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
Hey there, I've recently managed to get root on my tablet, and I want to now fix this issue.
The feature simply doesn't show up in the Settings app. Using this app makes it appear there, but if I reboot, it goes away. Is there a way to make it permanently enabled?
Hi,
We need to know your device make and model number to point you towards help.
Thanks!

Sorry, I assumed the fix would be general and wouldn't have to be for a specific model or such.
As for the tablet and it's model/specs, all I've managed to find is a mention of it being a ZTE E8QP on the "instructions" manual, and a bit of Google searching told me that it is a ZTE E8Q actually.
You can also find the tablet's page here, but it only lists the specs basically.
I am thinking the issue is how you rooted. Did you use towel root or something similar? Those root methods don't survive a reboot or power down. So any root system changes you make reset after rebooting.
The only way to avoid this is with write protection disabled, Usually by unlocking the bootloader, or using an exploit. But those exploits are usually for the more popular devices, and many don't work on newer Android updates.
All that said, for further help, you'll need to ask for help here,

Nevermind, I found another way to enable it, there is this Xposed module which does the exact same thing, and keeps working after reboot! Still, thanks!
Awesome! Thread closed. ?
so my root didn't fully work and i wanted to delete the root. after i deleted the root I rebooted my phone but now my phone won't start. can anyone help me?
Photon156 said:
Alright. A) What phone?
B) What software did you use?
C) By 'root', do you mean you attempted to flash a rooted stock rom to your device?
D) How didn't if work? (i.e. ODIN3: FAIL)
You may have deleted your os somehow. Go into recovery and flash the stock, unrooted version and try again.

Hi xda,
i currently have an lg g 90 (pretty old model) that is rooted with either kingroot or super su, im not sure. I originally had kingroot but used super su me to try to switch to super su. It said it was completed but kingroot was still there. I then restarted my device and it got stuck on the load up screen with the t-mobile logo. I've tried restarting it many times. Could this possibly be a brick? If so, how would i fix it? Nevermind, i factory reset my phone but not in the setup, it wont let me go past wifi. I'll click next and it will take me to a blank page and back to the wifi setup. Also once this problem is resolved, would it be able to install twerp and cm13 on it? Thank You!
