Yes you can
it's the twrp 2.8.6.1 version

Nice work.
Thx for the credit.

Huge Improvement!
HI @jac10000,
This is great! Way better than what I have posted.
I assume that this can be repackaged to cater to other LG G3 variants, by simply replacing aboot.img, laf.img, boot.img (users need to have this "bump'd" prior), and recovery.img (need to be "bump'd" prior as well) from those of their respective LG G3 variants, correct?
EDIT: I have promoted your approach in my how-to thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59897649&postcount=455

HI @jac10000,
Great to hear.
Based on my experience in the Imageprep thread, installation of custom recovery is the same. I'll go ahead and try it out with my D858HK. Will let you know!

Does it make any difference if I have the LG G3 D855 16GB/2GB variant?
Can anyone report back?

@afilbit It work for 16go/2go and 32go/3go variants

Any other host for the file? Mega is blocked in India :/

@alsiladka Ok I do that , just a moment

What would I need to provide to make this work on a f460k G3 Cat6? I have not found a bump'd boot.img to start with and don't fully understand how to make one myself.

Works great for my LG G3 D855 16GB. Big thanks! [emoji2]

Has anybody tried it on D855TR Turkish version?

I do not know the specific obligations for the f460k. But for the D855 I extracted from kitkat Kdz the aboot.img and laf.img and copy them in the tools folder. I think you must use specific recovery Twrp for the f460k. For the bump boot, I have ever install recovery and bump boot by this method and I use here le boot.img includes in it.

Bump stock lp kernel can be made with linux :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59806620
You need unpackbootimg and mkbootimg bin (you can compile them from source).
For the recovery, open bump in linux or the windows tool made for open bump should do the job

Success
Successfully completed process. TWRP installed and Download mode works. LG Stock OS (V20h-EUR-XX) was rooted before using "No Downgrade" method.

Thank you OP! You have just opened a new world for me.

[TOOL]"1-Click Transformer Root"-Root/Unroot/cwm/stock rec-TF101(G)/201/300T(G)/SL101

[TOOL]"1-Click Transformer Root"-Root/Unroot/cwm/stock rec-TF101(G)/201/300T(G)/SL101
This may be the first completely automated tool for getting root on any ICS Asus Transformer - TF101 / TF101G / TF201 / TF300X / SL101 for all ICS firmware including the latest TF101(G) 9.2.2.6 / 9.2.2.4 and 9.2.1.27 / 9.2.1.25 / 9.2.1.21, TF201 9.4.2.28, TF300T 9.4.3.30 and TF300TG 9.4.4.40.
You can use it on any SBKv1 / SBKv2 / SBKv3 tablet including B70 / B80 / B90 as it is not NVFlash based.
Your data stays intact and OTA functionality is not lost. No more need to downgrade to get root.
You can also use it for flashing CWM recovery or returning to Asus stock recovery ( to re-enable OTA ). (TF101(G),SL101 only)
DOWNLOAD - "1-Click Transformer Root_1.1"
(v1.1) (TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101 - See note dated 16-Jun below)
OR
DOWNLOAD - "1-Click Transformer Root" (v1.0) (TF101(G),SL101 only)​
UPDATE 16-Sep-2012 - CWM updated to Rogue XM Recovery 1.5.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8).
Please download latest version of tool and extract to a new directory and run the tool and select option 3 (Install CWM recovery).
UPDATE 21-Aug-2012 - Segmentation fault fully fixed; unroot improved; Superuser replaced with SuperSU.
UPDATE 16-June-2012 - Version 1.1 out. All tablets supported, all ICS. TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101!
v1.1 Uses a new exploit method and is much quicker and simpler. For the TF201/300X, only root/unroot options exist, no recovery installation. Everything works for the TF101(G),SL101.
UPDATE 15-June-2012 - Version 1.0 out for TF101(G)/SL101 only. Added unroot option.
- Before running this tool please kill Asus sync or any other tool that may be starting any competing ADB instances.
Please post your experiences and vote in the poll above. It'll be very helpful to improve this tool! Please try both versions of the tool and get some help in this thread before voting NO :fingers-crossed:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
1. If you're on a standard tablet and just need root (TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101)
- Step 1. Download and extract
DOWNLOAD - "1-Click Transformer Root_1.1"
(v1.1) (TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101 - See note dated 16-Jun above)
OR
DOWNLOAD - "1-Click Transformer Root" (v1.0) (TF101(G),SL101 only)​ - Step 2. Run "1-Click Transformer Root.bat" and let it continue over multiple reboots.
- You'll be root. And with stock Asus recovery.

}
2. If you have root and need Asus stock recovery. (TF101(G),SL101 only)
Why? To enable OTA and/or return to stock like conditions
- Step 1. Run "1-Click Transformer Root.bat". (v1.0)
- Step 3. You'll be presented with a menu. Choose option (4)
- You'll have stock Asus recovery
3. If you have root and need CWM recovery. (TF101(G),SL101 only)
Why? Nandroid backups and restores. Debrick. Flexibility. Numerous other reasons. ( but no OTA)
- Step 1. Run the tool "1-Click Transformer Root.bat". (v1.0)
- Step 2. You'll be presented with a menu. Choose option (3)
- You'll have CWM Recovery
4. If you have root, you can also choose to unroot (TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101)
Why? Taking your tablet back to Asus for warranty. Uninstalling all changes done by this tool.
- Step 1. Run the tool "1-Click Transformer Root.bat" ( Either v1.0 (TF101(G),SL101 only) or v1.1 (TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101))
- Step 2. You'll be presented with a menu. Choose option (1)
- You'll be unrooted. This will delete all trace of changes made by this tool.
- If the tool finds the stock Asus recovery file for your tablet, it will also flash the stock recovery.
- Unrooting only makes sense if you're otherwise on stock ROM and obtained root using this tool.
5. If you have root, you can reboot into recovery (TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101)
Why? So you don't have to press Vol and Power buttons etc to get into recovery / ROM Manager can't reboot to recovery in the Transformer.
- Step 1. Run the tool "1-Click Transformer Root.bat" ( Either v1.0 (TF101(G),SL101 only) or v1.1 (TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101))
- Step 2. You'll be presented with a menu. Choose option (2)
- You'll be rebooted into your current recovery, whatever it is.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
You will be presented with the menu only if you have root, else root in one step! :highfive:
You can run it multiple times to retry if it fails for any reason. It cleans up after itself.
You'll need:
- At least 50% battery
- USB debugging enabled on your device
- To run this tool on any Windows PC with a working direct internet connection (Proxy users see post #2)
- Please allow any driver installation (DPINST) dialogs to succeed. If automated ADB driver installation doesn't work, you can manually install them from the adb-drivers directory
- Please run the tool as Administrator
- Here's a small tutorial for beginners.
If the tablet is not being detected by the tool, please try any or all of the following:
- Disable and re-enable USB debugging on the tablet with the cable connected and the tool waiting
- Disconnect and reconnect the cable to the same or different USB port while the tool is waiting
- Reboot the PC and run the tool again
- Wait upto 5 mins while the tool is waiting before pressing Control-C to stop execution and running the tool again.

Following are some stock Asus files, rest are in the second post. (TF101(G),SL101 only)
There's no need to manually download your firmware specific file from here. The tool should do it automatically.
Recovery blobs (TF101(G),SL101 only)
This section is for the TF101(G),SL101 only
There's no more any need to manually download your firmware specific file from here. The tool should do it automatically.
- These are the stock recovery files needed for switching recoveries between CWM and stock.
- If you're behind a proxy, then don't double click the tool, open a DOS command prompt and cd to the '1-Click Transformer Root' directory and type:
Code:
SET http_proxy=http://your_proxy:proxy_port
"1-Click Transformer Root.bat"
to run the program.
- If you don't have internet, then fret not, you can manually download the Asus stock recovery from the second post and extract it in the 'Source' folder. Even if you don't do this, you will still have root.
THESE FILES ARE NOT NEEDED FOR GETTING ROOT, ONLY TO SWITCH BETWEEN CWM AND STOCK RECOVERY
SWITCHING RECOVERIES FEATURE ONLY WORKS ON THE TF101/TF101G/SL101
These are the stock Asus recovery files:
Neat tool, but you should print some errors on screen if the checks fail. Otherwise it just looks like it's frozen at the step. The checks are a bit overwritten, but good job!
Unrooted to test and seems to work, but it failed the busybox check and ADB check a couple times and froze, you may want to simplify the .bat a bit.
Thanks for your feedback. I have updated the tool with some more descriptive output.
I also added in Slider support.
I shall soon be uploading all the Slider recoveries too.
EDIT - I believe there are no special Slider recoveries. They run the same firmware as the TF101.

Sorry, it didn´t work for me.
He couldn´t copy any files because of an read-only file system(see attachment)
I tried it on an Asus slider(9.2.1.24) and copied the stock recovery blob into the source folder.
do you have any solution for that?
sry for my bad english=)

Hi,
Can you run the updated tool and send me the full ouput copied as text?
You can replace the first line in "1-Click Transformer Root.bat"
@echo off
to
@echo on
before running and then capture the full output as text.
Didn´t work with the updated Version.
i attached the output with @echo on
thx
Update, it seems that recovery mode ADB may need another set of ADB drivers to work.
The symptom is when you boot into CWM recovery, adb can't seem to connect to the tablet but it can do so fine when the tablet is in normal mode.
So the tool may fail after installing recovery.
This is happening on a Slider.
If anyone else with a Slider or even TF101 can confirm this then great.
Can you do a:
adb shell
to your tablet when in recovery mode?
If this tool seems to get stuck in recovery and waits there forever, then you can try installing the drivers located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
Both the android_apxusb.inf and android_winusb.inf file
And please report your findings.
worked!!
OK with your new version, he started in CWM-Recovery after installin, stayed for a while but wenn the PC installed the right drivers your tool continued and finished without any Problem!!!
Now i´m rooted with stock recovery!!Very nice
THANK YOU very much!!!

Looks like you're getting the:
adb server is out of date. killing...
error. This is because some other adb.exe version on your PC is starting up from somewhere.
You can, either:
1. Try again ( I have uploaded an updated version of the tool )
2. Kill any running adb.exe and any other tool that might be starting it and try again
3. Disable mock locations on the tablet if it's set and try again
4. I have uploaded an updated version of the tool. Try that.
5. Find all other versions of adb.exe on your PC and replace them with the one from this package ( I have just updated it with the latest adb.exe)
6. Remove any other versions of adb from your path if it's there.
That throws errors, but adb still works with it. I get it all the time, you can fix with a cd %dp% or similar.

Add this right under Echo off at the top of your bat. It changes to the current directory.

Thanks for that. I was changing CWD earlier, but have used it anyways for proofing it more.
So it still doesn't solve other ADB instances of different versions coming and killing this one.
I tried t.
The only permanent solution I could find was to download the latest Platform SDK from Google (or better yet, use the ones provided by this tool - it's the current latest) and making sure that this ADB directory is in the user's PATH variable.
And the following files from the latest platform tools directory (or our tool) is replicated wherever adb.exe exists in the whole system:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
Nice, it works for me! I just rooted my Slider 101 with this tool, works great, no Porblems at all. Thanks vor this tool!
Thanks very much, much this worked with my TF101 using the universal naked drivers linked above. Now have root on ICS 9.2.1.24!

Great work, thank you very, very much! I love to use DroidWall and Titanium Backup...
I have my german Slider now for 2 days and was very happy to see, that there is a one-click-root-possibility. That makes the experience of the slider much better.
I am really very thankfull! And I hope, that the OTA Updates will work, but this only the future will show.

Hi!
Glad you're root! You can confirm if you're on Asus recovery by running the tool again. You will get a menu this time and choose option "5. Reboot into current recovery.".
It should reboot you into Asus recovery where you'll get an Android icon and it'll stay there. You'll have to physically reboot.
That confirms you're on stock Asus recovery and OTAs will work fine.
If, for any reason you get the CWM recovery menu, then fret not. You can always download your stock Asus recovery file from the second post and extract the files in the 'Source' directory and rerun the tool and choose option '4. Install Asus stock recovery.'
That should do the trick. Good luck!

Somehow you lost your recovery menu. If your bootloader is locked you need to start again from the beginning of the rooting guide.

Hello,
Seems missing the download path of "Z1C-lockeddualrecovery(...)flashable.zip" and is it also copy to SD card?
Unlocked bootloader
Requirements
Latest flashtool ( http://www.flashtool.net )
fastboot and flashmode drivers installed
Z1 Compact with unlocked bootloader
ftf of firmware (check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631291 or general section for official firmwares)
SuperSU ( http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu )
Custom kernel with recovery (e.g. dualrecovery kernel or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620794 )
Note: Kernel needs to be for the specific firmware version (dualrecovery kernel is only for latest firmware)
Tutorial
You will not lose any data. It is still recommend to take a backup.
Copy the firmware ftf to your flashtool installation in the folder firmwares/
Download SuperSU and put on your SD card (do not unpack)
Boot your phone in flashmode (Hold volume down while phone is off and plug in your USB cable)
Open flashtool and flash your ftf (select Wipe [Uncheck Data] and Exclude [Uncheck ALL])
After flashing, boot your phone in fastboot mode (Hold volume up while phone is off and plug in your USB cable)
Download a custom kernel and unzip until you have a file called *.img
Put the custom kernel inside the folder of flashtool called x10flasher_lib/
Open cmd and navigate to this folder (e.g. cd C:\flashtool\x10flasher_lib)
Execute the following command to flash the custom kernel (boot.img is the filename of the kernel, change if needed)
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
Boot your phone and go to the recovery menu
Note: This is different in some kernels, default is to hold volume up when the led lights up
Optional: If you are using dualrecovery kernel, flash the kernel flashable zip
Flash SuperSU zip
You're done!

You need latest flashtool. Ok thanks, for the tip, which recovery are you using? It's advanced in CWM.
Downloading the latest flashtool now...Don't know which recovery, can't check at the moment cause i'm in bootloop but it's from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634196
Edit: Flashed with latest flashtool and suceeded, KitKat installed.
Edit 2 : When opening SuperSU, it needs to update binaries, I have to choose normal cause there's no recovery. Says installing but nothing happens (rebooted elready and tried again).

Root should still work. But to fix the problem, try this.
Download SuperSU from here: ( http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu )
Copy the file su from the folder arm to somewhere on your phone. (e.g. /tmp)
Give correct permissions (755)
Then copy it to /system/xbin and overwrite the old one.
Please let me know if it worked.

What is the error message? And have you tried with adb?
And can you check if your system flashable zip has the same hash as in the first post?
With Root Explorer, first mesage is :The current file sytem is r only. Do you want to remount as r-write and continue the operation, / yes / su already exists. Do you want to overwrite it? / yes / Copy failed su to /system/xbin
Haven't tried with adb, how please?
How to check the hash?

Optimized Boot Image (Ramdisk/Kernel) for 6.0.1 Boost Desire 626s

***BOOST VARIANT ONLY*** ***BOOST VARIANT ONLY*** ***BOOST VARIANT ONLY***
CLEAR/DELETE DALVIK-CACHE FOLDER FROM "/data/dalvik-cache" IN ROOT EXPLORER OR TWRP AFTER INSTALLING BOOT IMAGE TO ALLOW SYSTEM TO ADJUST
##FLASH THE LATEST SUPERSU ZIP BELOW##
P.S. I NOTICE IT IS NO LONGER SYSTEM-LESS MODE. SO WE CAN TRIM THE SUPERSU SYSTEM-LESS CONTENT FROM THE RAMDISK.
Tweaked the contents of the boot image to allow for faster boot and better runtime performance. I use it as my daily driver. App performance is snappier. Only for the Boost Desire 626s. Unzip and flash with Flashify, TWRP, or your choice of image flasher. I also added some optimization scripts to supplement the boot image. Run them with Smanager, Root Explorer or in the terminal. Also here is a zip 601626SPIEFIX.zip that when flashed in TWRP recovery will allow the system to run non-pie executables and it works great. You'll be able to run custom binaries without any issue or error. All zips in this thread are the latest.
If you have ISSUES WITH DATA SPEEDS in certain areas, especially if you tether, GO INTO THE DIALER and DIAL *#*#4636#*#* then ACCESS PHONE INFORMATION and SELECT CDMA auto (PRL) UNDER SET PREFERRED NETWORK TYPE. LTE seems to be problematic in certain areas with speeds dropping to 150kbps and with this solution you'll be getting about 600 to 700kbps so at least it'll be a gain until you get into an area with better LTE coverage. In a good coverage area, I get download speeds of up to 5 to 7 mbps with LTE on, but in bad areas, CDMA works better. If you want to tether with a wireless third party solution make sure to run in a terminal window or adb shell as root : pm disable com.htc.tetheringguard

ANDBLOCKDEV.sh from scripts zip will speed up file input and output speeds, its contents have been incorporated into the boot image so the scripts files are for your own archival.
The zip DESIRE626SIMGTOOL.zip contains the android image kitchen and the 6.0.1 Boost Desire 626S boot image contents already extracted into two folders split_img and ramdisk with recent modifications. Enjoy!
http://www.vysor.io/ is a great tool to control your android device from a computer within chrome. You should try it out.
I provided a zip named HTCDrivers.zip containing the installation for both fastboot and adb drivers for the Boost Desire 626S, and minimal adb and fastboot. This will help you connect your device up with Vysor.
COPY the FILES; fastboot.exe, adb.exe, AdbWinUsbApi.dll and AdbWinApi.dll FROM - C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot - TO - C:\Windows\System32 - AND - C:\Windows\SysWOW64
Once you have installed the drivers for HTC devices,
and copied the minimal adb and fastboot files specified above to both system folders, you should be able to run adb commands without a problem by just opening a command prompt as administrator,
and RUNNING the command:
adb devices
- to start the adb server. This will allow connection with Vysor.

For those who prefer nightbreed813's 6.0.1 slim rom version, I uploaded 601VPNDIALOGSFIX.zip to fix the issue with authorizing VPN clients, but first YOU HAVE TO CREATE /system/priv-app/VpnDialogs in Root Explorer or any other root filesystem browser, then reboot to TWRP recovery and flash the zip.

Also, you can get your MSL/SPC security code easily.........
Use the info in this thread to get your MSL/SPC security code so you can write new values to NV entries in the modem. Some values are locked but you can change the BC config for both LTE and CDMA so that would at least be helpful.
INFO HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spri...k-sim-t3314755

Android settings can be changed in the terminal for three namespaces; system, global and secure.
In the terminal run:

For each namespace all associated settings and their values will be listed. To change a setting type:

Will this run on the Metro Variant?
As far as I know no but you can try in case it might.
Enter these commands in a new terminal window:
cd /dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name
dd if=boot of=/sdcard/backup.img
The backup boot image can be flashed from the sdcard in TWRP recovery if the device fails to boot into the system after flashing the boot image contained in the zip in the attachments.
Is there anyway you would be able to make one for the metro Variant if i upload my boot image?

Did you try unzipping the boot image and flashing it already? I don't think it could work that way. I would do it if I had the metro version myself.

Backup your kernel boot image to your sdcard and flash the boost version just to make sure.
cd /dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name
dd if=boot of=/sdcard/backup.img
Then unzip the 601bootimg.zip file with Zarchiver in the Play Store and flash the extracted boot image.

Flash back the backed up boot image in TWRP and see if the sdcard mounts right. The mount point contained in the boost boot image is probably wrong for the the sdcard/emmc in the metropcs phone.
I did but my sdcard got corrupted so i was forced to format it.

Use the tool at the link below to unpack the image, make your modifications, and repack the image contents (The ramdisk and split_img folders.) It's available for Windows, Linux and Android. It's a simple process expect for knowing what you'd need to do to the image.

Use the tool at the link below to unpack the image, make your modifications, and repack the image contents (The ramdisk and split_img folders.) It's available for Windows, Linux and Android. It's a simple process expect for knowing what you'd need to do to the image.

My mistake i was in a hurry when i typed that last reply.
Im aware of how to unpack/repack boot images and i appreciate the link,but i was wondering what modifications that were made.if youd prefer not to share,i can upload my boot image if youd like to make the modifications yourself.im just trying to make this compatible with the metro version.
The same modifications done for the Boost Desire 626S might not work well for the MetroPCS version so upload the image you backed up yesterday as an attachment in a reply post and I'll work on it.
Thanks a ton!

Run busybox top in the terminal on your phone and post some screenshots so I can see what might need to be done. We want to see what processes would be the culprit behind bogging down precious processor time and reducing the snappiness of the device in reacting to realtime input and handling current requests.

SM-T380/T385 Root?

Is anyone working on rooting this device? I just bought one and it seems to be a really nice tablet, except I'd prefer something other than touchwiz. Although I'd be perfectly happy with just rooting at least.
If there's no one rooting it, could someone help me find the resources to learn how to possibly root this device myself? I'm a beginner with modding android but I pick up things quickly so I'd like to at least give it a shot.
Yesterday I has rooted it via Magisk Manager APK v.5.5.3 & Magisk 15.2.
Procedure:
1. Unpack stock firmvare ***.tar.md5 that is currently installed on your tablet (they MUST BE the same!!!).
2. Then unpack AP-block from step 1 to obtain "boot.img" file.
3. Download & install on tablet MM APK.
4. Put "boot.img" on SDCARD.
5. Run MM, in setiings set "Patch kernel", then setup the Magisk zip (Wi-Fi must be connected to Internet ).
6. When asked, point MM to place on SDCARD where "boot.img" saved.
7. After some time You will get "OK".
8. Find on SDCARD file "patched_boot.img". Copy in on PC & rename to "boot.img". Then archive it to "<any name>.tar".
9. Set tablet to download mode & flash above tar-file via AP-slot of Odin-programm.
10. Tablet will reboot & ask to wipe all data to factory's params. Do it... Be noticed, that all passwords, setting, google regisery will be wiped.
11. After wiping & reboting install MM APK again... And YEAH!!! You got root!

Thank you so much. I am a newbie to the whole rooting android thing. I came across this post when trying to root my SM-T385 tab and thought it was too complicated. I tried many other simpler methods and nothing worked. Finally, I took my time figure out your solution and lo-behold it actually works.:good:
I am now a proud owner of a rooted android tablet.
Thank you for the detailed write-up. Just got a new SM-T380 (already on 7.1.1) and would like to have root.
I followed the instructions and got to the Odin Flash part and the tablet came up with "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed". Had to hard reset to get it to boot again (w/o root).
Anyone know of a workaround or why didn't work on this one?

There is no "Fastboot Mode" in this model, like in many other from Sansung, HTC ets. Samsung also insert absolutely bad for ROM-creators KNOX system.
So here is S-shot for OEM is unlocked (and tablet is rooted)... But there no chances for "fastboot"

Under Linux I use Heimdall. Here is screen, where device are detected & ready to be flashed.
One thing about Heimdall... Version from repos didn't work with our device. So we have to compile it from Benjamin-Dobell github where this bug are fixed yet.
Building source is trivial:

OEM Unlock Enabled On New Update
I contacted Samsung and spoke with them about the OEM unlock feature missing from developer options and explained I needed to root my table for development purposes for work. They gave me the usual reply of we don't support rooting. I replied I'm not asking you to. I'm asking you to unlock the boot loader on a device I bought, belongs to me and should be allowed to modify as I see fit. I am aware of security and warranty issues please do something about this. Remember Apples DE boggle. A few days later an OTA update puts the feature in my developer options. Coincidence or did they listen? Who knows. I will be trying the root procedure as soon as the new rom downloads and I can get the boot.img from the AP Block. I'll let you guys know how it comes out.
Root Achieved!!! For Cellular South Build T380XAR1AQK3
1. Unpack stock firmvare ***.tar.md5 that is currently installed on your tablet (they MUST BE the same!!!).
2. Then unpack AP-block from step 1 to obtain "boot.img" file.
3. Download & install on tablet MM APK.
4. Put "boot.img" on SDCARD.
5. Run MM, in setiings set "Patch kernel", then setup the Magisk zip (Wi-Fi must be connected to Internet ).
6. When asked, point MM to place on SDCARD where "boot.img" saved.
7. After some time You will get "OK".
8. Find on SDCARD file "patched_boot.img". Copy in on PC & rename to "boot.img". Then archive it to "<any name>.tar".
9. Set tablet to download mode & flash above tar-file via AP-slot of Odin-programm.
10. Tablet will reboot & ask to wipe all data to factory's params. Do it... Be noticed, that all passwords, setting, google regisery will be wiped.
11. After wiping & reboting install MM APK again... And YEAH!!! You got root!
OK with the new update the boot loader can be unlocked from dev options and the above method for rooting is %100 successful. Just make sure to tell Magisk Manager under settings to output patched boot.img to odin mode "img.tar" then just flash the patched_boot.img.tar via the AP slot with Odin.

I know at last 3 person with the same situation... Sometimes, when we try to change region of firmware or try to root it out by progs like Kingo, Kingroot & CF-Autoroot it seems to Samsung, that You are dangerous hacker - and it set the 1-week "penalty" mode. So OEM-unblocking became disabled during this penalty period.
Like I said Who Knows, I am Curious...
I am curious if anyone missing the OEM Unlock feature in dev options running build T380DXU1AQI7 before this morning received an OTA update to build number T380XAR1AQK3 with the ability to unlock your bootloader from dev options. I haven't changed regions successfully flashed anything to this tablet and have had it for a month. OEM unlock appeared after OTA update this morning. Now I'm rooted and all is well. Before restarting your tablet if you root this build I would suggest turning OEM Unlocking on again after rooting, as it wipes your tablet, otherwise you will get an error message about not being able to boot unauthorized binaries and have to repeat the process.

If you could try this build of TWRP out. It's built using the T380 kernel, but should work for the T385 also.

The errors you are seeing are due to an encrypted data partition. TWRP doesn't support Samsungs encryption method yet.
To mount DATA you need to FORMAT the DATA partition and flash my encryption patch to disable encryption which you can find in my sig.
When I post a proper thread all instructions will be there. For now you can consult any one of my TWRP threads for more info.

How To Guide [GUIDE][HowTo]Pushing an OTA.zip Update with ADB Sideload - via Recovery - via Local Update

ANNOUNCEMENT: I'M STOPPING THE FOLLOW UP AND UPDATE OF THIS TOPIC TODAY, IF SOMEONE WANTS TO TAKE OVER, CONTACT THE MODERATOR IN THIS LINK.
THE TOPIC REMAINS AS IT IS AND WILL NOT BE UPDATED ANYMORE (BY ME ANYWAY!)
GOOD CONTINUATION TO ALL
Installing an OTA.zip Update with ADB Sideload​
- Disclaimer: I don't take any responsibility for anything you do to your tablet, which is to transform it into brick, break, or transform it into coffee machine - ​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In this thread you will find different ways to install an OTA update :
Via ADB SIDELOAD (this post) - Via Recovery Mode - Via Local Upgrade
​I am writing this tutorial on ADB Sideload, one more on this topic, in order to be able to push an OTA Zip update, which for some reason could not be done properly.
Sometimes manufacturers allow users to make links or zip files of OTA updates available to other users. Once you have downloaded the OTA zip file, you will need this tutorial to proceed with the installation.
I borrowed the first two screenshots from the web so that I could explain clearly with pictures.
In the end it is very simple and requires little command line knowledge. But you will need to check some things:
- Firmware stock
- Unmodified system partition
- Third party apps like Magisk, Xposed Framework, and as a precaution TWRP Recovery should not be installed on your smartphone
Before starting, here is the list of prerequisites to perform the sideloading of the OTA package.
1. Have a backup of your data, even if theoretically performing a sideload will not erase your data,
2. Download the USB Drivers from the manufacturer, or the latest one from Google ( Link )
3. If you haven't already done so, you must download and install Android SDK Platform-tools (platform-tools_r33.0.2-windows.zip)
4. Don't forget to push on this folder "platform-tools" the file named "Global full Nothing OS 1.1.0.zip" - for example- that you need
4. And finally you will have to activate the USB debugging of your Phone(1) : to do so, you have to go to : Settings => System => Advanced => Type 7 times on the build number => once done, a pop-up will appear and will tell you that you have become a "Developer" => On some devices you will have to type in the Pin code.
5. Once you have become a developer => go back to System => Developer Options => Enable the USB Debug toggle
6. That's it if you are ready to do a Sideload, but also other operations!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
​
These prerequisites are essential for this and a number of other operations.
You are ready, the tension is rising! You will succeed!
To do this, you must reboot your Phone(1) into the standard recovery system and you have 2 ways to reboot into Recovery.
1. You can use the hardware key combination specific to your smartphone.
2. Or use the ADB command
Booting into Recovery Stock mode with the ADB command
You go to the start screen of your PC and in the search bar you type:
Code:
cmd
and then press Enter. The command prompt starts.
Depending on where you have placed your "Platform-tools" folder you type:
Code:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd c:\platform-tools
and you should see on your command line screen
Code:
c:\platform-tools>
Once you are in your Platform-tools folder, connect your smartphone to your PC, making sure that USb debugging is effective.
Type the following command: adb devices and you should see the identification of your smartphone
When you run an ADB command, you should see an RSA key prompt on your smartphone screen asking you to allow USB debugging. Press OK to allow it.​
Type the following command: adb reboot recovery​
Then the command: adb sideload "file name".zip - For the example, I typed the full name of the file, but you can rename the file shorter like "nothing_ota".zip
That's it, normally the installation is started and you just have to wait for the update to be installed on your device. Once the installation is successful, you can restart your device.
I hope this tutorial has helped you to push an OTA.zip update.
Go ahead now
Installation via recovery mode​
The recovery mode of the Phone(1) is similar to that of the Google Pixel. This allows you to easily sideload the update packages via the recovery interface.
To perform this process, here are the steps and requirements:
Have downloaded the .zip file of the update to your computer
Your Phone(1) must be recognised by the ADB command on your computer
The Process:
Go to your Shell terminal, then run the recognition command:
Code:
adb devices
then the command :
Code:
adb reboot recovery
On your Phone(1) screen, you should see this "No command"
While pressing the Power button, press the Volume Up button then release both buttons quickly. The Android recovery menu should be visible.
Nothing Phone 1 recovery mode
On your Phone(1) screen, select the option: Apply update from ADB.
On your computer, run the command:
Code:
adb devices
This should return the serial number of the device with the 'sideload' next to its name, indicating that your device is connected to the computer in sideload mode.
On your computer, run the command:
Code:
adb sideload "filename".zip
The "filename" part should be replaced with the full path, followed by the name of the file downloaded in step 1.
The update will be installed on your phone.
Once the installation is complete, select "Reboot system now" on your phone to reboot into the new version.
Well done, you have installed the new update of Nothing OS to your Phone(1) with success
To date I still haven't received my phone(1). Once I have it in my hands, I will make screenshots about this tutorial.
Install OTA using Local Upgrade method​
Create a folder named “ota” (without the quotes) at the root of the internal storage. Meaning outside every folder.
Copy the OTA update ZIP file from above to that folder.
Open the phone app and Dial ##682##
This should launch an offline update tool.
The tool will scan for an OTA file from internal storage and install it.
If that fails, you can manually browse for the OTA package.
After selecting the OTA file, the wizard will apply the update.
Reboot the device and you are on the latest firmware.

I think also after update, reboot, redo the step and sideload also Magisk for keep root

Yes I agree, but those tutos are for everyone, and everyone doesn't rooted his smartphone like us
So I won't confuse them
hello, thanks for the guide, when I do all the steps without any problems and reboot, it opens with the old version, where could I be doing wrong?
This will work to downgrade the phone also?

Hi, I am currently trying to update from Nothing OS 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 but i keep receiving this error even though i have uninstalled magisk, didn't modify my system partition and have a stock firmware. The phone is still able to boot correctly after this failed installation but i cannot flash the new update.

What I did was reboot to recovery, navigate to Apply Update via Sideload through the recovery interface and from there entered the command adb sideload filename.zip so i guess it is the method in post 2
UPDATE:
I have tried the method in Post 1 and this error shows up:
UPDATE 2:
I have tried revoking USB DEBUGGING authorization, adb kill-server, adb start-server and authorizing again
I have tried deleting adbkey and adbkey.pub files in C:Users/$Name/.android
I have tried following suggestions about solving this error both from this and this StackOverflow thread
Nothing worked for me.
You don't need to use ADB to sideload an OTA, the nothing phone contains an OTA updater In the phones os already, the only thing you need the computer for is to move the OTA to the phone
Here is what someone on the nothing discord said to do and it worked
dont sideload
Create a folder named “ota” (without the quotes) at the root of the internal storage of your phone. Then copy the update ZIP file to that folder.
Dial `*#*#682#*#* `to open up the offline update tool.
You can also use an activity launcher app to locate and execute the “OfflineOTAUpgrade” tool. The package name of the tool is com.nothing.OfflineOTAUpgradeApp.
Hi, I have just tried your method but an error window pops up:
Hello, can I normally use in built in recovery updater to upgrade to 1.1.4 if I'm rooted and have Nacisk installed?
