Unfortunately, I'm unable to root with either of these methods.

Thanks for the information.. might help folks that otherwise can't root with the method I posted.
What model number is your Slate Tablet?
So I just got an email from HP saying that they shipped my back a replacement but it is the HP Slate Beats? What is the difference, beside the beats audio?
Yes it's red, however I cannot roott his one for some reason
Well, I followed every step to the letter and RootGenius stops at 77%, the tablet disconnects and goes through a rebooting cycle about 3 times, then I get the always-annoying "Such a tough phone, Root...failed".
All I want to do is root the tablet so I can use the app to allow writing to external storage. I can't write anything to my MicroSD card. What could I be doing wrong?
*UPDATE*
I got it to work! Unfortunately, It was not with your excellent tutorial. If anyone has the Beats Audio Edition and they want to root, Towelroot works like a charm!
Thanks again. You've been very helpful.

Might try a Windows 7 PC.. I've had issues with Windows 8 rooting devices personally.

So I just got an update from HP, installed it, lost root, and now I can't get it back!!
I too just got an update.
Android 4.4.2
Build number KOT49H.19093_475.2068
"kingoroot" worked to restore root for me.
Previously i had use towel root version 1 which no longer works.
Hello! Just wondering, will this work on a 4.3 Slate 7 Extreme?
Great! Just tried your method and .........It worked like a charm! Just one last question; is it possible to install a recovery mode of some kind? Ideally, I'd like to make a nandroid backup.
Can anyone tell me if the beats audio version is rootable?
I just got it, but it came already preloaded with 4.4.2 so my 32gb microSD card is useless
If I can't root it, is it at least possible to force update to 4.4.3? I tried clearing the data on the google services framework, but all that got me was the inability to connect to the play store.
Here's my setup:
Model Number:
HP Slate 7 Beats Special Edition Model 4501
Android Version:
4.4.2
Kernel Version:
3.4.57-g0178a33
buildbrain@mobile-u64-621 #1
Build Number:
KOT49H.18396_417.2569
Any help is always appreciated. Thank You!
