Another quick thing I learned today. Cut and past may not work. I have no idea why. I used cut and past for:

adb mount

adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old /system/recovery-from-boot.p

adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.old /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

and got failures. Sitting and typing by hand - perfect success. Go figure. Any ideas?

Did you by any chance disconnect your Xoom from your PC? Leave it connected and do not touch it after your unlock your bootloader.

Google Play Store will suggest updates for the device that you're running it on only. Would you clarify which updates you're talking about? App updates or OS updates?

I was on stock Honeycomb when I first wrote this guide. The same guide should work for any OS regardless.

[Xoom General] uspole:
Step 2.2 says:- " On your PC, open up File Explorer and Browse to: C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools " where i'm supposed to open a command prompt. But after installing the downloads suggested in Step 1 I dont have a folder called " PLATFORM-TOOLS", but I do have one called TOOLS and another called PLATFORM (empty incidentally). So where am I supposed to open the command prompt?

I have opened the command prompt in both the PLATFORM folder and the TOOLS folder and in each Ive typed the command line "adb reboot bootloader" as instructed in STEP 2.4 but on both occasions I got the message " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

Help please.
[Xoom General] boricua80:
Same problem

I am having the same exact problem as well

Edit:

To the gentleman above me, it seems by default it doesnt download the "platform-tools" folder. You have to go into the "android-sdk" folder double click on "SDK Manager" and you will see it as an option. From there you can download it. I havent gotten any further yet but I guess that's step zero for you and I =P

Thats got me over this particular hurdle. Thanks.

It was third time lucky for me before I had success. I'm not sure why it took me this long. Was it because I used a different Xoom-Universal-Rip.zip the third time (the successful one I got via the link in post #26 in this thread). I was aware that STEP 3.5 worked third time and the 'adb remount' command didnt run properly the first and second time.

Hello there

I installed your rum everything is fine except that there is no camera, is there a fix for the problem?
[Xoom General] Max_Max:
No SU-rights, although Xoom is unlocked and new recovery burned

Hi,

I want to have SU-rights (e.g. to have access to all paths). Hence with 'oem unlock' I unlocked the Xoom. Then I flashed a new recovery. Worked fine. Then I started with new recovery and installed new zip-file for recovery. Worked (when I started in recovery mode, the screen locked different, zip file was accepted, no failure)

BUT: no SU-rights are reached (e.g. install 'terminal emulator' and type 'su' for superuser-rights. Result: 'permission denied'.

What is the failure?

Any idea?

HW MZ604

Android 4.04

recovery tested: rogue_XM-recovery-1.5.0-rc3.zip and eos-recovery-r6.zip and xoom-universal-root.zip

:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Xoom General] Max_Max:
Hi,

No answer up to now. Hence I will try to explain in more detail what I did and what my problem is:

Oem unlock:

Start fastboot, use the command fastboot oem unlock, follow the commands on the xoom, got the confirmation, that it worked successfully. Question: is there any option, to check, if it was really successfully?

Recovery replacement:

Flash recovery img to xoom, reboot, 'install zip from sd', choose correct file. I go the confirmation, that the process was successfully. Question: How can I verify, that it really was suessfully?

SU-rights: the apk was installed by zip file already, su-app is running in background.

Problem: when I want to su-rights (going into app path or with terminal) the su-rights are not available. With android 3.x it worked properly, but not with 4.04

What is my fault????

Issues with 'Motorola fast-boot' and Getting Google Apps to work.

Thankyou for the well written guide, I've got an issue getting Google Apps to work and recently with the recovery has defaulted back to 'Motorola fast-boot' . I forgot to rename the files mentioned first time round, I've now managed to restore clockwork-recovery but can't rename the files.

An update (see my forum post for more)...

With regard to renaming the files ' /system/recovery-from-boot.p' and 'system/etc/install-recovery.sh' I've still not managed this, when the tablet reboots into clockwork recovery its connection with adb is dropped. I've also tried doing them in terminal when booted and they don't seem to be there. Because of this I must have had to root it about 10 times now.

Just an update I'm now in chrome on it running 10.0 stable and Google apps work fine with thatthat (gave up with 10.1). Initially I had issues with the stock keyboard crashing all the time.

Rooting the Un-rootable

How do I root a XOOM without a functioning "lower volume" button?

I have a MZ602 with a non-functional "lower volume" button, and that means I can't use the fastboot menu on the tablet.

How do I root a XOOM without a functioning "lower volume" button?
[Xoom General] Kovaelin:
After encountering some problems with recovery, I decided to go back and rename those two files using `adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old /system/recovery-from-boot.p` and `adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.old /system/etc/install-recovery.sh` but it says that the file/directory is missing. When I use `adb remount` I receive `remount failed: Unknown error: 0`. It is probably because I wiped the data and cache.

I thought I was trying something stable after being directed here through a series of searches, but I see now I should have stuck with the pinned topics.

I'm even unable to do install the stock rom right as it gives me `installation aborted` now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

UPDATE: I flashed all the stock images through fastboot, and that gave me another chance at things.

You could root and apply a custom ROM.

Sent by accident from my Amaze using Tapatalk :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
actually the rom, kernel, radio, and baseband were updated too, the first two you can get by flashing a custom rom with the same base, the other two can only be achieved with the ota

i relocked my phone and flashed the latest tmobile ruu for the sole purpose of getting the new radio and i've noticed slightly better reception at home, by like a bar or two

another reason i flashed the ruu was that i had a few random reboots, now i havent had one after two weeks, restored from the backup i made before the ruu and flashed the same kernel, so it's def not the rom/kernel
[HTC Amaze 4G] brianbmb:
I have noticed a little better reception in some places / rooms that I typically didn't receive much, if any, service before. Or it could just be a placebo and its all in my head.

Well, I get really good reception (68dBm-72dBm, even before the update) so, the only difference I saw was the WiFi calling. I didn't recall the baseband before the update, so I couldn't comment on it.

Hi,

I have been reading this section for sometime and my friend has ask me to fix his phone. He owns an Evo 3D and it has all this Vodafone bloatware all over phone and would like to remove it. All he complains is about how bad that Rom is and of.lags the phone badly. He would most likely like to continue using HTC Sense and is there any generic HTC Rom that is available ?Also the Vodafone logo on bootup on his 3D. Now as far as I know he is running on Android 2.3.4 and the hwboot is 1.49 I think. S-Off is also on so I would like how to turn it off.

Thanks

There are PLENTY of Sense roms in the development section.

Read the stickies in the dev section.

CleanROM is one of the best Sense based ROMs. Fast and battery lasts a long time.
[HTC EVO 3D] knightslay2:
Well does it matter if I flash a cdma Rom with a gsm EVO 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] metalfan78:
Yes it matters.

We're comin from a pure power source.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tuoni:
Yes, it matters, because the CDMA ROMs will not work on the GSM phone and could potentially brick the phone, don't even try it.

I'm on Vodafone too, and luckily I didn't get any of the bloatware crap like the start up animation and stuff, thank god. At the moment I'm using virtuous quattro ICS Sense 3.6 ROM and it's working great, smooth, no bugs (from what I can tell) and it's not caused any problems. The only bad thing is the camera and USB storage doesn't work within the ROM at the moment, so to mount your SD card you've gotta have revolutionary CWM 4.0.1.4.

Have fun.
[HTC EVO 3D] knightslay2:
Can you link me to a guide on rooting this phone please?
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:

I got hands on my friends phone and its using a hwboot 1.49.0013. I can't seem to see any threads on rooting and turning s off for this phone. Do I need to downgrade the Hwboot in order to get root and S off?

You cannot downgrade hboot without root.

I'd like to get a case like the Targus A7 for my Prime. I usually carry both the keyboard dock and the tablet with me, but mostly I use only the tablet. It is then time consuming to first have to undock the tablet before using it and then dock it again before storing in the bag. Thus I'd rather have two separate compartments. Anyone know of such a case (preferably as small as possible)?

Have you tried with another headset? You might just have a defective phone Jack on either end. If it is the phone, then you will just have to send it to get fixed. If you still under warranty it should be covered.

[Atrix 4G General] :
I have had the same problem. You are not the only one. This problem actually is very annoying. When I hit the play button I assume I would hear it from the ear-phone but nothing happens and then I know the music is playing out via the phone's speaker. This causes embarrassment from time to time.

I normally make sure the battery cover is tightly closed then always insert the ear-phone's jack in while the lead/cable pointing outwards from the phone. In other words, no side insertions. I hope I managed to cross my point about how to insert the ear-phone's jack.

I never had any problems if I followed my own above instructions.

Good Luck!
