Anybody have one of these? I recently got my hand on one, and the estation c1650 printer also, and wondering if there is anybody else with on, would like root, and or wipe the device and get ride of the stupid HP touchsmart UI. it would be a dream to run a galaxy tab rom or something. I though i saw a galaxy tab floating around? a system dump maybe? But any help would be appreciated.
I was able to install Astro, launcher Pro, angry birds, and dropbox, so it kinda got rid of the touchsmart UI, but I would like to get root access. I have tried easyroot, and i click root, the droid x method, and nothin seems to work..
How did you install apps?
I also have one of these. How did you install the applications listed above. I don't believe these are supported by HP.
go and download launcher pro, find the .apk online, put it on your sd card, and from the files app install it, and then push the home button, click on launcher pro, and set it to default, and then you are able to find the a.pk online fo apps and use them,
another question, i want to be able to get market access? any idea how to do this? i have tried various vending.apk's from different roms and such, but no luck
any help?
Thanks for the info.
I'll give it a try. I'd also like to have market. This will give me everything I want for now until 2.2 comes out.
Setup of Zeen without ink and printer setup
Can I set the zeen up without setting the printer up. It's not letting me out of the setup of the zeen without setting the printer up.
I'm a little interested in one of those. I love HP but not a fan of Yahoo. If this can be rooted, I'm definately going to look into upgrading my printer. LOL
recovery mode
Does anyone know how to book into recovery mode or bootloader?

i've tried about every combination of buttons, volume up/down/power, home, back, but to no avail. sigh..........
spangenberg - You mentioned on another site you got USB Debugging enabled, how did you do that? Or does anyone else know how to enable USB Debugging on the Zeen?
I got one one of these too. Using it now actually. Getting root would be awesome. Usb debugging is in settings. Tried a lot to get to recovery, no luck as well. Many apps will install though.
Hrmm, found it. Odd, I swear I looked all over for it. My guess is that we are stuck on the USB Drivers then for rooting. The Viewsonic G Tabet needed a USB driver hack to work. The HP Zeen uses a Freescale processor from what I've seen, so not sure how I'd setup the USB.
When trying to Root using SuperOneClick I get stuck at Waiting for Device with USB Debugging enabled. I grabbed the Android SDK, but there was no usb_drivers folder.
Trying to follow the steps in the Viewsonic G Tablet thread on XDA, that I can't link to cause I'm to new. >.<
Well, you can paste this behind the .com/ part to get to it:

Yea SuperOneClick was doing that to me as well. I don't know much about Freescale. I've also tried every ROOT tool in the marketplace, no luck. From what I have read, we need to find out how to boot it in bootloader first. From there I'm not sure what the next step is.
I have one too. Besides installing launcher pro, haven't gotten anywhere with it. If you hold down both volume buttons and the power button while booting it will bring up a menu to delete user data. Not sure if this is useful or not.
Well I got root. Sorta. It has su and some root stuff works, some don't. Kinda weird. I'm thinking that since it's not a phone, it can't give full root. but anyways, I'm not gonna tell you how I *cough*aquired* the app but I will give ya the name of it. It's called z4root. Actually, I just found it for free on the market. So, move apk to zeen and click away. My "development" doesn't go much further than this, sadly.
Thanks for the info on z4root. I couldnt get titanium backup to work though after i installed it. Said it couldn't get root access.

Yea, Like I said, some stuff works and some don't. I wish I knew where to go from here.
This may sound dumb, but i think someone should try to email hp support and tell them they need the driver for the zeen because windows will not install it automatically and you can not copy music to it. They may send the driver we need to put it in usb debugging mode, you never know. I would try but I am at work and you have to have the serial number for support.
Apps and printing
I'm thinking about getting one of these. My question is, what apps work, so far and will this still work for printing after you hack it. My understanding is that you need the tablet in order to print.
Thanks.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828&highlight=photon
Has anyone been able to get this on a rooted/locked Mopho? I have not been having success and there are reports in the referenced thread of it not working, but also someone saying their Atrix works (and we know the Atrix ~ Photon).
I can confirm it does not work on photon blur builds. I'm very familiar with the app and it was a staple in all my ROMS. This is not an app that can run from /data/app and knowing that, i downloaded the apk, moved to /system/app, set the permissions, rebooted .... no go.
I was previously having problems pushing the apk via adb, so this time I moved it using ES File Explorer (turned the root explorer piece on), changed permissions, and rebooted and it worked. I am currently using ADW Ex.
I'm on a blur build and it works just fine.
I'm on 2.3.5 and i've rebooted a couple times because i was working on some stuff and still no go. Checked blurhome and adw ex.
So i did some quick troubleshooting and figured out appwidgetpicker v2 does not work. Appwidgetpicker-1.2.3 works fine
Mystery solved.
OK, so I'm possibly the biggest idiot to ever own an Android. I rooted my SGH-T959d via SuperOneClick a few months ago and decided to remove bloatware, along with stock keyboard, and "my files". I kept the original launcher. Just an hour ago, I was playing around with my phone trying to flash a ROM through CWM recovery (which didn't work due to the infamous signature verification problem) and I managed to do a factory reset. Now, all of my old apks - including root file explorer and hacker's keyboard - are on the external sd, and I have no idea how to view them to reinstall them. I am also stuck without stock internet and wifi has a password; therefore requiring a keyboard which I do not have.
I've tried going on Google Play on my laptop and sending new apps to my device, but I can't re-register on my phone due to lack of keyboard. I am freaking out so much I'm surprised I'm typing.

Thanks, but I forgot ThinkFreeOffice also suffices as a file explorer. I'll load a keyboard apk into my external sd and go from there.

Sorry to bother you with an old question, and a noob one for you maybe.
But how did you solved your problem? I'm in prety much the same predicament, but with my tablet. It's a Brazilian, unknown model (Tectoy Octopus TT-2800), so I can't find any roms for it, stock or not
Did you succeeded in installing a keyboard? How? I'm only having access to the configurations menu, can't launch Google play or even if I managed, I couldn't login in it or access the WiFi cause I don't have a keyboard to input the password. And the damn thing doesn't even have mobile internet cause it's WiFi only.
I did research about this ThinkFreeOffice you mentioned, but don't know how to use it to launch the keyboard apk. I actually managed to copy the swiftkey, Titanium Backup and root explorer apks in the sd card, both internal and external via usb cable from my laptop.
I will be grateful for any insight you may have
Cheers
Marcel
PLEASE HELP SOON, doing this as a BIRTHDAY GIFT for my younger cousin (I also bought a case protector too) He works 2 part-time jobs while still in school and doesn't have time to mod or time to deal with troubleshooting the install. He's a really good guy and cares for his parents and younger sister; he works really hard to pay for what he has and even sends some money back home to help out since money is tight for them.
I feel bad for him and want to do this for him. His birthday is coming up
-Help, Safestrap version 3.11 doesn't work after installed on rooted phone (Droid Razr spyder XT912 CDMA)
When I click on the Safestrap app a window pops up and it says "Unfortunately, Safestrap has stopped" with the only option of clicking "ok" button- this then closes the app entirely before Safestrap can open up.
*I've installed and erased Safestrap 4 times already, and boot the phone in Recovery Mode to clear the cache each time. I used the "adb" in the Android SDK to install Safestrap into the phone, and noticed that it was installed in a temp folder each time.
*I've rooted the phone 2 times already with Razr Blade program and it says it's "successfully rooted" each time
HOW DO I FIX THIS? Safestrap is stopping me from being able to go on with Cyanogenmod 10.1 steps. It's so frustrating
you sure it's rooted? do you have superuser app?
try installing the apk in normal way like copying / installing with airdroid or dropbox.
i keep all my apps on dropbox.
Figured it out

THANKS SO MUCH!! You're AWESOME. :highfive: After checking out your question- It turned out that the phone wasn't rooted because there's no superuser app and also I downloaded a root checker app and it said that I didn't have root access. The Razr Blade said the process was a success but I did noticed that a part of it didn't have the files or folder it needed to clear up, and the second time around I hard reset it to factory settings, and then actually rooted it using Razr Blade and it did have the necessary folder/files to clear up. Afterwards, I saw that I had the superuser app. Thanks for the dropbox advice too.
The phone is now completely modified with CM10.1.2.
Hello all i have a problem and im hoping that someone has some answers for me. First off im new to rooting and i used my old motorola xoom for a test subject. the specs are moto xoom-android verison is 4.1.2- kernal version is 2.6.39.4-g4e32b94, and the build number is jz054k, i am also using windows 8.1 on my pc if that makes a difference, if there is any other info you need please let me know.
The problem is this, i used a root instuctional vid off of you tube, said that it was for any type of xoom, I followed this guide and went through the whole process like butter. Everything booted back up and it looked diff as far as the way the apps handled and i was pleased to see that superuser ( the little android pirate with crossbones logo) had been added to my device. I then went to the play store and installed root checker and ran it, outcome was not good, i had not gained root acess to my xoom. i then thought i would just try and download a cheat engine for games and when i tried to run it i was denied saying that i must gain root acess to my device before using. i then rebooted and reinstalled zip file from boot menu again, still no success. i also went into boot menu again and clicked on permissions and let it run and then rebooted xoom and still no change. i also installed CWM superuser, I got it installed to my xoom sd and internal memory and then went back to reboot menu on xoom and ran it as it asked, im not sure if i done it correctly because in the post it said to run a recovery and im not sure on what that is. When i open up the superuser that is on my tablet, there are no apps or log info, when i got to settings and try to update superuser crashes everytime. So....if anyone can help i would appreciate it so much. Thank You.
