Guest vampirefo Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Vampirefo have you successfully used this method on a hudl2?I don't have hudl2, I did look at your stock recovery, that was posted, the partitions are the same as all other intels. I can't see any reason it won't, all that is being done it launching my intel recovery in fastboot, from there sdc tool is going to setup a recovery environment, then start the recovery, works just like any custom recovery. You should be able to use adb commands, use recovery to flash zip files, backup and restore system, flash roms and so on. Flashing superuser zip roots the tablet, you have to select no on questions recovery asks when you select to reboot, recovery comes with su, but that su isn't for intel, used for other device. To root intel flash the superuser zip, as in the instructions how to use tethered cwm recovery. Make sure you are using latest version of tethered cwm recovery, which is the linux version I already posted or the latest by sdc for windows users.

Guest dennissingh99 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi everyone, Can you guys help me to run this on the hudl 2. When it goes to fastboot, it cannot find the device. I know that the drivers are installed correctly because I had just rooted my hudl 2 using Paul's method of rooting through flashing the system image using fastboot, and that worked. Paul, can you please tell me what small mods you did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul, can you please tell me what small mods you did? Never mind, I got it to work finally. For anyone who is interested I had just replaced fastboot with fastboot-windows -i 0x1d4d on the launcher.bat Use T3 as the option. I have already made a launcher.bat file so that you can download it and replace it with your own launcher.bat Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6b0GWZ27sAFd2JzNTVkT0xMaFk/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I can add hudl2 to confirmed rooted via tethered cw recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest brackehill_mob Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) There is a Linux version of this rooting process here http://forum.xda-developers.com/dell-venue/general/linux-tethered-cwm-recovery-version-t2963104 For us Hudl2 users, see my comment #107 Also be aware that not all versions of fastboot are created equal! The version in the Linux Mint repository doesn't work but the version in the xda-developers download does.

Any chance of updating TWRP to include the correct size for the hudl2? I'd love to have TWRP working on our units. Just playing with the latest Tesco update so haven't tried those TWRP versions .... yet. I had to give up getting it to work on the original hudl1 due to not being able to get the touch screen working. But if the touch screen is working on the newer hudl2 - a screen size corrected version would be the icing on the cake. :D Edited May 31, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 vampirefo thanks for this, after finally installing the latest Tesco update (which applied without issue after restoring the original build.prop file) used this tethered cwm recovery method to gain supersu - no issues found with the process, I suppose that's what you get when you're late in doing it. :blush: It's difficult doing bleeding edge stuff these days as it happens - just struggle to find the time, but still follow the forum with great interest. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 It's available in vampirefo's xda forum thread here For info, the TWRP recovery I used in the photo is the twrp_3830_recovery.zip it's resolution is 800x1280 portrait and appears to work. Havn't tried a nandroid backup yet - ran out of time, but it's running and responds to touch control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just an update from personal experience - using this to root a hudl2 works brilliantly, but using this to try and create nandroid backups is a bit flakey in either CWM or TWRP versions - it's resulted in some zero length files, it may be something simple like sdcard format or settings, but haven't had time to investigate yet.Hey-ho!

Only two partition are really needed for backup system and data.I would recommend first making a backup of system, then make a backup of system and data.The backup of system can be shared with others, data backup is personal info and shouldn't be shared.

Guest Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Make sure you have latest version of recovery,Just checking, the versionsCWM recovery that I'm using is as per your post v6.0.3.7 (which allows only '.tar' and '.dup' backups, that's fine) remembering to mount both system and data before creating the backup.TWRP I'm using is again as per your post v2.8.6.0 - on the hudl2 this doesn't appear to be able to mount the partitions - as both system and data partitions have a size of 0. As it boots up you can see all the partitions are listed one by one with a size of 0. But I can't seem to mount them via the menu, unless I'm doing something stupid.

Guest vampirefo Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Twrp is now 2.8.7.0, you are using older twrp.Also While cwm version remains the same files have changed.I have updated both cwm and twrp 7-31.The 7-31 twrp and cwm should be used, 2.8.7.0 should mount system and data correctly.
