Dead Vizio Tablet

[rprr]

BPisMe and Joey2169 -- After root can you tell us what sort of things you did that required root? Did you do the internal/external SDCARD swap as discussed in this post?

The only things I did after rooting were Freezing the Vizio Update Service and installing an NTP client to keep correct time. I don't remember which program I used to freeze the update service but it was not Titanium Backup. BTW: I returned my vizio and will be getting a new one when I can find one in stock. (so much for patience!)

What is the advantages of rooting?
I understand what it would do to my stock nookcolor but why would I want to root my Vizio?
Thanks

Dang... I froze the vizio update service on mine (not using titanium - some other program someone suggested in another thread). Now when rebooting all I get is the recovery menu. Anyone have any luck unfreezing the vizio update service so the tablet will boot again?

Same here. I did not use Titanium Backup Pro but used some other app that was in the market and supposedly allowed freezing. Now I get the update screen only. I found some other ROM's. But they fail the signature check.

I put in a trouble ticket with Vizio to see if they'll send the update.zip file. Why do they not have this available for download like most other manufacturers?
