Things have been very quiet on the Revue front while the Sony GTV has recently seen some major breakthroughs. Have those most capable of finding a root exploit for Revue 3.1 (zenofex, Dan Rosenberg, others) given up and moved on to something else? If so, I don't blame them, but surely root is possible. I know that even with root there would be other problems such as read-only /system, but at least root would be a start. It may lead to the discovery of a way to at least unblock certain Flash sites, which is the main thing I and others want...

try using sd card to root like the nook just a thought

I think we all have given up. Its been out mad long now. Dan is responsible for many roots of devices that were, for the most part, unrootable. But he doesn't so much continue development from what I can tell. He just gives what's needed. The bootlader on this box is crazy. And the revue wasn't a big seller. We are lucky to have the gtvhacker guys. If it was gs3 hyped and seller, maybe there would be more of a push to unlock it.

Things were better with 3.1 userbebug. Flash sites being unblocked.

I'll be buying the first box the gtvhackers have full control over. Locked bootloaders are ruining my android experiences on my TV and my phone.

Edit: the sdcard method won't work. There is no sdcard really. The boot loader will brick if anything that isn't ment to be there isn't. Dan simply made it so you could put stuff there to try. Boot loader still stops anything from being permanent.
