Hi! Hope everybody is having a nice Thanksgiving (slowly transitioning to Black Friday).
I brought a piece of great news, Kindle Fire HD 8.9" (and HD 7", but I don't have a device to test) locked bootloader bug has been fixed.
All hail to sloppy programmers (as if there were any other kinds, right?)
Thanks to: fattire for noticing a bit of unverified user input, Hashcode for doing some prototype testing on other Kindle devices before we got our hands on actual Kindle HD and a bit of source code.
Great news! Looking forward this being finalized...
I'm getting excited.

Excellent work guys!
Looking forward to development opening up with the bootloader cracked! Great news and good work.

I bought this bad boy (8.9) one week ago. Rooted, added GApps with Nova and was crossing my fingers on this happening.
Great news indeed!
Thanks, great guys!
YAY!!! I was SO waiting for this.
Do you have something I can test in the KindleFire 2nd Gen?

Just as fattire highlighted in this other thread, there's an unchecked length parameter in boot image, so you just make it really long and overwrite the stack of the bootloader, allowing you to transfer control to your code (another copy of uboot in my case).
It seems there are a lot of misunderstandings about how these bootloader fixes work, so we are preparing a document laying it in some more details. It currently only covers Nook Tablet (of Bauwks fame) and just needs to be expanded a bit.
any word on if this will cover the kf2 the non hd one? I can't wait to get my hands on mine in a couple days. But I like the look and feel of cm10. ( I have the latest nightly on my sgs3. ) also, is there any word on actually unlocking the bootloader?

I think there's quite some distance to cover between "Bootloader cracked" and "CyanogenMod 10 running". CM really only works with source code, and I really can't see Amazon releasing all their source.

There is some distance to cover, it's true. But much of that has been covered. CM10 is already running, albeit w/o sound for the moment. And speaking generally, the source for CM10 is available.
Also, it may be wiser in general to get a Nexus 7 or Nexus 10 or something similar if simply to support the hardware manufacturers who make it very easy for you to unlock to install your own operating system.

Sounds reassuring that CM 10 is already up & running.
Yes, I'm aware of that CM sources are available - but it was Amazons source code I was referring to. I doubt they (Amazon) will release drivers & cetera to facilitate the creation of third party ROMs.

Which Device has CM10 on it running? KF2, 7"HD or 8.9" HD? and will it be available for all 3 devices?
I am looking forward to this putting some new life in my KindleFire2.

Big happenings recently in the Touchpad realm. Touchdroid, one of the groups who was developing Android for the HP Touchpad, has decided to release a dump of their build, along with instructions on how to install it. I have recorded my own installation in hopes that others might benefit from it.
Two things:
1. Please follow the steps listed here http://touch-droid.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2
2. Be aware that this is not the Cyanogenmod version, and there are a few items that are not quite working yet.
Here is the link to the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhWVmMYquYY
Happy Flashing!
Now, the usual disclaimer: If this bricks your Touchpad.... bummer, dude.
Also, I am aware that an amazing build will eventually be released from Cyanogen. I am excited about this. The touchdroid build is just to tinker with.
:::UPDATE:::
If you want to uninstall this, here is a video explaining how:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKRp3ldtAjU
agreed. Even if their devteam is knowledgeable I will not install their port because of the logs I've read.
Craig
This is the beginning of it all...^^ Android is damn near now... thx!
Please keep in mind that this build is incomplete and buggy. That being the case, this is only recommended to those that care less about the source (we already know all about that) and more about tinkering with it. Use it if you like, but keep the arguments out. Thanks.
Interesting, although its VERY incomplete. I can only surmise that this is a "just to get it out there" kind of thing.

The comments on the video are already entertaining.
People, if you don't have any idea what this is, where it comes from, or why it's being posted..... DON'T INSTALL IT!!!!
If some idiot (me ) puts a video on the intertubes, it does NOT mean that you need to follow it. Watch it, learn from it, but if you don't like the outcome.....DON'T INSTALL IT!!!!!
Also, I total get why people bail from giving even the smallest amount of help to others. Nobody asked me to do this video, I just saw a need for it and made it. And... I'll do it again once cyanogen's stuff comes out for it.
Haters gonna hate, I guess.

How did you go back to previous screen without back button?
Also does anyone know if once the CM version is released the flashing process might be a little easier for the average user? I am not too comfortable with entering commands everywhere. reverend made it look easy because he was obviously familiar with entering command prompts. Either way I will be attempting it, just thought I would ask.

CM's release will be soon enough and will be fool proof. Unless you're reasonably familiar with the Linux terminal and ADB you're probably better off waiting. There's not much properly working on this version. You'll install it, play for ten minutes and them have to go back to waiting for a proper release. This is pre-alpha.

you can see he shot over adb commands
after have following the drama, around the stolen/lost code, I really think people should stop there personal [mod edit], and focus on getting android to the tp. As I see it this, android dump, is touchdrods way of saing: We [mod edit] up, and we are sorry. I also understand that they are stopping the project. So lets all stop the flaming, and wait for the CM, or another teams build! Just my 5 cents
Whats the point of tinkering with the Touchdroid build when the team has disbanded. I would stay away from this build since the CyanogenMod seems to be way ahead of the Touchdroid team anyways.

issent the point, that other teams can see touchdrods build, and use what they can from it. Like small twinks and stuff like that.

My limited knowledge of Paranoid Android leads me to ask - why do you want it on the Tf?
Isn't it designed to give a tablet like experience on phones?
As well made as it is, I wasn't overly keen on the whole tiny u.i on my sgs2.
Otherwise I'm not sure what we would be missing out on.

Yes - dock is supported... Well, at least it was working for me last night... Don't have a large SD card to test on it, but it should work (as i'm using the same device tree as others)...
As stated earlier, this is my first proper build (running a CM10 build on my phone, not released though). It would be nice to get others to help, at the moment, ADB doesn't work, everything I have tested is working, including Paranoid Settings... None of my builds seems to have ADB, so i do need to look into that!
As there seems to be enough interest, I think I will open a thread later - will link to it here though so you can all see it!

I agree, just check the forum every day for any news about it. Dont make your own thread requesting the ROM.
I've actually been working on this... I just have to say cm10.1 NOT READY for KF yet hopefully the amazing Hashcode will brew up a new 3.4 kernel he's been talking about alongside with CM10.1
Be patient. With each new version come challenges for the devs. Many of whom are still working through issues with 4.1. The great devs here will get it out when they can and when they provide a ROM that is up to their high standards.

I'm kind of amazed they pointed to XDA (or that their customer support was even aware of it). I guess I have to give them some respect for acknowledging that if nothing else. But I wish they would stop with the messing around and just say "never" if they are not going to do it. As long as they keep up with the "at this time" stuff it just holds back all of those of us who are reluctant to move from stock from getting on with it.
Don't tell me you guys actually think this is real, and ASUS is sending people to XDA to download JB ROMS. lol

I've tried most of them and EOS4 is the only one that's stable enough for me to use, and it works very well. With others (including rayman's) I have random reboots, freezes, lag, etc. I suspect performance/stability issues might have something to do with the exact model you own.

I just think EOS is kept more up to date than Rayman's. Rayman publishes several ROM and sometimes he will left some of them without further update. Besides almost every Rayman ROM I have tried suffers from Wifi weak signal.
Anyway all of this is just based on my TF and personal feeling. You should try and pick the best one for you / your HW.
I also prefer EOS3 to EOS4. JB 4.2.1 (not EOS4, any JB 4.2.1 implementation) has some app incompatibility (not available on Play Store) that I don't like. And I find JB 4.1 snappier than 4.2.1. I have to oc my TF on 4.2.1 to get the same performance I get in 4.1 with stock clock speeds.

Not really the same thing now, is it?? It's not their device that could get bricked.
I'm not surprised that ASUS sent them here. I had a friend call ASUS the other day about a TF101. We were trying to find the SN (which is impossible to do if the tablet doesn't boot and sticker is gone). The first tech said open the unit and here's how to do it (they sent a video). The next tech an hour later said we can't help you, you voided the warranty by opening it. It took a few persistent phone calls but the unit is being replaced under warranty. Over all, their tech support is pretty in touch. Just my experience.
I'm gonna try to port the tf300t stock ROM to the tf101 when i have time ..

So far it seems to only be available for the Nexus tablets.
Given the somewhat weak ROM support for the TF101 I'm not really going to dare hoping for anything.
Right now we barely have a CM10.1 port going, which for most devices is taken for granted.
So yeah.

They've released a statement that if there's a CM 10 release for your device, you can port Ubuntu Touch to it. As far as I know, there is no stable build of CM 10 for the TF101, but there are some unoffical ports. If we could get the guys working on the unofficial ports to look at porting Ubuntu Touch over, we might get it.
