For driver :

- Add the following after [Google.NTx86] (or [Google.NTamd64] if 64 bits windows)

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01

2 now for the flashing
make sure you have the following

adb on your computer
recovery image(recovery.img found inside update.zip from folio mod
folio must be rooted(use superoneclick1.6.5 or over)
and last the app (root explorer)


lets start

step 1. instal root explorer on your folio
step 2. copy the recovery image from foliomod in your computer to a memory card
step 3.with your memory card inserted in your folio using root explorer copy the recovery.img to this directory like this /data/recovery.img note:if found another data folder inside past the recovery.img there aswell
step4. exit root explorer now in your computer type this in comand prom (cmd)

"adb shell" without quotes it should say demon started sucessefuly.and a $ sign should be there

now type this "cat /data/recovery.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" without quotes
if nothing happens it means it worket

now for the flashing do not factorise do it after instaling the mod your trying to install.

alternative way:If you get the permission denied error, type in: "su -" and on your tablet superuser should come up with a permission request. Allow this and you are really "root" as the # shows in the shell window.

note:if you found this guide usefull dont forget to press the thanks button

Maybe you can try via fastboot mode:

1. power on your folio
2. wait until the toshiba logo come out
3. then press three times the power on button and then volume up (+)
4. your folio will show a message saying is in fastboot mode
5. your pc should ask you for drivers
6. go to android-sdk folder an then in tools folder
7. from a command window type: "fastboot devices"
8. if you see something like "???????" displayed you're ready to flash
9. then issue: "fastboot erase recovery" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
10. DONE! type "fastboot reboot" and enjoy.

There are a lot of problems doing this procedure under windows (driver issues).
If it doesn't work for you, try to switch to mac or to linux (also a live cd is good).
You can get fastboot commands from this post.
Download the fastboot command for your os and try.
For those os no drivers are needed to use fastboot and it always works fine.

Good luck ;)

it depends: if your recovery.img is already in /data/ the answer is yes.

keep in mind that the cat command doesn't show anything if it works correctly.

before fanything you will need to enable the tegra drives do the following so your folio is recognised as and adb interface:
you dont need this if your folio is allredy recognised has a adb interface in device manager.

1) Install the Adb driver.
For driver :
- Download the android SDK
- Edit "<your-android-sdk-folder>/usb_driver/android_winusb.inf"
- Add the following after [Google.NTx86] (or [Google.NTamd64] if 64 bits windows)
Code:

;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01

sorry, but I do not have usb_driver folder. First time I am installing SDK so I guess there is something to do. I have a samsung Galaxy S and PC under Windows 7. I am using the galaxy as usb mass storage. What shall I do for the folio tab?
thanks

TS thanks for half of the steps ;). I got stuck at transferring /data/recovery.img to the tablet and kept getting "adb cannot run as root in production builds". Then I used Fastboot to erase and flash the recovery.img, like described above and in this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=915894 thread, that worked like a charm :).

I have tried rooting my folio for the last few days and I am stuck on the adb driver. When I plug my folio in it is only shown as "Toshiba storage usb device". If I uninstall the drivers and plug the folio back in it just shows up there again. If I try manually to update the drivers with the .inf file I get a "not compatible with 86bit error", I have followed the guides to this point with download of the sdk, update the google usb driver and changed the .inf file to

;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01

The funny thing though when I start the folio up in fastboot mode the folio shows up as an android adb device and I can change the driver to the .inf file. And when I try to run superOneClick the program stop responding at "waiting on device" both if the folio is plugged in as fastboot and normally.

I hope you can help me. I really want to try some of the cool roms out here ^^

I am on the latest update on my toshiba folio.

root explorer

I have the following problem,
My pc has installed drivers allready. I try to manually point him to my edited driver.
I get an error:

The specified directory does not contain a compatible driver for your device.
Check if the driver works with Windows for x64-based
computers if the folder contains a driver.

Does anybody have an answer to this?

Thansk in advance.

After i typ su - it indeed gets acces. But command prompt says somehow "No space left on device". While there is 12 GB free on the tablet.
Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

I had the same problem, tried another pc, this time with a 32 bit version of windows and this step worked for me.

Hope it will help you. Good luck

    if you did not use my methord u can always share how you did yours

    Yes !!

    I follow this one with a MIX of your post :

    (start at section BUT for some of you (including me) this will fail and you will see a text on the screen like booting recovery kernel image and the tablet freezes there. )

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=915894

    and with FASTBOOT, it works for me.

    "su" command must be issued on your PC in the CMD window

    just type "su" on your PC in CMD window without quotes and press enter

    then check - your tablet should display superuser reuqest window. you need to press "allow" button and proceed further using instrictions provided

    P.S. pls read whole instructrions several times before trying something out. Might sound stupid but that really works for me :)
