Hello
I have been reading this thread for a while ,and seen some of you have been able to root the toshoba folio using z4root or superoneclick .
I did without problems with superoneclick in the original toshiba folio froyo , but after the system factory updated I am not able to do it anymore neither with z4root nor with superoneclick .
Could anyone who has do it let me know how?
thanks in advance

I want to test the new Rom (FolioTNT) but I would like to get rid of all installed programs and data and folders on the Folio before I do this. What would be the safest way to do this ?

Factory Reset ? But where ? In that Toshiba Recovery or in the new Recovery from Dexter's FolioMOD ?

Anyone can explain ?

its part of Stock recovery as well.. just chose to open recovery with the keys explained in my mod, except dont put in the sdcard update.zip yet..

and press HOME and you see menu .. use power + vol+ + vol- to use menu.

Hi all,

I just got the new Toshiba Folio 100 Today. it's (i think) the most powerfull tablet at this moment with his Tegra dual core proc. My question is if it's possible to root that tablet in order to have androit market and install custom rom??

Thanks all for your response...

I just got myself an AC100 (more interested in the smartbook form factor than the tablet one). Since the AC100 basically is a Folio with pysical keyboard and no touch input, will it be possible to use the info given here also for the AC100?

basically, no. The tegra processor is the same, and maybe some of the other chips are the same, but the partition layout of the internal disk is completely different. I've not seen anyone do very much with android on it (and that is only 2.1 still), most of the dev effort there is in full linux ports, and understanding how the binary nvidia drivers can be used. Do not try and use any folio images on your ac100, you will only have to do a complete re-flash of the entire drive - including the scary parts. modaco has an ac100 section.

Hello everyone,
I'm now a new owner of old Folio 100 ;)
My first steps were to wipe this thing and flashing of latest Dexter's mod (1.4b) in my case. At first - big thanks for this ROM.Honestly i think Toshiba should hire such people like you - becasue to make such improvements being an external to development crew is an amazing achivement.

just some questions up to this sweet pair (Folio+mod):
At first : i've tested to far only Angry birds - but they didn't run at all. Black screen after start and it remains like this forever until its killed. Is this a common problem?

Second one : i'd like...heck...now its only one single possibility to use folio as entertaining device for my children - to use usb charger im my car (to activate CONFIG_TEGRA_USB_CHARGE ) - but I don't know where to start. Is it necessary to cook different rom for activation of this kernel option? Or it could be done in current mod?

Thx in advance.

Edit 1: After Reflashing to Tnt 0.4 Birds and co works properly.
Wifi - strange issues with it. Works very bad wth DLink Acces point (Very weak signal). With linksys Wifi acees point - doesnt work at all. Well i have sudden stable connect for 3 min but thats all for 2.5 hours of torturing and reading of those (Searching->Connecting->Disconnected :)). Same ROM at the same time works flawless wtih SpeedPort 500 (my old one). Are there some issues with linksys routers? Btw : my rest hardware didnt have problem with linksys at all. Even my i8910 works with it without problem.
