[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] Trying to find my phone and how to root it etc

Hi there guys im completely new to this, as only the other day my father told me about rooting my phone and upgrading the software as only now the software on my phone has started to fail me and I think its time for a change.
On the phone its model number is the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9003 so I'm not entirely sure which phone to choose on the Samsung Android devices on the forums, also I was told there was a noob guide on here on how to root the phone and then being able to upgrade it.
I apologize if I have posted in the wrong area, but any help would be extremely grateful, as my phone keeps switching itself off everything keeps crashing and basically its just acting like a piece of crap.
Thanks again

can't get rid of demo app, please help!

Hi , im new here and really need some advice.
I purchased a Z3 this week and bought it second hand , even though it is new but without box. I found out it has the dreaded demo app installed because i think it was ex-display in a phone shop. Once i plug in the charge it deletes my photos,contacts,apps etc. and comes up with the demo video. Iv'e tried the codes people usually use and done something else using the computer someone suggested ,but nothing works. I was thinking about rooting the phone but after looking on forums i can't seem to find anything to explain how to root it or even if it's possible yet because its a new phone. Iv'e tried to delete the app it has but it just keeps coming back. So need to find someone way that is like rooting the phone to get access to delete it permanently. If anyone can help , would be much appreciated. Thanks:good:

I Want To Know

Hello,
My name is Alejandro Espino but I go by Sam. I want to know more about android. I want to know as much as my own brain is capable of knowing/understanding. If anyone is willing to collaborate with me, I would be very grateful. I'm a senior in high school and I love fixing stuff. I have bricked only one device, and cannot figure out how to fix it. I own a samsung sm-t217a (samsung galaxy tab 3 att lte) but i messed with the build prop file and basically destroyed it (the tablet still boots up and powers on, i messed with the build name, model numbers, etc. and when i rebooted, the root was said to be installed wrong). As of now, I am using my younger brothers Samsung Vibrant which I rooted and installed a custom lollipop rom with the aid of my friend that taught me a few things about how do mess with android. I got way off topic, sorry. But if anyone is willing to collab, please message me via email([email protected]) or kik(sammyes1998) thank you.
You are at the right place, learn and help others,
