Anybody have one of these? I recently got my hand on one, and the estation c1650 printer also, and wondering if there is anybody else with on, would like root, and or wipe the device and get ride of the stupid HP touchsmart UI. it would be a dream to run a galaxy tab rom or something. I though i saw a galaxy tab floating around? a system dump maybe? But any help would be appreciated.

I was able to install Astro, launcher Pro, angry birds, and dropbox, so it kinda got rid of the touchsmart UI, but I would like to get root access. I have tried easyroot, and i click root, the droid x method, and nothin seems to work..

go and download launcher pro, find the .apk online, put it on your sd card, and from the files app install it, and then push the home button, click on launcher pro, and set it to default, and then you are able to find the a.pk online fo apps and use them,

another question, i want to be able to get market access? any idea how to do this? i have tried various vending.apk's from different roms and such, but no luck

any help?

Does anyone know how to book into recovery mode or bootloader?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroNet:
spangenberg - You mentioned on another site you got USB Debugging enabled, how did you do that? Or does anyone else know how to enable USB Debugging on the Zeen?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlechner:
I got one one of these too. Using it now actually. Getting root would be awesome. Usb debugging is in settings. Tried a lot to get to recovery, no luck as well. Many apps will install though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroNet:
Hrmm, found it. Odd, I swear I looked all over for it. My guess is that we are stuck on the USB Drivers then for rooting. The Viewsonic G Tabet needed a USB driver hack to work. The HP Zeen uses a Freescale processor from what I've seen, so not sure how I'd setup the USB.

When trying to Root using SuperOneClick I get stuck at Waiting for Device with USB Debugging enabled. I grabbed the Android SDK, but there was no usb_drivers folder.

Trying to follow the steps in the Viewsonic G Tablet thread on XDA, that I can't link to cause I'm to new. >.<

Well, you can paste this behind the .com/ part to get to it:

showthread.php?t=827209
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlechner:
Yea SuperOneClick was doing that to me as well. I don't know much about Freescale. I've also tried every ROOT tool in the marketplace, no luck. From what I have read, we need to find out how to boot it in bootloader first. From there I'm not sure what the next step is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdudeman:
I have one too. Besides installing launcher pro, haven't gotten anywhere with it. If you hold down both volume buttons and the power button while booting it will bring up a menu to delete user data. Not sure if this is useful or not.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlechner:
Well I got root. Sorta. It has su and some root stuff works, some don't. Kinda weird. I'm thinking that since it's not a phone, it can't give full root. but anyways, I'm not gonna tell you how I *cough*aquired* the app but I will give ya the name of it. It's called z4root. Actually, I just found it for free on the market. So, move apk to zeen and click away. My "development" doesn't go much further than this, sadly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdudeman:
Thanks for the info on z4root. I couldnt get titanium backup to work though after i installed it. Said it couldn't get root access.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlechner:
Yea, Like I said, some stuff works and some don't. I wish I knew where to go from here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdudeman:
This may sound dumb, but i think someone should try to email hp support and tell them they need the driver for the zeen because windows will not install it automatically and you can not copy music to it. They may send the driver we need to put it in usb debugging mode, you never know. I would try but I am at work and you have to have the serial number for support.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonbob:
Just got this thing up and running. Is the device's screen that insensitive? It's a task to type with the keyboard. It's inputting keys that I never pressed when I type. Does the update fix this? Lastly, I checked for an update but I need to dock to complete. I don't have the printer. How do I bypass this? Thanks everyone!

EDIT: The touch screen readjusted itself with time and now it's responsive enough! That's good!!! However, I'm still having a problem. Well, the battery is about 25% and after I unplug the USB from the pc to the device, with a little use, the device shuts down. Not only that, it keeps going to the lockscreen prior to shutting down. After, I can only get to use it when I plug it into the pc and power on. If I plus a USB charger, all it does is boot to the HP photosmart logo and shut down. Is this normal? Can someone please offer a bit of assistance. I don't have the printer though and I dont have the access to one so that's not a solution. Thanks everyone!

Hi,

I meet a problem on my zeen, it blocked on a black screen just after HP photosmart estation logo.

I've perform a factory reset using the volume buttons and when I try the safe mode, sometimes after a long time the setup menu appears to choose the language, but the interface doesnt fully appear, so I cant continue. If I connect the tablet to my PC with a usb cable, the SCcard is mounted.

Do you've any idea how to perform a full reset / resinstall of the zeen?

I think that the USB debuging is disabled because of the user parameters reset... :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Keith:
Google blocks "non-compatible" apps from showing on the market. The problem is that since the Zeen doesn't ship with the market, developers ignore it. I had pretty good luck with the Amazon app store, until they implemented the same system. Now even the apps I do have will not update, it sucks, but perhaps you can spoof a different device if you are rooted.

System ROM

Hey there, I have a system rom of this unit with 2.2 Froyo.

I've had two of these units, one died and the other is working well.

The one that died (bricked) I was mucking around like everyone else has been doing and bricked it :-(.

Would only boot to the first boot screen, hp estation thingy. and wouldnt go any further.

I have #NORKERN.BIN and #MMCROOT.BIN, well, I've made this myself from the working unit (customised by me)

Guess what...... These are the two files I needed to get my other one booting. :-)

So, what i'm saying here, I have a copy of a ROM that everyone should have. It restores bricked units.

#NORKERN.BIN

This is just to proove that I have done something with the Zeen. For all of you that dont think that it's possible.... have a look. I'm currently uploading the rest of the rom as we speak.... it's slow, dont despair, we have crap uploads here where I come from.......

I'm also going to be modifying this rom to the max, as soon as I sus out a few things..... I'm not a dev..... but I learn faster than the average bear..... :D

This is all possible with the help of the internet and countless webpages that gave me the tools and knowhow to do what i've done.... so I thank the people out there..... yeah, you know who you are.... (if you read this).

Looking for recovery images

Sorry to revive this thread, but Zeen stuff is pretty sparse. I was adding apps to mine (with the 2.2 update), and I accidentally installed the google startup apk when I installed the whole set of CM 6.0 apps. Now I can't use my zeen, because I'm trapped at the 'click the android step'. There doesn't appear to be any way to get the shade to show up, so I'm stuck. I've got the bootloader set up, but I need the disk image to reset my zeen. A couple people seem to claim they have the two remaining .bin files, but I can't find them anywhere.

Does anyone have a clean (or modified) Zeen image (the mcc*.bin files) so I can reset my tab? Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxdog:
Claim to have?.... you underestimate me. Hold your horses, i'm uploading them, our upload speeds are sooooooo slow. Once done, you will see and you'll eat your hat.

Second part

Rightyho,

Here it is.....

1 unzip and place on a Blank SDCARD

2 put into Zeen, press Volume + and - and turn zeen on.

will take a while to flash, then it'll take about 20 mins to finish setup. Any questions please ask.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MG8S5EEG

My next quest is to hack the RootFS so I can get ADB working at boot.

Everytime you restart the Zeen it rewrites a few files on root (/), so no matter what you edit, change, chmod blah blah blah, it rewrites them.

Well well well..... Hello people, just woke up from an afternoon snooze......

ok,

Once this thing starts you'll be up an running with hp's default launcher called launcher4 it sux....... but you can change it.

Download a launcher and put it on your SD card, I use Launcher Pro.

Steps

1 Slide the System Notifications bar down.... (black area at top)

2 Click Dashboard

2a Click Wireless on then click Wireless Settings (it's in blue to the right)

2b Setup your wireless connection, go back to the Dashboard and continue.

3 Click Help Menu

4 Click Web Support

5 This will open up a webbrowser and you can install any program

So type in the URL bar "openintents.org/filemanager" <--without the quotes

6 Download and Install OI File Manager.

6a Here's a tricky pary, when you install every stage of this will go back to the default page.... Press and hold the Home Button (top left) so you see Recent programs, click OI File Manager and continue, repeat until its up and running.

7 Navigate to your SDCARD and Install your launcher. once done press the home button, you can now choose what launcher you want as default. You know what to do......

8 HAVE FUN...!!!!!

And just remember...... if you kill it, all you have do is flash the #MMCROOT.BIN file......

One word of warning....... never and I mean NEVER Try and flash an unsupported #BTBLOCK.BIN or #REDBOOT.BIN file..... this will kill it beyond repair...

Cheers everyone.... I hope you enjoy this ROM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxdog:
Updates......

New updates coming soon.... I've modified the MMCROOT to remove the HP Drawer so all you have to do is just flash and your straight onto the Launcher Pro as the default launcher, without any of that Configuring Homescreen crap. I'm adding custom APK's as well.

Testing as I write this.....

So far so good.
