Cool Nexus 9 my next tablet

I just got my 9 today. fastboot oem unlock right out of the box. BRING ON THE REST!!! w00t!!!
I want to point out that in the developer settings there is a tic box for "Enable OEM Unlock" that needs to be checked before you can run the command.

Getting mine today as well. I've always OEM unlocked immediately and rooted used SuperSU on all my Nexus devices. However, on the latest L Preview for Nexus 5 and 7 Chainfire said you had to install a custom kernel to obtain root due to SELinux changes. Since I'm loathe to run a custom kernel on a new chipset I'm thinking of staying locked for the foreseeable future. Frankly ruins the Android "make it your own" ethos I've ALWAYS valued, but I just ain't gonna put up with tons of growing pains while all this is worked out.....

You should just unlock the bootloader out of the box anyway. Will save you much headache down the road when you decide to do it and already have a bunch of data on your device.

This. I always unlock first thing if I have any intentions on doing it at all. Simply because I don't want to lose my data later on. Unlocking is easy and took me 2 minutes on my nexus 9. No reason not to.

"No reason not to" meaning Google doesn't invalidate warranty merely by unlocking, right ?
Nexus were made to be unlocked.

Oh, that's good to know! This is my first Nexus device.
So, unlocking does not void the warranty in any way?

By from HTC and warranty may be affected.
By from Play, and I think warranty is OK.
I'm considering returning mine since I'm underwhelmed for $400, and I'll just relock it and return to stock first.

I think regarding HTC, it depends on what's affected. I don't think that they will deny you a hardware warranty just because you unlocked the bootloader and/or rooted. Unlocking the bootloader is a safe process sanctioned by HTC themselves. Well, on HTC devices anyway. Nexus won't require HTCdev unlock.
They really can't even tell that you rooted or what you've done if you return to stock. All they know is that you unlocked the bootloader at some point. If the phone legitimately malfunctions, they won't deny you a repair/replacement just because you unlocked.

The first videos are now uploaded, hope you enjoy them. Everytime a new cusom rom is released ill upload a videos running the rom. Ill be testing video, sound, webbrowsing, maps, play store and custom setting(if the rom provides them)

Root method for xt1528 once we can recover from QDL mode

Hi,
If people would like to figure out how to get the xt1528 out from QDL mode then I will provide a method for PERM root and xposed as we did for the moto x here.
This is an article that talks about working with the new sahara protocol the Moto E uses. The qdloader used for the moto x is an older protocol.
Good luck!

You get into it by soft bricking your phone. But you can't get out until someone can do the procedure above. I am sure it is trivial using qfil but I run Linux solely and am not in a rush just giving a helping hand to someone here if they want to put a little effort in.

How's it going?

I can help with this as well. I have my XT1528 on standby. Don't have much dev experience with Android, but I can sure try.

Unless you are willing to stare endearingly at a shiny paperweight that once was your phone, I don't think anyone can do much to help.
To sum this up for new eyes wondering where this might be headed:
Motorola (along with many of the other major phone manufacturers) have removed the ability to load QDownload mode manually. Apparently, the XT1528 along with many newer devices, is now running a new protocol for the diagnostic port. (and there is more than one way the port can be present/active, to further complicate things)
Please do not ask me to explain. I am just barely beginning to understand this stuff myself.
As of right now, the only known method to get our Verizon 2nd gen Moto E into QDL is to actually BRICK the device. At which point the phone will resort to the next level down, since it can not boot properly.
So unless you are willing to intentionally brick your phone to advance this cause... I am afraid that you can not do much.
There is also the looming risk that the device can not be recovered if the new protocols are not figured out. I am treading in uncharted waters here.
Means you or I lost a phone and the $$$ spent on it. By another one and try again.
If you are adamant about wanting to help, click on the 2 links in the OP. @jahrule has posted information that tells us with direction to go.
And if you do not understand what is going on in either article........................................ maybe it is best left alone.
Not being harsh, just safer that way. I am having to figure this stuff out as I go too.
As for progress..? None. I am not intentionally bricking my phone until I gather enough info that will lead me to the conclusion that I can recover the device.
So goes without saying. BE NICE____DO NOT PESTER

@fire3element
I got mine brand new off of Amazon for $48.00, if someone wants to sacrifice the 48 bucks? My note 4 just came in, so I might be willing to brick mine for the cause. I will do some reading where you posted earlier and see what I can do

Are you proposing that we brick the phone and use an international boot loader with the Verizon modem to flash, since the boot loader would be corrupt it wouldn't be locked anymore?

No, we are not trying to mess with the bootloader. I do not think we even could. The ideal way to go about that would be to use the XT1526 Boost Mobile bootloader and modify it to fit the XT1528. Those 2 models are about the closest in hardware of all the variants. (and I have already tried working on this in the last few months with no progress)
I do not think that would work anyways.
What we are attempting to do here is inject root into the system partition after the kernel startup. After the OS is booted, and root is in place, it should become permanent from then on. At least until you delete, install over, or wipe the device.
The issue here is, there is no way to manually put the phone into QDL mode. (as I mentioned in my post above).
Once we are in QDL, there is no known way to get it out. If the flasher tool does not see/read the phone, there will be no way to recover since we can not flash files to fix what we had to break to get there in the first place.
See the paradox now? LoL
Personally, I can not afford to throw this phone to the gutter. Simply do not have that kind of money laying around. If you can stand to throw $50 into the wind, more power to you Bro
Give it a go, but don't be careless just for the sake of wanting to try something. (speaking from experience here)
UPDATE: I think I am going to hold off on this for now. Looks like the Stagefright vulnerability is going to lead to a new ROOT exploit.
This is bad news for android, but great news for those of us that have locked down devices. Please download the Zimperium StageFright Detector app from the play store to see if you device is vulnerable.
If it is, DO NOT TAKE ANY UPDATES till we get confirmation that a new exploit will benefit us or not.

Looked for a video of Josh's DefCon presentation, but could not find one. So either he has not presented yet, or no one had uploaded the vid at this time.
Here is an excerpt from the Zimperium blog:
" 2. Zimperium Research Labs (zLABS) will release a video later this week with a Stagefright RCE demonstration. Several large carriers requested that we delay the release of our working exploit. We agreed, given the gravity of the situation. Unfortunately, because the patches are open-source [1, 2], many researchers are already working on creating an exploit. We are planning to release our exploit on August 24th, 2015. However, if an exploit is publicly released or attacks are detected in the wild before that date, we will release ours for testing purposes at that time. "
and
" 6. Josh will present the full details of his research at Black Hat on August 5th or DEFCON on August 7th. We invite you to join us! "
Hopefully this is the new exploit we have all been waiting for. I know that I need to move away from my current device because of hardware issues, however I can not do that until I root this device. More info is sure to come in the next few weeks

I should have clarified myself. My attempt was to replace the Verizon "locked" bootloader withe the Boost "un-locked" bootloader.
Again, I do not think it will work. However, if the flasher tool will actually work with this phone, then I suppose it would not hurt to try it. If it does not work, simply flash your backup of the original BL.

Is it possible to flash 5.0.1 back after you update? or remove any update..? Hahaha I updated mine for stagefright without thinking. Diddnt know untill i checked it & found it wasnt vunarable. I know it was before.. Ugh. Carelessness on me behalf.

Hey guys, I have this phone as well as the htc desire 526 pp and they are both just laying in a drawer. I bought them when I couldn't afford a real replacement for my broken nexus 6 and now that I don't need either I would be more then willing to sacrifice mine for the sake of helping out. Plus if it works then the phone is rooted, negative if I can't use it I can free up some drawer space. Not a big loss either way as the screen is too small for my liking. Very nice phone otherwise just not enough space or screen.

So just a quick little update on this.
I purposely bricked another Moto E and was able to get it to show up in the Device Manager as QCOM_BULK (not the exact wording, I forgot) . This required me to flash a bad Bootloader to get the device to fail to turn on, thus kicking it into the fall back mode. I tried flashing all other partitions to make the phone go into the BULK mode. None worked except for the bootloader.
Could not get anywhere with it. We need some specific files to flash in order to get the device rooted or bootloader unlocked. Its not just a few files either, and they have some weird extensions.
I ended up taking the device back and getting something else. Just don't have time to keep playing with it. Someone smarter than me could probably get it done with not a whole lot of effort.
Sorry guys. I tried with my limited knowledge and skills.

Since you have abandoned this project, do you think you could PM me any/all info you have? I would like to take a stab at this.

yes, you will run into many problems. 1st problem is desoldering it. 2nd problem if desoldering wasn't a dead end, finding a preprogrammed emmc chip that will work for it is pretty much impossible. but don't worry there is a new exploit for all MediaTek processors that will let you flash partitions in boot rom mode! it's only a matter of time for this device to get hacked.

if you short one of the pads under the sheld to ground you will be able to boot to boot rom mode. that's when you will run the script to that will decrypt the keys so you can flash anything from there.

Bit late but its kinda impossible to change emmc chips.
If you get past soldering you could replace emmc chips with one from an old broken fire
and maybe it will work then
But who knows

we already have full root and bootloader unlock for most of the fire devices now
check the relevant sub for your model

Yes, technically it will but this method is harder to do.
here is a more in-depth guide on this. But I would not use this method, it's complex.
About the bootloader unlock:
The explicit to unlock the bootloader hasn't been ported to your device (if it has, I can't find it on XDA). It's because this model isn't that common. I will help Root you device using this method but I'm not skilled enough to Port the bootloader unlock.

sorry, I didn't read your message carefully. the post that I posted previously was about porting a root method used by the fire 7 (7th gen) which was used before the bootloader unlock was released(well the 5th gen was released at the time but not 7th gen ). that method is a lot easier to do and less likely to kill your device.

Root on 2019 devices

Has anyone got Root on the 2019 models yet?

Take a look at post 2 in the Developer image thread. There are instructions mentioning a beta TWRP and Magisk. Seems like a rooting solution to me. I've never tried this myself but that thread seems like it would be a good start for you.

If you haven't rooted say Android phones before, I'd follow the advise of others. Especially when the root methods are beta in nature and not tried and tested by those with experience. Personally while curious, I'm already on the Nvidia hotfix images and the device works very well for me. I can't see the need as of yet. With that being said all my other Android devices are rooted and hacked to some degree or other.

hi, I have successfully rooted the Shield Pro 2019.
Unfortunately big problems: both 8.0.1 and 8.1.1 aren't stable. To a degree where it's not usable.

I was just checking in and loosing that feature kills it for me. When I bought the device I assumed AI Upscaling was just marketing hype but used it the middle setting definitely adds a 4K likeness to a 1080p image on my 4K projector. I also like that the frame-rate restriction of [email protected] or lower is a non-issue as that is source specific. All streaming sources I play (Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Crave and YouTube) are [email protected] or lower so I'm always having AI Upscaling kick in. Originally I was using frame-rate matching as I thought that was the only way to meet the AI Upscaling criteria but I was mistaken.

Yeah I've done rooting in the past, so I'd be game to try it, but not if it's unstable.

(I accidentally deleted the boot image, but I still have one patched with Magisk, and the recovery image is still present.)
I want to get the entire system dumped, including the original system and boot partitions, which would require some help from other tablet owners (I'm broke right now).
I can walk you through the entire process of rooting the system, I just need willing participants.
(I could also use some help porting TWRP, since I have no idea how that works anymore.)

Hi, just got my hands on this device. I'd appreciate it if you can help me get my device rooted. I'm looking to remove some apps that came along with it. Thanks

Do you want to do Magisk method or GSI method?

I'm not sure really, whichever is easier I think.

You need to dump your `boot.bin`, either from an OTA update, or from a temprooted system.

Hello, I have an Onn 7, Gen 3 that I just picked up. I found the files you posted in the other forum but am not sure how to build a TWRP based off of those. Help please

Im also looking for a root method for the Onn Surf 7 gen 2. I get that i need to use usb debugging to log the url for the ota update, however my unit came with android 11 go and says up to date when i check for updates after a factory reset. can you tell me what I've done wrong? also what program are you using to run adb logcat from PC?
