Hello Everybody,

Android fully newbee here.

I've received my device few days ago (v. 2.3.4 from factory) and I am facing the Date&Time problem mentioned in some other places : after each reboot, the Data&Time is reset to "nothing", and it needs dozen of minutes to synchronize with Network clock. It wouldn't be a serious problem if not hindering the rooting thru Yareg's "Rooting" package (thanks Yareg for it!), as after the mandatory reboot, the update ends with an error linked to time (assert(!less_than_int(1323765653, getprop("ro.build.date.utc")))

Is there any possibility to "Root" the device without losing the time settings in the boot process? Or to stabilize the Date&Time?

Any help appreciated. thank in advance.

Edit : The issue is solved by Yareg's new "Update_root" package as posted on DX forums. Thanks!!

hi!
i bought it on the black friday deal. i got it and was pretty angry about the software.
a couple of days ago i updated it to 2.3.4 with the update that given by yareg - i think.
now i have a couple of problems:
1. i live in israel so i need and hebrew fonts - the problem is that the machine request that it will be rooted so the fonts could change.
2.another thing is that when i try to access the "play store" it says that i need to add an acccount when i press yes it drives me back to the previous scree with out the option to add an account.
thankx for any help.

could you please, help me. I have switched to some videmode (I'm not sure, but something, like 720p) and video out is disappeared. I have tried to reset+power - no effects. There are no video out neither av-out nor hdmi. But system is loading, because after few minutes after reset the link LED on ethernet is flashed. Is it possible to restore it? The Firmware 2.3.4 (flashed by dx shop)
I tried to update it with both packages (firmware and amlogic_boot):
1. Insert SD card (FAT16) with 6 files in the root
2. Power off (detach power plug)
3. Press Reset
4. Power On (reset still hold)
5. Release Reset
6. Wait 10 minutes

Nothing to happens. I still see a NO SIGNAL on TV
Does it means, that I have a brick?
