[Xoom Android Development] Blades:
So a custom boot.img is a no go? Is this because of the different kernel or the (possibly different) initrd... for those that are confused by this question - remember a boot.img is comprised of the ramdisk and the kernel.
[Xoom Android Development] sooner2k1:
How is step 3 possible? Every time I do step 2 I lose root (loading stock boot.img), and thus can't open CWR? Is there a way to get to CWR and install update.zip without root? I'm using it by going into recovery via an app.
[Xoom Android Development] ljwnow:
This instruction is very unclear...
[Xoom Android Development] ydaraishy:
Of course not. You can have a ramdisk with ro.secure 0 and the stock kernel, or you can use any kernel you like that will run.

(IMO, it's better to root with as small a change as needed, and if you want to use a different kernel, you can do so if you want separate to the decision of wanting root)
[Xoom Android Development] ydaraishy:
Again, just use fastboot (because it's unlocked), then reboot into recovery. Does that not work?
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
No its pretty simple you must not know what your doing
[Xoom Android Development] lesjaw:
after you flashing boot.img and HRI66 system.img, type this in cmd, fastboot reboot

xoom will reboot to normal mode, then wait untill it completly settle to home screen, it will take sometime (it seems like bootloop but it does not, HC doing re-dalvik cache, so it takes time)..after it boot to normal mode type this in cmd, adb reboot recovery

you will reboot to cwm recovery (i'm guessing you have flash cmw before on 3.0.1) then follow the OP steps..

i'm on 3.1 now.. with no data loose and rooted ;-)

[Xoom Android Development] thegeektern:
I was wondering if anyone could package the stock 3.0.1 kernel and system.img into an update.zip so this can all be done using rom manager? Thinking about it most likely not cause moto has been pulling system dump images

[Xoom Android Development] Dyyryath:
Make sure you got a file called 'root31' and not the 'boot31' file earlier in the thread that he linked.
[Xoom Android Development] 760hacker:
adb remount won't work, so should i make sure i have the root31.img and adb reboot bootloader then flash the root31.img again?
[Xoom Android Development] arrtoodeetoo:
I'm stuck.

I flashed Clockwork Recovery.

I reflashed the stock images for 3.0.1

Rebooted into recovery with update.zip on my SDcard folder

Tried to install the update.zip, but I get an error "Can't Mount SDcard" "installation aborted".

I am not using the custom kernel that allows a real SD card. Do I need to have that in order for this to work?
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
Yes you need a tiamat kernel flashed once you do that thn yoj place the update.zip on the sdcard itself not internal storage
[Xoom Android Development] arrtoodeetoo:
Is there any way to flash this without a real SD card and get this all to work to retain root?

The Android 3.1 update file is definately the one for the Verizon 3G Xoom.

The next one says "USA 3g OFFICAL..." so that is likely also VZW 3G Xoom

I know the Root31.img works on the VZW 3G Xoom, but I didn't follow the other thread enough to know if it works on wifi only Xoom.

AFAIK, SU isn't model dependent

Omg 3.1 rooted yes!!! It only took me a million times trying lol. After flashing the 3-1.img I had to push su and su.apk manually and reboot for root. Just flashing 3-1.img didn't work.
[Xoom Android Development] jase33:
After flashing system.img you have to push su & superuser.apk because you have just reset all your permissions. The update checks for files in the stock system.img, that is why it is.flashed first. After you have reconfigured superser you can flash the stock boot img. Make sure you have cwm installed. If not or unsure, just flash recovery.img (cwm......not stock one) then you should be able to boot into recovery and run update from zip.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cas8100:
I am trying to run a script from my nook color running CM7 (2.3.3). The script contains several wget commands designed to download pdf files from specific URLs. I have replaced the stock android busybox wget with a more powerful one that has all of the standard options. The weird thing is that when I execute the script via the command #sh run.sh, only the last line of the script executes properly...

Here is what is contained in the script file (run.sh):

wget -N -P /mnt/sdcard/wget/app/ppm --append-output=log.txt -i /mnt/sdcard/wget/ppm.txt

wget -N -P /mnt/sdcard/wget/app --append-output=log.txt -i /mnt/sdcard/wget/revision_checklist.txt

This returns the log:

/mnt/sdcard/wget/ppm.txt

: No such file or directory

No URLs found in /mnt/sdcard/wget/ppm.txt

.

[Removed Server Data Here]

Server file no newer than local file `/mnt/sdcard/wget/app/checklist.pdf' -- not retrieving.

What is weird is that if I add a third line to the run.sh file, the first two will error out and the third will execute. I've written the file in notepad++ using ANSI encoding. If I show all characters, the carriage return after all but the very last line shows a CR and LF.

I'm stumped...would sure appreciate any help.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jtroye32:
Just wondering if there were any downsides to upgrading to the G2x through amazon.com for $119.99? You can do an individual or family line upgrade.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] azsl1326:
I just bought from Amazon and returned it. The upside is that the price is low and you have a 30 day return period. The down side, IMO, is that you have to hold on to the line and phone for 6 months or pay $250. This meant that, in the next 6 months, I couldn't give my wife the G2x for her line and then get the Sensation, SGII, etc. for my line without being charged the $250. I could deal with breaking the contract if I had / wanted to do so, however, I didn't want any additional financial constraints. Just my .02¢

HTH
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jtroye32:
how would Amazon know that you gave it to your wife? And how would they know you are using a different device on your line if you just do a sim switch? do they have access to that carrier data?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jtroye32:
also, does this mean you can upgrade phones every 6 months from amazon for their subsidized price?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
I don't believe so! They still have to go through T-Mobile to upgrade or activate new line!

So if you don't quality or you already did an upgrade then I'm guessing they'll turn you down!

But I could be wrong, I guess someone needs to read the fine print and let us know!

..........
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brianbrain:
This is incorrect. Amazon only stipulates that the line upgraded/opened/added must remain active for at least 6 months. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from swapping phones on that line, you just can't close the line/account before the 6 months are up. Unless you plan on jumping ship from Tmo before then, this shouldn't be a problem.

I used amazon for my G2X and their service is awesome. First phone suffered from reboots/lockups so I called them and they overnighted a replacement with return postage for the broken phone at absolutely no charge and no questions asked.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] azsl1326:
Well, that's not what I was told by the Amazon representative. I flat out told them that is what I was going to do...swap phones on that line and they told me I could not do it without being charged. Whether or not the rep was right or wrong, I do not know. I just knew that there was a high probability that I would be either swapping phones and/or bailing on the contract so I didn't want to get caught with any extra fees.

As for the service from Amazon, they were great and very responsive.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] azsl1326:
Here's the exact verbiage from Amazon's site:

Looks like I might have been misinformed, but would have still sent it back.

I just got this from another forum:

"just got off the phone with Verizon... all 3g versions will get the 3.1 update by midnight EST Friday."

Like the title says: just a rumor. I know nothing else. But it sets my mind at ease to know that I won't have to wait weeks. I'll stop doing the hourly update thing and just let it happen (OK, I might do it again, but not as often...). Can't wait to have resizable widgets and mouse support!

Google are doing a few things right in following apples lead when it comes to announcing updates and releasing updates on the same day, but as someone who lined up on launch day for my Xoom, and who still hasn't got an update it is still terribly frustrating...

Yes their are options for people who just cannot wait, and I understand that OTA updarea have to be managed to for load/ capacity reasons but I almost think the best solution is an either or solution. OTA update or for those that can't wait then an official tethered update....

frustrated here also. Got mine 9am the first day they had them available. No update yet for me this morning. Tried setting date ahead, it did check but nothing new.
[Xoom General] Mooem7:
Just curious, has anyone with a deactivated 3G Xoom actually received the OTA?

Some postings across several forums refer to the fact they only got the OTA after they activated their service with Verizon.

It seems suspect to me that that would be the case since any deactivated device I had with Verizon still received updates through WiFi (my OG droid and the last update (3.0.1) for the Xoom as examples).

I haven't received one yet. But if I do I'll post on here. Because I bought mines from a local shop brand new and never activated any 3G.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] XavierDery:
but what about backing up firmware?

Backing up files no problem.

Backing up apps, Google does that automatically if I'm not mistaken.

The problem I have is closer to the OP's post: I want to root my new phone, but need to back it up ENTIRELY before doing something as awful as rooting it it :)

Titanium backup (indeed looks like the best) and other similar whole-phone backup apps all need root ! But I need to backup before rooting !

Is there an app we can use to back up an unrooted phone, OR is there a way to use Titanium backup on an unrooted phone?

Using Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16a Android 2.3.3

ps lurk skywalker tell me if you have found a solution since you've posted your question
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hansonator:
Not entirely necessary to backup before rooting. If you are just flashing a stock kernel with root, as long as you do it correctly, nothing bad will happen.

I only do a backup before flashing ROMs as I always do a full wipe procedure first. The kernel I currently use has a built in total clean wipe, but I can do it the manual way rather quickly and prefer it.

Edit : I just saw you are using a sony, I know nothing about them, this is a Samsung forum.

CM7 has been set to be outdated this coming fall as Android Ice Cream Sandwich has been scheduled for release in Q4. Ice Cream will be the Honeycomb tie-in we were expecting for Phones as well as a few other features you can check out in the below URL. However, what's not clear is what it's Version Number will be. As 3.1 has been claimed by the soon to be released Update for Honeycomb (for Xoom at least), that will include things like the new Market Movie Rentals features among other things (which you can check out in the 2nd URL).
