[ROM][0.3.1] Pre-rooted Stock-Rom with ADB enabled

Hey Guys ^^

I managed to root the 0.3.1 FW and also decrypt the "retron-system-update-0.3.1.img".

I also was able to manipulate the "boot-recovery-SD-fullreset-v0.2.2.img" to contain the pre-rooted, adb enabled firmware i created ^^

  • YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
  • But IF you mess up: just pm me^^ I'll help as much as i can.
How-To: Flash
  • just do everything you would normally do for a factory reset (see here) with one exception: use my image instead!
after that you will be the lucky owner of a RetroN 5 with
  • NetroN 5 application: v2.42 (build 2914)
  • System software: 0.3.1
  • Fully rooted with ADB enabled
How-To: Use ADB
What you need:
  • ADB (i always use THIS one)
  • A mini USB cable
  • Rockchip DriverAssistant (just in case the RetroN 5 is not recognized by your PC)
  • Everything else should be clear or else you don't need this ;)

This doesn't seem to work.

After boot it is requesting an update which overwrites anything that the flasher did. Is the download missing a file? Or am I just missing a step?

I'm coming from a rooted 1.5 with ADB enabled.

The only thing the System should request is an app update as everything should be installed.

This Image has a pree rooted Boot.img including tweaks to bild prop. There is no newer system version (0.3.4 is shipped but not available as update) which would overwrite This.

I'll upload a Version wich already includes the Version 2.5 App. (virtually created 0.3.4 Version)

I think I'm going crazy... Ignore what I was saying about the update. I was selecting the wrong recovery image.. :oops:

I think I need more sleep...

I am still unable to connect via ADB however...

The Retron 5 shows up in my device manager as "Android Device/Android ADB Interface", but ADB does not list it as an attached device.

Reverted back to 1.5 rooted image and ADB is working fine.

You should use the RockchipDriver Assistent for the correct driver. I had the same Problem first, when i started. IT seems Not every driver really suits the interface.

AT first the preinstalled driver on my PC worked Like a charm, after upgrading etc. The driver stopped working. And the Driver Assistant was the only thing able to fix This issue

I am currently using the Rockchip release driver assistant.

I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling the Rockchip ADB driver.
