[Q] E FUN Next2 (Nextbook2) Rooting?

Hey y'all.... just got the E FUN Next2 (Android 1.5 eReader) that doesn't even have the real Android Market on there. I'd like to just simply wipe it and put a vanilla install of Android 2.1 or 2.2 whichever is fine with me. However, I can't find anyone out there who's even tried to root this bloody thing. Y'all have any helpful hints or could even point me in the right direction? Here is are the specs for the eReader http://www.nextbookusa.com/productdetail.asp?product_id=1
HELP ME, OBEWON! HELP ME!

Hey, i also just got one, I have been basically searching for the same thing you have with no luck.
I have asked at nextbookusa if they planned on having any sort of update for a newer version of droid and they said not anytime soon.
So i would like to find a way to install droid like you or im thinking of returning it for a dif one.

I second that request!
Got an E FUN Next2 as a gift and I can't leave well enough alone.
Android 1.5 just isn't cutting it! HELP!

Lets go people, thought you all would right on top of this...

I have a programming background and I'd be willing to help if I knew where to start at least.

No headway. Need help!
Ok, since this if my first Android device (received as a gift), I'm not going to give up on it! I've been reading, here on XDA and other forums, and found a ton of other information, but nothing seems to pretain to the Next2.
Found a bit of hope on a thread following the Next3 on androidtablets.net (I'm still a low level forum user, so not outside links yet.) Unfortunately, I tried running the generic root tool Universal Androot with no success (still no root access).
I'm also having trouble due to the fact that the pad has no PHYSICAL home, back, settings, etc buttons. It seems to negate a lot of the basic rooting applications out there.
I realize this tablet isn't the most amazing and spectacular device available, but it has some potential, and I'd like to see what it can do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The more and more I mess with this Next2 the more I figured I got what I paid for. The is a great unit for reading books and minor bs apps..Most of the apps will install but won't work...And most of the apps that are available are bs and have no use...lol This site is usually hot on new gadgets and help the common folk out...Please figure out how to turn this KIA into a Hyundai...lol

So you can root this with Universal Androot 1.6.2 Beta 5. This gives you perm or temp root access. I haven't seen a rom for the device though. I really want to get rid off the the extra os junk.

has anybody had anyluck with the next2?

[Q] T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant t959

Hello all and right away I'd like to start with this. Please don't think of me like I don't want to do no work at all as you'll understand later on I did a lot of research but I am simply too confused and stuck to continue with confidence that I know 100% all nuances and details so I can do whatever I want successfully so if possible don't flame my questions too if possible
A Week ago I got a T-Mobile t959 Vibrant as a gift from someone and because I know pretty much everything about iphone and Android system is same if not more "hackable" I decided to do the tricks myself, I didn't know how much available, and I really love to keep this short and don't bored you with my lack of Android knowledge. Let me begin with complete spec so I possibly can get correct solution to my problem.
Unit: Samsung Galaxy S
Carrier: T-Mobile
Model: SGH-T959
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Baseband: T959UVJI6
Kernel: 2.6.29
Build number: ECLAIR.UVJI6
Manuf. Date: 10.10.2010
I think this should be enough info about my unit but if you need something else plz let me know.
Here are things I am trying to do and already did.
1. Root.
I Successfully Rooted my phone by using a tutorials I found on internet. I have Superuser icon in my apps list.
2. Unlock
I could not unlock my phone. Only tool I found that I can actually understand and complete instructions is SGS Unlock tool. It could not help me on both root and un-root ways. So I'll need help with this.
3. Update to latest version.
from what I understand there are custom builds available like Darkys 9.2 and it's collection of a lot of things that pretty much all in one deal. I almost tried to install it myself but I could not find home button on my Vibrant to go to download mode so I gave up.
4. Rest of cool stuff.
I really don't know guys but I am sure there is soo much for android I don't know. Just like when people come to me with iphone I offer so much I bet it's same with this. General tips I guess.
Well that's it guys. If possible please just tell me in few short words on how to do this things if possible may be some YouTube video or something cause I am soo confused with everything and that "Hold Home button" in instructions was last drop when I said "I don't even have home button on my phone, what am I doing"
Please help, Thank you.
P.S.
1. Can I use ebay to order unlock code ?
2. Will phone remain unlock after I upgrade to 2.2 ?
3. Can I upgrade to 2.2 with Kies mini then root / unlock it ?
So many questions and thousands of answers .....
UPDATE !
I just purchased SGS Unlock pro and it looks like it worked ! I don't have sim to test with but I think I did it. From what I understand it's same people who run this site, Thank you !

I guess noone knows. It's all good. At list can you tell me if this will do this trick ?

[Q] Uber Noob need help with HTC One S bought in Beijing

Hey Guys,
As I mentioned in the title I am an uber noob when it comes to any sort of customization. I am travelling for 8 months, so I decided to pick up the HTC One S (first smart phone) instead of a laptop in Beijing because I thought it would be more useful. However, I'm already experiencing many difficulties.
Everything is in Chinese and I want English apps, but the Chinese app market loaded onto the phone has nothing in English. I have been searching through these forums trying to root my phone and flash a new rom onto it in hopes of accessing Google Play (I might need a VPN, too). However, some of the sites where I need to download software from (mediafire in particular) are inaccessible from where I am. How should I proceed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! (and please in fairly simple terms for my noobish brain to handle or something I'd be able to search online)

Try to change the language in settings!

Before you try and unlock/root/flash your device, make sure it is an actual HTC One S, not some clone, and make sure you know whether you have an S3 or S4 model.

Click to expand...

Does your phone look like one of these? In that case it does not have much in common with the One S versions in the rest of the world and you should absolutely not flash anything from xda. Even if it looks like the "normal" One S do as Jobo mentioned and pay attention to if it is a Z520e ("S4") or Z560e ("S3") and only flash stuff made specifically for your version. There should be a model number on the box.

[Q] Tweaking Mach Speed Xtreme tablet 7c

Hi,
My kids both received Mach Speed Xtreme Tablet 7c as gifts. I found they have problems that I am hoping I can fix with help. Firstly, they do not have Google Play Store on them. We have been using Aptoide and Amazon, but neither app runs very well. I would prefer to have Play Store on it since I am familiar with it from my own devices. Also, they are very slow and they crash often. I get a lot of force closes and a lot of Not Responding. Bad enough that they are hardly touched. Is this just a bad product or can something be done to help? They are apparently already rooted out of the box. I installed a Root Check app that says it is rooted and has Busy Box (I don't know what that is yet, but I'm definitely willing to learn.)
I am slowly learning the terminology involved in rooting and ROM'S but I would really like a nice step by step situation. Does the fact that it is already rooted mean the bootloader is also already unlocked? Or not necessarily? Also I was looking for a recovery, but I couldn't find one for this specific tablet. Which one should I use?
Any information is greatly appreciated. I really don't want these tablets to go to waste if they can be tweaked.

[Completed] [Q] Amazon Fire phone: new to rooting, help needed and appreciated.

My boyfriend and I both got our Fires about a week ago. Last night he literally tried rooting his phone for 8 hours and when he thought he was finished, Google services never worked, and neither did half of the apps that he opened. So now... how does he fix his phone? And can anyone give me a few pointers about the basics of rooting? Maybe a guide that they found useful, because I know almost nothing about anything like this at all, and with my boyfriend not really in the mood to help me (he's the computer junky, not me) I don't know what to do.
My biggest question: is rooting this hunk of junk Amazon phone even worth any of the trouble? Ive heard that possibly rooting the Fire is useless because there is NOTHING to do after you root it.... well what can you do with a rooted Fire phone? Anything? I've never had a unlocked/rooted cell phone and my boyfriend was really excited about it. But last night, he spent all night trying to get root it, and nothing happened. The only difference is that now he has the downgrade software update AND Google still doesn't work. I don't believe Google will ever work for this type of device and to me completely honest, I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone, unless you want a free year of prime and free Amazon music that never works. Hooray
I just want to feel like I'm not wasting all my money. I am really disappointed in this phone so far. The fake 3D was cool for like an hour and I got home and discovered the horror of not having a Google play store. I have already accepted the fact that Google apps will probably never work on this phone, so if I go through all this for nothing, at least I'll still have a phone with five useless cameras and a self dying battery. I almost regret not buying an iPhone.

Hi,
