERSONAL DATA, TEXTS, PHOTOS, MUSIC, ETC. If the phone has been used, please move your files off your device first! The phone will take some time to factory reset.
On Phone: Repeat Preparation Steps 3-4 to turn back on OEM Debugging in OOS.
STEP 3: INSTALLING MAGISK
On PC: Copy MagiskManager-v6.0.1.apk to the phone.
On PC: In the command prompt window, run this command (note this .img file should be in the adb.exe and fastboot.exe directory):
Code:
fastboot boot patched_boot-9.0.7.img
Phone will reboot.
On Phone: Use a file manager app to install MagiskManager-v6.0.1.apk (I use Astro or ES, but admittedly there are probably better ones out there).
On Phone: Open the Magisk Manager App, agree to the setup popup, and click install. When prompted, choose Direct Install.
On Phone: Reboot.
On Phone: In the OS, open Magisk Manager again and add MagiskHide exceptions.
This enabled all apps that I typically need SafetyNet for, including Pokemon Go, Netflix and Google Pay, as well as of course all root apps like TItanium Backup.
Again, apologies if this seems basic, but I hope this is useful for some who don't know all of the inner workings of android unlocking and rooting by heart. If you have any improvements, feel free to suggest them.

You need to change adb oem unlock to fastboot oem unlock. Otherwise good job!

I'm also a semi amateur at unlocking/rooting so I'm the target audience of the OP.
Ready to get my hands dirty and try it out. Last time I rooted it was on my old phone before Magisk was a thing.
I ended up not updating out of laziness.
Does magisk make OTA updates / keeping the phone up to date easier?
What's the best method for doing so if you want to keep your phone rooted?

Well there's quite detailed procedure explained on the forum. You'll find easily...
In general, you have to restore images in magisk, then install OOS OTA update, then install magisk to inactive slot... It's one of the easiest steps for keeping root and be up to date .

I've been rooting for almost a decade and I am grateful for this. I don't know why some of these devs always assume you know when their talking about using a PC or running shell commands. Lol. Everyone started as a noob.

Can you elaborate a bit more on how you got Pokemon Go working.
OS. 9.0.2 Magisk v18. Successfully rooted.
I'm selecting Pokemon Go under Magisk hide. But it still detects it. PoKe will sometimes run for about 30 secs then it gives me the error incompatible os.

Ok I'm new to this as well..I'm trying to understand the patched boot img part...so do u need the patched boot img for whichever oos ur currently running so to install magisk cleanly is that it...also I can't find the tutorial on how to install the ota's after ur rooted to where everything doesn't get erased etc..I need sumone to point me in the right area to look..I found a lil bit on it once but now I can't seem to find it..thx to everyone in this great community for all the time and effort all put into this. It's so easy to overlook all the hard work that gets done behind the scenes..so I just thank u personally for what u do for us...

Make sure your drivers are installed correctly as shown above. When in edl mode the drivers are different than fastboot. Try reinstall the application with right click and ‘run as administrator’.

It seems that there is something wrong with the drivers, or maybe the adb installation. Try to find other fastboot.exe and adb.exe then delete all duplicates except for "C:\adb", and don't forget to restart your PC.

This should do it but, I'm not sure if this is going to work on a rooted device.
Code:
fastboot flashing lock_critical
fastboot flashing lock
