Custom recovery is slowly progressing mattlgroff and I am working to bring a working Clockworkmod Recovery to you guys as quick as possible.

Thanks Shimp I am matts tester. Tomsgt. are we suck without having the frame buffer? glad we go ADB working. I asked matt to make the recovery for me and he started on it and ran into the adb problem and the fact that there isnt any source for this device yet.

Awesome the more people helping the better team work always get's it done :highfive:. I was able to send him a build where I fixed adb and he was able to pull a log and we concluded it's a framebuffer issue we need a custom graphics.c (Which should be in kernel source) to likely fix. Fortunately the Nvidia Shield kernel source is also compatible with the Tegra Note 7 , which can hopefully be used to fix somethings.

Awesome and yeah the recovery log in paste bin is from me LOL Matt is helping me test it all since I am still a noob at developement :laugh: so good sign about the shield kernel and maybe we can get a working recovery after all.

How to get the OTA update zip(worked on my Advent vega nvidia 7" note(UK version))

Once the OTA update is downloaded, do not install.
It is placed in /sdcard/nvidia/app/ota/download/rom/
You will not see it via USB.
To get it, use adb command.
adb pull sdcard/nvidia/app/ota/download/rom

I yanked in the sources on the HP slate 8 pro this weekend.

They're up at http://h20392.www2.hp.com:80/openso...107&e=true&fam=Tablet+PCs&prd=HPSlate8Pro-OSP

(the Slate 8 shares quite a bit with the note 7, enough that gnouru's kernel will boot the 8.)

My device got stuck when I tried to revert from a newer to an older firmware release. I'm happy to be a guinea pig for a CWM with ADB access. I plinked around a little trying to get gnurou's kernel to talk to me over USB this weekend without success as of yet.

4.3

I guess we won't be getting any presents from Nvidia this Christmas. Wonder if they'll make it before the month ends. No word on whether it will be delayed or not.

I have rooted my tegra note using the method in first post, but I still don't have write access on /system. I remounted /system as rw. Remount appears to be correct but still can't copy any thing into /system. After reboot /system is mounted as ro again. By the way, I'm using ES File Explorer. Is there anyone who can help me? Thanks.

I wasn't even able to root it using the method in the OP. I don't get the four penguins and it just boots to the Tegra Note boot/splash screen. SUpersu gets installed but can't install/update the binaries. Also tried the manual method but it seems the file structure has changed in the new ROM.

The method still isn't fool-proof

YESSS!!! Thank you, this is just what we needed. Everybody go here ... to get your Tegra Notes rooted! And thank CampGereth for finding this.

This did not work on my Homecare Flyone Tegra note7. After issueing the "fastboot boot root_tn7.img" comand, it shows on the computer like it has worked but instead of going to the page with the four penguins on the note7, it just restarts and then gets stuck on the "TEGRA NOTE" page. infact, i'm still tinkering, hoping to find a way that works

Mine's the same version. Can't remember exactly what I did. It's in one of the earlier threads. Probably do a search on the model/version name. I think I flashed supersu but it asked me to update the binary but failed. What I did was to download the Superuser app from Google Play and it was able to root device.
