[ROM] JB-SlateROM, a custom ROM for the HP Slate 7

Slatekat - kitkat or not for slate 7 2800?

Hello!
New on this thread, couse recently got hands on hp slate 7 2800 model tablet. Nice tablet for basic use, and trying this and that on it, and especially for a schoolboy (my son, to be honest, 8 year old kid) . Any news or progress on rom development? Anyway, thanks for your work on this. One question - on youtube i found some link to slatekat rom (seems to be kitkat), but as my spanish is almost as good as my chineese, can I ask someone with knowledge greater than mine, to see exactly what it is. Link is here . Thanks again, and keep up good work.:good:

That is a kitkat rom. But he wont post a tutorial until he reaches 150 likes. I think it must be done in CWM removing /system and /data before flashing. Later i will look into the zip and try if i see it convincing.
He tried on a 4600. I have the slate 7 2800 model :S

If it isn't fake then I'm guessing that you have to flash that recovery that's provided in the RAR like it was CWM then follow the README that's there. Only problem is that it all seems to be in Chinese. (I wouldn't flash it on the 2800 or 4600 yet as they're the 8gb versions but that's just a hypothesis.)

Guys help my hp slate 7 plus 4200ca is stuck at boot animation after I flash its recovery!! I can boot to recovery and bootloader but not on android
error: cant mount /dev/mount/sdhci-tegra.0/by-num.p0 (or p1 idk): no such file or directory
skipping execution of extendedcommand: no file found

anyone still working on this?

No, I don't think so.

Hp Slate 7 2800 Only option is root only

After reading posts here and trying the china based rooting programs and the JB slate mod, Your best bet for the HP Slate 7 2800 is to do the following.

Install Wondershare Mobile Go on your PC and use the free 5 day trial

Root your tablet with this program. It is very good just make sure the super user app that it install, make sure you grant permissions. If you have trouble with the root...just watch your screen when it says Grant Access and say yes. Later I go into Super User and allow automatic access without the prompts.

Install ClockworkMod 6.03 by putting it on the SD card in your tablet but activating it on your PC by going into my computer and clicking on the program application. Any time you need to boot into recovery just press the up volume key and the power button at the same time. Very nice.

Then install Uninstall app from google play (Root) and it will help suggest certain bloatware programs to get rid off.

If you see some kind of china application (not written in english) ..get rid of it.

As far as going to KitKat...forget it. Or Lollipop...all those MOD and Programs are full of a malware. Do not use any programs from China. There are no MODS or ROMS...all those links on google are fake. All those links with applications written in chinese may work but the amount of malware they install is incredible. Even google warns you to not download these apps and for good reason. Seriously, unless you want to spend a few hours using rogue killer and malwarebytes and other clean up programs, you just need to use Wondershare and have a least a rooted device.

At least you have a rooted device.

Also..all those links with mods for lollipop or any other mod or rom or update to android operating system are just fakes. You want something newer...get a new tablet.
