How to root your Hudl 2


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I just rooted my Hudl 2 version 20150319.222108, verified with Root Checker on the Google PlayStore  (Thanks Very Much :D) I'm kind of new to the whole rooting thing, I wanted to know can I flash the Hudl 2 with a vanilla android ROM? Mainly, I want to get rid of all the Tesco bloatware on the tablet and have it stock as possible.

 

Any help would be much appreciated :D

 

Cheers

From what I've read, removing any Tesco bloatware is not recommended and it's unclear what effect this may have when new OTA updates are released. Instead, you might want to freeze the relevant apps from running via something like Titanium Backup app.

Just an update -

 

I got Titanium Backup and I froze a bunch of useless apps like Tesco Bank, Tesco Photo's, etc but when you freeze My Tesco it crashes the tablet. Which is kind of s*** because that's the main thing that I wanted to get rid of, Do you know any other work arounds to get rid/freeze the My Tesco app?

 

cheers

have you set another Launcher as your default launcher?, because if you haven't then freezing the Tesco launcher will obviously crash the tablet as it will have no user interface.

Thank you. I finally got it to work. I had to redo the drivers once I got into droidrecovery. Now to debloat.

Quick question,

I noticed it auto-reboots quite often: twice today, in front of me, is there any way I can find what causes these sudden reboots?

 

Thanks

Power off and get into recovery by pressing and holding in the up volume button and then pressing the power button. Keep holding the volume button until you see recovery.

One of the options is for adb and another to update from SD card.

Good luck

I can get to boot screen as when it downloads the update it gives an error and lands on this screen sideloads dont seem to work i have tried all 3 at the start of this thread they keep coming up with signature error or something,,,,,one thing i cant seem to get to word is the adb-windows

You want to be in the recovery screen and then use adb to upload the update.zip I linked to yesterday in my howto thread to your hudl and then use the recovery option to install it

The key you want in post #396 is to the left of the space bar and has three dots on it press this and you will see settings select this and then follow the rest of the thread.

dont know if this helps any but my version is 20150106.154003 not the other 2 which it mentions in the start of here. is there a fix for the version i am on?

It works Iv'e just done it, you must reset the tablet first and carry out the procedure before enabling any wi-fi.

i wiped all data factory reset and it came up with the green screen with the start button, when it asked for wifi i pressed the add network to get the keyboard up and did the thing you mentioned and it would not work for me

Guest jabba2005

the only way i can get the ADB recovery tool to recognise my tablet is when i select the ADB feature in the boot menu but even then it comes up with my device plus sideload after it.

It does work you should see settings appear just above the key you need to click this.
