I have personally never once heard of this actually happening, not over rooting alone. (over things that are achieved through rooting, like excessive tethering/data usage/forced roaming, yes)

And in fact, I've very rarely heard of sprint enforcing warr issues over it either, as long as one is smart.

(edit) I'm actually curious about your aversion to copyright issues and using custom ROMs?

(more edit) ah, didn't read your "ps". ;) never mind, even though I'm still fascinated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arpruss:
After further investigation, it looks like I can't find a fully legal and safe way to root.

I thought that installing an insecure kernel would do the job. But unfortunately the initramfs inside the zImage includes, in addition to the GPL Linux kernel itself, Samsung-copyrighted non-GPL code, such as redbend_ua, various Samsung-copyrighted image files and customized .rc scripts. So it looks like I can't legally download an insecure kernel.

I could build one myself, copying the files that will go into initramfs from my phone, and modifying to make it insecure.

But the problem is that this is unsafe, as I will have no way of restoring the stock kernel if I screw up in building the kernel, since there does not appear to be any legally available download of the stock kernel anywhere. (Check FUS doesn't seem capable of downloading EL29, but in any case in the US there are legal issues--DMCA--with Check FUS's decryption.) And without root, I cannot simply dump the kernel from the device using dd--if I could, that would solve the problem.

So, here's my question: Does anyone know any legal way of restoring the stock EL29 kernel (i.e., without downloading the stock firmware from an unauthorized location)?

This is really frustrating. I am not a lawyer, but it looks like one needs to be one to figure out how to root a device properly. Of course, I expect people think I am nitpicking. (But then again, I am a professional nitpicker in my day job.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j_shelton1988:
May i ask what is the reason for wanting to go through all this hassle to root your phone "legally"?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Yes download it strait from Samsung as they have to post the firmware online as its open source...

https://opensource.samsung.com/index.jsp;jsessionid=FF0EE2E3CBD55BC19F669F0AC57CBFC8

Scroll down to sph-d710 there you can get it from them but technically everything in Android is OPEn source except the drivers....

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Dreds71:
when looking for a release date this morning, I found this at neweeg.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215347

Although the specs aren't what I was told, look at the display ratio, is this the A700 or just a step on the way

Sorry about that, I got a little excited when I looked at the specs.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] wolverine423:
Acer A510-10k32u

Its right there in the title of the listing......

510 =/= 700
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] realShadow:
Hi guys,

even though I wish you would be right and the A700 would be out already (I am really hot for it) the A510 is the "predecessor" for the A700. :( As far as I know the difference is the display. The A700 will have a HD screen. The A510 has a regular one only.

I would appreciate getting more information from Acer when I can buy the 700...

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Athrun88:
*facepalm*
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] KnukLHead:
The a510 has about a 720p display. Its not bad at all. In fact you won't see much of a differance between a 720 and 1080 on a 10 inch screen. Sure it will be a little clearer and crisper but not by that much. I was gonna wait for the 700 but when I heard it was gonna be around $700 I decided to go ahead and get the 510. Like ive said before. I can build a new AR15 or some other nice toy like that for that much.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] wynand32:
I'll never understand how people try to argue that these differences in screen density don't matter. Of course the 224PPI screen on the A700 is going to be generally much sharper than the 149PPI screen on the A510. Text, pictures, pretty much everything will look significantly better. And yes, I'm writing this on an iPad with 264PPI, which I'm only using because I've yet to find an Android tablet with a screen that comes even close to being as pleasant to use.

Of course, this post is moot, because the A700 is being priced at $549 for 32GB, which is a kick in the teeth to people,who just paid the same for the A510. But seriously, the higher the PPI, the better the abler experience.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] dxwilliams40:
Amazon has them on pre-order for $449 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083PR7N2/ref=s9_al_bw_g147_ir01?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-4&pf_rd_r=0EF6F40XZ30M3KK40W75&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1372161002&pf_rd_i=1232597011

Yeah, typo. I meant $449, which of course is really the same as the A510.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] naira1:
For what u get the price is OK. The screen is worth the extra 50 bucks. And there will surely be offers for less. I'll take this over the A510 anyday. Just my 2 cent.

Hi,

I have my A700 since last saturday, pre-ordered it from Amazon on may 9th.

I'm missing a little performance, but runs ok for me.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] rushless:
Agreed. I have the iPad 3 and have had the Thrive, A510 and Toshiba Excite. Though for games there is not much difference, there can be a profound difference for apps, web, images and video.

That said the, gpu is a lot more robust on the iPad 3, so not sure if a performance hit would be worth it on the A700. Nothing is for free, so not seeing how there is not a hit with the 700.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BlogYourEarth:
I also preordered it at Amazon for 479 EUR but I will not get it before June 20th :mad:

I am really excited about the Full HD display. Any experience with that yet?

Post a review and video :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] wynand32:
Very true re: the Tegra 3 being impacted by the 1920X1200 resolution. Which is why I'm seriously considering the Excite 7.7, which will have decently high density at 196PPI but still good performance at 1280X800. Of course the screen is smaller, but that might be a plus. Also, AMOLED would give good colors and contrast. Of course, it's also expensive at $499. Maybe the Nexus will have a decent screen.

We'll see... Lots of choices.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] KnukLHead:
Lol. Spoken like a true iphan. No offense
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bleclair:
Just got my Excite 7.7... Performance is excellent, coming from a 7.7 Tab that was feeling a bit anemic. Pretty nice little device.

Only disappointments so far:

Lots of games not supported, Dead Space, Mass Effect, etc.

No video out.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] unixtool1192:
That is awesome. I pre-order mine on amazon yesterday, and amazon states it should arrive by the 22nd! I have been waiting for an announcement of a ship date for the a700 for the US, but found nothing. I hope I do get it by this weekend, that would be great. When was it available in Europe?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bbqtho:
Mine was shipped on June 8th, so i was holding it in my hands on june 9th.

But it`s still bad available here, like A510 was in the beginning.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Screwedupsmitty:
<3 amazon prime, paid 4 extra bux and got mine today. So far, definitely worth it. Screen is gorgeous, brightness is not as bad as the initial reviewer made it out to be, lag is non-existant once you get everything uploaded. Benchmarks are posted in general section if your interested.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Beknatok:
Aaaaand my fiancee just ordered one for me from Amazon... due to show up Friday!

We're getting each other tablets for wedding gifts (she wants an iPad 3)... geek couples rule!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] XooLoo:
Gotta love Prime... Just ordered mine literally a few minutes ago... it was weird because I had the overnight option as well as two-day option, but they both showed delivery date as guaranteed for Friday! So I was like... "ummmm... Do I want to pay an extra 4 bucks to have it on Friday or not pay anything extra and still have it on Friday..." Obviously I chose not to pay the extra! But it was funny to even get that option. :)

Glad to see your comment re the brightness... that's one of my chief concerns. I am not too worried about the back temperature since I won't be doing much gaming on it...

BTW, what color did you get? The black? Amazon shows the other color (silver was it?) had a few extra processing days, so I went with black--either way I think I would've gone with black...

I ordered this case: (I can't post a link here due to my low number of posts, but it's "A700 Slim folio Case" on Amazon) . Hopefully, it'll be a good case.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Beknatok:
Hah, saw and commented on the shipping quirk on Amazon as well!

But I didn't see that the Silver had any "extra days" for processing anywhere? Went with Silver so hopefully won't get screwed.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Screwedupsmitty:
Got the black, didn't want to buy a case because in all honesty the surface had me torn as to whether I should buy an android tablet at this point since I use it more for productivity as compared to consumerism. Long story short I'll wait to see what kind of pricing we see on the Intel side of the w8 tablets and if the price in a reasonable range, but I was sick of the terrible computers at ,y workplace so I needed something to help me get work done in. Timely matter. When you can only open 2 ie windows tops it really inhibits your ability to do work. I'll prolly wait a week to ensure I'm as in love with this as I need to be to get my money put in it then buy a case and screen protector, since it isn't gorilla glass. Although as I mentioned before I have an old igo foldable keyboard that I used to use with an old windows mobile phone that works like a champ as a stand for now, it would be nice to have something when im not typing on the keyboard as a viewing stand.

A701 3G 32GB is available for preorder in Svyaznoy for 21990 rub (~$666 USD). Not a bad price, just 2000 more expensive than poor Galaxy Tab 2 3G, but i still keep my faith on Lenovo Ideapad K2, though there is a very large possibility that it was cancelled...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] unixtool1192:
I have amazon prime, too, but when I ordered mine I thought it was pre order only. If I had realized that I could have paid a few extra bucks and have it today instead of tomorrow, I definitely would have. I can't wait. My wife wanted here Galaxy Tab 8.9 back and I am letting my cousin use my iPad2, so for now, I am tablet-less. :( But hopefully tomorrow night will be spent playing with my new toy. I just picked up Mass Effect on the play store for $0.99 USD and I can't wait to play that on my a700 (it looks great on my GNex).
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] wynand32:
No, spoken by someone who can objectively recognize a better screen. I'm not blinded by my like or dislike of any manufacturer or platform--I use what works best for me. And it's simply impossible (and stupid) to argue that higher pixel density doesn't make for a better experience.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] loonix:
Have had my eyes on it for for a long time. Got the A510 because I couldn't wait anymore. I talked to a Lenovo CSR back in May and she indicated a late July release at that time. Of course cannot trust that even though she was an employee. The way I saw it, wife will get this Acer if the K2010 ever comes out. Glad there are others who are waiting for it too
[HTC Desire S] jebinio:
hi, how will you compare these two roms against eachother?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
This has been discussed too many times now...

So many thread on this. There is no 'better' one. Its just the one that suits your needs the best will be the better one for you.

I think one of the Runnymede Extreme has the swipe notifications though. That's a good feature, but doesn't determine whether the ROM is better or not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyrusas:
I had ICS Stunner in my Note working properly.

I needed to revert back to stock GB, so I downloaded the stock ROM from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1590284

N7000XXLC1-2.3.6-2012 March-N7000CPWLB2--United Kingdom

(my phone is NOT from UK).

After that I followed these steps:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24535533#post24535533

I've done everything up to "After this start your restore from nandroid backup , or flash any GB rom".

When I try to "choose zip from internal card" and choose the beforementioned ROM, I get the message "E:Can't open /emmc/1/GT-N7000..... Installation aborted".

If i try to choose file from external SD card I get "Can't mount /sdcard/".

I've tried flashing Abyssnote 3.9 as per this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599229

Still same problem.

Does it have something to do, that the ROM I've downloaded isn't the same as my original ROM? (I mean the letters at the end, like LA4, KL2 and so on. I can't remember my original ones)?

And I don't have any backup.

Can someone help me get back to ANY gingerbread? :(

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasad.adam:
I think you should go back to any stock rootable GB ROM using ODIN. Then flash your custom GB ROM over it and then restore your apps using Titanium Backup or any such tool provided you have used the same to back up your apps.

Had the very same problem. At a welknown site a registred and downloaded a original rom. A rooted rom did not worked with my Note. After that i flashed the Rom with pit file completely. And yes, miricaly it worked! My only problem was that i picked a rom which had no rooting available so i had to downgrade.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markchip:
Ok noob-ish question...

I have a Galaxy Tab S2 GT-I9100 running gingerbread 2.3.3 (VillainRom 1.4.0) and a non-stock kernel after deciding to be brave and update from 2.2 to 2.3. I've decided to use ICS in the form of the codename android version but, so far, I've not found a good recommendation for which kernel to run with it - I don't even know if it makes a lot of difference/is critical/or what as I'm still only learning about flashing roms, etc.. Matr1x kernel along with codename android seemed to be recommended but that was on a Samsung Note not a Galaxy S2 - does it matter?

NB. I have rooted this phone and installed CWM if that helps.

Can anyone advise me please (with links, if possible)

Thanks, Mark
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram3n:
Hey dude,

To make easy, my humble advice is to start with my new tweaked combo : Wanam + AbyssKernel 2.2.

Take a look :

I can easily last 1hour screen on time with 89- 88% left.

AbyssPlug gov + Noop

Extreme UC UV settings.

Bloatware freezed.

What do you think ? Pretty awesome isn't it ? :D

Best battery life with really nice performance.

Come on, you should try it..

My two cents.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markchip:
Thanks for that but as there are so many roms available I really wanted to go with ICS and codename android, at least to start with! I'm not keen on making too many changes and experimenting as I'm only a beginner in this field and the last thing I want to do is make loads of changes and brick it by making a mistake. I certainly appreciate all the effort people like you make and it makes life much easier for the rest of us plebs!

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
Do not mix and match kernels and/or ROM's from other devices. Look under the battery and make sure you have an international GT-I9100 and not a varient such as GT-I9100G.

Sent from my Telecommunications Device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markchip:
Definitely the international version

Baseband version - I9100BVKH1

Kernal version - 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKH1-CL438706

se.infra@SEI-20 #2

The reason I mention the Matr1x kernel is that is was listed as a good combo in a page on "codename android on Galaxy S2" but it then went on about the galaxy nexus S. I didn't know whether they were different phones or the same phone with different names in different markets. :confused:

Anyhow I need to know if my existing kernel is good with ICS or if there is a better one to use on this phone.

Cheers all!

If it would be Phiexz initiative (after promessing 2 weekly updates) and nothing further on his personal web site ... it seems as if he is hit pretty hard...
