Hey everyone. I finally managed to get stepdaughter's tablet going. It was quite the challenge getting past the boot loop, but after that it was not too bad.
Conquering the boot loop required building my own USB to USB (male to male) cable, downloading some software, and pressing and releasing the power and back buttons in the right sequence with pretty exact timing. And yes both the power and back buttons are physical buttons.
I tried a honeycomb ROM but it was kinda laggy. Once I reverted back to stock (2.2 skinned) it was pretty nice
Lost all the apps and data but considering I thought it was a lost cause from the start, I'm pretty happy I got it going
So that was a good chunk of my day. But she's happy and that's important. Hows everyone doing tonight?
