If I'm not mistaken that's only for mediatek chips isn't it? The a3x/a600dl is using a Qualcomm 460.
ah if its a qcom chip you're out of luck unless you can get a firehose for it
I have tried using fastboot on this device with no success. Anyone else?
Using ADB I was able to boot to the Recovery Menu, but my only options were
Clear Cache and
Factory Reset
Other things I tried with no success:
ADB Reboot to Bootloader, Fastboot, EDL
QFIL Flash Image Loader
Hardware Button entry to Recovery and Fastboot

Yes, seeing as I tried this for around an hour with no luck, only to find that TCL denies the user access to the bootloader. Even though you can see the option to OEM unlock in the Developer Options menu, TCL blocks all users to be able to access the fastboot bootloader. As someone else here has said somewhere, it is only possible when someone finds an exploit to get to it, unfortunately.
Take path settings, system, about; find build number and press it quickly multiple times until you enter developer mode. Go back into system and find developer options. Now you should have a toggle for unlocking bootloader

Iv'e been looking around for a root for my device and I can't seem to find a root. Is there even a root for it yet?
Guys come on. Its been almost 4 months now and still no root. I just want to delete all the bloat ware off my device so that I can use it more.
Well I guess there isn't a root for my device. If anyone needs to root this device your out of luck.
Perfectly fine Android build per se; you want to change what?
You were joking, right? Going into the about/device and tapping on the kernel version lets you pick a ROM from microSD.
One supposes that you would use adb to make verify all your build assumptions are OK, grab Android developer kit and blobs on your development box of choice, and build your new improved ROM. Boot to glamour-shot portfolio FTW.
Separately, Internet reports are that Kingroot.net works, at least from the Windows side (perhaps after a little name tweaking from that side of adb resource names; see the perfectly serviceable P10A7100 note on Reddit. On the Android side I'm still looking at a spinner and '01%' root acquisition progress. But then I should give Kaspersky and Malwarebytes the day off while this is going on, right?
Hello,
New to the adb thing. I want to say first off, that this tablet has to be the worst POS I have even had. Its has 32 gb of memory but I can only use 6 of it for apps before it slows to a complete useless doorstop. Could anyone reccomend a good rom image?
I have the same issues. Can't believe they would sell such a POS! That's Best Buy a crap store that used to be one of the best.
Insignia NSP10A7100 rooting
Any luck finding more info on root for this device? I've only tried kingroot so far from the apk but no luck. Also trying to find more info on how to root manually (without a script) or how to write my own script? I've enabled developer options, enabled bootloader unlocking. I can run adb from my ubuntu box but adb reboot bootloader just reboots? I see the option when tapping kernal to update a .zip file but what file? I haven't seen any roms or recovery's for this device. Any help is appreciated!
Insignia NSP10A7100
I was playing around with adb and fastboot tonight and did learn a few things. I had to use "sudo fastboot flashing unlock" to get the bootloader unlocked. Whatever that switch is in developer options to unlock did not seem to unlock anything. I did a getvar all and the output showed it as locked. sudo fastboot with no options gave me the list of commands to use. After reboot there was a screen that warned about the bootloader being unlocked and that it was not safe. I thought it was going to be stuck there but it did finally reboot into a fresh system. I've got files with the output of getvar all and bugreport if any of that info would help anyone with the rooting. If anyone can point me to more research I'll continue to play with this.

I just got one and trying to access fastboot. I have model p10a7100. When I pick fastboot from recovery mode, I momentarily get resting android with "no command" and get recovery mode again. Because of low ram, I would like root access to install magisk for modules. Please explain your unlock method.

Teach us your adb method. I have tried everything and it won't enter fastboot mode. If I type adb reboot fastboot, it just bypasses fastboot and boots up the tablet to android.
Update: I entered the adb command adb reboot fastboot and I get a giant green screen with a walking android robot in the center. Then I lose contact with the tablet. Never saw that before.

That is what I did also although I used "sudo adb reboot fastboot". Still not sure if the sudo is required? The giant green screen means you are in fastboot mode now. Type "fastboot" at the terminal to see a list of commands. The one I used to unlock was "sudo fastboot flashing unlock_critical". Type "sudo fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability" to find out if you are able to unlock the bootloader. This is as far as I got. Apparently I could now flash an image if I could find one that would be compatible. If you get any further or find one let me know.

Are you on Windows? I'm on Ubuntu. Not sure what would cause that. Maybe someone out there with more knowledge will chime in. Good luck.
Here is a link to a temp cwm recovery and root instructions for a nuvision 8 inch tablet. According to the post it might work on other intel based tablets. Disclaimer: You may brick your device. I still can't establish an adb connection to test this. I have adb with the tablet booted. I lose it in fastboot or recovery. I was able to unbrick my nuvision after 2 years of waiting for a method.

Did you ever get the source code for this tablet?
Has anybody ever gotten this boot loader to unlock on this specific model ? Ive been trying for days and I have the unlock code that DC unlocker furnished. ADB keeps saying failed and it sees my device. It has a funny boot loader with limited options, not like your normal boot loader. I would really like to unlock it and install twrp. Ive had great success with other phones and tablets but this one here is a booger. Any feed back or solutions would be great. Love this phone.just not EMUI...
Huawei Sensa on sale for $19.99 Refurb
I am looking for the same answers. I bought 5 of these phones at $20 each refurbed. I would like to use them for fun/stupid projects. Root would be required for some of my projects. TWRP would be very nice as well. If any one has any insight. I got on huawei support chat. They claim it is a Snapdragon 615 Soc , it is underclocked to 1.2Ghz to keep the heat issues to a minimum.

This phone have a root method ? H715BL version
ANYONE ?
Same question here. I got as far as getting a boot unlock code. I can't seem to get into fastboot. Oem Unlock is turned on. I did Volume down+Power from off, and I tried Volume down + inserting usb cable. No luck. I also ran the adb command "reboot bootloader". Still no fastboot.
When I run fastboot command while in the screen with the little android (volume down + Power) the phone is listed but "fastboot oem unlock" fails as an unknown command.
Do we really need to unlock the bootloader for root? Isn't it just for Twrp? I can do without Twrp since I'll have other rooted backup methods. I'll try a few root apps and see I guess.
gggirlgeek::: how did you manage get bootloader unlock code
To unlock bl need latest platform tool sdk to send fastboot commands

I already found the solution, but it will erase your data.
with the adb commands you must restart the device in boorloader mode:
adb reboot bootloader
Then when I take you to the bootloader screen what you have to write next:
fastboot oem lock
(Remember the phone will be erased)
then to restart the device you have to:
fastboot reboot
And the device will reboot.
what you do is lock it, so that you can then unlock it in a simple way.
(If you do not know what the ADB is, warn man), I hope it helps you and those who enter here too :good:
@l3dson: Be careful before relocking the bootloader: The phone MUST be 100% stock or you will have a brick.
@Mohammedbi: Your bootloader is still unlocked, even after flashing the KDZ. It's just the newly flashed ROM doesn't know it, and you don't need it to.
Just go to fastboot (PowerOff, Vol- while plugging in cable) and flash TWRP. Follow ChazzMatt's root guide for the initial TWRP steps.

What exactly is not working?
ADB doesn't require Enable OEM Unlock to be set. Just plug it in and ADB away - unless drivers or cable or port aren't working.
And your bootloader is still unlocked if it was unlocked before you flashed stock Oreo. You should be able to enter fastboot using the steps described in the post just before yours.
Edit: Of course you have to enable USB debugging in order to use ADB. I'm sure you knew that

hey i have this same problem and been asking around... but the adb reboot command will not work because it says the phone must be "enabled oem unlock" mode before you can use adb commands... which is greyed out..so back to square one... how to enable it?? any suggestions on this??
Hello i wanted to ask about this since i dont see any other thread related to my issue, im trying to install magisk root and im at the stage of accessing fastboot/bootloader, when i go to recovery mode and select "reboot to bootloader" it just restarts the phone, i have tried adb commands didnt work either, same result, just restarts. The "unlock oem" option under developer options is enabled, i could flash another firmware of the same phone with SPD upgrade tool and its still not letting me get into bootloader, (to do this i must press down vol down and connect the usb while the program is on, and it is detected, otherwise it just restarts adb and fastboot tools will not detect it as download mode) any idea or suggestions on how I could root the phone, been thinking about twrp but not sure it would let me install that, looked into many pages about rooting this device and none show anything related maybe its not possible, i saw there are phones with blocked bootloader. the phone is android 9
Have you tried to
- flash the boot.img from the stockfirmware;
- install a recovery (twrp, orangefox, etc.) and rebooted to fastboot from recovery?

TWRP and orangefox dont support my phone, there may be something unnoficial for twrp as i search and im not sure i can flash the phone with a specific boot file since to flash i use a single .pac file that contains the rom ill look into this
For now im not able to flash the phone with custom boot.img or recovery.img maybe i need to pack specific files i dont know about i give up for today

Hello everybody,
My phone's battery died and I charged it. When I tried to turn it on, I saw this screen. I've tried clicking on the options but it's stuck in a loop and I don't understand what's happening.
If anyone has experienced this issue before, I'm reaching out for your help. Please assist me.
Flashing factory firmware in fastboot might be the only option. Doing such will wipe everything on your device though!

Since your bootloader is locked the only way to flash the OS is to sideload the Full OTA via ADB or use Pixel Flasher to sideload it. If you happen to have OEM Unlocking enabled in Developer Options you can use Android Flash Tool as that will unlock your bootloader as long as OEM Unlocking is enabled. If it isn't, sideloading the OTA will be the only way to reinstall your OS to hopefully get you out of this.

Oops! You are right, mate.
Hello so I am stuck here
When I go to Android Flash Tool it's says :
"Device Unlock Disabled​For security reasons, you need to enable "OEM unlocking" in order to flash your device. "
And when I tape in CMD the command "faastboot falshing unlock" it says
"FAILED (remote: 'flashing unlock is not allowed')
fastboot: error: Command failed"
Is there a way to unlock the devices states I have seen a video when
when a guy is using a unlock.bin he download at LG offcial site. Does Google have an alternative where can I download this type of file for my Pixel 6.
Google doesn't have an alternative. If you can't flash the OTA, and apparently you can't because OEM unlocking wasn't enabled in developer options, you need to get a hold of Google and explain your situation to them. You'll likely have to send it back to them, if able to do so.
You can't enable OEM unlock by fastboot/recovery.
Can you boot into recovery?
If yes, then this is your only way out!

Use image of OTA, not Full!

Unfortunately, it is not possible as my phone is showing that it is locked and I am unable to access the settings to unlock the OEM, since I am stuck in fastboot mode. Guess it's dead only if there is a way to unlock the OEM without going to setting.

You don't get to do anything from fastboot with OEM locked.

Unfortunately, when I go into recovery mode, it keeps looping back to the original screen in an infinite loop.
I lost hope and went to a repair shop, but they told me to contact Google. The customer service will send me a package to return my phone. I didn't know that the OEM was so important, I will activate it next time. Tanks for your helps ...
