For Windows 8 / 8.1 64 Bit you will need to allow unsigned drivers

Go to change pc settings in windows 8.

Navigate to Update and Recovery

Advanced start up

Restart Now

When your computer restarts you will click troubleshoot

Advanced options

Start up settings

Restart Again

Disable Driver Signature enforcement

Alternatively you can just use windows search and type in advanced start up and click change advanced start up options as a fast way to get there.

I'll keep that in mind if I ever use my Windows 8 Machine for ADB and this tab. As is it right now, my MicroSDXC connection (Solder) is loose. I will have to probably re-solder the joints.

Very good information with the Windows 8 though.

[Android General] social-design-concepts:
This was request for the dell venue 8 HP has some many root options already.
[Android General] duboisj:
CM port?

I see - thanks. I didn't get that from the original post, but should have read more closely.

The github linked from your xda profile looks like a start at a CM port for the HP 1800. Does anything actually work yet?
[Android General] social-design-concepts:
No it was an attempt at recovery but I switched over to the dell venue 7 still Intel device I was never able to test cause of not being able to flash unsigned images, but I have a theory on a way that i might be able to flash unsigned images now but my device isn't rooted yet to test.
[Android General] duboisj:
You think you may be able to flash unsigned images on the 1800, or the Dell?

I've been interested in getting CM running on the hp 1800, but I'm new to the process and it would be my first try getting CM running on a new platform. I got CM running on an X86 emulator, which it didn't seem to out of the box, but even that took me some time. I suppose flashing unsigned images is the only hope for CM on an HP 1800, although I'm not clear on how much customization could be achieved without that ability.
[Android General] social-design-concepts:
Its a theory after I get my tax refund I might get another hp1800la and attempt patching the boot.img to use dell Android 4.3 system dump.

I'm keeping the theory closed for now until I get the venue rooted or it tested on the HP.
[Android General] social-design-concepts:
Didn't work for flashing unsigned images did work for dumping the boot recovery and droidboot that are flashable.
[Android General] duboisj:
boot recovery and droidboot that are flashable?

Sorry - I don't understand. What does that mean?
[Android General] social-design-concepts:
i was trying to find a way to get around flashing images that are not signed, but the process even though i can get around recovery.zip signing still when it goes to flash the images checks the signature but the method that i use will dump flashable images off the device but thats of no real use to the hp since they provide them in the update.zip

my hp was more of a test dummy for things i'm trying to figure out on the Dell Tablet since the HP had multi ways of rooting and had a way to restore for the most part, they are similar devices when it comes to how somethings work.
[Android General] markdapimp:
I'm keeping my eye on this thread for any new development :eek:
[Android General] teddyearp:
^^^ as am I. Quite late to the party but you cannot beat the price! I appreciate all the posts, just wish the one guy didn't delete most of his. But no matter, all I want from root is Ad Blocker and MyBackupPro to work fairly well, since I will have to use some of my 'older' versions of apps from previous MBP backups on this device; not even sure root is need for that.
[Android General] moxfyre:
I just got one of these tablets and have been trying something similar. I took the recovery.img and modified the kernel command line from this:

init=/init pci=noearly [b]console=logk0[/b] earlyprintk=nologger loglevel=4 hsu_dma=7 kmemleak=off androidboot.bootmedia=sdcard androidboot.hardware=P702T ip=50.0.0.2:50.0.0.1::255.255.255.0::usb0:on emmc_ipanic.ipanic_part_number=1

To this:

init=/init pci=noearly [b]console=ttyUSB0,9600n8[/b] earlyprintk=nologger loglevel=4 hsu_dma=7 kmemleak=off androidboot.bootmedia=sdcard androidboot.hardware=P702T ip=50.0.0.2:50.0.0.1::255.255.255.0::usb0:on emmc_ipanic.ipanic_part_number=1

My thinking was that I would be able to look at the recovery kernel log messages over a USB connection (it turns out this is unnecessary, they get saved in /logs/recovery_apklog anyway).

Flashboot was happy to flash this modified recovery, but when booting nothing appears other than a USB logo with a progress bar under it. I'm not sure what triggered it... failed signature verification, or something else. This USB logo situation seems to be some kind of low-level interface to the Medfield SoC (USB ID 8086:E004). I'll play around with it more later.
[Android General] social-design-concepts:
I wish you all the luck but to give you a heads up the images are signed and won't boot unless signed with the same key integrated into the ifiw :(
[Android General] moxfyre:
Thanks, that's what I suspected as well. Documentation for IFWI seems rather scant :-/
[Android General] pm-cz:
The actual application for signing + some description of the images and image building process may be found in a Russian 4PDA forum, but it looks like the signing uses asymmetric cryptography, so even if you could extract the keys from IFWI image, they would be only public keys. And messing with IFWI image seems like a sure way to brick the phone/tablet (+ I guess they may be asymmetrically signed by Intel as well).

Unsigned images can be flashed but they did not work in Dell Venue 7 so I think they won't work for you as well :(.
[Android General] moxfyre:
I've been playing around with modifying the device firmware and finding that it is (thankfully) very difficult to brick this thing, because you can typically reload the firmware (IFWI) using xfstk (sourceforge.net/projects/xfstk).

I've had some luck getting it to execute unsigned code (or so it seems) by tweaking fastboot.img or boot.img and loading that as the "OSImage" using xfstk. At best, though, it just freezes the tablet and the screen turns solid white.

Does anyone have a link to the thread where someone contacted HP encouraging them to release the source and/or signing keys?
[Android General] lrose79:
Would like to say that doing it the way JJMAN1st said on page 4 works but not perfect....

After downloading everything I rooted my Girlfriends HP 7 1800 in like 10 minutes.

Her tablet is on Android Version 4.1.2

View attachment 3042203

Here is a list of the commands to give you a idea if your having trouble for it to take because at first I was having trouble getting the commands to start.

I can open up Root check app and it says it's rooted but when trying to use Gamekiller, and XmodGame app it's like it's not rooted properly....

Gamekiller keeps throwing errors up "Failed to read memory (-3, 38)!" when I try to search for things, and XGameMod says it's not rooted but it is...

I go into SuperSU and grant the apps Super user permission but still does the same thing...

So my only guess is this root isn't 100%
[Android General] SkipWire:
ADB + TWERKMyMOTO works

Android version 4.1.2

No problem rooting HP 7 1800 using JJMAN1st instructions.
[Android General] lrose79:
now install a app called Game Killer from Google play store and see if it's giving any type of error message, Also try a app called XmodGame and see if it runs without locking up or saying that it needs to be rooted.

Because after fallowing his guide I'm having these troubles.

Thanks everyone! I have rooted my tablet! :D

I was able to root using instructions from: konnspiracy and JJMAN1st

Had to add line to adb usb drivers and allow Windows 8.1 x64 to install unsigned drivers.

Device ROOTED.

Now to see if there is anything else I can do.
[Android General] sufood:
Thanks!

Rooted mine yesterday! Thanks to all.

I more-or-less followed the instructions by Balian67 as I was using a Windows 7 32-bit laptop.

I differed in that I just installed the Android SDK to the default directories and I didn't have to do Steps 11 through 16. In fact I never did find a adb_usb.ini file anywhere on my PC.

There were also some differences in the directory paths as some of the Androind SDK stuff is placed in the user profile folders. I just used the Windows file search utility to find the items.

I also used the instructions by JJMAN1st as rough outline as well.

I also have a Github repo for the kernel source (HP_7_18XX_Open_Source_20140206) I downloaded from HP. I will provide it if anyone is interested.

Need Major Help

Okay guys. I am a major noob when it comes to android. I have been in the IT field since before it had a title, and it has always been focused on Microsoft products. I can even code in several different formats, but when it comes to Android I am completely lost.

I bought this HP 7 1800 (back on that black Friday when it came out) for my youngest son so he could get started with his own electronic experience. He has since matured enough to buy him a new tablet with many more features, specs, and storage. Now, I have this tablet with what feels like an ancient version of Android, and cannot install a lot of newer apps because of it. I want to start learning more about Android, and can kill the two birds with one stone.

I came to this forum after searching for a way to install a newer version of Android, but as I go through the steps it appears that is geared toward someone who knows the OS, so here goes nothing.

Assuming I know absolutely NOTHING about Android, because I do not... how do I get a newer version of Android installed on this tablet?????? PLEASE BE DETAILED AND SPECIFIC!!!!!! I have the tablet, the original cable, and am running a 64bit version of windows 8.1 Professional.
[Android General] social-design-concepts:
I had this as my first Intel tablet sadly the bootloader is locked so upgrading to a newer version of android is a no gk :( so the place to start is with contacting HP to see if they have a bootloader unlock available.
[Android General] SirSteven:
Let me ask you this., then. I have a game I want to play that is available for a newer version of android, and will not open on this tablet's older version of Android. Is there a way to force it to load or open?
[Android General] sufood:
Do you have the .apk file for the game? If so, then you can just manually install the game as long as you enable installing of apps from unknown sources.

If you or a friend have an android device with the game installed then you can get the .apk file from them. AirDroid makes it fairly easy to find and transfer the .apk file you want.

There are other methods of getting the .apk files, but I'm not terribly familiar with those methods.

I can't seem to upgrade my ADB from 1.0.29 and therefore ADB won't connect to my phone... really weird. I have been googling it for about 45 minutes and can't seem to get anything to work... I have the Android SDK manager that I launched and updated the "Android SDK Platform-tools" but its still not updating my ADB versioin?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
Found This

This is my problem I think...

"It turns out I had my ANDROID_SDK_HOME environment variable pointing to an old location which no longer existed. It hadn't caused any other problems (strangely) but it appears to have been preventing the RSA authentication process from happening. Probably should've seen it when I was checking the PATH variable the other week, but never mind.

I found the strange location by running the following and checking the readout:

adb kill-server

set ADB_TRACE=all

adb nodaemon server

After updating the location and restarting my PC, it's now working just fine. Thanks to all who responded."

How do I change my ANDROID_SDK_HOME environment variable?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
The questions I had were: Why is my ADB not updating from 1.0.29 to 1.0.31 and why is my RSA fingerprint not working when I plug my USB into my phone?

Just to give an update in case someone else google's this or is curious... this is what you have to do... (at least in Windows XP)

I found that I had an old version of ADB under an "Android" folder on my C:\Program Files. This was the problem and what I did to fix it. First of all, after I made sure I had the correct version actually downloaded through Android SDK Manager (it was downloaded to C:\Android SDK folder I believe).

right click on "My Computer" and click on "Properties". Then click on "Advanced" and click on "Environment Variables". Once in here, you need to double click on "Path" under the "System Variables" and fix the last part of it to point to where your updated ADB is by adding ;c:\ and then whatever directory/folder it is in, i.e. ";c:\Android SDK". Then you will need to click on "New" under the "System Variables" box and add "ANDROID_SDK_HOME" as the Variable name, and then your variable value will be the folder where your updated ADB file is (i.e. C:\Android SDK). Note: I also deleted my old "Android" folder under my program files. Now I am updated and everything is working fine!

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
First recover the /rom partition.

16 Meg is the correct size.

Copy all the files to someplace safe.

Make it read-only, burn a CD, whatever.

Make sure that you have sane files.

It would be best if you restore the partition table using nookpart.sh

You need to either use a Linux system and noogie or else get Clockwork Mod Recovery and ADB working and use that shell.

[Nook Touch General] yeahman45:
what nook simple touch glowlight image did you write onto it?

1) Do you have a backup?

2) First thing to do before making any change is to backup, Use this guide to make a proper backup : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1142983

How did you exactly got the "install failed" problem?
[Nook Touch General] marya.a:
I know that link, but it doesnt work right know, my nook is bricked.

I wrote a nook sp glowlight backup that I found in a forum from here. It has around 79 mb (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1836188&page=4) and I know I need a 1.82gb backup.

Well, my problem is---> I deleted all paritions from my nook when I was rooting it. I have two backups but any of these works. The first one I made has 79mb (as the file I downloaded from this page) but I think I made it in wrong way; and a second one wich has 1.82gb I think I had made it AFTER I deleted the partitions, because it has anything. But, as I told you, I've made a lot of tries with noogie, and the file I downloaded is the only one that works....so when I wrote the file of the link, the "install failed" appears.

What can I do?

The only solution I see now is: find out a COMPLETE nook sp backup, but I have read that the "complete backups" of 1.82gb have personal information about the reader or something like that, and one wants to share it.

What do u know about it?
[Nook Touch General] yeahman45:
1) First thing to do before making any change is to backup, Use this guide to make a proper backup : http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1142983

2) Then, with minitool partition manager, use partition recovery (full scan) to recover your partitions especially the ROM partition (the essential partition). Copy the ROM partition to an unallocated space on your harddrive or usb drive.
