Recovery mode
Go to recovery mode.
Do you have Android SDK installed in your machine or any Linux substitute in case you are a Linux user? You'll need it.
Read before attempting.
-Find the key combinations that applies to your phone.
-Get into recovery mode pressing the specific keys.
-Connect your device through USB port.
-Write in terminal or cmd:
Code:
adb devices
-if a device is connected proceed, if not, find what's going on.
-Write in terminal or cmd:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
-Find the desired ROM (The one made for your device or a previous system backup that you have made when the phone still worked), ensure it's safe and specific made for your phone.
-There must appear some options showing in your phone screen or maybe the Android robot laying on its back, you'll need to see the options, click buttons until you see them.
-Choose the line that says "apply update from ADB".
-Use the command in Terminal or cmd:
Code:
adb sideload yourzipfile.zip
-It must be a zip file, sometimes you need to unzip the zip file just to find another zip file (usually named update.zip)
-It must show the robot in a different position and some yellow lines showing you the progress, if something goes wrong you'll know, if everything goes fine, good.
-Restart the phone and you're done.
If you can't load the file with adb sideload command, copy the zip file in the SD card and choose apply update from SDcard from the recovery menu, locate the zip file and apply it.
You should be fine if you use the right Android version or backup.
Good luck. If this doesn't works or goes easy as I say, let me know.

Prerequisites:
Can boot into recovery
A working bootanimation.zip
Adb....if you dont have it download minimalistic adb and fastboot for windows.
Okay lets get down to business....
1.First boot into recovery and then select apply update from adb and type -'adb devices'
This will open up the comms port and start adb comms with the device.
2.Now type adb push <bootanimationfile>.zip system/media/
3.and voila you will have revived youtlr device.
Hit thanks if this helped.

Here's what you do.
Download the file linked below
Download ODIN attached below
Once both are downloaded, extract PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar
Boot your tablet into ODIN and plug it into your PC
Open the ODIN program on your PC and check the box next to PDA
Click the PDA button and navigate to the file you downloaded earlier
Press Start and let it flash
Once it is done, it will still boot loop.
You need to go into recovery (It will now be the default recovery) and wipe data/factory reset only.
Reboot and it should load up, however you will be on 3.0.1.
You can get back to 3.1 by rooting and installing recovery again or by using the update feature in the tablet's settings.
Good luck!

Hi All,
I am done the ODIN step, but it still in bootloop mode. I dont know how to do with the Fastboot recover mode. I tried with my Windows 7 and it can't recognized my fastboot driver and stay in the <waiting for device>. Is there any solution for me. Thank you so much.

Hello, I have also followed these directions however I am having issues rebooting into recovery using adb.
When I execute adb devices no devices are found.
Any additional help would be appreciated. Thanks
UPDATE:
Success!! I was able to correct the boot loop problem by installing fastboot on a linux machine and running sudo fastboot -w. Also my tablet was in fastboot mode (Power + Volume down, then Select the usb symbol).
Instructions for installing fastboot were found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14675422&postcount=2
boot looping SOLVED! Honeycomb 3.1 google i/o galaxy tab 10.1
[IO TAB] Boot looping? Try this to get your tab back...
I had an issue with my IO 10.1 Tab boot looping. I imagine that this would work for retail as well but have not tried it.
This process will factory reset your device.
You will need fastboot and recovery.img to boot into recovery in order to perform a factory reset.
Fastboot & Stock IO recovery comes from this post as an attachment at the bottom.
You need adb to continue (windows).
1. Extract files to where adb resides (platform-tools folder in android SDk main folder) e.g
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools .
2. Plug your tab in to a power source and then hold down the power button until it shuts down. Wait until the tab displays the charging battery.
3. Press and hold the volume down (left button in landscape) and power buttons until the usb and odin icons show up. Volume down to move left and volume up to select the usb logo. Now you should be in fastboot. Plug the usb into your computer.
4. Time to fire up adb!
Start / run / cmd , cd\,
Than, cd to your platform-tools folder or wherever your adb is at. (should be in platform-tools inside of android-sdk-windows)
5. In cmd type "adb start-server" without quotes to start adb. All comands should exclude quotes.
6. Type "fastboot devices" your device serial should appear!If not:
Edit the “<PATH TO ANDROID SDK>\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf” file and copy/paste the following lines and add them to the [Google.NTx86] section (for 32bit Windows) and/or [Google.NTamd64] (for 64bit Windows).
NO Empty line above this set, though galaxy tab 10.1v but works for all variants!(tab detected as adb xxx device)
;Galaxy Tab 10.1v
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860&REV_9999&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860&MI_01
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6601
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
;
Download the fastboot zip attached to this post (includes both Win and Linux version) and extract the files to your “<PATH TO ANDROID SDK>\platform-tools” folder
7. Now, type "fastboot boot recovery.img"
8. Now you should boot into recovery. For "adb command lines" to work boot with clockworkmod recovery img (Command and files here: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2032)
If you want to try other stuff like push a system restore, kernel or whatever, now you can. If you fail at it, you can always repeat the steps leading up to this point to get back to recovery.
9. Time to just get the tab back! Select "wipe data/factory reset" and confirm, clear cache.
10. After that is done select "reboot device".
Credits to JASKRU from rootwiki, with some additions and modifications extracted from different sources!
for rooting the tab install the zip file from this post in recovery mode (loading recovery.img from fastboot):
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2054
P.S don't reboot into recovery with adb command "adb reboot recovery" as it doesn't work, correct way is with fastboot command as mentioned in step 7!
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
FIRST STEP: add the attached fastboot files into the container folder of adb (in sdk folder)
This is mine:
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
of course I did that and mine is in the same folder as yours
I get to step six and thats when it gives me the error
E:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fast boot devices
'fast' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
also when I go to the left instead of odin this is my pic (in attachment)
NOW if I hit the power button and the right on in landscape mode I do get the android system recovery options says Android System Recovery <3e> (pic attached)
I have tried wiping date clearing cache as far as fastboot goes it still doesnt let me in fastboot eventhough im not sure at this point what fastboot even is
I finally got CWM 4.0.0.4 on it but now what because somehow im on 3.0.1 on my tab it wont charge and idk what to do
These steps were tested on 3.1.can you update your firmware from kies or on device?fastboot is needed to boot into the recovery image as in your pic which you already have managed being in older firmware.
E:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fast boot devices
I believe something is still wrong, did you extract the contents of zip file in the platform-tools or the complete folder?Second, how was your tab once in fastboot recongnized by windows it should be as an adb. Device and not fastboot. Third, try manually installing the driver from extras folder, google, usb in android sdk. Last is your system 64bit or 32bit as the modification in inf file should be made accordingly. The only issue is driver or fastboot exe not being in adb folder.
Adding, once in recovery as in the pic, try command adb devices and let know if your device is detected hence you can push a restore fileto your device and reboot or push original recovery.zip file and apply it from sdcard (internal memory).
Last try odin option and flash firmware as tar file mentioned in this forum, try the bootloop or blank screen threads.
tried this route but it cannot find my device via ADB - used the PDANet driver - note i did not get a driver in the extras folder
ideas?

solved my problem -
first fastboot.exe is located in the android-sdk\tools directory. i copied it to my android-sdk\platform-tools directory
Then i get into the tablet's fastboot mode (holding down power + volume down, then select the USB icon) i plug in the cable to my PC's USB, then go to device manager and you should see a fastboot device with an exclamation mark. right click on this and select update driver then navigate to android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver directory and select android_winusb.inf - it should now install the driver
open up a cmd window and follow the instructions highlighted above starting at step 7

IN Short, follow the steps in my previous post from 1st till end! Flashing the bootloader file from my thread in development section, is easiest way. Replacing fastboot with recovery option in bootscreen solves many issues for non-developers!
yes and i should add your method was very effective ! thanks
what threw me off initially was not finding the fastboot.exe which was in a different folder and the usbdriver - which needed to be installed separately and can be found by launching SDK manager, selecting Available packages-Third-party Add ons-Google Inc - Google USB Driver Package revision 4

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 boot loop
Edit: *Fixed!* Ok, so here is my advice to all you other noobs who bricked your tablet, be AWARE that your tablet actually is conscious, it chooses when it wants to work. Just do everything it says on here, all the fixes I have listed, reboot a bunch of times, yell at it, and when you cry a true tear of pain and remorse, and it splashes down on the surface, it will recognize this and all of a sudden work. Booted to 3.0.1 and going to update, that all that is holy.
Hi Guys, I am having the same problem and need some expert advice please, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Android Honeycomb 3.1, running Windows XP Pro SP3
I've gone over every solution to this problem on xda over two days and none have worked for me, either that or i'm not doing it correctly.
I successfully rooted my Tab a few days ago, then tried to install a 'boosted' theme and everything is messed up now. When I boot it just hangs on the samsung loading screen, and it reboots to the same screen.
I have tried wiping data/factory reset in cwm
I have tried wiping cache partition
I have tried running Odin through downloading mode
I have adb and fastboot installed on my computer
I have Samsung Android adb interface driver in Device Manager
I have PDAnet installed
When I boot holding the volume down and power button to get the two options, the only two options I have are the Odin Downloading green guy on the right, and an icon with a box and an arrow coming out of it that takes me to CWM on the left.
So I cannot choose fastboot mode on the Tab, when I try to run 'fastboot flash system new.img' through cmd.exe it just says < waiting for device >
I"m a total noob to this and should have left well enough alone when I successfully rooted it, i'm sure I must be just missing a small step, if I could get a bit of guidance it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

How-To: Unbrick Dell Venue 8 7840

Full Disclaimer: All credit for this goes to @enzymeyllw, whose guide I followed. It looks like that guide has gone offline (and has been cloned on a few dozen shameless websites), so I thought I'd rewrite it for the sake of anyone else needing help.

- Boot.img: https://mega.co.nz/#!Fk4FUSza!1gY1RjvnEI_HS0zk17WTHiywXFWc1VOCH-P2V5fVFPI
1. Phone Flash Tool
- Install USB drivers (if on Windows)
- Install Phone Flash Tool Lite
- Run PFT, open "Dell_Venue_8_7840_Lollipop_5.0.2_qs_rd_opensource-blankphone-userdebug-1397.zip"
- Select "flash-DD0_BB.xml" and flash it
- Tablet will restart in bootloader, flashing isn't done yet, so wait
- Sometimes it can be hard to get the progress bar past 4% before things fail. Just keep trying if this happens, it'll randomly work.
2. Tethered Recovery ("IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015.7z")
- Unpack the system image (from "system.zip") to a convenient directory
- With tablet still in Bootloader mode, open app, select CWM mode, then T4
- Phone will restart in CWM once everything loads
3. Flash system
- Go to the mounts / format area, format "/system" and then unmount it
- Insert Micro SD card and mount it
- Format "/external_sd"
- On computer, type "adb push <path-to-system.img> /external_sd/", wait for it to finish
- When finished, type "adb shell" to enter the device shell (make sure the prompt is "~ #" to make sure you are root (or type "whoami" at the prompt to confirm root)
- (If not root, restart to bootloader and trigger the tethered recovery again. You should be root this time.)
- Type in "dd if=/external_sd/system.img of=/dev/block/by-name/system" and wait for it to finish
- When finished, type "exit" on your computer to close the shell
- Reboot the device (to bootloader)
4. Flash boot
- Back on the computer, type in "fastboot devices" to confirm the tablet is connected
- Type "fastboot flash boot <path-to-boot.img" in order to flash the boot
5. Reboot
- On the device, tell it to boot normally
- Wait. It's a first-boot so it's gonna be a bit slow as the cache is built and whatnot
6. Enjoy!
7. (Optional) Root using the Update-SU.zip using the tethered mode again.
I noticed that it won't take any updates so this leaves you vulnerable to the Stagefright bug. It also sometimes boots to the bootloader and waits to you to select normal boot. Sorry. (Anyone know how to help?)

Any news? I'm stuck at 5.0.2. I wonder if it's possible to port cyanogenmod.
Hey there! Super helpful tutorial and most helpful so far that I found! However, my tablet just goes black after I press Normal Boot and just stays that way. Also when performing ADB Shell (Mac) for some reason it stays in the shell for few seconds and goes back. Any ideas why that might be happening? On top of that I can only enter the shell command really quickly so I have no idea when it finishes copying system.img across... Any help would be appreciated!
Hi guys,
does this method flash the 7840 with a 5.0.2 image or with a 5.1 one?
Thanks
I tried and I can reply to myself: it restores a clean 5.0.2 image ...
EDIT: xposed framework work perfectly on 5.0.2 . I'm perfectly happy with it now
Guys, please disable Driver Signature before installing ANYTHING on your PC to mod, change or rescue your DELL 7840
Intels Platform Flash Tool wont flash ( ifwi error ), and tethered recovery wont upload through bootloader
took me a while to realise itself, even though i did it many many times, after not doing for couple of years, i almost forgott that you need to allow unsigned driver installatino before
have grait ****,

What if you can't boot into fastboot mode? When I try to boot into fastboot, the screen only shows a battery logo with a question mark inside. I saw that there's a fix for this problem on Intel processor devices like the Zenfone and Del Venue 8 3840 using xFSTK Downloader. But that requires dnx_PRQ.bin and droidboot.img.POS.bin, which I don't Dell ever released. Any solved this problem before?
Flash tool wont detect tablet
So i would love to try this out, im new to this whole thing and have the problem that the flashtool cant find my device
Any Tips ?
I'm unable to get further then 3%, at best. my tablet starts and shows USB icon, nothing more.
anybody has solved this ever ? has unbricked this model ? I have searched everywhere, not found any one person who solved this with usb ICON showing.
please help, if you know how to .
Intel Flashing
You need to use 'On Demand Flash" option from Intel Flash Tool. Start flashing from computer and continue on your device.
For Venue 7840
- Unplug
- Power off
- Press and hold both Volume keys
- Plug USB cable
- Release keys
It will start loading automatically
I've use Intel Flash Tool Lite 5.3.2

Use fastboot to flash the stock ROM instead of Intel flash tool. (If you know what you're doing, just read the part in blue below.)
fastboot is for Android devices, whether they have Qualcomm or Intel processors. Using Intel Flash tool is more akin to using Qualcomm's QPST for flashing, which is also something that should only be attempted
after trying fastboot. The Intel flash tool expects the .zip file to be in a format such as a Chuwi ROM with Windows is. Intel Flash tool unfortunately doesn't expect the .zip to be in the Android format like Acer's stock
ROM "AV0L0-something.zip" is.
With the tablet off, and plugged into your computer, hold both volume buttons and power it on. (You probably already knew this step, but here just in case )
It will vibrate longer than it usually does when turning on.
The screen should indicate that the device is in download, or "dnx" mode.
Open a command prompt in administrator mode,(the title of the window should say "Administrator: Windows Command Prompt" or "Administrator: <current directory>")
Type:
Code:
fastboot
If command not found, then either copy fastboot.exe into System32, or add the path it is in to your PATH variable, or simply navigate to its directory within the command prompt.
If you're not familiar with the PATH variable, you can just shift+right-click on fastboot.exe, click "Copy Path" and then paste it into the command prompt to use it's full path in place of simply "fastboot".
Once you're able to type "fastboot" or paste the full path and press enter and it returns the fastboot help message, type:
Code:
fastboot devices
this will either return a single line containing your device's serial number, or it will return nothing at all
If you see a serial number, you're in business.
(make sure the tablet is not low on battery before you continue):
Type:
fastboot update <path to ROM .zip>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This should initiate a full reflashing of the stock ROM. The tablet will reboot a couple times, you should hear/feel an even longer vibration during the process, do not touch it or unplug it from the computer until it is at the initial Google device setup screen waiting for your input.
Note that this full reflashing will also overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery.
if "fastboot devices" returns nothing at all, and also doesn't say "command not found" then do the following:
open device manager on computer, find the tablet's driver (may be under portable devices, or COM ports. sometimes under USB.)
if you can't find it, look for an "unknown device" with a yellow exclamation mark on it. If you see that, then you may not have had the driver installed in the first place. To verify, unplug the tablet from the computer
and see if the unknown device disappears from device manager.
If you were able to find the tablet in device manager, then right click and "Uninstall Device" and be sure to check the box to uninstall the driver software as well before clicking OK.
Then, unplug the tablet from your computer if you haven't already.
Download the latest driver from the same place on Acer's website that you downloaded the stock ROM from. Install the driver and restart your computer if it says it needs to.
Afterward, ensure the tablet is off and try the steps above again.

[Q]PadFone S MM able to root?

Hi. New to this device. Just to check has anyone successfully root this device on the Marshmallow 6.0?
I did read around for a solution but only saw the lollipop-root-method.
Thanks in advance!

Still no solution found. Anyone?
Sent from my SM-G900FD using Tapatalk
I can't figure out root on 6.0.1 either. I just upgraded from rooted 5.0.1 to 6.0.1 using TWRP on WW version of firmware with Padfone S. I immediately flashed SuperSU from TWRP after flashing the update, but the update still broke root. Tried both Kingroot APK and Kingoroot APK + PC without success.
Thanks for that update martingriffis! At least we know that didn't work.
Anyone else has any other solution?

Asus Padfone S Marshmallow Rooted *Working*
If you like me 'get the device and direct update to latest MM', then you need to do something like this.
First you need the device and a computer.
Next is get all files from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62352276&postcount=2 and skip the old supersu and use the new version here https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip
After that enter the device into fastboot mode (Turn on while hold vol up and it will vibrate once and stuck at Asus logo)
Connect the usb to computer, open adb (extract fastboot and adb.rar to new folder, inside it right-click on empty place while holding [Shift] on keyboard, and see for 'Open command window here')
Write first 'fastboot devices' (without quote) to check if the computer detect your device with '(font+number) fastboot' in cmd.
If is working, then you can go to the next step. If not maybe need to get some adb driver to make it working.
Next is extract twrp_2.8.7.0.rar into the adb folder, make sure it is .img file.
At cmd, write 'fastboot flash recovery twrp_2.8.7.0.img' and press enter. If you see some line like this 'remote: can't flash unsigned image' is actually working.
After that write 'fastboot reboot' and press vol down so the device will immediately enter the recovery mode. If working the device will enter TWRP perfectly (opening sometime it will say something about 'read-only', just press 'Back' to get the actual TWRP menu) but if the device just straight boot normally, you need to do the flash recovery back because it failed.
At TWRP menu choose mount, and put some CrowLock_RC3.zip and SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip from your computer to your device folder.
Press back at TWRP and flash the CrowLock_RC3.zip to unlock bootloader first (if you do not see this file, just press 'storage...' at top and choose the actual storage). After done you need to reboot the device and enter fastboot mode again (If you want to make sure your device still working, can just reboot it normally but do back fastboot mode again after that)
Next is flash the old recovery asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img. Same step as before. After your reboot the device and enter recovery mode, your screen device will go to black. Actually is working, you just need to press power on once or twice to make the TWRP screen visible.
Next is flash the SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip just like how you flash the CrowLock_RC3.zip before. You can wipe dalvik/cache after that or maybe not, then reboot. Your device will bootloop once and after that you can enjoy your device with root working.
To make sure your device have rooted, use Root Checker. For the first time, supersu will make a long time to prompt it but after that it should working normally like the previous day you use.
Has to be SuperSu 2.79, any higher won't work.
After finished instal twrp 2.7.1.1 and sucess i try to sigin twrp again and My screen change black and i press power once or twice but keep black no change
Can you help me..thx
If your have linux, you can install android-tools, then use fastboot from there.

Oops, I forgot that step ...
@wric01 is it true then? Thou when im download the SuperSU.zip that time its still the latest so i thought any latest version should be working.
@Paidi86 just make sure you follow the tutorial correctly.
@xdej well, cuz for smartphone android device, im actually too prefer with 'flash' instead 'install', well for me its still the same meaning.
I got root with my personnal open-source files:
Code:
# /system/bin/id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root), context=u:r:init:s0
How I got there:
(1) install Termux from Google Play
(2) in /data/data/com.termux/files/home, put "CrowLock_RC3.zip" and "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip".
(3) Install version v19 (will be uploaded soon) of https://sourceforge.net/p/gentooandroid/wiki/InstallingInstructions/ using EPREFIX=/data/data/com.termux/usrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l and PLACE_LD=/data/data/com.symli/n/3 following all instructions (that took me half a day, this installs Gentoo on your phone; if you want I can make an easier way). Don't add any package with emerge, this is not needed at this point.
(4) Download twrp_2.8.7.0.rar from https://mega.nz/#!GwRRBBjT!8ms39GK62...aKA816Cg4lsQr0
checksums with sha1sum:
8dc6b577d04fbd05ff31d3dedca7cf51d7bfef22 twrp_2.8.7.0.img
1d784bde5339054ed27ff38fb17e1368f95d6dcb twrp_2.8.7.0.rar
(5) Connect it to a computer, then power Off the phone, keep "vol up" button pressed before it switches off.
(6) If you did not connect it to a computer, press "power" button
(7) the phone powers on, vibrate a bit, you can release the buttons "power" and "vol up".
(8) you now need another computer. If it is a linux computer, install package android-tools , then run, as root: fastboot flash recovery twrp_2.8.7.0.img ; if it is a windows computer, issue the equivalent instruction with fastboot.exe downloaded from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62352276&postcount=2 (checksums with sha1sum:
e01c22dc34e915bca88de2c73966b807b2b39f26 fastboot.exe
eb9ce15bebcfb63a5cb4c24913aba76c8d319287 fastboot_and_adb.rar) ; whether you have a mac or no, also download fastboot from https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide.html You can ignore the erro "remote: can't flash unsigned image' is actually working": it nevertheless did works.
(9) keep "vol down" pressed on the phone.
(10) on linux, execute: fastboot reboot ; on windows, fastboot.exe reboot I guess
(11) after it vibrates, you can now release "vol down". select "enter recovery mode", then validate with the power button. The phone boots twrp, which is a sort of equivalent of init=/bin/sh on linux.
(12) in twrp, select "keep read-only", then use "install", then select "/data/data/com.termux/files/home/CrowLock_RC3.zip", validate, then repeat steps (5) to (11).
(13) in twrp, select "keep read-only", then use "install", then select "/data/data/com.termux/files/home/SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip", validate, then repeat steps (5) to (11) (if you skips entirely step (13), the phone will not be able to boot).
(14) in twrp, select "advanced", then "terminal command", then select directory /data/data/com.termux/usrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/usr/local/bin as working directory
(15) execute: mount /system
(16) execute: mv /system/bin/app_process32 /system/bin/app_process.wrapped (you will first need to use backspace to remove characters of previous command, "mount /system")
(17) execute: cp app_process_wrapper /system/bin/app_process32
(18) execute: chgrp shell /system/bin/app_process32
(19) execute: umount /system
(20) use back button three times, and select reboot, then select system.
(21) it should boot normally. It did on my asus padfone S and on my asus padfone S+ (the only padfone with 3GB of RAM).
(22) open tmux, inside it, execute:
Code:
ssh -p 64000 [email protected]
(23) you will be asked the root password that you used at step (2)
if you want to add packages, remember to use
Code:
ssh -p 64000 [email protected]
before using Gentoo's installer:
Code:
PORTAGE_BINHOST=http://sourceforge.net/projects/gentooandroid/files/packages/packages emerge --autounmask-write -GKv firefox

You can replace step (2) with any other provider of sshd binary:
(2bis) ignore step (2),
(2ter) put any binary you want to be executed with selinux context u:r:init:s0 at /data/data/com.termux/usrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/usr/local/bin/sshd_root
(2quater) download app_process_wrapper binary
/data/data/com.termux/usrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/usr/local/bin/app_process_wrapper from the attachment in this message
Then proceed from step (3) onwards.
This may work for other phones supported by twrp, I did nothing asus-specific.
No need to install old recovery. just fastboot your device (power on and vol up) and then do `.fastboot boot asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img` it'll boot the old recovery.
Make sure to put supersu in device memory, not sdcard.
The method you give is much simple then the rest. Just want to know if the custom recovery mode is able to enter without unlocked bootloader?

my sister is very grateful
Thank you very much.
What build date has this rom? Sec. patches?
Can you please post your local manifest?
Very interesting guide, unfortunately the links don't work...
Is it possible to restore them?
Tanks. Max
I think its first guide how to do it because every other guides were for TB2-X30F but not for TB2-X30L.
I have only found lineage os for x30l, can someone please link lineage (Android 7) for x30f?
The difference between L and F is that L is the sim card variant. Ive read several people getting "insert sim card" when installing L on a F tablet. So I dont want messages like this.
Thanks for this tutorial. It was possible, to upgrade this old Tablet.
Do you know, if there is anything newer version for our Lenovo?

The tablet can also run on LineageOS 16 which is Android 9.
As I saw that the guys in the Russian 4PDA-Forum had been able to create a LiOS16, I was able to make some adjustments and compile a ROM with most recent security patches which now runs on my good old TB2-X30L / TAB2 A10-30:

it seems that google drives are off. Can someone re-upload please?
Hallo,
I have installed LiOS14-UNOFFICIAL-TB2-X30L.zip. The installation was without problems.
But I am having problem with WiFi - problem of MAC 02:00:00:00:00:00. I have tried a lots of tips but nothig worked. Two times I was succesfull to set some MAC, but always, after while, it was gone. No able to reproduce to set.
Is it really so difficult to set somehow the MAC addres for the WiFi?
As I understand the setting of the MAC differs between different releases of OS. Does anybody know how it work in this release? It should by known where this relaese expects the MAC setting. Am I right?
1. temporary succes: Setting MAC in system/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/wlan_mac.bin (I think. Its longer time ago and there was more attempts). It lasted for few months. It is not mine device so I don't know how it was handled.
2. temporary succes: I copied system/etc/firmware/wlan dir to system/vendor/firmware/wlan. I did it based on how it is in Samsung Galaxy S4 mini with Lineage 16. It worked. After restart I had to swith off and on the airplane mode to set MAC. After few attempts it was gone. No able to reproduce to set the MAC.
I am not Linux expert

Thank you very much, install your rom on my TB2-X30F and it goes very well, the only drawback that I present is that the wifi is very slow but the rom is excellent, thank you very much for your work.

After few day i find out solution how to install custom ROM to my Lenovo tablet. I think its first guide how to do it because every other guides were for TB2-X30F but not for TB2-X30L.
Installation guide:
FILES TO DOWNLOAD:
ALL FILES: https:// drive.google.com/drive/folders/1heVQAryphuXNVt5k-HsUhfRrVr9MV34D
ALL LINKS WORK ! JUST DELETE THE SPACE BEFORE drive.google.com...​
1) On the tablet, at Settings, you must activate on the Developer Options the Bootloader Unlock (OEM unlocking) and USB debugging. Uncheck Verify apps over USB.
How to unlock Developer: https: //youtu.be/g5wkFAWDsg0
2) Download these files directly to your Android device, not to SD card.
a) https:// drive.google.com/file/d/1230xFbPA7DOGMhuX59yagEd6w1gNCI4o/view SuperSU-v2.79.zip (for me working only v2.79)
b) https:// drive.google.com/file/d/1vRW5RZixtNVfKbJ7nL2EUetANydfmLNg/view Gapps.zip (open_gapps-arm-7.1-micro-20180721)
b) https:// drive.google.com/file/d/13Mp8guzzOvb17s88IQyez_9reozpTNbw/view boot.img (from LiOS14-UNOFFICIAL-TB2-X30L)
3) Power off completely the tablet.
4) REMOVE SD CARD ! (because for me a part of system was installed on SD card).
5) Make sure you have a good cable so the connection between PC and tablet is perfect.
6) Download https: //drive.google.com/file/d/1XTDYs7kxagj-CXHsH_yyQnMXqYwAP_hK/view ADB and Fastboot to your PC .(here are the drivers too).
7) Unzip the zip archive and run with Administrator the apps from inside of the zip. To all the questions you must to press key Y to grant all the rights it needs.

9) From stock recovery select reboot to bootloader by using volume keys and power keys.
10) Wait about 5-10sec to tablet boot in bootloader mode. (shows lenovo logo in screen when ready)
11) Download the https:// drive.google.com/file/d/15IH55DgmD6SmlILjTukGeNcmYgUPcmCg/view recovery.img(its TWRP version for Lenovo Tab2 x30f so it wont work properly) and copy it into folder adb at local disk C (installed on step 7)
12) Run CMD with administrator and type cd C:\adb to select the adb folder.
13) In cmd type fastboot unlock-go and press enter. In case this command does not work, please try fastboot -s or fastboot oem unlock-go or fastboot oem unlock .
14) Flash recovery with command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then type fastboot boot recovery.img
15) From TWRP select Install and browse to emmc folder and then to your folder where you stored all files you downloaded.
(in bottom right corner you have Images... or Zips... here you can choose what type of file you want to install.
