So you got it for 120$? That's an epic deal. Congratz.

However, with ebay it is a dangerous game sometimes. I looked through the Atrix phones listed as "for parts" yesterday. There was one which shows "Failed to boot" message and shuts off immiediately <-- that's a hard brick. But the seller listed it as an "easy software fix". :D

Another one was also described as easy fix with the "failed to start modem" message, which is a sign of hardware water damage.

So yeah, deal hunting is fun, but precautions should be taken first. :)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] kotchishm:
That's awesome you should message the seller and tell him. LOL no that would be mean
[Atrix 4G Accessories] princeandy63:
Yep, $120 minor scratches, nothing a case and a screen protector can't solve,

And indeed its risk to buy off eBay...

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iskor12:
I've done a ton of reading on this forum only to find out that it's locked down pretty tight and getting Root and Roms installed can be a pain. I then went over to the Lenovo Website where it looks as if the tablet is going to be discontinued soon. I ended up chatting with a rep from Lenovo and I asked them if the K1 will be getting ICS and they said NO! So now I'm mildly disappointed in my purchase.

Is the K1 going to be worth keeping? Are we going to get a fully functional ICS rom? I see that there is some developement on CM9, but it has it's issues still. I guess what I am writing this for is, I need to know if I should just throw the K1 on Ebay and look for a more open and upgradeable tablet?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gallahad2000:
Root is a fairly simple, follow the directions, sort of process. Rom installation is the same as root. The problem isn't installation but bugs because we need driver files for ICS. Also, Lenovo hasn't released all of the source code or the bootloader, the previously released source code wasn't functional. The K1 was supposed to be getting ICS in may but it looks as though that was taken off the official website (a screen capture from before it was removed).

Hopefully we can shame Lenovo into releasing full source code and bootloader.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iskor12:
It would be a shame if we don't get ICS, but the way the rep at lenovo was talking, it simply isn't going to happen. As soon as I mentioned it, he said that it wasn't possible for the K1 to run ICS and then he started pushing their new tablet on me that was upgradeable to ICS. Its as if they completely dropped the K1.

Do you have links to the root and CM9 installation process that worked for you? I've read the threads and it seems as if some of them have many problems. Also, did you use windows 7? It seems as if most of the instructions are for Ubuntu
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gallahad2000:
It's BS that the K1 can't run ICS. My Nook Color can run ICS flawlessly with a 2 year old single core processor. Plus there's already an ICS alpha here on this site, we just don't have the code to get the cameras and other things working.

I would personally recommend that you stick to just rooting until the K1's ICS is further along. The root works flawlessly but ICS has the bugs that are mentioned in the first post.

Here's how I rooted: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13407-alpha-ideapad-k1-cwm-stock-rooted-rom-120109-build/

Just an Update

Lenovo released this news March 31st so its relevant to this post.

:Lenovo ThinkPad and K1 Tablet upgrade to ICS Newsflash

This coming spring 2012, Lenovo’s ThinkPad Tablet and IdeaPad Tablet K1 users will be able to upgrade to the latest Android 4.0 OS, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich. Committed to making their tablets ‘future proof’ by supporting newer releases on the Android OS, Lenovo tablets with Ice Cream Sandwich will offer new features* including but not limited to:

A new and improved browser with a significant speed enhancement that allows users to jump to their favorite content faster and even save it for reading later in case there's no network available.

Voice input allows users to dictate text. As the voice input engine enters text, it underlines possible dictation errors in gray. After dictating, users can tap the underlined words to quickly replace them from a list of suggestions.

Face Unlock, a new screen-lock option that lets users unlock their device with their face. It takes advantage of the devices’ front-facing camera and state-of-the-art facial recognition technology to register a face during setup and then recognize it again when unlocking the device.

Users should look out for the Over-The-Air (OTA) upgrades beginning in April for IdeaPad Tablet K1 and May for ThinkPad Tablet. Visit shortly for more information.

* Features may vary by model and country."

Looks like K1 will be getting ICS this month (April)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gallahad2000:
I guess they got enough angry emails. Between this and the USB host cable, this is turning into a decent purchase.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Cybie257:
I know this is an older thread, but I though I would update with the news from Mark, in the Lenovo forums, that works for Lenovo, says the ICS for the K1 is just around the corner. They were about ready to say it's a go, but found a issue that needed fixing first. Then, they need to get the web page with all the disclaimers and whatnot about the release.

The ICS release for the K1 will NOT be an OTA. It will be a download only with full instructions. The best part of it all, at least in my opinion, is that it will be a Vanilla Release of ICS. No Lenovo junkware included. :)

Lenovo is being targeted as a company that lacks the ability to provide updates on a timely scale and as promised. I have yet to see ANY Android manufacturer fully comply with promises for ICS upgrades. So, hang in there and we will soon see ICS on our K1, aside from the crippled, but stable, CM9 version, here on XDA.

-Cybie
[Thinkpad Tablet General] docfreed:
Go To Their Website

a. Ideapad K1 is discontinued

b. Can no longer download drivers!

So whoever is feeding info regarding any update is probably FOS - typical Chinee BS - don't think that Lenovo has any thought of upgrading. Throwing mine onto Ebay

[HTC Wildfire S] maestro_mihagi:
Hello all,

I am a happy WFS user, with S-off, CWM, rooted, link2sd with ext3 partition.

I installed stock rom europe 2.13.401.3 recently and now I receive the message that a new update is available for the phone. I downloaded with Wi-fi bu when it tried to install it I have a screen with a white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark inside. Removing the battery and restarting everything is fine.

Do you know why it is not working? What is the update about? can I get it somewhere else?

I checked in the stock ROM list and the last version is still 2.13.401.3.

Thank you for your help.
[HTC Wildfire S] hardikrajgor123:
Personally, I wouldn't suggest you to do the OTA since you have an S-OFF. You could brick your phone.

Why not try any of these fast and beautiful custom ROM's?

Well you can install superuser but no root apps get granted permision.

thank you for your help guys. I won't take the risk, I've disabled the updates :D. I didn't know it was dangerous, I thought I was safe with stock ROM.

I found the .zip file downloaded for the update and apparently it is the 2.14 firmware.

Please upload (on 2shared.com for example) or provide a link to the zip file
[HTC Wildfire S] maestro_mihagi:
Sure, is there anything I should delete inside the .zip for my privacy before uploading?
[HTC Wildfire S] rioachim:
nope, the update is standard. please upload the zip file (from sd card, I assume). thank you.
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
The reason you did not get the update to work is that it requires the stock recovery to flash it. That big exclamation mark is the phone saying that the stock radio is not there and it doesn't know what to do. If you flash the update like you would a rom I would imagine you would be fine but best check the files inside First. Worst case scenario your rom stops working, and at minimum you'll lose root.:D

I like this phone a lot but the 4G connection is so unstable that it makes the whole experience very frustrating.

I used to have an HTC EVO 4g, and despite all, it would connect to 4G inside my office and most importantly it would stay connected the whole time.

The same thing with my Motorola Photon, The phone didn't have full bars while on 4g but it would stay connected to it as long as I wanted.

My SG2 however, disconnects very ramdomly.

Say it's connected to 4G and as soon as I wake up the phone, it turns off.

Say it's already on and connected to 4G, as I open an app, it disconnects.

One of the worse parts, is when it disconnects and doesn't even give a 3G connection but a 1X

Ohh it's very frustrating. I love this phone and its features but if the software is so unstable I would consider replacing it.

btw, I'm in NYC, My phone is rooted with the StrongSteve Odexed Blue EL29 custom ROM, and I got the latest modem (FB27).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Pros and cons. That is a tough one as most people will surely give you different opinions of what they like and don't like. I can give you my opinions of the phone but that doesn't mean a single person on the planet will agree. Coming from the HTC world this is my first Samsung phone so it is taking some getting used to.

My pros and cons.

Pros:

Screen size

Weight

Thinness of the phone very sleek

Speed

Screen quality is absolutely phenomenal!

S-pen is cool!

Battery life compared to my Inspire 4G is out of bounds!

Overall smooth cohesive experience with Touchwiz

Easily rooted thanks to the devs in this forum!

Camera quality is superb.

Cons:

Or should I say Con and this is totally a matter of preference.

Touchwiz interface. I know I gave it a pro but I personally just enjoy a pure AOSP experience. My Inspire shipped with Sense UI and again preference only, I hated Sense. I do not hate Touchwiz, in fact it is really not bad at all and actually quite good. So this is really not even a Con but just a preference. I can install a different launcher and pretty much have an AOSP feeling rom. The Beauty of Android! And in all reality Touchwiz really in my opinion doesn't stray that far off from stock android as far as experience truthfully. Samsung has done a great job with hardware and software and I am truly impressed with my first Samsung device. In my own opinion I would take Touchwiz over Sense, Moto Blur or any of the other interfaces these companies have slapped on top of vanilla Android.

So really all in all, No Cons for me!
