Now that we have a working 2nd init its time to get an aosp rom booting. Logically the first choice is CM7. We have a repo setup but first I need a small favor. I need the ramdisk (boot.img) ripped from the photon and the xoom. The atrix's wont work at all for us due to the fact it is gsm only.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Ignore my post
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Eh, not quite what im looking for. Im looking for what we had at the beginning of the 2nd init thread. the ramdisk has things like the mapphone files and the init.
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Essentially you need to decompile the boot.img from a CM7 rom for both devices.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Ace: Not sure quite what you want. This is the boot.img pulled from Photon CM7 Sunfire Kang dated Nov 20th. http://www.multiupload.com/1U12Z8LV76

And here is the boot.img (stock I guess) for the wifi xoom: http://www.mediafire.com/?lrdnz93ldsn5oc9

I'll keep looking.
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Your on the right path, just de compile that boot.img and you have what I need for the photon. Do the same with the xoom.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
How do I decompile? I should know this, but sadly.. I've never actually decompiled these things before. I tried mounting them via CloneDrive and that didn't work.
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Theres guides on how to do it, search for de compile boot.img or decomile android ramdisk youll find guide. I dont do it myself because of how locked down my work laptop is (until I get my thinkpad's motherboard replaced I only have this) BTW if anyone was curious im in a dispute with the seller of the mobo I bought atm.
[Motorola Droid X2] donlad:
Unfortunately I can't find any guides for Windows on decompiling Android boot.img files. All the ones I find are for Linux.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Send me the link of the.img and I'll try to do it on mine.

Went be till tonight tho

Tapin' the Talk on the xSquared
[Motorola Droid X2] donlad:
He wants both the Photon and Xoom boot.img files decompiled.
[Motorola Droid X2] veeeee:
Never decompiled boot.img before but I gave it a shot.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23458785/xoom-boot.img-ramdisk.gz

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23458785/photon-boot.img-ramdisk.gz

Hope this helps.

For decompiling I used this perl script:

https://gist.github.com/1087743

Just feed it the filename for boot.img and that's it.
[Motorola Droid X2] mazz0310:
PS - Ace I'm not sure if you know or not, but there is NO CM7 for the Xoom.
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
I didnt know that actually. Any aosp roms for it then? We just need something that isnt blur.
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
nope theres an ics sandwich rom in the works thats aosp but the honeycomb source just dropped when the ICS came out
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Well is it running AOSP honeycomb or was it with blur? AOSP honeycomb would be good enough even. All we need is the boot.img from it
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
Xoom is a google experience device came with a stock build of honeycomb no blur

Edit: I can get you the boot.img for the latest stock version of honeycomb from the 3G/4G Xoom
[Motorola Droid X2] ryman222:
And the source for honeycomb was never released so therefore, no CM8.

If one wants to return to stock after running a custom ROM, is it as simple as flashing the latest SBF with RSD Lite or should the bootloader be re-locked first? Anything else needed?
[Motorola Photon 4G] demonotaku:
All you need is to flash the SBF but only after replacing CWM if installed with the stock recovery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Doesn't flashing the SBF automatically reinstall the stock recovery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
To return to stock use the following ;

1. Menu/Settings/Privacy/Factory Data Reset

2. Flash the sbf using RSD lite

3. Done

If you do not do a Factory Data Reset via menu/settings your installed apps/launcher/etc do not get wiped and can cause issues. Also, RSD lite may give you a "failed" error during the final reboot phase. Don't worry this bug in RSD and you should be fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
I keep having problems getting RSD lite to recognize my phone. The drivers installed fine, I get into "starting RSD protocol"... plug the phone into my computer and nothing. If I sit and wait for the phone to do anything after starting protocol nothing happens.

Also can't get RSD to recognize the phone if its in recovery mode or from android with or without USB debugging turned on.

Wondering what else I can do to get it to work?

Hey i have doubt n not clear about this...

i have unlocked mopho ,im from india so using one of indian gsm carrier so if update my sbf version will it lock my phone??

and i read somewhere that we need to activate mopho after update what do we mean by that??
[Motorola Photon 4G] cubano100:
try and let us know
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Hey man which version of rsd are you using? I find that 5.5 works well. Try reinstalling the drivers, reinstalling rsd, and plug the phone in..be patient as your computer installs the drivers to the phone. It should recognize it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
I'll check when I get home and report back. This is the one thing keeping me from installing CM7 ... the inability to flash back to stock lol.

Thanks for the heads up.

[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
all the drivers installed. I installed RSD 5.5... i shut the phone down and booted into RSD.. "starting RSD protocol support"... then i plugged the phone in (w/ RSD open/running)... the computer installed the driver "SE sunfire flash" (or something like that)... but RSD would not recognize the phone. It never showed a device connected no matter how many times I hit the 'show device' button.

Any ideas ?

I had this issue with my first Photon, I think that you're screwed.

You have no way to SBF your phone...

WAIT A MINUTE....

WAIT --- How did you unlock your bootloader the first time without SBFing???
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
I'm not unlocked.. only rooted stock. Nothing more, nothing less..

Part of the reason I haven't unlocked bootloader or installed CWM or CM7 is because I can't SBF anything yet.. I want to make sure I can do a successful return to stock before I do anything else (When I had my Epic I got very good w/ Odin.. it's Samsung's computer recovery tool.. similar to using RSD w/ sbf file)
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Would you be willing to factory reset and wipe data and start over?
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
I've tried that.. no worky either.. but I'm down for anything..

(by the way, I just installed wubi so I can try the sbf_flash command to see if that works LMFAO) ... I'll report back in the morning after I try it.
[HTC Sensation] banasik72:
Just rooted and running Android Revolution 3.6.7 (3.0 Sense) with Beats Audio and Thyparancy - Honey HD Theme. Everything works fine - fast and stable, but I'd like to check out a ROM running 3.5 sense. I love Beats Audio and would love to get that with a stable fast and reliable 3.5 Sense ROM. Any suggestions, based on personal experience?

Thanks

In my opinion sense 3.0 is way faster than 3.5 I would stick with what u have

So, i got my handset like one hour ago, and so far i gained root access and made a backup of my original rom. Now it's time to install CM7. So, i found this link, and Nightly 20 seems to be the latest version out there. Nightly, that word makes me think that it is kand of a unstable beta/alpha version? Any experiences with any of these versions? And also, what is the NOVA rom i keep reading about around in here?
[LG Optimus Black] Felsar:
Well, novaROM is another rom based on froyo, cm7 is based on GB and it seems that the most stable is n17
[LG Optimus Black] Paste A Name Here:
As said elsewhere nightlies are something like debian testing... the dev makes improvements, corrects bugs... the dev's guru validates by reading the code of the commits... the bot (alas down this time...) builds it... and we guys use it and report bugs.

Can't be said stable but working. Read all threads and make your mind. Oh, and since the bot is down, someone built the code himself, with the dev's agreeing. Call that private build 'kang'... seems good with aprold kernel v10. Give it a try. Make your own mind.
[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
Thanks for feedback guys. ATM, i'm not sure if i need to change rom, i mean, i've gotten to change so much of the original rom now that it is beyond recognition. These are the apps i used so far:

- GO Launcher EX (With Notifications-extra)

- Minimalistic Text

- Super Status Bar

- WidgetLocker Lockscreen

I've also deleted a huge amount of LG stock apps using ES File Explorer, and i'm pretty happy about it so far. What i don't like is the colorful Dailscreens, i might have to look for some alternative there...
[LG Optimus Black] Paste A Name Here:
You can have them, I think. For example I made myself a zip with google's and my favorite apps so I don't have to reinstall and delete stuff everytime I try a new nightly. Next step is to backup preferences of each (and even put it in the zip...) and evetything's fine.

You'll get what you want by tryin. At least that's how I see it.
[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
Well, after some more playing around now, i think i want to flash CM7, but i don't feel like using a nightly build, sounds to unstable for my taste. However, i'd really like a stabile GB rom (or ICS :)). Isn't there any other one providing a stable solution? As stock or stripped as possible. Battery time is horrible with stock rom, hope this helps with a different rom...
[LG Optimus Black] Paste A Name Here:
Try cm nightly 17 with huexxx kernel... seems the less unstable but nothing more: no stable cm yet and maybe there won't for the dev seems to work now on ics... and still no lg stock gingerbread...

It's adventure or 2.2...

EDIT: In fact, redy's KANG seems the "stablest" or the less unstable with incomming call audio bug half fixed. Wifi bug with Nova or Huexxes...
[LG Optimus Black] dharmabm:
I think we all need to accept the fact that battery drain is never going to be what we hope, it is the nature of the beast. All smartphone users (including iPhone) have the same complaint, but particularly our phone with its slim design (and therefore smaller battery) will never have long life unless you never use it! :-)
[LG Optimus Black] venky77:
please..the only thing i like about apple and its products is battery life..est they are just crap..with all those jailbreaks n ****..android rocks..and optimus black awsm..

bt i was thinking why devs left cm7 on nightlies..at least 1 stable rom should have been cme..well..its good to hear bout ics rom..hope it will cme soon :)
[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
Well, how long will it take until Optimus Black gets CM w/ICS? I don't think P970 is on top of their priority list. About the battery, my LG lasts about 24h, while my HTC Desire lasts for 2-3 days, both sporting a 1 GHz cpu. Also, P970 has a marginal bigger battery, and HTC Sense is "bad for battery", that is common knowledge. I did read something about Beautiful Widgets draining battery as well, might uninstall it and see how it goes...
[LG Optimus Black] cuprum12:
My little review about CM7 #20 with NOVAV11c Kernel by knzo. Sorry if it look like a noob review.

Overall nice, just like what I want of how android should, but without all google product of course.

Bug I got, quite laggy when OB connect to PC via bluetooth , wifi error when I turn it off meanwhile it connect to my PC via bluetooth, but when not, wifi are good :D

Battery: drain a lot in default governor and quite save in LIONHEART governor.

Antutu score: 26xx in default launcher and 2492 in GO LAUNCHER EX.

Btw anyone knows how to make it battery saver?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Hello there, seems you comes from the same country with me :D

Just remember that CM P970 is still under development, the source code hasn't completed yet, so don't expect too much :) Well, how many hours your battery life from 100% to 0%? As my regular usage, up to 24 hours till 30 hours lifetime. Battery saver depends on users experience.

-CMIIW-
[LG Optimus Black] cuprum12:
you got me :D

Maybe up to 24 hours, I'd like to use up to, because it didn't touched 0% till next charge. Let's say I charged my phone last night (about 8pm) and get about 10% this afternoon (3pm). I thought 10% seems can be severals hours in idle :D
[LG Optimus Black] JasonQMe:
The latest CM7 for OB came out on 20th,but it is not from you and still has bugs when making a call.I like your 10th rom.It works well with nova11 kenerl.
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Huh? My 10th rom? :confused: What is it? I don't have it...

If you refers to Nightly Build #10, that's not from me.. That's official CM Nightly Build.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joepic:
"Sure, the Eee Pad Transformer Prime won’t actually ship in the US for a few more weeks, but when it does it looks like you’ll be able to root the first tablet with an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad core processor on the day it arrives.

Android Central’s Phil Nickinson received a review unit from Asus, and discovered that you can root it with a one-click tool called Razorclaw. All you have to do is download and install the APK file on your tablet and run it.

Razorclaw was designed to work on the Asus Eee Pad Transformer and Eee Pad Slider, but apparently it works just as well on the new Transformer Prime."

I don't have my "8" post in yet for a newbie on this forum so must do it the hard way!

Read about it here:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jamesey10:
that was quick and easy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
This is great news bit I hope the Asus people don't see this and find someway to close it up just as fast. I already have razor claw APK. Stored in my iPad for when I thought I was going to get original transformer. So it'll still work once I get the prime. All I have to do is email the APK. To the Prime, from my iPad, install, and BAM! I'm rooted. Lol. I might wait though till after ICS. oTA updates won't work after you root and too much hassle to initially go thru with ICS being so close. I'd rather have ICS rooted than honeycomb. ICS is the largest update/change in Android since it began. It's a merging of gingerbread and honeycomb, hence the sandwich name. A most everything is changed/optimized with ICS and more.

Here the links the op tried to post:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joepic:
Being new to the Transformer arena, I take it there is NO way to unroot Razorclaw? If OTA updates does not work after rooted, how do you get updates?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Lol that sucks and im not waiting for a ICS rom!

So no rooting for me till ICS OTA!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I think it can be unrooted if I remember right from cruising the original transformer threads. As far as OTA updates go, there's supposedly some tool or something to allow it or at least keep your root after OTA update. Thing is most of the time OTA updates always throw up errors on rooted devices. The OTA update contains some type of language or files or something that checks for stock/OEM stuff and checks to make sure no changes made to internal hardware programming or whatever. Once it does detect a change, it'll through up the that android error with icon and exclamation mark. Now what ive seen people/developers up here do is take that firmware/OTA amd take out the piece that checks for original stuff to still be the same. Or even if Asus has the site support for updates, it would work through there. I know like my Atrix phone is rooted and OTA update to gingerbread always throwing up errors on me. But if I wanted to I could go to motorola site and install the update thru the pc and it will work since it doesn't contain that extra coding the OTA update has to make sure everything is stock. Going thru motorola site to update overrides all of that. Hopefully Asus has the same or I'm sure people up here will have updates here to flash to your device once they take out the unneeded pieces.

Also if someone more knowledgeable can give more insight into this, please do. Or of I'm incorrect on some pieces, please correct me as don't want any confusion or misleading info. This is just what vie gathered from owning my Arix rooted and reading the original transformer forums extensively.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pesto242:
You are still able to get OTA after rooting. What usually breaks OTA is removing Asus system apps. If you root, then freeze the apps with Titanium. You will get the benefit of freeing up memory of the apps you do not want, but allowing you to still get ICS OTA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
Tuning in to this thread to see the outcome when I get my Prime!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
That's right. With system apps meaning bloatware?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Screw rooting, lets get the bootloader unlocked, flash CM9 when it comes out, and who care about the OTA update at that point. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
correct, well, any change to the ROM will result in the OTA failing, but just root access doesn't cause it to fail, but it may break root in the process of updating.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sib64:
I've asked this question on androidroot.mobi about this possibility.

For the moment, no answer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rob Irizarry:
I'm pretty excited about the notion of rooting my future precious but I'm guessing we'll all be too busy drooling over it for a while... once it gets into our hands.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Your question already been answered and conformed here. Just check out the links. Plus we even have link to the Razorclaw APK. Tool needed to root it. All you have to do is install it on the Prime and run it. No PC needed at all for rooting. Now of you want to unlock boot loader to flash a custom rom, PC will be needed. People already have original transformer over clocked n optimized so I can see the same and more easily being possible with the Prime.

Edit: lol I see you already own original transformer so you should already know the great things they doing with it in that section of forum.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sib64:
That's true, I have had no problem for rooting my TF101 with Brk Tools, but about the new TF201, nobody had to try rooting the new Prime with Razorclaw One click.

So how are you sure that we can root the Prime with this tool ?

I know, the Prime get out with HC 3.2.

That's why I've posted this question on Razorclaw forum.

You make only an supposition.

And if you read the OP, nowhere , you find Transformer Prime words.

[Tool]Razorclaw - One click Root for all ASUS Transformers, 3G and Slider(16-11-2011)

At the moment, if you find someone who's sure to rooting a Prime, I say OK.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Hmm, it worked for Unknowns on display model at GameStop. Maybe that update had something to do with it. Hopefully someone help you soon. Did you use the most current tool version? Or find out what version unknowns used to root the display model.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
I didn't do a system info snapshot sorry. It just worked; that 3rd line just said root was successful. Maybe someone can get the system info from the system dump I provided.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
There was a video of the gamestop model in a thread that showed that page...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] g0t0:
Its exciting to know the Prime can be rooted, but I'll wait for a positive root after the ICS OTA update. While there will surely be ROMs popping up, Ill tinker with stock until I see the need to root. Being quad core, hard to justify root for OC purpose other than to say you can.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
Update: Took new Prime out of the box, loaded razorclaw and attempted to root. It fails with error: "Unknown error occurred whilst trying to root device: 256"

So, it seems that even without allowing the out-of-the-box update to occur (which I did not), there is a different version making Razorclaw 1.0.1 NOT work.
