Here is the rom with most hp stuff gone and gapps working.

To flash:

Put all three files on root of sd card

Power off the zeen

While Pressing and holding both volume buttons, press the power button and continue pressing volumes.

A prompt will appear with status bars signaling the flash.

Follow all prompts.

Well, I tried the ROM that lynxdog posted in post #468.

It loaded, but I cannot do the update, because the docking part of my printer is broken, and it won't let me update without being docked.

So I guess it's still bricked... :crying:

Dead as a doornail, can't even get my Zeen into the dock for some reason.

Thanks for this. Works on my eStation Zeen, Product Number CQ720A (I'm assuming that's slightly different than the C150?). Seems like the Market problem might not be fixed yet though, I get the same behavior as in post #459. When I try to add an account via Settings, my only option is Exchange.

EDIT: Fixed! Ownership was bad for the Google files. Issue the following commands in a terminal:

su

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

cd /system/app

chown root.root *

busybox mount -o remount,ro /system

reboot

Would probably be handy to have a terminal program included by default. ConnectBot is a personal favorite.

Please read found why to get original rom

I have went through this entire posting trying to get the ORIGINAL HP ZEEN TABLET files for Photosmart eStation. I have searched the internet and couldn't find them. There is one person on here I would like to thank and thats LYNXDOG for his posting #468 and his ROM files. My HP ZEEN tablet for the printer stopped communicating with my printer after only having for 2 1/2 yrs. Went it failed to work I just turned the tablet and printer off to do a manual reboot. When I turned the Zeen Tablet back on it would not boot and could get past the first opening screen. So checked the internet whereas I found out how to do a factory reset. Well that even screwed it up more.:mad: For several days and nights I racked my brain out trying to find a way to get the Zeen Tablet back to factory settings. The tablet just failed to completely boot from being half way to restarting on its on. I was so frustrated but kept at it hoping. I followed a YouTube video and downloaded the three files then couldn't find other files from certain posts. Well long story short.... DOWNLOAD THE THREE FILES #MMCROOT.BIN, #NORKERN.BIN, #REDROOT.BIN AND FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL ON HP ZEEN TABLET. I then waited for about 10 minutes after it rebooted because every time before it would go blank. Somehow I got to the settings page and nothing else. Went to update and there it was it said there was an update available. After the update was completed my HP eStation Zeen Tablet is back to factory :good::D I have never been so relieved and here I thought I was going to have to buy another one on eBay. Tablet has been working great now with all HP original files. Anyway hope this helps it worked for me.:cool:

I would love to have the Factory rom because I do not know how to get them off my HP Zeen Tablet. Will be patiently waiting for your upload so I will have as backup in case my tablet ever freezes up again. And I never in the first played around with it by rooting to another rom. It was always original and stayed with printer never changing anything.

javier57 apparently I tried to post my download links but the system will not allow me to. I get the following message when I do..

SORRY! But if you read jlechner's post on the 25 July he is suppose to upload a Factory rom this weekend. Hopefully he does. Best of luck..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlechner:
Update: ok guys, I only have one file for the stock rom, the mmcroot, and for some reason it doesn't include apps or anything. Let me do some digging before I post anything else.

Update 2: installing just the mmcroot of the stock rom gives you an almost useless device. BUT....I was able to connect to my router and am currently updating the device via the settings menu. We'll see if that gets everything working.

Update 3: Ok, doing the update brought everything back to stock, apps and all. The ONLY problem: You MUST have the printer to dock into to allow the update to work. I have searched long and hard to find out how to pull these 3 files from the device itself, to no avail. But for those without the dock, you will have to wait until either I can finally figure out what to do, or until someone else can post the remaining two files.

Here are the ROOTED rom files:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tqc8fzx2givndzh/#MMCROOT.BIN

https://www.dropbox.com/s/23j4om8dh88np22/#norkern.bin

https://www.dropbox.com/s/d83d4okd73r0zyu/#redboot.bin

Here is the stock MMCROOT.

ONLY USE THIS IF YOU HAVE THE DOCK/PRINTER AS WELL

because after flashing, you have to go to settings, connect to your wifi, and check for a product update (which it should find) then dock the device to download/complete update.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8sx2nn7ki88yosz/%23MMCROOT.BIN
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonewolf8417:
Attn: jlechner

After downloading the stock MMCROOT the file shows #MMCROOT.BIN in Dropbox but when you download and save file it shows _MMCROOT.BIN does the file have to have # sign in front of letters and is this the only file needed to revert HP Zeen back to stock with printer dock? Which doesn't need the other two files as for ROOTED rom files....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlechner:
I would rename it with the # sign. And yes, that's all you need provided you have the printer and dock it up then follow what I mentioned.

Attn: jlechner

I still have a bricked Zeen, however, according to jlechner's instructions, the Zeen MUST be docked.

My problem is, I cannot dock anymore, when I set either of my Zeens in the Dock, they do not register as docked,

and I cannot see any reason why not (no bent or missing pins).

Since the guarantee on the printer is long gone, it's not worth sending for repair, and unfortunately,

my financial situation rules out buying a new printer.

So I'd like to ask jlechner if he's gotten around to finding a way to get the Zeen back from Bricked to Factory WITHOUT the Zeen being docked?

I for one would very much appreciate it...!!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rovaals:
I believe if you plug in both the power adapter (if you have one, it was not included with the printer, it's separately purchased from HP's website) and the usb cable to a computer it simulates being docked. But it has to be both connections (1 just power, 1 usb data), having only one doesn't work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlechner:

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

I believe the dock uses a dedicated I/O port. I'm still waiting on a second response from lynx regarding all the work he had done.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rovaals:
The dock does use a dedicated I/O port. I actually opened my zeen today because it's bricked and refuses to flash any #mmcroot.bin (#norkern.bin and #redboot.bin flash fine) at one point I managed to get to factory reset screen but after the reset I was rewarded with nothing but a black screen with a flashing white text cursor, like what some PCs will give you when they have no OS installed.

Anyways the point is that I saw the connectors inside and it does connect independently of the usb and AC adapter jack.

Even though it is separate, people have had luck getting through the out of box experience by plugging in AC adapter and usb. Something about having a data connection AND enough power to properly change (not the small power USB provides) lets it consider itself docked and allow you to complete setup.

Looks like this is finally the end of the line for my zeen. I think either I messed up a system partition (that /public partition with 1.2gb of free space was to big to ignore, I moved apks from /data/ into there and symlinked them back, made SOOO much more space for apps) or the place it flashes the mmcroot is corrupt on my flash chip. I had mine for about 2.5 years, so I guess it had a decent run.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Interceptor One:
No luck, andI've tried it 3 seperate times now.

I did use a Power Adapter and plugged in via USB to my desktop.

I hit the "Check for updates now" button, and the "Checking for update" popup with the spinning circle comes up, and stays there.

Even leaving it run overnight didn't help, same popup was there in the morning.

Anyone else come up with a different method?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlechner:
Dumb question, but you were connected to Wi-Fi right?

Not unless you're in Canada in the Toronto area, then you could try docking with my printer.
