Guest EananC Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Are there any stock images for this device? Dont think so or not that I know of. Closest is to root it and make a NAND backup yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest crusader58 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hi EananC I have installed SuperSu and Root Checker and root checker congratulated me on a rooted device Not sure what I do now lol You could install the xposed framework, then from within xposed download and activate the 'root cloak' module...this module allows you to hide root on a per app basis.

Guest Daniel_Twigg Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Made a quick new user friendly guide on how to root using the latest firmware: OK here is how to root the HUDL running the latest firmware: Step 1: Download this zip file and unzip it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7DAEqCL3OYua0djOHJ3c0FwbW8/view?usp=sharing 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. Enable USB debugging from developer settings on the hudl. . If you don't know how to turn on USB Debugging, here is how: 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. Hi Could you please make this into its own thread? It is really hard to navigate 28 pages in. Also, can you edit it, to say that when the device boots into the droidboot menu, you may need to install the ADB driver for the device in Windows again. It took me a few failed attempts to realise this, along with reading random replies in this thread that all make up a bigger picture. Thank you and I appreciate your work.

Guest pryddie Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hi everyone I copied Robins text to my launcher and followed the guide. I can confirm the hudl2 is rooted as I can't get Sky Sports or Sky Go to work. I've downloaded xposed framework and root cloak but still no joy with getting the above mentioned apps to work. Not really sure how I I brand the annoying start up and tesco widgets but this post is to let everyone know how I've got on with the rooting process Thanks to everyone's input.

Guest Robin Wheeler Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Just a heads up I found out you can downgrade the hudl2 using one of Paul's rooting images that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hudl2student Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 That's very useful to know Robin, thanks! I've recently rooted :) anyone know how to create an image of 'freshly' rooted system that can be used to revert to, as a sort of clean install if need be in the future? Is Titanium Backup capable of creating/restoring images on rooted hudl2, has anyone done this as yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure how I I brand the annoying start up and tesco widgets but this post is to let everyone know how I've got on with the rooting process Thanks to everyone's input. Did you have any issues with having to install drivers twice? Sky Sports and Sky Go won't work mate, they can't be worked around I don't think. Not sure how to change the boot animation, to remove the tesco widgets and tesco launcher, first install an alternate launcher, for example Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher, then download Titanium Backup, and find the Tesco apps and click on them, and click Freeze. Google for Titanium Backup tutorials if needed. That's very useful to know Robin, thanks!

Guest hudl2student Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Don't think TiBu can do a full backup and restore, do a nandroid backup in clockworkmod recovery. Thanks Daniel. What would be the steps to get into clockworkmod recovery and then create/restore NAND backups? Is this a proven method for the hudl2? (I'm just not sure of the state of play with the Hudl2 due to the less common rooting method currently available). ps thanks to all who have contributed to this thread, it's all been really helpful :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hello everyone, I just got a Hudl2 but during the Setup I had to install the 20150319.222108 update and then realised I might not be able to root it?
