Linux users need to do the linux equivalent tasks on a linux machine.\n\n## Preparing the tinker board for root:\n\n* Download [termux.apk](https://termux-api.apk.gold/android-6.0.1) and install it on the tinker board\n\n* Download [SuperSU V2.79.apk](https://supersuroot.org/download/) and install it on the tinker board\n\n* Enable developer options on the tinker board's android OS by selecting the about phone/tinker board in settings and clicking on the build number at the bottom repeatedly untill it tells you that you are a developer\n\n* Go into developer options inside settings and turn on USB debugging\n\n\n## Preparing the PC for rooting:\n\n* Download [android platform tools](https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools) for your operating system and extract it somewhere in your computer which can be easily accessed.\n\n* Download the [rootandroid.bat](https://github.com/MonkHelios/Root-access-on-Tinker-OS-android) file and paste it in \"android platform tools\" directory.\n\n* Download flashable Super SU zip file - [Recovery V2.79 Flashable.zip](https://supersuroot.org/download/) and extract it inside \"android platform tools\" directory, **not** within another directory.\n\n* Make sure that the tinker board and the PC are connected to the same network or preferably connected to each other via ethernet.\n\n## Rooting tinker board:\n\n`on certain systems you might have to use ./ before the powershell commands`\n\n* Open the \"android platform tools\" directory and right click while pressing L-shift.\n\n* Select \"open power shell window here\" (the option name might vary) or open CMD/Powershell and cd into the \"android platform tools\" directory.\n\n* Find the IP address of the tinker board by running \"ip a\" in termux on the android OS.\n```\nip a\n```\nor go into \"about phone\" and into \"status\", here you will find the IP addr also.\n\n* in the powershell run \n```\n\u003e adb connect 192.168.xxx.xxx:5555     (replace the tinke rboard IP address in place of the 'x')\n```\n```\n\u003e adb root\n```\n```\n\u003e adb connect 192.168.xxx.xxx:5555     (again)\n```\n```\n\u003e adb shell\n```\n\n* Now you will get a root shell of the android system, in the root shell run\n```\n# mount -o remount,rw /system\n```\n```\n# exit\n```\n\n* Now you have to run the rootandroid.bat file\n```\n\u003e rootandroid.bat\n```\n\n* Open the SuperSU app on the android and update the binary\n\n* After the reboot rooting is successfully done\n\n* Now you can open termux in android and get root shell by typing \"su\" or \"tsu\"\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmonkhelios%2Froot-access-on-tinker-os-android","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmonkhelios%2Froot-access-on-tinker-os-android","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmonkhelios%2Froot-access-on-tinker-os-android/lists"}
