Did you get to root your tablet?
I am looking for some help too.
could you root it ? I don't find any info to do it !!
root Teclast P10
Getting root access using Magisk:
1. Flash by AndroidTool patched boot.img from the attached archive (boot.img from firmvare 2.04).
2. Install MagiskManager-v5.6.2.apk from archive.
Pay attention, that boot.img patched by MagiskManager exactly version 5.6.2. and when update Manager procedure is required to produce again (I own this tablet and will try to do it in a timely manner).
It's advisable to rename/delete the binary "su" in the system/xbin folder.

Please I need help guys.
I got stuck at stage 4. I saw the message "Found one loader device" yet when I click Run, instead of the running the program, I saw another message "boot is not existed, stop running!".
Pls what is the problem? Why do I keep getting this message?
By the way, I tried to rename/delete 'Su' file system/xbin but was unsuccessful. I saw the message "'task failed', 'su cannot be deleted'". I have tried to root the tablet before with kingroot app but was unsuccessful. Worse still the kingroot refused to be uninstalled, masquerading itself as a system app. Now my tablet WiFi is misbehaving, refuses to turn on.
So I really need to root the tablet to uninstall the malicious kingroot app.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks

When you run Android Tools, you have to click on the last empty square in the boot line, and choose the boot.img that you downloaded. Then, click run.

Can't get it to work. If i hold down the volume key "+" and connect tablet to PC (Win10), device is not recognised. (drivers are installed)
The tablet shows the Android Recovery:
Teclast/rk3368H_64/rk3368H_64
7.1.2/NHG47K/fb11231759
When i select 'reboot to bootloader' from the Android Recovery menu, AndroidTools shows 'Found One ADB Device'
But when i click on run, the message 'Match device type failed, stop running!' appears
Any hints?
I just tried it with a fresh Win7 installation in a VM, works now!

How this happened?It describes the process?
why, how? etc.
I have used recovery.img into the upgrade file.
Flashed via adb and now the phone is hold on boot logo screen.
If I power on pressing vol - button I see screen to choose to boot in recovery or reboot system or power off.
All options doesn't work!
Do you have any ideas?
wow!!! Solved!
- I waited until the battery of my nubia z9 was completely to 0% .
- pressed vol down and connected to usb cable + charger (not pc!)
- wait 10 minutes for charge a little battery
- connect phone to pc and extracted recovery.img of the file zip upgrade
- via adb I have run this command: fastboot -i 0x19d2 flash recovery recovery.img
- selected reboot to recovery
- ALL OK! fortunately!!!

any ideas to install gapps without custom recovery?
ok! in this post I reply to me!!
I have manually installed pack of gapps called: gapps-lp-20141109-signed on system\priv-app folder with rwxr-xr-x permissions.
That's all!
All works but actually only contacts aren't not sync and I dont's see in sync page of my account.
How did you actually do it?? It's not clear to me, are you rooted? Otherwise how could you access "system\priv-app" folder?

Getting specific, is it the boot.img that you find in the big .zip file that you have to boot up?
Something like:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot -i 0x19d2 boot boot.img
...and then flash superSU (and possibly gapps)?
Hi All.
Got my device from Hong kong today, Live in Denmark so think i am the first user in Denmark of this device.
Man the screen are great
We are missing an forum for this device here on XDA, hope they create one for us soon, so we can setup guides on how to do this and that.
Ok could we create an process guide in this thread with links for updating, rooting and so on.
I really miss Google stuff on my device, Google Play, sync from google contacts, photos, calender and so on.
First i think i need to Root right?
When its done i need to install Google framework right?
Could soneone that has allready provide us with links, guides or mayby Youtube video on how to do it correct, i would kill myself if i Break the device on the first day.
Thanks peeps
THIS GUIDE IS FOR THE MOTO G6 PLUS ONLY
2: Returning to Stock
If for any reason your phone is no longer functioning properly such as a bootloop (the phone is restarting itself over and over), "Can't Load Android System," "Startup Failed", or any such error you can fix this by flashing the stock firmware using fastboot.
I have taken stock firmware version OPW27.113-89 and packaged it with a few extras. XDA Member luiz_neto has provided a modified logo.bin that removes the unlocked bootloader warning during boot. A special thanks to XDA Member lohanbarth for providing the stock firmware. I have included the fastboot file for Windows, Linux and Mac users. Windows users can run the .bat file to execute all the necessary commands. For Linux and Mac users, I have included a bash script. You will need access to a PC and connect your phone via a USB cable.
*Downloads:
Modified Stock Firmware OPW27.113-89: (Download)
MD5: 3a1d984a8a3d0c57fb21931a8004eb27
Instructions:
*On your phone:
2A. With the phone powered off(even if for just a moment between the phone rebooting) hold the Power button and the Volume Down(Vol -) at the same time. You should boot into what is called the bootloader. It should display information on the screen and state "AP Fastboot Flash Mode" in orange lettering.
*On your PC:
2B: Extract the firmware which is in tar.xz container/file extension. Windows user probably need to use Winrar, 7Zip or PeaZip to extract the file.
2C: Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder EVERT_OPW27.113-89_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml and click on it to open it.
2D: Hold the Shift Key on your Keyboard. While holding Shift, Right Click in the window(not on the file). Depending on your windows version you should see either "Open PowerShell Window here" or "Open Command Window here." Select which ever one applies.
2E: You will see a black and white screen or a blue and white screen. The steps are the same no matter which screen you see. Simply type(or copy and paste) the following command:
Windows:
Code:
flash_rom.bat
For Linux and Mac you need to make the script file executable. It will make the fastboot binary executable for you. From a terminal run these 2 commands one at a time:
Linux:
Code:
chmod a+x flash_rom.sh
./flash_rom.sh
Mac:
Code:
chmod a+x flash_rom_mac.sh
./flash_rom_mac.sh
Your phone should reboot on it's own. If for some reason it doesn't try tapping the enter key on your keyboard or use the volume keys to make sure “Start” is selected on the right side of the phone and pres the power key on the phone. It should successfully boot the stock firmware.

Hi! have you succeed with your issue flashing this stock firmware ?
Does this stock firmware helps to remove warnings "This device has loaded a different operating system", and "Verity mode disabled" during boot?
And the worst thing is the message "System integrity compromized" and hens - GooglePay disabled and no software updates., when bootloader is re-locked?

Please follow my guide below. That would be much easier I think, because it seems you are doing several things wrong.
1. download ADB/Fastboot tools from here and extract the downloaded zip to 'C:\' to create the path 'C:\platform-tools'
2. download your current firmware build here.
You use 116-16-22 but the latest build is 11-16-29 for RETBR.
3. extract the firmware.zip to 'C:\platform-tools'
Watch out to extract only single files and images to that path and do not create a subfolder => see screenshot attached
4. extract attached flashfile.zip to 'C:\platform-tools'
5. open 'C:\platform-tools' in Explorer and type 'cmd' in the address bar and hit 'Enter'
=> opens a new cmd window
6. boot your Moto into fastboot mode, connect it to your PC and run 'fastboot devices'
=> output: <SERIAL-NO> fastboot
7. execute 'flashfile.bat' and start flashing

I tried again and now these errors occur. I thought it might be a locked bootloader, but apparently everything is ok, at startup it has an unlocked bootloader warning. And really thank you to helping me.

No, your bootloader isn't unlocked. The OEM-Unlock toggle would be inactive (greyed out) in case of an unlocked bootloader.
I can confirm that this process works on Update v5.2.6.8. Any other version beyond that your mileage may vary. "ADB debugging" and "Apps from Unknown Sources" should be enabled. I would like to thank the following members because without their resources this walkthrough wouldn't have been possible: @diplomatic for the exploit, @el7145 for leaving a cookie crumb trail of clues within his comments in this thread which I had to follow like the yellow brick road in order to repeat his success, @rbox for the custom recovery and pre-rooted image, and @AFTVnews.com because if it hadn't been for your article I probably would've never gotten my AFTV device rooted in time before the 5.2.6.9 OTA update. Oh, I almost forgot... and thanks @Chainfire for SuperSU . And also @teamfresno for the advice.
ACHIEVING TEMPORARY ROOT PERMISSIONS
1. Download and install ADB on your PC.
2. Download "mtk-su_r4.zip" and extract "arm64" folder in ADB install directory (C:\adb).
3. Run command below:
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.XX
(IP address of your Fire TV device)
4. Transfer mtk-su to your /data/local/tmp folder:
Code:
adb push C:/adb/arm64/mtk-su /data/local/tmp/
5. Open an adb shell:
Code:
adb shell
6. Change to your tmp directory:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
7. Add executable permissions to the binary:
Code:
chmod 755 mtk-su
8. Run the exploit:
Code:
./mtk-su
NOTE – The following line should display:
New UID/GID: 0/e
9. Ensure that mtk-su succeeded in setting selinux to permissive by typing the following command:
Code:
getenforce
INSTALLING TWRP & SLOANE
1. Download rbox's TWRP custom recovery and the latest pre-rooted ROM from your PC and copy it to the root of a USB stick [or microSD card].
2. Connect the USB stick [or microSD] to your AFTV2.
3. Change to USB Storage directory:
Code:
cd /storage/usbotg/
NOTE – If recovery is on microSD
Code:
cd /storage/sdcard1
4. Run the zip file. This will automatically run SU:
Code:
sh /storage/usbotg/firetv2_recovery_v7.zip
If recovery is on microSD
Code:
sh /storage/sdcard1/firetv2_recovery_v7.zip
NOTE – It should print out a following lines:
Extracting unzip...
Remounting /system read-write...
Extracting...
Remounting /system read-only...
5. Reboot to Recovery:
Ctrl+C (closes out previously ran script)
Code:
adb reboot recovery
6. Your AFTV2 should reboot to a black screen displaying the Amazon logo, followed by a prompt stating that the device will automatically restart, but if not to unplug then re-plug the power source. It will not automatically restart, but DO NOT unplug the device yet.

If you copied the recovery and ROM onto a USB stick then you will need to disconnect it from the AFTV2, and connect a USB hub with at least 2 ports to the AFTV2, and connect both a USB keyboard and the USB stick to the hub at this time. If you copied the recovery and ROM onto a microSD then connect a keyboard to the empty USB port at this time.
8. Now unplug then re-plug the power source and you will be presented with the TWRP splash screen.
9. At the boot menu, press the RIGHT arrow key on the USB keyboard to boot into TWRP recovery.
NOTE – whatever you do DON'T let your AFTV2 idle for too long on the initial recovery boot menu screen or it will time out thus restarting, requiring you to repeat the prior steps.
10. Use the arrow keys to select the "Install" in TWRP.
11. "Select Storage", and choose the location where you stored the pre-rooted ROM.
12. Select "Swipe to Confirm Flash" to start the installation.
13. Select "Reboot System" once the file has finished installing in order to restart the AFTV2.
For those feeling a little adventurous/ambitious then feel free to follow this guide created by @g422 as he discuses where to go from here by delving into other avenues to truly tap into the power of your AFTV2 such as what's "Xposed" and the benefits it offers for rooting your device, and also how to backup your current Fire OS install using TWRP.
Also shouts out to @PhoenixMark who created a guide for Mac users based on my write-up as how to enable root here.
This will work if we have a bricked device stuck on the Amazon logo?
Thanks for this! can't wait till I get home and finish the process with your guide. Other guides had my head spinning. Achieved temp root but no mention of pushing super su.
Oh wow, looks like that exploit spread like wildfire!!
Wonder if anybody will see if this works for the firestickv2 (I don't trust myself to crack the case of mine open lol)

Worked like a charm on my fire tv 2, but I did notice voice control seems to be broken after achieving permanent root.
Anyone else experienced this????
Thank you for putting this guide together! Also thanks to @rbox for twrp and the rom!Finally got root on my Fire TV 2!

worked flawlessly on Amazon fire tv 2, the only thing i would say about the instruction for me was that usbotg was not recognised I only had sdcard0 (int storage) sdcard1 (sd card) apart from that great job thank you
ps there was an update waiting to install from amazon which i blocked, perhaps they are patching already

I don't use voice activation, voice assistants, etc. as a preference. I'm just paranoid like that

It's worth looking into. Since I currently own one as well I'll see a/b performing these same instructions and post my findings at some point in time.

I tried both ways, with the microSD and USB so I know it works if you followed what was stated in the instructions to the T... I know that when I attempted the USB option the first time, I had forgot to plug the USB stick in which made it show up as USB (0) which is only logical explanation I can think of for what happened to you.

Thanks, and unfortunately, no. SuperSU is the component that enables root which can be detected by apps that disengage user functionality when they discover root is enabled. I attempted to install Magisk v18.1 to counteract this side effect, but failed miserably w/ the end result to the point that my AFTV2 does a constant boot loop as recounted here. Magisk would be the only option I'm aware of to make root 'hidden', but it's not worth it at the cost of turning your device into a boot looping paper weight.
True. Nothing like having a 'brick on a rope' so to speak. That's not a 'deal breaker' as I subscribe to IPTV services that out performs it anyway. Do you know if Hulu does the same as Netflix? The missus may take exception if it killed that...

I guess the main reason I'd want root access is to take all of the preloaded apps off for room, as well as have the ability to use the external storage within apps.
---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------
well...I answered my own question..seems Hulu doesn't like it either...*sigh* Time to search for a box that can hide root so my wife won't blow a gasket....
Wait, we can't use Netflix if we are rooted? Yikes.
I've had no trouble with Netflix yet since I rooted this yesterday, but of course ymmv.

Damn, sorry to hear that. I imagine what happened is the result of magisk patching the kernel on a locked bootloader. I hope you're able to get it fixed. Good luck to you!

Hi guys, I'm here to learn something about Android Security System.
I have this Sapphire TV BOX
model: DWI259S / UIW4020ETI / UIW4020ETI2 (Sapphire)
SoC: Broadcom BCM7271
The goal of this post is to understand how I can gain root access on this device
I know how to turn it in recovery mode .
if you are interested you can read this Reddit post from ams_sharif
"You can boot to recovery by switching the unit off ( the black button in the back), then while holding the power button (the one on the side, next to the pair button) turn the set top box on until the recovery shows up."
This is what I see.

I tried to flash an update.zip in order to see if I can execute command through any script, but the verification of the signature fails.
I tried to click on "Apply update from USB" (that is adb sideload) , but connecting the tv box on the pc nothing happen, no device found neither with "adb devices"
I tried also to click on "Reboot to bootloader" but "fastboot devices" command return nod devices connected.
My idea was to read the recovery image from fastboot extract it and try to compile my own TWRP
Do you have any suggestions to guide me in the right way?
@element14
When you enter
Code:
adb devices
and don't see an entry listed under the “List of devices” section, then your device isn't connected to PC.
Same is case when you enter
Code:
fastboot devices
Recovery option "Apply update from USB" isn't equal to "adb sideload". This option assumes the Update.Zip you want to flash is located on USB-device connected with your TV box.
With regards to rooting your TV box you can try to flash Chainfire's SuperSu Pro.
BTW: TWRP isn't a recovery image you compile in order to flash, it's merely a touch-enabled replacement for device's Stock Recovery menu as shown by you

Are you sure that I can flash an unsigned zip like superSu , with a stock recovery and locked bootloader ?

The TWRP is an open source project , all the source code is avaiable. But to have it works , you need the original kernel .
I tought , If I can unlock the bootloader I can read the image of the recvoery.img and from it extarct the kernel
Thanks for your answer.
@ element14
did you manage to make the device usebale?
Hello, i am also interested to reset\flash this device but I couldn't find any useful guide, did you manage to root it or flash it, I want to use it as android STB.
As long as you can establish an USB-connection ( read: ADB connection ) then you can root any device's Android OS, otherwise NOT.
Any updates on this topic? It would be great to know if someone was able to root it.

Going to apps list:
- insert usb
- click browse
- go up to internal storage, press ok, click Apps
part 1
- go to apps list, keep usb inserted
- scroll to Files, click it, click open
- if it opens skip to part 2
- else it will crash and show the first time boot
- go to apps list again while keeping usb inserted
- open files again
part 2
- connect a mouse to other USB port, navigate into the USB and into where you placed your APKs
- double click the apk to install it
- on first time install, it will show an error about unknown sources
- click settings on the prompt
- enable all sources shown
- continue installing the app

you can't play videos from USB without installing third party apps.

Guide has been reworked to be more clear and based on comments.
[Part One]
Backup Data
Update phone to latest version
[Part Two]
Download the Firmware for the Zenfone 9 https://www.asus.com/mobile/phones/zenfone/zenfone-9/helpdesk_download/
Download Payload GUI. https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/payload-dumper-gui-v2-3-zip.5758127/ (Hermann2306 credit for mentioning)
Extract the Payload Dumper GUI zip file, as well as the UL-ASUS Firmware zip file
Run the Payload Dumper GUI program in the unzipped folder. A file explorer window will pop up; open the unzipped UL-ASUS Firmware folder and select the payload.bin file. Another file explorer window will pop up; select the UL-ASUS Firmware folder if not already selected, then click select folder in the bottom right.
Click Dump on the Payload Dumper GUI Application. The files will be output to the UL-ASUS Firmware folder.
[Part Three]
Download Magisk and install onto phone via APK. https://magiskmanager.com/downloading-magisk-manager/
Plug phone into computer and allow file transfer.
Within the UL-ASUS Firmware folder there will be a boot.img file. Move this file onto the phone.
Open the Magisk application and follow image below, select the boot.img to patch
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A file will be output with magisk. Move this file back onto the PC, and rename to boot.img
[Part Four]
Unlock Zenfone 9 Bootloader. Asus provides a bootloader unlock tool on their website. Below is the link directly to the apk. https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS590KS/AsusUnlock_1.0.0.7_210127_fulldpi.apk
Install the drivers listed below for the phones recovery mode https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS590KS/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20160331.zip (Asus Driver Xanker commented. Thank you again)
[Part Five]
Download Minimal ADB and extract files https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754459552
Move Boot.img file into Minimal ADB extracted folder.
Put Zenfone into recovery mode and connect to PC. Recovery mode can be achieved by turning off the phone and then powering on whilst holding the volume up button. Release when the ASUS logo pops on screen.
Run cmd-here.exe in the Minimal ADB folder; a command window will open
As a test run the command listed below and it should output a device fastboot devices
If that test succeeded run the final command to flash, fastboot flash boot boot.img
The command prompt command didn't run. Said it was not recognized. Is there a specific place the .exe need to be in the directory?
NVM...got it.
@BreadNoose Thanks for the write-up!!!
I just got the phone 2 days ago and have been trying to follow your steps but without success. I keep having issues with fastboot (I've probably spent 6+ hours on it; I also have a 9-5 job haha). The following are things I've tried:
*Btw, OEM unlock is not showing in Developers options. Download unlock app and I think my OEM is unlocked but in recovery it says "Yes" next to Bootloader thing.
-ADB works fine.
-Download Platform from Google.
-Tried ADB minimal from xda also.
-I tried three laptops, two windows 11 and the other windows 10. None of them recognize fastboot.
- When I go to device manager I see Asus phone listed with that yellow triangle sign and when I try to update the driver it either says drivers up to date or if I manually try to update it says some other error.
- Try different cables.
- I even disabled the driver signature in the restart menu but no success.
-I tried using Asus 8 drivers thinking that would help but nothing.
I wonder if it's just the Asus 9 driver that's the issue? What am I missing???
Any idea?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Had the same Problem, you have to use this driver:
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS590KS/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20160331.zip
The image version that I just downloaded seems to be at a higher version (WW-32.2030.2030.26 as opposed to WW-32.2004.2004.84 on my phone) and the phone doesn't have that version available (I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet). Should I update locally or download the earlier version of the image instead?
If your phone has the 2004 version installed extract the boot.img from the downloaded 2004 Payload.bin. Or you can update your phone and use the 2030 boot.img.
For me it works with the 2030 version. Root installed, everything ok (AdAway, Postbank (BankingApp)).
If you want to pass SafetyNet just install the magisk module from https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/tag/v2.3.1 and reboot.
OK, rooted with no issues, I needed to install the asus drivers and had to reset a second time because the USB stopped working. However, I can't get Google wallet to work despite all other banking apps working as well as passing safetynet.
I dont use wallet, but if installed i can run it and start the setup, no errors.
Maybe try it with the use of denylist.

Doesn't work, the guide asks for denying google system apps which doesn't work because they are always off deny list (this is intended behaviour)
For the record, every other payment apps I am using, even the ones that check for safetynet are working. YASNAC returns a both pass basic.
Then i am sorry (Im too new to the whole android stuff, still learning)
Just for interest, can you start and configure wallet (error comes first if you want to pay)?

Wallet is configurable, it's just that when you save your card details and it starts contacting the bank it would jump to an error saying that the system is modified.
Maybe try this? (I think you have already read/tried it)
[Magisk] Google wallet (pay) with magisk
Saw on reddit that some people have issues with google pay, since the new update added some new checks. So here is what you do: - Update Magisk to 25.2, Update magisk app to 25.2 as well - Rename Magisk app if you havent already - [ OPTIONAL ]...

Does someone rooted a 16GB ram Zenfone 9? My software is 32.2004.2004.74.
Can not find this software at Asus website.
I have rooted the 16gb version (32.2030.2030.26).
Why dont make an update before root?
