Decompress to where?

I pulled down the kknetw.zip file that was labeled TWRP 2.6.3.1. Where do I need to unrar (decompress) these files? Also, is there a specific .bat file to execute the procedure? The one I see is flashall.bat but when I run it it tells me it is waiting for flashboot enumeration and won't proceed any further..
[Xoom General] NWKENT:
Sir..Friend..that zip file is NOT or any XYBoard..its for a Droid Maxx..That file is Kit Kat..NOT compatible with the MZ617..

Rooting Xyboard 10.1, MZ617

I have been looking for a way to obtain root access to my Xyboard 10.1 MZ617 running Android 4.1.2, version 98.8.127.MZ617.Verizon.en.US. My battery is not charging very well and I have been researching solutions. One requires root access to delete the file which holds battery charging statistics so that it can be reestablished. The method stated in this thread made reference to a zip file on a web page that does notr seem to exist anymore. When you replied to my orginal post, I thought that you were directing me to a solution for the Xyboard. I apologize upfront if I did not provide the right information.

Do you know of a source to root the Xyboard mentioned here?

Dear NWKENT,

I have used the file above and rooted successfully.

On another note, I came across this post on another thread (post #30) in this forum that the VROOT version 1.6 given above has malware, as compared to the VROOT 1.50 provided in the other thread. I'm not sure how true this is, as I have already rooted with the 1.6 and I'm not sure if there is a way to remove this malware (if it exists) /reverse the process. T_T

This is true,ever since I rooted with this method everytime I try to download something my phone also downloads an app on it's own I think is called mobogeanie.apk or something and when I open my trickster app it gives a toast notification about a modified root app might contain virus/malware so I guess I'll have to find a different way to root probably with a virtual linux machine.""

Switch to Chainfires Super User at least to v1.80..I have been running this Root method for at least six months on all three of my XYB's with no complications..You could also install Titanium Backup Pro..and if you where to download anything..either avoid install or freeze with Titanium..I have two Droid RAZR Maxx's with this Root method..absolutely no problems..

Help!

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to root my Motorola Xyboard 8.2 Mediation Edition running ICS. However, I've run into a few problems. The link for the Motorola drivers seems to have been removed and is now redirecting back to <http://www.motorola.com/us/home>. Which Motorola drivers do I need, and where should I download them from now? The second problem is with the Root Installer. The link for that installer no longer exists either. Where can I find another copy to download it?

Thanks in advance!

hello.

I own a Xyboard (Xoom2), and it has various problems with apps that doesnt update anymore, causing it to be useless for me or my kids. I need to update the android version for something new.

I found a lot of topics here about rooting, but because of the dates, i cant decide what path should I go. I never rooted an android, but I'm a good PC user lol. I hacked my wii and other things like that, but have no experience with android rooting.

Can you upload the root file again so I can try to root Xoom 2 MZ616.Thank you.
[Xoom General] llama-power:
unfortunately, I can confirm this. I restored my xoom to stock 3.2 and tried to root using this method, it gets stuck at the afore mentioned step. (uploading xyz succeeds, running "xyz stage1" stops working at some point)

I'm sorry if what I said was not clear enough. I was talking about unlocking the bootloader which is the first step in rooting the classic xooms and DOES wipe everything (/data).

This method on the other hand does NOT unlock your xooms, though. This is "just" rooting your tablets (and installing busybox) but it will not unlock your bootloader. Therefore, this method will not wipe your data (at least not intentionally;))

Did you find a solution to your problem? What changes did you made with root ? Did you tried reset your device through Android recovery?

Can you also try extract the update file from where temporary saved? Maybe is possible to apply the update through recovery.

Those are very bad news ... is there a way to unroot the device?

I don't think this is caused by the root method as I have heard successful reports of rooted xyboard owners upgrading to 3.2.2 fine. But a user on this forum http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18963-up...514mz617enuszip/page__pid__497187#entry497187 has uploaded a zip version of the update, I'm assuming that you can flash this by the stock recovery somehow.

I was going to include instructions in my post @ rootzwiki on how to install this update through recovery in my post but I haven't been able to get recovery to mount the internal or an external storage(thumbdrive or sdcard with dongle).

I tried leaving the name alone and with it renamed to update.zip with no success.

Note: I pulled the files from my VZW xyboard 10.1. I can not confirm that it is the same update for all versions of the Xoom2/xyboard variants.
[Xoom General] f4systems:
I think the problem is coming from the fact that I removed some verizon bloat. And when it tries to run the update it hangs on verifying a file called vcast-vzw-signed-fleming.apk . If someone could possibly upload a copy of this file i would appreciate it. it is from the /data/app folder.

I was able to get the updates to work by replacing the vcast app from a system dump a found online. Moral of the story is that if you are going to remove bloat you should probably make sure you have a backup of the files.

Good to know that you able to get the updates to work .

In general all the software that are not developed by google or motorola are safe to uninstall but is better first to freeze the application to see how the system respond to that change and then if you want more space uninstall it. Keeping a backup is always something smart to do ...

Just to confirm that this process worked flawlessly with my Xoom 2 v3.2.

It messed with the battery settings, though, since it was below 80% when I started the process and now it says it´s fully charged (which I know for a fact it´s not).

On another note, I´ve tried USB Mass Storage and does not seem to work with this root (I´m not sure if it may be my USB OTG adapter, but the device freezes as soon as I plug my USB portable HD, so I have to wake it up by pressing Power+Volume up, exactly the same as before USB Mass Storage was installed.

I already solved what I asked below. I imagine the "remount fix" is what I needed, but I downloaded the included file, put it in the Windows directory where the original files were located, then got into cmd mode, then followed the instructions. Problem is nothing happened when I typed "su", then it told me "Mount is not allowed...". Anyway, I reapplied the entire original process, and it worked like a charm, even though I had already upgraded to 3.2.2.

We noobs are people too, you know... ;)

Hi guys,

After getting into a bunch of problems with the market today (including the dreaded "Can't establish a reliable connection to the server" bug) I think I must have deleted "something" in the repair process, since I do not have root privileges any more.

Everything is working fine now, except that whenever I try to use any app that requires root privileges (like Screenshot ER) I get a warning saying "Root access is required". I still get the usual "X has been granted superuser privileges...", like it used to do, but nothing really works any more.

"Got Root?" tells me both Superuser and Busybox are still there, but it "

Failed to obtain root privileges trough "su""

.

Please bare with me since I barely know what I´m doing here, so I don´t know if it´s possible to reapply the Dan Rosenberg´s Root process like I did the very first time, or I just need the "Remount fix" mentioned by Elysian893. If my only solution is the latter, I´d appreciate some help with it since that process reads like Mandarin to me, and it doesn´t seem to be explained in this thread either.

Cheers.

Hello, I'm Italian as well with a TIM branded Xoom 2. Was yours TIM, too?

What I don't understand is if just having the Xoom 2 rooted we can gain access to an European upgrade that is not accessible by a branded tablet. Is this the case?

If not, given that I have not found updated custom ROMs here on XDA for the Xoom 2, I cannot understand what is the advantage of having the root at the very moment!

What am I missing? Many thanks!
[Xoom General] darkredemption8:
re

Hello,

Yes it was tim branded.

It is already updated to the lastest build. Like the european debranded one.

I need root for many things. The first is titanium backup.

However root is always the first step.

Waiting for bootloader unlock so to have custom recovery and install moded firmwares and kernels to get the best from the tablet.

Do you like your xoom2?
[Xoom General] dengi_it:
Yes I do like my Xoom 2, even if I was disappointed by Honeycomb, with more troubles than Gingerbread running in my Galaxy Note! In particular I cannot stay without Opera browser that is wonderful and smooth on the Note and instead crashes on the Xoom 2 using Flash...

On the Xoom 2 Opera is much more better than the stock browser and Dolphin, but as you access flash sites it immediately crashes! Disappointing...

Also, I'm not sure we have the latest firmware with TIM: we have version 0.268.4 but I read somebody in Germany and Australia got 0.281.4. Is this something we miss??

Last but not least after having been accustomed to the Note fantastic display, the one from the Xoom 2 is not comparable! I miss the contrast, quality, definition and never dirty gorilla glass... Anyway as a matter of fact this is one of the best tablet currently in the marketplace... Just Asus Transformer Prime is better but it was very faulty till a few weeks ago....

To make it clear:

- My laptop is Windows 7.

- I have installed USB drives that came with MotoCast program (you find the program on Xoom2 special drive when you plug it for first time).

- I have not installed another drivers for USB. The latest drivers i find on Motorola site is possible "Motorola Device Manager" which has higher version 2.2.17, but it's 31,1 MB big. The linked file in first stop looks have version 2.1.32 / Driver 5.4.0. This file is much smaller with 8,2 MB. Both have USB drivers.

With MotoCast tool installed, i tried to run the root package.

All 3 reboot steps went without problems, the superuser / Titanium Backup is working good. Here the root access is confirmed.

Xoom2 ME is standard 3.2.2 with preinstalled stuff (thus default version), bought in Netherlands.

Accu is like 30%, but it went ok.

Thanks for the great tool!
