Root Asus Zenfone Laser ASUS_Z01BDC

This is more for my future reference than anything else

1. First of all, this model is actually a ZC551KL for which there is an unlock tool at Asus. After enabling Developer Mode and USB debugging, plug the Z01BDC aka ZC551KL to your PC. and follow these steps.
1. Verify that the device is connected to your PC. Typically you'll see it as another drive.
2. Move the downloaded unlock tool from your PC to the Download folder on your device using Windows File Explorer.
3. Tap the APK file to install and run. You will see the device factory reset.
4. Wait for the device to display on-screen set up steps and follow them.
5. Get developer mode and enable USB debugging. Download USB driver if necessary from Phone USB Drivers.
6. Under Settings make a note of the Software information, e.g. WW-31.40.13.50-20170807. The model may still show ASUS_Z01BDC, but don't believe the hype. Ignore and continue.
7. Go to Asus support and download the firmware image that matches step 6. This is precautionary. Hopefully we will not need this download.
9. Download TWRP image to the ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC.
10. Download SuperUser to the ADB and Fastboot directory on your PC. 11. Rename the files recovery.img and su.zip to make the next command line instructions easier to type.
12. Assuming you have ADB and Fastboot installed on your PC, navigate to where you installed Android, ADB and Fastboot for example: C:\Users\SpiFi\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools
13. Move the recovery and su files to the ADB and Fastboot directory.
14. Open a command line at that directory and type: "adb reboot bootloader". You should see that the device is unlocked.
15. In same command line window type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
16. Open command line window and navigate to the Fastboot and ADB directory, e.g.,

Victory Cross Country Motorcycle Not Shifting Gears

During the weekend before Thanksgiving, I road two up and a load through Twentynine Palms and Joshua Tree. The half hour uphill stop and go at the monument's entrance resulted in the bike not shifting out of 3rd gear and revving with no acceleration. After a brief stop and cool down, the bike seemed to behave normally going down hill, but the next long uphill caused the motor to hesitate while not shifting gears to gain power.
After checking that all battery connections and ground connections to the chassis were sound, I drove it to Desert Cycle Works in Twentynine Palms.
The guys there were great and did not just dismiss it as an internal engine problem. After listening to me describe the riding conditions just prior to experiences shiftlessness, they loosened the clutch cable...free of charge. My passenger and I made it back to Los Angeles.

Lenovo Yoga Book Android - Breaking Super User

I have found that when using Linux Deploy to install a Linux distro, the install process stops after breaking super user, the scripts cannot continue as root privilege is no longer in place.

After booting into TWRP and flashing the Super User Update file from ChainFire, I soft bricked the elegantly designed Lenovo Yoga Book. Yay! Now I need to go back and revisit my earlier post on how to Root the Yoga Book.

New approach to rooting after enabling developer options and yada yada yada...

Nexus 7 2013 WiFi not Recognizing USB WiFi Adapter

Decided to start over by flashing the CM mod downloaded from here. GAAPS zip file from here. Following this instructional video at YouTube.

Trying to get Android / Kali Net Hunter to Recognize a USB Wifi Adapter

First of all, apt-get update is not working against what is in the /data/local/nhsystem/kali-armhf/etc/apt/sources.list. I got rid of everything in there and added deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
The apt-get update now returns an error on expired keys. To resolve this, I opened a command line in Kali and typed: apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7D8D0BF6
After editing sources.list, I ran the following one at a time and in this order: apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade, apt-get install kali-linux-nethunter Here is the source of this nugget: Kali forums.
I picked up a $10.00 TL-WN725N USB WiFi adapter from Office Depot. Through Google, I discovered that the chipset is rtl8192cu.
Now I will follow askUbuntu on how to install the driver. Also following pvaret on GitHub

September 11.

Remembering to never forget.

Bricking the Nexus 7 2013 with Kali Net Hunter

I plugged in the TP-Link TL-WN722N wifi adapter and got no blinking light on the adapter. Figuring it was a problem with my Android build, I started playing around with flashing different images in different ways, which eventually resulted in an unresponsive tablet, both on the touch screen and eventually not moving past the Google Logo after power on.

After several times incorrectly trying to flash a stock image, I eventually erased the entire system partition with the Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT). See the following screenshots.

---

Voila, the tablet booted into the familiar interface; however, since things never go smoothly, the auto rotate no longer worked. Therefore I uninstalled all unnecessary apps, pressed gently on the N and S letters on the backside logo, turned auto rotate on and off several times, powered down the device several times, and twirled around in a counter clockwise circle while chanting the F word. Eventually auto rotate mysteriously started working.

The next issue was all the space taken up by the sdCard/!ReadytoFlash folder created by NRT. In order to delete the unnecessary zip files, I rebooted into the TWRP recovery and used its file manager to delete.

After all this, the USB adapter with a TP-Link TL-WN722N antenna is still not recognized by the Marshmallow tablet.

Stay tuned, I will be back to report what magical sequence of spells are required to make it work.

Installing Kali Net Hunter on Nexus 7

Start here.
Then you'll need this
I found that the most important part was installing the ADB drivers for the device.
Follow the Nexus Root Toolkit instructions on how to delete existing USB drivers, because you may find that Windows likes to install the USB connected device under MTP. It needs to be in the Device Manager under Android | Android ADB.
I also found that disconnecting the Internet / WiFi on the host PC helps prevent Windows from going out to the internet to search for drivers that will overwrite the USB interface to the Nexus 7.
You will need TWRP from here OR here.

After Unlock and Root with TWRP recovery, then use NRT to install the Net Hunter image. Go here.

For no good reason other than there was an option to do so, I copied the NRT Window Log below:

Lowering the 2011 Victory Cross Country Motorcycle

1. Buy lowering links from Witch Doctors
2. Buy a lowered kick stand.
3. Watch You Tube Video
4. Get your self a proper jack. Here is what I got from Harbor Freight.
5. Remember that once the suspension is lowered, you may not be able to pull the jack out, so an extra car tire jack might help create the necessary gap.
6. Probably a good idea to secure the front wheel by keeping the handle bar break lever closed, so the bike does not roll. See image below.
7. Also remember steel toed boots just in case, because you are messing with a 900 pound vehicle.
8. By myself, this took 6+ hours, much of it spent slowly struggling and pounding coffee.

Update to Root Lenovo Yoga Book

Please refer to the previous post.
I found it necessary to install a previous version of Linux Deploy. linuxdeploy-2.0.0-216.apk
Then I needed to visit Google Play and turn off automatic updates.
Go to Settings | Apps | Linux Deploy on the Yoga Book and grant permissions manually.
Use a Root Browser to copy the SU file from /magisk/.core/bin/su to /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su.
Lastly, in order to have VNC connect, I needed the password from Linux Deploy under properties, which is under the arrow down button in the upper right. See image below.
Best of Luck.

Root Lenovo Yoga Book YB1-X90F

One must first downgrade the Android OS to Nougat following the instructions here.
Be patient between steps as there is a slight lag between screen prompts.

After downgrading to Nougat through Intel Platform Flash Tool Lite., enable Developer Options by tapping Settings | About | Build Number until Developer options is confirmed.

Under Developer Options turn on OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging while turning off Automatic System Updates.

Connect Yoga Book to PC with ADB and Fastboot already installed and the environment variables set so that one can open a command line and issue ADB and Fastboot commands.

Open the Windows Command Prompt and type "adb devices".

If the Yoga Book is listed, then type "adb reboot-bootloader". If the Yoga Book is not listed, you must figure that out on your own.

Once the device is showing the boot loader, type in the command prompt "fastboot flashing unlock"

If that does not work, then you will likely have to use the adb and fastboot commands that are in the directory c:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools, so open a command line or power shell while in that directory.

After a successful unlock and reboot, you will encounter the set up process again. Complete the set up and enable Developer Options again with USB debugging.

Now you must download TWRP Recovery image to the same directory as Fastboot.

Download all the necessary root files from here aka MMRoot.

With the Yoga Book connected to the PC, copy the MMRoot files from the PC to the Downloads directory on the Yoga Book.

Open a Windows command line and type "adb reboot-bootloader", then "fastboot boot recovery_twrp.img".

Use the TWRP menu to Install 1-Magisk-v7.zip

Then Install 2-phh-superuser-magisk-r259.zip

Resurrect Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113

I discovered that a part time gal at work had no phone and no computer due to repairs. Since she is also a student at a local community college, I volunteered to give her my spare Android tablet. However, when I factory reset the Cyanogenmod build the tablet became stuck in the logo loop. Therefore, I needed to copy the following files to the tablet after connecting it to my Hewlet Packard laptop.

Android ROM

TWRP

Odin

Gapps

First install Odin on the PC. Second connect tablet to the PC and use ODIN to flash the TWRP image. Third, boot tablet into TWRP and copy the ROM and Gapps to the tablet. Fourth, use TWRP to install both files. Lastly Wipe/Dalvik and reboot.

Android: HttpURLConnection java.io.FileNotFoundException

This is a nasty little error that I was seeing in the Log Cat while debugging my Android app.
I was using
//letterStrings is an ArrayList() populated with 'aaa','bbb','ccc','ddd'
JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(letterStrings);
//jsonArray looks like this: ['aaa','bbb','ccc','ddd'];
sNotes = 'These are my notes';
URL url = null;
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = null;
String link = "http://somewebsite.com?&userID=3&jsonArray="+jsonArray+"¬es="+sNotes;
// The above looks like this when resolved: "http://somewebsite.com?&userID=3&jsonArray=['aaa','bbb','ccc','ddd']¬es=These are my notes";
url = new URL(link);
urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
Funny thing is that the resolved string link runs just fine from the browser address bar.
From within Android using HttpURLConnection, the link results in a FileNotFoundException.
Why? You ask.
Because I must make sure that the values for jsonArray and sNotes are properly formatted for the URLconnection.
Therefore, I must first do the following before I put together the string link.
String urlNotes = URLEncoder.encode(snotes, "UTF-8");
String urlJson = URLEncoder.encode(jsonArray.toString(), "UTF-8");
Now the String link = "http://somewebsite.com?&userID=3&jsonArray="+urlJson+"¬es="+urlNotes;
