Retired - HardwareGuru Rom 03 - Firmware for Neo X7

[StanTek]

Very satisfied with ROM 03....But I have heard that ROM 04 is now in the cooking.....I still hope that it does not root the minix x7....

Not root your Minix? Why not? What is wrong with having full access to the device you've paid for? Having a non rooted device is like having a "User's" profile on a Windows OS. I'd rather be the Administrator, lol. I don't get why people pay hundred's of dollars for devices that they don't have full access to? Theses companies still get paid millions for giving people "User" access to their own devices.

I second and raise
Especially this device above all, it's broken without root. Are there any benefits to not rooting this device?

The benefit is rooting the device and choosing a kernel to use. Basically once the device is rooted you can customize it yourself or choose custom roms. The only problem with these roms, they are never tested fully before they are released. I wished these Dev's would let me test some of these roms before releasing them. Everybody seems like they are in a hurry to release a rom. IT SHOULD BE ABOUT QUALITY PERIOD.

Questions about updating x7 firmware via sd card method

Sd method works! It even kept al my settings and apps! I flashed from 009 , very nice

I also have windows 8.1. Can you explain to me what the sd card method is?

I have version 006, do I have to update to 006c, 008 and so on in order or can I jump straight from 006 to 009?

Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Download ROM to SD card unzip rename it to update.img reboot then you get a popup if you wish to update, voila
