[XOOM 2] Xoom 2 Media Edition

Hi,
So i have a xoom 2 media edition (uk version) .. cant seem to find much out about rooting/unlocking the bootloader.
does anyone know the status on this ?
sorry to post here, but doesnt seem to be a xoom 2 section yet

me too
got myself one too.
MODs, please create XOOM2/ME forum, especially because Xoom2 and Xoom2ME is based on different chipset (non-tegra, and none of the Xoom1 tricks works on it)
For now, the tablet's bootloader is non-unlockable, all root exploits i have found fail.
I suspect after (if at all) the bootloader is unlocked, some of the Galaxy Nexus tricks will work.
On topic, this tablet urgently needs root because motorola in its [motocast promotion] ingenuity locked firewall ports 80,8080,21 etc. on the tablet... so no FileXpert web/ftp sharing, no samba, no way to access files directly.

got one too
Yeah got one today as well and interest a custom ROM as well also quick question to ask, can you add micro sd card and if yes how? and when using Swype is anybody experience very bad lag?

No sd card slot on xoom 2 - although the cover is there

Cheers zonyx I thought that but on the instructions inside the box it tells.you to take out the placholders and put a sd card in but 16GB should be fine

yeah, i read the same - even the sim card slot is there also.
its a bit of a downer though that motorola couldnt even be bothered to just completely seal the case

Agree with zeer, could a mod create a sub section for xoom 2 and xoom 2 me?
Maybe one is enough as they both seems to have same hardware.

Who do with need to contact to get a new sub catagory
I believe the ME and Xoom 2 are the same hardware just different screen sizes
If anyone needs any system info etc... I can put my ME up for testing

I agree. IMHO Xoom 2 ME is the best android tablet available that money can buy (i.e. not including Transformer Prime) but pre-installed software sucks. I have no idea how motorola have managed to decrease the performance by so much but root and CM9 would make this pieace of hardware what it should have been by delivery

xoom2 forum plz ... The tablet is very good .great size (the reason i bought it ) great screen , very good built quality , speakers and camera . Needs update to ics and root access .. The price in europe is good if you compare it with other tegra 2 devices but in few months ti omap processor will be outdated ...

I took my xoom 2 me back, it suffered from awful lag on the browser and WiFi kept disconnecting, maybe a bad build but didn't want to risk it with another maybe ics will solve these but got the HTC flyer for half the price and its a lot better and more responsive with GB on as well
But on a positive I agree the sound quality is very good

Hello i just bought my xoom2 from uk

Hello,
I`m new to the Forum, but a reader since a little while.
I have bought a Xoom 2 Media Edition too from UK, and can only say I like it pretty much sofar.
Hope that ICS 4.0 will come soon.
Is there any knowledge at all if a root hack might be possible and when ?
Many thanks for any kind of input or links at all.
Have been googling around for hours but didn't find anything usable...
EDIT: The Fact of the lacking Storage is really annoying (no USB or SD) but that Motorola blocked the Ports mentioned really sucks. I will contact the Motorola Support for this, after failing to make a ftp connection work for hours ....
Cheers & Greetings

Hi,
I have some blinking texts (and also small blinking squares) sometimes in the market for example.
Entering text in the browser (like what I'm currently doing on xda) is very laggy (with default keyboard and default browser) every striked key takes a little time to display.
Also, the green pointer used to move the cursor and the cursor himself are not well aligned.
Do you also have these issues?

moderators can you create a xoom2 forum please we need it .....

I do notice a little lag from keyboard... I dont use mouse on mine at the moment.
Swiftkey is bit better...
ive put a post on the suggestion thread about a xoom 2 sub forum.

Hi,
I've made a video of freezes I have in fruit ninja (it's only an example, I have the same thing in other games, and many other problems previously described here).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xi8_oKDp3Q (look for example at 0:12, 0:18, 0:29, 0:43, 0:46, ...)
before making this video I have hard reseted my tablet and the only app installed after the reset was fruit ninja.
do you have the same behaviour or mine is defective?

Hello, my friends.
I bought xoom 2 ME also.
1. USB host does not work.
2. no sd card
3. I have light spots on border on dark background
4. 16 hours in standby mode (wifi- off, all applications were closed)
Have you any suggestions?

1. I haven't tried yet, I'll test as soon as I receive my cable
2. like every xoom2 ME
3. I also see these light spots on black screens, it seems like it's normal.
4. You surely have a running app eating your cpu/battery, look in battery usage if you see something, I do not have this problem.

A700 Crazy idea?

Hi all this is going to be abit of an odd question but the other day i was window shopping and found the A700 really liked what i saw but then i started to think.
I know that can flash backtrack on to my Galaxy S phone but....(heres the Question)
Can i flash backtrack5 on to a, A700?
If so how?
If not would any Android Tab be able to, if so which one?
Also would any if not the A700 run a Windows OS ?
like the title say's Crazy!! But if any one has any info it would be very greatful.

There's a complete Linux installer on the market, and here on xda(complete Linux installer). It has ubuntu, backtrack plus more. I can verify it works.

Thanks buddy! I have also been looking into both the Galaxy Tab 2 7"/10.1"
any thoughts from any one are still welcome and helpfull.

A 7inch is more portable if you're concerned about that or if you travel a lot. 10.1 gives you all the screen you can handle plus a little extra.
It's really about personal preference.

I was fully into that nexus 7 thing. I was definitely like: I have to buy one!
But then I've got my hands on another 7" tablet in a store and was like: What the heck is this? 7" is sooo small.....
So now I've got the A700 and I'm glad that I've got it

Well i gave up on teh 7" it is abit small so instead i ordered myself the A700 and should be getting here Tuesday (cant wait).
So now come's step 2 of my crazy idea i now have 10.1 32GB Android tab on the way now then .......?
Time to work out how to get backtrack5 running on it and also see if i can get windows 7 maybe ......?
So any ideas or what not maybe a link that might help would be AWESOME!!!
Thanks again :fingers-crossed:

Whoa whoa whoa. Wait. Hold on a sec. Backtrack? THE Backtrack? As in the security tool suite? On the A700?!
I MUST HAVE THIS. I was just about to give using my A700 but if I can use it for my work, I am so there!
Great, there goes my free time for the next week...

[Q] April 2013 Nextbook 8 SE with Amlogic Meson 6 and Jellybean

Hi,
I just acquired a Nextbook 8 SE with a manufacturing date of April 2013. It has Jellybean installed, HDMI out, and also Google Play.
There have apparently been several iterations of hardware under this same model number missing some or all of the above.
Nothing I have tried has been successful at rooting this device, including the Italian Fix, all the stuff here and at FreakTab, or Crystal Root which is the only thing I've found here that specifically calls out this processor and OS mix.
Yifang or whoever actually made this unit is doing something interesting with the signing keys, because pretty much anything I've tried via <3e> has failed verification.
I know that since this unit is only a month old and not popular that there probably hasn't been a lot of interest or work done on it, but I'd really like to root it in order to get rid of some things and change some other things.
Thanks in advance!

I'm with you on rooting this thing, i have scoured the internet for days trying to find information on rooting this device. I have the Nextbook Premium 8HD sells for 99 dollars USD at walmart. the chinese workaround doesnt work this devices either. *Edit* Also it has the AML8276-M6 chip and like i said earlier NOTHING in the same tablet family with the same chipset works for root with this device.

We're going to have to go back to Walmart and buy some of these as gifts to hand around to the cool kids here in the hopes one of them breaks into it.

packaging was misleading as well, I read the barcode at walmart and it said "Google Play nextbook" and noticed the likewise of the Nexus font on the packaging. It wasn't until i got it home and inspected the box just to find the "efun" logo discreetly on the side. I am still very impressed with the packaging though, for 99 dollars the quality of the packaging was very good. The LCD screen is something that is less desirable but its not the kind of screen i would expect to have like my galaxy Tab 10.1. Overall i am happy with it but i still need root to hide its manufacture id on google play. I am unable to download most of my apps as they keep saying they are not supported.

Here ya go
I performed this process today and can confirm it works on Nextbook 8 HD. This not for Nextbook 7 or 8 SE/Premium or any other Nextbooks...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2366829

Hi,
I have also the Nextbook Premium 8SE bought last year and have ICS installed. It's not that good as expected. I asked at Nextbook support they told me that JB is not in plans for Premium 8SE.
I've tried to get those 4.1.1 custom roms, but I cannot even install the drivers, the tablet won't even connect in flash mode with UP+DOWN buttons pressed while plugging the usb cable.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

How to root Nextbook Premium SE
Hey! I have a Next book Premium SE. I tried everything to root this crazy thing, and finally I was able to do so with a free application called kingo android root and a Windows computer. It wasn't listed in their supported devices, but it worked. You can Google it for more info. It only took about 5 minutes after I found that application. Now I am working on finding a successful ROM for this obscure tablet.

[Q] RCA 7" Android Tablet 4.1.1 root/rom/forum?

I bought an RCA 7" tablet as a manager's substitute for a Xelio which was out of stock at WalMart. Hey, $39 seems like a pretty good deal.
However, there is no mention of this device ANYWHERE, not on the WalMart website... apparently, not even the great Oracle Google has heard of this device. There are some obscure references to google play support. It is NOT the new RCA TV Tablet or the stereo one.
From the device:
1GHz processor
built in 4GB memory
WiFi b/g/n
Google Play Store
0.3 mp forward facing camera (woo hoo)
micro sd support up to 32G
Model number RCT6077W2
Android version 4.1.1 Jellybean
Kernel version 3.0.36+
[email protected]#129
Build number RCT6077W2-Android4.1.1-v1.0.1
I would love to figure out what else is hiding under the hood on this device.
Need help unlocking/tweaking. Not sure if I'm in the correct forum.
I AM A NOOB! First step is admission...

to find out about a little more under the hood you should take a look at CF Bench it will tell ya its secerts. as for tweaking im 99% sure that nobody will develop things for it. 40 bucks for a tablet has to have terrible specs, the best you can do is try to root it. try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 good luck mate

Thanks T'zul. Actually the tablet was $80 but I got it for $39 cuz the discontinued Xelio promised was out of stock when I got to Walmart.
I have not been able to locate drivers BECAUSE the tablet is only being released officially next week so I haven't been able to connect for root only to transfer music/photo files.
Yeah, I know that the specs (I listed them above in first post) are lower end but I thought it would be a good toy to learn on/destroy if I wasn't careful.

im sure if you root it you can most likely overclock it and stuff, cheap android tablets like these are always good to start on before you get the big boys that only last a year and then they are outdated. as for the drivers you can try adb and install the android drivers.

rooting help.

Microphone on RCA 7" rct6378w2 Issue
Sorry to change the subject a bit but I am in the correct company, since I have the same tablet bought from Walmart last Black Friday $49. I find the microphone performance very bad. A screeching sound (like feedback) and extremetly low volume on recording using voice recorder or Skype (echo test). Has anyone come accross this issue and got a suggested fix? The tablet is not going to be very functional for video conferencing with this issue. I though i would ask the forum before returning it.
Thanks
Ashok

Please provide organized instructions for completely exploiting the RCA tablets
Hi I am new here, I got this tablet for christmas and this forum has helped me so much already, because of you wonderful people I have successfully rooted. However after continuing reading I am a little confused on what exactly to do now, can someone please go over unlocking the bootloader, getting clockworkmod recovery or whatever else I need, flashing cyanogenmod for the RCA tablet and any other steps I might not know of? How can I help and where are we all in completely exploiting the RCA tablets? (RCT6077W2 in specific for me) can I get regular drivers instead of that annoying pdanet? would it be possible to flash other ROM's like AOKP and paranoid android or would those lack in support? what do I have to do w/ the android sdk? what apps, launchers,root apps and exploits do you recommend with this device? how can we overclock and make the best out of this crappy device? any tips,cracks,modifications that make this device better? etc. I know it is a lot of questions but any awnsers and help is really appreciated and It would also be really nice if someone made a nice n00b friendly guide on what to do after rooting.

This absolutely a really good questions. As many people bought the 4 or 8GB versions with plans to expand to external SD card; I hope the moderators / seasoned android pros of this forum can provide a detailed explanation how to accomplish this task. Thanks in advance to all that offer some suggestions / solutions towards the SD card front.

I also thank you for the rooting steps. How can I now upgrade the jelly bean from 4.2.2 to 4.3? I have the same model tablet.

My Only Hope.
I thank you for your response, Jeffrie.* But unfortumately, it did not contain any new information for me.* I am beyond a factory reset. Wiping the data and dalvik cache was actually what killed the tablet after I had actually revived it by flashing the RCT6378W2 firmware to the RCT6077W2 tablet. And I only did that because after days of searching, the internet, the RCT6378W2 firmware was the only RCA tablet firmware to be found.* And at first it seemed like it might work, the only obvious issue was the tablet couldn't tell which way was down.* That was doable.* However after a reboot, the wireless functionality stopped completely.* Wireless couldn't even be switched on.* I could send you numerous links to numerous forums where there are several other consumers with the same issue. And as it stands most of those people feel ripped off and very skidish about purchasing any more RCA products.* I am confident, from the way the 8GB tablets firmware helped bring the 4GB one back from the dead,* that the actual RCT6077w2 4GB tablets original firmware ( 1.0.0) would revive several of your tablets as well as the customers satisfaction and faith in your company. And once they were up and connected to the internet, they wouldt be able to update using your OTA server. Word of your companies actually giving a damn and level of support would surely boost sales as well as bring former customers back.

I know how
I rooted my very own RCT6077W2 (same specs and everything) and got it from Wal-Mart. I know how. Download 4Shared from Play Store, create/login to an account, search up "master root", then click the first one and download it. Install it, then open. I know its in a diff language but click the middle button and then when the screen pops up with the buttons, press the one that is not red. Then again. Once the boxes are away, reboot your device and it is rooted. Congratz, you now have root access.

Can anyone give advice on what stylus they're successfully using with this device? I'm a lefty with less than stellar handwriting, but the stylus seems terrible regardless. I would love to use this as a tablet to take notes and, in a perfect world, turn them into text. Any stylus that is compatible, I'd be willing to try if it gave me a shot at doing that.
OR- Maybe just helping me know what type of digitizer is used in the tablet so I can better shop for a stylus?

Anyone else facing laggy experience in windows 10?? eg when pressing chrome to execute, it takes almost 10 seconds for it to get ready.. Or when double taping an exe, almost 10 seconds to even start executing.. Any ideas??

My Chuwi is Hi10 Pro HQ64G42170302xxx. After flashing rom CM12, camera doesn't work. I flash stock rom again, but this problem isn't resolved.

Hi all, I have the HI 10 pro, can iOS be installed on this tablet maybe instead of Windows or android? Thanks

I have been using the Hi10 Pro / HiPen H2 Active Stylus Pen. I bought it when I bought the tablet because they still arguing that Hi 10 Pro is compatible with active stylus but in fact it worked like a ****. In Android I am using INKredible app but stylus work pretty bad and in Windows I download an app specifically for stylus and the stylus still not work properly when I try to write. It only work to swipe down and up and recognizes touching buttons too.
So I think that this tablet don't have real compatibility with an active stylus pen. It quite sad but it's the truth.

I modified my Chuwi Hi10 (HQ64), removed Android and installed Windows 10 only. Everything works but battery doesn't last long and lags badly. I assume if I change os to a custom android rom would eliminate both issues. Can anyone confirm? If so, which custom rom and how? Tha KS in advance.
