I just love this new toy! I also bought a silicon case for it.

It lets me update to 4.0.4 but no higher. This phone I wont root like the Desire Z before. The benefit of rooting was not all to great.

Congratz on the buy! The thing that is a letdown on the note is that it MAY chug in some games since it has the same hardware as the S2 but a much higher resolution screen. This is why the galaxy s2 beats it in benchmarks! But its still an awesome phone, and will be even better once jellybean is released for it! Battery life is also amazing. I'm gonna wait it out and not take the leap on the GS3 since theres a new king in town the optimus G 1.4 ghz s4 quadcore lte, 2gb ram, 13mp camera and adrena 320 gpu should be one kick ass motherfu*$*n phone!

May want to check with your buyer. I know I gave PaulieG an option when he purchased a Moto Droid from me. I included a 1GB MicroSD with the utilities to flash it back to an OTA.

I now also rooted the galaxy note n7000. hated the ads.

here the steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1329360

1.Rooting with stock recovery - Thanx to Entropy who direct this way,as well always looking for safety measures for us, Chainfire for creating great tool SuperSu (and many more), Phil3759 as files,scripts derived from his Thread and Linus Yang for Busybox.

- Download Root_SuperSu 0.95
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card.
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install zip from ext SD card
-select 'root_SuperSU-*.zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
-You can see superSU on appl drawer. open it and update.
-Now This will give you only SuperSU not busybox, though application which doesn't depends on system busybox will still works.e.g.Titanium Backup.
-To get full Root+busybox, Download Root_busybox *.zip
-Copy Root_busybox* only to Ext SD card
-Reboot into recovery, Select Install zip from Ext SD card. select Root_busybox* .zip and Flash.
-Done !

got a new android toy.

http://www.zenithink.com/Eproducts_C91_2.php


This tablet, but with bluetooth and GPS built in. 10" screen and GPS is mindblowing. currently working on overclocking it, since its locked to 800Mhz on the launch firmware (and it can go upto 1.2GHz reliably, according to end user reports)


also it had 256/512MB of app space, expandable to 2GB via kernel mods. seems weird, some of the decisions these chinese make.

JR, I've got a question. I've got the Rezound, and I did the HTC unlocker on it to get root. Now the OTA ICS has been beating on my phone for over a month now, and won't load because of the boot loader, and won't defer (even tho it lets me set a time/date deferral date). It's driving me nuts. Every couple of days, I wake up/pull the phone out/go to a client, and my phone's got a terminal red exclamation, showing the update failed (again, duh). I've been digging thru the webs, trying to find a way to stop the OTA completely, or barring that, undo the Dev unlock and push the OTA. I even dug out the toolkit from sda( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1696394) trying to find some way to MAKE IT STOP heheheh. I found a rom for ICS, but it says I can't use it if I've unlocked it, and I can't find a way to undo it. I really don't, at this point, even care to get ICS on the damn thing; I'm happy with it running the way it is. Have you seen anything about undoing the HTC unlocker? Or a way to disable the damn OTA?

Lol, I love their descriptions: 'tablet series of a9 take the lead and beyond all types tablets.' Also, the memory 'give strong support to application and mass games and safeguard intelligent OS.'

Looks like a pretty good deal, fairly cheap too. Does it have a sd card slot?

I have a question. I don't think it belongs here entirely but I don't think its worthy of its own thread either.

Newegg has an unlocked Galaxy S3, would it be possible to get that and a net10 sim card to use their plans?

looks like single. i thought it was dual, but multi threaded benchmarks are slower than single.


OC'd to 1.2GHz now, custom firmware installed. VERY snappy.

Can you go into hboot for me and get all the numbers it shows and type them here. (Power off pull battery, power on while holding vol - til you get a white screen)

You're quite welcome.

I know exactly where you are stuck.

Download this:
http://androidrevolutions.com/neo/fi...12_PH98IMG.zip

Place it on the root of your SD card named as "PH98IMG.zip", through means of a card reader. That is essentially the OTA through other means not going through VZW for it though. Let it update, it should run through once, reboot, then a second time. What's happenning is it's first going to update parts of the firmware to let the rest of the update run. Once you get back to a fully booted state, rename it to say maybe "OTAPH98IMG.zip" so you have it later.

Get with me if you wish to re-root.
