Thanks kibaruk!!!!!!

ok for all slate 7 users, i found a real easy and secure way to root our device, no brick chance because it doesn't modify anything inside the tablet, you just push su.
Way easier than having to install software you don't even know what it does...
The hardest part of the whole thing is installing the adb drivers which is detailed below in step 6-7-8 in case it's all you need.
step 1: Download android sdk manager (there are lots of stripped versions that might work but for tutorials sake we'll use the whole thing).
step 2: Download cydia's impactor (cydia's impactor home page in case you are interested in reading a bit).
step 3: Install both software previously downloaded (the android sdk manager doesnt have an installer, it will unzip and work from that directory, it's probably better if you unzip it into an easy to access path but it's up to you, for tutorial we will use c:\asdk\ ).
step 4: Open android sdk manager, select from the list and install only* "android sdk platform-tools" and "google usb driver" (* only as in this are the only things we actualy need, if you need at some other point or are interested in tinkering you are free to do so).
Ok so here we start with the sort-of-hard part, making our computer connect with our slate 7 through adb, to do this you need to...
step 5: Open a command terminal (windows button + r to open a run window and type cmd to open a terminal).
step 6: Go to c:\users\username\.android\ and type within the terminal:
Code:
echo 0x03f0 >> adb_usb.ini
step 7: At this point you need to get back to an explorer window and get to c:\asdk\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\ (or wherever you unzipped it), there you will find a file called "android_winusb.ini", open it and add at the end the following:
Code:
; hp
%singleadbinterface% = usb_install, usb\vid_03f0&pid_5e1d
%compositeadbinterface% = usb_install, usb\vid_03f0&pid_5d1d&mi_01
%compositeadbinterface% = usb_install, usb\vid_03f0&pid_601d&mi_01
step 8: Open windows device manager and you will see your tablet as "hp" with a yellow warning icon, right click it and check update software, then click look for software in the computer, then click on choose driver from a list.
Once you do this you will see an icon "use disk". Explore your way to c:\asdk\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\ and choose "android_winusb.ini" file.
The first option you will see is android adb interface, so you pick next, it will warn you about installing drivers from unkwnown sources you keep saying yes until it's done.
step 9: Go back to your cmd terminal and get to c:\asdk\sdk\platform-tools\ , this is where adb.exe is and type in the following:
Code:
adb kill-server
Code:
adb start-server
Code:
adb devices
if everything worked as expected you will see a device listed, this is your slate 7.
step 10: Now open cydia's impactor tool, you will see a small window with a default command on screen which is the following:
Code:
# drop supersu su to /system/xbin/su
just click start next to it aaaaand you are done!
Just open an app like titanium backup which needs root to see if it worked.
This method is simple plus you don't have to download anything chinese or unnecesary software into your computer, the tutorial is really long because i tried to be as detailed as posible but in the end you shouldnt take more than 5 minutes (the downloads might take a bit longer though for the sdk), i would take screenshots of the process but my computer runs on a spanish version of windows (the same reason why you might see things with different names i was just trying to guess the device manager label part).
If you have any question feel free to ask and if it worked for you a thanks would be awesome so more users will try this.

The Slate 7 and the TP are completely different. I strongly suggest that instead of posting here, you request that XDA start a forum for your device. A quick Google search turns up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354&page=855.
I know they are different but there is no Sub Forum for Slate 7.
So I posted it here hoping for someone to reply with Root files :/
Thanks for moving it.

Hey mate,
I have tried to root the HP Slate 7. I am not a developer. I am just an user who knows a thing or two.
Upon trying to sideload flash root files, adb stops and says it cannot be done on production firmware. Same goes via manual.
So the issue relies on the firmware. HP has locked the device down so we will either need to wait on HP to give us the unlock method or for a developer to crack it!
You can always try yourself but not sure if it will work. I think if we created a pre-root firmware we could flash that to gain root.
Root files are universal so just search and download!
Well I can't find root files.
And the problem I think is the CWM.

Tried this and no success. This is what I have been doing and no luck. adb commands work and it will push but the apps aren't there after completing step 2 and running unlock root. I have done a reboot and tried more than once.
I have done this method before so I don't know where I am going wrong lol.
To be honest, I think my Slate and laptop aren't communicating correctly. I cannot transfer non-media files. Have you got this issue?

Mate have you done something to your HP Slate that I haven't? Or you have a special one.
Adb works fine for me. Gaining root does not. Same error. Cannot do on a production build.
Any updates done before root? Mine was out the box and straight to the laptop for rooting. I downloaded the backup firmware from HP's site and not used it.

I want to be able to use adb to pull/ push apps to my phone.
I recently converted my PC to Ubuntu 10.10 from windows and I am finding it impossible to find any sort of noob friendly guide as to how I can actually get it installed and working.
Can anyone help? Or point me towards a guide. All the stuff I find seems to assume you either already have it installed or know how to do it already!

ubuntu recognizes it by default unless you modified your settings or messed with the kernel.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Download the Linux tools. Extract it then open your terminal and go to the extracted folder, inside here is a folder called tools, with the terminal cd into tools and type ./android.....app should open, go to available packages, android repository, check the first one and should be android sdk tools.
Click install selected at the bottom right. Once it's done you will have adb installed.
On your phone, go to settings, applications, development, check usb debugging. Also check unknown sources.
Inside the folder you are in, there should be a file/ script called adb. This means you can run the adb commands from here.
In terminal, assuming you are in the folder where the adb file is located, type:
Sudo ./adb start-server
This should recognize your phone.
Hello all! Here is a guide I am going to show for you so you can get Android SDK and ADB working on your computer and learn your way around Android.
[Note] I am doing this on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit computer.
Step 1. Get Java. Download Links Here
First what we need to do is download and install Java for your computer.
Since mine is a 64bit I will need to download both the 64 and 32 bit versions of Java.
If your computer is 64bit you will need to download both.
If 32bit download only the 32bit version.
Once you have Java installed we can move on to the next step.
Step 2. Get Android SDK Download Link Here
Since we have installed Java now we move on to Android SDK.
For Windows users you have 2 options to download SDK.
I chose the .zip file over the .exe Download to the zip
Once finished with the download extract the .zip file.
After zip is extracted open the folder called "android-sdk_r11-windows"
With that open click on the folder, "android-sdk-windows", to rename it.
Rename it AndroidSDK
Open Computer from the Start Menu
For me my Local Disk is C: so I am going to place the folder AndroidSDK in my Local Disk C: drive
Now we have SDK placed in our Local Disk drive now we are going to open the folder and run the .exe called "SDK Manager"
After it loads up it will show you a screen like this.
Just hit Cancel
From the next menu click "Available packages"
Click the drop down arrow on the "Android Repository"
Check the box "Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 5"
At the bottom right of the windows you will see a box "Install Selected" click that and then you will be prompted to download and install the package click "Install"
After it is downloaded you will be prompted with this.
Click Yes, then it should say "Done. 1 Package installed."
Click close and close out of the SDK Manager, bring back up your AndroidSDK.
You should have a file named "platform-tools" open it and select all the files.
Right click and select cut.
Now we are going to go back in our SDK folder open "tools" and paste
You will get a message saying there are already files with the same name, just tell it to replace that file.
This is what it should look like afterwards.
Now we are done with AndroidSDK!
Step 3. Download HTC Sync Download Page Here
Now we have our SDK setup we are close to having our phone ready for ADB.
Download HTC Sync (It is a rather large file 148MB)
This will give us our Drivers for our Sensation.
Once downloaded run the .exe file and follow the on screen instructions.
Once finished go to your phone and go to Settings/Applications/Development and Check USB debugging is on. Now connect your phone to your computer.
Now that your computer has installed your drives we can now use ADB!
Step 4. Conclusion
So far the things we have done were to get us to use our phones for ADB to use a program like, "Fre3vo" to where we can have a temp-root.
Now lets see if our hard work has paid off.
Go to the Start and open command prompt (type cmd in the search and hit enter)
Once your at this stage on the command prompt
type
"cd\"
"cd androidsdk\tools\"
"adb devices"
(don't include the quotation marks)
You should see your device come up like so.
Congratulations you now have everything you need to being!
Very good tutorial, thx.

Great guide.
Works for me.

Awesome guide, you are Thanked Sir
Just a little tip to save a few key strokes. To get to a cmd prompt and be ready to start typing commands right away, just navigate to the AndroidSDK directory and open it. Then hold the shift key + right click on Tools folder, you will see a option for opening a cmd prompt here.
Just saves a few strokes.
This should be made into a stickie!

Do you have a virus protection program open?
Try to disable the virus protection program first, if that doesn't work. I have another way to get the drivers.
It's a bit more complicated but it works.
I made this guide on a brand new computer, and wrote this guide from a brand new computer stand point. So I didn't have any virus protection or any firewall programs.
Try to reboot and uninstall HTC Sync and reinstall.
Hope this helps!
Slightly easier way to get ADB and Fastboot running in ANY window without having to go to the SDK folder each time (this is for Windows 7 but should work in other Windows version too):
1. Click 'Start and right-click on 'Computer'
2. Go to 'Properties'
3. Click on 'Advanced system settings' in the top-left corner
4. Click the 'Environment variables...' button
5. In the bottom pane, scroll down to the 'Path' entry and then add the location of the SDK to the end of the line, using a ; to seperate it from the previous entry
Voila, you can just open a CMD windows and type adb and you're good to go!
Thanks so much for this guide. This is my first Android phone so I am a complete noob. I'm gonna try the temp root now!

Fair enuff, but it's quite easy to do if you follow those instructions. Combined we've put pretty everything you need to get it running
Instead of copy pasting adb from platform-tools to tools you can do this:

read step 3. works great.
Edit: read the edit .
Thank you for the guide btw. I wish i researched and found out how to do it, its easy but a great guide like this would have gone a long way and save me an hour
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 and I am trying to use Adams linux tool to unlock it. I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop and got ADB to recognize my phone. I downloaded the tool extracted it, opened it nothing ran so I found the file Root GS3 with DebugFSRoot in Scripts I opened that and then clicked on adb.exe and got this error.

I am completely lost on how to fix it. I am still learning Ubuntu and am familiarizing myself with the system. For some reason when excuting adb commanding I have to put ./ in front of every command or it will not recognize the command. I tried following a guide which would update a source file so I would not need ./ Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Just download the app its in the play store it will unlock your boot loader. Its simple! If you are trying to root your phone also the you will have to use Adams tool if you chose. You will also need java JDK 6.XX. If you look in development you will see other ways to root also and a link to the app for boot loader

I used to use Ubuntu a great deal until I needed Word to write my dissertation. I tried to use Adam's tool in Ubuntu as well and eventually gave up and went back to Windows. For some reason, the tool always said I had a good connection to my phone event when I unplugged my phone from the cable. My computer obviously was not recognizing the phone properly. Since I have been back on Windows for a few years, I just decided to follow the idiots guides out there and just get it done.
Here are a few stupid errors I made:
1. I did not have java runtime environment installed. I simply went to the software store that comes with Ubuntu, searched for java, and installed it.
2. I did not make the .jar file executable. I just clicked on the file, went into properties, and chose the make it executable option.
This at least got the program to run rather than exploring the file .jar file for what it included in it.
As I am sure you know, the Ubuntu forums are a wealth of information. I could have searched there for answers, but I decided to take an easier path. Of course, Adam's program didn't work for me under windows either so I just used a different method. Good luck and I hope you get it working for you in Ubuntu.

I had some issues with rooting as well. You can just open the bat file, and once you see the section with the commands, run each line separately from the prompt. Look for a thread titled roots, bloody roots, sorry but I am on my phone and at work, but that thread explains what I am saying about manually running the commands. Worked like a charm for me. NOTE: Ignore when it says files not found and a few other errors, just run SU after, then check with root checker. Getting superuser installed and working is key, as far as my experience. Rooted 3 Infinitys this way. Good luck

Im using windows 7 64bit ultimate/pro version.
Still dont know whats wrong with this.
I read somewhere that having ADB already installed on your PC causes the defrags method to have problems. If you have ADB install, uninstall.
I've done it on two TF700T--C7 and C8--both on .26 update, and it worked like a charm. I did run defrags on a Windows 7 64bit machine, 32 bit should run fine as well.
I had some problems trying to root too and had to use an older version of Rootdebugfs
I have ADB installed on my comp. I ran the Rootdebugfs method just fine? Maybe you have driver issues connecting?
I never have installed ADB and rooted with no problumz.
I tried to post this in the "Beginners Guide for Rooting" but I do not have privileges. I am trying to root my new s3 on a mac so I am trying to follow the guidance in section one of the guide. However the links for samsung drivers are in an .exe format and the link to the java jdk files has expired. I downloaded the samsung drivers from the link and opened the (.exe) file and I attempted to install another version of the java jdk. When I connect Adam's casual the app recognizes my phone but I am unable to see it on my Mac through Finder. Am I ready to flash if the casual app can see my phone? Or do I need the osx compatible samsung drivers (not with a .exe filename) and a specific version of java jdk?
Thanks in advanced for any help. I tried to search for the answers but I have been coming up empty. Even though casual see's my phone, I'm still not sure if its ok to start flashing.

Did you download the samsung drivers in the link ( the .exe files) and install them on your mac? Also do you still have a copy of the java jdk files? The link in the "guide " is dead or the files have been moved. Thanks.

If I remember correctly, you can't download the samsung drivers on a Mac. And no, sorry I don't have the files
There is no drivers for mac. The only thing that will show is a sdcard if you have one. You are good to use Casual.

Mine doesn't show the sdcard. I can use ADB but that's the only way I can communicate to my device over USB. I have't tried Casual.
Well I finally got home so I could use my Mac with my phone. Casuals worked great a couple of weeks ago as did adb. Now, I can't get either to work. I read that some are having issues with the usb ports on the newer MacBook Pros. I will do a little know testing and see if I can find a way to make it work post back. I tried rebooting, different cables, etc with no luck. If anyone knows anything, please chime in.

Okay, after a lot of digging, I finally figured out what I did. I take no credit for this, I found it on here in reply to a thread somewhere. I can't remember where as I usually view this site on my cell phone.
sudo kextunload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
from a terminal. I forget if you have to reboot or not.
This will disable tethering, but you can now see your device via adb.
To renable tethering once you're done debugging, use
sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
This is for EasyTether only, but I am sure that there could be another type of app that would do the same thing? If you could isolate the app, it should be as easy as replacing the EasyTether part of the command and running that. Good luck, I personally know how aggravating that things like this can be.
