Guest EananC Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Here is how to root the HUDL running the latest software update. Has worked for myself on a few hudls and others have verified it here also. Download this zip file (click the downward arrow at the top) and unzip it: https://drive.google...iew?usp=sharing Mirrors of download: http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/imcXp8oH/file.html Copy the su update zip (named “UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46” in the extracted folder from step 1) to your Hudl 2’s internal memory or preferably, its microSD card. Remember where you put it! Ensure drivers for adb are installed. Run them from the “adbfastboothudl” folder in the zip folder from step 1. Install these ADB drivers also: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MKgCbUM0itVVFWRC02Q0VBQnc/view Enable USB debugging from developer settings on the hudl. . If you don't know how to turn on USB Debugging, here is how: 1. Go to Settings menu on your device. 2.Go to About tablet submenu. 3.Now scroll to “Build Number” and tap it multiple times. 4.After tapping it enough times you will see an alert saying “You are now a developer”/”Developer mode has been enabled”. 5.Now if you go to your Settings menu, you will see the developer options submenu over there. 6.Tap on the Developer options and then turn on USB Debugging. Start the root process by clicking double clicking “launcher” in the “IntelAndroid-FBRL-01-17-2015” folder and watch your HUDL screen. It may show a pop up asking to accept your PC’s “fingerprint” or something like that and show a long number of random characters. Click accept. On the next window type “T3” without quotes when asked for options. The Hudl should reboot to the new recovery which is CWM recovery. The screen should be grey and show a Hat symbol. Navigate to “install from SD Card” using the volume keys and the power button is enter. Then to install zip from SD card and chose the “UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46” zip you copied earlier. Click enter and wait. It should reboot your hudl back to normal and it will be rooted. *OBLIGATORY* I am not responsible for a bricked HUDL or any damage done to it. I dont know if this voids the warranty also but it shouldn't. If you follow the guide it will be easy and hard to break your hudl. Troubleshooting: If you get "UNKNOWN DEVICE" error or something along those lines in red writing when using launcher.bat, install the pdanet drivers (http://pdanet.co/) and see if that fixes the issue. it did for me once.

Guest CPN200 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 So, what's the deal? Can the Hudl 2 with the latest firmware update actually be rooted or not? There are conflicting reports in other places in regard to this? Even if it can be done, do all the built-in (to Android OS) Google services still continue to run correctly afterwards without ANY glitches at all?

Others have followed the guide and its worked fine. Ive just rooted my third hudl 2 running latest software and it was a 5 minute job. Google services run like normal.

Guest MurdoD Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Got mine working with this method also. All i need now is a root hider that works with SkyGo, a way to remove the extra "Tesco" page (ant [T] in the top left corner) and I'll be happy!

Guest Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) With regards to the last half, just change your launcher from Tesco's to something else and you'll have all the control you want. Edited June 4, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alien Heads Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Followed the instructions here & now have root, thanks. I did have an initial problem with the adb drivers, the "launcher" kept telling me the adb drivers were out of date. So I rebooted my pc and everything worked first try.

Guest Roy Hudl Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Signed adb drivers intel with an installer https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices That site won't allow me to download, even though I've created an account which allows me to log-in etc. Could someone who has successfully downloaded please share a copy of the intel drivers ?

Guest Roy Hudl Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Thanks Robin - When I accept the T&C's and arrive at the download screen, clicking there just brings up a log-in page - I've created an account, but then it says I am not authorised to d/l those files. I think my IP must be unrecognised or blacklisted! Tred in Chrome and Firefox, no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jabbitt Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 This sounds brilliant! Can I also use tethered recovery to create a nandroid backup before rooting? So if anything goes wrong in the future I can use this process to restore my Hudl2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yes you should be able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you just backup system you could upload and share with others, so they could also flash back to stock if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest UWantSumChicken Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 When I tried this method, after I entered T3 the Hudl rebooted to to a screen with a droidboot droid and no option to install from SD card rather than the grey screen with a Hat symbol described above. Does anyone know how to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest robin0800 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Your Hudl will never have the new CWM it is a tethered method or temporary if you prefer, once rebooted its gone. Your problem on the Droid boot screen is you are missing adb drivers! Signed drivers are here http://www.mediafire.com/download/8mlrrgzkzd0woud/IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.9.0.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to do anything from here or is that all that is needed for the driver install as it isn't making a difference.
