Hey everyone,

I am thinking about the at305.

I have the thrive 101 and is an okay tablet, except for the sound.

How's the video and sound on the 305?

Can you use a micro usb to usb dongle to attach an exfat external drive?

I was also thinking about the at330. again, can an exfat usb external hdd be used?
[General Questions and Answers] Hawk600:
I received mine today from Costco, it as a 305 model 10" 16gb! There is a little light bleeding but almost unnoticeable.

It is one of the thinnest Tabs in the market, fast as my Nexus 7 and body and display are gorgeous!

The display is very bright and rich in colors and looks way better than my wife's Transformer; it is hard to believe is not an IPS dysplay with same resolution as the Transformer.

I only missing root :( !!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] m4f1050:
Got even a better question....

Has anybody gotten the ADB drivers up and running (EVEN ON A $ instead of the # ?) Then, if you get the $, can you try to TEMP-ROOT?

:D I don't speak for myself here!

any update on rooting this device? unlocking the bootloader etc.
[General Questions and Answers] mndshok:
I'll reply since no one else has. Unfortunately nothing good. Unless someone can hack the boot loader its dead in the water. Toshiba is no help (big surprise) and no one that I know of has hacked or is working on the boot loader. I actually got rid of mine today and am going to a different manufacturer all together. Sorry about the bad news.
[General Questions and Answers] popcorn900:
well i guess a rooted device is not necessary because most apps are cracked, and i don't like using roms so i guess my tab will do. gota love open source os's.
[General Questions and Answers] Hawk600:
Well, since Toshiba is making our lives so hard with a locked boot loader I am returning my 305.

It is an ok hardware, but after some comparison with a Transformer and a Nexus 7, the display has light bleed all over, browsing is frustrating, very slow and freezes (stock browser or Chrome) and Wi-Fi signal reception is half of TF101 or N7. (WiFi Analyzer app used to compare)

Custom roms could help or fix it but I won't risk my money and loose the returning period if Toshiba is pulling to the opposite way.

I will just buy an Asus quad or even Nexus10 as both have unlocked boot loaders and great dev support..
[General Questions and Answers] m4f1050:

Petition to Toshiba Started

Hi everyone, I started a petition on Change.org. I would appreciate your signature and the forwarding of this link to your friends. This is how people were successful with getting HTC and Motorola to unlock their bootloaders so I hope this works with Toshiba. Thanks a lot.

https://www.change.org/petitions/tos...ine-of-tablets

P.S. Feel free to post this link on other forums as well.
[General Questions and Answers] juvezavala:
I too have just bought the AT305 and love it. Not going to return it and trust that eventually somebody's going to find a way in to that bootloader. Just signed the petition posted by matt11601 at http://www.change.org/petitions/tos...&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=day_four_email and as of today there's only four more signatures needed. Will this move Toshiba's hearts, heck I don't know but definitely worth a shot if you own one of these.
[General Questions and Answers] hberg23:
just signed - 3 more needed now.
[General Questions and Answers] matt11601:
Thanks everyone for the support. We are past 100 signatures. This means our petition will be more visible on Change.org and hopefully gain more signatures. The next step is to contact Toshiba directly. I will do this within the coming week. In the meantime, please continue to share this petition. The more signatures, the better case we have.

On another note, if someone knows of a dev who is interested in this tablet, please let us know. Maybe we can all pool our money and get him/her a 7" Excite to develop on.
[General Questions and Answers] m4f1050:
IDK, but I regret buying it. NOW, if Toshiba said oh, we are going to have Windows 8 for the Excite 10, then I would be happy. But not even ADB on Android is ridiculous!

Agreed, completely ridiculous. It's a great premium tablet, but it could be so much better. I'm disappointed too, but haven't lost hope yet.

[General Questions and Answers] juvezavala:
Unlock the bootloader

Unlocking the bootloader is going to have to be the focus. Getting ADB is to work on this tablet is pretty simple using the this method on Windows machines. I am getting trouble now though with ADB actually detecting the Tablet - nothing under "show devices".

Now, my first tablet was the Acer Iconia Tab A500 which performed quite well using the Tegra 2. It had a huge pool of support both from XDA Devs and outside forums. thor2002ro was able to scratch some code up together and made the Acer Update Decrypter as shown here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099673. Which I believe is what we should try to do.

Sadly, I accepted two OTA updates from Toshiba without trying to disect them first. Don't think I would have been able to see them without root access to begin with anyway but yeah.

I don't recall if I was able to download the update and then authorize the actual installation of it or if it just installed it automatically after it downloaded. If anyone has an excite 10 (AT305) that is nagging for updates try to capture the update.zip or whatever Toshiba names it and if at all possible post it here so that we can bombard it with decryption attacks.

You went from "Unlock bootloader" to "Decrypt OTA update????" I know, sounds wierd but it can help with beginning to root this awesome hardware here that Toshiba put together.

Anybody with the AT305 try this yet - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1612591. Otherwise I'll try when I get home later. I've got ADB with no problems in case anyone has any recommendations!
[General Questions and Answers] juvezavala:
Nvidia Tegra 3!

The Acer Iconia Tab A500 allowed for the flashing of many components by putting the tablet into "APX" mode. Grab you CPUID, turn it into an SBK and you 'theoritically' can flash recovery and/or bootloader to the Excite also. The questions are many but I believe getting this done should be much like the work from the recognized devs for the A500 (Civato, Blackthund3r, Moscow Desire, Skrilax_CZ, ezterry......):

-How the hell do you throw the Toshiba Excite AT305 into APX?

-Will Blackthund3r's SBK generator work with the same schema now that we are talking about Tegra3 vs Tegra2?

-Building a patched/unlocked bootloader is definitely necessary (as well as backing up the stock bootloader if at all possible)

-Nobody has a CWM based recovery for the Toshiba Excite AT305 - Can we build one?

I'll PM some of these fine men to provide their input. If someone's willing to build, someone must be willing to try!
[General Questions and Answers] m4f1050:
How did you get ADB working???
[General Questions and Answers] juvezavala:
Assuming you're on Windows - go here http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/t...cite-usb-adb-driver-installation-package.html and install that driver while the Excite is disconnected. Once it's done you should be able to plug the Excite in and ignore any driver update warnings. Try the ADB bridge and it should show your Excite.

The real focus I think should be on getting that secureboot = 1 to a secureboot = 0. Unlocked bootloader in other words. Trouble is no fastboot is available. I think if we can get it to fastboot we should be able to nvflash. In case you haven't played with Tegra check out these threads for some info http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1619913 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514951 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1810618

Your warranty will likely void by doing this and I have no responsibility if you brick your device:

I'm running Windows 8

I've got APX Mode!

1. Download the APX driver here - http://developer.download.nvidia.co...ardhu-ics-1.0-windows-2012-05-21-11617556.exe

2. Turn off the Excite

3. Pop it open as shown here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlLEpb4RGGE - Remember to disconnect the speakers!

4. Connect it to your PC and press the button closest to the headphone jack/SD Card slot along with the Volume Down and Power. Once you feel the power up vibration you can release all buttons - watch your fat fingers and don't touch anything else!

5. Do not disconnect it before power-cycling it

6. Flash away with your SBK!

**We need someone to pull the boot.img and recovery.img from the excite to have stock backups

**We can then decompress the boot.img, make the necessary tweeks for an unlocked bootloader and then reflash it back to the tablet using your SBK and Blackthund3r's APX Flash Utility

**Someone needs to start building a good CWM Based Recovery for this, preferably touch!

We're literally moments (days) from root on this fine machine if we pull together!

change. org/petitions/toshiba-america-information-systems-inc-digital-products-division-unlock-the-bootloader-on-the-toshiba-excite-line-of-tablets

The reason we cannot root the Toshiba Excite currently, is because Toshiba decided to LOCK THE BOOTLOADER!

In order to be able to root, Toshiba needs to get their developers to unlock the bootloader! To get Toshiba to agree to do this, we need to get this petition signed!

Please sign it for yourself and the benefit of all Toshiba Excite (AT300, AT305, etc.) owners so we can get this tablet rooted!

Hey guys i would like to to say hi before i mention the below.

Ok 1st i am not a developer or any knid of computer guru. Since the Excite and The ASUS Transformer use the Tegra 3 has anyone tried the ASUS bootloader unlock tool from the ASUS web page to see if it will work on the excite or maybe can be tweaked to work for the excite. If i am way off base on this i apologize and sorry for taking up thread space. i wish you all luck on rooting this device, my boss has one and they seem pretty solid.
[General Questions and Answers] RGOLD:
It's no going to work for the Toshiba here is why:

" The unlocker tool is a simple apk file that users install and run. The app then connects to Asus servers, logs the user’s device ID and then unlocks that bootloader."
[General Questions and Answers] MJRL:
Any luck on this, or could we expect anything?

I saw this tablet today with a nice price, but with no root i think i will choose one with low specs.

One essential thing for me in the tablet its to have multiple users, and i only can get that for now with switchme, and need root.

Thanks

To be quite honest, I'm considering a small claims lawsuit against Toshiba or even a class action lawsuit if many more can get involved.
