adb drivers on windows 8

Has anyone tried the tasselhof script on windows 8? I can't get past step one. I have a hipstreet flare that I'm trying to root. I've tried loading the drivers given but get an error saying:

Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.

Android ADB Interface

The third-party INF does not contain digital signature information.

I've tried loading samsung drivers in compatibility mode to see if that would help, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks!

Trying this on a HS Flare 9"?

Hi there,

I've been following Greywolf's posts about this, since he has the same tablet as the one I bought this morning. I just wanted to make sure I understand things properly and get some opinions. I plan on backing up my Flare first, but if I understand the posts here and on other sites correctly here's what he did:

Used the Tasselhof utility to root this, but didn't save the build.prop (which was replaced by step 3 in Tasselhof), so he used one from a 7" version. He had some issues with the task bar disappearing, the lock screen is gone, the home button doesn't work, but your physical back and volume buttons still work (I'm getting this info from his YouTube video here: youtube.com/watch?v=kvR8aLntn0I). Is that right?

My plan (which I'd like opinions on) is this:

1) Backup my tablet (gotta find out how to do this still)

2) Run Tasselhof steps 1, 2, 3 and 10 (my question here would be: Do I include step 3 and then replace the build.prop with my original after, or skip step 3 altogether?) This step says it enables additional apps - would this be what enables Google Play on my device?

3) Pray during reboot

My ultimate goal is to get Google Play working on it (which is installed manually ATM, but won't install apps from the store). How does that sound to the pros around here?

Furthermore, if I can get my original build.prop saved, would that be useful to anyone here? I'd love to help someone out if they could use it.

Thanks in advance!

If I was to guess, it was in this area I went wrong.....

***** ADDITIONAL OPTIONS *****

4. Install System Tweaks and Files

5. Remove the Built-in "Junk" Chinese Apps

I did the old Play on the Hi way without knowing, and I burnt myself. So yes back up all you can !!!!!! Another of my mistakes.

I would add, maybe skip step 3

I had read somewhere else, or in another thread. There were 2 apk's needed to make Play store work. The Play apk, and google framework.

You can do an easy google search to find needed files.

I've since put down the hipstreet flare and got a Galaxy Tab 2. I may come back to it at a later date if someone finds a way to rig Jelly Bean into it, or a clean version of ICS.

Good project for a beginner?

Hi everyone!

Was wondering if this method also works on the 8GB Hipstreet model # 8105987???

Also, are there any ROM's to try and which recovery is known to work for this???

My son just turned 13 and is becoming interested in modding and have shown him the basics on my old, now Boosted EVO 4G...

Time for him to try more on his own but dont want him to have market issues....

Any help is ALWAYS appreciated!

Hello,

I rooted my hipstreet flare 9" tablet using this method to get the play store to work. Much like everyone else in this thread I got the root to go through, but now my task bar is gone! I tried to push the build.prop using android command but I either kept getting an error, or the push would not finish. Also, I can select to download things from the store, but it doesn't actually download to the tablet. I get no errors saying I can't download apps, the download itself doesn't start. any help is greatly appreciated!

My husband also got a Hipstreet Nova 4 as a quality award. I'd like to have the play store to use and the steps seemed to have worked but after a minute I got an error that said "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." and now get this every time. Anyone have an idea to fix? I think it's the only thing not working right.

! ! ! NOOB ALERT ! ! !

My wife picked up the Hipstreet Titan HS-7DTB4-4GB (0512TOP200)

I figure this is the best thread to ask root related question for this device.

It was previously purchased from and returned to Walmart. It seems to work fine. But we want it to work better.

The originating post by "repherb" leads me to believe we can indeed have that better device.

SPECS:

7" Capacitive Multi-touch screen ( resolution ? )

Android 4.0.3 OS

Baseband version: V1.2_20120505

Kernal versioin: 3.0.8+

4GB built in capacity - expandable to 16 GB with Micro SD card (not included)

1.2 GHZ CPU with 512 MB DDR2 RAM

( I'm not sure how to find what type of CPU is in it? )

Rechargable 2600 mah lithium polymer battery built-in

High speed direct micro USB 2.0 interface

WIFI 802.11 b/g/n

Built in speaker, microphone & front facing camera

(Box indicates that 1.3 GB of the 4GB is reserved for Data management functions)

> This would give me 2.7 GB to play with, right??

> When the device is connected to my PC, the "removable disk" on shows 1.61 GB of free space of 1.62 GB total capacity, shouldn't it read 2.7 GB?

ANYWAYS, lol back on topic !

> I want to attempt the "Tasselhof Root" as was outlined in the start of this Thread.

>In this thread another member(Metalchef" posted a link for a "build.prop from unmodified HS-7DTB4" . . . is this the same as doing a device back-up? ( i have a feeling it's not, but i was hoping someone would/could verify )

>Also, if i'm doing this from a totally fresh unit (factory default) with no personal info or apps on the device, is it necessary to actually back the device up first? ( does the back up have anything to do with actual system files, as opposed to just config settings and personal apps and contacts and such )

Prior to attempting Tasselhof, do i need to update android? firmware? ( or is this what "root" will do for me? )

I will be connecting this device to 2 different laptops; 1) Windows 7 64-bit, & 2) Windows Vista 32-bit

I had already had driver issue connecting this device to either laptop, used "Driver" from the Tasselhof download, Windows 7 64-bit latop see's device just fine and is able to explore it's folders.

I guess i'm just a little nervous to go ahead and start this "root", is there anything that needs to be transferred onto an micro-sd card prior to this process? Do i just connect the device to my laptop and run the Tasselhof from the directory i extracted it to?

Sorry this post is so huge? any assist is appreciated, just starting out and don't want to "F" it up on the first go.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starapple:
Greetings. I just got a Hipstreet Aurora, a 7" tablet model #HS-7DTB6-8GB (in the User Manual, HS-7DTB6-4GB in the System info ) and discovered that it doesn't have access to Google Play. More correctly, Play apps do not download and install although it seems to go through the motions.

Question: Does anyone know whether the Tasselhof Root will work with this gadget? The specs say:

CPU: A13 -1.2 GHz

Display: 7" 800x400 capacitive touch

RAM: 512MB DDR3

OS: Android 4.0 (4.0.4 in the About tablet section of Settings)

Baseband version: HS-GP707_20121208

Kernel version: 3.0.8 (FRi Dec 7, 2012)

Battery: 300mAh, 3.7V

Having unzipped the Tasselhof archive, and read the Read me, I'm not sure if the CPU and OS versions are compatible and as a non technical person, can't tell. I'm also concerned at the differences between what's in the User Manual and what's in the device's System info in the Settings screen.

Thanks for your guidance through this valley of uncertainty. I guess my question is: is my device suitable to be rooted using Tasselhof's app?

PS.. the tablet doesn't see my inserted SD card and I'm wondering whether anyone has had that experience with a Hipstreet gadget and if Tasselhof's app addresses a fix.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mixednuts:
Just picked a couple of these up as well. I've read about this before, but now I've actually witnessed it... our tablet is already rooted. You'll need to download and install Superuser, from the market that's available right out of the box, to manage your root permissions. After installing, take a look inside the app and make the sure the binary is up to date.

Now, I did get Play Store running, but it took a couple of file copies into the root directory (libs, apks, so, etc..)... I have some experience with this stuff and I can see doing it this way may be a little daunting for those who are new to it. As I get more familiar with the device I'll try to help users along as much as I can.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kmhobbs:
Okay, so i was adventurous . . . with my Hipstreet TITAN 7" tablet HS-7DTB4-4GB

Edit** just in case anyone didn't notice in my original post just ^^ up there. i had factory reset the tablet prior to doing any of this. there was no personal data/info/apps to be lost. if you decide to try it yourselves make sure you find a way to back up your device first. **

I used the Tasselhof script . . . Thanks to member "repherb" I really appreciate this thread you started)

with the tablet connected and turned on, i ran the script from my windows 7 64-bit laptop

my antivirus didn't like the script and halted/quarantined it.

I had to restore it and set the Antivirus to "allow" it

I did options 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 10 . . . all seems okay until final reboot

The replacing of the "build.prop" file in step 4 I think made the tablet think it was the the wrong device and after the final reboot it acted all kinds of weird.

I had downloaded a "Build.prop" file for the HS-7DTB4-4GB from member "metalchef" in this same thread ( thx goes out to him as well )

I copied his prop.build file into the ICS folder of the Tasselhof script and let it replace the build.prop file that was already there.

I reconnected the tablet to the USB, ran the script again, but only choosing option 4 to replace the build and then option 10 to complete.

again the tablet rebooted, i disconnected it from the usb during the reboot and checked it out. :good: :D

checked the apps menu, "Android Market" was there, logged in with my current google account. is setup the Google play icon in the App Menu, searched up a game my wife wanted, downloaded, installed and played .. . Wooooot ! ! !

I'd like to thank everybody that had input into this thread, regadless of your different versions of hipstreet tablets or your successes and or failures, it gave me the confedence to go ahead and give it a try. I'm happy with the results.

a slightly different question i'll pose though there is no doubt another thread for it. . . Can I upgrade/update from Android 4.0.3 ICS to say the new JellyBean version? anyways i'll search it up :)

Thanks once again for all that the community does for one another.

Hey, just wondering if someone can help?

sorry if i seem stupid but im completely lost.

ive downloaded the Tasselhof scripts and unpacked everything but i dont know if theres anything i have to do before starting the batch file.

i have tried loading into the ADB but my tablet isnt found by it, i dont know if thats something i need to worry about or not..

so i guess what im asking is... is there a guide available for a complete noob starting from the start?

I've got the Hipstreet Flare, so im guessing i need the stock build.prop, how do i get that too?

any help is greatly appreciated.

win8 x64 worked like a charm... had the missing home and back buttons, etc..replaced the build.prop with the one posted in this thread. works great now. root and play store. it is however.....out of space? brand new. we have to load a sd card to install anything dont we....edit: also in win8(i noticed after you having trouble with the drivers) you must disable driver signature enforcement. http://laslow.net/2012/03/14/disable-driver-signature-enforcement-in-windows-8/ <-- that will help ya with that. good luck, enjoy! i need more thanks buttons hit !! lol

go into settings..down to the bottom and select developer options, enable usb debugging, your computer should prompt for drivers, browse to the provided drivers in the OP linked tools. that should get ya going. you may need to disable driver sig enforcement..for sure in win8 you must. good luck! hit the thanks! i needems!

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for posting all that you have learned from your experiences with rooting your devices.

I have learned a great deal from all of you.

Unfortunately no matter what I do I can not get my home button to work on my screen. All the other buttons on the task bar work perfectly; back, recent and vol+ vol -.

I have replaced the build.prop file with both files that I found in this thread and immediately restarted the device via step #10 in the scripts. All this to no avail.

Tried doing a full factory wipe in the hope that the factory image would reset the device, but no luck.

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on what I can do next?? :eek:

Hipstreet Aurora 4 GB & Google Play

I picked up a Hipstreet Aurora 4GB (HS-7DTB6-4GB, Android 4.0.4) tablet this weekend, I was wondering if this method will work with it to add Google Play? Are there any bugs with this script? Also could someone please tell me how I would make a full backup of my tablet in case something goes wrong. This is my first tablet.

Previously I followed another set of directions that said to download ES File Explorer. Go to it's settings, root settings, turn on all options there. Then download the Google Play vender file, sorry I can't link to it the forum wont let me until I've posted more.

After installing it, the set up looks like it goes ok. However the first time I tried to download an app in GP it crashed with this message. “Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped”

I've tried restarting and opening Google Play but each time I get the same error message. I've tried different versions of the file, all give the same error.

Thanks!

Hipstreet 7DTB25 8GB

Hello I have a Hipstreet Titan2 model# 7DTB25 8GB Kitkat 4.4.2

I am trying to root it but it never shows up on adb list devices under windows or Ubuntu.

USB debugging is enabled and showing the icon in the android system bar at the top to me this means it's communicating with the USB root.

In windows it just simply cant install a suitable driver I have tried them all.

In Ubuntu I can do lsusb in terminal emulator and it will show the device connected with a device ID but adb devices shows nothing not even ? marks just blank.

Same with

sudo

adb devices.

I have also put the device into fastboot by holding power and vol up

then lsusb and the device shows on usb list, but still adb devices(sudo or not)

shows nothing just.

List of devices attached

followed by a blank line here.

I have also tried towelroot and every other variant of 1 click I could find.

I mean what the hell man if its listed as connected to the usb and android dev icon is showing up on the tablet why does it not exist.

Please help I have been struggling with this for like 6 months.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bruhja:
I tried:

kingo root

towel root

king root

1 click root

ADB root

tasselhof's

Linux/Windows nothing seems to recognize it under adb.

It had kitkat on it when I purchased it though looking back I wish I had purchased the one beside it with Jellybean for the same price.

OS updates these days are seldom ever updates. just more backdoors and corporate controls
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bruhja:
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!! I just ran the

latest

kingo root application and it totally worked.

for those on JB there must be a way to get KK since hipstreet actually has the rom shipped on tablets. I'll see if I can backup my rooted KK rom and post it.

We are all on AT&T with their respective branded devices. Not that I think it matters what carrier branded devices the screen shots are coming from.

From my experience with this issue, it seems that it only happens with someone sends me a screen shot. It's very random as well.

Could it be possible that screen shots are saved as an incompatible file type? If they are compatible, could it be a proxy setting?
