You wonder why I post this, I get it. Personal experience warrants that I tell you about this Verizon tab.

Locked bootloader

No netflix

No skype for front camera

And this is my basis to start this frustration rant. Either Samsung or the android os in general is not popular enough to push these technologies to be developed for the latest and greatest droid device and honeycomb.

Please understand I love droid and am anti ipad/apple. But the fact is I bought an ipad2 last night and I am doing all the things I can't on the Samsung.

Don't tell me to sideload anything. It simply does not work on the Verizon model. I want to root but no support has been lended to me and many others on this and many other droid sites. Including the Samsung forum site.

If there appears to be a way to root, then no one has a reversing flash for it.

In general, new technology or not, the apps should be there. When paying the equivalent price of an ipad the android tab should blow the freaking doors off apple. I've got em both right here and the ipad2 just kicked the bajesus out of this 10.1

Proprietary skiz and all for nothing more than me being able to log in get apps and have them work without bootlegging, voiding warranties and sideload this and that.

now before you go calling me a troll or a hater...

I have a

Dx2 and so does my wife

I hada first gen droid and ran chevy ss

Xoom

Samsung galxy 10.1

And now because droid is not "mainstream" enough a damn apple ipad2 in my house. What the hello, droid os is now officially pissing me off. I know that it is not the os fault but, really I disagree. If droid was selling tabs at half the rate of apples ipad then this freaking rant would never have been written and my azz would never considered looking at a freaking lemming apple ipad anything.

Maybe somebody here knows somebody that will forward this along because this kind lf crap right here. Droid developers not taking availability of apps seriously is what killed IBM in the 80's by thinking home pcs in every house was a farce.

droid development needs to lobby payoff incentavize whatever the hello they need to do to get service providers to write for droid if they want to command a price equal or greater than apple.

please do whatever you do agree or disagree but do not attack me personally or belittle my intelligence. I am neither a kid or dummy. I like technology but I do not like beating my head against the wall trying hours in vain to get something to work just to find out it won't.

I could go on but Why?

It doesn't have locked bootloader... does it
[General Topics] thachosenone:
to the OP.....you do understand the difference between "Droid" and Android, right? "Droid" is just Verizon's marketing campaign for SPECIFIC android devices (Motorola Droid, HTC Droid Incredible, Samsung Droid Charge). MOD EDIT: REMOVED OFFENSIVE WORDS. you purchased a carrier specific tablet, not a WiFi model. therefore, development for said device will only move forward considering more people decide to buy it. theres plenty of development for the WiFi version of the GT10.1.

as for locked bootloaders.......actually, Samsung doesn't ever lock bootloaders, from what i understand. HTC has been known to, and Motorola is notorious at it. Samsung and i believe LG have the easiest exploits when it comes to rooting.

BTW, the Honeycomb source code hasn't been released for any device, probably not until ICS drops.
[General Topics] marksnet:
Really? Are you serious? Droid, Android,,,,, again Really? Yes I do understand that a droid is a phone and android is an operating system. Did you not see the reference to honeycomb etc..? Forgive me I don't mean to be disrespectful......this is just not the kind of response I'm looking for.

I'm sorry if my abbreviations confused you.

For locked bootloader again not an idiot the bootloader is locked. is that really a surprise dealing with big red. Samsung is doing what they are told I guess. Not only is the bootloader locked don't flash this puppy with odin or you will be unable to wipe or return to virgin setup.

PERIOD! at least with the current means and methods on the net.

Samsung wifi models some were shipped with unlocked bootloaders but not Verizon models. Again! I am only referencing the 4g model so any other make model manufacturer is completely irrelevant.

I have had 3 of these in my hands they are all on lockdown. They also are telling people 4g must be activated to get owner registration......the first one I returned doa to the selling dealer but big red corporate would not exchange it because I didn't HVE 4g turned on so in their system I didn't even show owning the product.

I could go on and on.

point is everything in the original post in 100% true and accurate and knowledge from my personal hands on experience.

I am hoping that someone takes it personally and gets some interest in mastering this device. I pretty much root all my devices but after bringing my first one Bck to lofe 4 times and never getting superuser I am in a holding position until full accurate knowledgable instructions on how to unlock bootloader, backup, root, unroot. I am waiting.

Truth again, the post was not about rooting but the fact that the android development team had better start using some power in their speech to people like skype, netflix, and any other major player on behalf of us the people that buy android devices or we are and are gonna continue to be pissed if they don't get it and that means we will buy other peoples stuff ya know,,,the whole supply demand free market concept?...

Especially when I go pay the same price for an ipad2 and all the skizz I want is a click away for free and with no effort or time wasted in a forum on why my stuff doesnt offer main stream popular sh#%!
[General Topics] marksnet:
One last thing. To pick up on one keyword "droid development" while overlooking the entire context of the post after in that same post disclaiming that I did not want anyone to attack or belittle me and you then state that I appear IGNORANT? Well maybe it will to some, but, what you just did makes you appear far worse. Imho...
[General Topics] thachosenone:
look above....i didnt just pick out ONE time you used "droid" to describe something that runs android. so yeah....you sound REALLY ignorant. You literally used "Droid" 10 times

and regarding bootloaders:

I'm surprised that you have been allowed to start a thread which expresses your own personal opinion. I've had a thread removed to the Off-Topic Forum because I did that.
[General Topics] marksnet:
They may yet censor me but, the title says opinion the body of the post is all fact. We shall see.
[General Topics] thachosenone:
But if you have a custom recovery, couldn't you just make a cwm backup when you first get it? Then that would return it to stock when you restore that backup.

They don't drop source code for honeycomb. That's just how they do it.

you further perpetuate the misconception that "Droids" are anything with Android on it. It's bad enough when people who know nothing of rooting and such call it "Droid". But you're on xda.

And I've contributed to the community a lot more then you have man. You've only offered this rant.

And every post, on here, I've still offered some sort of answer or advice.

Don't be one if those people that come on here to demand people to develop for the device you bought. Be happy with what is offered and have patience. All you accomplished on your OP is sounding like a jackass with buyers remorse.

And GTFO with your iPad.

Netflix is not in the market but there is an apk for it now and it works!

Clockwork and roms still limited but will come in time hopefully.
[General Topics] Aethera:
In reply to all three: BULL****! I have had a Verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1 for many months and:

1. The bootloader is not and was not ever locked

2. Netflix patch was trivial to install (and it runs great)

3. Skype does support the front camera (as of its most recent release a couple months ago)

Other than that, rooting the device was just as simple as installing Netflix.
[General Topics] marksnet:
Dumbass

Listen up ****boy

When the tab came out Verizon did have a locked boot loader evidenced by Multiple workarounds on this site

Netflix did not have an app for the 10.1 go back and see they had it they kicked it they had it again, some worked and some didn't

Skype at the time of the op did NOT have an app that supported front cam but the app did work with audio

You obviously have a lot of time on your hands and anxiety to deal with to go back on a post that is months old.

Today there is a root file that bypasses the locked boot loader

Today Netflix does work

Today Skype does work

I've rooted and then unroofed and back again on many devices so **** off would ya

My point was to pay 700 bucks for the lte and not have these apps available at that time was bull****.

If a new tab comes out in the future and the main apps people enjoy dont work I'll ***** again and you can come in months after the fact and piss on a post again but, next time you may want to get your facts straight first and quit chewing on your dildo.

Thanks ****BOY! ****nn moron! I bet yet either 100 lbs soak and wet or either so ****ing fat you need a hover round to get from the fridge to the computer to type and eat with your pudgy little hands.

Oh yeah and do me a favor **** OFF idiot.

If you can add nothing to the post keep your fingers out of it and keep them busy digging your own **** and eating it!

Oh yeah and **** OFF!

Report me I don't give a ****! Dumbass
[General Topics] PowerMan572:
Glad to read this information! I've been going back and forth debating the Galaxy tab for quite some time now... :-/
[General Topics] MissionImprobable:
While the OP didn't state things perfectly, it's clear what his main point is: It's ridiculous that there isn't continuity of experience between Android tablets.

It does make little sense overall that there is so much variation from one tablet to the next in terms of ease of use and availability of apps. Unfortunately, as there is no "standard of quality" in terms of how Android tablets are setup and as there are so many available this will continue to be true.

The iPad is built to one standard and has no direct competition. Regardless, due to Apple's business practices and their recent plethora of lawsuits I will not be purchasing anything they produce or are associated with anywhere in the new future. Tablets are not a necessity, and when one buys one it would be good to be aware of specs and features beforehand and to spend accordingly.

Sorry that you haven't been satisfied with your experience, OP, but a bit of research into the different versions of the tablet and viable alternatives likely would have saved you many headaches. Perhaps, though, your issues will help someone else be more aware of what to expect.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbonline:
Can anyone please guide me to a link where I can see how to flash this particular ROM?

I have my Desire rooted and with a CyanogenMod ROM installed, but I don't know how to flash this specific one because the guide talks about some requirements and I don't see where to start. I don't understand why some developers don't explain how to meet those requirements? I think that should be a requirement in every ROM thread.

I've already searched through the first posts of every thread that is stickied in the forum and I haven't found a step by step guide on flashing this rom and meeting the "requirements" that this one talks about.

I would really appreciate the help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldemort:
nothin much.

1)partition your memory card with ext4 partition..the rightway is fat32 first and remaining space for ext4

2)download rom for the hboot you have

3)go to recovery..make a nandroid backup if you want

4)wipe everything..flash the rom

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbonline:
Thank you for your continued efforts in helping me! :)

I'm still having problems!

Before you gave me that link, I searched and searched and searched...and did many of those things in the link.

I did have my device rooted already (so no problems there), so I did the S-Off from AlphaRev and it came out successful (to test I flashed a stock splash screen and it worked), I partitioned the 8GB SD card with GParted. Just like you had said in the first post (FAT32 first and then EXT4)...I did 1GB of EXT4 and the rest is FAT32. Everything was successful...the SD card was formatted afterwards....After that, I changed my HBOOT from the 0.80 stock to the CM7/r2 by using fastboot. It was successful as it shows in HBOOT.

After all of this, I downloaded the ROM and copied it to the memory card. I went to CWM Recovery and WIPED EVERYTHING a couple of times and flashed the ROM. I made sure I had the latest radio before I did that....5.17.05.23. When I rebooted the ROM, it went to HTC and the words "Quietly Brilliant" appeared. I was thinking I had it all set, BUT the screen went dark for a second and "Quietly Brilliant" came back. It's bootlooping every 3-4 seconds and it DOESN'T advance!

I've since tried to reflash through fastboot different HBOOTs, like the CM7/Stock and exactly the same!

What do you think it might be? I've NEVER taken so much time in order to flash one ROM in ANY Android phone that I've had (and I've had many).

Thanks again!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldemort:
I hope you have downloaded ROM for CM7 r2 and Not CM7...beacuse there are two versions for download

in that thread..I mean just be sure to match the Hboot type and ROM type before flashing
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbonline:
Hey, I've actually tried both and still the same issue. I also flashed the Aurora ROM and this one won't be go past the first splash screen (while the other one went to the boot animation). Just to test, I flashed a CyanogenMod ROM and it worked just fine. Why is it so difficult to have any of these two ROMs working?

Ok...

Reading your posts I'm not sure you have the correct hboot. Turn off the phone, then turn on whilst pressing and holding the volume down button.

When it boots it should give you a load of info. At the top in pink it should say "Alpharev CM7r2".

Check this then let me know.

Did you follow the instruction that says stock hboot users must flash stock_hboot. Zip?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
cheers rootSU, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure - by the way, I've gotta get round to trying your rom some time :D

Anyway...

Wipe everything in recovery. Then flash the rom, and before restarting the phone flash the "stock_hboot.zip" found at the bottom of the first post on the rom thread.

EDIT: Oh, and give it time on it's first boot as it can take a while to load everything.

I have ABSOLUTELY no clue what fixed this, but I did redo EVERYTHING....from going back to stock, to doing the S-Off, changed the AlphaRev recovery to the AMON RA Desire recovery, to repartitioning a different SD card DIRECTLY from this recovery...and YES, it works!
