Anybody have one of these? I recently got my hand on one, and the estation c1650 printer also, and wondering if there is anybody else with on, would like root, and or wipe the device and get ride of the stupid hp touchsmart UI. it would be a dream to run a galaxy tab rom or something. I though i saw a galaxy tab floating around? a system dump maybe? But any help would be appreciated.
HP Zeen
OK, I managed to use the latest Android (2.3) SDK usb drivers to get the windows to recognize the device. I could copy files to/from the SD card.
USB\VID_03F0&PID_9F11&REV_0223&MI_01
USB\VID_03F0&PID_9F11&MI_01
To get it to work, I had to edit the inf file at location:
"[SDK PATH]\google-usb_driver\android_winusb.inf" and add the following information:
;FOR ZEEN
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_03F0&PID_9F11&REV_0223&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_03F0&PID_9F11&MI_01
ADB currently will not recognize the device. I'm not sure what's messed up. Calling HP now to see about proper USB drivers.
Zeen
OK, HP says the USB drivers for the zeen come with the printer and even though I plugged in the first time it didn't work, the second time it did and Win 7 recognized it as a HP zeen. Ran the disk install in between.
That said ADB still has no idea. Fresh eclipse SDK install. Any thoughts on how to get ADB to recognize it?
Let's keep this thread alive. I got the drivers installed with your help. Can't get adb to see mine either. There has to be something we are missing. I think this device is similar to the pandigital novel so I have been reading over there. I will keep working.
Apparently, some firmwares seem to disable "adb" service...
Nice to hear someone else is out there trying. I found the following in a different post about the galaxy s, tried it with the Z4root, and while the command seems to take, it didn't work to get ADB. I tried it on a couple of different machines, let me know if it works for you. Also, when I called HP about the drivers they (at least the support techs) didn't know squat about android. Not helpful.
"Apparently, some firmwares seem to disable "adb" service on the Galaxy S.
So in case you run into this problem (adb unable to see the device) what you will need is to modify /default.prop on the SGS.
Here is what I had originally:
Code:
#
# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES
#
ro.secure=1
ro.debuggable=0
persist.service.adb.enable=0
To enable ADB on SGS
1. Run on the device: setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1 to temporarily switch it on.
2. pull /default.props with adb and modify the "ro.secure=0" and "persist.service.adb.enable=1"
2. mount -o remount,rw rootfs /
3. push modified default.props back to /
In more detail:
1. Root your device (see FAQ sticky post)
2. Install shell emulator on the device
3. In shell emulator, enable ADB (not sure if you need to run "su" before that):
setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1
4. Now, you should be able to connect to the device with ADB (temporarily). If not, make sure your udev rules (for Linux: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules) are smth like:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb|usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
5. To make the change permanent:
adb pull /default.props .
(this will copy default props to local directory)
6. Modify the two properties as follows:
ro.secure=0
persist.service.adb.enable=1
7. Re-mount the root filesystem on the device in read-write mode (requires "su" before that):
mount -o remount,rw rootfs /
8. Now overwrite the /default.props on the device with modified one:
adb push default.props /default.props"
Okay, z4root did give me root access. I installed root explorer and terminal emulator. I am trying to find adb wireless so I can see if we can adb into the device using that. I think if I can i can install the market on the zeen
RootExplorer
Got a link to the RootExplorer APK? When temporarily rooted, I tried to install the market APK and got the finger. Did you perma-root or just do temporary?
I don't know anything about wireless ADB. What's the story with that? (admittedly, I'm a developer but getting up to speed on hacking the thing open).
I dont think I am aloud to post the root explorer apk. Wireless adb is just supposed to let you use adb without plugging anything in. Unfortunately, it says my device isnt rooted when trying to run it. Im gonna keep playing around with it.
Hey can you try to run adb over wifi. Just hook up your zeen to wifi and your pc and run adb like normal, but when you first run it type "adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx:5554
replace xxx with your zeen ip address. See if it lets you connect like that.
all the zeen but the adb drivers are in the zeen itself your just useing and uncapatable cable so it wont install usb driver and masstorage ones with out the proper cable, the adb drivers you will only get when useing sdk tool and has to be in debuging mode and pluse it has to have the correct cords like useing a samsung usb with a motorolla usb and sry i faild english and hate typeing so to lazy to do spell check like any one else will u get my giff the adb driver will install same time sdk will just its kinda tricky getting access to them and makething them work, a good way to test is plug in your w.e droid and go to your cpu cmd window, and type adb shell if it finds you droid then your golden but if not then bad cable or not in debuggin mode and have to have sdk installed and packages installed that come with it....
untile you can take the h p block of the android makret it wil never install or wont install properly more or less a complete rom will come out in like 3-5 months with the market on it and idk if the printing app will still be there but trust me you wont get it but there are 3 other alterative markets out there and 4shared.com has not let no one down............
if you want the android market on the hp tablet for the zeen or any other tablet that people are haveing a problem get anything and don't like yam or black market or any of that b.s g0od t0 4shared.kom and download a apk file with the name applanet and you should install the version 2.7.3 and i tried all the other version some will install and some wont but so far this one install and has 92 percent of the real adroid market and looks just like the market i found everything from root explorer to romanger and every app i seen in my droid i found on there and updates trust me if you want a g0od makret, well i just gave you the answer, n0w s0me one make 2.2 work on this thing, i have one to donate, [email protected] for some work to be done
Thanks for the tip on the Android Market! I installed it on mine and it works
How did you install market?

Ok I think im going crazy, I cant find anything about this.
Im trying to access my tab via ADB in OSX. My Evo works just fine, but I just cant find the gtablet. I see in Windows driver's ini has to be modded to include tegra device ID and vendor ID, but I dont see anything for osx and my device is not getting recognized!
Thanks for your help!

Ok so after some time, I just found the solution, I dont know why I need it, and some people didnt but anyway, for whoever is having the same problem as I did, this is the solution!
This steps are assuming you have ADB ready and installed!
First, open terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
Run the command:
Code:
android update adb
Then you will get a adb_usb.ini file in your $HOME/.android directory. Open that file and you will have the following..
Code:
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
Add in the 4rth line the following (Device vendor code, this case NVIDIA 0x0955):
Code:
0x0955
Save the file and exit.
On terminal window type
Code:
adb kill-server
and then
Code:
adb start-server
Adb devices should now show up your device!, if by any reason you get "device offline" a re-plug fixed it!
thanks!
damn! bumping this thread, really nothing? I just want to know if anyone can ADB with osx??? Its just me? or what?! thanks
Works fine for me.
OSX is the only OS I've used (so far) to connect to my G-Tablet via ADB.
Make sure USB Debugging is on on the 'pad, and it's Plug and Play. No udev stuff like on Linux, no USB driver issues like on Winhose.
I have had troubles in the past connecting through USB hubs. I'm currently using the front connectors on a Mac Pro.
Just another trivia note on the subject:
adb remount
Works for me on ZPad, it does not on TnT Lite.
I have a hackintosh netbook, but I don't really use it in this space. Nor Windows. Sorry about that.

Hello, i just got my new samsung 7 plus with honeycome 3.2 and im loving it
I want to know what is the step by step instruction to rooting my device using adb?
the root.zip i found on here dont work for me. when i save the file to /sdcard and n reboot n go into wher i applie the zip from sdcard it shows no files at all on my card. i bought the 16gb version of this tab so i dont have the externel sdcard. i thought that i read one the forum you can only use the externel card not the interel. i believe they added the folder /sdcard to the internel drive and thats why it not viewing.
The rooting instructions say to put it on an "external" sdcard for a reason as recovery will not recognize the internal storage. Do you have adb installed on your computer and at least know how to use it? If not it is going to be way easier for you to just go and spend the $10 for an 8 GB sdcard and install it that way.
I can at least get you part way, installing the sdk and jdk. Here are the instructions for installing the android sdk (adb) direct from google. You also need the java jdk installed on your commputer and google has a link in their instructions.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
You first need the proper usb drivers installed and not exactly sure on how to do that. I already had the android usb drivers installed on my computer for my phone and I just let the compter install whatever else it needed the first time I connected my tab to it.
You will need usb debugging turned in your settings and then power the tab off. You would then plug the usb cable into the tab and computer then boot it into recovery. Once into recovery Mount/System. You then run adb in a command window and change the drive to the platform-tools directory where adb resides. It would look something like this in a command window (c:\android-sdk-windows\ is how I set my computer up yours may be different):
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
To check and see if your device is recognized by adb run the command:
adb devices
If nothing is listed then adb isn't recognizing the device and you would need to troubleshoot your installation or boot method.
As far as installing the root.zip file I'm not sure as I've never had to do that before as I've always had an external sdcard on my devices. Maybe someone else can take you thru the last step. I believe all you would do is push the file inside the zip folder over to the tab. The su file inside the root.zip folder needs to be in the same directory as adb, platform-tools directory.
adb push su /system/bin
I'm not sure if you need to change permissions on this file or not and that is done thru a chmod command in adb shell but not sure of the proper code to use for the GTab to do this. For my phone setting permissions looks like this:
adb shell
cd /system/bin
chmod 0644 Su
exit
Do not use this chmod as I'm not sure it will work on the GTab or what it will do to it, it just an example.
In summary these are the basic steps you are trying to accomplish:
1. Install Java JDK
2. Install Android SDK
3. Install USB drivers
4. Turn USB debugging on in Tabs settings
5. Boot Tab into recovery while connected to PC
6. Mount/System in recovery
7. ADB push su file to system/bin
8. Set permissions of su???
9. Exit adb
10. Reboot phone and install superuser and busy box from market
Thanks im rooted now. I took the sdcard out of my droidx & it works on my galaxy tab & i used the root.zip file.

Yes any sdcard will do and that is the easiest way. Though I think everyone should learn how to use adb anyways as it is useful especially if you get into modding.
Yes i do want to learn how to use adb. My desire is to become a developer.

Just follow the link I provided previously to the android developers site and follow the instructions. You will first have to have Java JDK installed and a link to that is provided on the android developers website in the link. Once JDK is installed download and install the SDK. It will only put the basic functions onto your computer and you will have to install the rest through SDK Manager, this can take a while, up to an hour or so depending on what packages you want to install. At the minimum you would want the Android 3.2 API (GTab 7+ uses this) and the Google USB drivers and then any other API's for phones you may have. I myself installed all the API's as my first phone had Donut (Android 1.6).
I know this may be a stupid question but why root? what special features does it give you? I am not sure If I want to or not.

There's a difference between "flashing a ROM" and "adding root access".
A custom ROM implies someone has taken the stock software infrastructure, altered/tailored/customized it, and packaged it for others to easily use.
"Rooting" a device just simply gives you access to certain folders, permissions, files, etc.
It's like giving yourself Admin Rights to your work computer (assuming you're over 18 and/or working).
It allows you to do things that the manufacture probably didn't want you to do - like delete "bloatware" (unwanted apps).

HI. i am opening these post for people like me that the have the same chineese pad and they cant root it.
I have try to root it with any method but with no succed.
(adb command, z4root, universal root, gingerbreak,oneclick)
at oneclick and adb tablet no recognized as usb. the first thing that i do, is to change the usb drivers with the usb googles drivers.Than oneclick it found it as rooted!but when i press to root it again i had many errors.
i upload a image with device info that i grap form adb
i am start to thinking that they put some protect that we cant have access at the rom. i use root explore r/o its highlight.its give mt the permissionto delete apk from system./app but later i can find them inside. at the info of taach u can see that device is rooted!
anyway. i found a firmware update but i havent test it yet
same issue here

Hi my mate. i have found 2 updates i have test one only and i succed to update it.
these is from another forum:
<<ok new download link for firmware update http://www.multiupload.com/5DI5AAL5BQ
i have found a issue with it when you go into android market because this as the latest android market apk it will let you download games etc free and paid but on some it comes up not enough memory,but i noticed by going into settings and clearing google framework and shutting down tablet a few times it allowed me to download a lot more i have put a earlier android market apk on which works perfect,but when i shut down tablet it goes back to newest android market apk?so if you know of a way to delete the android market apk on the tablet let me know?
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
please note before you start you must have your tablet charging with tablet charger otherwise it will not let you put firmware on tablet
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
the way of flash the firmware of v10
sd-card into tablet while turned off
1,press the "menu"+""power"ON button at the same time
2.release the “power” after the boot up.and keep holding menu
3.pls release the "menu" after the there is a flash firmware picture with a android holding a brown bag/box
4. then you will have to do some scrolling with these buttons
5 function of the button front of the device is page up
6 function of the button of "meun" is page down
7 function of the button of "Home" is confirmation (to install firmware)
you will have to scroll to install from sd-card then press home button
you will have to scroll to your firmware them press home button to install
if you ever need to reflash or restart your tablet for any reason you can do this by holding the the on button and menu?which will allow you to reload firmware etc >>

You can try this method to root, it is for another similar vimicro device:
Q: How to root the Haipad M8?
A: You need the GingerBreak and some manual work.
You need to have an installed Android SDK with adb.exe or take this archive with adb.exe only. And you need to have a modified USB driver.
Connect the Haipad M8 to the PC (USB OTG). You will have to install modified USB driver if it is needed.
"USB debugging mode" must be enabled in the device.
Run the cmd.exe and go to a directory where the adb.exe is located (for example: cd d:\adb)
Run command:
Code:
adb root
adb shell
must be # in the prompt (root mode)
Code:
cd /bin
check a symlink su
Code:
ls -l --color=never su
"su -> busybox" is not right. Delete the symlink su
Code:
rm ./su
Install the Gingerbreak and root device.
Install the RootCheker and check the root.

I have never rooted an android device before and this is my first time. The reason I'm rooting is so I can enable the Virtuous Prime ROM (the guide for Virtuous Prime suggested to use ViperMOD to root first)
[ROOT] [TOOL][Updated 2.22.12]viperMOD PrimeTime v4.5 | Auto Root/Unroot/Busybox/CMW - xda-developers
^I'm following the instructions from the link above word for word. So far I've met the following Criteria:
-Enabled USB Debugging
-Running build 9.4.2.15
-Have "ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface" drivers installed and updated
I downloaded the ViperMOD 4.5 zip and extracted it to my PC. I opened the folder and right clicked on "viperMOD Primer Tool v4.5 - copy.bat". A cmd popped up with several different options; I pressed 1 to root, and pressed enter to skip the following two prompts (that ask if USB debugging is enabled and asus usb drivers are installed).
The CMD then showed the following message:
*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*
*daemon started successfully*
However the CMD just stopped there. It didn't show the following flood of text that should show up when rooting w/ ViperMod (like shown in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3OQkxmUyLc at 2:35)
I'm not sure if I'm missing something here. The guide however did say that I needed to "Kill Asus Sync and Splashtop" though I'm not exactly sure what it means by "kill". I don't have Splashtop running on my Prime nor Splashtop remote running on my PC. I also don't have ASUS Sync software installed on my PC and I disabled Auto-Sync on my Prime (HOWEVER, the ASUS Sync icon is still visible in my Prime's notification bar when I connect it via USB to my PC).
Any advice?
I had a similar problem
I tried to use superoneclick to root my Samsung Gravity and it hung on waiting for phone. I used the adb commands to load the zergRush exploit. So you need to find which exploit works on your phone, adb push the exploit, busybox, and su to your phone and use adb shell to do the root.
** DISCLAIMER: I'm pulling this command sequence out of my memory... you should find a better guide but this stuff may give you clues as to what to google for, or if you're familiar with shell you may see the gist of what you're trying to do **
The commands will look something like this:
adb push exploitfilename
adb push busybox.apk
adb push su
adb shell
chmod 755 exploitfilename
./exploitfilename
(wait for the exploit to finish)
pm install busybox.apk
pm install su.apk
reboot
Once it rebooted, I installed terminal through the market so I could do cool stuf like so:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/whateverdevhasyoursystemfolder /system
rm /system/app/Vendorgarbagebloatapp.apk
and so forth. Knowledge of linux and shell commands is your friend here for sure. Basically, you should know what you're doing or don't do it. I'm no fan of one-clicks for anything like this, it's too hard to figure out what went wrong if it goes wrong, plus this way you can learn new skills.

My computer is running the window 8 developers copy( no i'm not a dev just love testing new things before most other people.)
I've tried running it as an admin and in compatibility mode but have had no success as of yet any help would be greatly appreciated.

U should tried on another comp with windows seven imo
I would if i had one but my laptop got stolen so my only computer besides my desktop is my transformer, Are their any .bat files out their that i can use to run it from? I found out that its a problem with windows 8 not allowing .exe files to open command prompts, but if its a .bat file it will run.
Hi everyone, I've been doing a good bit of googling and found nothing yet, so if this has been asked before I'm very sorry but I haven't yet seen anyone on the forum with the exact same issue. I actually updated to JB OTA when I first got the device in Canada (US version), when I got back to the UK I decided to root, but then found out that you can't on JB, luckily I managed to downgrade to ICS V9.4.5.30 downloaded from the ASUS website! I was not able to downgrade to an earlier version however, stock recovery wouldn't allow it so NVFLASH root method is out the window... Now I would prefer not to unlock my bootloader for now.
When running debugfs.bin 1 click root method, on my desktop (not run as admin) it says:
Waiting for device to be detected...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
*daemon started successfully *
'find" is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Less than half a second later it just closes down.
When run as admin, it does the same thing and instead of closing down it goes back to the first screen where you can select what method you want to use.
On my netbook it runs and just stops at daemon started successfully, the tablet has no response and debugfs just stays on that screen till I close it down.
Both my computers have all the correct drivers and the latest version of debugfs running, both are windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Please help me as my Infinity is just sitting around doing nothing as when I downgraded to ICS all 190 apps I installed were wiped too, and obviously there's no point me reinstalling any apps till I get this bad boy rooted...
Many thanks in advance!
Make sure you're connecting to a USB 2.0 port, not 3.0, on your computer.
Try not to use any intervening USB hub.
Try to make sure that you're using the back ports on a desktop machine as sometimes the front ports and be a bit sketchy.
Reboot both tablet and computer before starting, and as always, make sure the tablet has USB debugging enabled.
only my netbook has usb 3.0 and I used the 2.0 port, I will now try the back ports of my desktop, I didn't use any extensions or usb hubs, I have debugging and unknown sources checked. I have tried the restarting already, which I'll do right now again... thanks though..
Code:
@adb kill-server
@adb wait-for-device
@adb shell mount | find " /system" | call RootDebugfs.bat x
That is where you're system is tripping up. For some odd reason when it runs that part of the script, it trips up.
It's not a device not found error, b/c it would 1) say that, and 2) never make it to that last line, just hang at the previous line. Yet when I connect my Infinity it works perfectly fine on mine. For some reason the command "find /system" is not working correctly on your system after performing the shell mount command.
Do you have the Android SDK installed on your system?
Android SDK and Java DK were not installed, just installed them still exactly the same issue, haven't rebooted since installing them though
Is there a way I could use Linux to root, as I do have Linux Mint running?

I dunno why it is not working then. What you're doing is exactly what I did *successfully* to root my Infinity and then take the JB upgrade ans restore root.
I have another file called Infnity Root that you can try: check your PMs for the link

Thanks so much anyway! I've already tried that file, it's exactly the same
Yeah, it looked very similar, but it included more things in the actual Download like the drivers.
Not sure why it is not working - can you run those three commands in a command prompt window and see what you get?
well they say 3's a magic number, computer number 3 worked! For some reason something on my desktop and netbook was causing the root to fail, now I'm updating to jb ota... Thanks for the quick responses otherwise I would have assumed the problem was with the tablet and not my machines...
Glad you got it working. Quite possibly an antivirus program, firewall, or other such problem.
