HP 7 Slate 4400US Extreme Successful Root w/Kingo Root APK

Hi all,

I recently bought my HP 7 Slate 4400US Extreme tablet at Amazon. The Build Number is KOT49H.19093_475.2068

I was able to root it with Kingo Root APK. No computer was needed. It did take two attempts but rooted on the second attempt.

The Kingo Root APK download installs Kingo SuperUser that grants apps requesting Root access, access.

I tried Installing SuperSU by Chainfire and uninstalling the Kingo SuperUser. When I uninstalled Kingo SuperUser I lost my root status.

So I re-rooted using the Kingo Root APK. I have blocked the Kingo SuperUser from communicating without a password. I have not noticed any malicious activity. Everything seems to be working fine. It has been on the tablet for two (2) weeks now.

Hope this helps for those intending to Root their HP 7 Slate 4400US Extreme tablets.

Paul

My Slate was not rooted and I have the same problem after the 1.05.17 update, the SD card is not accesible.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ivan.beograd:
It seems that HP don't care much about users. HP customer support is... well 0 is a big rating for them. Their reaction comes down to "**** happens". Discussions are conducted in the HP website, but solution is far away, i think. HP messed up my and other people device and what - nothing. Pity, cos slate 7 was ok for me. We'll see what else will happen with the issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] math_green20:
Hp released a new update that fixes the sd card issues(make sure to download the revB). Has anyone been able to get root back on the new fw? Both cydia and bin4ry don't seem to work anymore on 1.05.17. Has anyone been able to remount /system as rw yet? Please let me know if you guys got anything.

Does HP Slate 17-l010 root like Skate 7

Want to root HP Slate 17-l010. Any insights whether these techniques for rooting Slate 7 also work on the HP Slate 17-l010 !?!

TIA
[Miscellaneous Android Development] math_green20:
Just delete su from /system/bin and remove whatever root management app you installed(SuperUser, SuperSu or whatever), or run an Ota update if your Slate isn't up to date

Hi,

Same problem here... stuck with the last update 1.05.18...

Impossible to root, to install CWM, or to flash the previous firmware. I've tried all known methods without success :crying: :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] poulette73:
I've tried to downgrade firmware without success... that was the only solution to root again.

Tested with 1.05.10, 1.05.14 and 1.05.17 :

Can anybody knows if it's possible to force downgrading ? (maybe with mods in update.zip file ?)

Thanks for your help :good:

Is there a way to root without a PC ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lordodin912:
[MENTION=4491818]poulette73[/MENTION] my slate 7 2800 won't boot into download mode.....idk if it can be fixed or if there would be a way to root/downgrade without entering DL mode.....any help appreciated. Recovery/adb work fine and running on latest update BTW.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] poulette73:
Hi,

It isn't exactly "download mode" (like on a smartphone as Samsung Galaxy Sx) but a restart in "bootloader mode".

To do this you have to use this step :

Do not be surprised, when the tablet restarts in bootloader mode : the screen remains frozen on the HP logo .

But HP Slate isn't stuck ;)

If you were able to install the correct drivers (not standard drivers, nor ADB drivers) you will be able to continue with ROM_Dumper_Tool.exe or ROM_Flash_Tool_137.exe... depends on where you left off.

I hope you will get there, by following the process everything should be fine.

But if you fail to enter in bootloader mode, I can't help you much more.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lordodin912:
Ooooooooo OK well then it boots into download mode then the comp(win8) says USB unreconginzed. Doesnt show up in adb either. Installed moborobo and used the .inf file to update drivers....hmmm
[Miscellaneous Android Development] poulette73:
I remember !

You must have RockChip USB drivers for your HP Slate to be recognized with USB in "bootloader mode".

Try do download and install this : Rockusb Driver v3.5 and/or this : Rockchip driver USB fix

Choose the right version for you Windows (or maybe try many of them). Then try to reboot the computer too.

Hoping that it will help you! :good:

(I've tried in both windows 8 x64 and 10 x64 and it works)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] poulette73:
Hi,

Another important point since Windows 8 : you'll have to disable the integrated check of unsigned drivers :good:

To do this many topics :

http://www.craftedge.com/tutorials/driver_install_windows8/driver_install_win8.html

http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/disabling-driver-signature-on-windows-8

.../...

After that, you can install RockChip USB driver without any worry ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lordodin912:
[MENTION=4491818]poulette73[/MENTION] cant seem to get it to work right. Tried installing drivers(multiple) and the fix, made sure it copied the files, while in bootloader, ot shows up as rockusb class but with triangle. Should I not be in bootloader when installing these drivers? Followed guide to unsigned drivers but while not in bootloader it tells me that theres no driver file found make sure ita for x64 blahblahblah.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] poulette73:
Aaaargh..... difficult to go further without having the material at hand.

Yes you're right, when you reboot with HP Slate 7 :

- in "booloader mode" AND

- in Windows 8 with "non-signed drivers verification check" (sorry for my english)

You can go into Device Manager, choose devices with triangle and select "Have drivers" then go to the .inf files and try them..

I'm very sorry if it does not work for you.... :crying:

I think I have been as far as I could, really sorry :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rickyreyne:
and for 4600?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] poulette73:
Sorry I do not have this tablet.

This question was already asked me in PM, and I don't know where to find much older firmwares for this model...

So it's best to do your own searches for firmware versions, to test and come back to share your results here. ;)

Hello,

Sorry to reply to an old topic but I am the owner of an HP Slate 7 2800, and would like to flash with your " update-cwm-slate-7-supersu-1.05.18.zip " but it is no more available on Mega or 4shared, would you mind to reupload it somewhere ? Thank you very much in advance :unsure:

I have the MEElectronics M6P with inline mic headphones. When I connect the headphones to the One, it does not recognize that the headphones are connected. All sound goes to the speakers.

Has anyone had similar issues? The HTC one will recognizes headphones without an inline mic. I believe the issue is with the length of the jack.

It's very disappointing I can't use my everyday headphones with the One. Attached is a picture of the jack on the headphones.

Hey,

I installed Doomkernel and the wifi modules perfectly fine. I installed JokaWild following the linked guide, and while it does say that the first reboot may take a while, it's been an hour and it hasn't booted yet; it's just stuck on the Doomkernel picture.

I'm pretty sure I did nothing wrong. Am I to wait more or try turning off/on or what?

Thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konstruktor:
sure the installation of jokawild was successful?

try wipe everything (factory reset, system, caches) and install joka again. after that you can install the wifi modules.

btw: what doomkernel did you install? v14?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InnocentSam:
Thanks! Because I had to install it again, I ran CWM through Fastboot and it seemed to be an updated version. I did what you said and it worked fine. Cheers!

So my update is on Sept 1, and I plan on going anywhere I need to in order to find a MDL phone. I

NEED

my CM10.2! haha:angel:.

What are the chances I'll find one? I know they are getting slimmer by the minute, but I'm thinking maybe some rural Target or BB may have one? I've been trying to get my update anytime I'm near a store, but they all tell me I have to wait for the 1st of the Month. dumbbb.

Or do I wait for Note 3/LG G2/new Sony? (i know, i know, s4 forum...)

Or do I wait for the new iphone, sell it on fleabay/cl, and buy a Google Edition s4?

I dont NEED to update right away... But my skyrocket battery is KILLING me.

AHHH I hate this!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] r8revealed:
I'm on MF3 and I'm suffering with Touchwiz (I'm a huge fan of AOSP).

I'm pretty sure the Note 3 (from AT&T at least) will have a locked boot loader so it'll be the same situation us MF3 users are in right now.

Since MF3 has been out since July, I'd think that many/most S4's would have it. If you're willing to sell/buy unlocked, go ahead for the Google edition(I personally like black mist much more than white frost, which is what the Google edition comes with. ;)).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
Actually, ask if the employee would be kind enough to let you see the stickers on their boxes. The side of the box shows the firmware revision (on brand new devices only). The employees, nor AT&T would have absolutely no reason to update something in-the-box like that, so this sticker should be accurate. It's the same sticker that includes all the serial numbers/etc.

It may or may not be beneficial to explain that you want a specific version of the firmware, otherwise the employee(s) may get a bit suspicious of a request like this. They may think you are trying to steal IMEI numbers or something stupid. :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] teeg07:
Thats what my plan was to do. I'll say something about it performing better or something (even though we all know its not true. I love playing dumb ;) )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
Not exactly a lie. In the very end, MDL does perform better, because we can flash 'whatever' firmware we want... some of which can perform better. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] atomicspaceindian:
whatever you do, DONT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET. install through apk's and then go to cm10.2. you can get terminal and the goomanager files, and install w/o internet....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] txtech89:
Just ask to check it out before you buy. Most sales persons won't have an issue with it. Find one with MDL baseband and ask them to Leave it in box and that you prefer to set it up yourself

I'm running cm 10.2 on my s4 its so much better than touch wiz and the only feature I miss is the Samsung camera app.

Also I agree don't connect to the internet until after you have rooted and flashed a custom ROM as you can only delay the mf3 update 3 times before it auto installs

Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] teeg07:
That was the plan guys- thanks! I've done my homework :)

I think thats what I'm gonna do. I'll see if I can find a MDL, and if not.... i'll cross that bridge when i get there.

Thanks for the help, friends!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:
Well, from here on out...ATT released a statement a few weeks ago stating they no longer will be supporting unlocked devices...which means all their smart phones will theoretically have a locked boot loader.

With that said...personally I wouldn't get another device and sell it for the Google edition. As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong someone) the Google edition does not support touchwiz ROMs, only aosp. However you can get the T-Mobile variant which has an unlocked boot loader and allows you to flash anything from touch wiz to aosp based ROMs to the actual Google edition ROM...plus the T-Mobile supports all the bands that ATT uses so you won't have problems with service
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] atomicspaceindian:
the google edition (i9505G) is theoretically an i9505 running a nexus firmware... you should have no issues running a touchwiz rom made for i9505.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mrLtoyou:
funny thing is when i got mine it was on MDL from at&t about a month and a half ago and it never onced tried to update. then i had to do a factory reset which put me on MDB and i want to go back to MDL. theres an over the air update now that im on MDB but i froze the apk because im scared its the MF3 firmware. i'd love to go back to MDL though is that even possible ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
I seen a little bit of bad information here that I feel I should clear up.

When you first get your device on MDL. Just don't insert the SIM card. You can power it on, and keep wifi completely open. No airplane mode needed. The OTA is pushed through on the AT&T network. If you don't have the SIM in on boot, it will not pull the update. The reason behind this is that the Phone verifies the network you are connected to. It can't verify AT&T without the SIM.

The only way you could possibly get the update without the SIM in is if you turn the phone on with the activated SIM, at this point it calls for the update. When on WiFi, it downloads it. So as soon as it calls for the update, you then need to remove required items to stop it. Even if you pull the SIM it will continue the download. So just don't turn it on with the SIM in it. I know this from personal experience and reading the Forums.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] teeg07:
Thanks for the clear up! I was under the impression it would download as soon as i was connected to wifi.

Thanks again!:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Agent:
Even if it downloads you don't have to install it. You can always disable the apps that prompt you to update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Caligula36:
I was in the same boat, being ready to upgrade after MF3 was released.

I spent the last two days checking 7 different ATT stores in the Los Angeles area for a 16GB S4 with the MDL firmware, unfortunately they had all been sold or replaced with the newer update. I was lucky to find one store that still had a 32GB version with MDL. I really dont need the extra 16GB, especially for an extra $50, but as long as i can Loki the damn thing Im happy. You might have to look for a 32GB version if you want a chance to find one as these do not sell anywhere near as frequently as the 16GB model.

Just do not put the SIM in until you block the OTA packages.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ashyford:
The above quote is inaccurate. I purchased a used MDL S4 during the last week of August. For the first few days, I did not activate the SIM. However, whenever I turned on Wi-Fi, the update would start to download immediately.

Short story: I placed the su binary and su app on the root of the internal sd card via Samsung Kies, ran CASUAL to root the phone and install twrp, downloaded Quick Terminal via my desktop, placed Quick Terminal on the phone via Kies, installed it, then used Quick Terminal to disable the three apps causing the OTA update as well as delete the fragment of the update that downloaded via Wi-Fi. (I posted the commands in the loki, motochopper thread.)

After doing this, I activated the SIM and didn't have to rush to find a ROM since OTA was disabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ~wolverine~:
Just got back from upgrading to the S4. I asked the clerk to look for a MDB or MDL and lo and behold he walked out from the back with a Black Mist 16GB MDL in his hand. Damn am I glad. :good:

I know there's got to be more people here capable of compiling a kernel than just the CyanogenMod team. Now that we're "official" a lot of 3rd party kernels that borrow from the d2 (Galaxy S III) CyanogenMod tree include everything you need to compile an alternate kernel for apexq.

Also porting to other roms like AOKP or Paranoid Android is typically a matter of minor changes to the build files. Almost everyone uses CyanogenMod as a base or keeps up with CyanogenMod so the differences, if any, should be minimal.
