This guide will teach you the easiest method to root and install CWM on your HP Slate 7 2800! These instructions are for Linux, but you should be able to do this on Windows with the correct drivers instead of the android.rules files.
HP Slate 4600: I need someone to test this with the 4600!
DISCLAIMER: This was successfully tested on my HP Slate 7 2800 on Linux Mint 17. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR TAB IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG!!! Proceed at your own risk!
How to Root:
1. Download Cydia Impactor from http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ and install it.
2. Download and install adb. There are multiple ways to do this. One way is to install the Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and install adb through the SDK manager.
3. Download the android.rules.zip from https://sites.google.com/site/jrc2swebsite/downloads/hp-slate-7-2800 and extract the .zip file.
4. Move the two **-android.rules files to /etc/udev/rules.d and mark as executable. Restart your computer.
5. Enable USB Debugging in Developer Options on the tablet. Connect it to the computer.
6. Open the Terminal Emulator on your computer and change the directory to the path where adb is located like this: cd insert/path/for/adb/ (hit enter)
7. Start adb and scan for devices by running sudo ./adb devices (hit enter.) You should see a serial number with the word device next to it.
8. Minimize adb and start Cydia Impactor. Make sure it says "# drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su." Click "Start." If you get a no device found error, click "Bridge" > "Connect" and then click start again.
9. Reboot your tablet. Download Root Checker from the Play Store to make sure you are rooted. Follow the tutorial in the next post for installing CWM Recovery and the SuperSU app to control which apps are granted root access.

Did the slate 7 have a software update? I will have to check that out. Just to make sure, what is your model number?
it is a 2800. I've tried some of the one-click root apps, scripts, and nothing seems to do it, Hp did a nice job at patching this stuff

HP has updated their website and only has the new update.zip there. The only thing I know of is a CWM flashable version of the old update.zip. You can find that at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608181
Looking at other threads, the OTA does make rooting no longer possible.

It is still 4.1.1, I'm back on 1.05.6(The stock CWM flashable one), Idk how I did this but i've been able to get CWM back on my device without rooting, I tried to modify boot.img to disable the install-recovery.sh script, this got me stuck in a bootloop but allowed me to flash CWM and the old firmware back in, I guess I got lucky
I got the stock kernel and the Rk30_sdk one to compile but I don't understand how to repack it in boot.img, bootloop everytime.
Thanks for the help anyway buddy.
We should make an all-in-one post for this device with firmwares, CWM, rooting options and stuff

I sort of started that in the 2nd or 3rd post here, titled "Useful Links".
I simply can't root this device.
Cydia Impactor responds with "signature bugs unavailable" and all this Chinese 1-click root stuff doesn't work at all.
Tried on Linux Mint and Windows 7 (both x64).
The problem might be my firmware, which is v1.05.18_user.
This is the stock firmware that was preinstalled on my tablet.
How can i downgrade the firmware?

Sorry I didn't see your post until now! I do not have the latest firmware on my tablet, so I haven't experienced this problem (I decided not to update after seeing the reports of people being unable to update. @math_green20 somehow managed to get it downgraded, but I do not know exactly how he did it. You might be able to figure out something from the previous posts in this thread.
Have a great day!

hi JRC2,
Im having HP slate 7Voice tab 6102 RA whether this is 2800 or other version
What is the Rom available for this tab
Xtreamer Wonder - Android media player
Rooting guide
DISCLAIMER
Everything you decide to do with your device is at your own risk.
I take no responsibility for any damage caused by any of your root-related activities.
Introduction
This guide will help you to gain root on your Xtreamer Wonder Android media player.
It has been tested and confirmed working on all firmwares currently available.
How it works
Rooting method takes advantage of amlogic system update facility that can be activated using
Reset button. Rooting package contains my special modified version of original recovery image that installs all the necessary root components during recovery boot.
Highlights
- easy to use
- low risk of bricking - possible to reset device whenever needed
- won't void warranty - unroot possible by simply resetting device
- won't wipe any system or user data
- won't replace original recovery
Requirements
USB stick/SD card formatted as fat32 (NTFS will not work).
In case procedure below fails try to use smaller USB stick/SD card up to 4GB.
Instructions
1) Download proper rooting ZIP package matching the version of Android system installed on your Wonder (Kitkat or Lollipop)
2) Extract ZIP package directly to the root of micro SD card/USB stick and insert micro SD card/USB stick back into Wonder.
3) Turn off Wonder and unplug power cable
4) Disconnect all other devices from USB ports (including airmouse receiver)
5) Use paper clip to push reset button located below Ethernet connector
6) Plug in power cable keeping reset button pressed until device boots into recovery; then release reset button
7) Recovery should show either "Wiping" or just a progress bar without text
DO NOT PANIC, NOTHING WILL ACTUALLY BE WIPED APART FROM CACHE
DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS.
Wait patiently for couple of minutes for the process to finish, Wonder will reboot automatically.
Next steps are necessary for older KitKat firmwares only. In Lollipop fw, SuperSU will be installed during rooting process automatically.
8) After reboot, use play store to install SuperSU by Chainfire
9) Open SuperSU and confirm to update su binary when asked (choosing Normal method)
In case rooting fails
Grab supersu.log from /data/local/tmp directory on Wonder filesystem and attach it within this thread.
In case your file manager app is unable to navigate to that directory, you can use terminal emulator app to cd to that
directory and use copy command to copy out the log to /sdcard where you can access it from file manager app.
Unrooting instructions
Flash original firmware following Xtreamer's standard firmware upgrade instructions.
This will wipe all user data!!!

AFAIK, it's not currently possible as OpenELEC does not officially support AmLogic chips.
There are some ports for AmLogic here on XDA but not sure whether compatible with Wonder.
Btw, I have built custom clockworkmod recovery for Wonder so it would be possible to flash different system if people want to get adventurous It's currently experimental but I have successfully made a nandroid backup/restore test with it.

Yesterday xtreamer released a new firmware (see in the forums) and i could not resist to experiment a little bit, because i was now safe that i have something for recovery. So i took an Openelec build from Kerber (google for kerber openelec) for the 812 chipset and replaced the the wonder firmware and flashed the openeelec build. You simply need to exchange the zip file.
System is coming up and so far everything was working fine, network, moview, audio, however, and thats the reason why i have gone back to android, the air mouse control buttons are not properly mapped and after some time the system begins to stutter. But I assume this ws coming from pressing different buttons at once. I hope someone will do some reconfig for the airmouse.
Flashing back to the wonder firmware was not problem.
Thanks for your job. I've rooted my wonder but now Kodi doesn't work. How about?
I don't think root has anything to do with kodi working or not. My stock xbmc works just fine. What are the symptoms?
@c0ldsun
Thanks for sharing your experience. I was afraid of flashing openelec as the installation package also replaces bootloader which could brick device easily and prevent reset from working
The stock XBMC work fine but the new Kodi for HEVC video file doesn't open when i start it and stay on black screen

I had too many issues on Kodi 14 even before rooting. Lag, black screen which could be solved only with reboot. That's why I went back to stock XBMC.
Of course but stock XBMC doesn't read HEVC h265 file
Thx for the root image, works fine!
But I am unable to write to the external sd-card, I tried to fix the permissions.xml but it did not work.
("SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD" from Google Play Store can not solve the problem.)
Can you write to the external sd-card? Any idea for a fix?
I was thinking we can solve this kitkat limitation with root permission....
Thanks for your help!
Greeting,
Wille
Yeah, it's kind of weird. I couldn't make it work either. Seems like ext SD is mount read-only so permissions.xml fix is not enough. After doing some tests I found out I can only write to SD when I use terminal to issue:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /storage/external_storage/sdcard1
The same issue I experience in my custom built clockworkmod recovery. I can't make backups to external SD. I believe there's something at kernel level driver that makes SD card mounting always read-only.
boot loop
Hi, where i cant get stock rom?
Any idea?

Have you found a solution to your problem yet?
BTW, which version of the smartphone are you using? Europe/USA/carrier etc... ?
hey there soft-man !
obviously you found a a solution to install twrp on the h410, i saw it at http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=682101
could you please make a small tutorial in english and post it here ?
.. and reupload the tools we need to install twrp (LG_H410__Flash_Recovery.rar) << dead link
i already installed root and crashed my device by deleting to the wrong system app ... reinstall fw via lg flash tool fails
now twrp is my only hope !
thanks a zillion !!!
If there is a chance to root the LG h410, i totally supportswitcher's request for a english tutorial and new links for the tools needed. Thanks in advance
+1 for translation from Russian forum
once again: does anybody here managed to (re)flash the firmware on the h410 ?
my device is trapped at the android logo ;(
what i did is unsuccessfully tried to flash a *.kdz with flashtool 2014. lg bridge is aborting update and lgup shows device not supported
download modus is available but cant connect device via adb.
any help is greatly appreciated
Ok, after spending a few hours on my LG smart wine (EU version) and with the help of the guys on 4PDA, here is my little how to for rooting our LG H410:
Beware, I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong with the manipulation on your phone and all this was only possible thanks to the people over at 4PDA.ru, thanks to them! I am/was on firmware V10e-EUR-XX official.
1) Use Kinguser apk to get root on your device (don't worry, you can uninstall it later through superSU).
2) Install Flashify and backup your current/original recovery. You'll need to be root to use flashify, that's why we need #1) first. You'll find flashify on the play store.
3) Install TWRP recovery either through flashify or with flash.bat found in LG_H410__Flash_Recovery.rar (this one will be russified, but you can always go through flashify and install the english version afterwards !EDIT!: Since the file was too large to upload, I took the russian recovery.img out of the zif archive. You'll will have to unpack it, copy the recovery_en.img provided after having renamed it to recovery.img, and it should work).
4) Install latest stable or Beta superSU.zip (search google for the official maintainer/version and copy it on your microSD card) from within TWRP.
5) Restart the phone
6) If you open superSU, it will ask you possibly to update the binaries and then to uninstall the other software that might interfere (it's Kinguser). So just say yes and it will take care of everything.
7) (optional) If you're like me needing more storage place on your device, install Link2SD from the play store. If I'm right, you'll need to have a second partition on your SD card (Ext4 file system), after the Fat32 one, to be able to move your apps to the SD card with Link2SD. I even bought the Plus version in order to be able to move the whole app.
You can use MiniTool Partition Wizard Free to set your partitions on th card. Add the new primary partition in Ext4 AFTER the Fat32 one, otherwise windows won't recognise your card.
I forgot to backup my stock recovery before flashing the new one, but all should be fine for you if you do it in the order above.
You have to unpack recovery_en.zip and flash the .img you have in the folder, don't flash the zif through TWRP, it won't work. And don't forget to rename it to recovery.img if you use it within the LG_H410__Flash_Recovery folder.
Once again, thank the people who did the job over at 4PDA, especially Soft-Man for trying out things, they did all the work. I'll try to attach the files needed here.
Hope it will help someone, have fun with your phone!
Sure it is interesting .... just one wuestion ... what about if i stop after step 1? If kinguser gets me root i personally don't have any need to go further ...
Of course you can, if you want to keep the official recovery (probably better if you want to be able to install official OTA updates).
I would still install SuperSU through flashify though (I think you can do so without having a modded recovery installed, but I'm not sure), and get rid of Kinguser the way I described it. Thing is I don't really trust those rooting apk, you never know what they install and what they keep track of on your phone... Not sure what's left of it when you uninstall it either.
Tell us how it worked for you.
:laugh:

You have to unpack recovery_en.zip and flash the .img you have in the folder, don't flash the zif through TWRP, it won't work. And don't forget to rename it to recovery.img if you use it within the LG_H410__Flash_Recovery folder.
Once again, thank the people who did the job over at 4PDA, especially Soft-Man for trying out things, they did all the work. I'll try to attach the files needed here.
Hope it will help someone, have fun with your phone!

Thank you very much.
When I work as the indicated method from you, root has come. (LGS01 of a Japanese local edition of H410).
By the way I can't start bootloader moode in LGS01, can you start it in H410?
When it's done, please tell me the way which can be done.
I'd like to use LGS01 by a DIAG mode.
(I'd like to add a frequency.).

Of course you can, if you want to keep the official recovery (probably better if you want to be able to install official OTA updates).
I would still install SuperSU through flashify though (I think you can do so without having a modded recovery installed, but I'm not sure),

Yeah, i get it. My goal is just to get root and being able to install titanium backup. No need for further modding. I will investigate about installing SuperSU through flashify with stock recovery.
:good:
still looking for a way to flash my bricked h410
..sorry to bother you guys, but where else to ask for help if not at xda ?
After finally reactivating my phone i like to share some bugs in stock firmware.
First of all LED notification: Is there a workaround for the blinking time, i find 15 seconds are much to long, i like to have 2 seconds. Tried some third party apps but the ideal solution would be by modyfing the stock app.
Second the T9: Its horrible ! Is there a way to switch it off ? By deleting the XT9. apk i totally messed it up and only have the numbers left.
Third of all, the keyboard .. Is there a good alternative with bigger (resizable) keys. Currently am using big buttons keyboard but am not really happy with it
I try to root LG H410 (EU version) but after installing Kinguser apk, root was not available so Flashify rapport an error about impossibility to access root.
My version of software is V10c-260-01
hi.. I just bought axon mini from China, is it possible to root this device? I wanted to install gapps to pla COC.. my android version is 5.1.1
thanks in advance..

Try a few more, that's the only choice now unless you build a prerooted firmware or recovery for rooting
still not rooted..

Root Done, Solved
Gents, I just got this phone (Axon Mini, B2016, Totally English ROM) less than a month ago and managed to root it and to replace kingroot with SuperSU, perfect.
Can't find a custom recovery yet though, I looked everywhere, so no Xposed so far. But the Phone is pretty good after tweaking the governor and removing crap (touchpal keyboard and other stuff)
I had managed to root the phone once, but after playing with link2SD (I liked it to use to managed apps) it turned out that link2D destroyed and deleted the entire system/app folder, do not use this app on this phone, it doesn't suppert 64 bit either, it cannot even freeze apps at all. So......
I found the official ROM, and flashed it with the stock recovery......everything back to the beginning. I'm not sure where I found it, but I do have the file on the SD card and on my PC at home.
However I after 1 million attempts to root it again with every single "one click" root app, I gave up. I was away on holidays so I decided to wait til I was back home to try via PC.
Back home, once again I failed 258 times.....nearly giving up again.....than.....Eureka.....
Basically:
- Install PC king root on your COMPUTER as well as the phone driver (on my PC it installed automatically, no download needed)
- in dev options, debug on and bootloader unlocked.
- here is the magic trick.....when plugging to the PC choose "install driver option", and NOT "media device MTP" or any other option.
- Run the King root app and press ROOT.......done......finally.
If you got it right you should be very lucky and certainly relieved!!!!! what a pain!!! very little on the web.
Now, not being used with kingroot, I felt uncomfortable with it as I always had SuperSU.
but before the next step, I'd like to say that I found, in the end, Kingroot a more feature rich app. It had done so far a good job as a SU app, plus it gives you the option to turn ON/OF (safely) most of the app receivers, which can be used to stop undesirable apps to wake up the phone. I did not used the "purify" app though and I found I don't really need it, but it isn't a bad app either and looked very professional.
But if you still want to replace it with super SU, it is DEAD EASY, in 2 steps.
- google and download an app called SuperSU Me.apk (my version was 6.7(64), and the actual package name is darkslide.com.supersume), run it and that is done. Kingroot will disappear and super SU will be installed.....sooooo easy.
- now you can go to playstore and update superSU, it WILL install the binaries fine via NORMAL method. Reboot and smile.
Done, no recovery needed.
But now I would consider you THE MASTER if you can come up with a custom recovery (kernel 3.10.49) so I could try install Xposed.......I miss gravitybox sooo much.
Cheers

AXON MINI (B2016).....GUESS WHAT? XPOSED INSTALLED......up and running... gravity box works perfectly.....menu button on Nov bar and everything
amazing.
no recovery yet.
download flashfire....from chain fire, obviously!, exposed.zip.....sdk22 (arm 64bit)
tried once it went black and never back......volume + & power for 10 secs
then I tried again ticking "auto mount" option.
stuck on the the boot logo for far more than usual, ~3mins, then it run some command lines for while then the logo move ahead. reboot again and it seems the dalvik cache had been cleared.....updating 205 apps.. 10 minutes later...... done. simple but my heart was pumping hard!
please note I had super SU and not king root.
axon mini b2016, international ROM.
cheers.

i mean I did all that without a custom recovery.....stock one is still there but pretty useless so far other than for flashing stock ROM.
to make this phone simply perfect I still need a custom ROM to be able to backup my OS. but as long as I don't mess the system up....I already have all i need.
---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------
phone is now smooth like butter. no lag at all. it seems xposed actually made it faster on its own.
even the gallery,which was lagging a bit is just fine now.

Hi all,
I have a Wiko Rainbow Jam (which is provided with the stock rom "Wiko Rainbow Jam version 8", Android Lollipop 5.1 and the latest updates from Wiko), is about a week that I attempt to root my phone, but I am unable to do this operation, since I am totally unable to mount the /system as RW, and furthermore the bootloader is locked.
Firstly I found this method which consist to write/flash the TWRP custom recovery in place of the original one:
Root method 1
(sorry for the Google Translate link, but I cannot find the same how-to in English)
Which seems similar to this how-to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63803008&postcount=5
But seems that these two methods will wipe/erase everything on my phone, and I would avoid this risk.
I also read that by flashing another custom recovery I will be unable to install updates from Wiko.
Then I tried this method using adb which is more simple:
https://f-droid.org/forums/topic/tutorial-how-to-root-an-android-device/
But when I launch the "adb root" command, all that I get is "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"; so I attempted various workarounds to "fix" adb, but all unsuccesfully.
I have to mention the fact that I have some skills in using Linux and the shell commands: maybe there would be a way to place the "su" binary on my Phone using Linux on my computer, by logging on the phone as root user, by acquiring the needed privileges?
Any help/suggestion/hints would be very appreciate! :good:
Kind regards.
I have a mtk6580 phone and also had the root issues, for a while I used kingroot, which rooted fine but I didnt trust it. Then I used supersume to get rid of kingroot which seemed to work but again, wasnt 100% it was all gone. Followed a similar guide to your first link which wasnt working. What worked for me was:
Download the twrp recovery .img file
rename it to recovery.img
open SPflash tools
add your own scatter file from your stock rom
deselect all the boxes except recovery
double click the recovery address box and find the renamed recovery.img
click download
plug your turned off phone in,
let it flash.
reboot into recovery
select reboot system
TWRP will tell you its not rooted and ask to install superSU
swipe for yes
reboot and you are rooted.
NO DATA LOSS
Thank you for this detailed how-to! However, for me, nor kingroot, kingoroot, framaroot and no other apk worked on my phone, so I will attempt to try your method, but first I have some questions:
1): On my phone, under SETTINGS > DEVELOPER OPTIONS, I can see the option “OEM unlocking”: I have to enable this option to permit the flashing of the TWRP img?
2): Is ok to download TWRP from here? dl.twrp.me/i9300/twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar.html
3): "add your own scatter file from your stock rom":
where I can get/grab such file?
4): "TWRP will tell you its not rooted and ask to install superSU":
so TWRP is already provided with the SuperSU utility?
5): To be sure to avoid any risk, here I have a backup of my phone, which was done using "adb backup -apk -shared -all"; in case of emergency I will be able to restore my phone using this backup?
Many thanks for your attention! :good:

Ok, seems that such file was available in the first link:
s000.tinyupload.com/download.php?file_id=53888272183191245346&t=5388827218319124534686744
is called MT6580_Android_scatter.txt , can you take a look and tell me if is ok?
Many thanks!
1) cant hurt to turn it on, however the phone will be flashed whilst turned off so dont know if its needed, but Im sure I wouldve enabled it.
2) and 3) I dont know what your exact model number etc.. is for your phone, so the twrp you would have to find and check yourself, go here: http://www.needrom.com/category/others/u-v-w-x-y-z/brands-w/wiko/ and you can try to get a twrp from there, and definetely get a stock rom. Use the scatterfile from an 'SP TOOLS FLASHABLE STOCK/UPDATE ROM'
4) yes
5) I dont know, I dont use adb and wouldnt like to say its OK. You can use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=en which will make a TWRP or CWM backup of your entire phone which you can then flash in TWRP or CWM once they are flashed, or get all the data from the backup. I would advise to find this out before trying though, just in case. I personally didnt lose any data, flashed twrp in SPtools, took 5 seconds, rebooted, added SU, rebooted, took 2 minutes and everything was still there.

it has to be a scatter file from your exact model of phone, as everything has to match, partitions, nvram...etc... loads of things that can go wrong if the scatter is wrong

I went there, but my model is not listed.. As I stated in the subject is a Wiko Rainbow Jam: if i search for Rainbow Jam is such link, no model is displayed..

I got the scatter file in the first link "Root method 1", where there is the how-to for my exact model.
ah right, in that case, its OK

Ok: it was painless differently from what I thought: now, following your advice (I used the TWRP and the scatter file from the first link) my phone is nicely provided with the root access
EDIT: was necessary to activate the “OEM unlocking” option under SETTINGS > DEVELOPER OPTION, without this option activated, I was unable to flash the TWRP recovery img.
Many thanks!
p.s: If a moderator see this post, feel free to add [RESOLVED] to the title of this thread, since I cannot edit the title.
Glad it worked lots of guides I saw also made it excessively complicated, this way took you what? 2 minutes? And am guessing all your data is safe and untouched.

Yeah, it took about 2 minutes, just the time to figure out that I needed the USB OTG cable with an usb mouse and to browse to the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76.zip file (as I said I used the TWRP posted in the first link, which doesn't work with the touch screen).
I want to say thank you again for your friendly assistance!
