Recent Problem with Rooted Sero 7

I just ran into a problem. My Sero 7 Pro no longer is "seen" by my Win 7 PC. I tried uninstalling from device manager where it shows with an error icon and re-installing but get notified that it can't find drivers on pc or internet. My device is rooted (xboxexpert method) and I seem to remember it was accessible both before and after rooting. Since that time, I've put in a large number of apps including Link2SD and FolderMount. I just had installed USB OTG Helper to try to read my USBs using an OTG cable but it didn't work so it was uninstalled. Any suggestions? Without USB or pc connectivity, it is tough to transfer files like music other than wirelessly from my LAN or by switching microSDs. The latter is not easy because of offloaded data and apps on the mounted card.

Solved: USB debugging was on; turning off allows me to connect.

Followed through with the correct steps but as soon as i try to configure RomSwitcher is FC's

I wish i could grab a logcat but i can't. Since i am not the only one with ADB not working at all besides in recovery and or fastboot.

I needed Supersu and busybox>go that and ADB is working..

wifi adb needs root, which i do not yet have... because -i-do-not-have-adb-working-on-the-device-.

so, anyone know how/why to get ADB WORKING on this device, so i can root it ?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
The problem is that ADB doesn't know what device to look for - you have to help it out a bit.

On newer versions of Windows, look for a file named C:\Users\(yourusername)\.android\adb_usb.ini.

On older versions, look for C:\Documents and Settings\(yourusername)\.android\adb_usb.ini.

On Linux, it's ~/.android/adb_usb.ini.

It's possible that neither file nor folder already exists, so you may have to create them (note that a dot is the first character in the folder's name). In your adb_usb.ini, enter the tablet's USB Vendor ID. For this Hisense-manufactured tablet, it's 0x109b. Save the file and you should be good to go. (If you already ran ADB during the current session and it failed, run adb kill-server, then retry.)

Note: if you have other phones or tablets you want to access via ADB, you can enter their Vendor IDs in this file, one per line. To find the ID, open Device Manager, then open the Properties notebook for the device in question. On the Details page, select "Hardware Ids" from the drop down. You'll see something like this: USB\VID_109B&PID_9106&MI_01. The Vendor ID is the hex number with the prefix VID_.

I thought this was at a kernel level not touching the bootloader:eek:, this is how far ive got

However i am still able to access fastboot and recovery...

UPDATE: got back running stock ROM but their is no such directories even created : "/data/dual/cache" "/data/dual/2nddata" or any sign of any ROM being installed onto the cache partition. Their is something not working on the kernel side or the updater-script side.

I don't use windows anymore, is this for all operating systems ?

this is the first device I've had trouble with adb on, on mac os.

ill give it a try this afternoon, and report back. thanks
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
I've had to do this on Win and Linux but haven't tried on my Mac. However this is an ADB issue, not an OS issue. AFAIK, ADB only knows how to find Google devices (0x18d1) and devices that purport to be Google (i.e. cheap, no-name tablets made on the sidestreets of Shenzhen). On Mac, your .android should either be directly in your home folder (like in Linux) or somewhere in Library - wherever other apps store their private settings.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ohgood:
ok, i've tried modifying my ~/.android/adb_usb.ini file, and added 0x18d1 to the list. there is no change. adb still does not see the device, it is not listed via ' adb devices',

this is my version:

$ adb version

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31

do i need to file a bug report with google ?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] morfic:
morfic@othris:/data/devstuff/GNDEV/omap$ adb version

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31

morfic@othris:/data/devstuff/GNDEV/omap$

morfic@othris:/data/devstuff/GNDEV/omap$ cat ~/.android/adb_usb.ini

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.

0x04e8

0x18d1

0x109b

morfic@othris:/data/devstuff/GNDEV/omap$

0x109b is what the vendor shows up with when booted into Android, which is actually what the other guy already showed you.

on linux dmesg shows this after plugging in your device:

[1885567.128832] usb 1-6.3: new high-speed USB device number 24 using ehci-pci

[1885567.220807] usb 1-6.3: New USB device found, idVendor=109b, idProduct=9106

[1885567.220832] usb 1-6.3: Manufacturer: Hisense

[1885567.220837] usb 1-6.3: SerialNumber:

you can repeat looking at dmesg when in recovery, bootloader, os and should have all vendor IDs any new device spits out.

If you ever hit a device listed as offline, then look at your device and confirm adb access from your PC. (took me a little to notice after upgrading my nexii to 4.3 :P)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] slicingtaco:
Ummm.. I thought you were instructed to put in 0x109b (alone on a single line, take a look at mine) as instructed by [MENTION=5094650]dolorespark[/MENTION]

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dolorespark:
Thanks for posting this example - that's what I should have done.

I only mentioned Google's vendor ID because it's (probably) the only one you don't need in adb_usb.ini (though having it there doesn't hurt). Earlier, someone mentioned that the only time they could get ADB to work was in the stock Recovery when they chose to sideload an update via ADB. In this case, Recovery enables USB and sets the vendor ID to Google's (0x18d1) so that ADB can find the device, regardless of who the manufacturer is, and regardless of what you may have in your adb_usb.ini.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] slicingtaco:
That explains why it only worked in recovery:rolleyes:
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ohgood:
yes, that was me that mentioned adb only working in recovery, and ONLY with from the prompt with the 'adb sideload filename' command. this the the -only- time that adb recognizes the device, but since it fails at signature evaluation, that method of trying to push any files over fails.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

yes, i've done as instructed. adb still fails to recognize the device. the system profiler app shows it as a Hisense something-or-other properly, with the same numbers from the 3rd party vender list from my ~/.android/adb_usb.ini which is weird to me. the operating system sees the device, but adb is -still- failing to do anything with it.

as i said, adb connects with all my other android devices just fine, wether from usb or wifi. no problemo.

are you certain i don't need to file a bug ?
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] slicingtaco:
Are you using the stock USB cable provided by Hisense, try a different USB port (make sure you have the updated Android SDK properly installed).

Have you also tried switching to PTP mode instead of MTP. I wish i could help but i am not much of an Apple user.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ohgood:
i've tried switching ptp, mtp, adb debugging on/off, and 'unknown sources' on/off, also difference usb ports along with different usb cords. i'm fairly certain this is -only- an adb problem, but have no proof or know of how to prove it.

actually i've just now started having "failed to ACK' problems while starting adb, soooooo, i'll be googling that a while. very frustrating, this was working fine before i started trying to root the the wonderful sero 7 pro :)
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Cellular-Decay:
Okay, I've got a problem. Tried rooting a friend's US Sero-7 Pro to install Tablet UI, but I can't get SuperSU working.

Rooted using the latest download and it all seemed to work.

Rebooted into CWM Recovery and flashed "Sero 7 Stock Rom (P756.6.02.11.00) [Deodexed/NOWIPE]"

Wiped cache and Dalvik-Cache

Rebooted and chose Yes to disable recovery flash and Yes to root, but after booting SuperSU will not install.

"There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" Tried updating and uninstalling/reinstalling. No joy.

Tried reflashing the Deodexed ROM and even rerooting with the same results.

Anyone got any ideas?

I've done this twice before with no issues, but both times I used the XE-Sero ROM, so I'm wondering if this is a problem with the stock Deodexed ROM?

Thanks.

I had this same problem with the same ROM, I was moving to the newer version "Sero 7 Stock Rom (P756.6.02.11.00) [Deodexed/NOWIPE]", so i flashed XE-Sero ROM, and root works. Not sure what the issue was, but ROM developer suggested just flashing XE-sero and that worked fine.

Extracting Issue

I am running Windows 7 Pro. I successfully installed the ADB Driver. However, when I EXTRACT the files from the Zipped Google Drive package, my XESeroRootUS appears as 'XESeroRootUS.sh' ???

When I did this on a different machine, the file gets extracted as an EXE. What gives? I cannot get it to execute. I tried to change the extension to .EXE and this opened a command window, but nothing happened.

Please help.

Just download SuperSu and flash the zip from recovery, you will have root, stock rom. Xbox's roms, doesn't matter.

The error you talk about is what you get if you install supersu from market when there is no proper su in the system yet.

Can't root this puppy with XP

Oddly when I do the procedure on XP everything is as it should be, but the friggin ADB driver won't install properly because XP keeps insisting on showing MTP even though I've uninstalled the drivers, etc. Simply cannot get the root procedure to work in XP.

So, I try it on a Windows 7 machine. On the machine I don't have admin rights on, the Zip package extracts with a clearly visible EXE of USSeroRoot.

I try it on a different Windows 7 machine and the only visible file is the Root.sh file. No other executable USRoot file in the extracted folder.

I'm at a loss. I'll have to post some screenshots.

Is there a way to get ADB to install for the process so I can achieve this on my XP machine?? I have SP3.

It always give me the same result despite several tried workarounds:

The driver did not install properly. Something about the INF file being invalid or something like that...

Anyway just follow what [MENTION=3724031]Gster09[/MENTION] posted here right below..

Look in the OP (Page 1).

Download the correct one for your model (US, UK)

Open up your platform-tools that contain adb and fastboot on the hardrive

and throw in the stock downloaded recovery from a minute ago.

Open up a terminal (Inside the adb/fastboot folder, SHIFT + Right Click ON THE FOLDER ICON, not within the folder)

Plug the device with debugging enabled, and type in (one by one);

adb push ./stock_recovery.img /sdcard/

adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/stock_recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"

adb reboot recovery​

Is there any update on getting the source for this kernel? I notice Hisense is now a member of the Linux Foundation and I also notice there are several petitions o change.org and others requesting them to release source for other phones. If they're going to be a member of a group like that then they should have to abide by the license of the software they're using.... I wonder if someone should contact the Linux foundation themselves to apply pressure.

Downloaded update files usually go into /cache on your root folder. You'll need a file manager that lets you access that folder or you'll need to pull it via adb.

Looks like your update saved as /cache/a2616b52aa10d05a0c10d2942a9a44777be03a78.update.zip However, on other devices, I've seen the update get deleted after a failed flash attempt. You may need to wait for the prompt to download again, or use the framework/clear-data trick.

Yes. Nothing that requires root will work because the tablet is no longer rooted after flashing the deodexed ROM.

And now I know why. The entire xbin directory is missing. For some reason when I flash the ROM, xbin (and its contents) are not being created.

I have no idea how to fix this. :(

EDIT: It looks like it might be fixed now.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Cooch1000:
Weird

Ok, VERY weird.

I thought this might be a WinZip issue, since the SeroRootUS.exe clearly was NOT being extracted (although the UK version did???) so I downloaded WINRAR. Nothing - same problem.

I even extracted the files to desktop so I could see them transfer and the SeroRootUS.exe file literaly extracted, then DISAPPEARED.

Does anyone have any idea why this happened? Same thing with 7-Zip.

Restored from a backup to get it running again.

So what's up with the deodexed_NOWIPE ROM and tablet UI? I thought this stuff was tested before being posted? Is there a step missing from the instructions, because I followed the directions in post-2 and it's not working?
