Not sure if anyone still checks this thread but I'm trying to return to stock and having probs. I installed the cwm recovery in this thread and d/l'd the Sero 7 Stock Rom (P756.6.02.11.00). I've installed it and used both options to either block or unblock the stock recovery. Doesn't matter which option I choose- it just hangs at a blank/black screen and never boots the rom even though everything seems to have gone fine.. Any suggestions?

returning to stock.

Hi. Not sure what zip you're using to return to stock, but the one listed by xbox really isn't a true stock. Use the one from DoloresPark on page 169 post #1683.

try a factory reset in recovery and then flash the DoPa stock zip I mentioned.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2297246&page=169

say NO to both questions regarding root and recovery. You should then be back to stock with stock recovery.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Hag77:
Worked like a champ, although I did have to revert back to cwm instead of philz recovery before it would install the rom w/o errors. Now I'm back to stock rom and recovery - Thanks a ton!

Hanging on Fastboot loading screen

I can't seem to get this root method to go all the way through. It always gets stuck on the Fastboot loading screen. I installed Android studio and made sure the Platform Tools 23.1 was installed. I've tried the recovery exe, but it didn't get far. Is there some easy mistake that I could be making? Could Windows 10 be the culprit? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

this doesn't work for me because I can't dl the driver

and the reason is that if uninstall the driver my laptop doesn't see the M470BSA any more; when I try to update the driver it won't because MS thinks the driver (from 2006) is the best one for my tablet; i' d love to say thanks and donate, but until this is resolved, it "ain't" gonna happen.

so the program will go through the entire thing , boot but not root...

the su binary won't install but maybe it would if I could get beyond the driver issue.

any one able to help?

I think this is what you need

Just happened across this as I'm trying to revive mine with some ROM that does periodically just lag/hang. It used to be a reasonable tablet and I could stream music, etc., then it just started bogging down. DOPA 6, 5, and 2 all behave that way. LiquidSmooth 4.4 seemed better, but still does it. If anyone knows of a ROM that just works reliably without random horrible lag, please post. Anyway, I am pretty sure I had the needed root kit zip on my PC and uploaded it at (https) 1drv.ms/u/s!AgeHivg9ptrVigzEpxuu6zGg-Ei_. I don't seem to have enough posts to be allowed to post direct links but hopefully that goes through and gets you there.

Dopa 5 didn't use to for me. You could try cm12.1 honestly though 4.4 worked best I thought. Haven't tried in a while. I needed 5.0+ for apps. You could also use l speed and oc and turn on liquid smooth UI. I tried them all though and stuck with dopa mine is only used for a tv box though really.

Wow, I'm cheap...still haven't bought a new tablet...

Was checking in whether any activity was occurring for these tablets as I came across Android GO articles for low ram devices. My use case is minimal (watch movies and workout videos, or music for workouts) as the tablet is too slow for much else, but I'm still actively using two of these Sero7 Pros running DOPA android 4...so I think that's dopa v2.7. I've tried the 5 and 6 versions in the past but they didn't work for me for various reasons (i recall bluetooth issues on one and maybe lockups on the other). Wanted to pass along the message as I'm sure there's still some closet users of this device...

Anyway, some usage notes for anyone that comes across this:

I use VLC for watching movies on an airplane.

I use MX player for workout videos as it allows more controls for having a background music app going also. (independent volume from system).

For music I use Rocketplayer, tuneinRadio, IheartRadio and rockMyRun. I will start one of these, and then get a workout video going on MX player.

Bluetooth is my main listening method for workouts, but I use wired on plane.

I had overheating shutdown problems in the past during movies, so I put in some thin conductive metal as a heat sink/disbursement inside the tablet. I had access to copper sheet at 50 micron thickness. Aluminum foil might work also. I think I may have put some silver paste over the CPU and then applied the foil over the top. Foil was decently large area, but I recall not covering the battery. I may have used tape on the foil to keep it from touching electrical contacts on the underside, but I know one side was left without tape and no tape over area to contact CPU. Something similar to utube video "Nexus 7 2013 CPU Cooling", but not nearly as extensive.

I use netflix when in hotel (I've had to keep an older APK available as sometimes the updates break functionality for me...like bluetooth when watching...but latest version is fine).

I don't have a lot of other apps on the device and I turned off google play from autoupdating. I tend to leave them on airplane mode (battery conserve) unless streaming music. I've set them up to reboot daily (auto reboot app). Solid explorer and OpenVPN connect are a couple other occasional apps.

Good to see life in this thread! I just pulled my old Sero out and using it as a status board for my work. Running DAK board on it that imports my google calendar and using Macrodroid to automate reboots, refreshes and re connections. Would I would like is to find an app that would change my screensaver based on whether I am in the office or not. i.e. if it connects to my phone Bluetooth then show/turn green and if I am out of the office turn red. If the earlier poster needs a copy of the original boot kit I may have it somewhere still..

Anybody feel like helping?

I have a sero 7 pro. Trying to root. I've rooted two other tablets (Asus and Nook) and five phones over the years.

I tried using xboxexpert's really easy method to root, using his XE_Sero_Root, and I can not get the drivers to install. Like this other guy quoted above, I keep getting "best driver already installed." I've deleted the drivers (that was a trip - I had to change the "owner" to delete the files) but when I deleted files, I got the message that the there was no information about my hardware (I.e. wrong driver).

I went back to basics and tried to use Kardius' instructions for noobs (which I didn't think I was...)

I have Android SDK installed, along with the USB Driver

and

I have installed the PDANet drivers. I have ADB Debugging checked on the Sero.

Still no luck. I'm fairly certain that the difficulty is that I can't get the proper drivers installed.

By the way, I can't get Windows 7 to "not recognize" the Sero. It instantly installs it as a media device. Again, when I uninstall the drivers, no other driver will work. If I try to just replace the drivers, I get the "best driver already installed")

Question - Do I need 64bit windows 7 in order to make this thing work? I have 32bit W7, and I also XP (32 bit) Can't get it to work on either.

Lastly, I also have Ubuntu Linux installed on the XP computer, but I

am

a noob on that OS. If someone could do For Linux what Kardius did for Windows side of things I probably could get root and enjoy what the rest of you already are enjoying.

Thank you for any help you can give.

sd card as internal storage

Hey guys, I haven't had an android device since my HTC evo (which was rooted). I remember a Dev had created an apps2sd tweak for the SD card to be mounted as internal storage so that there was a lot more room to install apps. Does anyone know if that's an option we may eventually get to with the sero? Loving this tablet

Just finished flashing the stock deodexed rom. No joy. Booted, got the prompt to sign up for Vudu (said no since I already signed up). Tried to open the Vudu app and it fc'ed. Probably use Titanium and Root explorer just to cut out the crap and restore my apps and see how this feels without tablet UI for a bit.

Vudu is TOTALLY not worth wasting time on. I was mostly reporting for completeness sake that one app wasn't working for some reason. I logged in via PC and saw that the "ten free movies" is ten that they choose, not that I can choose. There are a couple worth watching, I was just mostly curious about their service. If I ever get the hankering, I'll play them via Roku. I tend to rip my own movies so I have something to watch on the plane or other times when I have no network connection. Planning on setting up a media server and xbmc machine one of these days, just haven't had the time to mess with it. Ahh wow, I'm rambling, long day.

On an unrelated note, I've noticed that my phone gets media and phone profiles when connected to my bluetooth headset, but S7 only gets media. I think that is probably why Skype uses headset with no issues on my phone, but not on the tablet. I've seen reports of other tablets having similar problems, but didn't find any concrete explanations or work-arounds when I was researching at lunch. Will post if I find anything.

Thanks again for sharing your awesome work xboxexpert! :cyclops:

I don't know if the tweak could be implemented, but I do want to point out that with JB, the available space for apps is equal to the available space of your internal SD card. Someone with more technical knowledge can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they've done away with the multiple partitions and we no longer run into the insufficient storage problem. Granted this tablet will only give you about 5GB of space for that purpose, so if you think you'll exceed that, the tweak may be the only way to go.

Judging from the amount of people requesting things in this thread I think a more requested mod would be the reboot to recovery in power menu

http://www.droidvan.com/2012/08/adding-reboot-button-on-power-menu.html

I was actually thinking an easier method would be....

If you hold down the power off button for 1 second it already asks to safe reboot. Intercept the safe reboot command and make it recovery. Seems a lot easier than editing in menus. I just have not had time to proceed with it.

Have you personally visited a physical store and asked? Take the UPC/sku number with you. I'm not sure what's going on with this tablet.

I'm in contact with Hisense marketing management to see why this is being under advertise and why the Pro version is pulled from Walmart.com's website. I'll get back to the forums with an answer shortly if I don't get disconnected again.

update: Hisense themselves were unaware that walmart.com had pulled the pro version of this tablet from their site. They are investigating.

on hold again...

update²: I spoke with management and it seems like walmart is redoing their displays and this is the reason why they are not available on their site. However the device is still on the shelves in stores and is still being as per minimum stock specification per store.

First off, thanks for all your efforts. Root plus ROM and tab UI MOD with circle bat. YAY!

I got my Sero yesterday and rooting it was one of the first things I did. Love it. The screen capture button didn't make any sense to me so tabUI is great.

OK. I don't know where else to post for this device. But the main thing I've noticed is that the colors seem a little muted. Wondering if there might be a setting I'm missing somewhere or maybe an app to calibrate colors.

The other thing is that it would be nice to have a dedicated numbers row on the keyboard (I've gotten used to having it on my S4). I know I can change that with any number of options from the app store (favorite suggestions welcomed), but just a thought for future builds maybe.

Again thanks a bunch.
