As of this time, we do not have a way to restore to stock rom. We are waiting for the rom to be reuploaded somewhere. If you have it, please get with me.
Click here and download the three files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27647443&postcount=441
Unzip and place those three files on your sd card that goes in your zeen.
Power off the zeen.
Insert the sd card.
Hold the two volume buttons, then press and hold the power button and wait for the flash to complete.
It will say to remove sd card and press any key. Do so.
Once powered up, your should have a semi aosp build of....I think it's 2.2, correct me if wrong.
just ordered one from hp using purchaseedge points. free tablet=good. should be here this week. cant wait to start playing around with it. i cant imagine hp spent a ton trying to secure the hardware from hackers, since it is only a $400 device. hopefully this will gain more interest now that the samsung tab isnt living to the hype

I don't really think this things is gonna get much further. I wish it would, but of all the people on here only like 6 have it.
i just bought one yesterday ($299 @ bb w/ staples pricematch). haven't had a chance to do much with it yet, but i'll play with it this weekend. btw, i'm in KC too.
i have one also one issue though i dont have the printer for the setup is there a workaround for this? >_<
Don't need printer to setup
you shouldn't need a printer to set up just ZEEN. I know it forces you to dock ZEEN to printer, in that case, pull the menu down from the top, manually go into settings. Let me see if I can come up with documentation. I just did it and its working fine.
jlechner,
do you remember which version of Z4root u used?
Come on people... Lets root this thing...

I have had my Zeen for two weeks now. One thing that has been very helpful is taking all the apk. files I like on EVO and putting them on the Zeen sd card. Most are working great!
I would like to know Z4 root that was used also.

No, but after you asked that I remember when I used the latest one, it kinda messes up. It puts it in some kind of test mode, and upon almost any reboot wipes everything.
z4root v1.3.0 gives me temporary "partial" root. Superuser works for some root apps like Root Explorer and AutoStart, but Titanium Backup and AutoStart do not see root.
Still unable to use RomManager because the device is still NAND locked.

Has this gone anywhere? I just picked up a printer and got the pretty nifty tablet with it... or is that I picked up an HP Zeen tablet and got a pretty functional printer with it... Either way NIFTY COMBO!!
I have a rooted Nexus One and Motorola Backflip as well as a jailbroken iPhone 4, 3GS, and 3G.
This thing has to have a loophole somewhere. If we could get it running Android 2.2 and drop that horrific Yahoo interface we might be getting somewhere.
HP Zeen
I am having the same issues with the Z4root. Some things work and some thing don't recognize the root.
The one thing I love about the tablet is the battery life. I installed everything that was on my IPOD, and plug it into any amp--hours of music, and it is great for watching movies.
It is like getting free tablet with a great printer. No monthly payment!!!
Holding both volume buttons at boot will ask to erase the user data. But that's all I've found so far.
Has anyone been able to use Dolphin HD browser on this? Amazon has the Printer for $296 with free shipping. Now the price point is where it should be. Could someone list the known working apps for this tablet? Thanks.
Edit: I found it for $259.99 from Adorama with free shipping.
td1320, i have been using Dolphin Browser HD on the Zeen for about a month and a half now, it works great.
Zeen root
Which rooted apps have you been able to put in??
Do you guys recommend this printer? I have seen some bad reviews.

The printer is pretty good to me. It's fast and responsive. On another note, I tried installing the marketplace on this tablet and it keeps coming back it couldn't be installed. I wonder why... Astro File Manager works!

Hi, I got one of these at a junksale today minus the printer or anything to charge it.
I have made up a charger with correct voltage & amps and fitted a suitable plug. It charges.
I am still to get past the setup screen much help would be appreciated in knowing how you do this - if at all possible.
One thing I have been able to do is when battery warning comes on access the dashboard and connect it to my wireless network. I am looking though the settings now to see if this setup process can be overridden in there by perhaps deleting something or killing a service.
I have an IP address of it sat on my network, could you SSH into it I wonder?
Ideally I could do with taking it into a store and just plugging it into one on the shelf on display. But that would be a bit cheeky.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Andrew

I picked my Zeen up from a local classified site for $50 because the kid couldnt get it past the printer setup. I'm assuming it was probably stolen the more I think of it, since if it was purchased with the printer it would be setup already... but I bought it from someone who claimed to be the original owner so i cant do much more about it.
On The Way home I had a brilliant idea.
I stopped at staples, took my zeen in and docked it on their printer for 30 seconds and it finished the setup... Pretty easy...
However, I have since reset the device and foun an easier way.
YOU MUST HAVE A POWER/DATA Mini-USB CABLE FOR THIS!
it can not be just a power cable, it has to have DATA capabilities.
(I Used A MacBook For This But It Should Work For A PC)
-Plug in your USB cable to the computer
-Plug In your Zeen AC Adapter (YOU MUST HAVE AN AC ADAPTER AND MINI USB)
-then boot your zeen to the setup menu
-plug in the mini usb to your zeen and hopefully it gives you the option to continue setup. (If it doesnt give it about 60 seconds)
-If it doesnt work unplug the mini-usb and plug it back in
I have reset twice now and this has worked for me.
-If it doesn't show up unplug the mini-usb and then plug it back in.
I have reset twice now, the first time i had to unplug it a few times but the 2nd reset it took it the first time.
I was going to mod my new (purchased Thursday) G Tablet today but something in me said to make sure all the hardware works first. So I plugged in a San Disk Cruzer 4Gig USB stick and the G Tablet will not recognize it. I called tech support and they had me reboot with it installed, reformatted it to FAT32 (which it already was) but still no go. So I returned the tablet for another. Same problem!. This USB stick works in my Windows 7 laptop just fine. And my microsd works fine in the G Tablet, BTW.
Is this tablet finicky with the brand of USB sticks or something? Or do I have incredile bad luck to have two tablets with the same problem?
Needless to say, the mod is being put off until I (someone on this forum hopefully) can figure this out
Thanks for any ideas/input!

Heres the silly question......
Did you open a file manger, navigate to root "/" and look for "usbdisk"?
Um OK. I feel kinda stupid...
I thought it would pop up as a notification when plugged in. Never looked in the file manager. and there it is!
If I had only taken the time to read the PDf manual I downloaded yesterday. It clearly states the process to read and transfer files from the usbdisk.
Thanks for slapping me upside the head. I needed that.

I've recently bought a second-hand Asus Transformer TF101, my first ever Android device. I have a 1.5Tb Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex external drive full to the brim of documents, music and videos which I'd like to be able to use with my transformer. When I connect the drive the light on the connecting piece lights up, but nothing comes up on the Transformer's screen and I'm not able to see or access the drive on either the native file manager or the Astro one. I've tried rebooting the Transformer with it connected and have connected and disconnected it several times, but it's made no difference.
What would be the problem and is there any way to fix it? Does Android lack the drivers to access the drive? I thought Samsung would have released Android specific drivers for it, considering the vast quantity of Android devices they sell. Is it anything that the upcoming ICS update might fix? Or could we expect a driver/fix from Google and/or Samsung at some point in the coming months, or is it just tough, the device will never work with it. I'm just using the stock ROM and am cautious about switching to another, but I might if there's a stable ROM that fixes this, if it's the only option.
I'm bicycle touring around Australia and New Zealand for the next few years and I have no access to a computer to transfer files between the two. The battery life of the TF101 is great for travelling, as is the fact I an charge it by bicycle pedalling, but if it can't do something as basic as access an external drive then I'm not impressed and will likely have to manage without for the moment and then jump ship to a Windows 8 tablet later in the year.

Ok for one win8 will have alot of bugs when released if the desktop edition is anything to go buy. There is never a instant fix!
It could be the format of your drive the tf plays best with ntfs
It could be that some hdds are encrypted and only designed to work with certin os's and need programs etc
Either way you need to find out more about your hdd for us
All custom ROM's have support for ntfs drives i currently use a 2.5inch 500gb seagate on my tf101

I was thinking to put this in the Nex 7 forum but i feel like it's more of a general android question, and I just happen to be using a Nexus 7 while coming up with this question.
So up until a few months ago, I had the Asus Transformer TF101 with the dock. The main reason I was keeping it was that I was able to plug my SD card from my camera into the slot in the dock and have the Dropbox automatically upload all the pictures to my Camera uploads folder (I loved that it did this because it changes all the filenames to a timestamp of when the picture was taken). Since I'd had the tablet two years, I figured it was time for an upgrade, so I picked up the 2013 Nexus 7, especially once I read that (after rooting and installing stickmount) I'd be able to attach a card reader with a USB OTG cable, figuring i'd still be able to use the automatic Dropbox camera upload feature. After messing around with it for a few days now I can't seem to figure out how to get it done, I was just curious if anyone has had any experience with the same problem, or if anyone had any ideas of how I can make it work?
I've recently completed a trip to Disney World with my family and took over 300 Pictures. I used my MS PRO 3 to store the pics and do some work.. Unfortunately i woke up today and the device won't boot up.
I took the Microsoft store where i bought it for assistance and i was told it is most likely gone forever.
Since this is suppose to be a Laptop replacement, they're able to reach the Hard drive registry and pull any folder that is customer created or use a USB drive and install the corrupted files?
I was wondering is there is any ways to retrieve this pictures or document. Know with a standard laptop its possible. Why not the pro.
You may ask why, Why i didn't save it thru One Drive, Well the photo were too big and the types of transfer is not allow... I never had these types of issues with my android devices($500) something different with the Surface pro 3 ($1400).
Hypothetically, you could extract the solid-state drive from the tablet and connect that to another device. You'd pretty much need to take the tablet to pieces to do so, though.
This is the same problem you would have if any other device with non-removable storage (MBA, iPad, Android tablet, $300 Dell Venue 8 Windows tablet, etc.) doed so completely you couldn't even begin the boot process, by the way. It sucks that it happened to a high-end device but that's what warranties are for. As for the lost photos, well, that sucks but unless they're still on the camera memory card then recovering them is going to be difficult and/or expensive if it's possible at all, and it might not be.

Well, it's not really fair to compare the SP3 to an Android device. Android uses ARM processors and the SP3 uses x86 processors. x86 is the kind of processor that you would find in a laptop or desktop. You should be able to retrieve any files from your SP3 as you would from a laptop. It has the same hardware as a laptop.
Keep in mind that MS has 14 day return policy as does most computer retailers. If it is a mechanical failure it is under warranty and they will replace it. If you have a replacement plan they will replace it no matter what.
Unfortunately, most will tell you that the way to get files from a busted PC is to take the hard drive out and put in a different PC. I don't think you want to take your SP3 apart for a few files.
The best solution would be to find a way to boot your PC from a USB. If you can manage that, you can copy the files to a USB. You're probably going to need a USB hub.
Forget it guys let's admit it the sp3 is a beautiful piece of hardware and fantastic fete of engineering. But truth be told mine bricked on day 1 and had to spent an extra 200$ shipping it back for an exchange from Microsoft.
There are way too many occasions reported that I wonder what the mac boys would say about this. Thinks I wanna let the cat out of the bag.
