Q&A for Root Nextbook Ares 8, TWRP Recovery, Disable encryption
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for Root Nextbook Ares 8, TWRP Recovery, Disable encryption. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
In your 2nd post, I downloaded the file, but I didn't see the "remove_encryption.zip" file within it. I think the 2nd post is downloading the same file as the first post?
Download again, syncing problem.

Any chance you'll be posting all the stock img files? I formatted /data and it bricked my tablet. Ive tried everything I can from recovery. I need all the stock images minus boot obviously. Please help.

You have to flash boot.img, you do have a Nextbook 8 Ares? What stock files? Your device is stock, format data, cache, flash boot.img simple as that.
I just checked some of your posts, you been messing with your tablet, my method is to root stock tablet, unmodified tablet.
Your tablet was modified by yourself, so you need to undo what you already did.

I need the stock system.img data.img cache.img. I formatted /data and it bricked my tablet. My tab was stock and unrooted. Yes its a nextbook ares 8 with Intel Atom.

Its all good. I'll get them from Nextbook. Thanks anyway.

If you posted the stock imgs in the OP no one would brick anything as we could just manually flash the imgs to the tablets when we mess up. I had to run my first phone like this. Just using adb and fastboot to run restores when I messed with too much. You should also add that formatting /data may lead to a brick.
I tried a factory reset, it didn't work so I let it(twrp) format data(not /system) . My tab will not boot. Just bootloops at the bootani.
I may not be a dev bro but I know what Im doing. Please don't hesitate to throw testing stuff at me.

Formatting data leads to disabling encryption, not flashing the boot.img I provided, leads to tablet bootlooping so you can continue to bootloop forever, or flash the boot.img your choice.

Ok well thanx for rooting it and not answering any other questions. Why you wouldn't post them is beyond me or at the least link to them. For those who wiped system. No need to use their flashtool if you have the imgs. I have them anyway so its whatever.
You should probably fix the recovery or warn that its not even close to fully functional and only really works for flashing. Wipes don't work. Formatting anything bricks it. Im sure there is more too. It's your baby not mine. Im just trying to help you help people. I'll fix my tab fine myself. No thanx to you.
By the way I did flash the boot.img before I formatted. I dunno if that wasn't clear. And the tab still said encrypted. Also I wanted to do more than just flash the boot again. I wanted to reformat by flashing the imgs fresh. Im not exactly sure why you're being snotty but it's cool. I was trying to figure out how to push su binary thru shell but my system wasnt modified. The OP said to leave system alone. I did. I had issues anyway. I asked for more than a fix for BL. Hopefully at the least people will realize they can track down this model on nextbook.com and get the stock imgs and fix bricked tabs very easy. Also return to stock at will. Or rooted.
Sounds good have a nice day.

Snot.
By the way, flashing the boot img again did not unbrick my tablet. But what do you care, you just post half assed stuff and leave the noobs with bricked tabs.
So again I would suggest you get a hold of the stock img files and post instructions on how to flash them in the OP since you are basically responsible for over 10 bricked tabs at this point. Yeah sure I know it's all at our own risk, but you're not giving us all the tools we need, and that in my opinion means you need to take the entire post down or give us what we need to fix bricks you failed to warn us about.
Noobie Question
Hiya Vamp, I'm having a bit of a noobie problem here. In a nut-shell I can't get my fastboot tool to detect the tablet. However adb can detect it. After some quick research I found out I needed to write a udev rules file, which I did; I ran a lsusb command to get the hex id for the device. I also tried using sudo with no effect. My OS is Kubuntu 14.04 64bit, I have the 32bit libraries installed. I've never rooted a device before besides using "poot" on my old phone and I don’t even know if that really counts.
here is a quick copy of my /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules file:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f2", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="8087", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
Here is the output from adb devices:
Code:
List of devices attached
YFGV0415004049 device
The output from either sudo fastboot devices or fastboot devices is nothing, the terminal gives no errors or other kind of output; it simply displays a new prompt.
And this is the output from the lsusb command:
Code:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b008 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd USB 2.0 Camera
Bus 001 Device 013: ID 8087:0a5f Intel Corp.
Invoking the adb reboot bootloader command will reboot the device and it says "fastboot cmd waiting..." yet I still get the same output from the above commands, with or without using sudo. Anyway I'm at my wits end on this and hopefully you can point me in the right direction.
Are you using the fastboot binary I provided?

No I think I'm using the one I installed from the ppa repositories. How do I get rid of it and use yours? Can I just overwrite the existing one in my sdk/platform-tools folder with yours?
To use mine simply open terminal in folder where you extracted my files, then sudo ./fastboot devices

Awesome! You are a gentleman and a scholar good sir Yours is detecting it, and now I have it rooted and that silly encryption gone! Super easy when you use the right binary lol. Thanks for your help boss, I'm going to have allot of fun with this tablet thanks to you. How do you make your own custom tools? Do you code them in Java like most android apps? Or is it written in C? I'm still somewhat new to programming but my snake game should be bad ass on this tablet. Anyway thanks Vamp! :highfive:
As a side question: Does/did your tablet open apps and do other random things without any input when its plugged into a computer via usb cable? Mine just randomly went to the brightness setting for the display without me touching it, kinda strange, it was doing the same thing before root so I don’t think it's a problem with any data installed during the root process.
No, but there is a reported memory leak with lollipop 5, so some of us are using xposed with memory patch.
Most of my tools are compiled using cm12 source.

I just want to say for the record that I followed your directions perfectly and rooted my tablet and installed the recovery without a problem. Now I'm running an unencrypted stock rooted lollipop ROM with the latest TWRP recovery and honestly I couldn't ask for more! (Maybe CM12.1 if i'm being greedy). Thank you so much! I don't know what's wrong with everyone else. If anyone needs me to, I can upload a twrp backup or something. I'm more than willing to help in any way that I can. I basically consider myself a noob, and following your instructions was not a problem, I actually even used windows and it wasn't a problem at all.

The xposed framework installer says its incompatible with android api 21 and the x86 architecture, is it safe to install it anyway?
You have to install x86 version.

When I tryed to flash MeanICS on my evo all appeared to go well until I rebooted. After rebooting I only got a black screen. I can still boot into bootloader which gives me hope. I tryed reflashing Mean and a couple of other ROMs but the problem persists. I was hoping someone may have had a simular problem and had a fix or workaround that I could try.
Thx
Check my guide I listed this exact issue in troubleshooting, if you have any questions after feel free to ask
Thank you for your help. I now understand the problem (bootloop, caused probably by the kernel) but even a full wipe using twrp I can't get any ROMs to load, and I was not thinking and didn't make a back up.
Download a ROM and verify the check sum then unzip and place the boot.img in your adb tools (or SDK depending on what you use) boot to boot loader and select fastboot (from PC terminal, sorry) type fastboot flash boot boot.img and then in recovery try to flash the ROM zip. Be sure to wipe dalvik, cache, factory reset and system first to avoid issues
---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------
I just noticed you said black screen, that most definitely is a kernel issue but its a ROM base mismatch, you just needed to fast boot the mean kernel most likely
I had this problem literally yesterday. All you need to do is flash the boot.img located in the unzipped folder of meanrom and then flash via fast boots via pc or mac. Wipe everything first and then flash the BOOT.IMG. THEN FLASH MEAN ROM and wipe cache etc.
Sent from my EVO on CM10
Yeah I read too quickly and missed the part about the black screen. I decided it was better to outline the whole process
ok i downloaded a new rom, verified md5sum, and unzipped the rom. i also downloaded eclipse and am linking eclipse and android sdk to try and make this a little easier, i hope. i feel like such a total noob, well for the most part i am.... i guess what i am saying is that i don;t know if i am removing boot.img from zip or if i'm just checking something on the boot.img using adb
You just need adb tools, you are making this a little harder then it needs to be

Actually, do I have to manually update myself to B322? I am currently at MT2-L03C00B309 and I have no available updates for my phone. And I know CM requires you to be on B3222 to even flash it.
Also, which nightly or snapshot are you using on your ham and how is it? Is it your daily driver?

No OTA? Do you have a Consumer Cellular or what?
Also, just for anyone else reading this, sometimes trying a different cable will help your phone to be identified. (You did good updating drivers, trying a different port, etc. I just wanted to get this idea out there, too.)

I think usually fastboot should work when adb works. One thing i can think of is maybe try run the DOS prompt with admin rights? Btw, when you under fastboot, what the phone is showing in the screen? Just want to make sure you are in the correct mode.

I guess there is a fastboot mode now. I had these phones in the closet for a while. The provider had a bad singal before we went to sprint. I am digging the new b322 version of an Android. I'm tempted to replace the Note 4 for the HAM2 but I love the S-Pen. The HAM2 are all unlocked and rooted and I have 3 of them.

Hi. I am rather new to this, so please keep this in mind when I tell you what I have done.
I have a Huawei Y6 Elite. I unlocked the boot loader successfully and then tried to flash TWRP via fastboot. Somehow in this process I have flashed it to the boot partition. Now it boots to TWRP - ONLY. I can enter the recovery mode in the phone but that doesn't offer much.
The phone is NOT rooted.
Please, can someone offer me some kind of solution...??
Is it possible to flash the original firmware via TWRP and start again? If so, can someone PLEASE point me to a link to download it.
The firmware version I need is Huawei Y6 Elite LYO-L02 C718B123.
Any help would be appreciated incredibly. Thank you.
Follow this link.. Hope.. you will find your stock rom..

And if you find the stock rom...
Then
extract the zip file which contains the rom. you'll find a folder name dload
send this dload folder to your sdcard's root directory
put the sdcard in your phone
now power on your device by pressing Vol+, Vol- and Power button at the same time.
it will start installing the official rom
Note: It will only work with Stock Recovery.
If you don have stock recovery then
Download Huawei Update Extractor
Extract the Recovery from downloaded UPDATE.APP in dload folder
put the recovery in your fastboot folder
flash the Stock recovery using fastboot
Thanks for responding.
I did follow the link and use the firmware finder, however I can't work out how to download any firmware versions.
Also I did not have any luck with the update extractor.
Is there a slightly more simplified way you can explain it. I can't seem to get my head around it.
Again, thanks for any and all help. It is greatly appreciated.

Hi helijoy,
This might be quite late, but I can help you if you can give me your /system image. If you're certain you have TWRP on your boot partition, I can give you stock boot. To extract /system, go into TWRP>Mount, select System, make sure you have adb set up (google it if not) and do these commands (from adb):
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/system.img
exit
adb pull /sdcard/system.img C:/
(replace C: with where ever you want to save it to).
Then upload the file (system.img) to something like mega or google drive and post the link here.

Hi helijoy,
system is already selected so you do not have to do anything else. Just follow the rest of the instructions from your computer with your phone plugged in and booted to TWRP.
Thanks~

Hi moonlighter,
Can you please link to which root checker app you used? Did you remember to open SuperSU first and upgrade binaries? If not, please do so. After that's done, clear data of the root checker and try again. Also, if possible, try another root checking app.
Awaiting your response,

Hi moonlights,
As I already have said, ensure your SU binaries are up to date by opening SuperSU. And, if it's not too much to ask for, can you please go to TWRP, backup system and upload it somewhere? I was messing around with system and now I'm kind of stuck. It would be greatly appreciated if you could do this, as I have an an unusable phone.
Thanks again,

Ok... I think I must be doing something wrong.
I am sure I have ADB setup correctly though.
How exactly do you "do those commands" from ADB?
Sorry for the dense questions.
Cheers.

Hi helijoy,
You said you have already used fastboot to flash TWRP. Now all you need to do is boot into TWRP, plug it in to your computer and run the commands I gave you exactly like how you ran fastboot flash recovery ......

Hi again helijoy,
Another thing you can do is go to TWRP>Backup and backup everything (if you don't have any space left, just do recovery, boot and system; does are the important ones). Take this backup, upload it to something like MEGA or Google Drive and post the link here. To get this backup, do the steps in TWRP, and then connect it to your computer. Open explorer, go to the phone in This PC, ang check both Internal Storage and MicroSD Card. It will be in the TWRP>Backups folder, and the folders name will have a date and time.just upload this entire folder and post the link here.
Thanks,

Hello I'm new to this the only phone I rooted was way back when u just had to throw some files on your phone install and your good, anyway thst being said I can't figure out how to root my phone I have a lg tribute empire (mcv1s) x220 android Oreo 8.1. I have heard you need a unlocked bootloader to do roots now however when I do try to unlock my bootloader with the platform-tools it does not boot into fast boot mode and in recovery mode it shoes unauthenicated device, no fastboot devices showing up, I feel like I should mention that I have tryed just about every ****ing driver I could find and tutorial if anyone could give me some guidance that would be great. P.S. sorry for the long type out

I don't have this device myself and there's very little (maybe 1-2) threads that discusses the LG Tribute Empire (LM-X220PM) device.
But there's some hope!
Since this device has a MediaTek MT6750 Chipset with a 64-bit Processor, you can always try to go in that direction.
The following thread would be a good start for what you are looking for...

You really don't need to keep me posted...
I had just provided you with a bit of information to help out with a boost/alternative route for what you're looking for.

sadly i dont think its possible yet
I don't know if things have changed for new MediaTek devices (regarding FRP) but i would recommend to read a lot about SP Flash Tool, especially how to make a full ROM dump (read back), what is a scatter file, and why it is important to never flash the preloader. if you get managed to install the MediaTek MT65xx USB VCOM Preloader Drivers (which works best with battery removed), you should be able to make a backup (= read back) from SP Flash Tool.
If this first step fail for some new security features (i don't know), don't go further here...
If you not absolutely sure that a scatter file is matching your partition layout, do not flash anything!
Next (non-invasive) thing is to get fastboot working. you can reboot to bootloader, which is just another name for fastboot mode. this can be done from recovery, from a working adb, or with the proper key combo. once you see the device serialno after typing "fastboot devices" you managed this step.
Then you can go over to read about Magisk. rooting with Magisk is easy, all you have to do is provide your original boot.img to the Magisk Manager, then (invasive) flash the patched_boot.img.
Before flashing, take the decision if you are willing to factory reset your device.
If yes, first disable FRP (= enable OEM unlocking). then unlock your bootloader from fastboot. This will trigger FACTORY RESET! if you are afraid about flashing, first just boot the magisk patched_boot.img from fastboot without flashing it. then you can flash your magisk patched_boot.img from fastboot, too. i will not post fastboot syntax here because it differs for (non-)A/B devices
If no, you can try to flash (= Download) magisk patched_boot.img from SP Flash Tool. This should work with locked bootloader (at least it worked for older devices). Maybe you have to remove some checksum (files, or inside scatter file, i don't know). Again, most important: Make 100% sure you use the right scatter file (a successfully magisk patched boot.img from read back is not a bullet-proof indicator, but regarding the boot(a/b) partition(s) it may sufficient)
If the rooting fail for some reason or your device is not working anymore, flash back the full ROM dump with same scatter file you used for read back. This should restore it's original state (again, do not flash preloader!)
lg tribute empire
the majisk root does sound interesting, do you think i can have a copy of the boot.img or can you post thanks, i also found build a twrp for lg mtk i might try

anyone found anything ?
You can create a boot.img with SP Flash Tool by yourself (ROM dump/readback)
a rainbow
i dont have a p.c, i just figured someone might post a boot.img or something of use for someone else
without pc you can't flash boot.img or recovery.img
i was going to flash from my spare phone witch is rooted put adb/fastboot in xbin, im not sure if it works on the mtk

theres a twrp for the lmx210ma which might be looked at or modded, the lmx220ma is the empire
then try 'fastboot boot twrp.img' once in twrp install magisk.zip. but thus requires unlocking bootloader (factory reset)

so like I was saying I need a boot.IMG or copy, if adb doesn't work I reset my computer or phone and used cwroot (the one that uses a script) root.sh to get the adb shell, that or factory reset the empire, and computer, reinstall adb ... thanks
fastboot only works from usb cable and is not related to adb. If you want to flash boot.img from adb you need a root shell. If you have a root shell you can dump boot.img by yourself with dd. If you find stock ROM you can extract boot.img from download, but you won't be able to flash boot.img without root shell, twrp or fastboot. besides this you need to unlock bootloader (which is only possible from fastboot) in order to get the capability to disable dm-verity, otherwise your phone won't boot with modified boot partition (and may become soft-bricked)
Another root method is bootless root
I strongly recommend you don't make things over-complicated and just find a pc you can use for 1/2 hour
maybe your device comes shipped with fastboot disabled?
