*Apparently, certain North American SKUs of the Epic especially those made after March 2017, come with a product activation scheme designed to deter shoplifting, i.e. black-market reselling of stolen goods. Upon purchase of the Epic (or any other tablet with such a scheme), users are prompted to enter a code given by the seller, or retrieving an activation code off [https://getyourcode.com/ this site]. One hacker claimed to be offering a workaround for this issue, and this may be defeated through other means, but for legal reasons I may not come up with a workaround for this unless a user with an affected Epic has enough evidence that his/her Epic is legitimately purchased. | *Apparently, certain North American SKUs of the Epic especially those made after March 2017, come with a product activation scheme designed to deter shoplifting, i.e. black-market reselling of stolen goods.

*Also, those on build 1.7.18 (KOT49H.user.1.7.18.20170327.110821) may experience streaming video issues with sites such as YouTube, LeapSearch, Netflix or Vimeo regardless of client.

LeapFrog also quietly released a hardware revision of the Epic circa 2021, replacing the MT8127 with a Rockchip RK3326. While this allowed LeapFrog to upgrade the included operating system to Android 10, it also means that the change in hardware rendered most hacks designed for the original Epic obsolete. We'll see what we're going to do once we acquire a Rockchip Epic to test and mod on. | |||
