[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
nope, no other way yet.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Read around.

Only two ways to unlock bootloader.

By HTC or S-OFF by Juponutbear.

Either way, you have to do HTC's unlock before you can do the S-OFF procedure.

There's no revolutionary-ish method I'm aware of, root comes easily through ROMs, flashing a SU.zip, or adding superuser through Amon Ra.
[HTC Rezound] bluedegeon:
Can you provide a list link for juponutbear please? Last time I rooted was a dinc 2 via revolutionary and I been training for the army for about 4 months now so ima a little rusty
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
You must do HTC unlock first.

This unlocks the bootloader and allows you to root.

Then you must root, and the only method of doing that that I'm currently aware of is to use Amon Ra to root the phone.

Then you can get S-OFF via the Juopunutbear method.
[HTC Rezound] bluedegeon:
I know the boot loader part but don't I have to s off before root?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
You don't NEED soff it's just helpful in some cases
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
No.

Only a custom recovery, which would at least need HTC's unlock.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Hey OP, there are root methods for the stock firmware, the 1.02.605.6 that comes with the phone new.

If you have not gone to the OTA firmware yet, 2.01.605.11, you can use those root methods.

Someone else feel free to tell me to go back to sleep, if I need it, too :)

Edit 3: Removing my tinfoil hat and going back to sleep for now, sorry. ;)
[HTC Rezound] bluedegeon:
Okay I'm on the latest version. Will the tool from the development forum work still?
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
If you are updated to the OTA firmware, you can only accomplish root by Unlocking the bootloader first.

This guide details the process succinctly and is what I used, however:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1504824

If you download the All-In-One toolkit and follow the guide it can simplify the process greatly. Perm Root option is in the Extras section for you after Unlock, and AmonRa recovery is recommended. Some ClockworkMod users have some nasty trouble charging battery when it becomes fully drained.
[HTC Rezound] bluedegeon:
Alright thanks. Yeah I don't like cwm anyways. I wish 4ext was available. Best recovery I ever used.
[HTC EVO 3D] KaoMinerva:
Ok guys my lcd was going out today and i tried to return to stock rom. I flashed the boot.img from my stock evo3d rom and tried tp restore my nand from cwm touch. it restored but stayed at a black screen just after the htc image. i think its a kernel issue but it has gotten worse now. I used to be able to get into the bootloader but now i cant, if the phone rarely powers on, it bypasses the bootloader while holding the required buttons for it and goes right to the main shell where it will only show a black screen after the white htc screen. Any ideas? im thinking it isnt hard bricked since it will power on.... any advice is appreciated
[HTC EVO 3D] iamaniff:
Are you s-on? If s-on pls try relocked with HTC dev, and run RUU, I have same problem before this and It's working for me.

^^^ What he said.

You didn't pull the battery did you? And you are for sure that you don't have issues with the down volume button?
[HTC EVO 3D] Dakargr:
close your phone and remove battery for a second. then try to enter bootloader again

Just a Idea, Would like to Make a Vigin Mobile CDMA WildFire S to GSM Mode.

PROS: Board has Solder Points for GSM Slot.

Cons: Not Sure what would be Required Besides adding GSM slot.

I have take pitures of the board to use as a reference point, Don't have a GSM model availible so I can not compare.

I'm Thinking Flash it to a GSM Radio and Rom and hope for the best?

Pics below: Any Ideas add to thread.
[HTC Wildfire S] davidang:
maybe changing radio
[HTC Wildfire S] benjamingwynn:
Apparently the entire mobo in the cdma version is different so this may not work and probably wont boot GSM roms and won't have any signal on cdma ones.

Unless.. you make your own custom firmware ;)

after messing with voice some more, it does crash quite a bit, and doesnt really recognise much i say, hopefully lee will fix the crashing at least in the next update, other than that, gotta say, PHENOMENAL rom :D

[Nook Color General] monkor:
Hey fellas,

I followed all the steps in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030227 that link up until step 8, where my Nook would not recognize the SD card as a boot disk. My laptop does, however, which means the burning of cwm3.2.0.1 worked fine. The Nook just starts up as it normally would without automatically booting into recovery. The SD card is recognized as a standard SD card in the Nook, and all the files are seen (but can't be opened because they're not recognized...I'm not sure if I missed something or what, but I can't figure it out. It's running stock 1.2 and the SD card is a class 10 Samsung 32G, which works just fine. Any advice?
[Nook Color General] MISRy:
Get a Sandisk class 4 card.
[Nook Color General] monkor:
Is that actually why it's not going to boot? I think I have a 2GB class 4 in my phone...
[Nook Color General] MISRy:
Sandisk. It's important that it be a Sandisk class 4.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Somehow your card is not burned properly. It could be your card like misry said. But it could also be the steps you took. Pay attention to what eyeballer said in his first post. 'Run as administrator' and use external usb readers instead of built in readers.

The Nook is very finicky about how a card is formatted before it will boot from it. Your PC can read it, but the Nook will not boot from it. If the image from eyeballer is burned properly, it will boot.
[Nook Color General] MISRy:
Now that he mentions it I think leapinlar has a better handle on this one.
[Nook Color General] monkor:
Alright I'll give it a try and Jerry you guys know! Thanks!
[Nook Color General] Edo526:
i actually have the same problem...

i have a sandisk 32gb class 10-doesnt boot from that

i have a sandisk 16gb class 4-doesnt boot from that

i know my nook can boot from sd because i have been dual booting for a couple days now until i could find the correct tutorial for my nook (no green or blue sticker, 1.4.2, 8gb model)

what do you think i should do?

edit:when i do the dual boot, it works with either card
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
What are you booting? The trick is to get the card formatted so it will boot in the first place.

Also if your dual boot sd is a cm, boot to that and go to ROM Manager and flash CWM to emmc using the first menu choice. Then you have CWM on internal memory you can use for flashing, backing up, etc.

Edit: I just added a section to my tips thread linked in my signature to help users understand about bootable SDs.
[Nook Color General] Edo526:
i run Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha_final on my dual boot, but when i put the emmc .zip into my sd and booted i couldnt find it in the rom manager, only shows folders
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
First you are running on a Nook Tablet, not a Nook Color. You will never get eyeballers CWM card to run on that. That is for Nook Color. Second, that is not how you flash CWM with ROM Manager. You use the first two menu choices. But you will find no CWM for the Nook Tablet listed there. I suggest you start reading the Nook Tablet forums, this is Nook Color.
[Nook Color General] monkor:
I think my not being able to boot is an issue with the Nook. On my first Nook that I got around Christmas, the root worked just fine. But the one I was recently asked to root, with the same card (32GB class 10), no success. I'm trying to find a backdoor into recovery so I can circumvent this issue. there has to be a way to manually boot into stock recovery and work from there
[Nook Color General] Edo526:
Wow thanks man, ill check out the tablet forums on here, you've been a great deal of help
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You say you got the card to boot to the CWM card on your other nook. Will it still boot it? If you have prepared the card fresh, see if you can boot it with either nook. And you are sure this second nook is a Nook Color, not a Nook Tablet like the other user above? They look very much alike.

Edit: You say root, do you mean you want to root the stock on emmc or do you mean flash CM on emmc?

Edit 2: If you are using winimage to burn, be sure to select "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image on Physical Drive" rather than "write disk".

This will begin rolling out Monday June 4 as per Verizon's website:

http://news.verizonwireless.com/news/2012/06/motorola-xoom-updated-to-ice-cream-sandwich.html

Also the support PDF has been updated: http://www.verizonwireless.com/xoomsupport

Below are the links to the OTA ZIP files. You can also find them in the Xoom firmware repository at http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/xoom.

Verizon 3G CDMA Xoom - IMM76L from HTK75D: http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-trygon-IMM76L-from-HTK75D.dd9131ec.zip

Verizon 4G LTE Xoom - IMM76L from HLK75H: http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-trygon-IMM76L-from-HLK75H.2a903016.zip

Some notes:

For the 3G CDMA Xoom, you must be running a completely stock installation of Android 3.2.1/Build HTK75D. For the 4G LTE Xoom, you need to be running stock Android 3.2.6/Build HLK75H.

If you are on stock, and are rooted, you CAN flash the OTA update, but you will lose root unless you use something like OTA Root Keeper or re-flash root yourself.

You can flash these files manually either in stock recovery via USB thumb drive and OTG cable, or in a custom recovery by just putting the file on your internal storage somewhere.

IF YOU ROOTED VIA THE XOOM UNIVERSAL ROOT METHOD, OR ANY OTHER METHOD THAT USES A CUSTOM BOOT.IMG FILE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO APPLY THIS OTA UPDATE. IT WILL FAIL 100% OF THE TIME, NO IFS, ANDS, OR BUTS. IF YOU ROOTED USING THIS METHOD, YOU EITHER NEED TO FLASH A PRE-ROOTED ZIP OF THE ROM, OR YOU NEED TO USE FASTBOOT OR SBF IMAGES TO FLASH BACK TO STOCK AND APPLY OTA UPDATES FROM THERE.

If you rooted by just flashing a custom recovery and then using that to flash the official Superuser ZIP file, then you should be fine.
[Xoom General] penorwood:
Do we need to return our units to stock in order to receive the upgrade or can we just download the ota over our custom Roma?
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
You will need to be running completely stock 3.2.1/HTK75D for the CDMA-only Xoom or 3.2.6/HLK75H for the LTE Xoom.
[Xoom General] MrTek:
Hmmm....why is my 4g xoom only on 3.2.4?
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
No idea. Do a manual check for updates and it should download 3.2.6/HLK75H.
[Xoom General] penorwood:
Can someone post the steps to return to stock? I really hate to go back and am wondering if I should just wait for someone to post an updated Rom.
[Xoom General] penorwood:

http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/?pubid=987654
[Xoom General] MrTek:
Hmm...in have done the manual check for updates and nothing. Strange. Is there a manual update to apply?
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Yes, you can download it from http://randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/xoom/mz602. You will need a USB thumb drive and the Motorola USB OTG cable to flash it in stock recovery. If you don't have those things, you'll have to flash it in ClockworkMod recovery which will involve unlocking your bootloader and wiping your data.

If you are completely stock on 3.2.4, I can't imagine for the life of me why you wouldn't get the 3.2.6 update. It was released back in February.
[Xoom General] MrTek:
Thanks for the link! I ended up wiping the tablet to see if it would trigger it, but no.

I was having an odd issue where if I held down the power button it would reset hard, and not in the normal way.

I just flashed the update zip via USB OTG, and did a factory wipe.
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Did it apply OK?
[Xoom General] MrTek:
Yes it did, but since I wiped I figure I might as well try flashing CM9 and check it out before relocking it back to factroy to await the update
[Xoom General] busixb:
manual install

[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Uh, that's for WiFi only. Not applicable here. If you flashed VZW firmware on an Australian 3G Xoom there's no telling what you'd blow up. At best you'd have no working mobile data. At worst, that could hard brick the tablet and turn it into a paperweight.
[Xoom General] mgerbasio:
On the Motorola forums one of the moderators is saying they haven't even started the soak test and June 4th is not going to be the release date.
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Link?
[Xoom General] oldmacnut:
I just want to know if sms/mms will finally be enabled with this build.
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
It's a tablet, not a phone. I would be absolutely shocked if they enabled text messaging, especially because VZW doesn't offer text messaging plans for the Xoom. Come to think of it, I can't name one tablet that includes native SMS out of the box. Am I missing one?
[Xoom General] oldmacnut:
My Galaxy Tab. Which was nice having a larger screen for texting.
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
And it came that way natively, out of the box, on the stock Samsung ROM? You didn't have to do anything?

Also to be fair, if you have a VZ tablet and smartphone, you can download the Verizon Messages app from the play store. That app lets you text from your tablet using your phone as a go-between when both devices are on the same WiFi network. You send a text using the tablet, your phone receives it via WiFi and then sends it out. When you receive a text on your phone, it sends it to the tablet automatically. It works really well actually. I use it all the time to text on my Xoom via my Galaxy Nexus. Another advantage is that you can use one phone number to text from either device. Only real downside is that the functionality is only available when connected to WiFi.

And before someone says "Google Voice FTW", that involves giving everyone a new number and Google having copies of your text messages. hahaha Google knows enough about me without needing to scan my texts for relevant ad targets. ;)
[Xoom General] Rblacula:
Yup, I remember hearing the OG GalTab got texting enabled in an update from my uncle who had one one Sprint. He also has a Stingray on Verizon AND a "new" iPad on Verizon... He still prefers the stingray the most and his son already smashed his iPad's screen (shouldn't let your 2 year old near a tablet ;))... Anyway, I use GV cuz on Sprint it uses your normal Sprint number w/o making you port it.
[Xoom General] oldmacnut:
The galaxy tab was basically a big phone, the GSM versions could be modded to make calls.

Verizon blocks SMS/mms on their end, was a limitation with honeycomb. Ics does not have said limitations, all vzw needs to do is allow the service on xooms with ics, hardware wise.....we can. After all, my Xoom does have its own phone number....

I found this post on the Motorola boards > U.S. Xoom forums > ICS Upgrade Waiting Room.....

The above comment was posted on June 1st and I doubt the testing would start over the weekend......

It sounds like the Public release will be, in Verizon's terms, "coming soon". As in not Today :-(.

Who really knows at this point.

-kesnik
[Xoom General] sbrownla:
That guy, Doc, is the one who started that "waiting room" and I am hesitant to believe a word he's written based on the fact that Verizon issued a VERY public press release with very specific details and a very firm date.

They know who own these devices, and they know that if they were to say something as ridiculous as, June 4th, and not let it slip out to anyone's devices within 24 hours of that period, they are going to have a riot on their hands.

We will most certainly see though, because I don't know why he would mention anything like that unless ... Meh, I think everyone is just really excited about this. I know I was when the GNex update was released, and it's been everything I'd hoped for.

[Xoom General] 3devious:
He was always making stupid statements about what Motorola was and wasn't going to do with an accuracy rate of about 30%.

[Xoom General] sbrownla:

[Xoom General] rvbarton:
anyone gotten this pushed out yet?
[Xoom General] apollyon0810:
Agreed. I can't imagine what an official OTA could provide that the likes of TeamEOS and Steady Hawkin haven't already given us months ago. Updated radios? Maybe. Haven't we all already been on ICS for some time?
[Xoom General] rvbarton:
There are still some of us that have tried the custom ROM's, and had problems with them, so we have reverted back to Stock. In my personal experience, the stock Honeycomb has been the most rock solid ROM to work off of, and I personally am excited about the OTA update.
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Not me. I have tried a bunch of different ROMs for the Xoom and I never really liked any of them, so therefore I say with stock. I normally say that stock ROMs work better for people where using their device day to day is more important than dicking around with it all the time. haha

Like for instance, I still don't believe EOS has fixed whatever's making it so that you can't play SimCity on it. Nevermind that I am squeamish about overclocked kernels, and custom kernels in general really. No offense intended, but I'm a little nervous about people writing custom tweaks to hardware that they have little or no documentation for. :) Really, the only thing I miss about a custom ROM on the Xoom is the ability to mount a USB thumb drive...but that's not a dealbreaker since I have a huge SD card in mine. :)

Also, for whatever it's worth, this OTA will make custom ROMs better in terms of telephony code. If you remember back to December when ICS was first dropped for the Xoom, the developers were having a hell of a time getting 3G and 4G to work on the Verizon Xoom because there were no proprietaries. If I understand correctly, every single ICS based custom ROM for the Verizon Xoom has been finagled to work with the latest available Honeycomb CDMA proprietaries since that's all they have.

Now that there will be some new ICS proprietaries, that can only be a good thing once devs bake them into the ROMs. Plus, as you stated, new radios are always a winner. I just hope there isn't a bootloader update with this. If there is, all of a sudden you need to start paying attention to your bootloader version if you ever have to flash back to stock.
[Xoom General] xuanphucn:
