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

Post by ManCloud » September 12th, 2018, 1:31 pm

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 ^^

  • I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards or thermonuclear war.
  • 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.

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.
