Updating Switchroot Android 8 to 10 Easily - Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop

Is there an easy way to update android 8 to 10 on switchroot easily?
I have my SD card setup with a triple boot into emummc, lakka, and android 8.1 switchroot which I've done years ago, and everything is a little outdated.
I'm already aware on how to install android 8 and 10 fresh, but I'm also weary to mess with my current setup for fear of doing something wrong.
Hopefully someone can help and guide me on what to do easily.
A simple and easy step by step instruction would be very appreciated, thanks.

[Q] Unable to install adb drivers on Toshiba Folio 100, Code 10 error?

Hi all,
I'm having real issues trying to root my Toshiba Folio 100 which I got today. Basically, I'm at the part where I install the adb drivers. While I'm usually pretty good with Android, I thought maybe it's where I've done something wrong. So, I literally uninstalled everything and started from scratch with the Android SDK. I followed this guide to the letter here:
addictivetips.com / mobile / what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
Then carried on with this guide here:
addictivetips.com / mobile / enable-adb-usb-drivers-for-nvidia-tegra-based-android-tablets/
I carried on and on (although I changed 0955 to 8086 in the inf file as that is my device ID) and when I go to select the drivers, I push along even though it gives me the warnings and when I get to the end, it comes up with this error:
"This device cannot start (Code 10)".
Googling this error comes up with a bunch of related queries that don't relate to me, and the MS website is absolutely useless for resolving this (it tells me to update the drivers).
So, I'm at a loss. I've tried everything I can think of and to no avail. So, I'm praying you guys can help me out so I can root this tablet. If I can't, I may as well sell it back on or return it, as this device doesn't mean that much to me without the Marketplace or Custom ROM capabilities.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: My apologies, I should list my specs just in case it's relevant (I know the OS version will be, at least)

[Q] rooted but NT will not find .zip file to install rom

i am using this root guide from malloneem - Nook Tablet 1.4.3 complete root guide for 8or16gb to GB and JB. i have successfully rooted but my NT will not recognize that I have the .zip file - cm-7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip I've installed on a sandisk 8gb microsd. I can see the files when the sd card is in my computer but the NT says - FILE NOT FOUND when I try to load zip from sd. I've formatted and reload files several times but with no success. Am I missing a step?

I have to ask, since it may render your line of questioning somewhat moot: Is there a reason why you're trying to load such an old version of android? Why not use version 10.1 instead of 7?

Ultimately was going to install sgt7-10-20121209-meghd00t-acclaim The thread I was following recommended installing CM-7 first then CM-10. Just new enough at this I was trying to follow a simple but complete guide.
Understandable. I expect (read: hope) that an 'official' install guide will be released by the CM team as soon as it leaves release candidate status and is declared "stable". In the meantime, you might find some help here in these forums.
digixmax has particularly good instructions here. They're for version 10, not 10.1. I'm not sure if he has a 10.1 specific version but I couldn't find it in the 10 seconds I took searching for it. Just use newer versions of files as follows:
The newest version of cwm_6.0.*.*_acclaim_recovery_sdcard.img from here instead of the others in step 2b.
The newest version of CM from here instead of the one in step 2c.
The newest gapps-jb-2013* from here for step 2d.
If you run in to problems, be sure to clearly indicate exactly which steps you did (don't just say "I did all the steps").
Good luck!

[Q] Hacking THBK1-10 (getting root)

Hello,
THBK1-10 is a cheap dual system (Android 4.2.2 /Windows 8.1) tablet based on Bay Trail (Intel Atom Z3740D). More details http://www.thomsoncomputing.eu/dualboot.html
I'm trying to hack it, and especially get root and use non-signed zip in recovery. Basically i'm stuck at theses points, and i'm requesting directions to continue the work.
I have posted in W8 section, but obviously, this is no longer the place
General
------------
* i can use a work-around to write system (/system, /data) partitions
* i can flash signed updates via recovery
* google apps are working flawesly. Only thing is to keep original files (stock keyboard and layout)
-> i would like to flash non-signed zip via recovery, but i guess i have to build a custom recovery, or can i exploit something else ?
Root:
-------
* no auto root is working (z4root, towelRoot). Regarding towelRoot, i tryed each 8 common parameters, and i don't really know how to do others. I have also heard this is only working in 4.4.2+
* pushing su is not working. When i'm launching it, let's say from terminal, i have a code 255 return (-1). Tested with both arm and x86 version (i'm still wondering why arm su is also returning -1, i would have expect a non valid binary. Or perhaps my x86 version is bad ?
-> i'm still trying to dig this issue, and idea on how i could do ? i believe running SU was enough... but it seems not. Any idea ?
Many thanks !
Bump. the way it is booting is based on ramdisk images (one for normal android boot, one for android recovery).
I have acces to theses img, and i can, with hexedit (perhaps mounting them directly at a filesystem), view the whole init sequence.
My question is : what triggers the root invalidation ? AFAIK, everything is done as root (mounting FS, updating permissions, etc....). Basically i can't really figure how it is handled.
Thank you !
Solved !

Woaw ! I'm very happy to see that somebody tried and succeed to root the THBK1 ! Please can you share your method in a tutorial when you'll have time ? :laugh:
Hello, yes !
I'm actually writing a GAPPS tuto, which is intensively tested by Zeksaine. Root will be added, as this is only a simple step inside the whole process.
This is a bit technical (read boring), but it worths the try. My TODO list is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799404 , and while i'll take a little break, i hope soon to have custom recovery allowing you to directly flash gapps or supersu.
Yes ! I confirm ! Graveen has installed GAPPS on Thomoson THBK1 / Danew Dualboot tablet with sucess ! I'm not familiarised with linux environnement and realize it, but it requires some knowledges of linux command (coLinux especially)
Graveen is the only one users identified that it can put GAPPS on android environnement concerning this tablet.
Big thanks to him !

I own a Cube U100GT and it's one of the many Chinese brothers of your THBK1-10. But mine came only with W 8.1.
I just start looking for a dual boot solution and I'm happy to know that it's is possible.
I don't need root for while, just play some games and apps.
So the original Android "ROM" of the tablet can do the job.
My version have 64Gb SSD and I've already resize the Win partition to make room for a new system.
Where can I look for a dual boot tuto and find this Android version?
Heya, can you post your partition list ?
What is the bios of your tablet ? Can you wire an USB keyboard to see this at boot ?
Basically, they effectively seems identical.
For partial update, you can find one here: http://www.danew.com/support-pilotes-manuels.php?type=218&produit=219 but it relies on existing android partitions i still have not dumped.
Android-x86 could worth a try also, although i doubt you will have all drivers (touch, gyro, etc..)

The partition list is the standard for a windows installation (but no windows image on the end):
1: 300 Mb (Windows RE)
2: 100 Mb (System)
3: The rest (Windows). My SSD is 64Gb.
My tablet already comes with a dedicated keyboard cover, so I have full access to to UEFI Bios.
There's a lot of numbers:
Aptio Setup Utility Version 2.16.1242
Vendor - AMI
Core Version - 5.008
Project Version - 3BAGR 0.03
EC FW Version - 201401101A
Intel GOP driver - 7.0.1029
Sec RC Version - 00.05.00.00
TXE FW Version - 01.00.02.1060
I found the drivers pack for windows 8 and so I could install my PT-BR edition of W81. And reserve 20Gb at the end for another OS.
It's my first UEFI machine and I'm completely lost. There's a lot of options and I can't understand a quarter of that.
On the Tabletrepublic forum someone said that my bios recuse everything except a Windows pendrive. If is true, there's no way to put Android but changing/patching the UEFI.
Android x86 is for desktops right? And the Intel site, can I find Android images there?
Thank you. What i'll do is to check if my bios is identical to yours, because there are effectively numerous options. Then, i could finsh to dump my android partitions and let you play with them.
Honestly, the trick is the OS selection system, which is bring by the EFI bootloader (and certainly a dedicated partition). Once selection is done, another EFI bootloader (windows only) is called.

Nook Tablet root tool/tutorial 1.4.3(VERY EASY FOR BEGINNERS

This is a program I made because i just rooted for the first time this weekend and even though it is really easy I almost bricked my nook. This program I have made I hope will try to prevent any bricking. If you cant understand the tool/tutorial you shouldn't be rooting. How it works is i have downloaded most of the applications needed to root a nook. I am not responsible for anything that happens to your nook from this tool. There is one application i was not able to add in and that is Minitool partition wizard, however I did include the setup in the application. This tool is for 8 and 16gb nook tablets running 1.4.3. IT MUST BE A NOOK TABLET NOT COLOR OR HD. This shows you step by step on how to get CMW(clockworkmod recovery) and a basic custom rom. It does not have cyanogenmod in the image file. And once more I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your nook or any trouble that can come from it. If by any chance you nook does get bricked look up a video on how to unbrick your nook tablet. This is my first post and public application so if you can tell me if it worked for you and what I can change about the program. I did not make any of the applications in the program other than the program itself. Please give me feed back on this tool.
Application Release
I will be releasing the application asap. It is still in development.
Its the last week of development for the application. It does not have an icon so sorry. Im not good with image making.
I am still working on having it run as smooth as possible. I will try to have the application up soon.
Hi Nooktabletrooter,
Recently inherited a Nook Tablet with 1.4.3 and am new to this so am Very Interested in your project!
What is status of Nook Tablet root tool/tutorial 1.4.3 VERY EASY FOR BEGINNERS?
Ken
I actually stopped making this program but if you want i can keep making it
"I actually stopped making this program but if you want i can keep making it" Since you have a lot more experience on the Nook Tablet, would like to 1st mention that I want to use it for reading DOC and PDF files and as a Audio and Video Player.
Since I have Never Rooted any Android device I would like to keep things as simple as possible. The closest I have done with Windows is making a Hiren's BootCD From USB Flash Drive. http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd-on-usb-disk Which had easy to follow instructions.
Also would like to ask your advice as to the cyanogenmod version you would recommend for the Nook Tablet to do the things I mentioned?
Did some checking and the Android Audio Video Players I will be using (MX or VLC) do not list a min ver only "varies with device" so makes this a little more difficult?
Thanks
Ken

Problem between device and chair: NOOK won't install Cyanogenmod

Years ago, I installed CyanogenMod onto an old Samsung phone with no trouble. A few weeks back, I was given a Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet 16 GB. The UI is pretty limited and I don't want a B&N account, so I thought I'd unleash the beast and install the full Android OS on it.
I read through various HOWTOs including "Install CM for acclaim" from the CyanogenMod Wiki.
I have formatted an 8 GB SD-card with a single FAT32 partition which has been flagged as bootable.
I downloaded and extracted CWM-based-Recovery v5.5.0.4 to the SD-card.
The device booted to recovery mode OK.
I first tried to install "cm-13.0-20160629-NIGHTLY-acclaim".
It failed with the well known OTA update / Status 7 error.
Reading up on this, the main advice is to try an earlier version, maybe even the last stable release.
I then tried "cm-10.2.1-acclaim" which is from all the way back in 2014.
It failed with just "E: Error in /sdcard/cm-10.2.1-acclaim Status 0.
A web search didn't return anything useful.
Next up, I tried the next release CM11: "cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-acclaim".
I got the same failure as with CM10.
Finally I tired the last snapshot before the latest nightly releases: "cm-13.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2NI-acclaim"
This time it is back to the Status 7 failure.
Considering all the successful HOWTOs I have read and the procedure is basically the same in each one and I have tried searching these forums.
I can only assume I am missing something really basic.
I checked on whether I need to root the device, as I had to with the old Samsung phone, but it seems the B&N Nook Tablet has root access by default.
So, can someone please help?
Thanks!

The CWM version you are trying to use is too old, I think, even for CM 10.2
Thanks, I thought it might be something like that, but one tutorial said it didn't matter. I have been trying to find a newer version of ClockworkMod, but can only find image (img) files that don't seem to work: I used the gnome-disk-utility 3.10.0, UDisks 2.1.3 to write the image (recovery.img extracted from flashable_CWM_6.0.4.8_chrmhoffmann.zip), but it just makes an empty SD-card - that is, when I check the card with GParted, there are no usable partitions.
I have just found "cm-13.0-20160629-NIGHTLY-acclaim-recovery.img" but I cannot find any clear instructions what to do with it next.
Do I just write the image to the SD-card with the image writer? Because then I get a warning that the target disk is over7 GB bigger than the image and end up with an empty SD-card.

I can't speak to the CM 13 since I haven't gone there (yet). I followed the excellent instructions by @digixmax for CM 10.2 and (more recently) CM 12.1. In some cases there is no working CWM version and you have to use a version of TWRP. Late in the second thread there are a variety of file combinations people found that worked for them. But the instructions--if followed exactly--work, or at least they did for me.
TWRP worked perfectly for me. However I had to flash CM10.2 before I could go higher, otherwise trying to flash CM13 made TWRP reboot outright with no warnings while on stock. I'm sure since it was on Android 2.3 it needed to have the newer partition table to install to.
