Hello Devs,
I am just new here. I have the YP-G70CWY-XXA GB version, it is on 2.3.5 and I want to update it to 2.3.6. My question is, What is the best version to install via Odin and will it work without updating the Kernel?
Another question is, is it possible to Ram swap with class 4 mSD on our units?
Last is, is it possible to unroot?
Thank you very much.
Just check out any rom that is compatible with your device (US/INTL). It all comes down to your personal decision.
What do you mean by ram swap? A micro sd is just extra storage.
As for unrooting, you have to see according to the rom you'll flash.
Ram

Sorry if I am mistaken. I am really new to Android and wants to learn it.
I just want to root it and change some scripts if possible and then unroot it. But if the tings that I am looking for are in one of the roms, might as well use that rom. Any Stock kernel around. I hold 2 versions of SGP. one with Button and the other has none. have soft B the none and now looking for solutions. It may just need a kernel reflashing.
Anyway, thank you for the reply and more power to the dev people like you.
Cheers!

why do you care wether it's rooted or not? it makes no real difference, other than being able to access the root of your sgp...

I do care. I respect the hard work of dev techies. Root I need to insert series of scripts for my own use. Unfortunately, I found the scripts in pastebin. This unit will serve me as a remote for a server. comprende?

Just stock is enough. I will use it to control and monitor AIX servers coupled with AS based systems. Due to my job, I wont take the risk staying rooted. besides, I just want it stock/ I got ADB running on one AIX system to dev. so, I have my reasons and you have yours I am sure. It is just a job for me.

Yes, it is possible to swap card spaces. I have a 64gb that I want to try it with, but first I have to figure out how to root and rom my Player 5.
OK you want to swap your micro sd card with another. Of course it's possible. It's just external storage. I never tried with a 64gig card but in the accessories forum other members said it works for them.

he wants to use his external sd as ram not storage, which as far as i'm concerned, you cannot do
Thank you very much to all of the dev and those who helped.
For now, I did root it and inserted the scripts I need and it is working like a charm. However, Atrix 2 has a script to switch the SD card from internal to external. Yes, I woulds like to do so. Is it possible to use class 6-10 card 64Gb? Better yet, if we can use part of the 64GB as an ADDED feature to increase the ram like a unix or linux style, will it be possible? If we could run the ram using entirely the class 10 SDcard, it would be the best. The unit will be lightning fast. Will have no lag on those who play heavy games.
It is just a question though.
By the way, the Ureadahead script for the SDcard, can it be set higher than 512 up to 1024 or 2048? or it depends on the latency of the processor and the ram capacity ?
Dev Teams,
Might see something interesting here for SGP4 & 5.

Anybody know of one that I can use? I found one before, but now I can't seem to find it now.
I just rooted and used engtools3.zip to keep the stock ROM, but I want to overclock to make the phone faster.
Zanfur's kernel is nice. Just forum search "kernel" really. We have 4 different ones I think.

refthemc has a good suggestion. I use Plain Jane myself..I love it and it includes apps2sd..decide if you want it or not before you install. Works best with a faster SD card. I'm getting a class 6 SD card in a week myself. Like $25, class 6 8GB.
Final ICS available @ huawei device.

Yes :
Read "HUAWEI MediaPad SD card upgrade user guide.pdf" inside the zip.
Additional info :
This software S7-301u V100R002C232B002 has been tested strictly in Zealand,Singapore,Bengal,and Australia,but network situation is different and complicated in different places.so we can not guarantee that this version is applicable in all countries or regions.

You don't really need the Sanixupdate just get Superuser and Busybox from the store and install them. Not sure why it isn't working for you the way you are doing it. I assume you are flashing the ROM before you put the Sanixupdate file on the internal SD.
Any reason not to flash this to the springboard?

If you do flash you will no longer have a Springboard you will have a MediaPad. This is not a bad thing but it will void your warranty. If you take the plunge I suggest you go for the full monty and install the rooted version you can find links to it on one of threads. IMHO it is well worth the upgrade HC sucks in comparison. Good Luck
I downloaded the official release from Huawei's site. I assumed I had to go through the rooting process like the previous leaks? This one isn't pre-rooted AFAIK

Like mentioned by RKWhyte2 it will no longer say Springboard. It will say Huawei Mediapad. It will void the warranty but...
1. No more T-Mobile chimes at start-up. Actually the boot up is way faster now.
2. Hi Suite won't work unless you go hunting for the workaround around here. I've used it once or twice so not a deal-killer for me.
3. You will now be able to send (and receive) text messages (we pay for the privilege, we might as well be able to use it). And the message comes from the number that T-Mobile gave you.
4. TMobile crapware is gone (as long as you have your settings set to back up your apps to google servers, once rooted you will be able to easily retrieve 99% of your apps.)
5. You can delete the sample pictures and videos from the tablet and NEVER. SEE. THEM. AGAIN.
I am enjoying my tablet now more than before. So I guess tonight I will upgrade it to the latest ICS.
already flashed to ICS, now charging it then calibrate the battery
super smooth like slicing a butter
signal works good (depends on your cellular network)

Why don't you just update to the latest version. I find it to be quite stable and haven't found anything bad.
Is this a different ROM to the SP3 one?
Is the touchscreen shaking still?
This official one is the best I have tried so far. No lag in the menus, everything is siilky smooth. Stock browser performance surpasses the beta versions by far and HDMI works correctly with no jagged edges. A job well done I think.
Working HDMI?
You mean landscape mode applications no longer get dithered?
Can you try fpse, the PlayStation emulator on it?
Which ROM do you mean?
i have a nook tablet 8gig. with the software version 1.4.2
i would very much like to be able to install an android os onto the tablet i have heard that the jelly bean one was pretty good. but that is only what i have heard. if anybody has some suggestions it would be cool.
my question and request would be if there are any specific instructions to follow?
i have a 32g sd card and a micro sd adapter as tools to perform this.
i am assuming that this is the right place for this thread if it is not i am sorry.
and thanks in advance.

Welcome to XDA brandon! I'll point you in the right direction...make sure you put in the effort by reading up on things before you even attempt to modify your Nook. The results will be horrific if you don't do your homework.
First...take a look HERE to learn the basics. There are pretty great instructions to be had from this thread.
That will get you going...the rest is just defined by your preference. There are a few different ROMs out there to choose from. JellyBean is still in it's infant stages...so there are quirks. READ READ READ...see what other people say about a ROM before you give it a whirl.

Just curious what exactly does rooting the nook tablet do? will it allow me to install 3rd party apps?

Rooting will allow you to install custom ROMs, such as CM9 (Android 4.0) and CM10 (4.1) etc. It's not necessary, but really improves the experience of your tablet.
I would go with THIS HERE or THIS ONE for basic modification.
If you want to use stuff other than what you can get in the Nook store, you will need to root it and install the full Android Market (Play Store). Follow the links I gave you.
I have a new S4. So far loving it! Major upgrade from my S!
I see that about 1/2 the internal memory is used up leaving me 8GB or so to use. Can anyone tell me WHAT is on this used 8GB and is there a way to clean it out?
I'm not experienced in rooting, so it's not an option. (I was never able to sucessfully root my Galaxy S :silly: ) I would not want to try aything this complicated on my new phone.
If rooting is my only option, about how much space can I recover and can I save the original OEM setup in the process in case I need to revert back for warranty or something.
Thanks

Thats due to tw and all the new gestures and etc. U can dl an app in the playstore to move apps and games to ur sd if ur still on mdk. The new update me7 u can move games and some apps to sd. Rooting the s4 was so easy a caveman could do it. Lol. As long as u got the correct .tar files u can revert back to stock firmware using odin. And yes rooting would be the only way to get rid of all the vzw bloatware

Yup rooting is the only option. When you first start you will have a bit less than 10gb available. The ~7 gb is used for system apps and Verizon bloatware, and once you get rid of that, I found you can have 1 or 2 gb more. The only way to do this is to root it, and debloat it using one of the available tools on the android development forums, or use a custom rom after a custom recovery is installed, which I always recommend. It's not that hard. This way all the bloatware is removed and performance is enhanced

First, welcome to xda, I see you have been a member but have not posted much.
Second, one of the primary things users are expected to do is to search and read/study for the answers prior to posting. Unfortunately, I have to close this thread as all of your questions have been answered in these threads. I highly encourage you do some reading for a bit before you venture into the realm of rooting as everyone risks turning their phone into a costly paperweight if they "go in" without knowing what to do.

What is ODIN? ME7? ROM? lol :silly: I'm so new to this, I've read several threads and no matter what I do I get lost and can't follow the directions very well. (It doesn't help that I have poor reading comprehention either! ~ But I'm good with math, I'm an engineer!)
How to I tell if I'm on mdk? I'll searcht the app store for a good app to move all the clutter out.
Thanks

alright. first off, do you want to keep the Nook OS on your tablet (which means you have to run your ROM off of an SD card) or do you want to replace it entirely?

i found it easier to install CM on the internal memory, aka the eMMC chip, which replaces the Nook OS. your call though.
oh also there's a bunch of different ROMs for this tablet. different versions of android too, but IMO, anything from jelly bean (4.1) and up is pretty good. however, i've heard bad things about CyanogenMod 10.2 (latest stable version on their site) and i don't really like kitkat. if you want a really stable ROM, i like cm10.1.3 and there's a really old cm10 build that i like, it's not provided by the official CyanogenMod team though.
if you haven't noticed, CyanogenMod is the most popular custom ROM.. ever. and i think it's the one best-maintained by the devs here. you could try others too but for the average Joe Shmo (like you seem to be ) CyanogenMod is the best option.

To create a CM11 SD card, you can adapt the procedure outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098419: in steps 4-6 and 9-10 just substitute in the appropriate SD-based version of CM11 and corresponding Gapps zip files posted at Succulent's blog http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2014...droid-4-4-2-for-nook-tablet-sdcxxx-01jan2013/, e.g., cm_acclaim_11.0_25APR2014_HD_SDC.zip and pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.2-20140426a-signed-sdc.zip.
