Root on Nova Air C

Hi everyone! Over the past few days, I have been working on rooting the Nova Air C and I finally got it to work, so I figured I would write up a guide to help others.

Big big thanks to Renate for their patience and help and their awesome edl.exe utility!

Note: This guide assumes you have developer mode enabled and that you have adb installed.


Grabbing boot.img from your Nova Air C

1. Download a copy of Renate's EDL tool from here: http://www.temblast.com/edl.htm
2. Download the Qualcomm 662 Loader attached to this post. MD5: cd7a91985353e0a1a6d581b423e1325c
3. Rename the loader to q662.elf, place it in the same folder as edl.exe
4. Run this command to reboot your Nova Air C into EDL mode:
   Code:

   ---

   adb reboot edl

   ---

5. Run this command to grab the boot.img:
   Code:

   ---

   edl.exe /lq662.elf /r /pboot_b boot.img /t /v

   ---

6. You should now have a boot.img file in the same directory as edl.exe and q662.elf.

From here, the steps are the same as Cascade94's post here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...9&postcount=52 I copied them and put them below:

Hope this helps someone else, and thanks again Renate for your assistance!
