[Q] HP Slate 7 Extreme Root? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to the forum, but I just recently purchased a HP Slate 7 Extreme and I was wondering if there are any root methods other than vroot or kingo that would work with this tablet. Vroot works but XDA still considers it suspicious. There are methods for other Slate 7 models but not for this one (HP4400us). Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi ! You can try this method : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCpjNjrSLTw#t=0
It was tested on Slate 7 Plus but it should work for every HP tablet.
Just ask for translation of Youtube's subtitles if you can't understand french

Dude, is this tablet awesome? I'm actually quite excited to buy this tablet when it lands in the near future in my country (fingers crossed for that!). I know that this tablet is the HP's version of Tegra Note because they are similar one to another. I also know this tablet is insanely great for gaming, note taking, picture drawing, movie watching, etc. But what is the downside that you found on this tablet? Is its battery life any good? How long can it survive to play intensive games in the row without resting the screen?

Hi ! If you're talking about Slate 7 Plus I find it to be really good (decent LiPo battery, IPS screen, Tegra 3 SoC) for the price.
Slate 7 Extreme should be even better (but I never tried this one).

yeah any update on this?

I used the steps on this thread to root my S7E.

Bump.

I haven't updated it to 4.4 yet. thinking of rooting it instead. I heard that 4.4 disables microSD card support.

Yeah but once you root I believe there are ways to get around that.

Ah, I see. I'd love to root it, but is there a way to unroot? I got the tablet from my job & I want to unroot if they decide to ask for it back; which I doubt, but I don't want to risk it. Thanks for the info!

I'm not sure if HP has the kitkat recovery available for download but I do know that they had 4.3. Since I was rooted I had to manually update to 4.3 and then update to 4.4 ota. That caused me to lose root so I am assuming doing something like that would un root. Again I am just assuming.

yes, hp does have the kitkat recovery available for download. I downloaded it last night and flashed it and now I'm running kitkat. The only issue now is getting back my root. Lost my root after flashing.

I have tried a ton of methods to get root on 4.4, but none of them have worked. Do you know of a working one? or a way to downgrade back to 4.2.2? I would love to see this tablet get some more dev love.

I managed to root it using towelroot v1. Rooting doesnt work with the newer version of towelroot though. Just google for the towelroot apk, install it, run it and your HP S7E will be rooted! I'm amazed by how foolproof this method is. Give it a shot!

Did you try to flash a new recovery with Odin? I was told to only try an adb sideload root for now.
I can't even do that as I can't find the stock recovery image. Were you successful with your adb sideload root?

+1! Mine will arrive today.
+1 on wanting root for this new Galaxy Light. I just got mine yesterday.
I absolutely love the phone, especially considering the off-contract price. I liked my old LG Motion, but this blows it away.
I've been refreshing this thread for days hoping that we'd have root, and maybe start to see some custom ROMs, etc.
I will continue to do so. :fingers-crossed:
I too received this phone. It's a great phone for the money, can't go wrong for $150. It's like an S3 but with a low-res screen. What the S3 mini should have been.

Yep. So far it looks like it was great purchase. Virtually the same form factor and screen res as my old Glacier, which suited me perfectly - don't want to carry anything larger, but with faster processor, more memory & LTE (while still retaining Wi-Fi calling), with none of the Glacier's hardware glitches. I can even still use the Glacier belt clips that I modded for car mounts!
Anyway. Sorry I'm babbling off topic.
It could be a while to root or custom rom.
Hopefully, it won't be like my Exhibit I, no custom rom except for Area 51.

Just bought a iRola DX752 7" tablet

I want to build a android 4.4 kernel for my iRola DX752 7" tablet (formerly known as a Kocasco M752) using Eclipse ADT etc. but I am practically a newbee at this. I figure if I brick it I am only out $50. It currently runs Android 4.2.2 with system updates that I can't count on bringing me up to more current releases, and it runs a Rockchip RK2926 Cortex-A9 CPU with 512MB RAM, 2GB internal SD and a 16GB external SD card.
I have rooted a smart phone without bricking it, but that was with a couple three premade kernels to update with and can not find any for this make or model tablet.
Tablet
Well my friend.. I can help you with that but just a single question.. Is the tablet good? No problems at all? If is good I will buy and we can make even ROMs together...
Just tell me if the tablet is good and what problems you encountered using it.:highfive:
does this thing come unlocked? How hard is it to root and is there any roms?
irola
Let me know if you make a ROM. I want to buy this tablet but it seems like it lags and its slow on the stock 4.2.2 ROM.
Very nice tablet
I purchased two for my kids and one came in the other day. I am very surprised about how well it is made. It doesn't feel like a cheap tablet. I would also be interested in a custom rom for this as well.

I ordered one for my daughter for Christmas. It is still in it's original packaging and I was lurking here to see if anyone had ideas for rooting it. From the specs it seems to have decent hardware so I am confident that it should perform well even though we haven't tried it out yet. I gave her one of my older Viewsonic tablets that's rooted and with a custom ROM. I may buy another one of these iRola tablets if I like the core stock install and then I will join you in creating some root magic for it.. :angel:

If you are seriously thinking of rooting this hit me up we can work together. That makes 3 of us working on it. I was trying to hack it to install windows 8.
Did anyone get anywhere with this tablet? Mine came in this morning. It's a little sluggish, but I have decent hopes for it.

Has this development went any further? I'd also be happy to test or help build in any way that I can.
I just got one of these
I just got one of these for my daughter, but it has the Jellybean that has trouble with Wifi... it won't connect to my home Wifi router at all, and drops the connection regularly at work.
So, I want to get a different version of Android on this thing. Has anyone succeeded yet?
I doubt it's the hardware, as I have friends who had the same problem on their phones until they upgraded their version of Android.
I'm unfamiliar with development, but would also be happy to test. From what I can tell, this thing has a memory issue. We need to get something lighter on it.

Put me on the list of people curious about development for this device. Just picked one up as a gift for a my sister and agree it seems a little more sluggish than I thought it would. Also the screen resolution is kind of poor and was hoping that maybe changing the DPI could help if it were rooted.
i haven't received mine
I order mine back on Nov 22, I haven't received it. I've been itching to root this. Ugh come on N MR send me my tablet. Has anyone have problems with NMR shipping before. ????
Just got mine. It's so sluggish...
I don't understand how, even after a factory reset, this thing is ridiculously slow. I have googled and googled but I can't find any information on how to root this device or even if it's possible yet. I really wanna downgrade the software to something it's more comfortable running. Maybe 4.0.4?
If you haven't received your tablet I implor that you contact NMR ASAP. They didn't send my fiances mothers 3 irola 7" tablets ordered later Nov. until yesterday Dec. 23.
I will also be working on this tablet as I just got it as a present from her So make that 4.
I also just bought this tablet (irola dx752) running android 4.2.2. I have never had a tablet before but it does not seem slow or laggy. I am familiar with linux (someone asked that earlier in this thread) and I am interested in getting into android development. Also happy to test (not intending to brick of course).

[Q] LG G Vista - Root Request

I would also like to find a way to root LG VS 880 on Verizon. The "added security" Google added to the SD card really sucks. If they would loosen up the security to allow moving & deleting of audio, video & pics from within a file manager it might be ok? But the way it is right now makes the SD card worthless. Because my browser (dolphin) can't save to the SD card & there's very little free internal space. It would be different if the VS880 came with 16-32 free. But I had less the 4 free when I opened the box. Google you really did evil this time.

People keep referring to this thread but I have contacted Amazon about 6 times now and all 6 people told me there was absolutely no way that they could or ever would roll back your software. All 6 said once you upgrade to 4.5.1 there was no way what so ever for them to take you back. I even got a couple of emails from there tech support team stating this. So no, customer care will not roll back your software.
I had a very unsucessful back and forth between like 12 different people at Amazon with no success. I even provided a few apps in their store that will absoutely not run in 4.5.x (Quicken 2013 for example) and they had no interest in rolling me back. Though I did not have them explicitly state that a rollback was impossible. They just apologized that their forced software update was causing me grief and to deal with it.
Possible way to root. Was reading info on this vuln CVE-2014-7911 and it seems like it might be a way that KitKat could be rooted. It was patched in Lollipop. Just thought I would share.

The software really is the crippling factor, not the hardware. It's just sad that Amazon still can't see that and tries with every effort to lock down those that try to get around it.
whats the chance of upgrade?
Does anyone know what the chance of upgrade of 4.5.1 to stock android rom for fire hdx 7" and possible timeframe?
Is there anyone still working on it and are we just waiting for source code to try and find a way to unlock it.
I just picked up a fire hdx, but it came installed with 4.5.1 and the software is pretty unusable compared to my old jellybean tablet.
As a sidenote would it be worth trying to turn off ota updates so they are not kept ahead of any patch?
Damn this thread. I want my click back. lol

I just tried installing the Remote Play from Play Store and had no problem. So, you should be fine.
The Tablet Z4 with Sony's OS is definitely slow. That's the reason why I installed the custom ROM.

I wish Sony would update this - more ram, new processor, maybe better battery life if possible. Sounds like they gave up on the tablet market which sucks.
I just want a 10.1" or greater modern tablet that is waterproof, with an unlockable boot loader and some custom rom support. Unless a great announcement comes out soon, I may be going samsung and researching waterproof cases.

Thanks. Do you think the kernel helped with that? I'm interested in "updating" the software somehow, but AndroPlus isn't supported anymore. I'm already out of practice with rooting and all that and don't want to risk ruining a device that was already pretty hard to find.

I don't think so. It'll just work. If not, the 'rooting' process is as simple as these instructions, if you want to go with LineageOS, which is basically an open source Android ROM.
I have a 256GB sdcard as well and I'm fully stock and I have no issues. I haven't maxed out the card, however so I'm assuming that it recognizing the card means it works.
I've had mine for 1.5 years now. It is definitely showing its age on the latest games or a ton of Chrome tabs but otherwise it works fine for me.
I would love to have a new Sony tablet but it's pretty clear that they exited the market. So, probably at the end of the year I'll get a Sammy S4 or S5.

Also, would you happen to know the max capacity micro sd card this takes? I can't seem to find that info anywhere.

I am using a 400GB micro SD and will upgrade to 512GB in the next days.
I see no reason why the Controller should not support Cards up to 2TB(the theoretical max for Micro SDX) - if they will ever exist.
