Guest simonccc Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Hi I have HUDL2 Kitkat 4.4.2 Build 20150319.222108. I Rooted it recently with the instructions from another thread on this forum - everything was good. Then used Titanium, intending to remove bloatware. This is when my problems started - I think I must have removed some essential apps - possibly related to Google Play Services. Problems are as follows: 1) Won't start up - Gets stuck on screen that says 'hudl' followed by a star. The star keeps fading in and out. 2) I can solve 1) with a factory reset, but at the end of the visual demo I get 'Unfortunately Setup Wizard has stopped (but I can still get in to Settings) 3) I get 'Unfortunately the process com.google.android.gms has stopped' 4) I get 'Unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped' 5) I get 'Google Play Services, which some of your applications rely on is not supported by your device. I've tried side loading Google Play Services but that made no difference. I've since learnt there are many versions of Google Play Services so I expect I tried the wrong one. Which version do I need? Any advice to get my HUDL2 up and running would be much appreciated!
Guest pudpoh Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 I would try reflashing the rooted firmware to your Hudl, it should restore the system partition and put back what you managed to delete.
Guest simonccc Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 I would try reflashing the rooted firmware to your Hudl, it should restore the system partition and put back what you managed to delete. Thanks for the reply. I'm a bit new to all this. Does 'reflashing the rooted firmware' mean rooting it again, using the same process as detailed in the rooting thread?
Guest Robin Wheeler Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 I don't think you can because there is not a rooted image for the latest firmware only for previous ones at this point in time.
Guest simonccc Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 So what should I do next? And will somebody with the same Buid (20150319.222108) please LMK which version of Google Play Services their device is using?
Guest simonccc Posted May 23, 2015 Report Posted May 23, 2015 Can't get past the hudl* screen now - very frustrating!

Any advice to get my HUDL2 up and running would be much appreciated! Hey Simonccc, I created a Rooted /system Image for the latest OS Update. Should fix the problem. I haven't had time to test it yet and it was created with some of my bits and bobs on it. If you give me until tomorrow night ill create a new clean one and post/upload it to the Hudl 2 Root post. If it will help ill create a .Bat file to automate the process.

If it will help ill create a .Bat file to automate the process. I kinda did something similar to my Hudl 2, I Factory Restored it and now I can't get past the "Update Available" screen. It downloads the update, attempts to flash it, but can't because of some of the rooted modifications I'd made. It ends up in the boot loader with a dead Android with options to Erase System, Flash via ADB, External Storage etc. I'm guessing the image you're going to pop up here will help as I can flash to the latest build. However. The ADB -i etc command just gets stuck on waiting for device. Any ideas? Also - sorry for hijacking the thread. Thanks!

Guest bow9487 Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) @cpressland @simonccc Im just about to wipe my Hudl 2 and reRoot/ Create a new /System.img for you guys. Should have it done in an hour or two. Dont forget, While your waiting to get all your drivers in order ADB and so on. Im running on a OSX at the moment and have already made a tool to flash the /system.img file so if either of you are using OSX then pop over to the Hudl 2 Root thread and download that tool ready. If your on windows the instructions are in the first post (by paul) in the Root thread. Ill try and make a Tool to auto mate the process after i have done the /System.img and also right more detailed instructions. @cpressland check your drivers looks like ADB driver isn't installed. When in bootloader type "ADB Devices" without quotes and see if your devices pops up. if not then you will need to reinstall your adb drivers. I just installed PDANet+ and it automates all the driver installation inc ADB. Edited May 24, 2015 by bow9487
Guest bow9487 Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 **UPDATE** Right guys i have just recovered the hudl2 back to factory settings, Rooted and am now as we speak creating the /system.img dump. It can take a while due to the size, Just so you all know i'm currently in work while doing this and i only have mobile broadband available so the upload time is going to be a little while i suspect. Ok as i was typing this the system.img dump.......well dumped so its on its was uploading to mega now. Its 2GB so will take a while. Ill wright up a "How to" while its uploading.

ADB drivers installed (pdaNet+ works well) Click Here 2. Paul's ADB & Fastboot tool (Post 1 of "How to root your Hudl 2) Click Here 3. The /System.img (Android-build.20150319.222108-System-image) Click Here Step one: Install all drivers and ADB Drivers (pdaNet+ will do this for you) Step two: Extract the ADB & Fastboot tool zip to the Computers desktop and place the system.img in that folder Step Three: Open the extracted folder "adbfastboothudl" hold "SHIFT" on your keyboard and right click on some empty space in the folder, Then click "Open Command Window Here" Step four: Enable "USB Debugging" (In developer options) Step five: Connect your Hudl 2 in to your computer with the Hudl 2 USB cable that came with your tablet. WAIT a few seconds for your computer to recognise the Hudl and install the drivers (the tablet may pop up with an authorisation request, click yes) Step six: Back in the command window type "ADB-Windows Devices" without quotes (the tablet may pop up with an authorisation request, click yes) At this point your device ID should come up like this List of devices attached123232423PE387263 device If you see this then you are ready to flash the Root /System.img Step seven: Type in the comand window "adb-windows reboot bootloader" without quotes and hit ENTER Then wait untill the Hudl enters Bootloader, Then type "Fastboot-windows -i 0x1d4d flash system system.img" without quotes and hit ENTER Once you have hit that second ENTER for the love of god do not stop it. It can take a while so let it do its thing. It can take a while, Don't clock watch go make a cuppa. Hope it helps guys. I know its a lot of steps but i have tried to make it as Noob friendly as possible. Edited May 25, 2015 by bow9487

Guest samac Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 @bow9847 Your image is 2.0GB what changes are there? Are there extra packages? Removed packages? Is this just the Tesco stock image or is it a custom image? samac

Any thoughts? Thanks!
Guest robin0800 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 See post 396 in the sticky root thread. This works, I have used it when the last update did this to me!

Guest simonccc Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 Is it a list of ADB Commands? The first line is: Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31 In the middle it lists 'device commands' The last line is: bug tags are printed
Guest bow9487 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 Yeah seems to be adb commands. Are you using the ADB tools from Pauls post? are you opening the command window at the extracted file location?
