Note: 23/7/11 (7/23/11 for USA ) This guide will be updated a bit in the coming days, it'll still

work but there are slightly easier ways to go around things. I finally managed to get the stock rom rooted tonight and google apps + market all working, I figured this was a better route to take for the moment rather than using buggy roms for a different device. Below is a rough guide to how i managed it, it's not completely fleshed out and requires a decent knowledge of things. If you plan on using it, read it over and make sure you understand it first, any questions just ask.

Hannspad Rooting Guide (+Market/Gmail/etc)

Version 3 7/17/11 Before you begin, make sure you have the android sdk installed and have adb working have a look on google as there are a load guides out there I don't want to get bogged down in it here. Drivers for adb tegra 2 devices can be downloaded here: http://oron.com/xef3...driver.rar.html - Windows might complain about them being unsigned, just click continue. If adb won't detect your tablet you probably had the same issue as me, follow the steps here to resolve it: http://developer.nvi...cant-see-device

Step 1
Install CWM Recovery and Perform Backup First step is to install the CWM recovery image (modified by roebeet). Download it here: http://oron.com/1aho...covery.rar.html Plug the tablets USB into your computer, I recommend plugging the power cord in as well. If that's not possible make sure it's fully charged.

1. In the tablet, enable usb file transfer. 2. Extract the recovery archive you downloaded above, and put the update.zip file in the root of the tablets usb storage. 3. Power off the tablet, and reboot it holding in the VOLUME + key at the same time as the power button. It should say recovery key detected and boot into recovery. 4. After the recovery menu loads, press VOLUME - to highlight "Apply Internal update.zip" and press the power button briefly. It should take about 10 seconds to install, the tablet will reboot after it's complete. 5. Hold the power button in for around 10 seconds until the tablet turns off, then start it again in recovery mode (detailed above). 6. Use the volume keys to highlight "backup and restore", press the home soft-touch key to select it. 7. Ensure the "Backup" option is highlighted and press the home key again. It should start to back up the entire tablet to the internal storage of the tablet. This will take a few minutes. 8. You can now reboot the tablet by pressing the home key on the "reboot system now" option. 9. You're done!

Step 2
Rooting I couldn't reliably get any other method to work, so after failing miserably for a while, I managed to get it rooted just using SuperOneClick root. Download the latest version here: http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=803682 Note that it can set off some anti-virus programs, it is perfectly safe though. If you're running Vista/Windows 7 make sure to run it as administrator. 1. Enable usb debugging on the tablet (Settings/Applications/Development -> USB debugging). It's probably a good idea to check "Stay awake" as well. 2. Extract the SuperOneClick zip to a folder anywhere on your pc. 3. Run SuperOneClick.exe 4. Click the big "Root" button at the top left, let it work. 5. It'll ask you if you want to install busybox, click yes. 6. It'll ask you if you want to test the root, click yes 7. If successful it'll tell you 8. Reboot the tablet. (this is extremely important) 9. Donate a little if you can The Hannspad is now rooted!

Step 3
Market + Google Apps This will show you how to install all the normal Google software to your tablet, enabling the full market and Gmail app among other things. 1. Download the Google files here: http://oron.com/2ga4...leapps.rar.html 2. Extract them to a folder called "google". 3. Enable usb file transfer on the tablet, and copy the directory across. Safely remove the device when done and disable usb file transfer, but leave the usb cable plugged in. 4. Browse to the Android SDK directory on your pc, and go into the "platform-tools" directory. 5. Shift+Right click anywhere in the folder and select "Open command prompt here" 6. Type the following;

adb shell su

Note that it'll ask for superuser permissions on the tablet, it's important you confirm this. Mount the /system directory as read/write:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Now, you would usually just mass copy all these over in one command, however this will lead to "out of memory" errors and won't work, so the slow way it is.

cd /sdcard/google/app cp * /system/app/ cd /sdcard/google/etc/permissions cp * /system/etc/permissions/ cd /sdcard/google/framework cp * /system/framework/ cd /sdcard/google/lib cp * /system/lib/ exit exit

7. Close the command prompt 8. You might need to reboot your tablet here

Have wifi running and connected before you run SetupWizard on the home screen and input your details, otherwise you might not be able to set up a wifi connection with it running.

Optional
Replace settings screen with standard Android settings
Credit for the files goes to copritch of XDA forums. Note: this may cause some issues to arise, only use if you really need it. Download this: http://blair.be/hannspad/settings.rar This assumes you've rebooted your device after installing the apps above. 1. Connect tablet to PC via usb 2. Extract the settings.rar file to your tablets usb storage 3. Start a command prompt as done for the Google apps 4. Type the following

adb shell su mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system cd /system/app mv Settings.apk Settings.bak mv SettingsProvider.apk SettingsProvider.bak cp /sdcard/settings/Settings.apk /system/app/Settings.apk cp /sdcard/settings/SettingsProvider.apk /system/app/SettingsProvider.apk exit exit

Close the command prompt, you should now have the standard settings page on your tablet - useful for just about everything!
