Bought the HP printer that came with the Zeen because it seemed like a good idea.
its a not so bad setup that would be much better with a more capable tablet. the Zeen is a flaming turd.
I'd like to port the specific apps first to my old Nook Color making it a dedicated device.
I'm not a total n00b to Linux, command line, and hacking some Android but this is much more .
ideas and help on accomplishing this is appreciated.
did you find anything about the zeen i want to flash a new rom but i dont see nothing about it anywhere

Nope nothing, The tablet itself isn't worth much at all.
You can root the thing. Had one of them a while back, was OK, HERE is where i left it at that time. The kids loved it, it was sturdy. Google is your friend

Hi All
Just arrived at this place after doing a Google search. To be honest I am not sure what I want to do with this phone! I got given it by a mate who thought I might like to play with it! It has a couple of scratches in the screen!
Anyway, I thought I would have a go at installing Linux on the device. But after reading various bits I am not any the wiser! I generally use a Mac but I do have an Ubuntu box and access to an xp box. What I would like to do is install linux as an os on the XDA II. What are the links to do this please? I have never done anything like this, so I'll be walking in the dark, is ti going to be possible? Or do I need a degree in technical stuff?
Any help would be much appreciated or maybe there is someone in the uk who has a better idea of what to do with this phone!
Thanks.

Hi all, I have been trying to find a starting point for learning about programming. I have a wallaby and purchased XDA Tools a year or so ago, and like many I jumped into it with the idea of unlocking the sim features, long story short, I did not backup anything and tried to do it w/o a memory card and eventually I lost the bootloader and ended up with the black stripes with the two white boxes I have seen in others posts. I do not really care about its functionality as a phone, but is there anything else I could install such as games or another platform entirely? Just for a little practice, or fun? Thanks. Also you guys are truly rad for being as nice as you are about all of the repitition/noobs like me.

If you lost the bootloader, I don't know if there is anything that you can do with it. If you know how to do JTAG, you may be able to upload the bootloader that way, but I don't know enough about that to guide you. Sorry, but I think that you are going to end up having it for spares... Also, you bought xda Tools? I thought that was free from this site
Thanks Thunder1, I bought it as a sim unlocking package for wallaby specifically, at the time I had no idea that xda had a site and before I could even navigate the web really. Go figure, I want to flash and hack before I even know how to use basic features on my device, I will look into the j tag method you mentioned and hopefully I can use the j tag cable I got for my wrt54gtm router, I dont have a clue but I just keep reading. Thanks much.

Hello there, Since I am somewhat poor and I´m still under my parents wing... I upgrade phones about every 5 years, (well at least until I start working) so i was really outdated with phones but i did my homework and got to the conclusion that Android based phones are the best price x performance/ features.. specifically Motorola brand around the $200 mark so my decision was between the Droid 3, Photon 4g & Atrix 4G.. I decided for the Atrix with the lapdock which i think is the best feature until now!
This it my first smartphone ever! laugh at this.. I´m upgrading form a Motorola Rokr em35 which i remember that i bought for $180 because it was a music player based phone that had a 3.5mm headphone jack! and now i bought the atrix with the lapdock for $250 on eBay.
Im just learning how to use the phone I´m hoping for some guidance on some things i should and shouldn't do!
first off.. My phone is blocked.. so Im thinking about buying an unlock code for about $2 since its blocked in my country (Dom. Rep.) ,, hows that about?
i want to learn all about the cool stuff i can do with the phone.
learn about custom roms and themes... Ive heard theres roms that are really optimized for the Atrix 4G and even overclocked!! but i dont want to loose the webtop ability?
I heard that you can make a partition on a micro sd and install a Full Ubuntu OS ... which im most exited about! even thought ive never used linux!
Luckily im into computers since I study computer science/engineering and these things shouldn't be hard for me to learn.
im really eager to get on to this stuff and I hope i can get somebody to guide and help me though all this! i hope this is the right place
Before doing any unlocking, or custom roms, etc. READ, RE-READ IT, THEN READ IT ALL AGAIN. until you understand what you are doing.
as for ubuntu ( linux ) on your phone, you said that you never used linux before. I would learn the basics with linux, on a computer, before slapping it on your phone and not understading the OS. But thats up to you. its just easier to learn it on a pc from start, rather than on a phone that you dont even understand yet.
No question here, is a dumb question, so ask away, ( just remember to search before asking so ya dont get the crap flammed out of ya )
once ya start learning linux, you will love it. its better than windows.
Good Luck!

thanks, I´ll read as much as I have to.. can you post me some good links on these sfuff.. but first i wanna unlock and root the phone. I seen vendors on ebay that provide you with an unlock code for your IMEI. should i do that¿
edit: btw i am familiar with ubuntus UI since Ive used it a few times but never had it personally for me so i dont now things like commands lines and that advanced stuff. i just like the idea of using the lapdock as a notebook and not being limited by the ROM/OS ... would be good for collage.

the wiki has most the guides, roms, and other stuff listed out, and its mostly up to date.. you should definitely read through the noob guide first because it has all the terminology you'll be seeing throughout the rest of the forums
If you want to keep your webtop the roms I would recommend are darkside or wetdream, both by Nottach..they have a ton of great features..of course there are others and I recommend you go through all of them and find whats right for you..just avoid cyanogen mod(CM7, CM9) based roms because they do not include webtop or any close alternative for now
Just remember, take your time on rooting and unlocking your bootloader, because you can really mess things up, but after that everything else should be pretty easy..
And don't worry too much about your rom selection, if you back everything up properly you should be able to switch roms in under an hour, so you can try out many different roms before settling on which one you like best(such a hard choice!)

thanks so much for being kind with this noob
It can't be overstated though. READ. I've been toying with my Atrix for a couple of months now, and came close to bricking my phone since I didn't read it all. By all I don't mean only posts about the developer, but problems people have encountered with their specific atrix model.
You've got to read a lot though.
The Atrix was my first Android and I have to say I couldn't be happier with the level of customisation you can get.

Okay, I know I'm supposed to search seven hells (watching too much Game of Thrones) before I post my question. The intro video was clear enough about that. But no, nothing helped. So here goes....
Hi guys,
My HCL ME V1 tablet (ICS 4.0.4, kernel 3.x.x, rooted with ME U1 root via SuperOneClick. Several forums said that this root would work for V1 as well) is stuck in a boot loop. The rest button does not solve the problem, neither does a hard reset (it simply does not go into hard reset from all the methods suggested online across various forums). I scoured heaven and earth to find how to go into recovery for this particular tablet but none of the solutions work.
The power button works only once when it's in 100% charge (green light on the top corner of lcd). After that I have to wait for it to get discharged completely and recharge it once again. All those tips of pressing the volume up and/or down button along with the power/home button and the reset pinhole... none of them worked in my case. I know its a corrupted OS issue and I can solve it. Only if I could somehow get the tablet to boot once or get into recovery or download mode. I know it for a fact that the power button i fine because... again... I stand witness to the fact that the tablet has not experienced any physical shock what-so-ever since the day it was bought. Also not to forget it works once when the tab is in 100% charge.
I can see two scenarios by which the problem might have started:
1. I downloaded FL Studio Mobile apk and its dlc from pirate bay. I copied the apk to the internal SD card (straight on the sd card not inside any folder), and the dlc was instructed to be copied to sdcard/Android/obb. The uploader had said that if the obb folder was not there, I had to create it and so I did and copied. Halfway through the dlc copy, my laptop hanged. So I terminated the process from taskmgr and disconnected my tab from the "disconnect from USB storage" page on the tablet.
2. Next I opened Android Tweaker (Pro?) to tweak a few parameters so that FL Studio Mobile could run a bit lag free. I'm not a power user so, I just used the auto-tweak feature for the performance settings. Next I rebooted via the app and lo! The tablet is now stuck in an eternal boot cycle loop.
I'm an electronic musician and like to have these apps on my devices so that I can make music on the go.
Also one thing I should mention is that while rooting the /bin/su file could not be executed, however installing Titanium Backup Pro (Root) had solved that problem as there was an option in that app to fix it.
Sorry for the long post :cyclops: but I think my problem is somewhat peculiar if not unique. No body else's solution is working and I think there are not many Indians who use the V1 tablet.
Solved
Thank you everyone for not replying to this post. You may have thought that the solutions existed in someone else's answers. But NO. None of anyone else's solutions worked.
I thought this was a place full of experts, but I guess you people are way too busy with your own stuff to really help others which is the purpose of this forum.
Anyways, I solved the problem. The tablet works fine, in fact it works even faster. And just to rub it in HCL's face, I've upgraded the internal memory and RAM. Yes I resoldered the PCB. Removed all the bloatware and useless stuff from our dear beloved Indian manufacturer.
But I'm not going to share how I solved this issue. None of you took the time to reply, so non of u will get this piece of knowledge upgrade. Funk you very much :victory:

Hey bro,
I am newbie with this HCL V1 tablet and it sucks a lot to use this. I got it sent to HCL store for repairing (to flash) just after 3 days I ordered it.
As you are the user of this tab you should be very well known to the problems this tab comes with. Even its not playing the Subway Surfer game smoothly, wt the hell with 1 GB RAM.
So please suggest me the twiks for this tab as like working rooting, global or transparent proxy (needs in college campus because in college wifi works only with default browser with no download at all (only in androids, downloads in symbian, iOS) probably because download runs with external app by default in androids as it shows differently in notification bar about the download progress).
Please help me to resolve these problems.
Thank you.

You are proving to the world how racist Indians are to each other nothing else. And I'm not a Bori wherever the **** they are from. Its Borah you "madarchod ki aulad hindustani" Of course now you will report this to the admin and I will get banned from this site. Or you're gonna throw your cheap sounding Indian abuses at me, or you will try to act like a smartass and type a nice sophisticated sounding comeback to make people sympathize with you. What else can your beta-male-Indian-ass do? Either way, you are insignificant to me and whatever you say is invalid in my world. And thank you for quoting me because finally I got a notification from this website.
For the rest of the people-
This thread is almost one year old now if you know how to read the English calendar. The FB account that was linked to this has been deleted almost a year ago. I don't exactly remember the solution but I cracked open the tablet, took out the ROM, took it to a friend who burns ROMs.
This tablet was meant for my dad which is why it pissed me off no end that it should malfunction. Eventually I threw this piece of **** in the trash and got him a Samsung tab that works the way it is meant to work.
My advice - save some money and buy a higher end android tab and your life will be much more peaceful. Unlike iOS where the hardware platform is pretty much standard, the wide variety of configurations on which android is installed is the main culprit here. You want smooth performance, less lag, and bug free performance, and easily available non-factory support? Honestly start saving money and get a better brand tab. No where else in the world do people push these cheap ass tablets so hard other than the third world.
I understand you all want the best bang for your buck but understand what "best" is first.
Now, you'll can crucify me in your replies if you want. I don't give two ****s about it. Peace out homos!
Calm Down Bro ...
thande thande raho bhai jaan ...

Hi iam new to this I have hcl v1 tab I want to root it but you told that you got stuck in a boot loop so can you tell me how to solve it in case I also get stuck it .how to install the stock firmware by using Android stock recovery.i know to get in stock recovery but no download mode.i am just 12 .please help me.
First of all I would like to say i have done a lot of reading both here and on Lenovo forums where unfortunately files and threads disappear I have done this reading long time ago and back then it wasn't possible to install Windows on the Android version of the tablet, however now after two years it seems it could be possible I see some threads about installing Windows on Yoga Books so maybe the situation around tablets evolved an its already possible.
I'm able to take some risks as the tablet is completely used at the moment and it will stay that way until it runs Windows, which i need to utilize the tablet car diagnostics which only run under windows. It would be really cool to make this work as I dont want to lave one tablet utilized and buying a new one cheap one for 100$.
Thx for your inputs !

Hey there. Have found any way to do it? If so, it will be very kind of you if you send the links and instructions. I've done some research myself. Yet no results.
