Here We have the Root And CWM for Nexus 10 On Android 4.2.2!
Step 1 - Download Android SDK from the Android Developers website and install with USB drivers. See: How to Set Up Android SDK (Fastboot / ADB) on Windows.
Step 2 - Enable USB Debugging mode in your Nexus 10 tablet.
Step 3 - Download Fastboot and extract it in android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory. Create directory if not already there.
NOTE: Skip Steps 1, 2, 3 if you already have them.
Step 4 - Download SuperSU v1.04 (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip) and copy it to your sdcard on your Nexus 10 tablet.
Step 5 - Make sure you have backup your data as it will be removed. Then switch OFF your Nexus 10.
Step 6 - Download recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-manta.img and copy/paste it in the android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory.
Step 7 - Now go into Fastboot Mode on Nexus 10. How? Press Volume Down + UP + Power key for a few seconds till you see some text on the screen.
Step 8 - Navigate to android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory and open Command Prompt (Shift + Right-click > Open Command Prompt).
Step 9 - Type in the following command and press Enter.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-manta.img

Step 10 - Once completed, choose RECOVERY MODE from the Fastboot menu and enter Recovery Mode.
Step 11 - Then scroll down to “flash zip from SD card” and press the Power button to select it.
Step 12 - Press the Power button again and select “choose zip from sdcard”.
Step 13 - Now using your volume keys, navigate to the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip file that you copied to your SD card and select it using the Power button. Confirm the installation on the next screen and the installation procedure should start now.
Step 14 - After the installation completes, go to “+++++Go Back” and reboot the phone by selecting “reboot system now” from the recovery menu. Then Choose yes flash recovery back (this will make CWM your permanent recovery mode)
That’s it. Your Nexus 10 is now rooted on Android 4.2.2 JDQ39 software version of Jelly Bean and even has a custom CWM recovery installed. Check for the SuperSU app in your apps list to verify.

I think you have to unlock your device first. Then you can easily install your custom recovery
how do I install TWRP now?
never mind was trying to flash a .TAR file this wayyy... figured it out. need a .img
Use the nexus 10 toolkit
Side Load via adb,
then re run the everything script in toolkit.
Worked like a charm for me, however, I did have to reflash back to my first backup, to be on stock 4.2.1 with stock kernel

hope this one works :fingers-crossed:
I followed your method and got:
1.- Clockworkmod E:can't mount /sdcard/
2.- System stuck at Nexus X logo
What do I do now?
[update]
1.- Got factory image: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaray
2.- Ran "flash-all.bat" from the tgz
3.- Flashed recovery-twrp-2.4.2.0-manta.img
4.- TWRP asked if I wanted to install SU, I said yes
5.- Happy days.
Sorry if this has already been asked and I'm not understanding it.
I bought my mom a Nexus10 and it's missing some Indian fonts on it. I saw I need to flash on a fontpack to add them.
The tablet is totally stock, on 4.2.2..
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first (which wipes all the data) and then do the steps from the 1st post?
This whole process is not working for me. I am in windows 8 and it just doesnt let me install sdk nor even ask me to install drivers. Can you suggest what is the possible way out? I am unable to move ahead due to these issues :/
Root failed.
I followed all instructions (I have successfully rooted a number of smartphones and the Nexus 7 before this). The end result is that the Nexus 10 is unlocked, but hangs on bootup with just the X showing. I can't go into Recovery mode (I just get the Android lying on his back with an exclamation point showing and eventually it tries a normal boot - as far as the X).
I can't try Restart Bootloader as this, too, leads to just the X and hangs. I have reset the tab (power + down volume) and also have tried to reconnect the tab to the PC, which now does not recognize it, putting fastboot.exe and adb.exe out of reach. I think something might have gone wrong installing CWM, though it did boot up a couple of times after that with a couple of errors that passed by too fast to copy - before it started to hang. I never got a chance to put superuser on it as Recovery mode is out of reach. I tried a master reset the last time I got to Recovery Mode, but got several minor errors and now seem not to have ANY bootloader working. Short of sending the tab back to Google to have them restore a 'cherry' Android 4.2.2 (for a sum), I'm lost as to where to go next.
Any ideas?

how to root s3mini 8200
Hey guys,
I've had a total of 4 android smartphones during the last years, and I did root all of them and even install diferent ROM's, but on this phone (Honor 7) was kinda diferent.
The root process is way more complex than all the other androids I did root (simply flash a .zip file...) so I've been post-poning this task over and over..
Finally yesterday I gained courage to try out rooting my phone, and while attempting to root my Honor 7, after flashing SuperSU from TWRP, my phone no longer booted.
Stressed as I was, I just told to myself "f*ck it" and formatted the system and I didn't care much if there was a fix without needing to format the system. (but then I realised that I could not find any .img ROM files to flash from TWRP recovery, so basically I did my actions wrong once again)
I followed the tutorial from guidebeats.com which talks about rooting EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0 (I cant post links)
Basically this is the story:
While unlocking the bootloader, even though, the tutorial said the phone would reboot itself after typing "flashboot oem unlock 1234934829" I did a hard reboot (or reset?) holding (VOL+) + Power button and I have the feeling that the bootloader unlock was not 100% done, even if it said it was unlocked. (Phone was working perfectly fine there)
Then I flashed SuperSU, and I could no longer boot. After powering up my phone, after the first splashscreen, the screen would only turn black.
What (I think) I need to now is remove the TWRP recovery, and use the stock one and attempt to install an "update" using (Vol+) + (Vol-) + Power. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
But now there's some issues I got that I'd like some help with:
1- How can I get back to the stock recovery? (NOTE: I currently got no OS installed on my Honor 7, since I formated it)
2- Will I need to lock and unlock my bootloader again (if I want to 'fix' the bootloader unlock?)
3- Where can I get official Honor 7 stock ROM? (would be awesome if there was already the Android 6 stock rom for a clean install)
4- What are the steps on this tool (Honor 7 Multi-Tool) to root my phone?
I need my Honor 7 asap
Sorry for the long post, It's my first time doing a more advanced root and I have all these questions.
Thank you very much for any kind help!

As you are already familiar with adb and other stuff so will write a short post for you.
To download latest firmware, head to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...tock-firmware-packages-honor-7-t3448747/page1
Google, download and install Huawei update extractor and open UPDATE.APP in it (obtained after extracting firmware).
You can see all the images. Just extract recovery and boot to platform-tools folder.
Meantime, do the unlocking command again, with
Fastboot OEM unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Followed by fastboot reboot
And press and hold the vol down button again until you reboot in bootloader.
Flash the recovery and boot you extracted using
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
(I got a habit of extracting and flashing system and Cust using
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash Cust Cust.img
But they are not necessary)
Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again).
Please do report back if it comes to life.
To root, just flash twrp and then use SuperSU 2.62 (no other version) and update it later using play store.

Hey!
Thank you alot for your reply.
From the link you sent about the firmwares, there are alot of Builds for the L01 (EU) model. Can I simply use the latest from the list or I gotta install 1 by 1 (from older to newer)?
Also, the bootloader unlock thing, is it ok if I wait to do it until I install the stock ROM again? Because I think I don't have the code anymore (Also don't know about IMEI)
Other thing, yesterday before bricking my phone, I tried to re-unlock the bootloader as you said above, but it didnt let me because "it was already unlocked".
I really have no idea if it's 100% unlocked or not.
important thing!
With those ROM's, I still have the right to receive official OTA updates from the HiCare app right?
Thank you again

Just use B380 as it's the latest full firmware available there.
Unlocking bootloader again was just a precautionary measure (proceed without it and if it is not 100% unlocked and if something goes wrong, we can troubleshoot later, which imo, won't happen)
And yep, if you keep the firmware as it is, but if you flash twrp and root, you will still see the update available in Hicare but will have to install stock recovery again before upgrading. (Nothing else is needed as SuperSU 2.62 gives a systemless root so you only need to flash back stock recovery for an update)
I am not against honor-tool bit it's best to do things manually as it makes you learn stuff and is easy to troubleshoot if something is amiss.

Alright, btw, about the thing you said
"Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again)."
I gotta do that myself with an "update.app" file or what?
Sorry, I missed that part
Cheers!

You have to make a dload folder in SD card and copy UPDATE.APP to that folder.
Then just turn off the phone, press and hold power + vol up + vol down until phone boots.
Let go of power but keep others two pressed for 5, 6 sec more. Your phone will boot into recovery and start installing UPDATE.APP
It likes to get stuck at 5% (most reports) but sometimes, somewhere else. If its stuck for 15 minutes on a particular percentage, just press and hold the above three buttons again using the same process.
Multiple tries make it work...

I cant thank you enough!! Can I pay you a coffee?

That's great... Enjoy your phone and as for coffee, well, let's say, you owe me one and we will leave it at that
Better yet, you can search DigiGoon and pay him for the coffee, he taught me what I told you.
You can find him somewhere in this thread

Hello
How did you format your phone?
I'm still struggling with going back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 since there is no rollback file available. (PLK-AL10, B396) Maybe formatting and installing the old rom could be a solution, like in your case?

Hello.
Do you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery? You can format your phone from TWRP recovery.
I think the only option for you is to get the old ROM img and flash it (starting from 0)
You can dirty-flash (Flash a different ROM with same android version as yours, e.g: flashing custom android 5 ROM over your stock android 5 ROM without factory resetting your phone) but I dont think you can do that from Android 6 to 5.

Yes I have unlocked bootloader and currently not twrp but I can flash it at any time.
The last two paragraphs you wrote are different solutions or the last one is a more detailed explanation of the previous?
I have android 6 so the later method won't work as you said.
But formatting it and flashing a stock android 5 rom - is it that simple? Nobody here suggested this before, however I have been asking for months.
All the phones are empty when they leave the assembly line.
How did you flash the new rom to your formatted phone? Extracted update.app and flashed each file with fastboot? Any issues you faced?

From my last 2 paragraphs, the first was a solution, the second was an impossible alternative that I thought it would work.
My issue was that I had a custom recovery but I had no ROM installed, so I had to install the stock recovery and boot (extracting from update.app) and flashing it via fastboot, to afterwards force the update with 3-button method.
-----
What you'll need to do is:
- Flash TWRP
- Wype system, data, cache.. (so that you completely delete your current ROM)
- Extract recovery.img and boot.img from an update.app of an Android 5 ROM you'd like to have (Official ROM for your device model)
- Flash them via fastboot (You'll go back to stock recovery again)
- Shutdown your device
- Create a folder named "dload" on your sdcard and put UPDATE.APP file in it.
- Reboot
- Do the 3-Button update ([Vol+] + [Vol-] + Power)
- If it works, it will auto install
(- If it gets stuck on 5% for over 5/10min, force reboot pressing [Vol+] + Power) and try again the installation
- After installing it will boot normally (first boot takes a while)
NOTE: I'd recommend creading the dload folder before wiping the ROM, because usb didnt work for me afterwards. (It would still work if I was on recovery tho)
>> Remember to make a full system backup before wiping aswell, dont be stupid like me xD (thats why I had to full wipe my system after soft-brick)

Hi again,
I'm doing this OS installation now. It starts fine but stucks at 90%, (I'm trying to install the latest stock ROM which can be downloaded from Huawei site, B220 or221). Did you have the same issue? I waited more than half an hour at 90% but did not go on.

Maybe formatting, Flash stock Android 5 recovery using Honor multitool , and then Flash a Android 5 firmware
Not sure it Will Work without rollback..
Finally, after 2 months of struggling I managed to get back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 without a rollback file.
Here is what I did:
0. Download a full ROM you want to install
1. Backup of the current system with Hisuite (everything. Apps, media, contacts, call log, etc.)
2. Flash TWRP recovery with fastboot (start phone in fastboot mode)
3. Wipe (and format!) everything you can with TWRP
4. Extract boot.img and recovery.img from update.app of the new ROM with Huawei Update Extractor
5. Flash boot.img and recovery.img with fastboot.
6. Copy update app to dload folder on SD card, insert into the phone.
7. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.
8. The system will be installed from SD card. I had no issues with the installation. First I did not format the phone (just wiped) and it did not work.
9. Restore data from backup.
The only strange thing is that the native app icons look different than my previous lollipop system. Don't know why. They are less colorful. I installed C00B220 for PLK-AL10.

Yes it does. (It did for me.) Technically this is not a rollback but installing a brand new system on an empty phone. That's why it is important to do a backup upfront.

Thanks for the answer. Im gonna try this method. I can't reflash any region rom.
Hi,
My friend gave me this phone to update the rom, but I'm facing a problem. Device was rooted, recovery is installed, but some really old one - it doesn't even say what kind of recovery it is. So I read that I need to update to TWRP 2.8.4.0 rev.2. Tried flashing it with TWRP apk, but after choosing it and hitting install, it reboots and goes into old recovery and I can't install new TWRP. Then I tried installing it with this guide: http://rootoreviews.com/root-Lenovo-P780-install-twrp-custom-recovery , but I'm getting error: partition 'recovery' not support flash.
Lastly I tried with SP Flash Tools, but I can't install drivers. After holding red button 2 seconds and plugging cable there is no device unknown to install drivers or any kind of device looking like this phone.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks

Hi. I have read your message and you have to do this:
First Tutorial.
I see that you have installed allready one custom recovery.
1. Download TWRP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
2. After download putt the zip file to your root of your internal memory
3. Reboot to your current recovery and install twrp
4. After install power down your phone.
5. Start your phone again with all buttons pressed: Power + Volume up and Volume down.
6. Go to TWRP and do a full backup of your current firmware.
7. After full backup you can install any custom firmware you want.
8. I reccomend latest MIUI from AndreyZO, Mirror 9.
9. Good luck. If you have other questions write here.
Seccond Tutorial
1. Look in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
2. Download TWRP_v2.8.4.0 rev2 and read twice that tutorial
3. Go to this post and download SP Flash Tool: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_B98oK4DpK1S1l2bXRkTGxhVFk
4. Go to this post and download latest stock KITKAT and drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/p780-row-s226-flash-flashtool-t2909202
5. When you install the drivers in windows 8,10 you must disable driver signing. Look on youtube.
6. Now you must flash new system.
7. Unpack stock Kitkat firmware.
8. Unpack TWRP.
9. Go to firmware folder and delete recovery.img and replace with TWRP
10. Flash the firmware.
11. After flash boot at least once. If by any chance your phone is Lenovo P780 speed edition, after this flash will not start. This means that you need the latest preloader. Download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-chineese-speed-version-t2874161
12. After flash reboot in recovery by powering off the phone and start with all buttons pressed: Power + Volume up and Volume down.
13. Now you have last stock firmware with custom recovery installed. Go to TWRP and do a full backup of your current firmware.
14. After full backup you can install any custom firmware you want.
15. I reccomend latest MIUI from AndreyZO, Mirror 9.
16. Good luck. If you have other questions write here.
Tried to flash from this weird recovery, but I get error - look at pic.
I didnt flash this recovery, it must've been flashed by seller in my country. It looks like he way buying chinese versions and then flashing modified rom with polish language (very poorly translated).
Problem with sp flash tools is, I cant install usb driver. When Im in download mode I get the sound that usb device has been plugged in and after 1 second i get the unplugging sound. There is no unknown device in Device Manager, do I am not able to update the driver :/

That one is stock recovery. Proceed with the seccond tutorial.
One more question before I try to flash, I got CN verision, u answered to me in different thread:
stympy said:
Hi. Your layout is CN.
Look if you have custom recovery TWRP Installed.
If you have TWRP installed you can go to this post and install latest MIUI MINOVO.
Good luck.

So is that ROW Kit Kat ok for me ?
Yes it is ok as base firmware.
After you flash and install TWRP, you can install any custom firmware.

Hi,
Sorry for delay, wasn't at home during weekend. Im flashing right now, but I had to use "Format all + download", cause only download showed error: "PMT changed for the ROM it must be download". Now I can flash the ROW version of custom rom or CN ?
Hmm I have still stock recovery not TWRP, although I replaced it with TWRP. File size matches perfectly...
Ok, worked but I flashed it with ROW version of recovery, making backup at the moment.
Got an error installing minovo_NOTE_6.12.1_ROW.zip, couldn't boot into recovery after so I decided to flash via SP Flash Tools one more time. After that booted into recovery and once more I have stock recovery xD I'm in serious WTF mode right now
Hmm I think I screwed something. After booting Kit Kat it says "Invalid imei" :/ I guess I will have to restore with MTK droid tools ? Can you guide me through that ?

Hi. Look on this location:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3174563
Send from my Lenovo P1 Vibe Pro with 3 Gb of RAM and 32 Gb of Internal Storage.
Sorry for annoying you once again. When I try to flash anything in TWRP I get error "unable to mount /system". I read that it could mean that system partition might have incorrect file system. What is the standard one for p780?
It happens when I flash the stock KK with TWRP recovery, then I want to flash Superuser. I need superuser to use MTKdroidtools to restore IMEI.
My biggest problem is when I boot the Stock KK after flashing and power OFF, I can't boot to TWRP recovery. Instead it's booting stock recovery. Only way to to boot to TWRP or any custom recovery (tried CWM) is only after fresh flashing with SPflashtools, but I can't flash superuser. If I format /system I can install superuser (no error unable to mount /system), but I have no system to boot to use MTKdroidtools.
This phone is driving me crazy....
UPDATE:
Ok i managed to restore everything, thanks for help. Can't flash custorm rom still but im making different thread.
Hi, it would be possible TWRP for ULEFONE S8 PRO, this phone comes with a Trojan in the sound recorder, and is installed in the system part, so if I do not root or install TWRP I can not delete it. If any developer can help us and give us some solution ... I sent several emails to ULEFONE and they do not answer. The Trojan was detected by ESET NOD 32 MOBILE.
Thank you
up! All the tutorial have wrong TWROP too that make the item reboot only to TWRP
root ok
well, after two days trying, root made.
1- flash official rom with sp flash tool and rom downloaded from ulefone.com/download/s8pro.html (do not use flasher from this web, use sp flash tool)
2- download ulefone s8 pro toolkit, put phone in fastboot mode (power+vol up), select fastboot
3- download super su last version from official chainfire web, copy supersu file and noverity.zip from file downloaded in point 2 into an sd card and put into phone.
4- execute ulefone s8 pro toolkit.exe, option 41, connect phone. phone prompt if wish unlock bootloader, vol up for yes. phone reboot into twrp
5- in twrp, first go into wipe-advanced wipe-select data-repair or change file system-change file system->first change to exFAT, second change to EXT4 (the original part type)
6- install from sdcard, first supersu, second noverity.zip
7- reboot
thats all!

Can you link the s8 pro toolkit (even in private message) since the one I have just bootloop TWRP and doesn't allow me to do something...thank you!
Another way to root, but no TWRP is to patch the boot.ini extracted by the firmware zip , patch it with magisk manager and replace the original one with the patched one via ADB.Then you can update magisk by magisk tool everytime, the phone won't brick, just no ways to update....
thank you !

As a complete novice in rooting, thank you so much for this explanation. It worked a treat. I had already re-installed ulefone stock rom but these steps got me back rooted. Thanks again. I have been reading these threads for some time but just registered today to say thank you.
still no linlk to tool software?
Hi! I'm pinging the topic. Has anyone successfully rooted his Ulefone S8 PRO? Unfortunately, mine goes into the bootloop after installing any kind of custom recovery
hello! does anyone have a working link to stock rom? ulefone website link doesn't work

TWRP for sc7731c hope it helps
hi all a have a sc7731c phone on android 6.0 and i was able to install twrp on my device
it all started when i found a stock rom on the web (Google your device for stock - rom or - firmware)
once i had the rom i started searching for a way to extract the stock recovery from the rom
and i found this tool SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R4.0.0001 using this tool i extracted my stock
recovery from the ROM ( recovery.img ) , first stage complete i had a stock recovery
taken from a rom for my phone - brand and model must be right on the stock
firmware/rom or you risk damaging your phone (DO NOT CHEAT PLZ)
ps:when you unpack the firmware/rom you should get a .pac file
ps:finding my stock rom took me several days of search.
now for STAGE 2 i had a stock recovery a needed to change it
for twrp another few days of search i came across a site
called hovatek here i found a tool to port (change) the
stock recovery to boot the twrp recovery the tool name is
[Hovatek] Spreadtrum (SPD) Auto TWRP Recovery Porter V1.0 by Team Hovatek (x86)
i PORT my stock recovery with this tool the tool creates a modified recovery on the
output folder( a few kb bigger ) stage 2 done.
STAGE 3
1- a fully working ADB, for this your best option is android-studio
2-turn on USB debuging and OEM unlock in DEV options
3-name the new recovery file recovery.img
4- place the new ported recovery.img in the adb
installation folder ( c:\platform-tools-latest-windows\platform-tools )
5-your device has to be in USB MTP mode
6-if ADB is properly installed and Windows has the correct android device
driver you should be able to use these commands using android-studio's ADB
command- adb devices
-if the device is detected a serial number apears
command- adb reboot bootloader
-the device reboots to a black screen with small white letters saying FASTBOOT mode
command- fastboot devices
-the device displays the serial number again
command- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- if all went well it will say successful
command- fastboot reboot
-dont remenber if it booted straight to twrp or if i had to use power + volume up
-by the way on my phone to get in the default recover its 1 second hold power
and then with the power pressed for 1 sec add volume up 3 sec and let go of both
any way it worked i hope it helps ppl with these sc7731c phones
i have twrp 3.0.0 fully working (My Model - Selecline/Auchan s6s4in3g)
tips: youtube vídeos on how to use SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R4.0.0001
the hovatek site has a great tutorial on how to use the recovery porter tool
the last part the ADB commands was a ***** as Windows did not install my device
correctly and this is crucial -install phone driver manualy/Google device/Google android device. good luck
ps: all merit goes to the developers of these tools, a great ty to them
ps: at the start i did NOT have root, the success flashing the ported twrp recovery
was followed by the installation of the magisk15.3.zip and voila twrp+root
Here is a Ready twrp 3.1.1-0 recovery for SELECLINE/AUCHAN S6S4IN3G
(WARNING)do not flash it on any other brand or model IM NOT TO BLAME

its awsome when one understands it and can do it himself, enjoy your root :good:
In the Hovatek application, you can cheat your TWRP version. I don't know if it's working on other devices instead of using a lollipop version you can use Marshmallow version.

Thanks so much man, I've been pulling my hair trying to figure how to root this thing. You're the best. Do you know if there are any roms for it? maybe ported?
Thank you so much man, I can confirm this works with myphone a5!!!!
A different phone but same chip.
i have no image in the recovery, butyou can access it by adb anyway following this thread:
i have magisk now time to unninstall gapps!!!!
fastboot doesn't work to me anyway, I don't know why but it is the truth. may u can help me?
So many thanks for you work! I'd use your TWRP as base and ported it to the Wiko Sunny 2. The only problem is that touch input doesn't work well, it receives touches all the time.
I have an E504 with android 8.1.0 go edition, I accidentally deleted family photos and I need to recover them, for that I need to root the cell phone, you can do it or do you know how I can do it or who does it?
