Hp 8 1401 root

I didn't know where else to post this so I thought I would put it here.
I recently just purchased a HP 8 1401 tablet and I'm wondering on the root method for it? any help would be great!

Try SRS Root.
Sent from my Karbonn A10 using XDA Premium HD app

I used the cydia impactor to root - its working (like with the most other android-devices).
But after rooting the device, i got the problem, that the tab is factoryreseted after every reboot! Any one else with this problem or has anybody an hint to disable the resetting to factory defaults after every reboot?
Edit: is there anyone, who can build an TWRP or CWM for this tablet ???
(sorry 4 my not perfect english! )

were you able to get past the factory reset cycle everytime it reboots? i am experiencing the same issue and i cannot get rebuild it everytime it reboots. please let me know.

sorry - no chance
The problem is not coming from busybox like on other tablets. So i have no idea to solve this. Only way to disable the reseting on every reboot is to enable "fast reboot" option in the build.prop,-file. If that's not the way you want, you have to flash back your factory image. Because there is a bug in the factory-recovery (not mounting SD-card), you can only use the adb-flash-option!!! If you are back on the factory 1.0.7 Firm, there is an OTA-update to 1.0.8 available. If you confirm this update, be carefuly to root again. You can NOT flash the factory firmware again to date, because there is a date-check inside the factory-firmwares, so you can't flash an older ROM over an newer!

how would i get about reinstating the main firmware i rooted mine also and its doing the same thing with the factory reset ........

Multiple efforts, no result.

Being an avid user of GravityBox, a device without it isn't worth having. A three days ago I was handed down an HP 8 1401 from a cousin, within that time, I've had it factory reset on me twice, primarily due to the fact that this device really doesn't like a root. At first I followed this forum using the earlier suggested SRSRoot. Long story short, it didn't work because SRSRoot could not detect the device, and yes it was over mass media storage, the proper way to connect it.
I later moved on to Root Genius, where if you reset your device, or shut it off, it factory reset. Then I rolled with it and promised to always charge it, then out of the blue it just factory reset. yay.
Don't try rooting this device. HP are rooting nazis.
Also, my device now has the reset issue

Join the club
Unfortunately I am another sucker with the continuous reset so hoping one of you genius's out there can solve it.
I was trying to test the otg to a 3g dongle and couldn't access wireless and networks so tried to root and bingo- reset every power down!!!!!:crying:

good news;
there is an update to Android 4.4.2 (kitkat) aviable. Look on the HP-Support page for the Software update!
If your device has the "root-reset-bug" you (only) can update by using adb sideload in recovery mode.

yea, i update it but now root is gone , i wanna root back pls help

Updated - still resets and even more issues

I side loaded the update - no difference as far as resetting goes - every power down still gives a full reset. Now I can't go into recovery mode.
Now I know why I stopped buying HP products years ago - I hope someone comes up with a fix soon as this is a right pain in the rs.

U can go to recovery mode by pressing: on and volume up a long time. And when the hp sign comes up let go of the on button, but still pressing the volume up till u get recovery.

Still no one to root it with ota 4.4.2 update on it ?, or did anyone try to placa any custom rom. Is this possible??????

interested in rooting this device... what is the current status about factory resetting?

still resets
I have removed my root and it still resets every time - I hate this - it is a real pest- Can someone design a new rom or someway to overcome this fault.
HP must know and can't care.

Any news on this?
GUYS WITH REBOOT PROBLEM, HAVE YOU TRIED RESTORING JB IMAGE? It is available for download on HP website for this tablet. Just go to HP website > Support > Download drivers > Under "Find my product" type "HP 8 1401 Tablet" > Select HP 8 1401 Tablet > Under "Select or confirm your operating system and click Next" select Android and press Next button > You'll now see "(+) Software - Solutions", click "+" and now select ethier US version or European,Asian.. Please try that and post if it works. Thanks.

So I was able to get the next generation up (1411) rooted with NO REBOOT ISSUE!!!! Try this method on the 1401
I downloaded PDAnet+ from play store and for the PC. It loaded a daemon on my tablet but was unable to root (took forever). Once done I downloaded KINGO Root and it successfully rooted my tablet in minutes. Root Checker verified SuperSU permissions granted all good to go. Hope this helps others.
YOU MUST INSTALL PDANET AND TRY ROOT THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP. IT SEEMS PDANET PREPS THE TABLET FOR KINGO TO SUCCESSFULLY ROOT!!!!!!!!!!!

This is suspicious as hell, I wouldn't recommend doing it!
Official description of PdaNet+:
"PdaNet+ shares the Internet access of your Android phone with your computer or tablet."
Downloading and installing that app for anything about rooting doesn't make any sense.. Be careful people.

Wow I was expecting a thank you rather than being "suspicious'. I am actually a bit offended by this but ill be an adult and understand people's need to be cautious.
In all honesty I have no concrete idea why Pdanet needs to be installed and attempted first, by all means try kingo root first. I'm just letting others know my steps. I immediately Uninstalled Pdanet and the kingo daemon immediately after root. I can say that everything is functioning as intended and the root is true (freedom, game Guardian and lucky patcher all working)
I looked up how to root the allwinner version (33) and came across many people with the same allwinner but belonging to cheap no name tablets. All of them had issues with the other root methods and were able to root via the PDANET/KINGO combo. If you feel too much is at risk to even try this then please don't try it. I respect everyone's privacy and was just trying to share what worked for me. I can provide screenshot and video proof if need be.
Sorry to be so suspicious, I was just trying to help!

Now that I think about it Pdanet had me activate USB tether within the app (which ties all good with the official description of pdanet) in order for it to see my tablet despite the HP g2 drivers being installed. I guess whatever it installs or configures within the tablet and/or computer allows it to be "open enough" for a successful kingo root.

anyone manage to solve factory reset problem?
i tried copy/paste update file from hp web, tried copying it to internal and sd card and USB OTG but when i go to recovery i cant even find it on internal or sd or usb otg. when i chose internal it just say "install from internal complete" and nothing else.
i even tried hard reset, didnt help either
someone please help
tablet is practicly useless

hi
i managed to fix my device from reseting to factory settings after every restart. i dont know how but i did it :smileyvery-happy:
mine problem beside reseting to factory settings after every restart was not beeing able to load update.zip from internal or external memory in recovery. so i have tried fev solutions i found on web. i think i succeeded when my battery dropped below 30% and i wasnt able to start my device so i pluged my charger and device started, i let it little to charge and reboot it to recovery from settings (i had sd card in with update.zip from hp page on it) and i choose apply from external and recovery recocnized sd card and file update.zip on it. i loaded it and installation finished. i rebooted system, set up my google account and everything else, shut down device and turn it back on and everything was ok :smileyvery-happyD
hope this will help

How to root RCT6773W22 (rca voyager)

So like me you went ahead and got that 20 dollar black friday tablet and are looking for things to do. Well lets start by rooting the thing. Obviously I've gotta say it's your device and anything you do to it is your choice so no crying please if you mess it up. This is really simple thanks to the guys from kingo root.
First things first lets turn on developer options go to settings about tablet click on build number about ten times and it unlocks developer options or you. Now we click developer options and turn on usb debugging then go to security and check unknown sources and uncheck verify apps. Now plug it in.
For the most part my laptop just installed the drivers. But if yours doesn't then you'll need to install the android sdk and ... this parts in the video but if you got questions pm me.
next download kingo root from here and run it with the voyager plugged in. It'll take a couple minutes and a reboot will happen but that's it it's done.
I made a video here hope it helps
WARNING don't go crazy deleting things just yet it certain things like most google apps can be deleted but certain system apps it's a no go and we don't have any kind of recovery but in the mean while we've got root

Hello,I got a similar RCA device with Kitkat 4.4.2 like yours.
The model number is RCT6672W23 and I am having trouble
I can't get mine to root because Kingo does not recognize my device despite installing the Google USB Driver revision 11 via the Android SDK Manager itself.
I previously had the Android SDK Manager installed for a FireTV from months before.
The autoplay menu even comes up,and I can access folders within my device.
Edit:Then again,I am not using a proper wire,and it reads a seperate name MTG above the RCT name.
Will the main wire work just fine from the RCA website below my devices info?

Do you mean the usb cord? I just used any old usb cord lying around. Do you have developer options enabled?

All steps have been done,but it could not detect it.
I had it all done in developer options,the animation scales smaller,the USB Debugging enabled,and I switched to ART mode.
I am guessing ART mode is causing it to not detect correctly?
On an unrelated note,it died randomly.
I was using it,and it shut off by itself,and would not turn back on,not even with the charger trick.
I had it on ART mode since the first time using it.
Don't buy RCA brand tablets,lesson learned.
RCA is one of the best brands of VCRs from the early days,not a good tablet brand though.
Last year's tablet model has videos of the battery swelling like a bag of popcorn,mine couldn't even last a week.

Root Master roots this tablet!

Almost...
I'm trying Kingo on a RCT6773W22 and it detects, goes thru the process but I'm noting on one reboot that it's hanging due to the length of time this tab tends to take on a full reboot w/RCA graphics, etc. I'm like 30 seconds short of it fully rebooting and then being able to be redetected but I hit the timeout error. When I hit Finish, it even resets Kingo and redetects! So that's not the issue, the timeout is. Any ways to screw with that to make Kingo hang longer or a total Fastboot setting for the tab until I get it rooted?

RCT6672W23 will root with kingo. But there isn't a custom recovery for it

Had to use the windows version but this cheap crapper is now rooted.. Switching from kingo su to supersu then deleting bloat ?

Anyone have root for this same device with their upgraded lollipop rom ? Amazingly, the bloatware is now removable without root, but I still want full control of MY tablet.

i have the 22b with lollipop and i wanted to root it but none of the know methods for the 22 work, any ideas?

can someone please make a full backup of this tablet and upload somewhere so i can unbrick my tablet.

apk didnt do it

If kingo root and iroot fail
Hey guys, I just want to share this:
My tablet is the RCA 7 VOYAGER II build number rct6773w22b running Android 5.0
After looking thru pages and pages on this Thread, I finally rooted my tablet, wich for some reason didn't work with Kingo Root or Iroot at first
I'm not a pro but I'm not an amateur either, here is what happened:
1-Opened the dev options and setup Debug mode. Downloaded SDK drivers, tried Kingo root, it wouldnt detect my tablet, someone suggested to install PDANET, it worked. Kingo root detected my tablet but the root failed all the time
2-Tried Iroot (pc version), detected my tablet, but again failed to root
3-Finally I decided to go to Device manager (Windows 10) and unnistall all the drivers related to the Android Phone.
4-Launched Iroot and installed the driver automaticly. But it continued to fail the rooting process
5-Launched Kingo Root detected my tablet with the Driver Iroot installed and finally, the root was succeful
Why this happended, I dont know but it's now working on my tablet. I hope it helps

Kingo root bricked my device, can you upload proof of your voyager 2 being rooted(video proof).

Bricked your device? really?. This method works but the root does not hold. I can't use a different su binary as well so this is a good start now just to find out how to make the root stick.

Hmmm I don't know how you bricked it, You sure it is a 22b and not just a 22? I have been trying to get root to stick on my two 22b's and I can't see anyway you can possibly brick these devices as it would appear that nothing is getting written to the rom. Too bad and maybe next time pay attention to your model numbers. I know this thread is for the 22 model and not the 22b but this root method mentioned was for the 22b. Now if I can get the su binary to update thru supersu then I can get root to stick but as it is now this method is useless as the root will not stick but it is a good start.

The 22 does not have blue tooth, but the 22b does. My ex finances soon has the 22, her daughter has the 22b i have the 22b. He has the 22, because it has root and I removed YouTube and the camera app, as well as added all YouTube address to the host file to block the browers from going to YouTube. But we started with 2 of the 22's one bricked, so rca replaced it with a 22b. Bricked it trying to root it. Rca is a bad brand of tablets. It could have just been a bad tablet just like the 22 that bricked itself for no reason.I can replace the battery with a charged one but it just boot loops and can't get into recovery. So I'll have rca replace it again and sell the sob and buy a Samsung tablet.

And can't you just use kingo su? That's what I have to use on the 22 because super su won't update the binary.

Trying to root Kyocera Hydro Wave model C6740N

Title pretty much says it all. I've tried countless one click root programs with no progress whatsoever. I've spent hours searching and nothing comes up for this phone. Does anyone know a way to root this thing??

same here, a guy who works for kyocera told me that this model cant be put into recovery mode. Any help appreciated

I'm joining the request. As stated above, I've combed the web for anything on it with no success. Is this because of the fairly new release? Or possibly the trouble they're in because of Microsoft?
Either way I feel there should be an exploit out for it by now...

I too am looking fir an exploit for this device, and have scoured Google, Bing, and Yahoo, only to find nothing.

This model (Hydro Wave C6740N) CAN be put into Recovery Mode, using ADB.
Since Windows (edit: XP) USB drivers for the C6740N Wave are not released by Kyocera (yet), you (edit: can) use a Linux or OS X machine to connect using USB, to use ADB on the C6740N. (Since USB connection to C6740N "just works" on those platforms.)
I have used ADB on a Macbook running OS X to reboot my Hydro Wave into Recovery Mode, and performed cache wipe successfully. Also performed backups using ADB.
Kyocera advised (via email) that the Wave can be put into Recovery using Volume Down + Power key combo. Not true, the key combo does not work.
Kyocera also advised (via chat) that the Windows USB driver for any Hydro family device will work for the Wave. Also not true (I tried it). (Edit: I tried the drivers with Windows XP. It looks like the Kyocera Windows USB drivers may simply be USB modem drivers only, on any case.)
OS X or Linux using ADB is the ticket, no USB driver necessary. (Edit: But see other posts about using Windows 10 too.)
I'm also keenly interested in rooting the C6740N, but an absolute noob. The C6740N has a lot going for it, but a few shortcomings that root would enable resolving. If anyone knows of a way to root it, we would be most grateful to hear about it.

Tried about everything else too and nothing works

There's a working driver in Windows 10, but KingoRoot still fails. I almost tried King Root, but it's all in Chinese. I was going to try Framaroot but gave up when the download link resulted in an endless survey loop to win a free $100 Visa card (yeah....... GO F**K YOURSELF). I really want to root this thing. MetroPCS has this thing loaded full of bloatware and the Google BS I never use (google+ MUST DIE) is just eating storage space and what tiny bit of RAM is left. It's a nice phone but the inability to overclock the CPU, delete bloatware, and turn my 4GB SD Card into RAM really leaves alot to be desired.

The phone can be put into recovery using adb on windows.but that's as far as that goes.Cant find any way to root.Hope we get one soon.

So I think we should make a list of what root methods that did not work. That way we wont get hassled of what does not work

Kingo Root: FAIL
Towelroot: FAIL
Framaroot: UNKNOWN
King Root: UNKNOWN (Can't read Chinese)

Could you use a kill file that would reset all data including disabling some things

Root genius fails
King root fails
Kingoroot fails
Iroot fails
Framaroot fails
Towelroot fails
I'm thinking you gotta unlock the boot loader , but I can't put into fast boot mode or boot onto the boot loader for any adb fastboot commands to work. I can get to recovery in adb , and in the recovery menu I select boot to boot loader but it boots normally. I really want to root this thing!!

I just noticed that they're are any way to root the latest lolipop unless your on 5.0.2 ( BTW I checked kingroot and checked the request of our device and its almost to 1000

Subbing 'cuz I just got it and want it rooted. How do I request it from Kingroot?

If he rooted the phone he sent the reply from, he's unfortunately in the wrong thread. The C6530N is the Hydro Life. We're trying to root the C6740N which is the Hydro Wave. Thanks for getting our hopes up.
On the other hand, if he's using the Hydro Life to post in the forum but has successfully rooted the Hydro Wave, we would all love to know just how you did it. My Hydro Wave is running worse than an Alcatel Evolve on the stock setup. We need root badly.

Speaking of root exploits such as Framaroot, see
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/0...droid_users_creates_hijackable_global_botnet/
Which links to the original exposé:
https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2015/09/guaranteed_clicksm.html
...which notes that this Android botnet malware uses Framaroot and other root exploits. I wonder if some of these Chinese root exploit tools themselves (Framaroot, Kingoroot, etc.) carry a hidden malware payload.
....

Hi I've tried everything also but I also tried this program for tablets called zuse toolkit & it seems to get something through cause it reboots & optimizes or upgrade apps I'm not too sure which one but if someone out there knows how to modifie the way this zuse toolkit roots then maybe we have a chance of rooting this new phone oh & after it optimizes or upgrades the apps I check for root permissions and it still says it does not have root permissions so yea...

How to make root on Acer Iconia One (B1-770)?

Hi, couple weeks ago I bought Acer Iconia One 7 B1-770-K476 NT.LBTAA.001. Seems that it is a new model and I can't find any info or faq how to make root on it. I tried different tools (framaroot, kingroot and others) but no success.
Also strange thing in setting (Apps), no option (button) to move app to SD card. Install some apps and tablet is full.
Will be glad for your help.
At first want to root it. Then need recovery to be able to use custom firmwares.
Thanks!

I used king root to root my tablet, but we gonna need a custom recovery to install xposed and be able to move apps to the sd

I also used kingroot to get root. The PC version, not the apk. To move apps to SDcard im using the paid version of Link2sd, the free one doesnt let you move the whole apps. I havent found any custom roms or recovery though.

carlosomar222, or unleashurfreak, can any of you elaborate?
I was unable to use KingRoot (PC version) because it never detected my tablet.
Where did you get the drivers?

You can find drivers on the acer support web site, but you can just try using the apk instead, its easier, by the way I managed to install xposed framework using flashfire that way you can run a module to use the SD card as internal storage , now we just need a custom recovery, i also replaced king root with super su using a script I found on a website, I can get the link if anyone is interested

The KingRoot APK did not work.
It was unable to find a solution for my device.
Could it possibly be because I have the latest update installed?
That's why I want to try the PC version instead.
Unfortunately, the drivers fail to install on my PC.
Are you also using B1-770?

Has anyone else successfully rooted this device?
And if you have, could you please share the steps you took to do so?
Really appreciated!

I also have a B1-770 with the latest update. The PC version of King Root failed.

Don't try to root b1-770 models, is brick your device.
I have tried many PC/APK rootkit, nothing work. For finish, I have returned the tablet on the store to get new one, OS have crashed (many errors with build-in apps, wifi problems, startup of device very long).
In my tests, I have found the reason of impossibility to root this tablet;
- Bootloader is locked
- No pre-root
- Android 5 have more security about rootkit
- Rootkit is only made for Android 4.x and lower
- Acer have added few security and reject all modifications on system files (with and without the Android protection)

For now, no. Many reason make it hard to root. is not impossible, but no right solution for this tablet.
Keep in mind...
- Android 4.x and lower have few security breach and can be rooted with many way; B1-770 is under Android 5.0.1
- Other Android device are pre-root (User on device is not root but if you connect by ADB, you have the root); B1-770 is not pre-root, SU is protected (trying modifing this files, and others make a crash when trying to update OS)
- Unlock bootloader, or unlocked bootloader can make easy root with right kit; B1-770 have a locked bootloader, Acer not offer any way to unlock it.
Is possible to root, but need a skill with Android OS, can compile your own Android OS version, insert root, and upload/replace it on the tablet. But you need to know what you made. You can also extract bootloader, modifing it, etc.... but need a high skill in Android security.
DON'T TRY FASTBOOT; Under ADB, you can reboot the device on Fastboot mode. But Windows not have the drivers for handle this mode. You need to Reset/reboot tablet for returning in Android OS (the hole between power and volume button).
I have searched many roots, because whant to move installed APP on my SD Card (with symlink), Android have removed this feature since 4.4.x (some devices have always this feature, is added by the developper). Rooting this tablet is totally unsafe; don't known if you loose some options of tablet (ex; my cell phone, if is rooted, camera stop working, with my other tablet, the wifi have some problems to keep connection long time).
My suggestion; wait a root and few comments about this before root. You must keep a unrooted tablet running good between a bricked tablet can't run anything.

For now, no. Many reason make it hard to root. is not impossible, but no right solution for this tablet.
Keep in mind...
- Android 4.x and lower have few security breach and can be rooted with many way; B1-770 is under Android 5.0.1
- Other Android device are pre-root (User on device is not root but if you connect by ADB, you have the root); B1-770 is not pre-root, SU is protected (trying modifing this files, and others make a crash when trying to update OS)
- Unlock bootloader, or unlocked bootloader can make easy root with right kit; B1-770 have a locked bootloader, Acer not offer any way to unlock it.

Hello people of xda. Has anyone found a way to root this?

The KingRoot APK did not work.
It was unable to find a solution for my device.
Could it possibly be because I have the latest update installed?
That's why I want to try the PC version instead.
Unfortunately, the drivers fail to install on my PC.
Are you also using B1-770?

Did you install any firmware updates though? I believe that's what's not letting KingRoot work as it did with you.

Yeah, that's probably why it won't work for me
Any news on new root?

Need to get some developers on it, sadly this always happens with this kind of devices, best bet is to wait for a new method for similar devices using the same chipset

Hey
I rooted my acer iconia b1 770!
Download king root v.4.5 and let it flow...

HOW TO. One Click Root APK (APP)for Galaxy Core Prime 360T

I just picked up a galaxy core prime 360T and couldnt find a direct root method in any of the threads. I seen others rooting it using the same method as the Metro PCS Core Prime but didnt feel like experimenting with it without a straight forward answer and with no nandroid or custom recovery i didnt feel like experimenting. Here is how I rooted my 360T using the kingroot app for android here http://www.kingroot.net/. First off my device came with 5.1.1 out of the box so whether this works on other builds I am not sure . This is what I did
1. Allow install of apps from unknown apps
2. Turn on OEM Unlocking in developer options. (If you dont know how to enable Dev Options just go to about phone and click on Build Number until it is enabled)
3. I also had USB debugging enabled even though we will not be using it
4. Install the APK on your phone from the link above
5.Open the app and scroll to the bottom and click try now. (It will run once and fail then it will give you another option to root. Try it again and you should have success. ) my phone did not reboot during the process but was still rooted successfully.
Install SuperSu afterwards if you would like to and update the binaries
