Amazon has made the R1 HD unavailable - BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers

Amazon has made the R1 HD unavailable. They are exclusively listing the R1 Plus now. Can this be confirmed?

Yes, because there's still a rootkit on the R1 HD and apparently BLU won't fix it on "older" devices like this, so Amazon suspended sales.

Now that Spitzer is Governor, he leaves these matters to the current State Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo. He's even more aggressive then Spitzer.
http://www.oag.state.ny.us/
EDIT: Here's an example of what Cuomo's done against Dell: http://www.nyagdell.com/
This guy is a fighter and will go to bat against companies that don't honor their promises with consumers.

And because Cuomo is a person of the State, his office would take this issue up Pro Bono. The Attorney General for a state serves to fight for the rights of their citizens. What happens for residents of New York State will in turn benefit all of us.
This is an All Points Bulletin to ANYONE that is a resident of New York State to contact Attorney General Cuomo.

Nexus 4 product updates

i found a free site that sends you an update via email or text (iphone) when the status of the Nexus 4 changes. It also works for many other products.

You won't be getting any junk mail. :angel:
My signature would identify me as representing whohas.it, but I'll need 7 more posts before I can set that up.
Sign up information isn't shared, sold, etc. Yes, lots of sites/services say that, only some mean it. We're in the latter camp.
We haven't even sent out any housekeeping emails at this point, and likely won't until the Android mobile app is ready (soon hopefully).
And to other questions on the thread about whether whohas.it is monitoring the US play store only, the answer is yes. We have plans to add international versions of our service in the future, but we're not there yet. First quarter of 2013 is the current target, but that is by no means carved in stone.
I'm happy to answer any other questions if there are any.

You will be hard pressed to locate a rootable 5th gen Fire. Your best best is a 3rd (not 4th) gen HDX. 2nd gen devices are also rootable but they are rather slow relative to today's standards.

Nope - haven't spoon fed since our youngest figured out the basics. Rooting Amazon devices is not for the faint of heart. Research is your friend.

Lol. Actually did the support community a favor as you'd be back for the next spoonful in no time. As previously mentioned 3rd gen HDX is your best bet if you want a rootable Amazon gizmo. Everything else is hit/miss or based on dated tech. The dead speaks.

Good news, the bootloader is unlockable, but

Please do not post any questions about "how to unlock" in this thread. Please create a new thread instead.
palmdude said:
how much does it cost? Apparently you need to purchase a pack of 30 "setool2 credits". The price for that is $90 USD.
https://support.setool.net/showthre...Y-SETOOL-AND-SETOOL-CREDITS-LIST-OF-RESELLERS
But the unlocking process only requires 2 credits ...
I am interested to buy a "3-pack". Is it possible to purchase smaller packs?

It's the setool website, but the tool itself is called Ntool which is developed by the_laser, who gave out the 100 free unlocks for testing pruposes.

This thread was meant for users that are familiar with the unlock process. In short to unlock the phone you need to use the ntool, but during the unlock process this tool charges "2 setool2 credits", which is roughly $6 USD .
That price it is acceptable, and I am trying to find a way to purchase those credits. However, I can find only packs with 30 credits (roughly $90). But I was (am) hoping somebody found a way to purchase those credits in smaller quantities ("3-pack").
But I am already giving up hope, and thinking about buying an unlockable Moto phone instead (thinking about getting the z3 play).
You can get it unlocked for 5$ like I did.

It's not. Unlocking process is still under confirmation process for our device. I haven't seen anyone who did this.
Also, author of TWRP topic clearly writes that this isn't confirmed to work and further discussion in that topic shows that even more.

So Ireland update is delayed too? Rebranding doesn't needs bootloader unlocked does it? At least not for most other brand phones, still stock firmware etc just flash to handset sold in different regions shouldn't be an issue other than a few that uses different bands

So it's gone 2am on "release day" in China. You'd think they would push the update around 8-9am?

Hi!
I found something interesting on China Huawei Club forum:
https://club.huawei.com/thread-17736096-1-1.html
... by Google trnanslator:
First, the version push time
1, November 6th: Pushed to users who have successfully registered for internal testing
2, November 8: Push to users on version 9.0.1.20
3, November 10: Member service registration is open to all, support 8.1.1.175 (P20) / 8.1.0.176 (P20 Pro) version upgrade to 9.0.0.125 version.
Tips:
1. Please upgrade the “Member Service” APP to the latest version 8.0.2.811 before the member service registration upgrade.
2. After the membership service registration is open, there is no limit to the number of registrations and time. You can apply for early adopters at any time. It is recommended to apply for the peak period.
3. Due to the large number of upgraded early adopters, there may be a delay in network data transmission. After the member service registration application prompts successfully, the system will push according to the order of registration and the network status. If you have not received the version yet, please don't worry. It is recommended to wait patiently for the peak period and then review the update in Settings > System > System Update.
