This guide will teach you the easiest method to root and install CWM on your HP Slate 7 2800! These instructions are for Linux, but you should be able to do this on Windows with the correct drivers instead of the android.rules files.

HP Slate 4600: I need someone to test this with the 4600!

DISCLAIMER: This was successfully tested on my HP Slate 7 2800 on Linux Mint 17. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR TAB IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG!!! Proceed at your own risk!

How to Root:

1. Download Cydia Impactor from http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ and install it.

2. Download and install adb. There are multiple ways to do this. One way is to install the Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and install adb through the SDK manager.

3. Download the android.rules.zip from https://sites.google.com/site/jrc2swebsite/downloads/hp-slate-7-2800 and extract the .zip file.

4. Move the two **-android.rules files to /etc/udev/rules.d and mark as executable. Restart your computer.

5. Enable USB Debugging in Developer Options on the tablet. Connect it to the computer.

6. Open the Terminal Emulator on your computer and change the directory to the path where adb is located like this: cd insert/path/for/adb/ (hit enter)

7. Start adb and scan for devices by running sudo ./adb devices (hit enter.) You should see a serial number with the word device next to it.

8. Minimize adb and start Cydia Impactor. Make sure it says "# drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su." Click "Start." If you get a no device found error, click "Bridge" > "Connect" and then click start again.

9. Reboot your tablet. Download Root Checker from the Play Store to make sure you are rooted. Follow the tutorial in the next post for installing CWM Recovery and the SuperSU app to control which apps are granted root access.

Did the slate 7 have a software update? I will have to check that out. Just to make sure, what is your model number?
[Android General] math_green20:
it is a 2800. I've tried some of the one-click root apps, scripts, and nothing seems to do it, Hp did a nice job at patching this stuff :)

---------- Post added at 01:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 AM ----------

if you have any old update.zip from 1.05.14 or 1.05.10 and can send it to me you'd make my day :)
[Android General] jrc2:
I'll post the link if I have it. Do you know what Android version this update is?

jrc2
[Android General] jrc2:
HP has updated their website and only has the new update.zip there. The only thing I know of is a CWM flashable version of the old update.zip. You can find that at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2608181

Looking at other threads, the OTA does make rooting no longer possible.

[Android General] math_green20:
It is still 4.1.1, I'm back on 1.05.6(The stock CWM flashable one), Idk how I did this but i've been able to get CWM back on my device without rooting, I tried to modify boot.img to disable the install-recovery.sh script, this got me stuck in a bootloop but allowed me to flash CWM and the old firmware back in, I guess I got lucky :)

I got the stock kernel and the Rk30_sdk one to compile but I don't understand how to repack it in boot.img, bootloop everytime. :(

Thanks for the help anyway buddy.

We should make an all-in-one post for this device with firmwares, CWM, rooting options and stuff
[Android General] jrc2:
I sort of started that in the 2nd or 3rd post here, titled "Useful Links".
[Android General] Oddy94:
I simply can't root this device.

Cydia Impactor responds with "signature bugs unavailable" and all this Chinese 1-click root stuff doesn't work at all.

Tried on Linux Mint and Windows 7 (both x64).

The problem might be my firmware, which is v1.05.18_user.

This is the stock firmware that was preinstalled on my tablet.

How can i downgrade the firmware?
[Android General] jrc2:
Sorry I didn't see your post until now! I do not have the latest firmware on my tablet, so I haven't experienced this problem (I decided not to update after seeing the reports of people being unable to update. [MENTION=4939673]math_green20[/MENTION] somehow managed to get it downgraded, but I do not know exactly how he did it. You might be able to figure out something from the previous posts in this thread.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tehriddler:
I used my Xperia V for about a minute underwater to shoot a video of fish with the flashlight on. After taking it out of the water, the screen went dark but the flashlight was still on. I held on the power button to unlock it and the phone vibrated twice. I repeated it again and the light turned on again. After a while I held on the power button and finally the flashlight turned off but I can't turn on the phone after that. I took it back home and rinsed the phone (because it was submerged in a river) while holding the ports tightly closed, dried it with a towel and finally opened it up. There was some water swirling inside the back cover but I don't think it's water damaged. The battery and circuit indicator has turned pink.

It doesn't charge or turn on anymore. Should I just leave it to dry?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Caliban1982:
It's water resistant as in "it can take some rain or some splashes". It isn't designed to be fully submerged under water. Let it dry for some time and hope for the best
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatkata:
Hi there :)

My problem is that my HTC One is unnable to connect me to a wifi... actually it cannot start the wifi at all... neither the bluetooth... it is stuck on "Turning on..." and like that for a few days... I've tried reset, wiping the cache even the squeezing test but none of them gave results... it is still on "turning on...".

Please help me with that because a lot of people are having the same problem. There are solutions where u can rename your phone to HTC One but I CANNOT EVEN DO THAT because the "WiFi Direct" (from where u can rename it) is gray and unclickable.

Thank you in advance!

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rayarny:
Flashed the rom with the wiped data and cache.. Everything runs smooth.. Apart from there is no sound. When playing music, it says this track cant be played.. Whats the solution for this? Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bighobag:
Sony Walkman works fine
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
are you sure?

I tried apollo and Play music and neither of them worked?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Premananda_laishram:
No problem

Works fine for me too. I use mxplayer with Viper for Android. Removed apollo music player and DSP manager-redundant.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rayarny:
I also tried with apollo and play music.. Neither of them worked.. Also I tried playing couple of games.. All of their images were getting chopped.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
Can you play music through the speakers?

Interesting the keyboard clicks sound off but no media files do. Mixer_path.XML issue?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Premananda_laishram:
No problem

Yes
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
No problems for me except for both of those players.

Every sound works fine. no other issue.

Can someone please share logs? I checked in my logs and there was nothing that could have broken the music.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
Sorry I don't do logcats. It's not just the okays though. Try selecting a ringtone or notification sound using settings and nothing will play.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Premananda_laishram:
The problem exist in my phone too.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
I guess thats not a bug exactly.

WHen you try to change the volume then it does play the sound.

anyways i wil try today the walkman to see if it works

I did another build for another device and everything seems to be alright there. Even the music player .

:rolleyes: Things are getting strange here !
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bighobag:
speaker, headphones both bluetooth and in-line all works fine. Sony Walkman 8.4.A.1.4 from search on xda-developers.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
That is very ODD that this is happening to some and not others. I will do a reflash again and see. I use good play because I don't physically have music on my phone. I just stream everything.

Great Rom, for me, everything appears to work, Recovery & Sound (so far ;) )

Apollo fails to play my music, but other audio apps work.

P.S. This is a CM base not AOSP. ;)

Edit: Needs the camera fix.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] amk:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Yes, System sounds are not being played, If I cannot hear an call coming in, it's time for me to return to my previous ROM.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mauam:
I have the same error when try to update my CM11. Never happened, it started a few nightlies ago. Anyway I still can update my rom, but it takes much more time.

1-make a backup

2-go in recovery

3-do a factory reset

4-flash the update

5-go to restore

6-select your backup

7-restore only data & cache

8-reboot

9-that's it

Sound fix?

I was just wondering if you had an ETA for a version of this ROM with the sound problem fixed? I'd love to try your ROM but can't because of the sound problem.

Thank you!

Chris R.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
Only apollo has no sound and walkman and poweramp and other players do.

2. The ringtone selector doesnt play ringtone preview, :confused: but i dont think thats a a bug exactly.

So its almost stable if you use walkman instead of apollo.

I am working on it and i hope i will soon be able to get it straight.

hi,

how can i show navbar button in landscape screen?

i cannot quit video player as there is no back buttton :(

ZU c6833
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] crodgers79:
My results...

Thanks for your reply! I tried it out on my C6806 and you're correct, the ringtone preview doesn't work. The only other bug I found was that Google Play Music just doesn't work, it repeatedly says "The track you selected cannot be played" or "The music service is unavailable try again later.." Of course, I checked the service from my tablet and it was fine.. I tried Slacker and Pandora and those music apps worked fine but Google Play Music just won't play. And I'm sorry, Google Play Music is one of my top two apps so I reverted back to 14.108 Sony ROM based on the 6833.

I'm hoping that you can resolve this error, the ROM otherwise looked really sweet!!

Thanks again for your reply,

Chris R.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
UPDATE!

I really like this rom, thank you for the effort you put into it!

I downloaded and flashed it yesterday and it seems to be working fine, also I love all the options it offers. I have not tried the music apps that were said not te be working earlier but I did notice that ringtone preview indeed doesn't work, has this issue been fixed in the new build?

You can root with dualrecovery installer, then be sure you have TA partition backed up BEFORE unlocking bootloader.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
small point, restoring the DRM keys (TA partition) will relock the bootloader)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Saatvik Shukla:
Sorry but i dont think its like that.

Restoring TA just restores the TA. how can it relock the boot loader? and if it does how can we use DRM dependent content even after unlocking? Say for instance music Info? it still works?

Correct me if i am wring
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
KitKat removed some of the DRM and unlock problems. I've never had a need to restore the TA but I do believe that it will relock the BL. I've seen posts from people that should know, and from users that have 'soft bricked' their zu's

Edit:

Just tested and restoring the TA does indeed relock the BL on a new ZU-GPe
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Premananda_laishram:
I agree. From my experience restoring TA always locked my bootloader. I didn't check DRM contents though.

How to end application half way eg.in game or video if status bar not available?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I want to say "Open up the USB and SIM flaps and drop into salted water" but I suspect a swipe from the bottom will enable the nav bar allowing you to use as normall with out having to buy a new ZU each time you launch a full screen app
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Chima2:
Salt-water is a tried and true method indeed. Engaging your phone in a battle with gravity can also work.
