So my wife comes home giggling about how I'm gonna love this new toy she bought me from her black Friday spending spree.

This is what she brings home,


http://androidcommunity.com/hp-mesq...-on-sale-at-walmart-on-black-friday-20131127/

89$ tablet with an intel single core with HT, and I have to admit it is
really snappy and I'm very happy with the build quality. For 89$ this is a game changer for sure.

So I'm currently trying to root with shuame, no success as of yet. I'm using Koush's generic Adb drivers since Hp has nothing on its own device.



Gets 100mflops on linpack and I will put up more benchmarks later.

If anybody has this device and wants to start please feel free.

I was lucky enough to get the last one at my local Walmart this morning at 7am.... couldn't believe that there was still one left 13 hours later.

I am also impressed with its snappiness and build quality all for $89!

Running into a lot of compatibility issues trying to install apps from the playstore. So I came over here to see what my options are.
I am hoping to maybe follow a similar route as I did with my HP Touchpad, which is still running strong.

Thanks for any info!!

No root as of yet.

I have noticed some apps that say they are not compatible in the market.

I have purchased weather bug elite and it said not compatible, but i downloaded it from a 3rd party and it worked just fine. When I figure out the adb drivers and get a stable root, I'm gonna change the build prop to something more common.

Here is a link to the bench mark test that I ran -
browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/2372924



Its right on the heels of the Samsung Nexus 10. If we can get some kernel support we could get some more power out of that intel chip. Hell Kit Kat is 64 bit and this is a 64 bit processor.

Also did you get an ota update?
 
bought one just earlier from my local Walmart, surprising there was 7 left in the closet.

noticed this is HP Tablet 7 1800 with Single Core w/ Intel Atom Z2460 processor x86,
the one sold most places like Staples are 2800 with Rear Camera and Dual Core Processor cost $30-40 more.

wonder what are the chances Developers will make a Port for Kit Kat for this Tablet 7 1800, which seems to be ONLY sold in Walmart. Different from Slate 7 series

Right now we need to work on rooting this tablet so we can mess with governors and such. Also finding an update.zip would also be nice for when we brick anything.


Edit:

I have successfully got the adb drivers to work and can connect to the tablet through adb. no luck with any scripts yet though.

I have requested the kernel source, it would be good to get as many people on that forum as possible asking for it.

Just picked one of these up. Crossing my fingers that it will be decent and that there is some support from developers. I bet this could be a decent little performer with some governors and ROM tweaks.

    :good::good::good::good::good:

    I got several references on how to root these devices. I can verify that this method (IF followed correctly) Will in fact work and it worked great.

    All this information was taken from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48613847#post48613847 from konnspiracy, kzerafa who got me all worked up to do this.

    These steps are what I had to do directly to get these 3 HP 7 1800 Tablets rooted.

    I just rooted it. WEWT! :) Verified.
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

    First time on this kind of root but if this can help someone else, here goes..

    VERY first thing, go here and download this package and extract to C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools.

    https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

    1. Plug in your device and make sure its the cable that came with the device before starting this process.
    2. Go to your HP 7 1800 Settings then Developer options and turn ON (Default is OFF)
    3. Check mark USB debugging under DEBUGGING (5th option down)
    4. Go here and Download AdbDriverInstaller.exe http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
    5. Once its detected your device, install the driver.
    6. Now go to this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541398
    7. Download TwerkMyMoto-1.0.zip (Direct Link http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2412292&d=1385320284 )
    8. Extract the files into your C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools
    9. Follow the instructions per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541398 under jcase post. Yes this post is for a Motorola Razr I BUT THIS WILL WORK FOR OUR HP 7 1800 Tablets :)

    Now open CMD by hitting your start ball and in the search programs and files box type in, CMD. Black box comes up and type these in order.

    Type

    C: then press Enter
    cd adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools then press enter

    Now type these exactly.

    adb push su /data/local/tmp/
    adb push rootme.sh /data/local/tmp/
    adb push TwerkMyMoto.jar /data/local/tmp/
    adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
    adb shell /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
    adb reboot
    adb shell /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
    After this last command, your device will reboot after about 40-50 seconds, please be patient.

    BLAMO! At least it should be a blamo. :)

    GO to the play store and download SuperSU Free and Root Checker.
    Run Superuser under Normal for first run, then use root checker to verify.

    If not, Im sorry and Id like to take this time to say that I in NO way am responsible for anyone blowing their device up. :)


    Happy Rooting! :)
    More importantly THANK YOU XDA and the great people with no fear to help all of us! :)

    Okay guys,

    For windows 7 and 8 you are going to want to install the generic adb drivers

    https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

    Download the windows installer

    Follow onscreen instructions

    Then

    1. please use this command to add it
    echo 0x03F0 >> %HOMEPATH%\.android\adb_usb.ini

    2. And, find the Google USB driver android_winusb.inf which is located in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\.

    Add below sections and save it,

    ; HP
    %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_03F0&PID_5E1D
    %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_03F0&PID_5D1D&MI_01
    %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_03F0&PID_601D&MI_01

    3. Manual install driver for the device, from Device Manager.

    You will need to go to your device manager and you should see an unknown android device with a little yellow symbol next to it.
    follow this for a rough guide.

    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/9695-driver-install-device-manager-windows-8-a.html

    Obviously your looking for the adb driver in the sdk on the C:\ android-sdk\etc.....

    After all these done, restart ADB service to check the device (adb devices)


    I'm on linux so if one of yall can get the hang of the process, please take some snap shots and then we can get a better adb tutorial.

    Also after you see your device after using the adb command "adb devices" you can use the mototweak exploit to get access to root.

    I need help with getting this procedure down in windows so please feel free to contribute.



    I would like to give credit to the folks over at the hp forums,

    Thanks, that's what I suspected as well. Documentation for IFWI seems rather scant :-/

    The actual application for signing + some description of the images and image building process may be found in a Russian 4PDA forum, but it looks like the signing uses asymmetric cryptography, so even if you could extract the keys from IFWI image, they would be only public keys. And messing with IFWI image seems like a sure way to brick the phone/tablet (+ I guess they may be asymmetrically signed by Intel as well).

    Unsigned images can be flashed but they did not work in Dell Venue 7 so I think they won't work for you as well :(.

    Give me a day or to and I will do a write up on installing the drivers and root procedure. You will have to install drivers with the HP vendor Id. So for windows 8 you have to allow unsigned drivers. Otherwise adb cannot see the device. In Linux you have to set your permissions and use the HP vendor Id.
