Motorola Mini - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello...
I am currently trying to root my sons Moto Mini Android Version 4.4. I have rooted many other devices in the past (Motorola and Samsung) , but this one is kicking my butt here is what I have done. I have downloaded and ran the latest Motorola driver software, I have downloaded and expanded Fastboot+ADB20926.zip, I have downloaded PwnMyMoto-1.4.3-Droid.apk (for Verizon). I have placed the .apk file in the win32 folder in Fastboot+ADB20926. I click on and open Fastboot+ADB20926 and then shift-right click on the win 32 folder, I select "open command window here", within the command window I type adb install -r pwnmymoto-1.4.3-droid.apk. I do get a response saying dameon running then error: device offline, waiting for device... I have the USB debugging checked and made sure it is running... I have rebooted many times my PC and the cell, I have even tried a different pc and I get the same message.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Try Towelroot.

Click the Lambda, and install the app. Ignore the warnings, and bypass any AV software. Make it Ra1n. Install SuperSU and RootChecker. If it works, the Superuser binaries should update, and RootChecker will verify root.

HKC p771a 7 inch Tablet Root

I have used many different methods to root phones even a few tablets for friends. But I have bought a HKC 7 inch tab from walmart. Great starter tablet by the way. I have found no information what so ever on any forum about this model. It has decent processor power and runs rather smooth. Alas there is no way to root this thing to reach its full potential. I checked around on the net and found nothing, none of the one click apps work on this model. Adb does not recognize the tablet either. I've put in the tablet ID into the adb_usb.ini still no device found. I'm not looking for anyone to just hand me the root process on a silver plater, though that would be nice, but any help moving me in the right direction would be appreciated.
I rooted one of these for a friend at work,
sourceforge.net/projects/androidroot/ is the root that I got to work.
and I've attached the driver that the manufacturer provided me when I requested a driver for development purposes.View attachment Rockusb.rar
Here is how I got it rooted
1. Installed Java JDK and Android SDK.
2. downloaded and extracted Manufacturer driver from Rockusb.rar and right clicked on the .inf file and selected install.
3. Opened Android SDK manager, installed Android SDK for version of tablet, and SDK tools, and Google usb driver from extras.
4. Enabled usb debugging mode on the tablet, and enabled unsigned apps to be installed.
5. Connected the tablet via USB
6. when the tablet shows up in the device manager as P771A I selected to update the driver manually, and selected the google USB driver from the android SDK.
7. Downloaded and extracted the android root I listed above.
8. Run android root and when it says "press any key to continue" it is waiting until the device connects to the computer again, as it could be rebooting, and one time when the tablet reboots, there is no text, just a black screen, but it does eventually connect and you can continue.
Also. I extracted the root to my desktop. when I ran as admin, it did not work, because the files were not on the administrators desktop, only mine, so it might be a good idea to extract the root to C:\ drive, so if you need to use admin, it won't fail
hope this helps

when in doubt go back to the forums. I can not get the inf in the rockusb to install. "Installation for this file type not permited" . So I'm stuck, the program will not complete. I'm on windows 7 so maybe the driver is for another system. If you can provide futher help, Thanks in advance.
New approach
Ok I cannot get the drivers to install on my computer. Window 7 seems to default to its own driver and will not let me install the rockusb drivers.
With that said, I have the system Update.img and was wandering if the img itself can be rooted and then updated to the tablet. If this is possible and anyone with the knowledge is willing I will upload it. Or if someone is really patient and would like to walk me through the process and I will attempt to do this myself
No Help
So with no help I assume this is dead. I have a usb driver package with an .inf file a .sys file and a .cat file but this will not install on my computer thus leaving without a clue and no help. Have seached for a way to force install this driver command line install right click and install the inf. Nothing works so if someone wants to throw me a bone, thanks, if not I guess this thread is dead.

Can't tell your level of PC knowledge so if you already know this don't get offended. The .inf is editable and there are areas in there that allow manufacturers to prevent installation on some OS's to prevent conflicts. Make a system restore point or better yet a backup and then post the contents of the INF somewhere and point the folks here to it and they may be able to help you edit it to install. Regardless, you'll have to use the "have disk" option instead of letting windows search for a driver even if you get the edits right. And the usual disclaimers about me not being responsible for any issues with your equipment as a result of this are in effect.

I was able to root using the instructions above although i don't think you need the rockusb drivers. You just need the usb drivers that come with the android sdk. I am on Win 7. Thanks for the above info for rooting.
I was able to install ROM manager and now proceeding to backup ROM and upgrade using this guide: cant post link as forum is preventing, but search for rom flash guide on androidpolice com.
Hope this helps.
Big thanks to this thread to get me going...!!!
?
could someone please, Barney style, Explain how I am supposed to select the android_winusb.inf because my steps are as follows. Right click on device p771a in device manager, browse my computer, let me pick from a list of device drivers, have disk, point to the google usb driver (C:/Android/android-sdk/extras/google/usb_driver) select the android_winusb.inf open. Hit ok, (The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for you device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64-based systems). Hope this helps explain my troubles. Glad that my thread is helping others to root this device but it does not work for me.
Could it really be that simple?
Found in another forum about the nexus 7 when connected to the pc there is a presistent notification that allows you to change the connection type from mpt to camera which will give you adb access and the tool from this thread works great. Thanks for the help guys, got my root on

Glad you could figure it out...
I was not able to use the ROM Manager to backup the ROM since the device is not supported on this tool, but see below for how you can obtain the stock image.
I've tried to flash multiple different ROMs using RKAndroid to the tablet, spending days on this, with no success. The tool itself works great and I am able to flash the ROMs since it supports the RK29 chipset which I believe this tablet has. The stock ROM for this device is available from the manufacturers web site (the link is available when you go to Settings => About Device => System Update, hkcdigital dot com slash update slash update.img), if anyone would like to take the stock rom and upgrade it to Android 4.2/JB.
I was able to unpack/repack the stock image using the wendal image tools and modify / cook the ROM using Android kitchen method described elsewhere in this forum. Rockchip Batch Tool is another great utility to flash custom ROMs to this device. Also, If you put the ROM as update.zip or update.img file on the microSD card, the tablet will take it and flash the image as long as it is in the right format. Ofcourse you can put the tablet into recovery and restore from there as well. I've found that the stock image (update.img) has the following file/folder format when unpacked: /RK29xxLoader(L)_V2.27.bin, /package-file, /parameter, /recover-script, /update-script, /Image/boot.img, /Image/system.img, /Image/recovery.img and /Image/misc.img.
Is it possible to upgrade this tablet to Android 4.2 or atleast Jelly Bean? Would be very helpful if someone is able to do this. The most success I've had so far is with the custom ROM Oma_Odys_Loox_JB_4.1.1_v1.2.2a flashed using RKAndroid. It flashed the tablet fine, updated the boot etc. On tablet boot I am able to see the new logo, but then the it doesn't go anywhere from there. I think customizing this ROM or the stock ROM we should be able to get the new OS on to the HKC tablet. I've given up for now since I don't have the time to spend on this anymore. If someone is able to do this, please post the instructions or upload the custom ROM, as I am sure it will benefit a lot of people and will be much appreciated. Happy cooking!
Thanks!
jawadshaik- rom manager
If you have successfully flashed rom manager on this device could you post the steps you took to do so. What version? Manual flash? The program itself says there is no recovery for this device.
Sorry jumped the gun on that last post. Thanks for the info
What's the secret to keeping the battery from draining so quickly while it's idle? I just got this and see it drained about 40% in about 2 hours I think and I wasn't using it.

@jawadshaik
Just out of curiosity, when you were flashing that Rom that brought up the boot screen, did you do a wipe/factory reset from recovery mode before flashing? I have no idea if that would help or not, but most if not all roms require a data wipe before flashing... Just curious if you had tried this as I have heard of this happening on other devices because a data wipe wasn't done first. Might be worth a shot if you haven't tried it already, just a thought

So after doing working on this a while, I've finally figured it out. Here are some caveats:
1. You can't do this on a Mac or Linux box. Don't ask me why, you just cant.
2. You have to turn on USB debugging, change the Security to allow Unknown sources and MOST IMPORTANT: when you plug it in, you have to change it to "Connected as a Camera". Putting it in storage mode doesn't work!
HOW TO INSTALL THE PROPER DRIVER & ROOT THE DEVICE:
1. Follow the steps quoted above and download the Google Android SDK, and the Java JDK (from oracle.com/java).
2. When you first plug it in (use the USB plug labeled USB not the HOST one), it complains and will discover a P771A device. When it does, right click on your computer, choose Manage my computer, go to the device manager and then right click on the P771A device. Click "Update Device Driver". Choose "Browse my computer for Driver software". Then choose, "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer". Browse to the \adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver folder which you would have if you had downloaded and installed the Google Android SDK. A list of 3 drivers will appear when you click OK. CHOOSE THE "ANDROID BOOTLOADER INTERFACE" as the driver. None of the others work.
3. Run the root script batch file mentioned above which can be found here at: sourceforge.net/projects/androidroot
4. The root script isn't really great at explaining so I'll try. When you first run it, make sure your device is unlocked and on the home screen.
5. The first thing it will do is reboot your machine. Don't press enter until your machine comes back up.
6. After your machine boots unlock it and then press Enter again. Your machine will reboot. This time it won't seem to come up but the backlight will remain on.
7. Wait about 30-45 seconds then press enter again. You should get: uid=0(root) gid=0(root) in the command prompt window.
8. Press Enter. You should get:
remount succeeded
727 KB/s (22364 bytes in 0.030s)
Removing changes except ROOT...
Installing superuser...
2288 KB/s (843503 bytes in 0.360s)
9. After about 30-60 seconds, your device should reboot. You'll see a box briefly saying "Android is Upgrading" and you'll arrive at the lock screen. Press Enter to exit the command prompt.
Your device is now rooted and you should see "SuperUser" installed. I promptly installed "root uninstaller" to get rid of Facebook, Skype, and Youtube which my little kids don't need access to. This device doesn't have a bootloader or recovery mode so rooting it doesn't get you much besides the ability to uninstall the system software. Have fun.
This may help someone but on step 2 of the guide on the second page, after you right click your device and go to "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer". You then click "Show All Devices" then "Have Disk..." Direct it to the root of the adt-bundle folder you downloaded then you can select from the three drivers. I'm on windows 7 32bit and the drivers didn't show up for me like how it was suppose to..
I also could NOT get any of the drivers in the "manufacturer USB" packet to install... I WAS able to install the google drivers, but that also would not allow ADB to see the device... So still stuck with everyone else...
P771A possible problem
I'm having a similar problem where the USB driver downloaded through Android SDK's -> Extras -> Google USB Driver, tells me that the file contains no information about my device. I noticed in the Sources of SDK, there wasn't an API for 4.0.4, only 4.0.3 then 4.1, so i downloaded 4.0.3 repo.
============================================
my devices is on 4.0.4, and my Kernal is as follows:
3.0.8+
[email protected] #8
Wed Aug 29 09:59:19 PDT 2012
Build Number:
P771A-user 4.0.4 IMM76D user.v402.007 release-keys
============================================
I've also made sure weather Unknown Sources is on, as well as USB debugging.
Might the Kernal be the problem? Also, does it matter weather its MTP or CTP?
Now HKC is telling me that they don't support the ability to jail break their devices

Do this root apply to the s8-50F ?
EDIT: This method indeed does work on the S8-50F variant. Was having problems with device staying in adb while running program, but a reboot of pc fixed that and gained root effortlessly. THanks!
Glad It Helped !!!

The download isn't working for me. It's not downloading as a zip? Any suggestions?
If youre using windows, download a program called 7-zip and downoad the file. right click the root software and click extract here. or open with 7-zip. You could also use winrar. The format of the file is in .7z right ? that means search up http://www.7-zip.org/

Thanks both of you. I ended up returning it, root and all, but I'm sure your suggestion would have worked.
After rooting, has there been anything anybody's been able to do about battery life? I don't imagine there's been any Roms built for this device yet, but didn't know if maybe someone's figured out something that's helped extend their battery life, because when playing certain games like clash of clans for instance, I'm lucky to get an hour and a half of game play, and that's with my brightness turned all the way down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This root guide works on s8-50f! thanks Xakep
This is a very easy and usefull root instruction, i rooted my tab s8-50f with no problems.
I followed the steps described and got instant root without any issues.
My machin is windows pc with windows 8.1 pro 32bit. Plug your tab and windows recognized the drivers just make sure your device mngr shows lenovo s850 and you are all set. Then just run the flash tool and it will run in less than a minute your tablet will reboot and your tab will be rooted.
Yes this is probably the easiest I've ever rooted any device in the past. If at first it doesn't take, don't worry it will. Just repeat the process till it does. Thanks Hash.h for putting up this thread and passing along the info

Where can I download the ADB drivers for S8-50 from?
I think drivers come with tablet. Try to connect the tablet and it will show CD drive on which is the driver.
error: device offline?
I followed this with no luck. I have adb installed and running "adb devices" shows the tab connected, but when I run the tool "error: device offline" scrolls repeatedly and no root.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Worked great. Thank you.
Awesome little tablet.

Tried on another computer and succeeded.
This worked brilliantly...
but then I upgraded my firmware using the in-built system and it de-rooted. Now the exe no longer works.
New firmware is S8-50F_S000200_150121_ROW
Exe -appears- to run well, but appears to fail on the last command. Unfortunately it disappears off the screen before I can check the exact nature of the error. It appears to go fine until the final attempt to copy the SU binary into place fails with a 'File not found' error.
I've also tried the other method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-lenovo-s850-row-t2927400
The flashtool fails to find the device (I know the drivers are installed), so I'm unable to install the new boot image.
ADB shell fails
mount -o remount,rw /system
with the response
mount: Operation not permitted
so none of the 'push' operations will complete as the /system folder is read-only.
Any suggestions?

mount -o remount,rw /system
with the response
mount: Operation not permitted
so none of the 'push' operations will complete as the /system folder is read-only.
Any suggestions?

Same problem here. Lost root after the last update and now I can't get either root method to work.

[Q] Lockscreen Reset Trio (generic crap) tablet. NO debugging.

Almighty! lets get started,
I have a 64 bit computer running Windows 7 professional.
First let me mention I tried to fix this on my own. darn I tried.
Just plugging the tablet into computer shows a windows explorer page named Autoplay that let me view pictures on device on a folder named
Computer\Trio HD Elite 7.85 Tablet
Installed android-studio-bundle-141.1903250-windows in
Error- SDK required.
Downloaded jdk-7u79-windows-x64 (java development kit)-install reboot PC
Open C:\Andriod in windows explorer, open SDK Manager
A command prompt window flashes briefly, then closes.
click start, search for run key in sysdm.cpl go to advanced, environment variables create new path named JAVA_HOME that does directly to the java .exe file
(this was checked by reinstalling the java development kit, then opening Java typing where java it tells me C:\Windows\System 32 even though the path is
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79
opening ADB works!
Download Extras- Android USB Driver
open CMD key in
cd C:\Andriod\platform-tools
this brings me to the directory where Android ADB is.
abd devices
no devices detected.
Installed Samsung Kiles.
TRIED to install PDAnet.. failure.
tried to open Device manager, where a entry marked Trio HD Elite 7.85 Tablet sits, and update the driver to the C:\Andriod\extras\google\usb_driver
it complains about driver being unsigned. Using This guide I used step Two downloaded Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider (DSEO) and ran it.
went into the C:\Andriod\extras\google\usb_driver folder and manually keyed in every title in the folder.
each time program stated had signed successfully. The computer is now saying test mode in the bottom right hand corner. however trying to update driver gives same error.
I'm amusing the device needs to be in developer mode, which it cant be put into because it's locked.
The Trio Support is useless there steps do not open any settings. Also tried a list of alternate ways to open tablet recovery. and since ADB isn't reconizing the device I can't run adb reboot recovery
So. end result, im here with coffee and no milk,
A generic tablet cobbled together from who knows where,
and a locked screen.
Think you can help?
ANY assistance is appreciated.
So i have a cheap generic tablet that says Trio Stealth G4X 7.85

ADB install not working

Hello,
I own a phone(Model Number ZTE BLADE L5 PLUS) with Android 5.1 lollipop. I am trying to push install a normal apk file which doesn't need any special access. Also, my phone has way more storage space than the size of the apk. When I am trying to install the apk, it looks like it works at first with the message
"1 file pushed" with the speed of pushing the apk.
The real problem happens after a split second. It suddenly says "Error: Unknown command 'install'" and a huge list of commands which all starts with "pm" comes out. I have tried multiple times, from rebooting adb and typing in the path of the apk instead of inserting the name, but it all failed, with exactly the same issue every time. I also searched about the "adb install" command missing, but ended up wasting time only(only solutions for "adb" command not found came out)
I installed adb via Android Studio(Android SDK Platform-Tools), along with the platform suitable for Android 5.1. I didn't download the android emulator though. I hope I could get some help.
Thank You

Root for HAOQIN H7 PRO

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a tablet on Amazon, which is slowly gaining a lot of fame for its really affordable price .Unfortunately I was unable to find information on the specific rooting procedure for this device. I hope someone knows how to recommend a way to solve the problem, thanks to everyone anyway
PS: I have already tried several OneClickRoot applications like Kingo Root, KingRoot, Framaroot and 360 Root.
Tablet information:

Hi,
Unfortunately I didn't even found the firmware file for your tablet so I doubt someone will be able to root it successfully without those files.
Have a good day

My POV: Those so-called One-Click-Rooters all are crap. Most of them are heavily outdated, not applicable on devices with newer versions of Android as with Android 9 GO what is installed on your device. For example KingRoot you tried only may work on devices with Android versions up to version 5 & Framaroot you also tried only may work on device's with Android version less then Pie.
And worst: They may even inject trackers as it's reported in WEB.
In short: You have to root your device's Android manually by yourself, of course only if supported by OEM/Carrier. To verify this boot into device's Recovery and look for option "apply update from adb".
If NOT present then simply stop further reading.
How-To:
In Android's Settings->Developer options enable "USB debugging"
Install ADB-driver on your computer and make it systemwide accessible, means add its location to PATH environment variable and re-boot computer
Download SuperSU Pro
Rename the downloaded ZIP-file to update.zip and move it to folder where ADB-driver is housed
Make sure your Android is charged over 60%
Connect your Android device with computer via USB-cable
On computer open command prompt: [Win]+[R], input cmd and press Enter-key
Run commands - one by one
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot recovery
Don't close command prompt window!
In Android's Recovery menu select option " apply update from adb" and confirm by pressing power button
On computer run command
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
The zip.file will be sideloaded and written in your Android. The process will take quite a long time, so please enjoy yourself with something during the period. When it completes, you can see something like "Install from ADB complete" on the screen.
As last step on computer run command
Code:
adb reboot
Close command prompt window
You also may delete file update.zip: it's no longer needed
I hope I've made it clear to you.

Hi jwoegerbauer , thank you very much for your timely and detailed reply, sorry if I did not answer immediately.I tried with your suggestions, but when I do this step, it gives me an unrecognized device error (in fact the adb devices command give me an empty list) .Checking on google, I noticed that it is a driver problem and then the phone is not recognized in recovery mode but, always on google I was unable to find a guide to solve the problem. On the android developer site I downloaded a file zip called "usb-driver", but when I update the drivers and set this folder as a directory it gives me this error: "The specified folder does not contain a software driver compatible with the device. if there is a driver in the folder, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64 systems "
I hope it is not my mistake or that it is something resolvable anyway, I wait and trust in your further clarification if possible
@nubrox99
The driver package usb_driver_r12_windows.zip you downloaded isn't the expected one, it's only meant to be explicitely used with Google devices. Typically the USB-driver gets downloaded from OEM's/Carrier's website. If not provided by them, then the Universal ADB Driver should get installed.
