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...

Download Magisk 17.1

adb reboot-bootloader

adb push Magisk-v17.1.zip /tmp

fastboot boot recovery_twrp.img

From TWRP menu-Install|flash /tmp/Magist-v17.1.zip

Reboot

Download and install the recommended super user APK from here.

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

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.
