Karoo User Forums

Nicely done, OP.

Keep up the good work.

Now that the arrogant 800 lb gorilla canceled its Di2 license with HH, here's a callout to the developers on this forum to develop a workaround, if possible. Yes, we could stop accepting updates, but that won't last long for most of us. I'm thinking there may be a few software developers with a cert...

Selling Tee shirts? Burning through VC funds? Does it have enough? No hardware sales in 4 months? I know it got caught sideways by the coronavirus...is there a "but" which should go after this, as in "it had no contingency plan?" I've seen no pre-announcements since its pre-pre-t...

Totally agree, brother. (He usually mentions a disclaimer however.)

HH's overreach has been going on for 10 months now. With every update that fixes/introduces something, another otherwise-working item breaks. It's a recurring pattern. At what point do you conclude its development team is not up to the task, and more importantly, may never be? Some of you know that ...

I hate to pee on this parade, but I have to bring up Hammehead's history of releasing new features which are wonky. The next one is ambitious and if it works, bravi, if it's not buttoned up, we'll still be mired in unhappy beta-land. For those of you who want all the features that have been promised...

Seems to me management is transitioning to reality, warts and all and it's a mighty struggle. I. too, am not happy with long term goals that should be much sooner and with non-defined time schedules. I understand its need not to be boxed in just to disappoint us with...nothing...but it's the price i...

John, I was able to root the Karoo using jahazelwd's method. Knowing your background, if I can you can.

Knock me over with a feather: after months of heavy criticism management has finally corrected its landing web page to reflect what's now available on the Karoo by adding the following sentence: "The visualizations you see here are either on the device currently, or coming soon." For me th...

Thanks Doug, as always, for the heads-up.

John, pray tell, what prompts your optimism that Di2 is nigh?

I, as the resident curmudgeon, opine that the new stuff in v270 are really fixes to what should be, not "new" features. I'm open to learning otherwise.

Thanks for posting Garff's comment Doug and John. My conclusion from having some knowledge of Caffery's temperament is that he wanted to go after those of us who have criticized the company but was told not to by senior management. Garff wanted to protect Hammerhead at any cost. As a result he was t...

Some of us are not part of that FB group Dirk so the link is dead. If he said something of note, other than leaving the company, please copy and paste it here. Unless Caffery's marching orders were to over-promise, over-promote, take critics to task on FB, and create a website which falsifies featur...

As time passes, there is a growing disconnect between what needs to be done and that which has been, to the point where the company's software development-ability going forward has to be called into question. What has it done for anyone to believe it has the competence to deliver the Karoo its promi...

Osborne Effect: right on the money. Thanks for adding that to my knowledge base -- hadn't known it.

I'm hanging in for the same reasons, JohnJ. I'm also hoping Hammerhead is arrogant enough to boost the price to $499 which it desperately wants. The risk for both of us is if the company runs out of cash first. I have the feeling that the Morgan family (Jon and Piet's parents) is/are providing cont...

So happy I didn't install last two updates.

Riddle me this: How is this company still in business? Greater fool theory?

Thanks John. Good of you to update the guide even though you've gone back to Garmin. I'm not far behind you.

I'm one of the lucky ones who unlocked the bootloader through Developer options before the option was removed. Not sure if you did? Boot to the bootloader, activate fastbook, connect to your PC, open cmd and the folder containing fastboot tools then type this command: fastboot getvar unlocked If it ...

FWIW
