It's easier as you may think :).

1st - Be sure you want it, because you will format your internal data and lose your warranty!!!

Ok then after accepting the 1st option let's continue ;)

Download the archives on the attachment.

Unzip it on C:. Or, if you prefer: C:\

Now plug your Xoom via usb.

Wait windows install ALL drivers

Then open cmd and type:

cd C:\Xoom bootloader unlocker
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock

Read the Caution message on Xoom (maybe in the next weeks I post it here), and to accept press vol down and then vol up. If you changed your mind while reading the Caution page (like me :o), just press vol up, then softreset your tablet pressing vol up+power button and pressing for like 3-4 seconds.

I hope it helps you to unlock bootloader, as well I learned, with some facebook posts help, I wanted to share with you.

(Optional)

If you want to Root and install CWM too, follow this rules:

1st - Download this recovery image: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...rs&txt=here.&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13180302664331

2nd - save it on C:\Xoom bootloader unlock

3rd - type on cdm:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img

4th - Boot into recovery by booting the tablet (using power button + vol up), pressing vol down and vol up on Android Recovery

4.5th - To use CWM use the vol buttons to select the option and power button to enter.

5th - Then on CWM install the zip (this one http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo... version 1.0&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13180304832863 remember to put it on your sd card!) from sd card (sorry you need one :().

(Ps.: A very BIG THANKS to solarnz for this root option. Remember to thank him on his post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17135571&posted=1#post17135571))

Cheers and Good Luck ;).

FWIW - I don't understand the need to start a new thread that is essentially a copy of someone else's work, and adds nothing new .... In fact, several good reasons not to. Just saying ....
[Xoom General] willverduzco:
Moved to general because this is pretty much common knowledge by now and not really development. Thread not deleted / closed despite the fact that this information is elsewhere because the OP has done a good job at making this very basic for even the noobiest of users to follow.

Moderator thanks for understanding me :)
[Xoom General] Grand Varnage:
I having some problems typing the cmd fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img. It will say error: cannot load 'recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img'. The file I downloaded doesn't have an image file with it, but so I installed one from a another xda forum. will it go in same C:\Xoom bootloader unlocker file. or could it be messing up since i'm running xoom wifi 3.2.1

Edit:After looking over the command lines again I forgot to put cd C:\Xoom bootloader unlocker, and that fixed it! I gave you a five star for this thread. I've been trying to root my device for about two weeks non-stop. Saved me $50, because I was going to pay somebody that much to do it for me.

Sorry but don't know :s maybe works, because ig's the bootloader not the android version, anyway the root works (on official post it says it's universal, but I don't have 3.2 to tell you)

I don't understand why anyone except a very rabid hacker who hasn't already done this (like me - only had mine a few weeks) would go through the hassles of doing this only to have to undo it with ICS coming relatively soon.

But we all have our hobbies - it's all good. :)
[Xoom General] Dr.Preston:
I just get error: device not found

My Xoom is plugged in and I even turned on USB debugging mode. I can see it in Explorer. Are there some drivers I am missing?
[Xoom General] XxLordxX:
Download some from motodev, just search for Xoom drivers. The link is here: developer.motorola.com/docstools/US...ou need it.

[myTouch 4G Accessories] dr_tracker:
Hi guys, I got my hands on a MT4G with a broken LCD.

First Q, is it worthy getting a replacement off cheapbay? What other options are there?

Second Q, is it hard to replace it? Is it possible to do it myself?

Thanks for your advise...
[myTouch 4G Accessories] nguyendqh:
I haven't replaced an LCD myself but I am looking to replace a digitizer for my wife's phone.

Someone posted up this link for me in another thread I started.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULL-LCD-DI...984?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a12834fe0

This should take out the hard part of disassembling the digitizer from the lcd and reattaching and the adhesive itself.

It's the complete the front housing, digitizer AND LCD in one. Already assembled.

I haven't ordered it myself yet but I AM tempted. Especially after watching some of these disassembling videos.

Let me know what you decide and how it worked out.

Just PM me.

Thanks bro and good luck.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] dr_tracker:
Thanks a lot, I will check it out, the adhesive part really has me in doubt.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] allenmehrer:
I've replaced the LCD without the digitizer attached and you are both correct. It can be done but the finished product is not factory quality. I looked at the ebay part posted in the link and that would be the way to do it. Otherwise you have to use a hair dryer to heat the glue and its not fun.

If you are not familiar with taking electronics apart look for a video tutorial via google; I used one to take the MT4G apart. Also label the screws as they come out by drawing the phone on a piece of paper and placing the screw accordingly on the paper. Makes assembly much easier!

Hope you take on the challenge and good luck.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] nguyendqh:
Yeah my only thing about ordering this complete assembly is that my wife's phone has the SO screen and I don't want to replace with an SH, which I'm sure that part is going to be. (99.99% sure)

Add to that, she doesn't even need a new LCD and the digitizer alone is just 25 bucks.

Decisions, decisions.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] allenmehrer:
I have to clean the dirt out between my digitizer and lcd! Can't tell you how annoying that is. Suppose someone could do a better job resealing it... It would be nice if a digitizer/lcd kit came with new adhesive.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Luis2012:
http://www.papadigitals.com/advance...uch+4g&sgmid=aa6a532f59b343f82afc0aaa2d55c02d

I saw lcd screen and touch screen digitizer for HTC mytouch 4G there.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Skipjacks:
I've been taking electronics apart since I was 7 tears old. The MyTouch 4g finally beat me.

There are a lot of really delicate connectors that break easily. Be careful
[myTouch 4G Accessories] VBolgaria:
You'd better to buy non-working phone (maybe from ebay) and make one from two phones. You should have the screwdriver. Easy to replace.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] faisal822:
It is not really hard i saw a vid on youtube just search it up super easy actually
[myTouch 4G Accessories] manus ferrera:
I bought a digitizer LCD already together for like 75 and it wasn't too bad to exchange and put this new one in but when I powered the phone the bottom left of the screen didn't work and it impossible to take it back out of the silver bezel without breaking it so I sent it back to get my money and lost the bezel. Its not too hard but be careful take your time and don't pull or yank anything.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] tj2010:
I replaced my digitizer. I agree, there are many delicate connectors, but nothing to be afraid of. You should watch the YouTube video over and over. Also, be careful not to push on the bottom buttons while taking it apart. This was the most frustrating thing because they wouldn't sit properly when reassembled. I took it apart 5 times before I forgot to detach the power ribbon and ripped it off! There are motherboards available to fix this, but saving it for another day.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] manus ferrera:
That's funny that's the same exact thing I did pulled the power ribbon right out so I just said screw it and just bought a new phone on eBay
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xninjax92:
hey guys,

so i was bricked and then tried to use heimdall one click to stock, found here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1266172) that was for 2.1/2.2.. but i was running GB before it was bricked. i was unable to access the phone in download mode through odin (which i am more familiar with) so i had to use heimdall, which worked like a charm to unbrick.

now my problem is when the phone boots up, it goes to the 3e recovery screen.. and im not quite sure what to do next. should i be flashing 2.1 or 2.2 bootloaders through heimdall? or ive read something about flashing 2e recovery, but im not quite sure what it is. i figured i would ask some advice before i went any further and maybe make things worse. thanks for the help

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Deodexed:
Once again, I think Motorola Needs a little nudge to understand how important it is for us to have the bootloader unlocked. Motorola has released several great devices recently like the Droid X ,Droid X2, Droid 2, Droid 3, and the Droid Bionic, all which have a locked bootloader! HTC has released several devices, that are unlocked! HTC has already even launched a website "http://htcdev.com/" that helps developers unlock the bootloader, providing an option and making it a owners decision.

Motorola Mobility, I ask you to comply with the several request already expressed to your company for an unlocked bootloader. There has been several posts on several websites asking for the same simple demand to UNLOCK the bootloader!

Motorola Mobility, we have supported your company and your products and we have not let you down. When it came down to us paying the price you request for the phone, we do it, over and over again!

Can we have just a little back? Unlock the bootloaders!

If you feel the same, Please spread the word and sign this petition showing your support!

Thats rediculous and moronic and another reason why patent trolling should be reigned in. If you do not have the ability or intention to produce what is describled in your patents then you should not be able to patent them. There should be a timeframe in which patents become obsolete if not acted upon by the patenting person/company. If a company doesn't have the ablity to produce a patent, they can contract or license it out to maintain its validity, but if its proven to be an impractical abstract idea or beyond the technological or practical abilities of the time, the patent should be thrown out. Thats my 2c anyway.

Got my Streak back from Dell this morning. They sent me a brand new one! Has a Dell logo instead of the T-mobile. Popped in my T-mobile sim, and fired it up. Battery was charged full, and so far, it's working great. Version 2.2.2 Seems as if the reception is better? I take back most of the bad stuff I said about Dell. For now.

Amazon App store

I installed the Amazon App store on my tablet but when I tried to download a free app I was informed I was in an unsupported market: Canada.

I beleive (assuming) this has to do with copyright laws. A lot of their kindle devices aren't available in Canada due our different copyright laws.

Something to look into if you are counting on the app store.

Paid apps

I just got the Fire today. I went to install Ultimate Tabs, which I had purchased on the Android Market and had previously installed on my HTC Eris and then my HTC Incredible 2.

With the Fire, you have to use Amazon's App Market, so I went looking for Ultimate Tabs there and found it. But now they want me to pay for it again!

Now, I can see if I had it installed on an iphone previously, but this is supposed to be another Android device. Why should I have to pay for it twice? Anyone know of a way around this (besides sideloading the apk) that's legitimate?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] wbales:

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] grvthang:
I saw a thread telling me how to root it and install the Android Market. But then I saw another thread saying that rooting kills the Fire's ability to stream Amazon Prime videos. I don't know whether it's worth it. Maybe I should just shut up and pay the 2.99, but it's the principle of the thing lol.

I thought that might get your attention! :D

Originally, as a thank you to this brilliant community, I thought it would be a kind gesture on my part to release the source code of my projects after a certain number of downloads were reached.

(More of that here : http://andgamesdevblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/kicking-back-to-community.html)

Realising that I would no doubt have moved onto bigger/better/different projects by the time that would happen, I thought I'd reign it in a bit.

NEW TARGET

==========

2,500 downloads of Zombie Pop Donation

and I'll release walkthroughs and the source code for both Donation and Full versions (currently at 15,139 downloads in 4 months - 4*s -165 reviews)

I have made the donation version as cheap as is allowed and I have picked that amount to help fund artwork/audio on my new projects!
