Hello Forum,
I tried to search to see a related topic but I didn't find but other topics in other forums that's not related to the Xoom.
I'm a n00b and don't know how to flash this Kernel to my xoom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
I know that there are steps in the thread about how to install the kernel but I think it's not enough for n00bs like me
So where to download ADB and where to write the given commands?
Thanks a lot guys in advance!
If you don't know how to do it and even can't find the information how to do it, then I suggest not to do it, you can brick your Xoom in the process.
Search for a ADB on google. Read how to use it and what else you need, the information is there.
You need to write the commands to CMD.
But again, if you don't know what your doing then its not a good idea to mess with it.
You can find some guidance here and it is quite simple once you get to understand what you are doing, but as suggested by poisike, shouldn't be underestimated as making a mistake can be costly (ie bricked device).
Install android sdk http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
Download fastboot http://developer.htc.com/adp.html it into the ../platform-tools folder in the sdk path.
Install the moto drivers http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Support-Homepage/Software_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
Make sure your unlocked and rooted. If you have the wifi xoom follow
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010568
or if you cant be assd run oneclick unlock & root for wifi http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196
Then run the steps in the Tiamat thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
And seriously, you should have done more reading and found the prescribed above method yourself.
I've made it! see the attached picture
I would like to thank everybody who replied on me from the person who wrote the advice to the person who put extra details for me.
With your help I'm no longer .. hopefully .. a n00b
I did some reading after your hints and next time I promise I won't ask without reading much
Thanks a lot again!
Hey everyone,
I have a question that I haven't found an answer in the 71 page Timat Kernal post.
I currently have my Xoom root running 1.1.6, no problem. I will be upgrading to 1.3.1 or the next version. What I want to know is will I loss all my apps and data when I upgrade?
Thxs
i have just u/g tiamat , did'nt lose anything , i think its only when you first unlock/root you lose everything , i may stand to be corrected , i can only go from what happened to me , hope this helps

Nope, I assure you that nothing will happen to your data and apps .. it will stay the same
if and only if you are already unlocked/rooted if not then you will lose them when you root your xoom.
Now what are you waiting for
Go ahead and flash the kernel

Thanks guys, that's what I thought. It was the unlocking of the bootloader that wiped the device the first time.
I'm kind of waiting for the next kernel, according to BRD its' rocking fast. As I understand it they removed ALOT of DEBUG code from it.
Cheers
Speak of the devil ... the new kernel is UP!!
Yup, I already installed it
Attached is my Quadrant Score
I apologize in advance for being such a NOOB but I've rooted all of my Android devices, just having trouble with this one. Also, sorry but I can't post in the root thread because <10 posts...
Anyways, I did the one-click root program found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196
The problem is that my device will reboot RANDOMLY now... the rooting process seemed to go ok but now can't be used because it shuts off on average once every 25 minutes...
What happened?!?! I would seriously be sooo grateful to anyone willing to help me out.
What does boot into CWR mean?
I've searched google and here...all just assume you know what it is/how to do it.
Thanks in advance. I'm trying to fix my GPS.
It's for rooted users. CWMR stands for ClockworkMod Recovery. If you don't know what this is, you're probably not rooted and this doesn't apply to you.
ah..thanks!
Well, rooting is the next step then. Just trying to read, re-read and understand the terminology before getting to it.
Thank you again!
if you have the samsung stratosphere there is only one known root method which involves pushing su and busy box and if your like me those parts never seem to work so i found out that if you use the heimdall method to just flash the zImage kernel. you can then use superoneclick to gain root access without manually pushing su and busy box.
can anyone else confim this? i would try it but i am semi bricked from the odin root way =/
onceclick root works! just flash the root-zimage and then use zergrush
where do i find it
ok i might be new but.. where do i find the "zImage kernel" to flash it?

I tried everything to root my SM-N30F UD. I'm very new to rooting and it all seems extremely complex. Every tutorial I followed wasn't nearly specific enough and left out vital details. In light of all this, my device seems useless. I've tried whey root process imaginable. I just want my phone to be functional again if at all possible. I tried to restore it with Odin, but it keeps failing. I'm lost.
Can anyone give me a VERY DETAILED step by step (How To) walkthrough including the superfluous details that most people probably wouldn't need?
Thanks in advance.
