If i get the update... ever... i will pull it and post it, my two pulses are still not updating..

Someone needed to find out... so i took the plunge.

Result: OTA Root Survival does not work on the hisense pulse.

=( I have lost root. but now we know. Remember me as a martyr brothers. =P

I am at a loss on how to solve this, other then explode the new application and hack it to use a different package ID. Suggestions anyone? I can't imagine i ...
