Well, I wanted to wipe everything and go back to stock. I wiped System, data, cache, dalvic cache, sd card, sd card/media, etc. Now it won't boot past the hisense logo. I try fastboot, it won't boot past the fastboot logo. I plugged the usb in and tried XERecovery.exe and it said, "device found, flashing cwm recovery". Flash completed and it rebooted back to the hisense logo, which won't load anything. In the XERecovery program, it said, "daemon not running, starting it now." "daemon started successfully". That's it. How do I get back to recovery?

Edit: Held volume down and power and got to it. Scared the crap out of myself. I'll load the stock rom and exchange it. I'm apparently having trouble with the hdmi port. It seems to work fine if the cord isn't moved at all, but when it does, the screen goes black. That's on my monitor. On my tv, it flickers. Tried a mini-hdmi to hdmi cord, and tried a convertor with several different cords. I think it's the port.

Is it possible to swap the screenshot button with the battery button while keeping the stock ROM? I already tried flashing the Deodexed zip with:

XE-Sero7Pro-factory-4.2.1-stock_deodex_NOWIPE.zip​

That worked fine. I then tried flashing the battery icon with:

XE-Sero7ROM-4.2.1-5_29_CircleBatt_MOD_Blue.zip​

That didn't seem to change the screenshot button. Note: I do not wish to flash the Tablet UI. Any suggestions appreciated

Besides, if duct tape is involved you know there was a hack.

Sent from an S7P running XE-Sero7ROM (TabletUI)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
I'm going to address this once and one time only. If you remove the shell of the case you can see how the usb door works. It is formed with a tail into a hole that flaps around. If you can successfully close the usb door with the case off then the case was not closed correctly from factory. You can close the case with the tale end close to the case and then maneuver the piece so that it fits snugly.

That is the fix. Don't cut, shave or mutilate your sdcard. Don't duct tape your case....just use your mind and figure out how to fix it with out doing a patch job on your device. There was no manufacturing flaw just half/assed QA from factory.

I have rooted my Hisense Sero 7 Pro, installed CWM, and the deodexed ROM. That's all working fine. Now I wish to make Nandroid backups and archive them on my PC to save space in the tablet. As a test, I copied Nandroids back to the tablet and when I attempt to restore them I get a "MD5 mismatch" error. Any ideas on what may be going wrong? I use the same technique to copy other files between PC and tablet via USB and also FTP/WiFi without issues. Of course, I locate the Nandroid in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup before attempting the restore. CWM has no trouble seeing the backup.

Driver Doldrums... or to you guys Double D's

Hello, I am having issues installing XE Sero 7 Pro usb driver on my XP sp2 computer. I have tried at least a dozen times using the device manager. In the Hisense Pro, Developer Mode, USB debugging is checked. On every failed attempt I allways Uninstalled both ADB & MTP drivers, sometimes I rebooted the XP computer & 7 Pro, sometimes I didn't reboot. I tried different cables, ports, nothing has worked yet.

When I try to install the driver the Device Manager reports an error in Android Phone – Android ADB Interface (a ! mark) & also in Other devices – MTP (a ? mark)

In the Hardware Wizzard I get this message:

There was a problem installing this hardware:

Cannot Start this Hardware

Android ADB Interface

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware.

The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

I searched this forum and found a couple issues like mine and tried other users suggestions. NADA! I wonder if it could be SP2? I have tried SP3 on this machine 3 times in the past and hated it, went back to SP2. I would install sp3 again to get this driver installed if I thought that was the problem.

Any comments would be appreciated
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Cellular-Decay:
Does your hot-spot app connect via infrastructure or ad-hoc?

FYI: Android doesn't support ad-hoc, so if your hot-spot app needs an ad-hoc connection (like mine does) then you are SOL.

There used to be a way to enable ad-hoc with a hacked wpa_supplicant file, but it seems that with the JB update google has taken further steps to kill ad-hoc at the kernel level, so now it requires a custom ROM with a recompiled kernel. At least that is my understanding from the research I've been doing the last few weeks. Had I known this before my 14 day return policy was up, I probably wouldn't have kept my S7Pro. It's really not very useful without a mobile data connection.

Hopefully there will be a cyanogenmod ROM for the S7 soon.

FYI: Linux has been able to read/write NTFS for years. However, Android is a stripped down, Google-mutilated version of Linux, so it doesn't surprise me that stuff like NTFS support isn't included.

And yea, contrary to popular belief, FAT32 actually supports file systems up to 2TB in size. The problem is that Windows will not format anything larger than 32GB with FAT32 (it forces you to exFAT or NTFS). No such limitations under Linux. For Windows you'll need a 3rd party formatting utility for cards larger than that.

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

Actually, in my case it's definitely a flaw. I tried your suggestion, but there is no fix. It's just poorly designed. The front of the door clips into a hole, but the back (the part with the tail) just flops around. Tilt the tablet down and gravity alone will make that back part of the door flop out at an angle. Put in an SD card, and the card pushes on the door to pop the back part up a bit. There is simply nothing to hold that back part of the door in place. The door is smaller than the slot, so there is no friction, and only the front has a hook.

Maybe not all S7 tablets are the same? Maybe there's more than one plant making them, and some have a better door? I don't know. What I do know is that my tablet has a crap door design that is absolutely flawed. I have seen 2 other S7Pros, and they were both like mine, so mine is not an isolated incident.

I appreciate the advice, but just wanted to let you (and others) know that there is a flaw in the design, at least on some tablets.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tmicrd68:
Did you try wedging the long tail end clip in between the case & chassis while reassembling? This is what I ended up doing. It's not perfect but the door doesn't hang as badly anymore.

Install XP service pack 3.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Cellular-Decay:
It could very well be SP2. Even XP SP3 is end of life. SP2 is ancient by computer standards.

Exactly what was wrong with SP3? And how did you install it? The best way to install SP3 is to slipstream it into your XP install disk and then do a fresh install. Yea, it's a bit of a hassle, but it gives you the cleanest install.

You really should consider upgrading to Windows 7. XP is end of life, and 7 is just better anyway.

Another option would be to use a friend for family member's computer to root. Someone you know must have a more up to date 'puter.

Comparing to my Asus Transformer TF101 and my SGS3 using Kindle and Aldiko:

I prefer the screen on both of the other devices. On each the text seems sharper/clearer. BUT, the size of this device makes up for it. The TF101 is 10" and gets heavy while reading. The SGS3 is obviously smaller. All things considered, on a scale of 1-10, compared to the other 2 devices I'd score this one 0.5 points below the others.

My local Wal-Mart had working models on display to try out.

I still prefer E-ink devices for reading, but enjoy the ability to use my phone/tablet in more places due to lighting.

SP3 is a pre-requisite for numerous hotfixes and patches since SP2.

The options are:

Re-run as the administrator user (this guy says it worked).

Upgrade to SP3 then do windows updates & reboot, repeat until you're current.

Upgrade to 7 then windows update dance above.

Do it on a friend's computer.

Good luck, worked for us.

Sero 7 pro

First I want to thank every one who responded to my driver issue. I want to weight in on the micro SD cover non issue. I do not know why the manufacture even included this cover over SD slot. It serves no purpose. I don't get it. Mine works fine. The reason I'm typing this is that I have a micro sd card that sticks out further than other cards I have. The card is a PreTec. In another post I will give you a breakdown of all the dimensions. I will be comparing it to another micro sd card I have, An ADATA. They are both class 10. Intrestingly enough it turns out the ADATA card is slightly longer than the PreTec. Here are the numbers; The total length of the ProTec is 0.604"(15.33mm). The ADATA card is 0.605"(15.40mm). More to come.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Oscar_david:
I'm with you on this one. I could do without this cover, and have considered just ripping the damned thing off-- even though on my device it works fine except that it's slightly raised on one side. For me it's strictly a 'cosmetic' issue. I'm glad I'm not that OCD tho... might drive me nuts otherwise.

I have a SanDisk 64 gig card in mine and it fits perfectly fine. However I have noticed that when I put the brand new Samsung micro sd 32 gigabyte Pro Card into it my screen would hesitate to turn on as posted above. But when I put in the sand discard the screen lagginess went away.

This is strange because the Samsung pro card is supposed to be way better and faster. I put it in my Sgs3 and it's great so I moved the 64gb sandisk I had in my s3 to the hisense S7 permanently.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] YaKillaCJ:
Im not too informed on this but if Im not mistaken, thats to be expected when U first change mcroSD Cards.

The reason is that a good bit of android applications read/write the data to and from the microSD. So when U switch out, these apps are then running harder creating their new directories/files or having a hard time finding nd looking for the ones that were there.

Just 2 Days ago I did a full nullifier wipe on my phone but 4got to add the rom on my phones 16gb sd. It was on my Sero and I even placed it on my NAS. But 4 some dumb reason, I didnt pull it to my phone. Basicly Im stuck in recovery without the rom I wanted. So I just copied it from my 32gb sd to the Sero internal memory and unmounted properly. Popped in the new1 and it began getting sluggish and even ES File Manager and another app force closed. I did I reboot and it started working just as fast as before.

lso mind you, I had this 16gb Class 4 Sandisk in before I went and got the 32gb Class 10 Sandisk. I notice the write speed diff, however during normal operation and read only actions, there isnt any difference.

That says a lot about what you've done man. I absolutely love how this ROM performs. Even out of the box this tab meets my expectations. With the addition of this ROM, your inductive charging mod, and the few quality accessories, I'm extremely satisfied. Even with a million ROMs to play with I'd bet I'd always return to this one. IMO, this is easily on the same level as CM.

Thanks again for your work, I appreciate it and still think about it every time I push that power button.
