[Q] Creative ZiiO doesn't appear on adb devices list

Stawonog · Dec 21, 2010

Our company bought new shiny ZiiO 7" to test some mobile aplications, but we are having trouble getting started. 'adb devices' shows empty list, but the device appears on 'lsusb' list (Bus 002 Device 007: ID 2350:0102) and we can access files by USB connection. We tried to set it up using standard steps (enable debugging, list devices, add vendor id, set permissions and restart adb server). We also tried several systems (Ubuntus and Windowses) and PCs. It's our first Creative device and first device with such problem.

So, is it known problem or maybe the device is broken? How to set up adb and device to work together on Ubuntu 10.04?

There's no ZiiO forum, so I posted here - hope it's ok.

i have the some problem, any ideas?

Stawonog · Jan 4, 2011

We managed to solve the problem. Here is what you should do on Ubuntu:
- add to xx-android.rules flowing line:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idVendor}=="2350",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666"
- restart udev
- add folowing line to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini:
0x2350
- restart server
We also have the solution for Windows and Mac.

this work fine with MAC OSx too.

Sorry to be a newb, can you tell me how I can edit the file? I am a bit rusty with this stuff. Thanks!

Could you please outline the solution for Windows?

Thanks in advance.

here you go:
- download and install Google USB driver
- open file android_winusb.inf from the driver's directory. Find section [Google.NTx86] (if you have 32-bit Windows) or [Google.NTamd64] (for 64-bit). At the end of the section, add the following lines:
; Creative Ziio 7"
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2350&PID_0102
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2350&PID_0102&MI_01
- find the device in Device Manager and update driver using previously installed USB driver
- add folowing line to %HOME/.android/adb_usb.ini:
0x2350
- restart server

you seem to be quite knowledgeable

so might be you know how to get permanent root on the ziio, I only get till temp root then tried this

F:\ADB>adb shell
# cd /data/local/tmp
cd /data/local/tmp
# ./busybox cp busybox /system/bin
./busybox cp busybox /system/bin
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# busybox cp Superuser.apk /system/app
busybox cp Superuser.apk /system/app
# busybox cp su /system/bin
busybox cp su /system/bin
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# exit
exit

But I always get su: unknown id: root in adb shell and su: must be suid to work properly in terminal emulator

If you have an xbin or sbin folder try moving su there, then chmodding it. That's the method I used to root the android emulator. Link is in my sig if you think it might help you out/give you some ideas. The emulator lost root on reboot but that's because it was a virtual device, pretty sure a real phone wouldn't lose root on reboot.

ollip79 · Jan 21, 2011

OK gave it a shot but didn't work either. No x or sbin on the ziio to begin with. will try some more later..

doddlejumper · Jan 25, 2011

Is there anyway we can hack the ZiiO and root it with Android 2.2 ourselves?

puuhelin · Jan 26, 2011

Is there any way to get market working on these things?

razer_irl · Feb 6, 2011

Just picked up one of these.Great little device but I really need root and/or Frodo.

Any developers working on these yet?

shadowblast101 · Feb 8, 2011

Just got ADB working following stawonogs instructions. Then I was able to get a temp shell root with SuperOneClick. The full root doesn't work because of a Mount issue.

When you adb shell into the device, if you're logged in as root then you'll see '#' instead of '$'.

I was then able to adb push the googleapps pack, including vending.apk. Rebooted the device, but it looks like googleapps.apk doesn't work right, so the setupwizard.apk never completes, so I removed it. Went through setup manually, using the Youtube.apk method. Gmail.apk still fails due to googleapps.apk failing.

When I try to run vending.apk, I get a "server unavailable" error.

I waiting for good news to complete root for newbies user. Thanks.

/sys/block

hey guys,

i just found some files on the tablet, which could cause the trouble.

/sys/block/

i tried to remove them, but wasn`t able to...

rm: cannot remove ´/sys/block/... : Operation not permitted

i think without these files the rooting and flashing of the ziio should be possible...
but i´m not an expert... ;-)

maybe one of you is able to remove them and tell us if it´s working?

greetings

This worked perfectly on my Windows PC to the extent that my Ziio now shows up when I run DDMS. BUT, I cannot get the screen image to show up. I get the message "Unable to get frame buffer: EOF."

Anyone know what's that's about?

bluemarsh · May 25, 2011

I have the Ziio 7" as well. I can get temp root using SuperOneClick but am unable to turn it in to permanent root.

I'm willing to try things if anyone has ideas on how to make this work!

basher52 · Jun 11, 2011

I have the Ziio 7" as well. I can get temp root using SuperOneClick but am unable to turn it in to permanent root.

So, untill you shout down your device, you can use root apps? i got a ZiiO 7" yesterday, but its rather slow and needs root. Temp root would fix the issue for me i think, i just wont should it down.

add folowing line to %HOME/.android/adb_usb.ini:
0x2350

where do i find this file? cant find it anyway...

Hello,

I have also hit this problem with Creative ZiiO 10 on Mac OS X 10.6.7. If you would be kind enough to share your Mac solution it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Cheers,

Mark
