Looking for help with rooting a TomTom Bridge device.
This device has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 and runs a custom Android 6.0.1
Full specs: developer.tomtom.com/bridge/specifications

The device listens to some ADB commands, but for example doesn't boot into EDL when given the ADB command (there's only a powerbutton on the device, no physical volume buttons so no physical way to do this either unless a possible short on the device itself, there is no bootloader present on the device).
There's also nothing like TWRP on the device, nor any google and/or play services.
Pressing and holding the powerbutton (trough the restart) makes the device go into a custom recovery mode where you can install a TomTom/Webfleet rescue image from SDCard (which I do have, however all files are signed, so they can't be altered without throwing an error on installation).

Any idea's on how to proceed to root this device would be appreciated.

I have Miracle Box 2.82 + key on the computer.
Also 15 second ADB installed.
When connected trough USB, the device in shown in the device manager as Android, generic, not Qualcomm or anything specific.

doesn't sound like good odds but are you able to boot the device into fastboot boot? ie using the command "adb reboot bootloader"
this rescue image you have, can you extract the contents? attach a screenshot of it's contents

Fastboot is not working (tried that, as wel as EDL boot, also no joy).
Unpacked rescue image yields the following contents:

Opening the ttt folder contains the following (bit further down the file tree):

Opening the rescue.img in winrar you can extract the following files:

you'll need to boot to edl using TP on the board, look for an experienced phone hardware repair technician to help you disassemble the phone and look for the points you need to connect to in order to boot into edl mode
the rescue image doesn't contain a regular boot.img which means you must backup directly from your device and to attempt a backup, you must get to edl mode

Will see if I can find some online schematics of this device or if any of the others have messed about with it.
Thanks for the info so far Smile
