I would suggest going the custom rom route. This is the one that I installed, and I am so happy that I did: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1203635

You'll need to first install CWM via fastboot. Instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074979

It is likely a wifi xoom, as nobody here sells 3G xooms.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Thanks for the answer...well, it looks like you answered his question, as well.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
how about a patched 3.1 update for the Canadian Xoom? Out yet?
[Xoom General] BlackDino:
Keep in mind Netflix will no longer work
[Xoom General] kingcrabb:
It is wifi. That stinks about netflix but I am using it for business. It really bothers me that there is one app I need and the reason I got it and in Canada we only and just got 3.1 and I have to have 3.2. Thanks for the help. Keep your fingers crossed.
[Xoom General] masterslacker:
What is the application that you need to use, that requires 3.2 on your Xoom?
[Xoom General] masterslacker:
I don't know if this will come out anytime soon, if at all. Remember 3.1 came out for US Xooms back in May (yes, 3 months ago!), followed by the 3.2 update in July. Source codes haven't been released yet, so rom cooking is not easy to do right now. So far, only the Tiamat team have been doing it, and I'll say that they have done an amazing job given what's available. They have designed a universal rom, that works with Wifi and 3G Xooms, both US and international models

The problem with the official Canadian 3.1 update is that it seems to be a mix of the US 3.1 and 3.2 updates. There are features, like the external sdcard, which are in the Canadian 3.1 update, but weren't available in the US until 3.2 update. So I would be very cautious about trying to "patch" the Canadian 3.1 firmware with anything from other sources as there is going to be some compatibility issues.

Honestly, I wouldn't wait on any kind of patches to come out for Canadian-only firmware. I flashed my Xoom with US firmware back at the end of May, and I am so happy that I did it, as I have been getting the latest and greatest custom roms/kernels/etc since then.
[Xoom General] woolmonkey:
It has Sd card support I'll have to give it a try. I might be able to release a deoxed zipalinged update flash. Not sure if I'll have time but I'll try.

I found the sticky with instructions about how to root the Infuse but, when I downloaded it, Kaspersky blocked it stating it contained a Trojan. I know there are false alarms off and on, but it makes me nervous, nevertheless. Also, I can't tell if it will work with Froyo 2.2.

Can someone confirm that the file is okay? It comes across as http://.....rageagainstthecage I thought it was odd since that's not the file name. It also crashed Kaspersky, which really did make me nervous.

The sticky is at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081072

and the file is....

Thank you for your help.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadow65781:
To gain root access to android, you have to basicly find a weakness in the code and exploit it. Rage against the cage is such an exploit.

People have been using this method for some time. If I'm wrong someone please correct me,. So it will trigger a good antivirus.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tunie:
Well, after reading your reply, I went through pages and pages of posts on this sticky. I found rageagainstthecage in a few posts, so decided the file is okay. Thank you so much. I had read a lot of posts, but I didn't see any with rageagainstthecage in them, but then I found a couple. Thank you again.

Now, if I can just figure out how to root this thing, I'll be thrilled! Off to the root forum:-)

Thank you again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
RATC is fairly old - most people here use SuperOneClick.

Do note that due to its nature, I believe a lot of antivirus programs treat SOC as a trojan.

The problem is that the same paths we use to get root are the same paths malware uses to get root. That's why a lot of the methods for rooting were closed in Gingerbread.

For Gingerbread, the usual way to grab root on Samsung devices is to flash a kernel that roots your device using an initramfs script.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tunie:
I'm glad to hear you say that! I decided I'd try Super One Click because the other one just isn't doing anything. I think I'm supposed to type in a command, but I have no idea what command to type in. I used a Blackberry for 7 years, so the Android OS is new for me, well one month old, anyway. I'm still getting used to it. So glad I left Blackberry behind...just wish I'd done it sooner. <edit> Where can I find information about which version to download? Good grief there's a lot of reading on that post :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tunie:
Thank you again. I'm heading there now, but I just read something that makes me nervous. I should probably stop reading. I guess I'm a little gun shy since I don't know the system yet. "It IS a dangerous tool in the wrong hands...Exercise common sense"? What does "common sense" mean? "Fork bomb"? I'll need to Google that one. I know root gives the owner admin rights, but how it does it, I haven't a clue. I guess I have to do more reading...good grief :-)

"rageagainstthecage is a root exploit via a fork bomb.

It IS a potentially malicious payload, BUT it is being used with owner's consent to root the phone.

The DreamDroid malware use exactly same payload - they are trojans, but this is a helpful tool.

It IS a dangerous tool in the wrong hands, but this is a root exploit, so you should exercise common sense and a little understanding of what it does and how it works.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tunie:
That's a wonderful video. Thank you very much.:-) Now, I'm just going to read more about how dangerous this can be so I can understand what I'm doing when I root. I'd like to exercise common sense, but I don't have any yet.:-) I'd love to donate. I guess I should get a paypal account:-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] welchertc:
The easiest way that I have found to root is found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116251

Just follow the instructions in the OP, and it's quick and easy. I trust it way more than super one click. Basically, the thread is about an odin package that takes you back to stock, and it just so happens to be pre rooted and has the modified recovery already installed. With super one click, you still have to install the modified recovery after rooting before flashing a rom, which I found to be cumbersome. If you use the ultimate unbrick, you get root and modified recovery in one easy package, and you can go right to flashing roms afterwards. Also, it's helpful to know how to use the ultimate unbrick just in case you end up bricking your device in the future.

Hope I helped. =]
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tunie:
I checked that post, but it links to instructions for returning a phone to stock. I was looking to root my phone. I'm a little nervous about installing sw that will return my phone to stock. Will I have the option to only root?

Thanks...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
No its both buddy if you wannz be rooted that's easiest way to follow my video. :) but yea that other way is good if you plan to flash a rom!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Use this if you want to.use Odin

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13906731
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
The package referenced above returns you to "almost" stock - it's stock + root + recovery.

The other option is to use Odin or Heimdall to flash a custom kernel that injects root from the initramfs. For Froyo, I believe the Defuse kernels will do this.

For Gingerbread, any of the Gingerbread kernels will do this - but when you flash the kernel you'll also have to flash a Gingerbread ROM.

any boot.img will do just fine, even stock boot.img grabbed from official stock rom. just need to edit the base parameter and pagesize specifically for the device in the script.

because this were posted in ace forum, the base parameter and pagesize already edited to works with ace kernel. u just need to reedit it back to match your device kernel.

I know jail breaking/rooting can unlock great features but I don't know what I would do with it because I don't have service.

<fluff>Hi, Newb here. Since I watched the video, I hate myself, and I now know that you all hate me too. Made a major leap from a Samsung A886 (an...ahem..."differently abled" phone) to the SGII about 10 days ago. Currently swapping back/forth between Go Launcher EX and ADW EX after trying every other launcher available. </fluff>

Every time I switch to a different theme in ADW only some of the icons are updated to reflect the new theme, most retain the style of the previous theme and it requires a manual changing of the icons. Any idea what's causing this? Common issue to be lived with?

I searched, but wasn't able to find a specific enough reference.

In most cases there is an existing icon in the new theme; sometimes a couple of different options. Could it be related to what the application is referred to as in the phone, vs the theme?

Maybe its Android 1.6

If you are using Android 1.6 of any 1.6 Roms like Cyanogen4. You will not find all the apps in the market place. Make sure you have at least Froyo, the best froyo rom for now is 'Froyo By Laszlo'. Its blazing fast, flash that rom and you will be able to download all the apps from market.

If you still want to still with a older version of android, try to download the .apk on your pc and transfer it to your phone and try to install it, it might work.

Hope this helps.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Its not software that tells the phone to charge at 1A, its the hardware. Usb computer ports are different from the usb chargers. I'm not positive what's different, but I think i remember reading that one of the leads are grounded in one and arent grounded in another. Hopefully somebody can point you in the right direction.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spotopolis:
I thought I read that too, but all that grounding is doing is stopping the data flow. Some software at some point would have to be used to distinguish between AC and USB, right? And I know the USB on the PC can support more than 500ma.

I saw a potential of buying a "Y" USB cable to give 2x500mA, but would you still be able to switch the phone to "disk mode" with this cable? How would the computer respond 2 USB inputs? I guess if one of the sections of the "Y" was only linked to the positive and ground lines it might work, right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Not necessarily, that's why the one lead is changed, thats how the phone reconizes what its plugged in to.

Not sure why you would need a y-cable...

Doesn't your computer already have more than one usb input? I haven't seen a computer in 10 years that didn't come with more than one usb.

And as far as how it would respond, I wouldn't use a y cable, you would need a usb hub.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spotopolis:
A "Y" cable to pull 2x500mA to make a full 1A on the USB to the phone (like some portable 2.5" HDDS). I ment how would your computer respond to 2 USB inputs as in your phone being connected to 2 USB ports at once and switching to disk drive mode. But then I realized that one fork in the "Y" would be power only and woulndt cause any data issues. I dont think a hub would make a defference because its still deviding the one cable to 2 and then back down to one, so wouldnt that not have an effect? Going from 2 seperate USBs to one on the phone would give more power, right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
I'm not sure why you would need a Y cable, as you have already stated twice that you know your computer outputs more than 500ma.

And AGAIN, it wont work. Charging via usb will always make the phone think its being charged by usb.
