Can I root my keyboard dock?
YES!
But only a on a Tuesday and if you have a B80 or later tablet. Also, the dock must be at least a B100, anything less can't be rooted at this time. When we have ICS it may be possible then.
Cool. Will I still be able to get OTA updates if my dock is rooted?
I believe you can however get an adapter for a commodore 64 cartridge and root it using a copy of Klax.
Only if you have at 8GB SD Card in the card slot, as the OTA updates will be extra large to account for you having rooted the dock. Also, watch out for the over heating dock bug that can occur after you root it.

Hey. I'm asking a legitimate question and all I get are snarky comments. Your hurting my feelings. If you don't know the answer then why even post in my thread. Your comments are not welcome here
I hate to read the last 8 comments.... I mean..... that just too much... so what is the latest info on this? anyone?
ICS leaked on my dock and shorted the circuits.
You have ICS? How come you havent made an ICS rom yet?
It melted too fast.
And that's not to mention the soggy biscuit...

I believe that is normal functionality and is how the developers are trying to achieve root on the B90 and before docks.
so wait... when you root your dock, which button gets assigned superuser?

If it is rootable, it's on the back as that would be the part you'd see as it runs away.

My power button was broken and i ordered a new one.
I soldered it on and it worked but then it whent crazy the screen flickered on and off.
I had that for the replacement to.
So i tried to remove the button again and than it happened
The flat cable where you solder on the button broke off
Does anyone pleace no how to boot up the phone without the powerbutton
I ordered a new board but that could take up to 3 weeks
I want my phone back
Thanks for the help
In the play store is a app that replaces the buttons, not sure about the actual power button its self. If you can find a way to boot up, check it out. Also look around in play store
Not sure but you can possiably re assign the buttons

Yes i did that before the replacement button arrived and it worked well actually i didn't need the powerbutton any more but i want it to be fixed.
I just need to get it booting for one time.
Thanks for the thinking do
i wonder, does the sensation boot up if you connect it to AC adapter? to PC using USB cable? did you try that?
also, i once seen this on YouTube, never thought it would be useful, but who knows...

OR. through ADB, using this method
Thanks I found it to.

The black tape is over the button I think.
But that one is gone.
I tried scraping off the little peace of flat cable that is left off to get to the wires but thy are so small that when u touch them they brake.

wow man, you have a strong heart...i wouldn't dare do that with my phone
hmm...i found two places on the back of my phone with "black tape"...but i didn't take them off as i don't need to

And people like you are the reason the bootloader was locked.
I don't understand how this is even possible. Why would you think it was okay to Install a ROM over top carrier specific phone.
At the very least you could have asked to someone on the forum or created a thread if it could be done before you flashed it

I didn't ask if I messed up. I know I messed up.
I Did my research. I used Odin successfuley to root my phone, flash clockwork and install a10 or so cwm 9 and cwm 10 roms. I screwed my imei up and fixed it myself thru qspt. All I asked for was a simple answer to a simple question.
Thank yo u
I think your missing the point the fact that YOU fubared your phone and then got a replacement tells us all we need to know. End of story lock the thread down.

It's not an answer. I'll give you an answer, OP: You flashed the wrong ROM. You are now bricked. If you want to be unbricked, send it to a JTAG service http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/
Next time do a little more research. Clearly you missed step 1 which is NEVER FLASH A ROM THAT ISN'T MEANT FOR YOUR PHONE.
You know you guys could just be helpful instead of being very rude.

His way isn't a USB dongle. We see this at least 5 times a week in every section for this phone. People flash the wrong ROM (usually international) and they get no life out of it. The only way people have gotten it back was having it JTAGGED.

Instructions:
1. Turn off your phone and pull out the battery for about 10-15 seconds.
2. Just put the battery back and don’t turn it on.
3. Plug the USB Jig into the micro USB port on the phone.
4. After about 2-3 seconds, you can see the yellow download mode logo on the screen.
5. Unplug the USB Jig.
6. Connect your phone with USB cable to computer and then flash your phone via the program “odin”.
I'd try taking your battery out, holding the power button for a few seconds. Then leaving the battery out for 30 min first, before buying one.. I doubt it will work, but I have came out of bricks that way (blew my mind). Still prolly should do that when using the dongle.. MOST EVERY THING can have a dongle put into it, it's what the developers use to foce hardware into manufacturing mode, developer mode, customer mode, clear mem, maint. mode.

Game pad remote, don't have touchpad abilities anymore. When I first powered on the NVidia Console the game remote had touchpad abilities but since the 1.1 update that is no longer the case. Is touchpad only works with certain applications? Has anyone else have this issue? Thanks for any help. Also can we have a dedicated forum for the NVidia Shield Android TV? PLEASE! Thank you.
Same here.. I had to hook up my wireless mouse to use some of the side loaded apps I installed. .
---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------
Also I run my hot spot on my phone to get online. The providers out here only have super low speed and crazy high ping service. And my unlimited sprint plan with a hacked hot spot gives me around 12mbs down and about 50 to 60 ping. So the problem I'm having is say for smaller apps like 20 to 40 mb apps it downloads fine. But when I try to download larger apps like badlands at 165mb or asphalt8 it just sits at waiting for network. Is anyone else having this problem? Any info or advice would be most helpful.

Yup just read that.. I think their reasoning is none of the apps for Android TV should have touch capabilities. So they removed the touch from the controller.. But like I said a wireless mouse works fine but kinda a PIA.. Also for plp having the same issue I was having about apps not downloading, just install the play store 5.6.8 it is for phones and tablets but it will not sit on waiting for network.. you will have to manually update as the auto update is borked..

Anyone know how they removed support? I read that the touchpad still works when paired to a PC so it's not hardware/firmware disabled. Could it be a simple edit in the keylayouts file (root required)?
Got alerted via my phone that an update was available, so downloaded and installed it.
