installing the google market is simple, just download the apks from this anythingfromipod thread and place it in the apk folder of the device. A prompt will come up to install the 3 files one at a time once the z2 is unplugged.

Gaining root is a bit more complicated, however, and requires that the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is installed along with the SDK.
basically you need to download and install the sdk along with ADB and the google usb driver package under the "extras" tab.
The SDK installer can be found here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
after the sdk is installed along with the usb driver under "extras" navigate to this folder:
x:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver (or x:\program files\ for 32 bit)
edit android_winusb.inf and add under [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTx64]
Code:
Code:
[left] ; Cowon Z2 %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E21&PID_1100 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E21&PID_1100&MI_01 ;[/left]
after you add these entries the pc should be able to recognize and install the adb drivers for the z2 when it is placed in USB debug mode; if not, manually install the drivers via the device driver panel.
go to a command prompt and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
type adb devices and if the z2 is recognized, it should say so.
Next step is to download superoneclick 2.3.3 from the official site:
http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2
extract it, run it, and click root... it should do it its thing. Note that superoneclick is the same as doing the whole process manually through adb, so if for some reason superoneclick doesn't work, root can be achieved manually through the adb interface (confirmed this to work as well).
Also note that superoneclick may take more than one try to work correctly, so ymmv.
after it is done the device will reboot itself and you will find the superuser app on the device. Keep in mind that with every software update from cowon, you will have to repeat this process to reapply root.
