[Dell Streak 7] SeekerDK:
Got it

Had one of my friends bring me one back from China.

It seems strangely locked down. No Android market or even a option to add a google account.

I'll happily assist XDA in anyway possible, just let me know what you want

In the meantime, is there any way that I can get Market on (should be possible to side-load it from somewhere, right?)

Dell Streak 10 Pro

Andriod 3.1

Kernel 2.6.36.3-00003-g9e0ffef

Build 201107220948

OEM ver GALLO1A154615
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
it's been stated that the s10 wont have any gapps included, you will need to manually sideload market and it's dependencies into it to make it work

Could you make a NV flash dump before playing around with it? I intend to myself when i recieve mine (which may be a while) but if something goes wrong it couldnt hurt to make one asap
[Dell Streak 7] smnc:
No android devices from China come with the Google Apps.

No surprise there.

[Dell Streak 7] SeekerDK:
Good call. Any ideas on how I actually do that?

I assume that i need to "nvflash --getpartitiontable" and "nvflash --read [partition] [partitionfile]", but I'm stuck at "USB device not found" and guessing I need to get it into recovery mode, but the usual tricks doesn't help (vol- nothing, vol+ nothing, vol[both] "safe mode"??)

Tried some goggling, but not much to go on (A-ROM noob - used to play with WME)
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
You'll just have to read up on how to do it on the s10, I dont have any tegra 2 devices myself so i've never used nvflash. Follow the directions for the s7 as it's more or less the same device but larger

If it's stuck because it cant find the drivers, try manually force installing the s7 ones. It will complain but for the moment it should work. If you're only doing reads and no writes worst case it should merely make bad dumps and shouldnt harm your device.

When 3.2 comes out for the s10 I'll dump the contents of the pkg (assuming it still uses pkgs) and prep a recovery image. But preinstalled roms (especially the initial rom) are not available as pkgs. A nv flash backup is the only way to properly back it up. (A nandroid comes close, but it doesnt dump everything, just as much a custom recovery isnt available yet anyway)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixlgeek:
I just picked one of these up for a great deal $130. For the price it is not a bad tablet at all.

Decent screen size and brightness, speed is not bad, it runs Gingerbread (2.3.1), and has an SD-Card slot.

Anyhow, I have managed to get the Amazon App Store installed which is nice, however, the stock ROM DOES NOT have the Android Marketplace installed. Also, on my Nexus One I use the stock News & Weather App and Widget religiously and I would love to be able to run this on the Nextbook 7.

I have read lots of posts on XDA covering the Next3 and have seen custom ROMs and even people that have installed the News & Weather App so I know theoretically it is possible to do, at least with the little brother of the Next7.

So my question is, does anyone have any information or links regarding either getting a custom ROM installed, getting the Android Marketplace installed, or getting the stock News & Weather Widget/App installed on this device. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

My father has cancer and I bought this device specifically for him to use as he does not have much motivation to leave the house these days. He has a Droid 1 and loves the News & Weather widget as well so it would be great if I could at least get that to run. I have put the APK on the device and actually gotten it to install, but whenever I run the app it Force Quits with an error.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can shed some light on my issues.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dochoppy:
One click roots etc will not work on nextbook 7 Premium due to the system being cramfs. Cramfs is read only, to make changes you have to de-compress the file system, make your changes to system.img (or what ever .img file you want to change..) and re compress it.

Ok, my step dad owns a Next7S...I personally HATE it!! I want to get google play on it somehow. Anyone able to get adb/root??? Windows and Linux both will not find the device via adb. Yes I have debugging on, I'm not a noob. I don't know how to dump the software though at all. But if you give me some useful instructions how to, I can do it. I saw a way to get adb on the Next7P. That doesn't work on this Next7S. Serial Number: YF0312959XX

[HTC Desire S] davidreece:
sorry about all the updates i am trying to remember as i go along with the help of the comments below, we will get this working as i know it does :)

i have actually managed it :) i used fre3vo from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

but i combined the instructions with post 4 from the downgrade thread ( part where you have to chmod the version file then change the version.

first download http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=591335&d=1304969547

and also this

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661246&d=1311240968

extract them to the same folder then open a command prompt in that folder and follow these instructions pressing enter at the end of each step

(big thanks to Jorgen2009 for cleaning up the instructions)

Instructions:

1. adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp

2. adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp

3. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

4. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

5. reboot the phone with the cable attached to the computer

6. adb shell (this gives a $-prompt)

7. /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF (when everything is OK you'll go back to your own prompt, not the phones)

8. adb shell (you'll have a #-prompt now, cause the the is temp-rooted)

9. /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6

10. install the earliest RUU version you can find. I used RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed

11. after rebooting your phone has the old HBOOT (0.98.0000)

12. enable USB Debugging (Settings - Applications - Development) and reboot the phone again

13. Run the AlphaRevX binary and don't install the CWM recovery, we'll use 4EXTRecovery lateron

congratulations, your phone is now S-OFF!

download the latest EXT4Recovery from here

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery [PATH TO recovery.img]

fastboot reboot-bootloader

go to the recovery and install any ROM you like

hope this helps everyone.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Brilliant and well done. :).

could you please add exactly which 1.47 version that you achieved this on and from which country.

also get this useful thread added to the INDEX sticky thread that we have be either PM' ing threads OP or adding post in that Thread.
[HTC Desire S] davidreece:
not sure exactly what 1.47 as its gone now but as i said in my post im on a vodafone uk if that helps :)

also just to make it clear, none of this is my own work guys a lot brighter than me figured all the hard stuff out, i just fitted the different bits together :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
All the same, Putting the bits together, writing the guide and having the balls to try all of these steps on your own device is worthy of thanks and just a little praise ;)
[HTC Desire S] davidreece:
thanks ben :) just glad to put something back instead of leeching all the devs hard work all the time :)
[HTC Desire S] jorgen2009:
Thanx davidreece, great find!

Unfortunately it's not working for me:mad: I get stuck at point 5 running the fre3vo binary. I waited 20 minutes for it to complete, but it's still saying "please wait" with a blinking cursor. For the record, I'm using this rom: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed. That could be the problem perhaps.

I also noticed that the the fre3vo link from your article is a bit older then the fre3vo version on the fre3vo thread. Of course i tried that one too, but it gives the same result for me

Any ideas?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] davidreece:
not a clue jorgen sorry :( i should maybe add the words "some"

just a thought when you ran the fre3vo command where you in adb shell or at the command prompt >, i seem to remember it happened to me the first time i tried it but i cant remember how i got it wrong, ithink you have to enter the adb shell command first then enter /data/local/tmp/fre3vo next or it may be enter them both together as one line i cant really remember, i was so surprised it worked :) if anyone else gets this to work could you please clarify the fre3vo steps and i will update the main post thanks, hope this helps, also i only used the link version not any newer one
[HTC Desire S] jorgen2009:
I tried both methods, both with the same result. It's great to see however it worked for you. It means there is at least a possibility to get S-OFF on updated devices
[HTC Desire S] davidreece:
really sorry i falsly got your hopes up, maybe ask in the fre3vo forum maybe im just getting it wrong, it was 4am here when i succeeded so its all a bit hazy :)

I am stuck on instructions step 5. it says unable to chmod -debug: No such file or directory. My Bootloader version is 0.98.0002. In my understanding instructions step 5 is confusing as first i wrote it with step 4 and then i realize that first write adb shell chmod 777 etc etc. Am i doing right?
[HTC Desire S] davidreece:
sorry maroof not sure whats wrong maybe ask in the original thread linked at the 1st post
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Hello, you're right there appears to is a slight mistake above, from my understanding of this the commands they should be entered as I've shown below from your PC within a command shell window with a <RETURN> at the end of every line.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Support Tools> [B]adb shell [/B]
$ [B]chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo[/B]

[HTC Desire S] maroof.saeed:
Thanks for the reply but the thing is that am i doing the right way as i wrote in my last thread that first i mix 4th step and fifth but then i realize and did the same as in 4th step? If its right then offcourse i 'll ask someone in the original thread.
[HTC Desire S] jorgen2009:
That did the trick!! I'm running Saga LBC Mod as we speak!! The steps I followed after downloading the bits from the first post for this were the following:

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

Thanks for the instructions! I hope this will work for me as I've tried just about everything.

I've done all the step exactly but when I get to this step, the cmd stays on "Scanning region.."

How long does it usually take? Mines been 'scanning' for about 10 minutes now.
[HTC Desire S] davidreece:
dont think it took that long, reboot your phone and try again, make sure you have usb debugg switched on
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
It's still going from my last post. I'll reboot now and give it another go. Debug was switched on.

My ruu is the Asian one 1.48...if that helps any.

[HTC Desire S] davidreece:
cool but typical i did the ota update 2 days before alpharevx was released now i risk bricking my desire s 2 days before a tool is released :) thats life
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
Yep it was definitely a goldcard issue. I was using the wrong CID when creating the goldcard. The way I worked around it is by downloading simplegoldcard: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970157.

In my case, not sure whether its the phone or the card but I had to choose MMC2, not MMC0 or MMC1. This tool was the only one able to extract the MMC2 CID. So for anyone who's having the same trouble, try that.

After that it was smooth sailing. I've officially installed the EURO 1.28 RUU after so much pain and headache.

So it was a goldcard issue, your guide was fantastic, thanks. Although I haven't got up to S-OFFing it yet though. I should have time tomorrow to give that a whiz.

I hope something comes of that Amon Ra thread. As of right now Clockwork Mod is the only recovery available for the shift. According to AmonRa, and the Amon Ra recovery thread, TeamWin has something in the works, which should function similar to the recovery that will soon be on the Sensation/Evo3D.

I posted a thread, about the revolutionary.io site, and how something will be there "later today".

sprint will not be instantly switching to lte, the network still needs to be rolled out, it will probably be a few years time, all the while wimax will still be active. im sure wimax devices will start to get phased out before lte is ready to launch.

DoctorComrade and NewZJ are quite correct. If you read the press release about it made by Sprint (Found here: http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=1989) Sprint entered an agreement with LightSquared to deploy LTE basestations on Sprint's towers. This is because it is significantly cheaper for LightSquared compared to deploying their own towers and network.

With this agreement, Sprint has the option to purchase bandwidth from LightSquared in the future, if they decide to.

[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
From what I have read, no. As I understand it, the frequencies used for LTE and WiMax are part of the old analog TV spectrum. When the US switched to digital all those frequencies were auctioned off. Different carriers now own different parts of the spectrum and their phones need chips tuned to those particular frequencies. The lower end of the spectrum has the best building penetration and sold for the most money, that's the part that Verizon bought. As for whether they can make chips that switch depending on strongest signal, I don't know. As for whether cell providers will make deals allowing roaming on each others LTE networks, I don't know. As I said I could be wrong about this whole thing, this is just my understanding from the info I've read on the subject.

wimax and lte can be any frequency, verizon happens to have approval for ~750, att ~700, sprint ~2400. fcc must approve the usage and sprint neither has the approval or spectrum to do it lower unless they give up iden (~800-850) and then get approval but nextel ptt is still popular
