How to root the HP Zeen C150 tablet

[Tyrone30]

I purchased the HP eStation printer and it has the Zeen tablet running android 2.1. Has anyone rooted this device yet? If you have can you please share how to do it?

You folks really need to do a simple google search with the exact words in this thread.

And you would get many results, like....

http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=hpzad&action=display&thread=297 (maybe a full root)

It seems at best, you may only get a partial root, but it seems some folks have been able to install Android Market and a few apps that require root.

As with losing the printer, I would say that it should still communicate as you haven't really messed with the rom or any of the support apps.

Hey, I did do a Google search and this is one of them I found... so assuming anything on others isn't very nice... I very much appreciate your help on this though... I love these forums and have helped me several times... I will look into these links and then post back on the success or not on them... again thank you!

No problem. Let us know how it worked out.

It's not a matter of "assumption", but more so, about people who haven't even researched anything, expecially when it comes to rooting and custom Roms. The forums here are great, and a lot of us, are more than willing to share knowledge when the need arises.

We're not all experts on all devices, but know enough to lead people in the right direction. And Google, is usually the first place we hit

As for myself, I have a low tolerance sometimes, and perhaps I was a bit too "rash". maybe...

But, as with others here, we will toss in our 2 cents worth.

And as always, it's better to ask a question beforehand if you don't understand a procedure, rather than fubar the device.
