Just out of curiosity, since the hardware in the GTab 8.9 will be virtually identical to the GTab 10.1, is it safe to assume that we can use the stuff in this forum (ROMs, Mods etc) for the 8.9 as well?
We dont know yet.

Now that I have the Galaxy Tab 8.9, I'm curious about the same thing lol. I'm also patiently waiting for a separate forum for the 8.9 So far everything seems the same as the 10.1 other than the size lol (I had bought the 10.1 and then returned it after hearing the 8.9 was gonna come out). Only thing is some of the apps that are available for the 10.1 are not available yet for the 8.9 including netflix, and sideloading doesn't seem to work for netflix (doesn't let you play the movies). Other than that, it's the same Honeycomb 3.1 with Touchwiz.

It seem the same just two things:
1. It is locked error X004 using nvflash
2. DO NOT TRY TO LOAD CWM BY ROM MANAGER IT WILL SOFTBRICK / HARDBRICK (I said hardbrick because we dont have md5 file with actual firmware to recover from softbrick with ODIN)

Exactly. I was having this debate with myself as well, but honestly the thing performs very well. Better than what I've heard about the kindle fire (for video anyway). The way I see it, it has the performance of many 10" tablets for less money and a more convenient form factor. I can slip this baby into my inside jacket pocket no problem. Can't do that with a Transformer
I can't wait to see this tablet with a custom ROM, but until then it works great with Go Launcher.
I ended up returning mine because for some reason the POWER button STOPPED WORKING! Pissed me off, that and three bootloader, f that so I returned it. And had a hell of a time unrooting it. But I must admit I did love it. So no more nook tablet for me untill custom roms are possible.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
IMHO, you should return it. Write a quick letter to B&N on why — the Nook Tablet needlessly has a locked bootloader.
I've said this on several threads: not buying and/or returning the Nook Tablet is the best way to let them know you're not OK with a locked bootloader.
I'm keeping mine; because I'm OK with a locked bootloader -- I'm not happy with it, but I can live with it.
It's really a matter of can you live with the device w/ the locked bootloader? I've been able to use my device as I see fit (outside of running HC/ICS yet), but for the majority of my tasks, I'm okay as is. It's a personal preference thing. Whatever makes you happy

I tested it for a long while (like an hour) against a KF, Iconia, a few other 7 inchers, a NC, a few 10 inch tablets, including a transformer (which was $250 on promotion!) and it was much nicer browsing to the same video sites than the other 7 inch ones, and the 10 inch ones were a LOT bigger than I imagined (and heavier).
The bootloader isn't needlessly locked - it's due to netflix requesting it, and they went the easiest/laziest way.

Why is this game saying it is incompatible with my Galaxy 10.1 and Acer A500 when I can blatantly see reviews for both devices under the marketplace listing!!!
Other people have the game installed, what is going on here?

Maybe they changed it for some reason. If you still want to install it, you can clear your markets applicationdata, edit your /System/buid.prop and change your device to something like
ro.product.model = Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer = samsung
or whatever phone is still compatible to download it

Found out
Go to the Rockstar website and find the game. Apparently the company didn't test the game for rooted and jailbroken devices. It won't work properly if your device is rooted, which sucks because they waited to add that little bit until myself and a lot of others bought it already and found out the next day that it now comes up as incompatible. They are willing to refund the money. Just follow the instructions they have.

My Tab's rooted too... the key to getting it to work if you have issues (won't start, no sound, etc) seems be to delete the resource files (Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3) and restart the app, forcing it to download it again. Works perfectly after that.
It's working on mine also, stock 3.2 HC rooted. Just installed & downloaded game data
It's back! It's returned to the My Apps list on my Tab and market.android.com also reports it's compatible again!

+1! Mine will arrive today.
+1 on wanting root for this new Galaxy Light. I just got mine yesterday.
I absolutely love the phone, especially considering the off-contract price. I liked my old LG Motion, but this blows it away.
I've been refreshing this thread for days hoping that we'd have root, and maybe start to see some custom ROMs, etc.
I will continue to do so. :fingers-crossed:
I too received this phone. It's a great phone for the money, can't go wrong for $150. It's like an S3 but with a low-res screen. What the S3 mini should have been.

Yep. So far it looks like it was great purchase. Virtually the same form factor and screen res as my old Glacier, which suited me perfectly - don't want to carry anything larger, but with faster processor, more memory & LTE (while still retaining Wi-Fi calling), with none of the Glacier's hardware glitches. I can even still use the Glacier belt clips that I modded for car mounts!
Anyway. Sorry I'm babbling off topic.
It could be a while to root or custom rom.
Hopefully, it won't be like my Exhibit I, no custom rom except for Area 51.

I'm new to the forum, but I just recently purchased a HP Slate 7 Extreme and I was wondering if there are any root methods other than vroot or kingo that would work with this tablet. Vroot works but XDA still considers it suspicious. There are methods for other Slate 7 models but not for this one (HP4400us). Any help would be much appreciated.

Dude, is this tablet awesome? I'm actually quite excited to buy this tablet when it lands in the near future in my country (fingers crossed for that!). I know that this tablet is the HP's version of Tegra Note because they are similar one to another. I also know this tablet is insanely great for gaming, note taking, picture drawing, movie watching, etc. But what is the downside that you found on this tablet? Is its battery life any good? How long can it survive to play intensive games in the row without resting the screen?

Ah, I see. I'd love to root it, but is there a way to unroot? I got the tablet from my job & I want to unroot if they decide to ask for it back; which I doubt, but I don't want to risk it. Thanks for the info!
I'm not sure if HP has the kitkat recovery available for download but I do know that they had 4.3. Since I was rooted I had to manually update to 4.3 and then update to 4.4 ota. That caused me to lose root so I am assuming doing something like that would un root. Again I am just assuming.
yes, hp does have the kitkat recovery available for download. I downloaded it last night and flashed it and now I'm running kitkat. The only issue now is getting back my root. Lost my root after flashing.

People keep referring to this thread but I have contacted Amazon about 6 times now and all 6 people told me there was absolutely no way that they could or ever would roll back your software. All 6 said once you upgrade to 4.5.1 there was no way what so ever for them to take you back. I even got a couple of emails from there tech support team stating this. So no, customer care will not roll back your software.
I had a very unsucessful back and forth between like 12 different people at Amazon with no success. I even provided a few apps in their store that will absoutely not run in 4.5.x (Quicken 2013 for example) and they had no interest in rolling me back. Though I did not have them explicitly state that a rollback was impossible. They just apologized that their forced software update was causing me grief and to deal with it.
Possible way to root. Was reading info on this vuln CVE-2014-7911 and it seems like it might be a way that KitKat could be rooted. It was patched in Lollipop. Just thought I would share.

The software really is the crippling factor, not the hardware. It's just sad that Amazon still can't see that and tries with every effort to lock down those that try to get around it.
whats the chance of upgrade?
Does anyone know what the chance of upgrade of 4.5.1 to stock android rom for fire hdx 7" and possible timeframe?
Is there anyone still working on it and are we just waiting for source code to try and find a way to unlock it.
I just picked up a fire hdx, but it came installed with 4.5.1 and the software is pretty unusable compared to my old jellybean tablet.
As a sidenote would it be worth trying to turn off ota updates so they are not kept ahead of any patch?
