Guest seanspotatobusiness Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Nice one :) Is this the same device you thought might be bricked earlier?
Guest vermillions Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Fantastic news. I look forward to using your root process.
Guest Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Impressive stuff Paul :o It'll be interesting to see what method you've used once you're happy with the process and procedure. From previous histroy with hudl rooting methods, it'll also be interesting once rooted to see if OTA updates become a headache as with the previous hudl. :wacko:
Guest state-it Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 I'm new here, fallen over from XDA as it doesn't give much Hudl love, does it? (Not surprising as it's a UK-centric tablet). I've had my Hudl for a few days now, and all I can say is my Note 10.1 hasn't had much use during that time. I'd like to say a BIG 'Thank You' Paul: I'm sure that like myself, many others are waiting with anticipation.
Guest PaulOBrien Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Nice one :) Is this the same device you thought might be bricked earlier? Had to buy another one! P
Guest popeydc Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Looking forward to seeing the results of this hacking! I had one arrive today to see if we can get Ubuntu on it.
Guest iBrummie Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Be nice to use the microsd! Great work!
Guest lmulli Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Nice one! Looking forward to this!
Guest horizon21 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Great work, Paul! Can't wait to de-tescofy my hudl.
Guest BobNugget Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Had to buy another one! P Ouch! Great work though, looking forward to a released version so I can try and dump the UEFI and try and mod it for Windows 8 :)
Guest Catastrophe Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Rooted!??? Awesome! Does it mean I could install Windows on it now?
Guest nrps1 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Impressive stuff Paul :o It'll be interesting to see what method you've used once you're happy with the process and procedure. From previous histroy with hudl rooting methods, it'll also be interesting once rooted to see if OTA updates become a headache as with the previous hudl. :wacko: Yeah cant wait! Being new to Hudl, what sort of OTA issues were there and are they easy to overcome? I had to download the forced update approx 10 times in order to log in 1st time before it worked, and couldn't seem to bypass so suspect that's what you are talking about?
Guest BobNugget Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Rooted!??? Awesome! Does it mean I could install Windows on it now? I've tried a few techniques and am hoping something similar to the Onda 975 Android->Windows conversion can be attempted once the root is out. Having used it as an android tab for a bit though, i'm well impressed with this hardware and 4.4, great tablet OS. My main concern is that it's never gonna see an OS patch like the Hudl 1.

Hmm, how can you disable auto patching? I think the benefits to me of rooting probably outweigh the lack of updating though...
Guest Jinjur Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Superb news! I am new here but have come from the HP:TP with CM10 world......and I must say, the Hudl2 is facking impressive for the money Would love a bit more control and the ability to ditch the Tesco bloat.......keep up the good work buddy! Andy
Guest BobNugget Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Hmm, how can you disable auto patching? I think the benefits to me of rooting probably outweigh the lack of updating though... Wiping it and putting windows on should do the job :) Haven't tried but I would guess rooting it and blocking device.mobile.tesco.com in the android hosts file will stop it from update checking (it opens a TLS connection there to update). I'm a bit of an android modding beginner so that might not work. Edited October 15, 2014 by BobNugget
Guest Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 For reference, dependent on how the hudl v1 was rooted - determined if the OTA updates started a boot loop situation. This appeared to be related to software integrity checks during the OTA update process. There was only a couple of updates but it was enough to cause issues for many.

Guest HudlMan Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Details to follow once i've made the process safe. :) P When will you be releasing the method? Very intigued, I signed up just to congratulate you and ask for an ETA :) Well done again!
Guest thefunkygibbon Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 When will you be releasing the method? Very intigued, I signed up just to congratulate you and ask for an ETA :) Well done again! so you signed up just to tell everyone you're inpatient? ;) nice one. Awesome effort Paul, can't wait to see where this will get us. Would love to have windows installed on the hudl 2 , but i'm assuming that we're still a way off on that.

Why does everyone want to install Windows on it?
Guest mbalax Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 I'm wondering too, my employer once lent me a (poor quality) Windows tablet and I couldn't get used to it, it was very non-intuitive and of course crash-prone.
Guest thefunkygibbon Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 The reason why I want windows on it is because I already have a number of android tablets and this is the first Intel based tablet, just think it would be cool to try out windows 8 on a tablet. Play some of my steam games etc. Mainly though, because I can (hopefully). If it runs rubbish though I will revert it back to android
Guest Kommander85 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Posted October 16, 2014 I (and I'm sure many others...) await your how-to with baited breath! Great work by the way! Your sacrifice to the bricked tablet community in the pursuit of root level access is much appreciated.
