To root Huawei Mediapad T1 8.0 PRO LTE T1-821L
Build No: T1-821LV100R001C178B007 (I guess it should work on older builds too)
Use KingRoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
or
http://www.kingroot.net/
Worked fine for me, purify app from the developer also installs automatically unfortunately.
Again your warranty may be void after rooting.
What about unlocking the bootloader? Custom recovery? A have no idea any ideas?

Bootloader unlocking can be officially done through registering on huawei's Chinese website (don't worry just choose english lang) and following "refomatting lock" guide: https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
On custom recovery and ROM: no developer is working on that, as far as I know. I've started to research it but I have very limited experience on building custom recovery from source and I haven't found one developed to a similar device to port it.

Preciselly, what unlocking the bootlader is needed for?
As mentioned above root can be done readily just running KingRoot...

A unlocked the bootloader but really was a waste of time if we hav no custom recovery and rom wish a never bought this tablet
Why? What to take into account when buying a tablet?
And is it anything one could mod with this model once one has it already at hand?
Rooted mine as well with KingRoot.
You can freeze Purify now since you are rooted.
You can install Xposed Framework as well, Any version before 2.6 is working fine.
KingRoot does its job well indeed! However there is a problem with applying
Super-Sume afterwards. It's strange, on other KK devices it went smoothly...

there is a thread on how to replace kingroot supersu or such. with each kingroot update they try to block the replacement
Ponder not exactly the case the latest KingRoot needs the latest Super-Sume.
After many trials only this pair works for me: KingRoot 4.8.1 with Super-Sume 9.1.3
Any other combination fails, it's strange, especially when with older KingRoot (4.8.1 as still it makes root) attempting the latest Super-Sume... (it fails)
However there's another problem, specifically for the MediaTab T1. After replacing with Super-Sume, indeed, SuperSU is working and kicking, but unfortunately JUST ONLY when you set the option GRANT as "Access -> Default policy" (in SuperSU). When you set PROMPT it fails as the system somehow prevents popping up messages (in this case: requests for user's approval to grant root for an application).
Has anybody any idea how to alleviate this?
People used to say there's some sort of ui overlay in this MediaTab. Probably it blocks third party apps' pop-ups... What to do, what to freeze?
Hey guys, I'm trying to purchase this item, but not able to find it anywhere even gethuawei.com. Is there a website tucked away somewhere that I can order this device? I've also tried amazon, ebay, overstock.com, and most of your common places and all say out of stock. Thanks in advance for an answer.
a seller name BREED on ebay is selling it.

Thanks for this thread and the links......I rooted my Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 LTE-821L last night using Kingroot only took 2 or 3 minutes very straight forward after a bit more forum reading I downloaded and installed Titanium backup....
T1-821L rooted with the latest Kingroot app. Very easy. Then i downloaded Super-Sume 6.0 APK File. Now i have SuperSU. No problems!
I would love to find a development tree for this phablet.
It is lacking:
1. Developers!!
2. Custom recovery (TWRP/CWM)
3. CPU Governor development
4. That sweet baby-jesus Custom Rom that hordes of nerds pray for! I would do it myself but i am linux disabled. Cyanogenmod nougat update would blow ppls minds but for now i would settle for stripped 4.4 android with cpu overclocking.
To Rom or not to Rom - Having my fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:
Breed no longer sell these. Anyone know someone else selling?

My company has instituted use of MaaS360 as a MDM for BYOD android phones. The IT folks are preventing rooted and jailbroken phones from accessing corporate email from exchange.
On my Galaxy S4 I have tried several things to work around, including OTA Rootkeeper, Hide my root app, and SuperSU's temporary unroot. However MaaS360 manages to find out that the phone is still rooted. I tried the solution posted for Mobileiron on this site (freezing the MDM using TiBU immediately after rooting) but that does not work either.
My IT department is fine with "temporary" unroot but they do not think that it is possible to do so in MaaS360 while still ensuring that the device is not permanently rooted. I am wondering if someone knows how MaaS360 figures out that a device is rooted and whether there is a way for it to nor report when the device is temporarily unrooted using one of the methods discussed above.
Have you found a solution to this problem? I was wondering the same thing.

Nope... the only solution is to do a permanent unroot after setting up the ROM/device to your liking and before adding the MaaS360-enabled account.
Sounds like a reasonable solution to me. Thank you.

Yes, I find it alright. Make sure you reboot twice after doing a perm unroot (and before adding your MaaS360 enabled account). Sometimes it takes a additional reboot before the phone actually removed all su-related binaries.

Could you please confirm that it's okay to have a custom ROM flashed while using MDM so long as the device is no longer rooted?
I'd like to do this without ever getting flagged in the first place. My plan is to uninstall maas360, root the device, flash my custom rom, perm unroot the device, reboot twice and reinstall maas360. Will this be okay?
Thanks

I believe that answer depends on how your organization has set security policies on the MDM. For me, I have been using custom ROM (GoldenEYE) for several months now, and not been flagged so long as I add the exchange account after doing a full unroot and rebooting twice. You may want to check with your IT if they are OK with custom ROMs.. Most IT would be OK if you unroot I guess.
The steps you outlines are fine - I pretty much use the same sequence everytime I update to a newer version of the ROM. So far, no problems since 6+ months!

Hello
I speak very little English, excuse me for my English
I'm not new to the Root,I have a Samsung S4 Root with a lot of application for whom I need a root
My problem is that my company asked me to set the phone control app MaaS360
I installed MaaS360, the app tells me that I do not respect the safety and policy MaaS360 tells me to reset the phone to the original without Root.
I seek a way to make him believe that the phone is not root
Do you have any idea?
It's very urgent

hi, is there a way of rooting this phone, i've tried all rooting methods (one click , Vroot , framaroot, SRS, etc....) no luck, any suggestions from our XDA devs here ??
I am super disapointed with the lack of interest form the modding community. Kestrel beats MotoG in multiple areas and is a cracking piece of HW. My daily driver now (left my Note 3 as a backup device)
WIth Android 4.2 and Snapdragon 400 onboard, device is plenty fast, I would just like to get CM11 on it for the sake of a pure experience.
I guess rooting is becoming less and less of interest and OEMs doing a better job at developing their SW...

i'm sure one of our devs here will come up with the root just to prove them wrong, i understand its a new phone branded as EE kestrel ,just about 1 month since its launch, i mean Huawei were quite good , supply the code to unlock the bootloader. i wish there was an old fashion way to root it, all these super one click methods don't hack it.

what custom roms, there aren't any custom roms for the kestrel , not yet.
1- you'll need a custom recovery ( they haven't made one yet )
if you've found one that works with the kestrel , post the link
don't go flashing roms that aren't for your phone, you'll end up with a brick
Unlock bootloader : Check but the fastboot format all data

And.............TowelRoot V1 i can confirm works with the Padfone S also. I Haven't seen any one else post about the PadFone S Root and im sure people will inevitably want to do it when more and more people get their and on it but will likely be apprehensive due to there not being much out for the S yet.

ASUS PADFONE S (X?)
They keep saying online that that X and S are the exact same? Well, I have the S with dock/tablet and I beg to differ. Please excuse this, not trying to hijack this thread. There are just so few of us. atm.
So far:
ROOT: TOWELROOT TR1 works perfectly on PadFone X and S Best to have SUPERSU, BUSYBOX, & ROOT CHECKER installed before rooting for ease of use after root.
TWRP Installs easily. Use this adb shell script for ASUS PadFone S only!:
Code:
adb shell "curl 'http://datbak.com/links/padfone_s/asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img'>/sdcard/recovery.img; su -c 'dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery' bs=4096; sync; reboot recovery;"
Run> Allow SU> Reboots as normal> ASUS boot screen> black screen (TWRP is running but has the 'blackscreen bug')>wait 60 seconds>hit start button>TWRP appears> at TWRP settings reset timeout to 30 seconds or less (if you like.) We are waiting for the TWRP 2.8 update for these units, yes, it is in the works. The X version of TWRP (this thread) did not work for me on S.
XPOSED installs normally on S. Many features in Gravity Box etc. do not function perfectly because of the ASUS overlay. Lots of modules do work though. Please test for yourself. No issues so far with OS or root as of yet.
CHROMECAST MIRROR ENABLER v6 XDA LINK CHROMECAST MIRROR ENABLER works great on S.
X users please check to see if xposed and mirror enabler work for you too. :good:
BTW: ES File Manager writes to an exFAT 64GB microSD card after root and enabling the root tool. It's super fast and it's awesome! (Nexus 5 , iPhone 6, etc? Eat my dust.)
The more I use this phone, the more I like it!

Most recent link (on that thread, which I downloaded) to towelrootv1 is here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/mad-catz-mojo/development/root-mojo-towelroot-one-click-t2799712
And the main reason I wanted root on this nice device is GMD Gesture Control!
I was worried about how it would handle the switching displays, so I've just been trying things out. We need to override the multitouch device detection to 'asus_dds_sis_touch', then it works (only in tablet mode). So I have gestures in tablet mode, but not in phone mode (where they're less useful in my opinion). Will report in the GMD thread and ask the author what can be done. For example, running free GMD for phone mode?

What's wrong based on the quote? Yes it will work. Until the padfone S gets the L update (has not happened yet), in which case you'd need KIngroot instead (I think, have not bothered to update myself).
Whose busybox and super su you used?
By update do you mean an upgrade to lolipop?
Towelroot only works on kitkat right? I heard that someone can use framaroot as well.

These just make it sound like it's not fully functional and has problems? As I said, I'm not very techy with these things but just this would make me afraid to use it, is there any need for concern? Is the L update on its way and will it still be possible to root again after upgrading?

Root is not the same as TWRP nor Xposed.
If you're not very 'techy' (whatever that means) why do you want to root the phone in the first place? There's almost no reason to nowadays except for those with very specific requirements. And if you're not sure what TWRP and XPOSED are then you probably aren't in that group (no offense).

If you're not very 'techy' (whatever that means) why do you want to root the phone in the first place? There's almost no reason to nowadays except for those with very specific requirements. And if you're not sure what TWRP and XPOSED are then you probably aren't in that group (no offense).

No offence taken I've rooted a few phones, but I've never done it myself, I've always paid someone to do it (just some tech guy I know and he's cheap but very good). Main reason I want the padfone rooted is to be able to use adblock and to get rid of the bloatware. The padfone is for my mam and she's a complete technophobe so I want as little unnecessary apps as possible on it and maybe to replace stock apps with other apps that might be easier to use for her..
So does anyone reckon rooting would be worth it for the above or am I best just to leave it be and not mess with it for fear of running into problems down the line?

How do you downgrade to 5.0 from MM?
Has anyone successfully rooted this phone yet? I found root instructions by googling, but they were posted before the release of the phone so I don't trust them. For example:

I temp rooted mine with dirty cow, however it gained me very little. There are three main obstacles: 1) SELinux prevents most things from working, because each program runs within a tight security context, 2) using dirty cow causes the kernel to not save changes to the partition (it doesn't want to write a corrupted partition to disk), in other words a r/w /system is useless, even when you can finally write to it, 3) using dirty cow on the most attractive programs (from a permissions perspective) causes "little" problems like the screen going off.
I've been monitoring another XDA thread (sorry, link is at home) where they are working through these issues on another device. There are various approaches and workarounds, but they currently all involve way more risk than I can justify for a $500 phone.
AIUI, once you've got root, you need to be able to put selinux into permissive mode, but surely getting temp root is a start?
Can you not install systemless root?
If I got the dates right, the phone kernel should be affected by this bug. A proof of concept seemed to be promised by the reporter in the next few days. http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q4/607
Will be interesting to see how it compares to dirty cow as far as access.
Tried KingoRoot - no luck

Well, I tried KingoRoot by running the apk and it failed with an error at 90%. They say there is a version that can be run from Windows, but it appears to be no longer available. I emailed support. I will post again if I make any progress.

DO NOT TRY "Rootkhp". IT CONTAINS VIRUSES AND OPENS UP A BUNCH OF WINDOWS, INCLUDING A FAKE ANTIVIRUS.
Thanks Windows Defender for NOT defending me!

Please note that the phone is 64-bit. This is source code that requires compilation and additional code to do anything useful. Prerequisites include the NDK and related build tools installed via Android Studio. I run Linux so it was relatively painless, but I imagine it might be more of a challenge under Windows.

thanks, I tried that out of curiosity on my phone and it worked (Lollipop, stock Sony Xperia Z Ultra ROM).
--edit-- It appears to give me a root shell, but it doesn't execute anything if I hit return, just hangs. but still, it proves my kernel is vulnerable ;-(

there's two builds, one for for 32 and the other for 64 bit android
unpack and run on a linux box connected to the phone over ADB

Hi. I know this thread is about the Lenovo Phab2 Pro and I have the Lenovo Phab2 but maybe someone can help me. I tried what was suggested on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/phab-2/how-to/how-to-root-phab-2-pb2-650y-t3524305 But it seems I screwed up and now the phone gets stuck in the Lenovo sign. I'd really appreciate some help since I just bought this phone 2 days ago and now I can't use it. I can access TWRP but it seems there's nothing in /system. I think maybe that's the problem. I'm no expert but since I had rooted and downgraded and upgraded firmware several times on my previous phone, a LG G3. I thought maybe I could do this. I shouldn't have If someone can help me I'd really appreciate. Thanks in advance.
I was able to fix this. Sorry to have bothered.
Hi,
I've been able to get proper root access on this phone. One new problem I am facing is that the tango camera and sensors doesn't seem to work. Normal camera works just fine.
Is this related to the rooting or can it be anything else entirely?
Edit: Never mind. I was able to fix it without having to remove the root. Apparently 'Tango Core' didn't have permissions to access camera. I am not sure how that got reset. So I gave access to it and now it works just fine.

Dominic, what method did you use to root the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro? Can you provide a link or instructions?

Has anyone rooted the pb2-690y?
EDIT
I've changed the title to be something informative now, rather than a question.
Ok, so I finally got it working using KingRoot from here (it's probably the official version, but I'm not sure). Since it's an online-based root, you need an active internet connection and that's all you need. Device will reboot twice during the process, in my case, on first reboot, I've re-opened the app and the progress continued. KingRoot conveniently handles the root authorizations itself, but you might want to install your favorite superuser app later on...
Tested on KitKat 4.4.4 version (see attachments)
That's pretty much it. Hope it helps

I tried some of the rooting methods I found in the wild (including the NewKingroot + SuperSU Me) related to the samsung galaxy alpha sm-g850a, but with no luck at all. I know that this is an old device, but I still wanted to have root access for testing purpose.
OneClickRoot claims to have support for the KitKat 4.4.4 version, but I haven't tried it because of a membership requirement.
I hope someone create a new rooting method for this device

Thank you for your reply. I also tried that, the one for SM-G850F (sltexx), but it failed. Also, there's no support for SM-G850A in chainfire's web page. Do you know other working root methods for this specific device?
