[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protoism:
Zerg and Zerg rush are gingeread rooting tools and as such are no good for xoom 2 and honeycomb 3.2. the adb commands might be useful for pushing some other exploit, but doubt it. current xoom rooting involves unlocking bootloader - method for unlocking xoom does not work for xoom 2 (tried), also tried zoot which promptly got kicked out of bootloader. Will see if i can find and test anyother honeycomb 3.2 methods but with out sd card not sure if any would work.

Curious who the dev you had this conversation with was - i think my reply them would be on the lines of:

I thoght XDA was a place where people shared there knowledge and experince - rather than taunting and playing i am your 'teacher' i aint a newbie - just dont have as muchi time as i would like to study suff - i so search hear and google before asking questions - but hey there is so much stuff out there. In the time i have been using XDA the majority of the time people are very helpful for which i am greatful - people happily share there knowledge rather than teasing. If you know how to root xoom 2 why not just share it and appreciate the gratitude that will follow. PS do you have proof of root and have you managed to unlock the bootloader?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZonyX:
I agree, without an unlocked bootloader - current methods wont work.

we need to start with exploiting the bootloader - erm ... somehow
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomaseap:
if we can make image of the unlocked and rooted xoom2 from above ?????
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZonyX:
if the OP could do

adb pull /data/local/tmp/bootloader.img

That'd be the bootloader image - then would need to find a way to flash that, or find an hole in it, for a tool to be created
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomaseap:
i agree but that was the answer from him maybe you are right ..i also want to root ,unlock my xoom2 .

Hello, Recently got the Xyboard (2 Xoom here in Brazil) and he does have input to SD Card. In the UK and USA versions does not exist?

I look forward to the root of Xyboard unlocked, and the ICS. The original motorola honeycomb is bloated... the tablet is capable of much, much more.

Thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomaseap:
no sd in uk,
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZonyX:
Hhmm... Despite all paperwork... There isnt an sdcard

Would like to see yours if it has an sd slot.. The cover is there but the slot is bloked

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk1151:
I'm the OP, but not the lucky guy with the unlocked boot loader...

I'm glad to see this thread is turning into a more detailed discussion - since there is no forum us Xoom2-ers/Xyboarders can at least setup shop here for now.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elysian893:
There's a subforum for the Xyboard and Xoom 2 over on XoomForums.

Root access and ics are only things this tablet needs.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elysian893:
Working hard every day trying to get this thing rooted... Moto has it extremely locked down though. It's as if they've looked at every previous root method and specifically blocked it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got556:
And this is exactly what is pulling me closer to buying the SGT 7.7 as opposed to the xyboard 8.2. WTG Moto....this Bionic will probably be my last Moto product until they unlock these bootloaders. Hell the 7.7 isn't even officially out in the US yet and its already been rooted....
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZonyX:
Well the us isnt the centre of the world.

But I do agree these locked bootloaders are a ****ing nightmare

Sent from 3D land
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got556:
Never said it was. Just making note that the 7.7 is already rooted and has no US release date yet. Unlike the xoom 2/xyboard which has been out all over the world for much longer than the 7.7. I want to like the xyboard so bad as that 8.2 felt perfect in my hands. Shame moto has their heads up their asses. I wish the devs the best of luck on these xyboards/xoom 2's however as I will get one if development picks up. I know those involved are trying every possible route.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabioCapela:
I don't have one yet (waiting to see how the modding scene will develop for it), but each and every advertisement for the Xoom 2 ME here in Brazil mentions it being able to read SD cards (and also that reading 32GB cards require a software upgrade).

BTW, only the Wi-Fi version of the Xoom 2 ME is sold here at the moment. So, no local version even capable of using a Micro SIM for the time being.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekahuna:
Damn, no root yet? I guess my overclock modules are premature...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyDip23:
Hi all

Just thought I'd let you know I've contacted motorola about why theyve shipped the devices with the bootloaders locked even though it goes against all their press releases etc.

They are not going to be providing a means of unlocking the boot loader :mad:

Posted a full summary up over here if anyones interested :

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZonyX:
so...it will void your warranty...it voids HTC's warranty as well, and they unlock the bootloaders for you.

you just sign a waiver saying that you dont mind...im sure most of us would be willing to do that.

motorola just suck...whats the email address you sent your enquiries to? i never seem to get a response.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyDip23:
Hi

I just used the normal "contact us" link on the motorola support page to email them.

Took about 1 day to get back to me.

There's a similar link over on motodev that I used to vontact them too but havnt had a reply yet.

Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately I am Windows-less, but I'm looking at the script and there's no reason I can't run it manually.

I may try it later today.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFluffyOne:
I converted the motofail script to run under Bash on my Linux box, and whilst the exploit runs, it doesn't appear to have the desired effect on the Xoom 2 ME (UK model, firmware at latest available version).

The attempt to remount system as R/W still gives "operation not permitted", indicating that the exploit doesn't work on this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] logansfolly:
Hi guys,

im currently running a stock 2.3.4 rom on my galaxy mini, loving this phone at the moment, its rooted and i have had no issues with it so far... however i appear to be missing a few widgets. there is no music widget in the list and the vlingo widgets are also missing, im not sure if there are any others missing but those are the most noticable (compared to my sons xperia mini pro which IS showing those widgets, and yes the apps are installed!!!). any ideas on this one

many thanks in advance

Jim
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] SanketN8:
u are right so i would suggest u that install similar kinds of widgets(don't forget to keep them in phone memory) from market that u need :)

or other option try another rom for your mini :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] stepph:
keep in mind that widget appears only for apps trhat are in interbal memory...

...no SD allowed.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] logansfolly:
thanks, the widgets for vlingo appeared after i 'moved to phone' in manage applications, however the default music player still appears widgetless even though is a default install and shows on the phone. ive taken to using winamp instead as a result. many thanks for your replies.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CNghost:
So there are 2 options in CWM recovery, namely 'install zip from sdcard' and 'apply zip/update from sdcard'. Whats the difference? Isn't both options considered flashing? I was tempted alot of times to use the 'apply zip/update from sdcard' option. But I wouldn't want my Ace to turn into a portable paperweight. So can anyone tell me what's the difference? Thanks in advance. Peace out! :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mocoxk:
Is the same.

Install zip: you can choose any zip file.

Update zip: use update.zip file.

Ps. Sorry my short answer, i dont speak english

Enviado desde mi GT-S5830 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
Just to add clarification:

The apply update option in CWM will automatically look for a file named update.zip on the root of your SD Card, then flash it automatically.

I don't, however, recommend you renaming a flashable .zip file to update.zip just because it'll be more convenient; I'm not aware of the consequences, but my Linux experience tells me that a lot of **** can stuff up if you try to modify files related to the system.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CNghost:
I remembered I used the apply update option WRONGLY and got a bootloop. Had to reflash everything and I didn't make any backup :( thanks to the 2 of you :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiriusCybernetik:
The Galaxy S ++R.I.P.++ ?

​

As you all know, Samsung has decided to abandon one of it's most popular childs by not delivering the sacred last Android version to this device.

But this is not the end of the story for this great phone, because the community lives.

There are many valiant people out there that are investing a lot of their free time to bring us the taste of fresh, homemade Ice Cream Sandwich.

Some of them are developers, some of them support development and deployment by providing the required infrastructure, others are committed to "real" testing and many people simple take their time to patiently answer questions, some of which have already been asked hundreds of times before.

And some people simply don't read what is written in the OP of ICS threads (or the previous post(s)). They complain, moan, request, demand, whine, ... to a point where even the most motivated people of the first category start asking themselves if their efforts are worth it.

And then there are thousands of people who can read, who try to find solutions, who know all the secrets of search engines and one never hears of them.

Why, because maybe they have not enough time to help or the questions they could reply to have already been answered hundred of times and certainly most of them do not post in the threads unless they have something useful to say.

This thread is for you guys and girls. If you have already hit the 'thanks' button and if you already donated what you can afford and you still feel like communicating your gratitude without spamming or flooding the development threads, then this is the place to do so.

Any moaning, flaming, blaming, whining and other stupid comments will be reported immediately.

Thanks a lot for your cooperation.​

Edit: rephrased the passage above, because there were some misunderstandings...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiriusCybernetik:
So I would like to say thank you to all the people I mentioned above.

Even though I am using Onecosmics wonderful ICS RC1 release, I do not forget people from other teams that are investing their free time in the development of ICS on the Galaxy S and related devices.

There is a lot of "parallel evolution" or "cross-species evolution" as biologists say, this means that the teams or individuals are taking inspiration from the solutions found by other teams and integrete the results of it into their own work.

I also want to say thank you to all the people involved in supporting the projects. I am unable to name all of them so if you helped supporting and deploying the releases, this Thanks is for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jose.celestino:
No need for any spam or flood, just go to the respective thread and hit the thanks button. More, do a donation to the developers. That's what I call a THANK YOU.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dogans:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiriusCybernetik:
This is 'old' news.

It seems that Samsung will bring some kind of 'value pack update'. Something like an ICS theme on GB

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_to_get_a_value_pack_update_instead_of_ics-news-3583.php

Some more recent news say that Samsung wont even grant us this.

http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2012/0...-deliver-value-pack-for-galaxy-s-smartphones/

Anyway, if one day Samsung will change its mind, then it will partially be due to the fluid ICS roms out there for SGS....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kaynpayn:
Agreed with donations and the thanks button.

Yet, some may feel that's insufficient and the need to just get a more personal thank you may come across. One specific thread helps with this and can't see harm in it.

I can see where this comes from so:

Thank you developers :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiriusCybernetik:
Well said !

This aint no substitute to 'Thanks button', buying a beer or donation, it is complementary.

If you dont't like this idea, then stay away.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jose.celestino:
I didn't say I didn't agree with the idea. My "no need for any spam or flood" was agreeing with the original post that you shouldn't spam the development threads with verbose thanks but instead just hit the thanks button and do a donation if you appreciate their work. Is my english that bad?

Of course it's not kind from Samsung not to release ICS für the Galaxy S. No problem - next time i'll buy a phone from another manufacturer. The are a lot of.

Many thanks to the community, which brought us great things like the Lagfix, the possibility NOT to install TouchWiz and many other things i just don't remember.

Thanks.

I love ICS, I'm currently using S.U.R.F.A.C.E's version. I would like to thank all developers - teamhacksung onecosmic and all the others. I miss the old camera app and radio but I hope the open source community comes up with a solution soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Paulie65:
Galaxy S is capable for ICS

Guys and Girls,

The first Galaxy S is working great on ICS. My self using Teamhacksung Build 12 now, started with build 10 and have just a few minor problems, but these problems are caused by the installed apps that cannot work fully on ICS yet. Hope that they will be upgraded soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Leonardus97:
Samsung isn't even giving the value pack. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] El Aidge:
You should consider that Samsung updated the phone for a long time, and gave it two major updates. I don't think there are many other companies who update longer than that. In fact, the only android devices that get really all the updates until they can't handle it anymore are the Google phones. And then you should ask yourself: do you really care SO much about getting updates all the time? If that is so, you are forced to buy a Google nexus.

Yes, it's sad that Samsung are not the angels that we thought they were. But anyone ranting that they'll never buy a Samsung phone again should get real. Really no offense, but Samsung is a company. And a company lives not only from happy customers. It lives from happy customers that buy their new products, and so they have to add exclusive features. And 2 years of updating is fair enough for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
What you think?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiriusCybernetik:
Dear El Aidge,

I hope you felt better after writing the above post.

I must congratulate you on your realistic assessment of Samsung as a company. I do agree entirely with you.

But next time you post in this thread, may I kindly ask you to stay on topic? This tread is not about bashing nasty Samsung or whining.

My intention was to offer the Galaxy S ICS users a place where they can say thanks to the community without flooding dev threads and without being annoyed by people that feel the need to play teacher...

Have a nice day and enjoy your Galaxy on ICS. :)

Hey Guys, is US $300 a good price for a couple of months used SGS 2 international version? I thought I will wait for the SGS3 but I feel like it would be release only after 4 months or so and will be affordable only after another 2 months. Any opinions /suggestions or can I get it cheaper anywhere else? The phone is in good condition.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
yes, it is a good price, i doubt that you will find it any cheaper anywhere else.

new goes for 400 - 450.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosmyjtg:
Yes, it is a good price. I think it is a good option.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonceptB:
Even if you did want to sell it for a SGS3 in the near future it would probably retain its value better than most other phones on the market.

You'd get most of your money back.

hboot-1.76.0008 (sapp10000)

cpld-12

radio-3.22.20.17

nov 3 2009,15:56:29

is there a forceful program to remove the badly installed rom??

--i think this is what happened in the phone--

i presume that there are like the cayanogen rom in the system partition with a incomplete/failed or double installed boot images due to taking out the usb cable at 36% but with new misc and recovery, which also explains why i was able to operate the phone with commands "fast boot oem", presumably due to the RUU having reached only till the boot updaate part and also the reason for the cache and userdata for being there due to the RUU not having updating it!!

also is there a forceful program to remove the badly installed rom or repair it??

also there must be other programs to debug the htc magic, like programs which use adb or fastboot to repair!!?

also another thing, i dont have any data that i need in the phone, so there must other mathods?? like the "fastboot boot oem", i wonder how this command worked, if this one worked then there must be other commands which can open the phone!!

-''fastboot oem boot'' command works but the phone gets stuck on the cayanogenmod6 symbol and starts cm6 symbol looping...

^ this question must be somewhat choppy, which is because i have taken it from another of my previous post..

OK... if "oem boot" command works, then you have a shot.

It's complicated and requires a lot of coding...

Basically, once you have adb connection (should happen if you got loop), then you can run a exploit to get su. Once you have su, then you can use flash_image to flash a different misc and spl partition... then reboot into fastboot and have fun :0)
