I've had the tablets for a few weeks and would like to root it. It has android 4.2.2 but doesn't have an option to connect to pc as it doesn't have a micro usb port on the tablet. The charging port is proprietary and uses a AC adapter style cord similar to a laptop one so it doesnt have a usb end. Am I just SOL?

UPDATE: see post #8 by groumfi

UPDATE 2: thanks to member Taiz for the info. You can now root using an app found at www.towelroot.com No cable required

I returned mine a long time ago but this is good news regardless

Hello,
Apparently these two pages present two procedures for root any android by the sole procedure that allows currently Slatebook: recovery> apply update from zip (only root, no kernel or rom change):
Someone has tested or can test?:

Thanks for that, mate. Looks like that someone has tried this but it doesn't work.

Alternatively it has been suggested that root access can be gained from the updated file from HP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...dlc=en&lc=en&os=4153&product=5400087&sw_lang= but unfortunately I'm not a developer nor technically inclined so I wouldn't know how to extract it. However the file is available from the above link if someone know how to grab and tinker with it.

a few of us are anxiosly waiting for this great tablet to get root access. I think the only way to motivate senior xda developers to buy this tablet would be if Hp drop off the price to $299.

some informations

Here is the detail or the official OS that we got with the slatebook 10 x2 :

Android version 4.3

3.4.57-g61ce4c9
H.M@Android-Build-System #1
Wed Dec 11 00:41:15 CST 2013

Build number
4.3-17r20-03-23


Many of us can not connect dirrectly the device to a PC. So it will be better to root it with usb flash drive or a SD Card but an apk like Framaroot would the best. I'm posting this to help anyone trying to make this for all slatebook users. There is still hope people!

Hp still don't give us the ability to purchase a usb wire. The. French clients service said that no wire is available. There is still hope to find other devices with the same kind of proprietary port but the next problem will be to find a device with the same kernel.

How to unlock and root HP SlateBook x2

Hi there,

We finally achieve root on this SlateBook x2. Full story here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2402681&page=59

Sum-up

  • Buy the HP proprietary cable
  • Unlock bootloader
  • Boot CWM recovery I built for the SlateBook x2
  • Push SuperSU thru sideload

Detailed steps

You need to buy the Micro-USB dedicated cable, HP spare part number 728141-001

You can find it at http://www.eetgroup.com/. Frenchies can order it here: http://fr.eetgroup.com/i/728141-001-HP-MICRO-USB-TO-USB-CABLE. The guys are located at St Ouen (93) and it is possible to pick-up the cable at their office to save shipping costs. Even w/o shipping costs I had to pay 57,30 € which is quite expensive for such a cable.

Anyway, once you have the $$$ cable, proceed as follow to root the device:

  1. You'll need adb installed and working onto to your computer. This could be done by installing the full Android SDK or a light version from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
  2. Normally, the package should install the naked USB drivers. If this not the case have a look at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2386956 and download and install the naked USB drivers
  3. Into your home directory (ie: C:\Users\<username> for Windows or /home/<username> for Linux) you should find a .android directory. Check the adb_usb.ini file within this directory and ensure that content is 0x03F0
  4. Then, enable USB debugging into the Developper options of Android parameters
  5. Once done, connect to the PC with the dedicated cable, wait for a moment for adb drivers to install
  6. Once installed, check that adb can detect the tablet with by entering: adb devices
  7. If it is detected, reboot in bootloader mode: adb reboot bootloader
  8. Once in bootloader, unplug / plug again the tablet and wait for adb drivers to install. Then unlock the bootloader: fastboot -i 0x03F0 oem unlock. WARNING: this will reset your tablet to factory default and loose all your data
  9. Once bootloader is unlocked, reboot your tablet and perform the initial android setup
  10. Tun USB debugging on again and connect the tablet
  11. Reboot to bootloader: adb reboot bootloader
  12. Boot downloaded recovery: fastboot -i 0x03F0 boot recovery_maya-0.1.img
  13. Wait a couple of seconds for CWM to start on the tablet
  14. On the tablet, select Install zip and then Install zip from sideload
  15. Once sideload is ready, install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip: adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
  16. Wait for install to finish, reboot and enjoy

Notice

  • For those running Ubuntu flavor Linux, no need to download any drivers (assuming you've installed android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot packages). Just add 0x03F0 to your ~/.android/adb_usb.ini file so that adb will detect the tablet.
  • I have updated my device to 4.3 to ensure this is working properly. For those who still have 4.2.2, this method will also work as developper Chainfire has implemented 4.3 and olders in SuperSU zip
  • I did the build of CWM by my own and it is not 100% fully functional (still have issue mounting internal storage). But it is usable enough to install SuperSU zip thru sideload
  • DO NOT FLASH this version of CWM. I've not tested flashing and it might brick your device
  • Edit 23-Aug-14 : I flashed it thru Flashify and it boots. I also installed Quick Boot (Reboot) to easily reboot to recovery. Only issue is that it does not mount internal storage, but with external SD, I was able to perform a Nandroid backup-restore operations

Quick question please ref your post

I have received the cable you mentioned (HP 728141-001) and although it connects, the LED on the cable does not illuminate. Does yours light up? Cheers.

Finally received the cable too! Not going to root it now (but thanks for the procedure!).. I really just wanted an ADB connection.

Some notes:

1. You have to connect the cable to the tablet itself not the base (stupid but took me some time to figure this out as I never use it without the base).

2. I can't get the driver to work on Win7 (device not recognized even though I can see the files), but it works on Ubuntu.

3. You do have to edit the usb_adb.ini and *then* connect the cable, normally you should have an authorization on tablet. Don't do "android update adb" as it wipes the ini file.

4. The light does not seem to ever light up, actually I don't even think it's a light, maybe it's just something to show which side goes up...

Well thankx for setting up the guide. Since I'm EU spain I'll try to get a hold on one of those usb cables. Really want root for fps meter and TinyCore I think it's called. It would compliment my gaming on the device very well.

Definitely not a stupid one. You can NOT charge the tablet, it is only working as a data USB cable :(

No charging yet, but HP is working on a 99$ cable that will do the charge of the tablet too :laugh:

Does someone know if some custom roms developpers are interested with the Slatebook ?

It's a pity at this time because we can not clearly see the end of the tunnel... Not rooted mine because I just don't want to miss the 32Go internal...

Do you mean due to the factory reset done when unlocking bootloader ?

No my friend, I don't have important data on the internal 32 gigs, so no problem for me that the factory reset delete all the datas.

I mean that I don't want to "lost" this internal memory which is usefull for install applications (because this internal memory isn't well recognized no ? or I don't have well understood...).

Ah, okay, I see what you see.

No risk to loose the internal memory: it is still there once the tablet is rooted.
Issue I was mentioning about "no way to see internal memory in CWM" meant that when you boot CWM (the recovery), it does not see the internal storage. That the reason why, you have to sideload the SuperSU to flash it.
Then, once rebooted (and rooted), internal storage is visible as usual from Android

I would like to fix it into CWM so that we would them have a 100% usable and flashable CWM. Very useful then for flashing other zip that you should copy to internal storage and/or perform nandroid backups to internal storage.

So, you can safely root your device with the method (just be prepared to have the device reset to factory default due to unlocking bootloader)

Cheers

Hello,

Thanks for your work. I'm running on windows 8.1 and can't find adb_usb.ini ... I've only two files adbkey (1 File type and 1 Publisher type).

I've trying to install the minimal_adb_fastboot program on two differents pc but I obtain the same results...

I've a macbook pro but I don't know if it's possible to use it to unlock and root my HP slatebook x2 and how to proceed.

Thanks for your help

    I've had the tablets for a few weeks and would like to root it. It has android 4.2.2 but doesn't have an option to connect to pc as it doesn't have a micro usb port on the tablet. The charging port is proprietary and uses a AC adapter style cord similar to a laptop one so it doesnt have a usb end. Am I just SOL?

    UPDATE: see post #8 by groumfi

    UPDATE 2: thanks to member Taiz for the info. You can now root using an app found at www.towelroot.com No cable required

    I returned mine a long time ago but this is good news regardless

    3. Into your home directory (ie: C:\Users\<username> for Windows or /home/<username> for Linux) you should find a .android directory. Check the adb_usb.ini file within this directory and ensure that content is 0x03F0
    4. Then, enable USB debugging into the Developper options of Android parameters
    5. Once done, connect to the PC with the dedicated cable, wait for a moment for adb drivers to install
    6. Once installed, check that adb can detect the tablet with by entering: adb devices
    7. If it is detected, reboot in bootloader mode: adb reboot bootloader
    8. Once in bootloader, unplug / plug again the tablet and wait for adb drivers to install. Then unlock the bootloader: fastboot -i 0x03F0 oem unlock. WARNING: this will reset your tablet to factory default and loose all your data
    9. Once bootloader is unlocked, reboot your tablet and perform the initial android setup
    10. Tun USB debugging on again and connect the tablet
    11. Reboot to bootloader: adb reboot bootloader
    12. Boot downloaded recovery: fastboot -i 0x03F0 boot recovery_maya-0.1.img
    13. Wait a couple of seconds for CWM to start on the tablet
    14. On the tablet, select Install zip and then Install zip from sideload
    15. Once sideload is ready, install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip: adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
    16. Wait for install to finish, reboot and enjoy

    Notice

    • For those running Ubuntu flavor Linux, no need to download any drivers (assuming you've installed android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot packages). Just add 0x03F0 to your ~/.android/adb_usb.ini file so that adb will detect the tablet.
    • I have updated my device to 4.3 to ensure this is working properly. For those who still have 4.2.2, this method will also work as developper Chainfire has implemented 4.3 and olders in SuperSU zip
    • I did the build of CWM by my own and it is not 100% fully functional (still have issue mounting internal storage). But it is usable enough to install SuperSU zip thru sideload
    • DO NOT FLASH this version of CWM. I've not tested flashing and it might brick your device

    This sounds great!
    Could you please expand about this? I would like to do it too to my rooted stock 4.3-17r20-03-23 (not updated to that last OTA update from Google).
    I have installed BetterBateryStats, and it shows a few suspecting processes, like "AlarmManager", "ActivityManager-Launch" or "AudioOut_2", but I am not sure which one shoud I disable using Xposed.
    Thanks you.

    i could never get better battery stats to work on my x2, it always just insta-crashes. so i dug through xposed and found DS battery *something like that* using the preset profiles, I set it to the most aggresive one, deep sleep whenever the screen is off. this does make the tablet shut off after too much time idle but small price to pay for days of battery on a tablet that used to last maybe 1.

    Finally received the cable too! Not going to root it now (but thanks for the procedure!).. I really just wanted an ADB connection.

    Some notes:

    1. You have to connect the cable to the tablet itself not the base (stupid but took me some time to figure this out as I never use it without the base).

    2. I can't get the driver to work on Win7 (device not recognized even though I can see the files), but it works on Ubuntu.

    3. You do have to edit the usb_adb.ini and *then* connect the cable, normally you should have an authorization on tablet. Don't do "android update adb" as it wipes the ini file.

    4. The light does not seem to ever light up, actually I don't even think it's a light, maybe it's just something to show which side goes up...
