[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reverendkjr:
I'm not sure if I understand why everyone thinks it will be a good idea to put Windows 8 on the Touchpad. Here are my thoughts:

1. Drivers will drive us crazy. There will have to be new drivers created for video, audio, bluetooth, etc. None of these exist currently, so it will basically be like starting all over again. Remember how long it took to get the Android drivers running? Some of them STILL aren't perfect.

2. Since the device is using an ARM chip, only ARM compiled apps will work. It's not like you are going to be able to load your standard x86 Windows apps on the Touchpad if Windows 8 is on it. The amount of ARM apps for Windows 8 is less than what the Blackberry Market has. (which isn't much. )

3. Chances are, we are going to have to completely format the Touchpad if we want to put Windows 8 on it. This removes any possible way of going back to webOS or Android if we want. I, for one, would not like that at all. As far as co-existing... I doubt that would work due to the nature of the file system as it is now.

It's fun to think that this will happen someday, but I'm not holding my breath.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
1) hopefully most drivers will work out of the box, since you know they are going to make Win8 arm for a snapdragon SoC, maybe not this exact chip, but a dual-core snapdragon probably, they were also using TouchPads to pilot win8 arm, so if we can get a leaked build we'll be ok. If the drivers don't work and it's too much of a hassle then that's just how it is. We've still got ICS and JellyBean

2) that's fine, but there are going to be so many awesome win8 arm apps, just think of all the WP7 apps plus a lot more, it will be really awesome.

3) Not necessarily. Remember the same thing was thought of on WP7 on the HD2, but what the DFT team did was create a totally separate yaffs2 partition and write Android NAND and WP7 to that, so you could still operate the bootloader to load another OS from the sd card and dual-boot that way. Since this thing rocks 16gb nand, I don't see why some whiz dev couldn't just repartition and format a specific partition for win8 then the bootloader decides where to boot, hence 8 gigs for Win8, 8 gigs for Android, etc... or something of the sort. I think it's possible.

Like you, I'm not holding my breath, but I actually love how well CM9 currently runs on this tablet to keep it only for that, Win8 for arm port would just be a really amazing treat on top if it ever happens.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewmur:
I guess I'm just not a metro kind of guy. I tried Win8 on my 23" HP Touchscreen and took it off after a couple of days. I wouldn't put it on my TP even if it were free.

As to porting from another pad, it's going to be a whole new ball game with Win8 compared to Win7. Win7 isn't tied to the hardware via UEFI the way Win8 is. And unlike the x86, there won't be a version for ARM without it.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuX:
I don't get it. What is the fascination with Windows 8? Its not even out yet, nobody knows how good/bad its going to be, etc.

Android (CM9) is fantastic on TP. I can't believe you'd get any better an experience on win8. The only plus point might be native office support but there are good, mature office suites in the Android market to cater for that already.

If you want win8 sell your TP and buy a new tab when they come out (in the summer if you are lucky or more likely towards Xmas) :D
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunjabusiness:
Actually, there are quite a few of us using Windows 8 and Windows Server 8 and have been for some time. However, its highpoints are overshadowed (for me) by the difficulty of getting to functions/apps that were simple with the Start Orb/Menu. Not only will we be very unlikely to ever see it WORKING correctly on a TP. I am not interested in putting it on any of my desktops unless MS puts back the Start Menu.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milro1970:
Not so fantastic...

I must agree that win8 for arm with all the locks and the restrictions imposed from microsoft is not much... But CM9 is fantastic on TP? Why? Camera is working? Microphone (need it for VOIP)? Battery life (the last time I checked sucked big time)? Sound is ok if screen is off?

Ok, I'm 2 weeks behind on nightlies but I did not observe any progress on these things which, with the exception of camera, are crusial to me for a decent experience on TP. If somehow missed all these improvements I immediately apologize and I will go flash whatever needs to be flashed :-).
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambrar12:
I agree. My touchpad's battery is being thrashed by Android's terrible standby life. My parents just got the new ipad and that thing seems like it could go a month on standby. It's ridiculous. My touchpad lasts maybe 2 days without even using it. Also the browser lag is annoying. Boat browser is the only one that I've found to be somewhat smooth, but try loading theverge on it and watch the stuttering and lag, whereas on the ipad it's smooth as silk. It's even smoother than on my uber gaming desktop, which is quite surprising. I think windows 8 will also be very good and bring out the touchpad's full potential.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuX:
Depends what you want to use your tab for I guess. I've got a SG-Note phone with a 2MP front camera (and a microphone ;)) so use that for video calls, etc.

Camera and Mic are only a reboot into WebOS away if you have to use them on your tab and the CM9 issues are likely to be fixed before long.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuX:
On a PC, I agree some of 'us' have been using Win8 for a while. I've been playing with it myself since the dev preview came out as I'm a dev with MSDN Subscription.

I agree that MS had missed a trick by not making the desktop version more PC friendly (as opposed to touch friendly).

The point I was trying to make, though, was that the ARM version would be locked down a lot more and wouldn't offer any real benefits over existing Android functionality, IMHO.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smac7:
i wouldn't hope on it. I'm sure it's possible, but i dont see the touchpad getting it. I can see the kindle getting it before the touchpad. I just don't think we'll be able to get enough dev support. On our touchpads right now, there is really not that much developer activity going on aside from Cyanogenmod.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambrar12:
But windows 8 on ARM is supposed to come with a hardware abstraction Layer for multiple arm chipsets. Aside for microphone and camera installation might be a simple hack.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conspiritor:
the perfect reason to want windows 8 on your touchpad.

They have smart glass now, if we could get just that to work, it would be worth it.

Thank you for summarizing what I dread is coming this fall. As the IT Guy for a 180 employee company, I'm constantly receiving requests for IT advice, both business and personal. I've learned that with some people (like your hypothetical grandmother) there is no explaining. The best you can do is steer them toward something as close as possible to what they are already familiar with, and recommend a nearby company they can take the device to when they have a problem. And yes, I have been presented with a thumb drive and asked to "add it RAM".

HP was using leftover TouchPads to "test drive" W8 before the Developer Preview came out. If I could remember which publication it was on I'd post it. Then again if I could remember anything beyond yesterday it would be a miracle. Anyway, I'd have to guess the article was on webOS Nation.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericerk:
So is this gonna happen?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unrealwolf:
Nope. Since porting W8 to anything is illegal in USA and since US devs apparently do give a **** about legality and Touchpad outside USA being relatively rare, i doubt that anyone would even try to fiddle with W8 on TP.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blmvxer:
I'm sure someone would try. But you'd never see a build anywhere obviously.

The real question / hope is windows RT
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoylentRed:
I don't see any reason to bother with Windows 8. However, Windows RT does support the OMAP 4 chipset, which I believe is what the Touchpad is running. If so, it should be a pretty straightforward port
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
No the Touchpad is a Snapdragon S3. There were some early Windows 8 demos done on Snapdragon S3 tablets by Qualcomm, but now everything new is S4 based. The Dell XPS10 uses an S4 and runs Windows 8 RT.

Not really what Im talking about since its "it's a non permanent ADB root as it's a 'fastboot boot' and not a 'fastboot flash". I dont want to do this everytime I reboot plus it doesnt unlock the bootloader. Im wanting to know about a simple one step app that is permanent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mayor bloom:
I think this is another case for a split forum. Unfortunatly the verizon nexus is different than the non-verizon.

I too am looking to root to get back my 3rd party wifi tether. as of now, I have found nothing that makes me think it is possible "today". Verizon has somehow locked the 3rd party apps. I am not a programer, or claim to be one; but I follow instructions well.

People need to say, I have verizon and I need this....XDA is world wide and people assume that when you are asking a question about a GN you are asking about the version they have and this forum is loaded with non-LTE information, with some LTE info hear and there.

If I find a LTE easy root I will gladly post it here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac7822:
the insecure doesnt really matter. For what youre talking about it is a permanent flash you will not neet to re root everytime you turn on your phone. I superbooted yesterday. Im currently rooted and my phone has probably been restarted 15 times
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
It's pretty easy to manually root the LTE GN. The follow steps are for Windows.

Download this zipped package. It contains adb, fastboot, and Paul's unsecured boot.img that will install su and Superuser.apk for you.

Download ADB USB Drivers.

Step 1.) Unlock your bootloader. Put your phone into fastboot mode and install the ADB USB Drivers. Run fastboot-windows from the zipped package

fastboot-windows oem unlock

Step 2.) Put your phone back into fastboot mode if it reboots after unlocking. Then boot Paul's boot.img

fastboot-windows boot boot.img

Step 3.) Voila you're rooted... easy as pie.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kipphh:
That would be great if you find anything. As for saying that the superboot I guess ill give it a try. The post says that it will unroot (not sure how that works) on every reboot. Maybe im just not understanding it correctly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlpineM3:
Do you happen to have anything for us MAC users?? I'm really surprised I can't seem to find anything concrete for it.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
I followed this tutorial to set up fastboot and adb on my mac:

http://blog.wapnet.nl/2011/05/setup-adb-and-fastboot-with-android-sdk-on-mac-osx/

Then you just need the boot.img linked above and use the same commands(except use the mac fastboot that you set up earlier)

There were no drivers needed to be installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlpineM3:
What about to unlock the boot loader? Thanks btw
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
The commands are the exact same as the commands for windows except your fastboot probably isn't called fastboot-windows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kipphh:
I found this guys and it seems to be the best and most straight forward guide to rooting the GN Ive found. Take a look http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus-rooting-roms-hacks/141563-guide-how-unlock-bootloader-root-verizon-galaxy-nexus.html

Also has a mac version along with video and other information.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kekspernikai:
Once you have fastboot loaded and the drivers, it's just a matter of booting to the bootloader and doing a fastboot OEM unlock. It should be no different.

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

OP:

No one will likely be doing a one-click system since this is a Nexus. Manual root is superior, and it is incredibly easy with some light knowledge of fastboot and adb. Honestly, I feel like if you cannot find your way around rooting a Nexus, perhaps you should not root it. An understanding of the system really comes in handy if you face issues.

Just unlock the bootloader using fastboot (there are instructions for this everywhere), then boot to an insecure boot.img of some sort (superboot is an option, I used koush's ClockworkMod image). Once you have this, you can use adb to push superuser to the system partition. If you overwrite the recovery, don't worry, because there is a script that will overwrite with the stock recovery after each boot.

If you want ClockworkMod permanently installed (as on your DINC, I presume) you will have to rename/remove the script. I have not done this, as I just re-flash ClockworkMod every time I alter something.

Hope that helps.

I don't seem to have the standard Android OS killing my battery, but I am still losing battery fast and it seems to be coming from the screen. I have turned down my screen to 10-20% (30 second turn off delay) with no change really.

Just got a VTAB and unfortunately it updated to 1.5, so no root for me.

That being said - I'd like to be able to take advantage of my Amazon Prime video on it. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work.

I installed Flash 11 from the market, since the tab didn't come with Flash installed. Then, using the stock browser, went to Amazon . com and selected Prime Video. The browser closed with no force close message, just closed. This happened about 5 times, til I gave up.

I know that xfinitytv won't work because it requres silverlight. Is there any way to use Prime on the VTAB? Are there other settings I could change?

Could you give a few more details? Which RUU did you flash, how did you flash it, what were you on before, were you S-OFF, etc? What happened right after flashing the RUU?

The red triangle and exclamation mark is what you'll see if you try to boot in to recovery when there is no custom recovery on the phone, e.g. if you have flashed a stock RUU. Have you pulled the battery and tried booting again? Can you boot in to bootloader by turning the phone on while holding vol down button?
