Help! I have accidentally erased everything from my HOX+ and now i have no OS and my device's internal memory will not be read by my pc. Is there any way i can get something back on there?
If you can get to bootloader, and I'm sure you can.. (holding volume down while turning the phone on)
You could start by flashing the appropriate recovery. (non att is here , and the att recovery is here )
Then reboot to recovery, and side mount the sd card, and dump a rom on there. (i had to format my sd card at this time using windows.. it's ok if you need to)
Be sure to extract the boot.img to flash in fastboot before you reboot or you'll bootloop (if you have no idea what i just typed, let me google that for you)
you'll need these three files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q5u67wv5jjbz2te/1dV9Voar26
This thread may help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051032
Bear in mind that's for the att model just be cognizant to flash international files.

I don't know where any instructions said that.
Did you get the recovery installed?
if so, you need to click here to MOUNT sd card.. at that time, CONNECT the phone to the computer with a usb cable and then put a rom on the SD card.

EDIT: i don't recommend the toolkit; it breeds ignorance.
The sideloading is not necessary. Just mount the SD, dump the rom, unmount the SD, and flash the rom.. then, when that's done, choose the reboot option in TWRP, reboot to bootloader, choose fastboot, and fastboot flash boot boot.img the boot.img you pulled out of the .zip from the rom you chose.
please excuse my ignorance and now that i have clicked MOUNT is something supposed to happen?

well, not on the phone. but, if you plug your phone into your computer, the SD card will magically pop up as storage on the computer. Just mount the SD, dump the rom, unmount the SD, and flash the rom.. then, when that's done, choose the reboot option in TWRP, reboot to bootloader, choose fastboot, and fastboot flash boot boot.img the boot.img you pulled out of the .zip from the rom you chose.

It does nothing on the computer either. No removable storage options or auto-play. however, HTC sync does come up.
did you go to my computer and make sure there's no extra storage on there that wasn't there a minute ago?
if there isn't, you have reached the end of my knowledge.

I had a big driver fight when i first rooted my one x+.
only thing i can tell you is to press start button and type in device manager and hit enter.
if you see your phone with a yellow ! triangle.. you need to fix that.
make sure to disable antivirus software, and reboot after any driver installs.
also, i have seen a few posts where the USB cable was the problem; try a different one, or the one that came with the phone is preferred.
---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------
also, i found this (it's for a one x but might work for you as well.. it looks promising)
I found this worked to get Win7 x64 to recognize the SD Card and ADB:
1. Uninstall the driver completely from the system (HTC MTP Device). This has to be done under the device properties. This should force the system to see a new device called "One" without a driver, under "Other Devices" in the Device Manager.
2. Install HTC Sync from http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync/. Once installed, it has to update to the latest version. This is needed to install all additional drivers for SD Card access.
3. Latest HTC Drivers will be listed under C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files
4. For ADB access, go to http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-unlock-bootloader-and-root-att-htc-one-xhtc-one-xl/ and download appropriate drivers for your Windows flavor. These are the ADB drivers. I only tested out the 64-bit drivers though as all my machines are 64-bit.
5. Download the zip, and extract. Remember the location of the files. Go into Device Manger, find "One" under "Other Devices" and Update Driver Software. Point to the new directory you made and install. The One X will now be listed in Device Manager as "My HTC" under "Android USB Devices"
6. To verify ADB, open a CMD prompt, point to Android directory and type in "adb devices". Your beautiful HTC One X should be listed.
don't give up pelucaz491. you are close.
You can't mount this phone's sd card from recovery because it is ext4, you have to use side load.

Someone with more experience has spoken. Maybe he can carry you the rest of the way; I tried.
If what he says is true, then I can no longer help, as I don't have experience with this issue. I only knew all that from my one X issues. Evidently what I was telling you is wrong for an x+.

If you have an ATT/Telus or INTL HOX+ then you can go to my TUT and get a rom back on your phone. My tut can be found here. I know it has already been mentioned in this thread but since people are trying to help out with the wrong info that is not intended for this device you might want to look at my tut and see if it will help you out.
Also, your phone is not bricked...

Perfect...so I did the exact same thing with I unlocked my bootloader and put a custom recovery on...not realizing how the storage was setup I deleted my nandroid backup and everything else that was stock on the phone. So, you can definitely use my tut to get a rom back on...or you now have the choice to flash an RUU that has been provided by Football that is also listed in my tut.
If you have some specific questions for me or get stuck just let me know

Unlocked, rooted and S-ON. I can get into Fastboot, and I'm trying to get into recovery. I can't. It just reboots to the white HTC screen and sits there. Same with Factory Reset.
Everything I do with Hasoon's kit fails. Either the device is never found, or I get this-
sending 'recovery' (6346 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
I simply can't get into recovery.
I've taken zip files of RUU's, recoveries, kernels and everything, renamed them to PH85IMG.zip and tried loading. They just go through the loader icon on the top left, then returns back to fastboot. I'm just not getting nowhere. I've been on the forums searching for several hours now.
HBOOT recognizes when USB is plugged in. But the phone is never found when I run commands from the toolkit.
I put my SIM in my old iPhone2 while I try to get this working. It's a horrible phone!
What else should I try?

Do you know how to use adb? Well, if not, you're gonna need to.
boot into recovery and WHILE it's loading, input this command in the command prompt window EXACTLY as it is presented! Meaning that if a letter is capitalized, you need to do so too. For best results, I recommend copying the command in its entirety and paste it in the prompt.
The command is as follows:
adb shell /sbin/newfs_msdos -F 32 -L INT_SD -c 64 /dev/block/mmcblk0p36
It should spit out some stuff, that is usually normal, and then in the prompt, also type in:
adb reboot-recovery
after that, your woes should be gone.
EDIT: You should, however, reinstall whatever ROM you were using. This trick only fixes the internal SDCard.

Thanks. I got familiar with ADB. I put in your commands in the command prompt, and not only were your instructions easy to read and follow, but it worked. My SD card is now readable. I also cleaned all my caches and re-partitioned the card. 4EXT is working 100% and all is well.
I downloaded the Fourth Bar: Infusion ROM and installed it through the 4EXT. It seemed to work- I was provided with several options to choose from in terms of defaults (kernel, boot animation, launcher, camera, lockscreen, etc), however the actual install happened way too fast. I left all of the options as default. Before I knew it, the install was done and rebooting. However, it went back to the white screen where it sat there and didn't budge. I left it for over 10 minutes.
I have tried both the stock kernel and the Faux kernel, neither make a difference.

Good idea. Here's what I did.
In Mounts | Storage I have /data, /internal/sdcard, /sdcard plus others.
When I load into Mounts| Storage, they are ALL unmounted except /cache. So I go and mount them all.
Install the OS from .zip and it does it's thing.
Reboot, and hangs at white screen.
OR
Don't reboot, and go back to Mounts | Storage, and /sdcard needs to be mounted again.
If I reboot, all need to be mounted again except for /cache.
I doing some searches, I read that maybe my SD card needs formatting, or there's a format issue. I have run a few formats of my card and checked it's health, and it seems okay.

Well guys, I think I messed this one up, Sprint HTC One Max that I unlocked the bootloader on and then proceeded to S-Off with Rumrunner and failed due to not already having su permissions.(note his instructions say "OR Bootloader unlocked" so I figured I was fine having done that) The device rebooted fine initially after exiting the tool and then after attempting to manually flash TWRP for this device so I could get root access and try again, the phone rebooted to recovery and now fastboot AC is as far as I can get. Downloading the Sprint Decrypted RUU from OMJ now because I'm retarded and cant figure out how to get around using commands in Free Arc to unzip the signed RUU...any help is appreciated. :silly: Tried manually updating the drivers for the "unknown device" on usb hub port 8 in my device manager with offical and generic HTC drivers and tried reinstalling HTC Sync to no avail. am I bricked?

How do I unzip the signed one and use it without the error. I know it has to be something simple I'm missing. Yes I used the twrpsprint.img from Squabbi's Toolkit, thats what failed the phone into recovery. (Red Traingle). Now the phone can get into the bootloader and it will boot into android but no usb debugging when I enable it.

I can get to the bootloader no problems just that the phone wont talk to the computer. I can hear it connect/disconnect from usb but always device unrecognized so I cant send the phone any commands. I can boot into android no issues though. So youre suggesting flash twrp img using an app like flashify or goo manager like a openrecoveryscrript from android then install a custom ROM after to fix the fastboot usb recognition? I am S-On, unlocked currently.
I am hoping to help but was/am distracted. I think you can fix what is going on with flashing the twrp from flyhalf thread. I am not on sprint so haven't gone through it on that side.
Also as noted in the ruu thread you cannot flash the older ruu posted if you are on a newer update. Check the version.
do you have the htc drivers installed on your computer?
Maybe try to follow this to get back on track. It was written specifically with Sprint in mind.

yup.. going through troubleshooting this connection right now... nothing returned on adb devices, list of devices is blank. somethings up. no serial number, nothing... tried both in the OS and in fastboot.
troubleshooting connectivity issues:
-try a reboot of the PC
-try different usb cables and ports
-dont use a usb hub
-dont use usb 3.0
-make sure nothing capable of comunicating with the phone is enabled and running. htc sync,pdanet,easy tether,and even itunes have all been known to cause issues.
-windows 8 has been known to have issues. try a windows 7 or older machine
failing the above,
-i use these drivers for fastboot and adb(donwload and run as admin): http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe (mirror)
failing that,try manually updating the drivers in the following manner:
-put the phone in fastboot mode(select fastboot from the hboot menu)
-open device manager on the PC
-plug in phone,watch for it to pop up in device manager.
-update drivers with device manager,pointing the wizard to the extracted
driver download folder from above
note that you can check the connectivity of the phone,and make sure drivers are working by in the following manner:
-open cmd window. change to directory containing adb/fastboot utilities
-adb with the phone in the booted OS,usb debug enabled,enter:
adb devices in a cmd window
-fastboot with phone in fastboot,enter:
fastboot devices in cmd window
in either case,a properly connected phone with working drivers installed should report back the phones serial number.
at any rate I know adb works because it can see my old m7wls just fine.

Never achieved SU to begin with so I cant flash it. the app FCs without Su permission. I'll try updating adb.
Question: If I never managed to achieve anything beyond Unlocking the bootloader, wouldn't a Factory Reset from the boot loader menu fix any partition discrepancies anyway and allow the PC to recognize the device again? I guess thats what I cant understand. What would go so wrong if I never flashed anything, not intended for Sprint HTC One Max's that would suddenly cause the PC not to recognize the Fastboot USB?
UPDATE1/25:
Updated everything in adb for 4.3 and 4.4 and 4.2.2 and the toolkits. Still nothing. I think I have determined the root cause may be a bad copy of TWRP that results in a QHSUSB_DLOAD issue like from the Evo 3D days. Unfortunately however, since the One Max is a relatively new device, there has been no "ultimate recovery tools" established to fix this type of error. So now, lol... wait for it. Now I have an "Unlocked", unrooted, S-ON, Stock HTC One Max(sprint) and stock recovery whos partitions I can only imagine are ok yet the computer refuses to recognize on fastboot.
That said, does anybody know, since I can apparently boot Android, and the phone itself works just fine, if there are any market apps which would support flashing from inside the phone, like Flash Image GUI to try and root this thing internally or am I just hosed/hard bricked stuck on stock?

Ok, Update 2! Managed to get into the Stock recovery console and wipe the cache partitions, but it seems even that did not fix the issue.(The phone had never been rooted or had a custom recovery flashed and got stuck on S-On, Unlocked, no recognition from Fastboot USB on the PC) So since I can apparently get here, can I flash a CWM or TWRP image from here(stock recovery->apply update from SD card or internal storage)? or is that only for flashing a whole ROM?
Thanks!!

Ok, UPDATE 3, back at work trying a different computer... Turns out it wasnt as bad as I thought at all. Its a driver issue on my personal computer.(work computer recognizes the Max on Fastboot Usb, still didnt list it on devices yet but I'm not worried about that right now.) Oh well... so since I know this is an isolated incident, any recommendations for driver cleaner, like Drive Cleaner CC? Or what would be the best method short of wiping my laptop to a fresh copy of Win 7, that I could use to make sure I am removing all failing instances of HTC Drivers from my machine. Like I said it picks up and installs my HTC One (m7) fine, but the One Max, nadda. So I need to correct the driver issue on my end ultimately to reduce further issues. :silly: Sorry to keep posting to myself but hopefully someone else will benefit from reading what happened to me.

Profit! Thanks to those who helped!!! Your comments were appreciated, mods can lock this thread as solved.

Congrats! you seemed to have a long time fighting with the device.
I had successfully flashed my phone and installed Cyanogenmod 11. After several weeks I decided to take my phone back to Stock Sense and in the process I messed up terribly. Somehow I erased everything off of my internal memory and the phone sits in the cyanogenmod bootloader. Apparently I had saved my backup to internal storage like an idiot and it is gone now. I do have an SD card accessible. The status is as follows:
1. Phone is unlocked
2. S-ON Status showing (not sure how to get it to S-Off but not sure if this is my biggest issue)
3. When the phone powers on it goes to the Cyanogenmod Boot Screen and the little blue guy staring at me stares at me with the spinning blue circle until the phone actually goes dead.
4. Once phone goes dead I can attain access to my bootloader by holding volume down and the power button and I can get into TWRP recovery.
5. I connect the phone to my PC and when I access by command prompt and type adb devices it shows the phone either in fastboot or recovery or sideload mode depending on where I am at in the accessible system.
6. I have loaded cyanogenmod 11 nightly on my external sd card and flashed it and it says successful but when I reboot the phone still remains locked on the bootscreen until it dies again.
7. I have tried sideloading the ROM and when I do that it tells me that it can not access internal storage or any type of storage and says it is using RAM for storage....not sure how that works but once the ROM has been sideloaded I can not find it.
Here is what I want....I simply want to be able to reinstall Sense 6 or Cyanogenmod 11 back onto my phone so it will work once again but I am lost. I have followed numerous how tos on the web and I am getting nowhere.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Ask as many questions as needed and I will supply you with as detailed of an answer as I can.
Thanks in advance.
okay try this first and see if it gets at least cm11 working again...
1. Go and put cm11 on your external sdcard
2. boot into recovery mode
3. factory reset the device
4. manually wipe /system (this is needed under certain circumstances)
5. now flash cm11 and the gapps package
6. reboot
this should get cm11 back up and running for you at least. Now once cm11 is back up and running do the same thing with the sense rom that you were trying to go to. it should work.
EDIT: also, keep a copy of your nandroid backup on a computer somewhere that way if something like this happens again you dont loose your backup.

When I attempt to factory reset the device it tells me it has failed.....and unable to mount '/data'
unable to mount internal storage
and does it matter that it is in S-On?
Thanks again

okay ive had a phone of mine do that before, it should be okay as long as you wipe /system. after doing that try and flash the rom again and let me know if it works right.
and no it being s-on shouldnt matter with this.

I will send you a screenshot of what I get when I try to wipe the system - it states that it fails. Should be able to attach screenshot in a few minutes.
Waiting on phone to die again because it will not power down.

Did you ever try to factory reset in bootloader?
This is the second post today I've seen where a person was having trouble wiping /data, which is usually a breeze. I wonder what is causing this. I'm just reaching a bit here, as the only time I've seen such issues, is on my old One X (EVITA) where doing a factory reset in bootloader would corrupt the internal storage. And the fact you said that formatting the storage fixed the issue, also reminds me of that same issue on the EVITA.
I'm in the same boat.

Hi, I'm in a similar situation with my newly acquired HTC One M8.
I have access to bootloader and recovery (TWRP v.2.7.0.2), but I'm getting all the same "failed to mount ***" errors as you were having.
Can you please elaborate on how to "format the partition" or point me to a detailed thread/article on how to do that?
And any notes on how you got it back to work are very appreciated - I've spent hours and hours researching a trying things without any success.
I'm sorry I'm somewhat new to this...
Let me know if you need any more info and thank you for your help in advance.

You posted to a thread that is over a year old, its a stretch (to say the least) that you are in the "same situation".
If you can boot or flash TWRP, go to the Wipe options, then try the "Format Data" option.
Otherwise, try to relock the bootloader and RUU back to stock.
HTC One (M8) recovery fix
I have be stuck almost Vb. this worked with (M7) /(M8) AT&T. The quick fix would be to reflash BusyBox in recovery. Because more than likely your partition is out of wake due to flashing to many roms. If you get into recovery and are getting errors when trying to mount .Zip ie: all files completely missing or not enough space/storage est. When you the error its looking for an 4 dig number. try 0000 not work 1111. That works 90% for me. This assuming you are using TWRP 7.2++ or later. If still Stuck just flash same TWRP using over the top. Should be fine, I only know this because I have done the same and had worked great.

I tried to get help last year to set up my HTC Wildfire S and ended up hard bricking it.
I have a Evo 3D now and tried to unlock using the universal toolkit, but the toolkit did not work. At the final stage the phone just restarted with no changes. Tried the old fashioned method using stk pack and HTC sync manager, but just with the Wildfire S, the Manager could not recognize the EVO 3D. I really like this phone and don't want to hard brick it as well.
I don't see any reason to try, as I really enjoy the 3D camera and every ROM I've seen either does not support 3D or the camera works poorly.
Is there something to the contrary that I missed?

Only ICS Sense 3.6 ROMs have fully working 3d and some of them have great camera software. So, if you want a custom ROM, my advice is to go with ISC Sense 3.6. All newer have issues. As for unlocking the phone, did you try Htc dev? Easiest and most secure way to unlock your bootloader

Thanks for the info on the rom. I tried the HTC Dev after the Universal tool failed. Unfortunately, the HTC Sync cannot locate the EVO 3D, it was the exact same problem I had with the Wildfire S. There is another way if I recall but I forgot what it was that lets you enter the token. I think it was a custom program someone made.

I don't think so, but try another cable if you have one. Also, don't use USB 3 port. Did you enable USB debuging on your phone?

Not connected to usb 3, and yes, phone is set to usb debugging. I'm very careful and follow directions to the T. I have read several "how to" threads but no success. I am being very careful with this phone however, and I don't want to do anything to it unless it is safe to do so.
Ok, I tried this tutorial
http://youtu.be/M3jbZZWKwkY?t=15m6s
And was able to unlock the bootloader using this. However, when I tried su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed to root it, I got can't open error. (bad).
using revolutionary cwm v4.0.1.4
Now I tried this tutorial: http://youtu.be/Q21rX13hnUY
This one uses uses EX4 and SU 3.1.3 Instead of Revolutionary and 2.3.6.3.
Again, everything is fine until I try to install the SU. Why can't any of these zips install???? Ugh.
and that one has the exact same specs as mine. Same ver. software, android ver. ect.
I'm at a complete loss on what's going on.
All of these tutorials go from unlocking to flashing recovery to flashing Superuser, but do you need to have S-Off before you can flash Superuser?
Curious as I'm currently unlocked with 4ext and S-Off.

It is not necessary to be S-OFF in order to flash a ZIP. S-OFF is mainly for getting onto new bootloader version to run newer ROMs.
Are you able to mention the errors you get from flashing the SU ZIP?

Are you able to link me to the download for that ZIP and also get the MD5 of the one on your SD card? I believe you might have a corrupted download. You can even try extracting the contents of the ZIP on Windows to a folder and if it shows an error, it's a bad download.

I just tried what you said, and I cannot unzip them in Windows. How in the world could that every download I've found be corrupt?
I DL multiple times for both files, the 3.1.3 came from SuperUser's own website and 2.3.6.3 came from this site.

Sometimes it happens. I used to have a hard time downloading small files for some reason, they'd always corrupt, but larger files did not, it was odd. What I would personally try is downloading them via your mobile data, may work.
Also, both of your attachments were seen as corrupt on my end. You could try downloading from here:
download.chainfire.eu

Finally, a clue. It appears that the SU zips are not corrupted when I download them, however when the recovery tries to flash them, it is then they become corrupted.
At first, one would think that it may be a bad recovery, but keep in mind I've tried Revolutionary before EXT4 and the problem was still occuring.
What could be causing the zips to become corrupt upon flashing? It can't be flashing in general, because it has been able to flash both recoveries just fine.

Hey, a fellow Texan!
Anyways, is it becoming corrupt after you transfer and attempt the flash, or is it becoming corrupt after the transfer (try transferring it and opening it again from the mounted drive). If it's the first, you could attempt to download another recovery, you don't have to flash it, you can simply type:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Here's a link to the recovery I'm currently using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...overy-unoffical-twrp-2-7-1-0-selinux-t2831444
There's a link to 2.8.1.0 in the second post that you can attempt to use. If it's the second circumstance, what I would try to do is push the ZIP via adb. You can do this while in recovery as adb is recognized in it. Run this command to do it:
adb push file.zip /sdcard/file.zip

Try booting back into your phone and then pushing it through adb. Chances are not everyones device gets detected in recovery. Mine did at one point I think.
Anyone have a pair of these glasses and working on root access? Anyone interested? There are a group of us that would be really interested in finding a solution.

I have a pair of the FPV Drone Edition. Have side loaded a few apps. Haven't rooted since Galaxy S3 ( back on iPhone now) am interested to get this going
Hi !
It seems the rooting of intel devices follow the scheme:
-get bootimg
-patch it
-allow oem bootloader (voiding warranty and endangering future updates)
-flash the patched bootimg and pray
Is this correct or did i oversimplify or generalize too much or am i plain wrong, anyone ?
Greetings,
Ender
P.S. Greetings dvegaman
Bump.
Well, BUMP, goddamn
Just came across 2 pairs of these (BT-300s).
If the lack of interest in rooting is due to lack of hardware, reach out to me privately here on XDA; would happily donate one to kickstart some development efforts.

This may seem easy to others but I figured out how to do a factory data reset using ADB... something that would've helped when my BT-300 went into a boot loop last weekend...
***DO AT YOUR OWN RISK! NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING, ETC..... (but it worked fine for me).
1. Install "minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.2_setup.exe" (google it and grab at your own risk) on your Windows PC.
2. Go to the BT-300 and:
a. Under Security allow unknown sources
b. Under Developer Options allow USB debugging and unlock bootloader.
3. Connect same powered up BT-300 to PC via USB cable.
4. Start up that minimal ADB program. It will open in command prompt.
5. Check connection by typing "adb devices"
Should see "EMBT3C device" on PC
6. Now type, "adb reboot recovery" and wait for android with triangle/exclamation point to appear after device reboots. You will notice the physical buttons flash purple too.
7. Press and hold power button. Also press Vol Up, then release Vol Up and finally release Power button.
You should now see the recovery menu including "wipe data/factory reset", cache clear, and so on...
NOW... if I could get recovery.zip image to restore if I "kill" it to reload with ADB... THEN I'd try root. There must be a way. I just want GApps 5.1.1 on the thing for starters.
Still struggling with rooting... No dice so far. I've never rooted any Android... Once rooted can we then save the original factory ROM someplace safe, or do I need that first from another source? Newbie questions . I know just enough to be dangerous! LOL.
I got the factory image

Ok sending now.
I also managed to root my epson! I discovered the twrp.img here:

If you get into bootloader mode and fastboot flash it into the recovery partition, you can adb root it and then install supersu from there. I just trashed my device though so be sure to do a full image backup first haha.

Tried to load up opengapps, then every time I rebooted it would be "optimizing apps" I tried to side-load the OTA again and poof, it killed the system partition.
The ota apparently doesn't have the full image. Right now I am trying to hack together something from another cherry rom and side load it, but I need a DD of someones system Glad twrp still works or I wouldn't have shell root access to fix.

You tell me how to share a pure factory image of mine (I'll gladly do an FDR for the cause)... and I'll share with ya!

Ok I am retarded. I didn't configure twp correctly so all the folders it had were wrong. So when I went to use the install tool it screwed up majorly.
Just glad I didn't overwrite the bootloader
PS - Ok, I figured out how to restore the original recovery loader and it recovered fine. It must be something in this hacked version of twip that isn't applying the ota correctly. Going to try to build a version of twip just for this

You are not. I am the noob trying to figure out the whole root process and I don't even know how to backup the existing bootloader and ROM so I can restore it with ADB if I screw it all up in root..... I feel clueless and know just enough to be dangerous... yet for some reason, I'm not afraid, just need to learn.

Whew! I did it. First I took the instructions from here as a start:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-tutorial-intel-atom-cherry-trail-t3468330
In fact, if you can "almost" follow the instructions verbatim. The problem is that the data drive is encrypted and the default android password didn't work so I had to modify the boot.img to not encrypt the data partition then do a wipe. supersu installed fine then.
As for gapps, that was tricky. You have to manually install google webview apk as the built in one is garbage.
Still working on the vr settings. Camera has issues with scaling as I think good believes it to be a widescreen when its a 4.3.
Once I get it down, I will make a boot.img and recovery.img that should just work.
