No man, work together. Same thread, let's just move it. And insert post #2 to redy's method. Post #2 then would be Redy. :)
[LG Optimus Black] kdo_vi:
Yes, it works very fine (CM7).
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
That won't be needed, it's your thread. I just help to make it flashable through adb. No need to create another one.. :)

You just need to ask moderator to move it to Dev section, that's all.

Just out of curiosity, since you all like this so much, how many of you intend to fork out the $1.99 to actually help development?
[LG Optimus Black] andrewbadge:
Got mine working. Thought it got stuck in a bootloop so I pulled battery 2 times then voila! Touch screen CWM showed up! Thanks to our great developers!:D

Running on Zeusv.21
[LG Optimus Black] grnfeuer:
redy2006 works great !! thank you
[LG Optimus Black] balabe87:
Thanks Redy.. just flashed without any issues. Cwm touch looking very cool..

[LG Optimus Black] CalamitySir:
hey guys i dont know if it is the recovery fault or wad, i flashed using redy's method and worked perfecly but then when i tried to flash the latest nightlies using this it said that there is anerror and everything cant work stuck in bootloop now! anybody has this too?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
When you only said that "there's an error" it won't help at all, because we don't know what kind of mistaken.. Might be comes from the CWM-recovery, or perhaps from the ROM.

So can you post the error given, what's written there, if the error at CWM-recovery. Or if the flashing was actually successful but you got boot-loop after that, then at least you can post the kernel log or logcat...
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
Do you recommend me to flash this CWM Recovery Touch?

Apart from the touch interface, is there any new improvements/features?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
I don't know what's improvement beside that it has touch to open menu, and there's no recommendation at all, but you can tried it by yourself.. :)

But if you're just a regular users and not doing many work with customizing/flashing new ROM (intended as developer), I think it's better that you stayed with your version now, because you don't need much to access the recovery to deal with kind of customizing/error/bugs.

CMIIW.
[LG Optimus Black] imam.krismanto:
If you don't have pc, you can try this from terminal emulator :

1. Extract above file

2. Open terminal, change to superuser mode (type : su)

3. Type dd if=<recovery.img> of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

4. Type reboot recovery

Note: <recovery.img> is img file location

I hope this helpfully..

status 7 error

am getting a status 7 error while flashing Nova kernel on a nightly.

also MD5 checksum error is shown while i was restoring a backup. but that might be a problem with the backup, i must say. other backups restore just fine.

but the status 7 error while flashing NOVA kernel (the 11c) on a CM7 nightly(#51) is a glitch:confused::rolleyes:

any1 else having the problem???...also, trying to restore the previous version of CWM through script shows "protocol failure"..any lead??
[LG Optimus Black] gersa:
CWM Touch works for me, thanks
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
I think status 7 is related with updater-script. Can you also write the error above before "status 7", what's written there?
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
umm...sorry, i reverted back to the old recovery:o
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Oops. Sorry I'm not currently at development, so I can't help now. I'm just flash the recovery, but not trying yet to flash any custom kernel/rom.

Sent from my Black.
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
yes!!..OB can wait...concentrate on ur sem :)
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Tried backing up my current setup (CM) through ROM Manager and it was good (No errors), new UI (BIG green android). Maybe, just maybe it's deeply integrated through RM. I'll try flashing through RM and see.

EDIT: Tried restoring Zeus V2.1 through RM (nandroid made from previous version of CWM) and it was good/successful.

Restored the CM nandroid using RM (Zeus V2.1) and I'm back at CM.

something very strange happend to me...

I successfully installed the new CWM touch, boot phone normally, etc... and after that I enter recovery [touch] and flashed temasek's cm7 new build [p20-40] and it boot normally everything was fine, so I tried to flash nova11 and when reboot on recovery what I got was the previous not-touch CWM O_o??

OT: Would be awesome to have knzo back on the OB scene :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus Black] Felsar:
so... am I the only one that got the problem I mention few post back?? :(
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Might this be due to, that CM has built in recovery? Not sure, but that might be the reason.

I only tried it with zeus rom, so just retry it with another cm nightly and see what u get ;)
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Because I myself have been facing the process of building CM from the source, I think CM has it's own recovery.img, and it's possible that the recovery-touch at partition 4 (/dev/block/mmcblk0p4) are replaced by CM recovery while flashing.

But It's just my assumption, I can't do investigation things for now, please CMIIW :)
[LG Optimus Black] Felsar:
ok honestly I haven't done any more research about it... all I can tell is this:

I installed CWM touch and it was working fine, I did 2 o 3 reboots in recovery and everythings was right I mean touch working then I enter recovery [still touch] and did install zip from SDcard, etc, etc... flashed the new temasek's build p20-40 successfully then went to recovery again and it was old version, not touch CWM

and that's it, no more no less
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Well it seems possible that the /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 are overwritten by CM built-in recovery at flashing process, because it did happen after you flashed CM.
[LG Optimus Black] Felsar:
that is what I was thinking, so if uninstall cwm [delete rommanager.apk at system folder?] and then installing the new cwm touch could possibly be a solution... will try that tomorrow...

just to clear my mind, deleting rommanager.apk will not unroot my phone right? but I won't have cwm untill installing again?
[LG Optimus Black] furb3t:
I have a problem with cwm touch trying to wipe data/factory reset. When I touch wipe data, a new menu opens with question "Confirm wipe of all user data THIS CAN BE UNDONE" and down I have 5 lines with "NO". I press everything in the screen but i always come back to main menu. It's my problem or cwm touch doesn't work in this menu?
[LG Optimus Black] netum:
Did not think to scroll down the screen?
[LG Optimus Black] furb3t:
No :) I didn't think to scroll.....now it works like a charm . Thanks

[LG Optimus Black] re4lsk:
I thought that Zeus was from Huexxx...
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Yes, Zeus belong to Huexxx. What fredyto meant is that CWM-Recovery Touch working for his device with ROM Zeus 2.2.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Lol :eek:

To say that new touch interface is fancy... but it has some things that I don't like...

- The scroll doesn't have acceleration, then, when you have a large list of items, you have to scroll so many times with the finger...

- The screen width in characters is narrower than in original not-touch version, and all my updater-scripts appear chopped...

Regards.
[LG Optimus Black] fredyto:
en serio bro ?? :D :p
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
I think it's because the recovery not using full GPU. Kind of generic framebuffer, same used at Linux when boot recovery. And yes, updater-script might also have to be updated :)

CMIIW
[LG Optimus Black] re4lsk:
I was trolling... :P btw fredyto did got that.
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
u bet...i have too many zips and folders laden on my sd, so scrolling so many times was a pain. kinetic scrolling would be a welcome addition. but still then, i feel the "capacitive-button-touching" to operate is better than touch recovery.:rolleyes: although the touch recovery works with capacitive buttons too, but then too, if this dosen't offer something more, am staying with the older, tested and trusted CWM non-touch. :p :rolleyes::o

Hi Achyut, thanks for bringing this great CWM Touch here in attention in XDA

Previously, most users tried to install CWM touch. users went to Koushik's site and downloaded the .img file, but don't know how to process.

This your post made easy the process for OB users..

I am very happy and feel proud that our Indian as senior and developer in XDA...

Achyut keep rocking...
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
please note, i have ZERO role to play in bringing this to us. it is wholly and solely REDY's work that i have just "SHARED". so, thank redy, not me.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:
I'm not thrilled about mine. Its OK, but seems a little much. Just looking to confirm.

This time stamp is inaccurate. Just wondering about the os usage. Anyone else near this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyleyinSTL:
Without context battery stats can be misleading......

That said your system usage seems high. What ROM are you running? What programs are installed? Is your phone sleeping when the screen is off? What have you already done to trouble shoot the issue? Etc, etc?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:
Would you mind posting up the other screen. If 85+ % android system is normal then I won't worry about it. Just curious. Battery life isn't terrible. Just seems like a super high number.

I'm on rooted el30. No major mods. Stock kernel. I put a little battery mod w uot kitchen. I leave my data on and GPS . Pretty much everything w sync set out as far as it will go time wise.

Like I said, if high android system is normal for an epic 4g then I won't sweat it...but if most people don't see these numbers then I will Odin and start over haha
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyleyinSTL:
I'm on CM7 (stock). After 14hrs of very little usage my Android System is at 2%.

What are your use details on that?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:
How about someone w a tw based rom. I'm sure aosp will have different readings than tw. Thank you though.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyleyinSTL:
Slightly different yes...drastically different, no.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Looks right to me if you have about 20 minutes of usage and then it depends on what you are doing. Everything reports as Android System in Gingerbread.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:
I can handle that. Thanks.
[Xoom General] wontoniii:
Just my opinion, I would not recommend to everybody the step3/point6 as you do it...

I would just do something like:

This can be easily reverted with:

In case someone could want the old recovery back without flashing anything
[Xoom General] d3thstalker:
I believe your method is better, at least there's still a recovery to revert to in case something goes wrong. I'll add it to the guide. Thanks for the suggestion!

Having a problem with using your guide

Ok, I'm a noob. I am probably missing something simple. When I type "adb reboot bootloader" at the command prompt it says "Device not found." My Xoom is connected via USB (Same cable it came with). Xoom appears in my explorer window I can browse through the files; I even transferred files to the SD card. It is just not detected from the command prompt window when I start the unlocking procedure. :confused: Any assistance would be appreciated. Using Xoom 4G, Android 3.2.4; Windows 7
[Xoom General] kewlguru:
Make sure that adb debugging is checked. You can find this under Applications > Development settings.

Before you type, check if your device is listed

adb devices

This should list your device.
[Xoom General] dstruble:
That did the trick :) I figured it was something simple like that. Thanks for the help.
[Xoom General] modvads:
Superb Guide!

Many thanks, I spent the best part of a day trying various methods but found this to be the most n00b friendly :)

1 point it may be worth adding is to use adb you must have java installed on your pc, without you get error "adb.exe is not a valid win32 application"
[Xoom General] Don_Don:
first time root/flash rom question

Hi all..to start with sorry if im asking in the wrong place. I have a stock Xoom with an unmodded ICS I also own the Bionic. Also I have never rooted or flashed anything so I am a super noob (soon to change though).

I wated to be able to have USB host functionality and be able to have SD card read/write assess so last week I started searching Google which led me to this wonderful sight of great help. There might be too much help because after tons of reading there is more than one way to do what I want. Can someone please point me in the best way to root and which rom I should use that will give me the least about of trouble.

Thanks in advance
[Xoom General] modvads:
Ihave similar story m8. I spent the majority of yesterday reading and learning how to root. This is by far the easiest guide to follow to ulock and root your xoom.
[Xoom General] gbenj:
I just want to correct a small error here.

In Step 6 of Step 3, you say you want to check and make sure that the new bootloader is on there correctly.

I think you mean to say check and make sure the new "Recovery" is on there and the adb command would be "adb reboot recovery".

Am I wrong? If so, please disregard.
[Xoom General] Don_Don:
At which point do I back up data already on Xoom? Will there be any data loss?
[Xoom General] d3thstalker:
You have to backup your data before unlocking the bootloader, which is the VERY FIRST step. :)
[Xoom General] d3thstalker:
Yes you are right. Thanks for pointing that it, it could have confused some. I'll rectify that right away.
[Xoom General] TADitto:
Ok so I have a question about this rooting process and I haven't seen the answer yet. My question is will this process work weather your xoom is running ICS or HC?:confused:
[Xoom General] d3thstalker:
Yes, this process will work regardless of your OS.
[Xoom General] TADitto:
ok im at the point where I am trying to install the recovery image and when I enter the commands and then reboot and then wait 3 seconds and hit vol down to go into recovery it never gives me the option for recovery. The options I get are fastboot, RSD, and NVflash. What am I doing wrong?:confused:
[Xoom General] Yuccaman:
Many thanks for the guide - worked a charm on a UK Zoom converted to GED ICS :)
[Xoom General] resolved03:
Stuck @ Step2-8 and 2-9

I am at Step2-8 and 2-9.

Once formatting is done my Xoom automatically reboots and does not accept the command in Step2-9 (fastboot reboot). This puts me back at Step2-4. Am I not executing fastboot reboot quickly enough? Suggestions to get me out of this loop?

Update:

So I'm not stuck at 2-8 any longer and I managed to install the Tiamat recovery and root my tablet. One last verification step is to "access the new recovery". How do I do that exactly?
[Xoom General] R1150GSA:
First, thanks a lot for the concise, easy to follow rooting method. Finally, I have root on my MZ604!

Just a thought - you might want to add a link to su-install.zip so folks can install SuperUser at CWM reboot recovery time. After I finished the steps in your tutorial I tried to run a root app and I got a message stating I didn't have root access. After installing SuperUser the app ran smoothly.

Again, thanks so much for the thread. Now, I'm off to play in Rootland. :D
[Xoom General] PacerguyDon:
Thanks to the Op and everyone that contributed to this thread. After following the directions, I am now rooted and flashing a rom as I write this.

Thanks again!!
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Thanks for the guide! Just went through it, a couple of things:

The xoom root file at the location posted is no longer available. Searching that thread I found it at:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43942134/Xoom-Universal-Root.zip

Also, since they don't come with an SD card, maybe include it in the list of requirements at the start?

Second, please note in the tutorial that Debugging must be enabled in the settings, both before and after the first wipe / reset.

Third, renaming the files didn't work for me for some reason, I kept getting file not found. Instead, I did this:

adb shell

cd /system

mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.p.old

cd /etc

mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery.sh.old

Otherwise, everything went well and I'm running the latest CM9 Nightly on my Verizon LTE Xoom! Thanks!
[Xoom General] Surlock:
Been waiting for this semester to end so I wouldn't need my xoom on a daily basis. Now I've finished my finals, finally, and run through these steps. I expected it to be a more arduous task than it was. However, it was a learning experience. For one I learned the difference between internal memory and the sd card I got them mixed up because my file explorer calls both of them /sd. Other than that I had no trouble following the guide.

Much thanks for the guide. I'm still reading to figure out exactly what I want to do with the xoom, I'm looking around trying to figure out what will be the most effective for both entertainment and academics.
[Xoom General] yocky:
Yep, thanks a lot for this.

2 things though:

1) I think, given how detailed this and other guides are, it would be helpful if they could be more precise about the exact sequence of hardware button presses required where necessary. It took me a few goes to realise that I shouldn't still be holding power and volume up when I press volume down.......obvious if you've done this many times of course, not to a nervous first timer.

2) I also got a message about file not found when I was trying to rename the recovery files. I then tried to boot into CWM anyway and it worked fine...
[Xoom General] rosystreasures:
I tried your commands. However, when I input the last line, I get "no such file or directory".
[Xoom General] pinoiryder:
I followed instruction to the T.. now my xoom wont boot up after the last command which is adb reboot recovery. Did i just brick my xoom? any help to revive is appreciated.

I always get a kick out of these "tutorials"

they NEVER go as planned..

I followed EXACTLY what this said on a new xoom wifi 604

After doing adb bootloader and resetting everything to factory, the "tutorial" said to then enter a command so the xoom resets.

IT DID IT BY ITSELF..

ok, whatever, I continued

Now that it's unlocked, its time to move down to the next step and root

guess what, cannot the xoom to follow any commands anymore "error: device not found"

---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 AM ----------

I tried your tool but it does not work on the latest version of the operating system push down via OTA updates. I can unlock the bootloader but that's where it stops. I cannot load cwm and I cannot root it. Xoom is unlocked but that is it. just quickly scrolls down th scrolls down the screen but does but does nothing. This is after it supposed to be installed cwm. But I cannot tell if your system installed cwm correctly.. if you can help me it would be appreciated.
