The San Diego hacking topic - root progress etc.

[Guest shootomanUK]

I must of twittered he 6 times now and he's blanking me

Hmm maybe he's stressed out and busy.

Might be time to flog our osd's :-/

[Guest rickywyatt]

At this rate ill swap mine for the moto atrix

[Guest scuzzbucket]

Sold mine this morning. Its the perfect phone at a good price for people who don't use/want root though. All I wanted was bloat gone and root access. Buying a Note tomorrow.

[Guest]

I have not seen paul green light on since he came back from holiday, it is on now, so hopefully we here from him. :D

[Guest rickywyatt]

@PaulOBrien

@rickywyatt1982 will post it up later tonight.

[Guest PaulOBrien]

I take it there's still hope then :D

[Guest]

There is always hope! Intel are not invincible.....,ok very close lol

[Guest rickywyatt]

lol i said i was sorry i thought you forgot about us :unsure:

[Guest vermat17]

Just a heads up, Orange has reduced the San Diego to £179.99 + £10 top up...

Looks like the locked bootloader, lack of root access and sim unlock is actually hurting sales, or that positive thinking on my part again??

[Guest PaulOBrien]

I've sent rickywyatt the key files from my collection! :)

The way thing's are going they will be buy one get two free soon lol

[Guest The Soup Thief]

It does kinda suggest it's not selling so well as they'd hoped at £200. Bearing in mind the performance is so strong I'd guess Intel and Orange will have to wonder why it's not flying off the shelves, even with the marketing push it's had.

Though phones are discounted pretty heavily soon after launch these days (cf Huawei g300), so perhaps it's just par for the course.

I wonder how the San Diego would be selling if it were from a proper brand? Someone like Samsung or Sony. Will have to wait to see if anyone gets interested in these x86 mobiles.

Hope this price drop is a response to the lack of enthusiasm for locked down devices though - might lead Intel to rethink their strategy in this area

[Guest vermat17]

Paul, did you end up selling your OSD, or have you held on to it???

Yeah.....the fact that it has gingerbread as stock kinda let it down aswell, plus lack of root and sim unlock...well what more can i say :-(

[Guest shootomanUK]

if we get ics and root then this device will take some beating....intel cpu's are renowned for overclocking so i reckon you could easily hit 2ghz+

even my sony ericcson wt19i does 2ghz from 1ghz stock lol

just dont think i can wait any longer for ics...getting fed up now :huh:

[Guest PaulOBrien]

Paul, did you end up selling your OSD, or have you held on to it???

I sold it in the end. That's not to say I wouldn't buy another if the 'situation' improves!

I'm still keeping in touch with my sources also in case something comes up. ;)

[Guest domenico lamberti]

did you brick one, then buy another?

[Guest rickywyatt]

I've flashed the dnx and ifwi from what Paul sent me but I need the fastboot command for the kboot.bin

Iv tried flash kboot, bootloader, rom, os,

[Guest rickywyatt]

Do you think it would be called hidden?

[Guest]

Did paul still have the bootloader?

Also, ricky I failed to get win7 booting from device, I did however get my digital camera to work as a bootable device and am running ubuntu lol

[Guest ikamil]

So, do we still have chance for boot/sim-unlock? My BACK key suddenly started to work, I just need sim unlock :)

[Guest brit07]

May sound stupid but has anyone tried using the update software to flash a rom by renaming it update.zip on the storage and select update via usb?

[Guest PaulOBrien]

One of my sources at Orange arranged a replacement.
