I have packaged up the full stock Hudl ROM (20130923.020558) into a package for flashing with the RKTools windows utility. MoDaCo member CaptainMidnight has also repackaged the newer version (20131016.200812) for your downloading please! :)

These should be useful if you want to return your device to stock state. I've flashed my device fine - you use this at your own risk of course.

  • Image download (20130923.020558) - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid)- MD5: 530c3b6c69155e7ea0f2d1c6b995f845
  • Image download (20131016.200812) - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid)- MD5: f694ce21056260db8ae0e5cc9f1a4431

To use, extract the tools and image zips, connect your device, press the reset pin while holding volume up and install drivers if prompted. Click the '...' button to load the image. Box 1 should be green as shown below, when it is, hit 'Restore' to flash your device.

Tesco Hudl 1 stuck at Android System Recovery

tried sorry if this has been covered / answered already elsewhere.  I have searched in google and couldn't get any solutions.

My daughter's Hudl 1 had been playing up, not charging properly.  We'd already had the USB charging port replaced successfully over a year ago.

catches up, and lots of things flash on and off / open on the screen.

Since it shut down, all I can get back is the 

 

Android system recovery <3e>

screen with the 7 menu options, and at the bottom it says 

 

"Recovery System v4.2.41"

 

 

I've got windows 10 on my laptop now, and had previously installed ADB software to back up another samsung tablet, but i don't think it's working properly in windows 10.

I've searched through and found some advice on getting adb drivers onto windows 10, but I seem to be stuck with the official microsoft ones, even when turning driver signing off.

 

I was hoping to recover it either by installing / recovering from an image on the external SD card, or from something like the clockworkmod root process etc.

 

I'm not sure what to do as even some images I've downloaded from other posts, dont seem to be recognised by the "apply update from ADB", apply update from external storage, apply update from cache etc.

I've tried these drivers:

Hudl 1.3.1 Update

Hudl Update installed with no problem and did not affect rooting.  Only change that is obvious is 'Reset Touch Screen' option under 'Settings - Display'.

 

Cannot tell if it has cured the non-responsive screen problem as I never had this. However, the touch screen is much more sensitive to the slightest touch and I have had a number of unintended operations occurring.  I am used to making a firm contact but now any fleeting touch registers to the extent that it may be too sensitive.

 

Still Android 4.2.2 but kernel 3.0.36+ dated 24 Apr 2014, build JDQ39.20140424.153851.

Hudl 1 Appears to be charging but it isn't. Please help!

Hello

i do apologise if this problem has already been raised but I couldn't find any info.

My previously well behaved Hudl 1 began charging sporadically and then stopped charging altogether. I first replaced the charging port but no joy. Then I bought a new battery, installed it and was so pleased to see my Hudl spring into life immediately as it already had a partial charge.

i plugged it in, saw the charging symbol appear and left it charging while I went to work. Arrived home eight hours later to find that, not only had it not charged but the partial charge of 28% had almost gone too! I'd even turned wifi off to help it charge faster.

I realised that the charging symbol was on whether it is plugged in or not. I've reseated everything again and made sure all connections are in place but nothing works.

The welcome to android screen comes on when I hit the power button but then it switches to the animation of the battery charging. This happens whether it's plugged in or not.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thank you!

Suzie

ClockworkMod Recovery (v6.0.3.1) for rkflashtool, built by hal2710

October 31, 2013, 2:00 pm

Hi guys,

Sorry for the delay, as promised here is the CWM recovery.img as built by hal2710 and shared in his rooted rom image (here / here). All credit to him for building it, ps. he says:

Please note that because of the way the internal memory is allocated in the Hudl, the internal sdcard is not accesible from CWM.

I am currently building a custom install script that should work around this.

I successfully flashed this image to my Hudl using rkflashtool, the same tool used in Paul's rooting instructions. If you successfully used that rooting method and therefore have rkflashtool working, then this should work for you. I'll leave finding alternative methods to people cleverer than me :)

* This is all at your own risk, any flashing mistakes should be reversible using the available images and tools but I'm not responsible if something worse happens*

So,

1) Download the zipped recovery.img here

Edit: thanks glossywhite:

Here's a faster, fuss-free mirror (dropbox) *plus* I've included the original, stock "recovery" image... just in case some poor soul forgets to back it up

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1wvjwffzvbet6yo/CWM-6.0.3.1-image-hudl-with-stock-recovery-backup-image.zip?dl=1

2) Unzip recovery.img into the same location as the files from Paul's root method (so recovery.img is in the same directory/folder as rkflashtool)

3) Open a command line to the above location, and as per Paul's instructions

plug the hudl in via USB and press the reset pin while holding volume up (the device will appear to stay off)

4) Enter:

./rkflashtool r 0x00010000 0x00010000 > recovery.original.img
./rkflashtool w 0x00010000 0x00010000 < recovery.img
./rkflashtool b
5) Turn it on.

You know CWM, you get to it by holding Power + Volume Up when the Hudl is off (but not when it's in charging mode as it should be after you enter those commands, so you might have to boot up then power down), or a rebooter app, or using the extended power menu if you've pimped your rom.

Let me know if I've forgotten anything.

Credit to hal2710, Paul, and everyone behind the various softwares.

Tesco official 1.3.1 firmware & CWM, do they work??

Hi All,

I doubt anyone visits or looks at this forum anymore?  If those of you who are still around, and remember the old days....

Is it possible using the last (AND ONLY) update that came from Tesco, to update the Hudl (1st gen) to firmware 1.3.1 STOCK, and then flash ClockWorkMod to it...??

I've been trying for days/weeks now, with no success... Has anyone here managed to flash ONLY the CWM recovery image to their Hudl on the last official stock firmware? I'm begining to wonder if Tesco (or the original OEM) has blocked access to flashing this in that firmware.

Biggest issue is getting the Tablet to work in Windows... The driver will not install, or recognise as either ADB or Fastboot...

I've tried:

Windows XP x86
Windows 7 x64
Windows 10 x64
and not sure if it was Hudl, or dads Tablet (Lenovo) as to whether tried it in
Linux x64 too...

Tried using RKFlashtools & Fastboot....

Any idea's guys...??

The Tablet is already rooted, and has USB Debugging enabled.

Cheers, Lister

Can I sideload the stock Hudl rom pinned on this forum?

I have a Hudl that I decided to factory reset in the hope of getting it back to its original configuration, and then to reinstall everything. But it's now continually trying to download Hudl updates, making it useless since the server providing the updates probably doesn't exist anymore.

The obvious solution left is to send a file to it via "adb sideload hudl.20131016.200812.stock.rktools" command in the abd command shell for Windows. Is this how the file is meant to be used and will it work?

Thanks in advance

Stock Hudl Roms don't appear to work for Hudl in update loop

I have a Hudl which I factory resetted, and is now in a permanent loop waiting for Hudl updates from a non-existent server to download from.

I managed to flash it with both stock roms on the main page, only to find that in both cases the screen has the "powered by Android" permanently displayed, rather than displaying the "Hudl" logo a few seconds after. Thankfully, I managed to flash it back to the Hudl update loop using the system.backup.img so it's clear there isn't anything wrong with the flashing procedure. Any ideas on why it's not working for me?

Thanks in advance,

Help with Tesco Hudl1 restoration images

Hi All,

I have bought my children Hudl a few years back that has now be gathering dust due to a virus which affected the device. The virus manifest itself in showing all kind of indecent adverts and does not allow the user to gain control of the device. 

I tried the factory reset process but that didn't help so for the past few year I simply put them away as I could not afford my 8 and 10 year seeing these images. I recently bought myself a book with came with an epub version so I am now looking for a way of restoring these 3 tablets so I can use them for at least reading as the devices are physically and electronically in very good condition.

I tried downloading the images found here  but the URL no longer works. Over the weekend I came across rkflashtool which I was able to use for interrogating the hudl through Ubuntu 16.04 terminal. Using this interface I was able to read the various partition such as the "kernel, boot, system" etc.

I was also able to mount the "system" partition on to my my machine " see below.

 I was wondering if someone has hudl restore images that they can share so I can use to flash my devices back to its original state. I don't mind whatever solution is available Window 7 or Linux. A brief description on how to reprogram the device would be most highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
