Hi all. My wife and i ordered two of the g tablets yesterday, and ive been reading the forums here since then. Im familiar with cwm, backups and flashing roms via my Fascinate.
Ive read through alot of the posts and watched a few of ehunyadi's videos on loading clockwork and roms, which are very informative. Im thinking of going with vegan 5.1 but before i load ill be making sure to check the firmware, if im running 1.1-3588 i should be good to go according to the woot purchasers post here.
Before i load any roms, should i repartition my internal sdcard?
Any other recommendations to prep my new tab when it arrives are appreciated.
thanks in advance !!!

Click my name and find "All threads started by Rick in LA." In my case, "all" = 1 and it's essentially the same question as yours (though the answers aren't really...definitive).
Found it !!
Thanks alot man !!!!

I've been using various Cyanogen and Hero ROMs since June and have now reverted back to the stock Vodafone UK ROM. In general the stock stuff is fine, it's quick and bluetooth audio works for phone and media. I need root access though to use Bluex for bluetooth file send/receive and pushing the HTC_IME keyboard
What I'd like to know is does anyone know how to root the new Donut release?
I've tried the Haykuro's rootmesigned but get a FC and constant reboot...it was worth a try
there is already a full solution for you.

I used it on mine and works perfectly, no flaws. Install that and you are done.
yeah there is a way. but im not going to answer because this is in the wrong section. read the stickies up top, search around, then post in the right section and maybe you will get more answers.

Aw gee thanks...NOT
If you don't have anything contructive to add then don't.
I spent hours searching and read through countless threads. For your info I have been installing ROMS since they came out in May (before the Wiki was in place), have contributed and would you believe it I have even been thanked for my help, I am comfortable with using ADB, Fastboot etc, am familiar with linux and have read the stickies.
Is asking about a rooted ROM not developement? Have YOU read the stickies because from what I have read, surprise surprise, in this section there is a sticky up above here about hacking and rooting. As far as I'm aware any developement focused questions would be posted in the developement section not general.
If I'm wrong them I'm quite happy to follow the MODS rules and their directions.
Are you going to repeat your post with questions about OTA updates being in the wrong section too?
P.S. the very helpful 'htcmagic' had already spoiled it for you
@BigRD: no problem mate, glad i could help. I installed the rom above and i am extremely happy with it. I have also installed busybox on it too.
Its much faster that vodafones original.
Hey mate, try Amon_Ra's Donut Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645
Very fast and stable with Root and others. I'm using it on my vodafone magic. Works really nice.
Or alternatively just go back to Cyanogen. Its Donut and it has more features than any other rom on this site so...its all up to you
@widezu69 & @htcmagic Cool, thanks guys.
I spent a lot of time with Cyanogen's ROMs up until the Google thing happened and was running eViL's Hero ROMs up to v3.0. I wanted to get back to a smoothish stock ROM issued by my network supplier but rooted by one of the great developers on XDA. I keep finding that other than the Vodafone original and the Google ION ROM bluetooth audio for phone and multi media working at the same time is very hit or miss. Am going to give both versions posted here a try over the next few days
Another one who wants a Rooted Vodafone Donut
I am also searching for a method to root a stock Vodafone Magic 32B that has had an OTA Donut update.
The answers on the thread so far involve flashing a new Donut Rom - my issue is that I have Donut already, and have never rooted - I am assuming the Root instructions included in the Wiki and Relentless Rooter are only aimed at Cupcake.....or am I wrong?
Any help/advice appreciated....
rooting the magic 1.6
Hi folks, dito as above. I've been up half the night trying to work this out. Have recently bought an htc magic from vodafone, and been 'updated' to doughnut 1.6. Not bad, but I'm really keen to get root on this, and eventually install the latest rom from cyanogen...
Seems there are now a few issues for people like me wanting to root their handsets... so far I've managed to erase my user settings, but keep getting errors trying to flash a rom. Followed the link above to nk02's thread, and no luck. Same issue, update aborts. There must be an easier way...
nk02 says his ROM works with 'wipe + flash'. How the heck do I do that? Seems this latest update to 1.6 has made all the other methods of gaining root obsolete... I'm far from a linux novice, and would love some advice here. And please don't tell me to keep searching, solid help would be appreciated. Cheers.
Hey all got my g tab 2 weeks ago and finally got the memory card for x mas. I want to flash my g tab from stock to tnt lite. I've prob read about a hundred threads and not sure I really understand how to get tnt's new version and get the access to the full market place. Was just wondering if someone could help me out or at least point me to the right posts, I'd greatly appreciate it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9670377#post9670377
That thread was what I used. Follow those instructions, using the files from that thread EXCEPT get the 3.10 file from the TnT thread. I followed those instructions, backed up, and then started to play around, and now I love my g Tablet.
just wanted to say thanks a million for pointing me in the right post. I finally got some time to flash my g tab, and it was easy to follow. Just have one question, I flashed it to tnt lite 2.2. How come I'm not getting a update notification? and since i'm not getting one, where can I go to get the updated version of tnt lite?
thanks in advace

Updates are turned off in the custom roms. Follow the ssame instructions you already did but install this file instead
TnTlite 3.1.0

Check this link for current 3.1.0 rom and info

just wanted to say thanks again for the direction to the right posts/websites. Everything went nice and smooth and am loving how much smoother my g tab is running and operating.
Hey all,
I've seen here and there the concept of repartitioning and even saw mentioned in the dev thread that if you use TNT Lite 3.0.0+ that you should repartition with the settings of 2048 and 0 as the options or I guess that it's highly recommended. I guess I'm trying to figure out why and if I should take that step.
As it stands, I have no issues on my tab. Running TNTLite 4.3.0. System runs great. Just wonder what the caveats (if any) to not partitioning would be. Thanks for educating this noob, been trying to read and find more info on it and haven't found any.
Hey all, just got my answer in IRC, so I'm good to go.

and the answer was?
I recently got a XOOM (U.S. WIFI-only) in July. It came shipped with 3.0.1
Within a day, it got updated to 3.1
and within about a week it went to 3.2
I wish to root my XOOM and eventually put on TIAMAT 2.1
When I go to the XDA forum it seems I need to get to "stock" 3.1 first.
I am guessing that this means I need to do a factory reset on my XOOM
to get back to 3.0.1 then do the update to 3.1
Once I am able to do this I should be able to follow their instructions
and root my device. Is this correct?
On a related matter, if someone were to purchase a XOOM now and it came
with 3.2, would they be unable to root the device?
Thanks.

Hey there! No need to go to downgrade or anything any longer if you would like to root. Team Tiamat themselves have released a universal rooting tool that will root any Xoom regardless of the country it came from, model, or Honeycomb version. It can be found here.
Also: You might want to check out my Xoom Heaven thread after you are rooted. It would be perfect for a new Xoom rooter. You can find the link in my sig below, or by going here.
Good luck!
Can you get Tiamat 2.1 when you have stock 3.2? Or does the stock ROM not matter at all since it's getting replaced?

You cannot do that until you gain root access first. That's how you get there in the first place: a stock rooted Rom.
So, no.. the stock Rom does not matter. As long as you have root access on it, all is well.
diablo2224,
You are a life saver! Prior to my post I spent a couple of hours going through all
the posts of rooting the xoom in this article:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170760
It was here I felt the need to understand what "stock" meant -- however, when I
registered I was told that I cannot post to that thread
So I posted here.
I checked out your Xoom Heaven and was blown away! Great Job!
After I submitted my post, I thought to myself that after I rooted my Xoom I would
put together something like what you have done -- looks like you beat me
to it. Bravo!
It looks like you put a lot of work into it ... so I feel extra lucky that somehow you
found the time to even read my question.
Thanks again.

Hey, no problem! It's what I do around here. Glad you got it all sorted out, and yes... Xoom Heaven is a lot of work indeed. I'm nowhere near finished, but as it stands I have made great progress.
Of course I read your question. When I'm not working on something I'm looking around for people to help out. Cheers!
Also: Since I am in charge of Xoom Heaven... feel free to ask me any root questions, or anything else Xoom related on my thread there. I'll be happy to do my best to assist you.
Hello Everyone,
This is my first post but I have a couple of questions maybe someone can help me with. I purchased a B90 Transformer yesterday and just rooted with Razorclaw. (AWESOME APP BTW DONATION INCOMING) I have not installed any custom roms just some apps. After I have rooted is there a way I can get this tablet completely back to stock? Sorry if it is a simple questions but this is my first root EVER.
Thanks again for all the help and I appreciate you all helping with these medial questions.

Well, the first thing I would say is to read the forum rules.....You really should be trying to search the forums instead of posting a thread asking for the answer.....
Now that I'm done being a **** about that....if you go to page 2 in the Android Development section you can find this nice, nifty little post...
Easy Unroot
I guess my first real question is, since your thread title says you want to go back to factory to play order and chaos, why? You don't need to be factory to play it. I can play it just fine on my rooted/ROM'ed transformer without doing anything special. The normal APK (1.0.4 I believe) works just fine without modification.....
