[Q] Custom Recoveryless in Texas - Asus Padfone X and S

OY! Not sure where to post this, as my tablet is not terribly popular. If I'm ruffling feathers by posting here, my sincerest apologies! I have an Asus Memo Pad 8 (4.2.2). I managed to get it rooted with Kingo. However, it ain't got no custom recovery. I tried ROM Manager to flash CWM to no avail. I just downloaded TWRP manager, and again, my device is not listed. TWRP manager does match me up with another Asus tablet (A68). Would it be safe to flash this recovery on my tablet? I've seen many people list model numbers, e.g. M3... ME... But I've no idea what model number mine is. I look in the "About" section of the settings And do not see a number resembling the combination of numbers and letters that I've seen on various forums. Any input would be much appreciated!

[Q] Eken T01 allwinner tablet CWM?

Is CWM available for the Eken T01? I have posted this question several times on other boards and never got an answer either way. I just got this tablet and I have rooted it. However I would really like to make backups with CWM like I do with my phone because it has saved my butt more than once. LOL
Thanks so much for any input.
You can tell if its 'officially' supported by installing Rom Manager and letting it see if a recovery is available. If not you'll have to wait until official support (not likely) or a port.
I tried Rom Manager. It does recognize the model T01A but says it’s not officially supported. Then it asks if I have installed a clockwork based recovery manually.
Then the answer would be... no, unfortunately.

Ok thanks. At least now I know and won’t be searching the internet for info on it.
CWM recovery
Guys, I took the risk and I flashed this CWM recovery for Allwinner A10 Tablet to my EKEN T01A http://www.mediafire.com/?7664zjk4rhc7ba1
I have good and bad news.
The good news is: The CWM recovery was ported without any problem.
BUT
The bad news is: I can not navigate using the volume buttons and even touching the options did not work.
Hope some one can shed a light on this.
By the way, here the original recovery of our EKEN T01A just for comparison https://www.dropbox.com/s/q1ch82zugl88mix/recovery.img

I'm pretty sure that’s the same recovery I am using. I found that you can use a USB keyboard to navigate the menus. I have made a successful backup and actually used it. "I was experimenting with some scripts and got stuck in a boot loop"LOL Anyway the recovery process went smooth as silk. Admittedly it’s not the ideal process but hey...at least you can make a backup.
Also I found out today that there is a developer "Roger Calver" over at dragondevs.com that has just started working on a custom rom for the T01. The forum has just opened a section exclusively for the Eken T01. So looks like we’ll be getting some development going for this thing.

I just installed CWM for the scroll extreme on my T01 and it works great. Now the vol button works the menu. You use the power to choose and there is even a "back" option in the menu since the T01 doesn’t have a hard back button.

I found a link to a CWM for another tablet that was workable for my T01A. I found it on the website http://dragondevs.com/thread-80.html. I followed the instructions there and was able to load and use CWM.
I know this is an old thread but I had to pull my old Eken out because somebody wanted to by it. I cant find the scroll CWM anymore so I'll try this one.
Thanks
Uh oh. Link no linger works
Like I said I know this is an old thread but any chance you know where I can still get this?
Never mind. I found one. Sorry to trouble you.

[Q] Unable to Root HTC Evo Design 4g. Version 2.3.4

Hello there, I was hoping somebody could help me with this.
So i've been trying to get my Evo Design 4g rooted but I always seem to get in some sort of a problem in the last steps. I first tried Frigid's SuperUserV3(in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114), but did not get the phone rooted, I even got the colored flashing screen that says "Rooted" but superuser(Downloaded from Google Play) does not find a thing, the root checker says my phone is not rooted, and Titanium Backup says it cannot get access and that I need to root my phone.
Therefore I tried a different approach to the problem, and after some hours of research I found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470038
Which says that after all of that I will be able to "root" my Evo design, it pretty much tells you to use the same steps as this other post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
(by the way I do not really know what HBoot 1.5 means or what is it's purpose)
So after following the instructions on both of the posts I've done the first steps without problem, my Design already has been unlocked and I have already pushed the Recovery.img and the su.zip into the SD, I also went into fastboot and had the recovery option in there, I selected it and the phone started to restart as in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGlTGu_CBLI&feature=player_embedded
I however did not get anything after the HTC screen with the white background, it just stays there, I've waited for like aprox. 10 mins and it doesn't move or change so I'm guessing something must be wrong.
Now I don't know if all of this is not working because of my phone's version.
It is relatively new I got it a week ago as a replacement for an older one that had some problems with the charge port. Anyways, as soon as the phone was given to me I updated and everything(I did not Think/Know a lot about rooting at this point so I let it all install and it left me with this software version:
Android Version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense Version: 3.0 (I don't know if it has anything to do with rooting or this)
Software Number: 2.12.651.8 710RD
All of this as of may 31 2012
I also found this other post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399351
It does has some stuff on it for after the rooting and 2 links to do so but, they seem to be outdated/dead as the link that takes you to supertool still reads v2, and he has already released v3. The second one seems to take you to a page that doesn't exist anymore so the post just doesn't seem to be able to help me.
I also tried some of the other posts that this page recommended when posting this but none of them seem to have a real answer and take me in some kind of a loophole of the early mentioned options or have no answers about the rooting.
As an ultimate resource I've been pondering about using rEVOked with the settings of the Evo 4g since it seems to be very similar to my phone, or at least something similar to those words. Also tried UnlockRoot at some point in between but didn't work at all either. Don't think it is relevant though since there is not a lot I can do or work with when it comes to a one-click program.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated and I will try my best to continue researching and maybe post any changes or an official way to root this device since it seems as there is none around at least not to this point.
I am new to here and the whole rooting topic but i will try my best to be useful to the community and keep posting useful stuff around here.
Thanks!. Btw your noob video is hilarious.
I'm going to suggest you check out the design 4g / hero s section in the forums of sdx-developers.com & 2fastroms.com (2fast's site is down atm, but most files you need are in his download section for the hero s). There isn't an official sub section for the phone here at xda & its hard to find support. 2fast has a cwm recovery, custom kernels, & roms that works great with the design 4g (I'll pm links as soon as the site is back up). Sdx-developers gears towards more roms & mods. You will find a section for rooting your design at sdx here http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=19080.0 Sorry for not answering your question & just refering you to other sites, but I think you will find you solution & more support from the sites I posted than here at xda.
Thanks, it seems as that actually was the page that the other post was redirecting me to, so I guess I'll have to wait for that; I actually found that the problem might be that the Recovery.img that I'm using does not work on Evo Design/ Hero S phones. I found a different image on a post in here that got extracted from a Foreign forum, I'll try that after class and then see how everything goes. I would still love to get a link to a forum that has an "official" root for it though.
Thanks a lot
This is the correct recovery (clockworkmod) for the design 4g. Just rename it to Ph44IMG & place it on your sd card. Boot to hboot & let the phone find it & select to install. Remove or rename file from you sd card before you try to boot into your os. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24065431/Design_PH44IMG.zip
Is that one for Sprint?
I'm in Indonesia and had tried recovery for Boost one and had GSM problem, no signal at all.

Stock Recovery Needed For ZTE Avail 2 (Z992 - AT&T)

I have a ZTE Avail 2 which I recently managed to root with Cydia Impactor. Afterwards I managed to screw it up by removing too many stock apps with Titanium. I did it carefully, one by one, and for a few days everything seemed to work fine. But then apps started force-closing, '<name of app here> has stopped working', etc. Factory reset doesnt help, it just restores me to the same screwed up state I'm in now. I already know why, it's because I removed some of the stock apps, which I now realize it needs. I'm currently stuck on the AT&T logo when powering on, it never gets any further. But even while it was messed up it was still halfway-operable, and now this. This device's subforum on Android Forums is all but non-existent, and XDA doesnt seem to have anything for it.
What I need is a 100% stock ROM (pre-rooted if possible) that I can flash, along with instructions on how to flash it. I have some experience flashing ASUS devices and Samsung devices, mainly the Transformer pad, and the Note 2, but have also rooted miscellaneous other devices in the past without alot of issues. But I have no experience with ZTE. I've already checked the manaufacturer's website for some kind of recovery software I can use to restore it, there doesnt seem to be anything.
Thanks for any help!

did you ever get around to doing this? there is supposedly a stock image on androidforums but when I opened the Zip, all it had was the stock apps, no build.prop, which I think I blew away with xblast (xposed plugin). now I hang on the boot screen image. there is a stock Rom for the z993 our there, which I suppose I could use, because they are supposed to be the same phone, just different carriers... but then I need to get the at&t apn's and it is just a PITA. so if you could post /system backup or just a stock build.prop, that would be great!
(I'd post links to these rooms but I guess I'm too new of a member... I can provide them if needed.)
I'm way late on this, but just thought I'd post to say that I no longer have the device, and I was never able to fix it.In any case, I hope the rest of you guys get it fixed. It seemed to be a halfway decent phone, although a bit sluggish at times. But beyond that, with all the bloat removed, I'd say it ran pretty well for the duration of time that I had it (less than a month). I currently have a GNote 3 (T-Mobile) and a GNote Pro 12.2" now and it's just awesome, I'm really loving them.
Sorry, accidental double-post (can't figure out how to delete this post, the "Edit/Delete" button doesnt appear to have any option to entirely delete a post).
Just like "AnonVendetta83" messed up using Titanium.
Now desperately looking for Stock ROM or any working custom ROM to bring phone back to life.:crying:

There is a working custom Rom for the z993 (identical hardware, different customized software for AIO, another cell provider). All you will need to do is change/update the data provider stuff so you can still use 3g and mms's. Plenty of info on this online on what needs to be changed.
You can get this Rom over at androidforums.com
http://androidforums.com/prelude-all-things-root/792279-zte-prelude-z993-stock-unrooted-rom-aio.html
There is also a cwm recovery there that works on this phone, and a partial /system backup by someone else for the z992... it is just apps and what not.
If they aren't available anymore, let me know and ill see if I still have them saved somewhere for you.

Thank you so very much Alex
I was wondering if I can just simply place the rom zip on the root of your sdcard and continue without doing "Install CWM - ZTE Prelude (Z993) Root&Recovery" step???
Honestly I have absolutely no idea how to do CWM steps as they come so complicated to me.

You need to install the custom recovery... It is the only way to install the zip file. If you just have the zip and go into the stock recovery I don't think you can select which zip to install

Thnx Alex
I would highly appreciate if anyone tell me what ADB Driver I should use for ZTE Z992. I almost understood all the procedure in the links but now the problem is despite I tried different ADB Drivers, but still ADB reboot-bootloader boots phone again in Normal bootloader.
Also Fastboot devices command does not see the phone, while ADB Devices command see it.
Seems bootloader is locked. Right? What should I do?
This is the method I used when I rooted my avail2 :
http://androidforums.com/zte-avail-2-zte-prelude/821217-how-root-zte-avail-2-z992-guide.html
The author (and I) just used the included drivers from zte that come with the phone. From what I remember, fastboot worked fine. Just hold the volume down button then turn the phone on. It will seem to lock on the start screen, but this is the bootloader. Then connect your cable and try your fastboot commands.
If you are already rooted, you can just download the package here
http://androidforums.com/prelude-all-things-root/797487-cwm-recovery-installer-zte-prelude.html
And skip the middle section, using the impactor to root (13 and 14).
Depending on what's wrong with your phone, you could also try just using the stock recovery and doing a system reset there. It will wipe any bad custom settings, but if the rom is still viable it might get you up and running again. It got me out of a bootloop without re-romming the whole thing. And with titanium backup or system app mover you can reinstall anything you need in the system partition.

A bit to much fiddling resulted in disaster
Hello XDA forum users,
I'm about ready to toss this phone in the trash. I have an AT&T Avail 2 with model number z992, which is apparently manufactured by a company called ZTE. First I think it would be helpful to explain what I've done to the phone and perhaps others out there can tell me if I've destroyed the phone or if it can be fixed.
A friend of mine sold me the phone for 10 bucks, its in great condition which is why its such a shame that it seems perma-bricked. I have no need for the phone aspect of the device, I simply wanted to "convert" it to a handheld media/application player, like an ipod or tablet for example. The phone comes with several bundled software applications that I find completely useless and wanted them removed, EX. AT&T Navigator and other AT&T software, plus a bunch of google applications.
The first thing I did when I decided to try and customize it was to use Kango's root tool which worked and rooted the phone. I was all excited that it worked and continued by installing the Super User application which allowed me to gain full control over the device. (I should have stopped there.) After the successful phone root I then installed a 3rd party app called NoBloat and used its uninstall options to remove a lot of stuff. I couldn't tell you exactly what all was removed but looking back, it must have been more important than I realized at the time. I know I took out all the AT&T software, then all the Google stuff to, which destroyed the play store. I didn't take out anything that seemed like a system file but apparently the Google stuff is the system files. The phone still worked in this state but it was erratic and things like Contacts would crash even if it was not running. So I considered that a failed attempt and commenced to do a factory reset using the recovery menu (Vol Up + Menu Key + Power button) but the factory reset didn't work, well not like it was supposed to. I had used the restore option before and it made the phone work like it was brand new. Now when the phone is powered on it will boot to the initial setup and ask me to choose a language, then it will get as far as the wireless connection screen (sometime not even that far) and the phone reports that "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." and then I tap OK and the setup wizard restarts at the language screen. This is the state it is in now and I do not know how to fix it, I'm beginning to think there currently is no method to fix this.
Things I've tried so far include installing minimal ADB-Fastboot to try and sideload various ROM images, the ones I found here and other places. The phone is not recognized by Windows 7 though and the ADB does not work like it did on a motorola phone I did this to before. I've also purchased an inexpensive 8GB microSD chip with an adapter so I could put the ROM info on that and tried the "Update from external storage option" and that seems like it would work but none of the ROM's I've used will install. I guess because there is some kind of security feature built into the phones hardware which checks the data files for specific tags/sizes and therefore won't accept any of the ROMS I've tried.
There is no means to access the old file system anymore like most guides show, I do not have any CWM's installed nor any backup data whatsoever. It's been reset and now it seems the data it used to restore itself is, while not completely missing, damaged and will not reload anymore. All the guides I've read or watched usually show the user in the operating system or using software on a PC to type out commands. None of that works on this phone though, the phone as I just described it is basically bricked. Is there anything that can fix this, or is the phone a paper weight now? A functional ROM image from AT&T seems unlikely as they have absolutely no relevant information about this on the commercial website and the help and support seems like it's setup for old people who don't understand technology at all. If anyone out there has experience with issues like this then by all means let me know. If more information is necessary then I will be glad to provide it if available.
Alright I did manage to figure out how to make the computer see the phone as an ADB device and the minimal ADB interface shows the device now when I type ADB devices at the command prompt. Though this ADB thing seems irrelevant considering I can do the same thing by using the SD card adapter. So I don't know if this was useful or not. The ADB prompt shows a device number of P752A15.
Before I was unable to make the device show up at all in the ADB list. The problem now is how to make the phone accept a ROM, at this point I don't even care if the ROM is the default factory ROM or some random ROM made by a devoted user. The issue I encounter each time is that the built in recovery option to restore from an SD card will not accept the ROM's I've tried so far, and my research on this seems to indicate that I need a custom recovery option. This is apparently called the ClockWorkMod but as to how I install that without a functional operating system on the device is a mystery still. I've tried using a file called recovery.zip and but it does not show up when I view the contents of the SD card when the card is in the phone.
I feel like an idiot because I've done this to other phones for my family and friends, you know jailbreaking an iPhone, and rooted a Galaxy S3 once but this phone seems like its not going to be as easy as those others. I guess AT&T made sure that if you alter it, it breaks the phone. I'll check back later and see if anyone has dropped a line or two here in response to my inquiry.
Thank you and have good day.

Ok, been a while since I've used this phone, but hopefully this will help. I assume you have the kaw202_recoveryflasher.zip file. Once you extract it, look for the .img file. Try running these adb commands
adb.exe push cwm-z993.img /cache
adb.exe shell "su -c 'dd if=/cache/cwm-z993.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17'
This should flash cwm if your phone is rooted and adb shell is working.

I have not come across that particular file yet, I did try to google it and the only results it had were two and one of those was this post. Would you mind telling me where I might find a copy of the kaw202_recoverflasher.zip?
I managed to find the zip you were talking about and have downloaded it, for anyone else looking for it. I am unable to post links but I would have linked to the files you mentioned. For others looking for the same zip file search for "CWM Recovery Installer ZTE PRELUDE". That's the title of the thread I found the file on that Alex mentioned above. The instructions on the page don't seem like they apply to the situation I'm stuck in but I'll give it a whirl anyway and see if the files work.
If this forum is like the others I've read through so far then there is no real answer to the issue. The phone seems kind of new and not many of the power users on these forums use rinky dink phones like this one. You guys all have the 600 dollar models I guess. What bugs me about this this phone and the state I managed to put it in, is that the damn thing was programmed the first time when it was made. So it seems to me like there should be a way to reprogram the phone the same way the factory did it. Think about it, when they make the phones they don't have any information on the phone at all. It's completely empty, so there must be a way to load the software for the phone even if the phone has no data at all in the main storage. If the files in the recovery flasher.zip file work then I'll post back the results but if it's like the other files I've messed around with (which didn't do anything) then I'm throwing it in the trash can.
Anyway thanks for your response and for pointing me in a different direction Alex

HELL YEAH!!! It worked thank you Alex, ​
I would have never figured this out without your help! The phone now has a version of CWM on it and the recovery menu is different. I just tried to install a ROM and it said successful. After the phone rebooted went back to the setup screen from ZTE but it still did the same thing. However this is progress and I should be able to "wander in the dark" and figure out a way to use the CWM to install a completely new rom. Any recommendations on a ROM to use for the z992?
Good news, I was able to fix it using the information Alex guided me to find. Since there doesn't appear to be a stock AT&T version of the ROM I ended up using the Azazel ROM. Which at first failed even though it was installed, this I determined was due to the old ROM image still being partially active on the system partition. So I formatted the system partition to and tried again. This time it worked and the phone seems fully functional again, and best of all the annoying bloatware is not present and the apps are not crashing. I consider this issue resolved. Thank you again Alex I will be sure to leave a thanks on your post.

Glad I could help, but none of the work was done by me, the guys over at android central did all the heavy lifting, I just pointed you in the right direction. I have a stock system e m image around here somewhere if you need it, tho installation will be a bit more complicated. If azazels rom ever gives you issues, ill dig it up and try and help you install it.

another nextbp7 problem

It's almost time to upgrade but right now, I need to do everything I can for the nbp7.
I have been searching, reading, and attempting everything I could find to fix this tablet for night and days. Some root/busybox detectors/verifiers gave me different results. Before this I knew nothing about this world so i'm a real greenhorn here. All I know so far is my device is rooted because of build no. V2.0.1.JRO03C.user.root.20131219. Afterwards some apps tell me I'm rooted and some told me no. I'm afraid something went terribly wrong with the files. I can't unroot,flash a new recovery, install adb, pretty much nothing works. All the apps I've tried told me an unknown bootloader. I just want to either return the tablet to original factory default or take control of the thing. This is the info I gathered from settings>about :
Model NX007HD8G
Android V. 4.1.1
Kernel 3.0.8
Serial no. YF031412173
And the build number above
At the moment I don't know what other info you guys might need so forgive me if I'm not thorough. Please, help me take control of my device.
( this is a copy&paste from XDA Assist forum, my first thread, I now have some new info )
I found a thread at freaktab.com by Shaunmt few days back. thread dated 2012 but closest to my tablet. I tried it of course and it didn't work, my recovery screen was already recovery 3e. Modified or not I'm not sure,but I found the ulmage recovery file just some file, not an image. I just followed his instructions from there but I think the instructions are wrong at some point. Maybe XDA can verify and confirm the package. If all goes well this would really shorten this case :laugh: .
URL : freaktabdotcom in forum under tablet support android & search for nextbook tablet amlogic next7hd8g nx007hd8g modified recovery stock ROM flashable root.
( lol those were the URL, I just took out the characters and symbols, sorry for the inconvenience ) . This is my third post, please bare with me.

Accidentally flashed wrong TWRP.

Hi all, I am new to this forum. Please don't mind if this was not the right place/section to start a thread. I was trying to gain more knowledge and trying to fix my tablet. I was looking to install TWRP (as I remember, or it was some bootloader I guess), but unfurtunately my device was not listed. So by looking up at the motherboard sticker and doing some research about the similar tablets on google. I felt that installing a specific version was a good idea. I followed steps listed on a site to flash it into tablet using adb, and by booting it in recovery mode.
It turned out to be a disaster for my tablet, which is now stuck at black screen and won't show anything. If anyone can please help me out to fix it, It would be highly appreciated.
My tablet's name is Waywalkers M9, 10.1 inch. Bought from aliexpress.

Hey,
Do not panic, all you need to do is install the stock firmware for that tablet, then flash it using odin app, and it should work again. You should find the stock firmware on google.

hello, really thanks for reply and the help
as I read the ODIN software is for samsung tablets. Mine is some Chinese one called Waywalkers M9 and I also not have its stock firmware. I tried very hard to find one, but unfortunately neither I found it on internet, and even seller is not responding to it.
