Relax, since you haven't even received your phone yet I wouldn't worry. Besides, don't forget the people posting on these forums are a fraction of people who have received this phone and have no issue. People post when they have issues, not so much when they don't.

The pictures they took were taken with screenshots so its all software. The displays are fine. When a phone first releases someone always finds something that's not right with it. I find that's very minor compared to the screen seperation with the nexus 7 and light bleed with htc phones

Tell me which Samsung phone with amoled hasn't had some people complain about the screens. I would venture that 95%+ of those owners don't have a calibrated TV or monitor, or even close.

I've seen much worse with demo monitors, whether they be phones, TVs or monitors and people oooh and aaah about how great they look. So right now I am shaking my damn head.

I can confirm that with the brightness turned up max, the purple tinge does seem to be reduced.

[MENTION=5011635]SW686[/MENTION],

Many, many thanks to you for your work on this.

Applying the latest OTA update for my ASUS TF700T left it in an almost unusable state due to some core frameworks not getting their permissions set properly. Fortunately, I still had ADB access, I just needed to get superuser privileges to fix the problem.

In the course of doing my research on how motochopper works so as to write my own exploit, I came across your posts. The clear and detailed explanations are excellent and saved me a great deal of time. Your kernelchopper did its job beautifully and allowed me to obtain a root shell and get my tab back to fully working condition. Although, admittedly, I was looking forward to the fun of writing my own hack. ;) Thank you, again!

Cheers!

P.S. If you have a PayPal account and are so inclined, PM me your addy so I may send you a few dollars in appreciation.

[General Questions and Answers] becomingx:
What's the version of the ROM you're running?
[General Questions and Answers] nex86:
Rv16rc01 (Android 4.1.1)

I know there is a way to root it with an insecure boot.img, but that requires to unlock the bootloader.

It's just that there are people who want to root it without unlocking it, because there is no way to relock it.
[General Questions and Answers] becomingx:
OK, so the instruction to modify and its location are a bit different due to a combination of Acer building the kernel optimized for size and using (I believe) GCC 4.6. The instruction offset is 0x0006d258 and the instruction to modify is 0x0a000009.

These commands assume the kernel image starts at address 0x80008000. You can verify this using the command:

grep -Ei 'kernel (code|text)' /proc/iomem

The new set of commands and their output are:

shell@android:/data/local/tmp $ ./kernelchopper m 80075258
0a000009
shell@android:/data/local/tmp $ ./kernelchopper m 80075258 eaffffff
shell@android:/data/local/tmp $ ./kernelchopper shell
shell@android:/data/local/tmp # id
uid=0(root) [snipped]

This should give you root privileges and let you proceed with the rest of the rooting process.

Out of curiosity, did you try to just run motochopper? It will push over the superuser application and binary for you and doesn't require modifying the kernel memory by hand.

[General Questions and Answers] fluxx_srb:
Hi people,

First I have to say I admire your knowledge. I have a ZTE Blade G phone that hasn't been rooted yet. I figured the motocopper exploit might help, since the phone has MSM8225 SoC and it runs 4.1.2 android. It would not work. It actually wrote success once, but didn't actually get root. Now it just writes Bus Error. Now, I've poked a little with kernelchopper, but my /proc/iomem says quite a different thing from yours, presumably because the phone has just 512MB ram. If I try to dump any addresses above 80008000, it writes bus error. Here's the output:

00200000-0fbfffff : System RAM
00208000-00a48c6b : Kernel code
00a80000-00d33a23 : Kernel data
0fc01000-0fcfffff : System RAM
0fd01000-0fdfffff : System RAM

a0300000-a0300fff : uartdm_resource
a0300000-a0300fff : msm_serial_hsl

I don't really know what this means, but I know in your program you don't allow addresses below 0x50000000, so it won't work. I figured I would kind of dump the whole kernel ram and search for similar commands. I don't even know how, but I figure it would be fun. So, can you point me in the right direction here? I'm a noob, but I want to learn. BTW, for my phone, there isn't any recovery image or I could disassemble, and the bootloader seems to be locked too.
[General Questions and Answers] becomingx:
Hi fluxx_srb,

I can have a go at walking you through this if you'd like.

The prerequisites are: a LInux system with an ARM cross-compilation setup, the Linux kernel for your device (I usually get this from the firmware package provided by the OEM), and a copy of the kernel source used for the device (again, from the OEM).

Once you've got all these in place, then we can move on the technical nitty-gritty.

Install terminal IDE

Then type at its prompt:

Now, use the string shown by pwd instead of /data/.tmp/ in my rooting method.
