Rooting my Toshiba Thrive (AT-100)

Doing a general search on how to root my Thrive on the internet pointed me to a very useful site:

 http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/dalepl-development/9893-tool-dalenet-thrive-univeral-easy-flash-tool.html>

DaleNet Thrive Universal Easy Flash Tool - This is for all Thrive ROM builds.  

Recommend you read through the instructions that comes with this website (created by Paul Dale) very carefully. There is also a helpful video that comes with this site that explains the process step-by-step though it is a little dated in that the latest version of the flash tool no longer has unroot capabilities as the video suggests nor does it have a flash recovery option. This is mentioned in Dale's latest version notes. Also, the current version on the flash tool has more ROM builds than what the video shows.  I strognly recommend you back up all of your data files to a PC before attempting to root your device.  I should also mention I take no responsibility for the accuracy of the information presented or its completeness and you assume all the risks in attempting this process.
 

It is important that I mention that the flash tool did not work perfectly for me, so I had to do a little troubleshooting to get it to work. 

Because I did not know what went wrong I ended up modifying the batch file that came with flash tool to give me a little more visibility as to whether the batch file was working correctly- added a directory list and paused after each wait-for-device command so I could unlock my screen before proceeding.

I have included Dale's batch file in it's original form except where I added to the program (my additions are in purple):

After running the batch file, I tested my device and found out that indeed the Superuser app was loaded on my device and I could boot up ClockWorkMod.  My only problem was that the Superuser app and Titanium backup were both unable to root the device using system/xbin/su.  So I tried uninstalling Superuser from my device and reinstalled it back from Google play and this worked.  I am not sure why the superuser application that came from Dalenet did not work, but I was glad to found a fix to my problem.

Now to finish what I had started and that was to uninstall the original version of Quickoffice and reinstall Google's free version.  I went to my Android System app  [a free app I got off Google play], clicked on Apps on the top menu bar and selected the Quickoffice app and selected the Uninstall option.  However, it came back and reported that it was unable to uninstall this app.  Even with Superuser access I couldn't do what I had originally intended.

So I had to find another way.  The solution was to log into my Toshiba Thrive using the Adb interface that came with the files extracted from Dalenet.

I reconnected my Thrive to my PC using the USB cable.  I then went to the Start option in Windows and issued the commend: cmd.  Next, I changed directory (cd) to where my Adb.exe file was located and issued the commands: adb devices <enter>, adb remount [remounts the /system partition on the device read-write] <enter>,  adb shell <enter>

When you enter adb shell you will get back the pound symbol (#) as a prompt which indicates that you have root access.  You can also verity this by issuing the commands:

# Cd /system/xbin

# Su

# Id

[Should say uid is 0 which means I am rooted]

Now, change directory to /system

# cd /system  [this is where the Quickoffice app is located- you can verify this with a directory listing]

# chmod 6666 Quickoffice.apk   [This reestablishes read-write permission]

# rm Quickoffice.apk [remove Quickoffice.apk]

This should have removed quick office

so exit out of the shell by issuing the exit commend and then issue the exit command one more time to leave cmd.exe

Proceed to Google Play on your Thrive and load up Google's version of Quickoffice and it should install with no problems.

Mission Accomplished!

Uninstalling Quickoffice from my device

I was very excited to learn that the android Quickoffice application was bought by Google and that it was now a free app on Google Play.  So I thought no problem I will just uninstall Quickoffice from my Toshiba Thrive tablet (AT100) and reinstall Google’s version.  Well, I quickly figured out that this was not going to be easy.

First I went to manage applications and tried to uninstall it and there is no uninstall option- the only options are: Clear Data, Clear Cache, Clear Defaults, and Force Stop.  Not to be deterred, I cleared my data, defaults, and cache and proceeded to install Google version on Google Play.  Upon installing this new version, I received an error message- “Duplicate Provider Authority” so no luck with the new version overriding the old.

Looking on the internet, it seems that many people are having the same issue and the problem has do with Quickoffice being part of the original system software that comes preinstalled with the device (some people may not be aware of this having never accessed it before) and I didn’t have the necessary permission (read-only file) to delete it.

Somebody on the web (Juliannen), mentioned that installing the latest push should solve this issue for many users.

I decided on a more permanent solution and that was to gain root control of my device so I could have better control of my tablet including access to programs like Titanium backup.

In my next, blog I will talk about how I rooted my device (super user access) and ultimately loaded Google’s version of Quickoffice. 

Wonders of the World

Yosemite - Half Dome

Travel has always held a very special place in my life as I have loved going to new and exotic places with all of there mystery and wonder.  Visiting these places one feels a sense of awe for the people who built them and the Divine inspiration that prompted there construction or for the forces of nature that formed them.  There is a presence of something special that one can feel, if one takes the time to sense into the sacredness of these places, not that all places aren't sacred but that certain places this sacredness feels amped up.  Enjoy!
