[/QUOTE]No offence, but I'll go through the basics just in case you are missing something.

Do you have android super user icon when you go into apps? If you do then it is rooted.

Have you plugged in a bluetooth dongle? Might seem a silly question but I thought bluetooth would be internal initially and didn't realise you needed one. Bluetooth dongle neds to be compatible. See my post here for some that are readily available http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=828

Try an app like quick bluetooth or similar to check whether you can turn bluetooth on.

Then, as mentioned earlier make sure the dongle is plugged in before turning the unit on. Also, try it directly plugged into the rear USB cable, not with a hub.

I don't have any super user icon so I guess the root failed. I copied the file to a blank sd card, ran the update on startup, and it said success in like one second. then I ran MCU update, clicked ok. nothing happened that I could see. I installed a bluetooth widget that takes you right to the bt settings. I click "turn bluetooth on" and it just flashes once quick. Yes, the bluetooth dongle was in the rear cable at startup.

I guess I'll just have to keep using torque on my Android smartphone for my trip to VA tomorrow
