Name calling? Nobody's trolling, my post was on topic and posted two days after I found out what had happened. Didn't look at dates, sorry, hate me for caring enough to post something. Second, since this is not a phone or a console I did not expect Samsung to care whether the boot loader was encrypted. No one would tolerate a desktop or laptop without the ability to flash BIOS, why should a touch screen change that? It doesn't.

Finally, my original post indicated 1)that I hadn't found an attorney interested and 2) that I would continue looking "for a while". I feel cheated and want to discover if I have any recourse. Maybe I don't , I'll live with that but (here's the important part) there is no logical or rational reason for you to get all emotional and feel the need to start listing all the reasons I'm a bad person for checking it out. Or saying that I am on this forum.

I'm out $600. That's worth some phone calls, and worth finding out if anyone else is of the same opinion. Didn't realize my viewpoint would be so unwelcome. Now I know.

Later
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MMcCraryNJ:
You aren't out 600 dollars because you can't use nvflash, which can't even be considered a "feature" because it was never advertised as being one. That's preposterous. It was an oversight on Samsung's part during the first round of shipments that some special tablets weren't locked for whatever reason. They realized it and attempted to patch it.

As someone who is obviously versed in rooting and fiddling with Android devices, it was your responsibility to realize that when you accept an official OTA update, all bets are off, as Samsung clearly has the right to patch up their oversight as they see fit. They did so with an OTA update that you knowingly applied to your tablet. You had the right to stay on stock 3.1 forever with no updates to keep your unlocked bootloader. Or you could have easily waited for someone to upload a system image of the TW update and apply it through Clockwork to keep it as well.

And as someone who seemingly relies on nvflash and can't live without it, it was your choosing to buy a tablet that A. not very many of them had this ability out of the box B. Newer revisions have this removed this ability and C. Could have this "mistake" corrected at anytime by Samsung via update, which you shouldn't have accepted.

I'm not saying you are a terrible person, I'm saying that at least with your tablet buying decision, you have poor judgement if nvflash was at the top of your want list and you chose the Tab. Coming on here and complaining about it and saying you are going to sue them for it isn't going to help you. What would help you is if you put it up on E-bay or through the selling forums here, and went and got yourself a Xoom or whatever.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rlarkin:
Dude. WHY are you so invested in this? Are you Samsungs official representative in this forum or what? You're acting like you've been offended in some way, making this issue your personal mission.

I argue that Samsung DOES NOT have the right to encrypt the boot loader post purchase REGARDLESS of any eula or other click through agreement. There is case law to support this viewpoint. That is the beginning and the end of it. Ebay, devkits, et al are besides the point.

As I said, I did not post here to have arguments with fanbois, only to discover if any others held the same opinion. Seriously done with you now.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ummati:
FYI, I have a 7510 Wifi only model 16GB and the OTA I got was 180MB approximately. I had rooted my tab a couple of weeks before that and am running Clockwork Mod Recovery. I was really skeptical about getting my bootloader locked and loosing root. I did an online chat with Samsung about the issue and the tech assured me that it won't get locked. Obviously I didn't tell him I rooted it myself, just told him that it came with the bootloader unlocked.

I am happy to report, (to avoid what I went through last week before updating) that after the update I was able to RETAIN the root and the CWM and everything turned out good. The font is a little wierd (big) but its live-able. The screen capture is kind of cool but the real reason was not to loose root so I can keep my VPN and corporate Wifi setting the way I wanted.

It worked and I still have all my mods after the 180MB update (I have no idea about 11.2 MB update) and it can be applied withOUT any problems.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jtdc:
i've no idea what difference does it make when the P7510 is bootloader locked or unlocked. the previous one that i handled has no padlock icon on the samsung startup but i was able to root it and even put "in paris" custom rom. now this one that i have is bootloader unlocked as seen below, but then again, what difference does it make?

Is te epic rev. A compatible? I did a getprop and noticed it said evdo rev 0 in there...does that explain the horrible 3g speeds?
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
it's definitely a Rev.A device. I sincerely doubt they'd screw up something so fundamental and important.

(I don't have a source, just sayin')
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
It is definitely RevA otherwise you would max out around 140 kilobit on the upstream.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Go into a terminal and type getprop and it'll show evdo rev 0 under gsm.operator.something (there's a whole group) I thought it would've been because I was in a bsement with hardly an6y coverage but now I'm outside with all bars and it still shows rev. 0

Is this a bug then?

Just wondering?

[HTC Sensation] Mansn:
Hey guys, I was wondering whether there is a rom out there that has been rooted, but otherwise has had nothing else changed? I like the custom roms and everything, but something somewhere never quite works properly. Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] RestInPieces209:
You can't just root your phone...?
[HTC Sensation] Mansn:
Well, I have the Vodafone crapware on my ROM, so I just want a good stock rom that is rooted. For my old Hero there were a couple around that could be flashed very easily.
[HTC Sensation] RestInPieces209:
I'm using virtuous sensation v1.0.1 and its pretty much the same as stock. Very fast and stable.
[HTC Sensation] kponti:
Ahh I guess I don't have to start a new thread to ask my question.

All I want is for me to be able to use titanium backup to remove bloatware, rom manager to back things up, and change the pink bootup T-Mobile crap. Will I simply be able to root, add those apps and proceed?

Thanks for the help in advance
[HTC Sensation] rUmtifUsel:
yes, you will be able to root.

1.) s-off

2.) permRoot

you don't need titaniumbackup to uninstall bloatware. simply use the rootexplorer. navigate to system/app and delete that apps you don't want to be on your phone. but don't forget to mount r/w. and before you do so, make a nandroid backup!
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
How do we perma root without screwing up our WIFI, yet stay with stock ROM? Seems NO ONE has addressed this here on the forum. Suggesting a custom ROM is a bandaid solution.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] lessthanjoey:
What are you talking about? Just above here in this thread people said you can simply to S-OFF and then root the phone without changing the ROM at all?

It doesn't break wifi...
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
No where did they mention how to root. Many people are losing their wifi doing the regular method that is in the massive guide, so they wind up going back to stock. It is not guaranteed to mess up wifi, but if it does, you are just unlucky. (As of now).

I would like to know how others are rooting (perm.) without having these issues.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Mansn:
I think the responses in this thread pretty much sum up why we want a rooted yet otherwise untouched ROM. From my flashing experience in the past I have found it *extremely* difficult to find a ROM where everything just works. Some well meant tweak always ends up causing some bizarre problem somewhere down the line.
[HTC Sensation] lessthanjoey:
Fair enough - I just flashed the root zip that the Revolution guys linked to and haven't had a single issue.

EDIT: actually it looks like this is solved - just use the correct (newer) su zip as shown in this post
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sac's Droid:
i really must ask, i have had this problem forever and need to know if anyone else has it. When my phone is plugged in charging the keyboard always messes up and hits random keys. anyone know how to fix it or what is causing it. had this phone for a year now, and seen cyanogen 7.0.3 i am about to kill it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FadedLite:
I personally have not seen this problem. I am running the CM 7 nightlies, and i am having a good experience. The keys are fine for me, but i will be sure to keep on the lookout for that bug...

I'm guessing you have already tried to re-flash.

Also, do you have a wifi problem on CM7? I've had the worst luck because in my old Synergy Rom, i could get wifi in my room perfectly, but now with CM7, I barely get any reception if not any at all.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I've had this issue, but pretty much on any ROM. Whenever my phone is charging, it isn't very responsive to any touch input. Once unplugged, works fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br125:
Its a hardware issue, not software
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
I've seen some Incs that will have unresponsive / unpredictable touch-screens when plugged in to cheap chargers. In the cases that I've seen, they never misbehave on an OEM charger: only on third-party budget ones. As noted by br125, it has always been a hardware issue in my experience.

You can try different chargers to see if it makes a difference.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitmanthe3rd:
I did on the older versions of CM but not sense CM7
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refthemc:
We had this same problem on the old D1's, the solution was to use the OEM charger it originally came with.

Hope this helps
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I'm using the OEM charger and have this issue on MIUI/incredikernel. Laggy and unresponsive touch input while charging.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m52 power!:
I noticed this issue too, really odd and annoying. I've been running MIUI for a little over a week and have noticed the problem is completely gone and normal typing is actually more responsive. Always been a CM7 fanboy but I'm quite impressed with miui....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sac's Droid:
I have an OEM charger and a third-party charger as well and i have experienced the problem randomly on both. I seem to notice the problem more when i charge it while connected to my laptop
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmmml:
I have the same problem. I've noticed that the trackball work perfectly and in fact have temporarily got around this problem ( as long as I do not have to type in something) in this manner.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dick Ripple:
The problem has something to do with being grounded.

All of the tweaks you are looking for are found in JRummy's Root Tools app.

Mikey, default VM heap is 32. So you didn't change anything from how it was.
[Motorola Droid X2] cvmaas:
The Event Manager runs on the UI thread and handles polling and queuing touchscreen events.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
Yea I Couldn't Remember The VM Was It Was Originally. As For The Tweaks I Got That Off Of Another Webpage Who Probably Got It From Him. That's Good To Know Thanks Dude.

Did you add in the line that enables JIT? Can't find it, and don't wanna mess it up.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
How are you setting these values? Is it an app or Command Line?

Nevermind...I found it.

So anything more about heap size? Leave at 32 or increase?

Just add it in at the end.
[Motorola Droid X2] PnoT:
I increased my heap size from 32 to 36 and that fixed my stuttering sound when multitasking.

Nope the actual dialer tab. It will show the last call (send/received) it will just show a blank cut off square where the pic icon should be. Its a small tradeoff just wanted to let ppl know.

Mike I have a x2 and am not a noob but when I look in my buildprop I don't have stagefright settings like my old phones have had. Also davlik execute stuff for jit. Am I missing something?
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
Those You Have To Add In.
[Motorola Droid X2] gkitab:
I'm not sure they'll work if they weren't previously in the build prop. How are you sure stagefright and jit even work in gingerbread? If that was the case why wouldn't every one be adding these tweaks that has ginger on any phone? How can we verify that those settings work?

Not trying to be negative, or rude just wanna be sure they actually are affective.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
I Have No Idea If They Work Or Not. I Put Them In And It Isn't Hurting Anything. Maybe Someone Will Chime In And Let Us Know.
[Motorola Droid X2] gkitab:
That would be cool so we know for certain, thats its worth the trouble, especially if someone is just starting to dabble it the stuff.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yeah kind of like me. What has been said here has peaked a new interest for me and I am about to go on a knowledge adventure again to find out just exactly how to do this. Would I need root explorer or riot tools to do this?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Does running the build.prop file in system folder from script manager as script/executable and run as root get me where I need to be to just look at the stuff u are talking about? No editing yet just want ti familiarize myself with it.
[Motorola Droid X2] teegunn:
I have Jrummy's droid x overclocking app which seems to include the root tools also. Wonder if i install that app on the dx2 if those tools included will work on the DX2? I might give it a try.

I Add In Everything Using Root Explorer, Zepplinox Has Made Scripts For Script Manager That Execute And Add The Information With One Click. If Anything You Might Wanna Contact Him And Bounce Ideas Off Each Other, Be Warned He Is A Hardcore "Hacker" To Others But A Fantastic Developer To Me. Good Luck.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
That's funny you say that about "hacker" cuz that thought had come to me beforewhile reading some of his posts and the many things he does and experiments with. But I realized I only thought like that cuz I didn't understand what all the code meant YET even a little. So I don't see him as a hacker rather as an experimenting mad scientists type of developer always looking for improvements. Thanks for the idea I will try to get in touch with him tomorrow and see what is up.

Was also thinking of trying roottools but wasn't sure what the consensus was on its effectiveness for a rom'd gb x2 any idea? Was also interested in the replacement of boot animation that comes with it.
[Motorola Droid X2] teegunn:
I installed Android Overclock by Jrummy..... unfortunately it loses most of it's functions, or at least limits them quite a bit. Not sure if his Root Tools app would be the same or not as I don't have that app.
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
Root tools works fine
[Motorola Droid X2] teegunn:
Thanks. I may purchase root tools to give it a try.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
When I go into bootanimations it asks if I want to male backup. I click backup but it does nothing. Are the bootanimations changeable using this app? I don't want to mess something up.

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I need root explorer for that correct?
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Estrongs file explorer works fine. You can run it as root, mount the system as r/w & it has its own text editor included. It's free & I just used it to edit my vm heap size from 32 to 36. Seems to have helped with blur launcher lag & redraw.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I tried from that one but wouldn't let me change permissions. Had browse as root checked.
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
Did you mount system as rw first?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
sorry to clarify mount as rw just means to check the box under browse as root correct? i tried something different and definetly have to sbf now. will be back to that point quickly tho.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
rw = Read/Write.

ro = Read Only.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Edit:::; got it..disregard
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
No you have to use an app to do that, either root explorer or tools can do it that I know of. If you use another file manager I wouldn't know how you'd do it.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
With estrongs:

Longpress the file

Scroll down & select properties in the menu

Select change button in the pop-up

Set the permissions to r/w

Just checked mine. All the selections under read and write are checked in my build.prop file. Nothing is checked under execute.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
You Shouldn't Be Messing With Any Permissions While Editing The Build.Prop File.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Agreed. They should be left where they're at. Just wanted to give him a means to see what they are and if he has it mounted as r/w. What goes on from there, well, we all assume our own risks...
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Edit::::

So I have to reboot for changes to take effect?

Also I have said before that I feel like this phone can be 4glte capable if we find a way to do it. Maybe that's why Verizon doesn't want them to unlock our bootloader? Especially after seeing these lines in build prop along with other hints and things I've noticed. I think Verizon just didn't want to lose out in sales if single core 4g phones since this phone could be superior.

Saw this----

# set phone mode for lte sim ui

#ro.mot.phonemode.vzw4gphone=1

So what happens if I change this value? Do I get better speeds? Just sputballing although im sure this has been thought of before. I just can't let go of this idea. It is some feeling that sits in the back if my head that Verizon stopped it from 4gro but may allow it some day. Also.saw a line about the radio and a change might be able to be made there one day via update. Im probly just dreaming tho ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
No 4G Radio = No 4G LTE.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
One more Q on this subject. When I go into root explorer and system folder it is already mounted as rw. Should I change it to ro when changes are done or leave as rw? I thought I saw somewhere about what to do bit I can't seem to find it now.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
I Haven't Had Any Problems Leaving It rw Cuz Sometimes I Forget Or Constantly Switching In And Out Of Root Explorer. Irregardless It Mounts As ro Upon Reboot Anyways. I Could Be Wrong And Maybe It Is Bad But Like I Said I Haven't Had A Problem Yet.
[Motorola Droid X2] gkitab:
When you reboot, it will change back.
[Motorola Droid X2] gkitab:
Are we sure there is no 4g radio? We're just going with what they tell us, right? Would not be surprised if no lte radio, because I believe 4g phone needs a sim.
[Motorola Droid X2] gkitab:
Has anyone confirmed if added the jit line in build.prop really works? I would be interested in knowing if it works, my old droid could on 2.2 and it really spead things up a bit. Does anyone know a way to confirm it really works as well as stagefright?
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
Where Is The 4G Radio? The Phone Has No Room Inside For It.
