I'm getting fed up with with my Sony S tablet as I harldy use it, and will probably sell it.
It still has 15 months Sony warranty (was bought direct from Sony) un-modded, absolutely stock, not been messed with at all, and, in mint condition, boxed 32Gb SD card, leather case etc., etc., Located Huddersfield, UK.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to advertise it on here or not.
Can someone answer this question please?

you know sony will buy it back from u as well or give u credit as they are so much lower and they are giving all the acessories as well trying to clean up stock before their new tablet release you might consider that. then you could get perhaps a device you would use i personally love mine even with the issues

Does anyone know if the retail Galaxy Tab 10.1 (US) will have a Unlockable or Unlocked bootloader? Or will it be signed or encrypted like oh so many others?
We all know the I/O Edition one is unlocked out of the box, but I would like to know others speculation or knowledge of the subject, thxs.
Really hoping its unlockable like my Xoom's so then we don't have to wait for Samsung to release their delayed updates with Touchwiz and junk like that.
i purchased the 10.1v and it had an easily unlockable bootloader. id be surprised if they changed it back to old ways for the new version, but i suppose everyone will only be able to see once they actually get their hands on one.
The only hope is that samsung have realised that one of the things that will help this tablet fly is customisability.
I would have thought it they'd leave it the same as the I/O version.

I highly doubt they would leave the retail version unlocked, even my Xoom was locked when I bought it and I had to unlock it using a fastboot advanced command which caused the warrenty to be voided. I hope they atleast leave it unlockable like the Xoom.
So can anyone with a retail tab confirm if the bootloader is locked and if it is unlockable. Also if it is locked is there any work around? Tying go decide if I should keep my Xoom or return it in the next two days.
as stated, it is locked up tight.
there is odin access, but i could not get a flash going (although it passes verification).
Wow I hate Samsung. Once again they ruin an otherwise great product, there really is no reason at all that they need to lock a wifi only tablet. Oh well just gunna keep my Xoom and wait for Kal-el. Touche Samsung.
Edit: Just curious, what method does Samsung use to lock their bootloaders, are they encrypted or signed or what?
Yea, this is a big letdown. My Tab may be on its way back to Best Buy if nothing changes around the time of widespread launch on the 17th.

so no simple unlock? and i thought that samsung was promoting the dev community. i wonder why they would leave the bootloader unlocked on the 10.1 io and 10.1v and then lock the 10.1 retail
What a disappointment! I thought maybe supercurio was working with the retail version, and we would be able to do things like calibration of the screen to tone down the oversaturation. The locked bootloader + lack of micro SD slot = too locked down. Probably time to consider the Transformer again...
so for the immediate future we can expect to not have very much development going on im guessing... makes me lean towards getting the xoom

2.3 Upgrade from Viewsonic support [With Jailbreak]
I know this probably a moot point on a ROM loader site, but I just bought a jailbreak and 2.3 upgrade for my G Tablet, which leaves the warranty intact. It is coming from their 3rd party support company, U.S. Merchants.
They helped me through some problems with Tap-n-Crap. In fact, this jailbreak also removes any constraints on where I can shop. Bye-Bye Amazon and Handango, [I could never get Handango to work]
The ROM upgrade cost $90, but at least the warranty is still good. Maybe when it is out, I will be more adventurous. btw, they were selling the dock for $49.
Regards,
Sre
Would you mind posting a little more info as to the 'jailbreak' you received?
For example, when you go to settings and tablet info what does it say?
If be interested to know if they've cooked their own ROM (which they shouldn't have charged you for) our of the they've sold someone elses?
I'm guessing others would like to know as well.
Thanks for letting us know about this....
Intriguing.

Lol. You got ripped off. Idiot.
Sent from my sexy white Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile.
I sent my tablet in for an RMA for it being bricked with a hard brick. This is a software problem, yet they emailed me the details of the repair and said the motherboard needed to be replaced. I emailed the technician and she said that Asus has not provided them with the tools to make software repairs, and the only fix for software problems currently is replacing the whole board. The price this was said to cost was over $300 compared to the around $60 that a software repair would cost. I think it is ridiculous that Asus can't get it together and provide these service centers with the correct tools to fix problems. You don't get a dent in your car and then buy a whole new car. You just pop out the dent. I guess Asus doesn't understand that kind of logic.
that is a shame. for that much money you might as well buy a new tablet. I would complain to them about that and see if they could lower that price, by alot.
Is this a brick caused by you? or was this something that happened updating prime with one of the OTA Firmwares?
It was caused by me. Unlocked, installed rom and got brick 2. but she said she could give me a 10% discount. So at least she cared! but I had her return it to me and I bought a squaretrade warranty.
If they gave unbrick tools to the service centers, how long do you think it would take for them to leak to XDA?

Would you buy a mediocre unlocked tablet over a good locked tablet?
As long as there is no big revenue from losing warranty, I will not unlock the bootloader. Stock ROM works flawlessly for me. On my phone, on the other hand, I like to play with bleeding edge software.

Initially, I did so. The Prime was out but I elected to purchase a TF101 instead.
And would have held off getting a 2nd gen tablet had my wife not kept tempting me and tell me to buy the Prime (evil woman knew she was getting my TF101 when I did upgrade).

Jep. I'm totally fine as long as i have root. Ads are what makes Android laggy sometimes.
But it would be nice to have a recovery tool for software issues. You never know what happens^^ You want to reset batterystats.bin and accidentally delete some other file? It would just be nice to know that there is some way to recover from such positions. But i'm sure it will come eventually. Right now this is Asus flagship device. I can imagine that when the infinity tab and t300 get released they may be less "protective" of the Prime And NVflash is up to nvidia i think? Lets hear what they discussed in the meeting this week...
Change of topic. Original topic was a "Can you return the prime in Canada" thread. Since i personally have succeeded, i am now sharing how i did it so you can do it too!
First: Make sure you have all accessories: Charger, cleaning cloth, usb cable, manuals, etc.
Tablet has to be scratch free and in very good condition. Try to clean all the fingerprints as best you can.
If you have the plastic wrapper that goes around it, bonus!
Put tablet in box as if it were brand new. Neatly wrap the cord, make it all look pretty.
Make sure the tablet is charged and reset it so when you turn it on it goes to the default setup thing.
Dont forget to remove your microSD card!
Go to your local bestbuy.
Tell them you got it as a gift
You opened it up and played with it for a few days and decided its not for you
you would like a return please. (Be kind, they are people too!)
Another option is to say "they got the wrong one" when you ask for the refund. If they ask if you want to find the right one say you dont really have time right now, you'd rather the refund and you can come back another time to get the tablet thats right for you.
They will want to inspect it. If you have obvious physical damage, forget it. If you dont have the packaging, forget it. If you give them ANY reason to reject it, forget it. Dont lie but you dont have to give them obvious reasons. "I just dont want it" is true. "I want to return it because the new version came out" Also true but a bad idea.
They will likely ask if you have the recipt. Tell them you dont have a recipt, it was a gift, the person who gave it to you didnt think to keep it. (I said it was from my grandmother who lives in another city, whatever seems plausable)
They will tell you they cant return it for cash but can do store credit. You say thats acceptable and try not to smile too big. (Also helps not to agree too fast). I made some comment "thats fine, i can buy something that better suits what i need when i get paid". If they offer to help you find something to buy with the card right away just say you really dont have too long to spend on this, you can come back another day to spend the money.
Edit:
Dont forget! when you go to buy the infinity bring a printout of these two pages and get the infinity for $350 instead of $500! It helps to email yourself the links so you can bring them up on your phone too. Bestbuy matches online prices now! (woot!)

I'd definitely like to know this too!! I've had mine since January- bought it from Staples. I had problems within the first month, but they just told me I had to go through Asus (even though they told me I had 30 days to return when I purchased it!!). I haven't RMA'd after reading all the horror stories on the forums, and I keep hoping an impending update will fix things (silly I know...). I'm so frustrated with the whole experience, and reading about what is going on now in the US for BB customers is just making it worse! I'd love to hear if there is anything we can do up in Canada...
I RMA'd mine. I'm waiting for the information package and how to send it. It was fine at the beginning but after a few months I started to have screen glitches, flickers. My Wifi is some what weak to none existant where my wife's Ipad does not have a problem. The number of freezes it can have is unbearable.

So how did it take in total since you initiated the process? I think I may be fed up enough to do it- I was willing to wait and see what good firmware updates did, but it's been 6 months... I'm moving soon though, so I might have to wait until the fall if the process is too long. The last thing I need right now is for it to get lost in the mail!!

Once my Prime is sent back to me from its RMA I can post my thoughts on any improvements to my tablets overall performance.
I just got my prime back today, after sending it in exactly one month ago, to fix the green camera issue. I had to call them up to escalate the issue last week, because it was taking so long.
Anyway, they returned it good as new. They also replaced the cracked back panel, which was nice.

Walked in, told the guy i got it as a gift, didnt want or need it, wanted to return it
He asked if i had a recipt
i said nope, was a gift from my grandma out of town
he asked if theres any chance i could get the recipt
i said not likely, shes old and forgets things
he said without a recipt they cant return it for cash, tho he could do store credit
i said thats awesome, i was thinking about getting a laptop anyways
processed the return, turned it on to make sure its going strong, checked i had the accessories, all was well. Got me a gift card for when the store has 700's in stock. woot!
Hi, i always wanted to have a Nexus 10, i really loved this tablet when it was announced but i never bought it because it was too expensive for me. Now i wanted do buy one, i found some great offers for 80-95 euros and i'm thinking on buying one.
Yesterday i fond somebody selling its nexus 10 that does turn off after the google logo for 25 euros including shipping. Do you think i should give it a try? I'm familiar with rooting, unlocking, flashing and so on so that is not a problem. But do you think it can be saved somehow?
Thanks!

Depends on the cost of a working Nexus 10 motherboard. Generally, swapping the motherboard fixes those types of issues, but might not be cost effective. You also have to be comfortable doing such an operation.
