Init.d Support for J3 2016 - Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Guides, News, & Discussio

[Sorry for my English]
Hello. Guys
I made this thread for Samsung galaxy J3 2016 and for (J320H) specific cuz i know that until now there's no custom rom or kernel for this model (J320H) so i decide to made this thread for the people who own the same model that i have and want init.d support to execute some scripts.
some people may ask way i made this thread will first cuz as far as i searched there's no app to make Init.d Support for android 5.1x there's only one Successful script that it work thanks to @Ryuinferno (the one who made it) but even if you want to execute it you have to use terminal or script manger but there's a problem that the enter key didn't work in either in terminal or script manger so i have edit the script to work without pressing the enter key so once you run the script it will automatically work and you don't have to press enter key any more :highfive:
what we need :
1. rooted android phone
2. Script manger app (you could download it from playstore)
Steps:
1. download the script
>> download link : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4xrFUb_nfZZczZpNEtuTUhWUnM
2. then put the script on your phone storage or sd card what ever you like
3. open script manger and native to the script and run the script as root (only root)
4. reboot your device if it still not active reboot the device again
Credit
1. @Ryuinferno the one who made the script all thanks go to him

if you want to build lineage-os u need this device tree, vendor tree, kernel tree. and i think there's no one did provide this device tree cuz it's rare chipset... so u must build the device tree so u can build the rom to the device... so if any developer made a tree 4 this device and this will be great and then u could port what ever u want cuz the porting process will be more easier but for our bad luck that's didin't happend, so my advice to u bro is try to port N7,S7 roms i don't now if it will be more easier than CM and lineage OS but it will be more stable and will be fast and good with battery so i will try to port this rom to J3 any help will be awesome.. and ofcourse if you have made any process with lineage os rom i will be glad to help u with fixing bugs and teasting if u want to

TWRP 2.8.3.0, Tool/Utility for the Micromax A116
Contributors

Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: 2.8.3.0u1
Stable Release Date: 2014-12-26
Created 2014-12-22
Last Updated 2014-12-29
Reserved
Changelog :
2.8.3.0u1 :
- Added F2FS tools. Can be used to format filesystems to F2FS.
- Removed SuperSU (to fit into partition)
2.8.3.0 :
- MTP will now tell the host PC that storage is removed instead of disabling MTP completely
- MTP will now report the correct max file size based on the file system in use to the host PC (may fix transfer of large files)
- Update and improve fix permissions and make fixing contexts optional
- Update SuperSU in TWRP to 2.40 and update install process
- Make TWRP work properly on AArch64 (Nexus 9 is now built in true 64-bit binaries and libraries)
- Attempt to set correct permissions and contexts on all files placed in storage so backups will show in Android
- Fix kernel panic during MTP start on some devices
- Support unicode fonts on devices with True Type Font support
- Fix slider value not showing sometimes (vibration settings page)
- Toggle MTP off during adb sideload to set correct USB IDs
- Reduce library requirements for 5.0 L decrypt
2.8.2.0 :
-Pull in all changes from Android 5.0 lollipop into TWRP
-Add decrypt support for Android 5.0 lollipop encrypted partitions including automatic decrypt when the default_password is in use
-Revert some changes to exFAT that were breaking exFAT support on some devices
-Other minor fixes and updates
Note: At this time we do not have a GUI representation for pattern unlock. You can still decrypt patterns though by translating the pattern dots to numbers. The pattern dots correspond to numbers in the following pattern:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
So an upper-case L would translate to a password of 14789 entered on the keyboard. Eventually we plan to add a proper pattern unlock to TWRP but it is a relatively low priority at this point.
Also note that you will need the latest adb binaries on your computer to sideload with this new version of TWRP.
2.8.1.0 :
- MTP fixes and improvements - you can now copy zips to the root of storage - thanks to _that
- TrueType Font support - optional as it takes up a decent amount of space so may not be available on all devices - thanks to Tassadar
- Temperature support - thanks to bigbiff
- Various other bugfixes and tweaks
2.8.0.1 :
- Fix a bug that caused weird graphics and touch issues
2.8.0.0 :
- Add MTP support to recovery thanks mostly to bigbiff with a little help from Dees_Troy
- Add command line capabilities - you can now execute various TWRP features via adb instead of the touchscreen
- Add support for color in the console and give error, warning, and highlight lines different colors
- Track backup and restore progress based on file sizes to provide a much more accurate indication of progress
- Improve handling of /misc thanks to mdmower
- Improve setting of time on Qualcomm devices thanks to [NUT]
- Allow using images on slidervalue GUI objects thanks to Tassadar
- Allow using variables and addition and subtraction in variables for easier theming
- Add support for 1440x2560, 280x280, and 320x320 resolutions and update 240x240
- Allow ui.xml file to include additional xml files to help break up the theme and make TWRP easier to maintain
- Other minor fixes and improvements
Over the course of the last year or so, bigbiff has worked to migrate various Java functions from Android's MTP implementation to bring you a fully C++ based MTP implementation that allows you to transfer files to both emulated storage and Micro SD cards. It's confirmed to work on various Nexus devices but we may have to make some changes on other devices to keep Windows happy. Windows is very picky about USB IDs and its drivers. We have tested it on Windows 7 and 8 as well as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty. MTP is enabled by default, but we do toggle it off and on automatically during certain operations such as if you choose to wipe a storage partition. You can enable or disable MTP under the mount menu in TWRP. For more about what MTP is here.
Note: Due to a weird bug with our MTP setup, you cannot copy a zip file to the root of storage with Windows. You can change the .zip to something else like .txt and then copy it to the root and rename the file back to .zip once it's copied to the device. You can also copy the zip into any subfolder.
Command line support is also now available. You can perform various OpenRecoveryScript commands via the adb shell. Depending on what you are doing you may wish to do a "twrp set tw_mtp_enabled 0" and then reboot to prevent the MTP auto toggle from killing your adb interface. You can use this option to create and restore backups, wipe, install zips, and more. Via adb shell, type twrp followed by a space then enter the OpenRecoveryScript command and hit enter. Find more OpenRecoveryScript commands here.
2.7.1.0 :
- Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.
- Various bugfixes to backup and restore
- Improvements to USB storage handling
- Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
- Various other bugfixes and tweaks

The font used is the new default in TWRP, from v2.8.1.0.
Refer to this commit.
All you need to do is to unpack the ramdisk, add RobotoCondensed-Regular.ttf to /res/fonts/ and change the following in /res/ui.xml according to the required resolution.
Repack and you have the font.

New Method to Root M4 Aqua Dual E2363 *26.1.B.1.85 Found on Locked Bootloader. Please click on new method under Root How to root 5.0 Lollipop with RootkitXperia AND CHECK HIS TWITTER FOR UPDATES
STEP BY STEP NOOB GUIDE FOR TWRP AND ROOTING
BOATLOADER
YOU CAN UNOFFICIALLY UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER HERE
You first need to unlock your bootloader before you can root your device.
@lucaszell for the amazing guide. @Sam205 for pointing it out in M4 Aqua forum
1. Go to Sony Website HERE
2. Choose M2 or M and complete the steps to get your KEY
3. Install Flashtool
4. Go to Settings - About phone - Status
Scroll to down to see serial number. (device name)
Amended for clarifications
1.: Go to the folder where Flashtool is installed. Usually C:/Flashtool
2.: Open the folder named "Custom"
3.: Open the folder named "Mydevices" (if it exists, in my case Flashtool version 0.9.18.4) (You may create if it doesnot)
3b.: In the newer Flashtool, you need to put the folder in "C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\registeredDevices" in step 3.
That is, if you've picked the default for your flashtool home folder or you can choose manually.
4.: Create A New Folder and Rename the folder with your device code. Refer to Obs2 how to find your device code
5.: Open the folder created previously
6.: Create a new text file and rename it as ulcode
7.: Paste your unlock code and save it in the text file
8.: Open Flashtools and try the BLU option again.
Obs 1: the step #3 I think it depends on your Flashtool version, because it wasn't mentioned at the solution
Obs 2: at the step #4 is mentioned your device code. your device code is showed in the log when you click the button BLU, at the "Current device", after your device model.
Search a line like:
09/045/2015 23:45:08 - INFO - Current device : C2104 - AB100C2DE3 - 1272-4136_R5B - 1269-5420_15.3.A.1.17 - WORLD-a_15.3.A.1.17
in this case, the device code is AB100C2DE3 and this should be the new folder name (step 4)
ROOT
NEW METHOD by @cubeundcube for locked bootloaders

TWRP Recovery for M4 Aqua (No gui, command line only)
This is for E2303 I didn't test on other models, feel free to do so but I take no responsibility whatsoever if anything happens
This will disable OTA updates, if you want them back you can flash the FOTA kernel with FlashTool​
Confrmed to be working on those variants:
E2303, E2306, E2333, E2353, E2363
Ok here it is thanks to @jeffreyvh kernel we can finally flash zips however we have 3 catches:
1. No GUI (Sony's fault until they provide full sources for our phones, we're stuck here)
2. You have to mount /system, /data and /cache manually (Working on it)
3. No external SD card support (working on it)
No problem? Cool..
Ok here's how to do it:
0. You need unlocked bootloader <-- Click here to see how
1. Download the recovery.img
2. Flash the recovery file with fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. Pull the cable turning off your phone.
4. Press the power button + volume down, when the phone vibrates, press the volume down button repetedly.
5. The Sony logo will disappear and you'll get a black screen (It's okay, congrats you've now booted twrp)
Now for the magic:
Connect your cable, make sure you have ADB and drivers installed.
In your terminal or dos window type:
Code:
adb shell
you'll get a prompt like ~ #
type these three commands:
Code:
mount -w /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/system /system
mount -w /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/userdata /data
mount -w /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/cache /cache
Now that you have the partition mounted you can flash your zip files:
We don't have external SD card support so for now we're going to stick with sideload
type:
Code:
twrp sideload
adb shell will exit, it's okay now we can install the zip file like this:
Code:
adb sideload <path_to_zip>
path to zip on your computer without the < >
so if you downloaded superSU on C:\Downloads\SuperSU.zip
you type
Code:
adb sideload C:\Downloads\SuperSU.zip
when you're done type:
Code:
adb reboot
and pull the cable
For Rooting:
Download SuperSU flashable zip from here https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU
and flash it like explained before
good luck

SONY OFFICIAL TOOLS
Sony PC Companion
This tool is officially from Sony and can be used to repair your drive.

http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/
It is for those who do not prefer unofficial ways!
EMMA
Refer to it here for instructions and download:

FLASHTOOL
This tool is used to flash stock/custom kernels/recoveries to your device
Download link
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Instructions
I found this guide very helpful and thus you can refer it here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
SOME CONSIDERATIONS :
1.Make sure you choose the FTF file for your device or you can risk bricking your phone forever.
At the moment, there are no FTF files so you will need to be patient.
2. Make sure all drivers are properly installed
3. To boot into flashmode/fastboot, you will need to turn off device.Hold volume up OR volume down and then connect your device while holding the volume key.
Volume up would take you to flashmode while volume down would take you to fastboot mode. Remember, you will need fastboot/flashtool drivers before you can flash anything.
here is another guide for you just as reference.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/xperia-l-how-to-flash-tool-unlocking-t2337955
However if you have still issues , I can rewrite the guide.
ALL DRIVER PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS
I have seen some posts where users are having difficulty connecting Xperia M4 to their PC or ADB. Therefore, I am writing this guide to help you all.
The guide was prepared using Windows 7 Ultimate but should work with Windows XP and Windows 8.
Firstly, Sony uses a different driver for their Xperia devices and therefore, sometimes you are unable to install drivers for your devices especially for ADB commands.
IF YOU ARE LUCKY
There are few ways to get around to install drivers for your device. The most convenient and easy is you plug in your device and wait for automatic detection of your device. Make sure you have USB connected as MTP in MY XPERIA in SETTINGS of your phone. The device drivers would be automatically installed by Windows update.
METHOD
If suppose you can not install your drivers, connect your xperia and then on your PC, go to My computer > Properties>Device Manager.
You should see an undetected hardware with a yellow exclamation mark over it. Open it and click on update my drivers. Then choose GOOGLE DRIVERS by choosing hard-drive. This should install the drivers for you. If this doesnot work. Try the attachment with the post where the drivers are modified to work with Sony Xperia Devices.
Follow the same steps but this time choose the attachment folder to search for drivers. It might say, the drivers are not verified. Just Ignore it and carry on installing them. You will need to unzip these files.
IF suppose you do not see any exclamation mark while you connect your xperia. Just go to control panel and add new hardware. Select, I will choose my device and then install from hard-disk. Select the folder where you have unzipped the files and you are good to go. The name of new hardware is not important as windows will read the drivers files and install drivers for Xperia.
This will install all drivers for your device. If there are two or more drivers while installing them. Redo the steps and install all of them individually.
Suppose your ADB still doesnot work, then
FOR ADB DRIVERS :
Download the ADB Universal Drivers and connect your device. Then hit install. The ADB drivers will be automatically detected and installed.
Further, if these tricks fail, you can delete the unknown driver from your control panel and then try finding it again by using refresh button(scan for new hardware changes) in device manager.
Another trick is to click on unknown drivers and delete them. Connect your phone and restart your phone. Then scan for new hardware in device manager. The drivers should be installed for your device.
If still there are some problems, I will try to help you out.
DOWNLOAD LINKS
DOWNLOAD GOOGLE DRIVERS FOR MTP/ PC ETC
https://dl-ssl.google.com//android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
DOWNLOAD UNIVERSAL ADB DRIVERS HERE :
http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe
UPLOADED FILE : Sony Xperia Drivers for ADB.
UPDATE (EASIEST METHOD) :
Use flashtool drivers to install adb/fastboot/flashboot drivers. This is the most simplest and easiest method I have come across lately.
Simply download flashtool
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Go to folder where you have downloaded it. Usually C:/flashtool/drivers.
Select the drivers for your particular device. I use universal for all three types of drivers. It is helpful to boot into fastboot/Flashtool before installing the drivers but not necessarily.
FOR LINUX DRIVERS :
(No drivers required)
In your Xperia go to :
Settings > Xperia > usb connectivity > usb connection mode
Select Mass storage mode (MSC) > Press OK
Then plug your phone with your SDCARD inside
Try this guide if that does not work,LINUX DRIVERS GUIDE
Good Luck
Still problem ? Quote me back
IMPORTANT
On windows 8 and above you will need to disable DRIVER VERIFICATION in your windows settings to successfully install your drivers
Memory, Storage and Debloating Problems

SD MAID
ADVANCED TASK KILLER
TITANIUMBACKUP
GREENIFY
HOW TO KEEP RAM CLEAN AND KEEP YOUR PHONE BUTTER SMOOTH :
The phone MUST be fully rooted and all the recommended applications isntalled. They can be easily found on the Google Play. Links are provided for reference. In this guide I have used all the PRO (paid) applications. The Free versions will do fine but It is expected that some options are disabled in the free version. You can help developers by your contribution to their work
ADVANCED TASK KILLER
Advanced task manager is used to kill tasks running in the background.
Add advanced task killer widget to your home screen. Every time you need to kill background applications, just tap it once. This way all the applications in the background are periodically killed and thus, more RAM is available to your system and thus increased performance.
GREENIFY[ROOT]:
This application/system basically looks for applications running in the background. These background processes might slow down system. Furthermore, these increase the battery usage and reduce battery time. Greenify detects the background applications and hibernates them. This not only speeds up the phone but also saves battery.
SICK OF BLOATWARE?
TITANIUM BACKUP [ROOT]
Titanium backup is used for backing up your applications and system files. This can also DELETE applications from your ROM permenantly.
I recommend you make a backup with Titanium backup before uninstalling the files. REMEMBER, IF YOU UNINSTALL A SYSTEM FILE, YOU WILL NEED TO REFLASH YOUR ROM and you will end up in BOOTLOOP.
I will paste a screenshot to tell you which applications can be deleted easily.
OTHER SETTINGS :
Go to your settings>developers tools> background limit> use as less as you want. THIS WILL INCREASE USER EXPERIENCE
HOW TO SWAP EXTERNAL MEMORY & INSTALL AS MANY GAMELOFT GAMES AS YOU WANT
Many of you are having problems installing many games in your internal memory and can only utilise 4 gb of your memory. This means only 3 gameloft games. Thus I will briefly help you with memory issues related to Xperia M4
This one is very easy. Install Folder Mount and it will do the rest. Remember with free version, you can only mount 3 folders. The application is frequently updated and it has great support for Xperia M4.
Basically this application creates a link folder in your SD card which is detected by games automatically once fully setup. It also moves your files into your SD card and this saves your EXTERNAL MEMORY FULLY. You can install as many games or applications and link them to your SD card. Its that simple.
Use App analyzer option to mount folders. Manual folder mounts are not recommended!
Go to app analyzer>Select Game> Creat pair(s)>Move files as well> Mounted
Make sure Folder Mount is ticked green before running games.
INTERNAL MEMORY PROBLEMS
Internal memory not adding up? Unknown files hogging your space.
This can be managed by SD MAID and TITANIUM BACKUP.
With SD Maid, you can free a lot of space. It has many cool features. I use the Corpse finder and System cleaner, App Cleaner.
You may also try app cleaner if you like.
Go to CORPSE FINDER>FIND FILES>DELETE ALL FILES. It will take some time looking for files.
SYSTEMCLEANER>FIND FILES>DELETE ALL FILES. It will take some time looking for files.
TITANIUM BACKUP IS USED TO RELOCATE THE MEMORY THAT IS MISSING.
Titanium backup> MENU > clean up the dalvik cache
This will also give you back some INTERNAL MEMORY BACK.

HOW TO MAKE A TA PARTITION BACKUP.
1. Download the latest version of Backup TA from here DOWNLOAD HERE
2. Extract the ZIP file to a folder location of your choosing.
3. Navigate to the folder location of Backup TA.
4. Make sure no other script or application which is using ADB is running.
5. Make sure the device is booted in normal mode (the way you normally use it).
6. Run Backup-TA.bat
7. Read the last paragraph of the license before continuing.
8. Read the information and follow the instructions given by the tool.
Someone pointed out that the script needs root to work.
UNLOCK bootloader from Official Website[ Sony doesnot support unlock bootloader of this device yet
However, Once supported, the following method MUST work!
OFFICIAL SONY WEBSITE TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Please note! It will only be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases of this model. You can check if it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device by checking the service menu.
Open the Contacts app.
Click the menu button in the top right.
Click Settings.
Long press (for about 5 seconds) somewhere in the empty space just above soft key bar, and then release your finger. A button named Enter service code will then appear in the same area (this may take a few tries).
Click Enter service code. A dialler will appear.
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked(bootloader).
If your bootloader can be unlocked, proceed to the above website and follow the on screen instructions. You do not need to download full adb , just download the platform tools attached with this guide.
FOR MY REFERENCE. IGNORE
Just for my reference. Ignore it
These do not work.
Refer to first post for prerequisites.
ROOT CONFIRMATION
It was false root confirmation. You are more than welcome to try to find which method works for you from the following.
I have few confirmations of root working on Xperia M4 using this tool. Ignore what it says about kitkat or anything. Just make sure you got USB debugging enabled and drivers installed.
http://rootgenius.com/
Other methods that might work.
METHOD 1 (Kitkat/Lollipop. Unlocked/Locked Bootloaders)
This method has been implemented many a times by me and it has yeilded high results on different devices I have worked on.
We will replace the KingUser (chinese app like SuperSu) with SuperSU so you do not need to worry. You can also factory reset in order to be completely certain that no extra scripts are left in your system if you have any doubts about privacy.
1.Install iRoot (also called Vroot) (in chinese). The Chinese version is on 1.83 while the english translated is still on 1.78. Use the Chinese one.
http://www.mgyun.com/
2.Run iRoot app from PC. Wait till it is complete. You will have root with some system cleaner app with King user. Maybe you be successful with full root. Check Root Checker.
METHOD 2
It is also a chinese method and it also has been used by me for few devices. Many people have problems trusting it, but it installs superSU so I think I would not be concerned much. Feel free to try
1.Install KingoRoot
http://www.kingoapp.com/
2. Run the script and see if it helps. Wait about 15 minutes .
METHOD 3
1.After running iRoot for explort, run KingoRoot. Wait about 5-15 minutes as it would go on forever if it is not successful in rooting your device.
2.Close afterwards.
3. Run Iroot and Kingoroot together. Wait till it is restarted and you acquire root with KingUser.
The trick here is the moment, System is being restarted (device), Kingoroot pushes some scripts and together they are a deadly combination.
To GET SUPERSU if you got any other app instead for ROOT
1.Install supersu from market.
2.Update binaries
3.Restart.
Does not work ?
Use Beta SuperSU instead versions 2.48/2.49.
Install apk and try updating binaries.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
METHOD 4
1.Download towelroot apk.
2.Install and run

METHOD 8

You will need to update SuperSU in these cases as well
METHOD 9
Use DoomLord Tool Kit.
Enable USB debugging and run the script. Start with the latest script v17 and carry on with older version scripts. You may need to update SuperSU/Superuser file to latest 2.49 Beta. Link in FAQ

FAQ
In some scripts, you might find outdated version of SuperSU and it would not work unless you change the file with the latest SuperSU. Make sure you keep the name of the zip same, for example if the folder contains update, rename superSU 2.48 or 2.49 or2.47 or 2.46 to update as well. If it contains superSU, rename it to SuperSU.zip from supersu beta 2.49Beta etc.
You can find the superSU zip here :

Kingo root doesn't work, and there are security concerns about iRoot/vRoot. I wouldn't recommend either. Towelroot doesn't work on any Lollipop device to the best of my knowledge. SuperOneClick and Z4Root are both for Gingerbread devices, so neither of those are even worth trying.

I don't see a prerooted ftf working either, until there is a recovery method for the phone. As far as I know, only a true stock ftf can be flashed using flashtools.

When any method works, I'll post my feedback right here!

The guide has been completed. It is upto you to try and find an exploit. At the moment, this is your best bet and I have used many methods for recent devices on Lollipop to root my devices and these tools have been successful. At times, you only need to update SuperSU in the script usually. Give them a try and post your valuable feedback.
I hope you are all aware of USB debugging needs to turned on and you have all the latest drivers installed!
If any script can not find your device, it means either USB debugging is turned off or you do not have drivers installed

I know USB debugging has to be enabled. Updating or installing SuperSu is only useful once the device has been rooted. Unfortunately none of the methods posted are capable of doing so. If you post a guide to rooting, it shouldn't be up to me to find the solution; respectfully, it rather defeats the object of "a guide". Some of the methods proposed haven't worked since Gingerbread. Which script are you referring to, and how does one update it to include SuperSu?

I understand your point mate. No offense!
The problem is that I do not own this device, if I had this device or you can provide me an FTF file, maybe I can work something out. For now, you can try these methods. I have successfully rooted LG devices/ Xperia and even samsung using the above 8 methods.
For your other questions, look at this. Also, Sometimes when i was trying to root my device , supersu 2.46 was not able to root it with the same script yet when i replaced it with 2.447 beta. It did

Nethunter For OnePlus 2 (Nougat 7.1)

Hi all
Today i present to u Kali Nethunter supporting OnePlus 2 for the newly released android 7.1 nougat rom.
I'm going to keep this post short an sweet so assuming ur device is prepared and installed latest TWRP, we should be ready
NOTE: This is an overlay-Rom which means that there's no need to wipe system, data, etc...etc...
HOW TO INSTALL:
>First download the zip below and place on the root of ur device.
>Now boot into TWRP recovery (if u forgot is volume down and power) and select install, now select the zip u downloaded and swipe to flash.
>After reboot, head straight to the Nethunter App (Grant Root Access)
>Open Chroot Manager and Grant Root Access then close off and reboot.
Note:If u flashed the one without chroot plz follow the steps below;
>Go to Kali Chroot Manager and Click on Download Latest when Prompted, choose FULL CHROOT. and wait for it to download and then install.
>Once completed u may get a prompt saying to ADD METAPACKAGE and u will see a list to select from. (OPTIONAL)
(Note: Kali Nethunter Metapackage contains everything needed to run NetHunter, so be sure to only add extra metapackages if they're really needed, especially if disk space is running low. U can find out more about Kali Metapackage here.
>select ur desired package and it will download and install so let it do it's ting
>All left to do now to to close off and reboot. That's it:victory::highfive:
Note: Boot may take up to 5 min.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATES/FIXES:
>HID support is now working...
I have been working on compiling the kernel to support the HID attacks for the past week and it's now working great.(Let me know how it worked for u) The links below have been updated as of 12/12/2016, but if u already have nethunter installed and dont want to flash the entire rom again, feel to download and flash the kernel from here.
>USB Keyboard keeps stopping error...
If u are having problem with the usb keyboard, uninstall old one and install new one from here.
>Terminal keeps stopping error...
If u are having problem with Terminal, uninstall old one and install new one from here.
>Boot up takes too long...
For some reason boot up takes long so add this line to end of /system/build.prop using ur favourite text editor:
Code:
ro.config.hw_quickpoweron=true
It will take effect after reboot/power on/off.
>Installing cowpatty...
Cowpatty is not required but recommended by wifite and it is not installed, so open a kali terminal an enter:
Code:
apt install cowpatty
>Added oos 3.5.8 support
Have not tested, so u can let me know if works. Fixed... Working now.:good:
>Tested and working on 7.1 nougat based Roms like Resurrection Remix, halogenos, etc...
>Fixed super su brick sensor issue.

1- goto "nethunter terminal" app and tap on "Kali"
2- type "apt-get update"
3- type "apt-get install firmware-atheros"

well technically you cant fix it unless you compile cm14.1's kernel with this https : // github . com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget
or we have to wait for a kernel release from the OST "trace github's commits on the nethunter-devices repo"
in order to modify the kernel someone from the OST mentioned the use of mbtool.

Did u install full chroot or minimal chroot?...
If u installed it then try this
Code:
apt install wifite
Or u will need to uninstall it by
Code:
apt-get remove wifite
and reinstall it by
Code:
apt install wifite
That is strange error I haven't come accross
UPDATE... HID keboard attack now working along with some new fix

Is there any particular reason to use SuperSU? It breaks sensors.

Sensors were not working after complete SuperSU unroot so I restored the backup, removed script that flashes SuperSU from the zip, reflashed and everything seems to be working! Great job!

The SuperSU problem was in fact trickier than I assumed. Nethunter Terminal didn't work after removing SSU from the zip file so I had to substitue it with a SSU modified by Seraph08 that does not break sensors. Modified SSU is available in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/6-0-x-cyanogenmod-13-oneplus-2-t3292436
Looking forward to fast charge!
Does the rom include gapps?

Medion Lifetab P10505 TWRP and Root

Finally ported TWRP to the Medion Lifetab P10505 with working touch.
No guarantees are given, if you damage your tablet, all you do is on your own risk. I have the original ROM from Medion, if you need a full restore.
Please note that the TWRP recovery was not much tested and may be buggy. I didn't test with encryption or the restore process.
Please follow these steps:
1. Download all the files from Mega:
https://mega.nz/#F!pvQCQCxL!dfCHhGkliNSj-Wd3NcRV2ghttp://
2. Unpack all files into the same directory
3. If not done already, install the Intel Driver Package and reboot your PC
4. Unpack the ADB Tools into the directory
5. On your tablet go to your settings and enable USB debugging in the developer options. If you don't see the developer options menu under settings, goto about tablet and tip the build number seven times fast which will reveal the Developer options in the Settings.
6. Copy the file UPDATE-SuperSU.zip to your tablet (via USB or to memory card)
7. Switch off your tablet
8. Press and keep pressed the On/Off button and Volume Down button until you see the bootloader menu. Please press the buttons at the same time.
9. Now connect the table via USB cable to the PC.
10. Open a command window on your PC and change to the above created directory .
11. type the command: fastboot oem unlock (you can lock it again after the whole process if you want)
If this doesn't work goto the below section: Install recovery through flash
12. next type: fastboot flash recovery final_P10505_working_TWRP_3.0.2.0.img
13. Use the volume up or down button until Recovery mode is displayed.
14. Press the On/Off button shortly to start the new TWRP recovery menu. Please be patient until it fully loads. May take a couple of minutes.
15. Now choose install from the menu.
16. Proceed to the folder where you store the UPDATE-SuperSU.zip and select the file and swipe to install.
Note: If you forgot to copy the file to the tablet you can use the windows explorer to copy it to your tablet. There is a new device called Vi10 plus
(as mentioned it is only a port not build from source)
17. The Zip file should install
18. Use the back button to go back to the main menu of the recovery and select reboot and then system.
19. Now you have rooted the device and can create backups in the TWRP recovery.
20. To verify use any root checker tool from play store.
21. Feel free to hit the Thanks button
Install recovery through flash:
If there are any errors you can download the original ROM from Medion.de. You need then the Intel Platform Flash Tool Lite to install the ROM from Scratch (all your data will be lost).
When you run the flash tool, open the file from Medion.de and it will unpack the zip-file in the folder C:\Users\Your account name\.flasher\.download\p1050x-6.0-factory-v2.3
Proceed to the folder Just rename the file final_P10505_working_TWRP_3.0.2.0.img to recovery.img and replace the original file from Medion. Then hit the flash button.
Actually the Intel tool will perform the same command as above.
PS: I read that P10506 is hardware like the same as P10505, so it may work there as well, but no guarantees.
PPS: Credit go to the creators of the TWRP file for the Chuwi Vi10 plus (Highbook), which I don't know their names.
thank you for this, I used it on my P10506, the only difference was thead the command in section 12 has changed to:
fastboot flashing unlock
Cooool!
Did everything on my P10506.
Now waiting untill booting is finished...... CHECK!!
Testing with a root checker........ CHECK!!
That is great!
Thank you!

You're welcome,
but surely room for optimization of this tablet. On mine it happens after quite some that it becomes very laggy.
Hope yours is running better.

Seems to work fine.
No lags. Okay, not more laggy then it was before rooting.
But now i'd like to flash a custom rom... Any suggestions?
Regards.

I haven't seen any custom roms for this tablet, but I actually didn't look much. The problem is that it is nearly impossible without sources to create one.
any new mirrors available? mega zip file offline...
P10506
Thanks for the wonderful news! If anyone (Bernie?) could make the files / TWRP image available again, they'd make me and the previous poster even happier
Looking to root and TWRP my familys two P10506s - one still on 5.1 - should I update it to 7.1.1 (last available image from Medion) first?
Download Link
Somebody here who have the files available and can upload it again?
Would be great.
Thanks
Bye

Maybe you can flash android x86.
1,Flash tw08a-87z8 bios using flashrom in ubuntu.
2,Push esc key to enter bios.
3,Install android ,linux or windows using usb/sd boot.
Some medion and onkyo tablets are compatible.
I have written more details on my wiki.
