Alpinestar777

Alpinestar777 contacted me today and allowed me to utilize Teamviewer on a 32GB UK Version and I successfully updated post 1 with extremely important into including the change of partition tables and blocks. The boot image is no longer located where it is on the US Version so the pre-updated root script may have bricked some people's UK Versions.

CWM Touch for UK 32GB is coming soon I just have to tweak a few things due to the recent changes in structure.

Updated post 1 and 2 with more info and a new root script for UK Versions. It will root successfully but NOT install CWM Recovery, yet. If you have bricked your UK tablet please allow me to get in through teamviewer through fastboot and attempt to write a script for recovery.

Hey, Allen, ask your Hisense contact about the 32GB Sero 7 Pro available in Great Britain and see if there's a chance it's heading our way in the US. May be the reason WM is dropping the current version to $129 (instead of to compete with the ASUS Memo Pad HD7.) Thanks.

Sero 7 Pro in the Xterra

Took a little tip from the Nexus 7 forum. I built one for my Nexus 7 but I gave it to my wife to get her off of those 'other' tablets and phones. Not the best job in the world, because I stink working with Bondo. I built a bigger, better one to go horizontal but no one told me you couldn't see the screen in horizontal mode with polarized glasses on. Duh!

Who has a UK Version and wants to test CWM Touch I just compiled?

Only flash though fastboot.

Get into fastboot

adb reboot bootloader

Flash CWM Touch

fastboot flash recovery cwm_touch_recovery_uk.img

If it doesnt work flash back to stock recovery

fastboot flash recovery stock_uk32_recovery.img

Chargers

Ok, so I hate to post this here and pollute the thread with non-development info... but I'm going to...

I lost the USB>microUSB portion of the charger (I still have the plug), and after researching different types of chargers I feel like I need a masters in electrical engineering to understand which one would be best.

I'm also to the point where I have three different devices that I use on a daily basis which all need to be charged via microUSB.

What should I do? Should I just get the cord I'm missing? Is there a multi-port plug that would work better? Is it ok to just get the lowest price 5V/2A charger on the market?

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
Any charger will work. 5v 2Amp is BEST for charging but 5v1A will work as well.

It's working now. I was using that dinky usb cable that came with my E07k. I swaped it out with another cable and got a LOCK right away.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DreadApex:
Any standard usb->musb cord should do the trick.

I have a half dozen floating around and have never had a problem with any of them.

the great thing about USB is the U (universal) ;)

Personally, I use the same ac>usb charger for many items, rather than swapping them in and out. (they all are 5v/2a and practically identical)

Mr. Expert.. I just wanted to say Thank You for all your hard work on the Sero 7.. I was able to Root & Run your XE ROM without issue. Sadly though, I only had the Sero 7 for 48 hours before having to return it do to Major Heat radiating from the upper half of the rear side of the Tablet. I chose to move on to the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 but this is still the best bang for the buck out there if you can get one without any hiccups.. I hope XDA breaks down and provides the 7 with the Thread it deserves.. Take care Sero 7' ers

Not to drift on this but... when I seen the Screen on the SGT3 8.0 I was stunned at it's Clarity , Brightness and sheer Beauty.. I bought it on the spot.. they have pulled off 800 x 1200 in a way that has to be experienced to understand it. drop by a retailer and take a second to go into the Settings Menu and set it to full Brightness.. You will Quickly understand what I am talking about. :cool:

I'm glad there are some good Sero 7's out there.. I more than likely got a lemon.. but the SGT3 8.0 has spoiled me now.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bast525:
I wasn't sure where to post this since we don't have a Sero section yet.... I modified the build prop of the Sero 7 pro to make the play store think it is a nexus 7 (first gen). Now all of the games that were giving the "this version is not compatible with your device" error are able to be downloaded without issue. Device boots and runs fine. Posting it here until someone says to post it somewhere else better, feel free to repost or put in a ROM but please give credit if you do, hitting the thanks button it's also appreciated :)

You must be rooted to use this. Use a root file explorer, go in to /system/ and rename build.prop to build.prop.bak, then extract the modified build.prop from the attached zip, and move into that folder. You might have to change the permissions to match the existing build.prop. Then reboot tablet and boom... the play store thinks you have a nexus 7. Enjoy!

CMW Touch Flashed :)

Big Thank you xboxexpert Flashed cwm uk and booted to recovery appears to be working fine. Just completed a backup :) thank you for all your hard work! only one question.. got one warning of No file_contexts just under ClockworkMod Recovery... anything to worry about?

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
The kernel will not work because the partitions are different but if someone would like to provide me a team viewer and a UK in cwm I can pull system and compile something. It should be the most updated build by hisense prior.

BTW xboxexpert and those interested I am using a B&N Nook Color CM10 with the same 8gb limitation as the Sero. I used the info from these two links below to manipulate the storage. It may work on the Sero as well. I don't have one yet to try it. Maybe this week I'll do a little shopping.

I have utilized this awesome users machine to pull a /system image from a 32GB UK version. I'm going to test cross compatibility with our US Versions and also edit my post to create a stock rom and deodexed then a UK Version of the US Rom already out there with the fix for daydream on both US and UK builds and I'll also test the build prop mod and if i find it works good I'll add it in to both for us to play with.

This entire process will begin tonight and I'll work on it throughout the weekend my wife just had two wisdom teeth out so I'm in charging of the baby while she's all loopy on prescription drugs for the pain.

First of all, great release! Thank you very much for your efforts!

I have flashed the CWM Touch, and XE-SeroROM v².² 213 DPI P756.6.02.11.00, as well as done the minor tweaks mentioned in post #3 (to enable multi user support). However, I'm seeing one major bug that keeps recurring, that the status bar notifications get stuck in the notification area, and cannot be cleared. The

=

button doesn't clear them, and dragging them sideways removes the text, but leaves an empty space where the entry was. The only thing I've seen that fixes this is a reboot.

Is this is a known bug? Is there a workaround or fix to this? (Maybe I missed a step?) My kids use this tablet primarily, and every time I check it, there's dozens of status updates (from game updates, to game notifications), and none of them can be cleared.

Thanks again!

hi all.

first of big thanks to xboxexpert.

I just brought a hisense. so im actually a newbie to this tablet.

I ordered mine from the US 8gb model, due to the uk version was hard to come by, but after looking after the front page im actually lucky.

but just a simple question, as I don't want to brick it you see. according to step 4, it says I should Run XESeroRootUS.exe. but in the XE_Sero7_Pro_Root there is not a file by that name just XERecovery or XESeroRoot.

Now I want to root my tablet and install CWM on it I assume I have to use XESeroRoot but I just want to make 100% sure that im doing it right.

if xboxexpert can update his instructions on the front page it will be very helpful.

but again thank you very much for your hard work.

We sat there for a good hour and couldnt fix it. We flashed CWM recovery and for the life of us couldn't figure out why it was booting into the stock sero 7 recovery. We tried everything but I think there may be a bootcnt on this device somewhere that needs to be reset. I would like to reach out to other DEVS in hopes of figuring out why when I flash CWM Touch it still booted into the Stock Recovery. It was an isolated incident and I do not think that if will effect any one else but there is a chance that you could get stuck in a boot loop into teh factory recovery.

Again I am totally stumped on why this particular Sero 7 did this. He stated it was a Sero 7 Pro and not a LT...I'm out of ideas for now.

Perhaps tomorrow..
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kekinash:
I got that problem twice in the past. One was when I rebooted to CWM from CWM itself and caused a recovery only boot loop. I was unable to boot to the system. The only solution was to format the system, recovery, boot and data partition and reflash everything again. It was with Viewsonic Gtablet. The second time was that a tablet got somehow a different partition scheme than the rest of the exactly same model, so I used an flash script to rebuild all the tablet partitions to be identical to the rest of the same model tablet. I suspect that table was use as a prototype or for the company developers.

good luck!

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] htcfan85:
I've only ever flashed CWM once (for this S7) so I was wondering that if I wanted to flash xboxexpert's touch version, could I just flash (or is it push?) it on top the of the current one? Or do I have to get rid of the old one somehow? I feel like it might be safe to just push it, but I wanted to make sure to ask here first and also make a backup just in case.

Edit: The second command line doesn't work for me for some reason. This can't be done using adb reboot bootloader, fastboot flash recovery cwm_touch_recovery.img?

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Tool Belt:
My GPS is fine with or without wifi. The GPS Status app works well with speeding up initial lock. Down load it, get on wifi, turn on GPS, tools/manage A-GPS State. Let it lock on. Turn off GPS,wifi. I will be surprised if you cannot lock GPS without wifi after that.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xboxexpert:
I seriously have no idea.

Glad it worked out well.

Yes make one. I looked at the tutorial and got discouraged. I tried to make it but ran into a wall. The xml needed to edit was not in the package where it should have been. I think it has something to do with the fact that the power menu is ONLY POWER on this device there is no reboot menu.

When you flash and format data it removes your GPS data. You would need to resync the GPS data by going outside and leaving it on maps for a while so it can pickup some satellites. There are software out that will allow you to watch progress as it populates.

You also stated GPS only works when Wifi is on, that's not GPS thats location assisted IP address location. Basically it uses the IP address of your ISP to estimate your position. Pretty scarey if you actually think about whats its doing.

It's on par with the N7 in performance, but what tips the scales is the camera, HDMI out, and microSD slot. Granted it has less internal space, but I'll just leave the internal storage for apps and pop a 32 or 64GB card in it for file storage.

I don't have the Sero but do have a Nexus 7 running a custom ROM with tabletUI enabled and a Transformer TF101 with a similar setup. On threads for the ROMs a few people besides me are also having this issue. There doesn't seem to be an app in common that's been found to be causing the issue. What works for me without needing to reboot is to open eWeather. As soon as that app launches it updates its weather notification and that clears the issue. Others in those threads use other apps but what they all seem to have in common is that they update or create a notification as soon as they launch.

Perhaps a similar workaround will help you.
