Argh! I can't find the setting to turn on the debugging. I have seen it in the past. Does anyone know where it is?

I found it. You have to go to Settings> About Tablet> Build Number> Tap that a bunch of times, and it will enable Developer Options.

Slatebook X2 ADB Debugging settings

Greetings,

I was trying to use the following link and instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2660208 to install the ADB drivers for the Slatebook x2, but it did not work, so i did my own investigation, and I found out, for my case, the following settings worked as a charm in android_winusb.inf :

; HP Slatebook x2

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_03F0&PID_691D

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_03F0&PID_691D&MI_01

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_03F0&PID_691D&Rev_0232&MI_01

Hope this helps someone ...

unfotunatly HP is slow to fix anything just driving me nuts buying the cable then finding out 4.3 can't be rooted yet
[General Questions and Answers] Popol640001:
Hello,

I think if you buy the Slatebook you will have Android 4.2 onboard. I don't really see HP wasting time to flash all their tablets with 4.3. The 4.3 update has to be "manually" installed, I mean that you have to download it and then, install it. I bought my Slatebook 32Go just one month ago and the system was 4.2.2.

So if you buy the cable too, no reason that you can't root the Slatebook :)

Unfortunaly I made the error of upgrading on 4.3 so it will be difficult to root now by my side... My cable is ordered and may arrive the next week... wait & see !

Best regards to all
[General Questions and Answers] tminus3:
Did a search, but coundn't find any simimular posts, so I wonder if anyone else has touchscreen sensitivity issues? I received an(refurbished) Slatebook x2 yesterday. I bought it as a replacement for my aging rockchip rk3066 tablet, which has more and more trouble playing my favorite game; Real Racing 3.

The slatebook handles the game in high detail with ease, but I'm getting screen input errors. The screen does occasionally not register my brake input on the bottom left hand side of the screen. Or it registers my braking action only briefly, resulting in a crash or off-track excursion every time.

I've lost a couple of very frustrating races since receiving the the tablet yesterday, and had to incur a few unneccesary 4+ hour repair sessions.

Anyone know of a fix for this? Otherwise I'm returning the slatebook, however much I like it's other features.

Ps, the problem occured on both 4.2.2. and 4.3 stock roms. There was an EC update I didn't install yet, but I'd like to find some info on what it does first, before installing that.
[General Questions and Answers] scanline:
first thing I would do before returning is press volume rocker down while holding power the second the white HP logo shows let go of the buttons and you will get the boot menu try wiping the cache then reboot
[General Questions and Answers] tminus3:
Thanks for the tip scanline. I gave it a go, but made no improvement.

It seems the problem occurs more frequently when the battery gets low, but have to do some more racing to make sure.

I've experimented a bit with hand placement, and it looks like the problem does not occur when I place my thumb on the very bottom of the screen.

*update* still having issues,thumb placement does not help, neither does a fully charged battery. Looks like I might have to return the Slatebook :(
[General Questions and Answers] MADCastro:
I would like to make some questions to the rooted users (mainly) before buying it.

*Is it possible to change the screen resolution through the terminal (or at least use GLTools for the games)?

*Anyone tried to use FolderMount on it?

*Does it support USB Sticks, USB and Bluetooth Mouses, USB 3G Modems, USB HUBs, HP USB Printers, USB Ethernet Adapters and Bluetooth Joypads?

*Am i able to use the tablet in a 1080p HDMI TV?

*Am i able to use tablet stylus on it?

*Is the screen resolution good for reading or writing office documents?

*Is the game performance good at the 1200p native resolution?

*Has anyone used a 128GB SD Card on the dock and a 64GB MicroSD Card on the tablet? I want to let the Dock SD Card for media and the Tablet MicroSD card for games.

*Is there some way i can have multiuser?

*Is there some way to downgrade Android versions?

Hello Groumfi,

Did you manage to build a CWM by now ?

I just received my cable today. My problem is that I have done the upgrade to Android 4.3, so I'm afraid about bricking the tablet by trying the root method you posted :silly:

Hope to read news from you, best regards dude !

P.S.: I've tested a XDHC 64Go card on the tablet and it isn't recognized, but I think it could result from the format of the card. And here, USB mouse and wireless mouse just work great with the tablet.

Bootable CWM !

Hi there,

I've been able to build a bootable CWM which didn't brick my device.

It is not 100% functional mainly due to wrong partition table (can't see neither internal nor external sdcards) but I should fix it shortly. However it is usable to flash thru sideload.

So, dear 4.3 users, if you want to achieve root (assuming you've already unlocked bootloader):

Download recovery_maya-0.1.img and UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip from this post

Ensure USB debugging is on and connect the tablet

Reboot to bootloader: adb reboot bootloader

Boot downloaded recovery: fastboot -i 0x03F0 boot recovery_maya-0.1.img

Wait a couple of seconds for CWM to start on the tablet

On the tablet, select Install zip and then Install zip from sideload

Once sideload is ready, install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip: adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip

Wait for install to finish, reboot and enjoy

Notice :

I have updated my device to 4.3 to ensure this is working properly. For those who still have 4.2.2, this method will also work as developper Chainfire has implemented 4.3 and olders in SuperSU zip

DO NOT FLASH this version of CWM. I've not tested flashing and it might brick your device

they say that for reinstalling HP softwares, there is a little script to modify. Don't know if it could help to downgrade 4.3 to 4.2.2 but perhaps it merits to give a try on this.

Cable

Guys,

I've been really anxious to get root on X2, and now that it's done, I'm stuck again.

That stupid cable that some of you got for $42 in the US (and call it expensive) is available in Europe for 70-80eur :D That's over 100usd. I really CANNOT find it anywhere for some normal price, and that still doesn't include the shipping.

The one on Amazon ($53 currently) cannot ship into my country - Slovakia, EU. I'm just thinking what the hell I'm supposed to do...any thoughts are welcome :) Of course, unless there is a magician that would create just a simple "update.zip" to be installed via bootloader, like the old Android times, but that would have already happened if it was possible...i guess :)

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] Jorge_O:
Hello, my first post

I´ve been following this thread with great interest as an owner of the Slatebook X2, now with Android 4.3

I would like to comment on some quite serious problems of the X2 in my opinion (most of them are in HP's support forum):

- The base battery, when connected to the tablet and tablet turned off, discharges 15% in 24h in mine, more reported in others, Disconnected from the tablet battery keeps 100% after 24h. It looks like an hardware design flaw (I´m an EE).

I opened a support request, was given a support number and that was all. No return from HP´s side after many days.

- There is an USB port in base but you cannot use a 3G modem as HP decided to remove all code for 3G from Android. Support request by other people in the forum was replied by HP as "use WiFi".

- The camera is so poor that one cannot use it to read bar codes no matter what app is used. QR seems to work.

This will be my last HP purchase. Lousy quality, support.

The problem about rewiring an power supply brick i see is, that the pins asignment of charger and usb debug cable are different. So not just different connections, the pins aren't even the same. Thats why i thought of printing it myself. This way i would asign any pin i want.

I definitely agree with your complains about HP. As an Android software developer I got an HP Slate 21 on my table the last week. At first I was like... Yeah I want that too *.* however, I soon fall from my dreams. It is running a tetra 4 chip set with just 1gb of RAM. there are just devices with 8 or 16 GB of internal space (in an desktop PC), USB debug runs with mal2male USB cable (I'll never need this ugly thing again) but only if its USB < 3.
