Recent Android Market Update on jailbroken Galaxy S II

Hey everyone, sorry if this was already asked, but I couldnt find anything after searching both on XDA and elsewhere on the intertubes. I'm new to this phone, and havent used Android in over a year, so I am a little rusty.
About 10 days ago, an update to the Android market took place, giving it access to books and movies. What is the best way to get this updated version of the market on my phone without loosing my jailbreak? If anyone could help, or give me some insight it would be greatly appreciated.

Wait, till the updates roll out everywhere gradually. No point in jumping for a leaked version.
Besides, have you seen how many people are keen to go back to the old market? Lol.
Regards.

Usually when i hear that word "jailbroken" it's people talking about iPhones, do you mean unlocked to all networks or something else?
Lol your right i meant rooted. I guess you can see what platform i came from!
You will find the market update has been posted on the forum .

[Q] Brand new to Android/need help

Hi guys I just switched over to Verizon Wireless and changed my phone to Samsung Galaxy S4.
I've been with Apple and iPhone ever since the first generation iPhone came out, meaning I'm only familiar with iOS and iPhones
Now I've jailbroken my iphones a crap ton of times, but I have no clue on what to do anything with Android xD
Before switching over, I did some basic research on Android operating system and the Galaxy phones, and from what I found out, Android is a hell of a lot more customizable, open source platform, and there are a lot of crazy stuff you can do with it
I have some basic questions about rooting as a whole
1. What is the %/chance of my Galaxy S4 becoming bricked?
2. How do I backup all my contacts, apps, games, music, photos and such on Android?
3. Is there a software for Android like how Apple had iTunes?
4. If I mess something up and my phone becomes bricked, is there any way to fix it without replacing phone?
5. Moderator Edit - We don't do that here
6. Is there an Installous/Vshare type program for Android phones?
Thank you!

Ill answer your first question. There is always a chance of bricking your phone when rooting and flashing custom roms and mods to your phone. But if you follow the instructions of whatever root method you choose to a tee, you should be fine. I was new to rooting when I got my s3 and I followed the instructions and read as much as I could, and everything went perfect. Check android developement for verizon s4 for all your rooting needs.

To answer questions 5 and 6...
Perhaps you missed the word "developers" in the name of the site. Coming to a community of developers and asking advice how how to screw them over is akin to being an invited guest in someone's house and arbitrarily spitting in their face. Pony up and pay for the apps if their paid.

iDroid on iPhone 5

Friend of mine has asked me to try and get and android OS running on their iPhone 5. I previously didn't even think this was possible, but after looking around it looks like it is if you use something called iDroid.
They have 7.0.6 and I wondered is this possible, have you guys ever done this, and if so how hard is it?

Please help me get this thing upgraded

Howdy,
So, I have a Toshiba AT200 tablet that uses android 4.0.3 and I'm disabled currently jumping through all the hoops for SSI. In the meantime I been using the usertesting app to make enough money to cover my rent & internet barely. Trouble is, they just discontinued support for android versions older than 5.0 so I need to upgrade it to android 5 or 6. Since I have no real clue how to do much of anything on android other than install and run stuff from the play store, I called Toshiba for help and was told that they don't offer a manufacturer update to higher android versions but that I could easily google an unofficial one that is completely legal.
Well, after the last 5 hours of trying, 3 system crashes, 21 removals of trojans by windows defender and malwarebytes, and I-have-no-idea how many 'surveys' & 'offers' completions trying to unlock downloads; I STILL don't have a working upgrade.
PLEASE help me! I need this done to continue earning enough money to pay my rent & internet.
Thanks,
Robert
that's a copy that I posted two weeks ago in the assist forums and never got a response till today telling me to put it here. I've done more searching since first posting, but still haven't found anything working (and ended up with some gomail.ru hijacker thing which I've tried repeatedly to remove but can't seem to fully get rid of it) so please help ASAP! two weeks is way too long to not make any income... I'm prolly gonna be late for internet this month.
Thanks,
Robert
Why won't anyone help me? Is it unclear what device it is? AT200 is what it lists in the 'about' section in the tablet settings menu, but what it shows up as when I put the serial number into the Toshiba website is Excite AT205-T16I
I still need help with this thing PLEASE! am I still asking in the wrong place?
As I know, the upgrade of androi up to your device. If It announce to upgrade, it means that you can do it. If not, you can't
What? I'm sorry but I don't understand what you tried to say. The Toshiba rep told me to google 'toshiba at200 custom rom lollipop' though I really don't know what that means... and I've tried multiple times but always end up with either a bunch of malware to get rid of or one of those 'complete survey or offer to unlock download' things which never work. I found a site with pretty understandable instructions on how to complete the upgrade and got some kinda rooting tool, but it doesn't help me without having this 'apk rom' that it talks about and doesn't give any links on the instruction page.
Regrettably, there aren't any options to update your device. There are 2 ways to upgrade, either via updates put out by the manufacturer, or via a custom version of android (referred to as a "rom") that is compiled from a source code such as the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) or CyanogenMod (CM). For devices that didn't sell well or weren't of significant interest to the developer community, custom updates aren't usually an option as it takes a considerable amount of time and skill to update a device beyond what the manufacturer puts out due to differences in the system as well as drivers on newer versions of android.
