[UPDATE: ROOTED] Hopefully spread some Thrive love

How many evo owners [myself not included] own a Thrive Tablet? It plays nicely with my Evo, and hopefuly if there is enough support, hopefully we can get a subforum for it here on XDA along with getting it rooted. Now I know it just came out, so I wasn't expecting anything, but here's hoping this being the path to get soething.

UPDATE:
The The Thrive has been rooted but guys at tablet roms and thrive forums [I did my own personal dabbling, nothing formal]. Since we don't have a sub forum here on XDA [yet] I'll post the link here for anyone that has one.
http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/t...ment/1399-full-working-rooted-thrive-now.html

How do you like the Thrive tablet so far? Im still using my ipad 1 but I want to invest in my first android tablet very soon; just dont know which one I want yet? I like the thrive, xoom, acer, and the lenovo but its such a hard decision!

Really? Havent heard that one yet but i really think i might settle for the 16gb xoom.

I REALLY LIKE THE THRIVE> chose it over the galaxy tab 10.1 cuz of the orts. It has the following FULL standard sized ports: HDMI, sd card [use adapter if using micro sd], and a USB port. standard 3mm headphone jack. Not going to lie, I have only had the sleep bug once, and had to hard reset it [hold power button]. But I love it. Its not that heavy [only @.3lbs heavier than galaxy tab], though a bit thicker [due tot he full ports] I really like the toshiba file manager, where you can see the internal, sd card, and usb memory all at once, the just tap between them to copy/move files. Also the removeable baery and cover also make it worth while.

Good look. Also, I'm on my thrive right now. I personally got the 32gb version. Only cuz I want the max storage availble. The hardware is the same across all version, so its not like the 32 has something over the 16, and it over the 8. So you could get the 8gb, get a 32gb sd card, then have 40gb of space...or use an external hard drve either way...its win-win-win.

Well I think that s only for the SDXC the super high class sd cards...for an actual external, I beieve it should work just fine. Mine is only 500gb, but reads it just fine, I only heard the limit is for the sd card.

Bump: OP updated to reflect root for the thrive.

User manual: WTF

Page 20 of the manual:
Just having a quick read through page 20 is a bit worrying
Insert a memory card (optional)
Your device accepts microSD™ or microSDHC™ memory
cards with maximum capacities of 32 GB (depending on the
memory card manufacturer and type).
Your device supports only the FAT file structure for
memory cards.
WTF
Thought it was supposed to support 64gb and Xfat????

It's most likely an error, since they have openly advertised that the phone will be supporting 64GB SDXC cards

Regardless, you can still make it a FAT32 and it will work. You will just have a 4GB limitation which I don't think people will be carrying files that large. But I'm sure it's a typo.
I've never been so excited about reading a user manual.

Ya so was I until i got to page 20 lol

I like the sound of page 30
You can use the motion unlock for
unlocking the screen. In the application
list, select Settings → Security → Screen
lock → Motion → OK. To unlock the
screen with the motion unlock, tap and
hold a point on the screen, and then tilt
the device forwards.

I hope it will work with 64gb, it's already ordered. Didn't the S2 manual say the same? 32gb+fat?

If I understand that bolded text correctly, this manual is from last December.

But the last page says:
English (EU). 05/2012. Rev. 1.0
But it's a definite typo. I think.
Shouldn't let the apprentice do the proof reading

Yeah most likely it's 5-11-2012. Those foreigners always putting the date in weird formats.

The ICS manual of the S2 reads just the same, word by word and we all know, 64gb sd cards work on the S2.
So I think there is no need to worry, isn't it?!

Also I recall there's really no difference other than it shouldn't assume max storage is 32GB which some software does.

Operation 32gb sd card!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883582
I remember seeing this back when I had the HD7. Thought it was interesting. So why not buy an 8GB and rip it open and replace the mem chip>?
I know you will have to be a man with an iron heart and nerves of steel to crack it open.
But I am sure someone will! May be...

Well i don't think that the nexus uses a SD card i think it uses something called Nand chip but i am not sure

I didn't know it was truly an SD chip in there. Even class 10 SD memory isn't all that fast.

If it does actually use a micro sd card, and it's actually accessible, that would be revolutionary news! No one would need the 16GB version

I don't think so.

Some manufacturer should make a case with a micro-usb to sd-card integrated on it.

I'm quite sure the device is using nand flash memory chip, would make no sense to include an internal SD Card.

If you look at this the user manual on the FCC website, there's a section about using a memory card. It's located at page 32 if you use Acrobat and page 33 of the guide. And page 33 or 34, it says "NOTE: The LG-E960 supports memory cards up to 64 GB."
There's no slot but they say how to mount/dismount SD card...

It's also missing pictures on those pages, so can't really tell if the manual is just not in line with the actual device.
Could be just an early adaptation from the Optimus G user guide.

First short teardown... unfortunately in German. It seems that the battery can be replaced very easily.

What does that mean in fool language? Could we upgrade this memory card and get more storage ? I saw that this metal plate is removable and we have access to this memory card.

Don't think, a person with normal soldering equipment will be able to change this without ruining the phone.

so that's why we don't have external sd card...
i suppose you can't really replace it.

Motorola being a Google company this is a bit of a contradictory move.
Google haven't allowed SD cards in their Nexus devices for a while now because of worries related to failures, slower read and write etc, but here they are using an SD card as the main memory of one of their devices?
Just start building nexus devices with SD card slots again Google and stop this ridiculous apple like behavior.

I wonder if there's any phone with this kind of memory setup. I mean eMMC instead of regular nand? Is it a regular speed / high speed eMMC?

I don't think this matters that much. Found an interesting article here, don't miss page 2 of this document:

Google is a smart company that always find nice PR justifications for what they want to do. The truth is that they won't allow SD cards because they want you use their cloud and / or pay for the extra storage.

Death Of a SDcard

Hello there,
My Sd Card Recently unmounted unsafely through boot.
I was using the rom Omega v25, SD was damaged.
Is there any solution to fixing it?
I had tried formatting it but there is no media to format.
Any help would be appreciated.
I can not see it in recovery totally invisible, Ive tried mounting it through Phone settings and it will not mount.
Can not mount it through recovery either.
It does not show up in Partition Wizard for me to change the format.
I Have attached a Image for what it shows in disk management.
