[REQ] Newbie guide to rooting AUS XOOM

Hi all I know there is a lot of guides on here for rooting Xooms, but after trying to root my Australian Xoom and bricking it I would really appreciate if someone can write a guide detailing all the steps from what software is need to how to root and install HC3.1
Like I said I know there is a lot of guides on here but I cant risk doing the wrong rooting process again, as the shop wont fall for a faulty app install twice !
Many thanks to all the devs on here making our Xooms so much better!!

What about this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100372

Hi yes I have seen this one but the guides it links too are not really newbie friendly, they assume I already know what they are talking about

I had no idea what adb was until a week ago, i just went through it all step by step. Its not that hard to learn, as long as you follow it exactly as written you can't go too wrong. If you have any problems there's heaps of people here who can help you anyway.

There is a few guides in the Q & A section, which is where this should have been posted also.

ODIN Custom ROMS??

Is there any roms that have been converted to flash with odin for this phone yet?! Id love to install a custom rom so I can get root access but have yet to find any that have been converted for this phone.

Dear NeonSkunk -
Please stop starting threads and and making posts until you have had the opportunity to read a little. The amount of posts and threads you have created in the last two days is a bit much. I understand searching and reading through this forum can be tedious because people like you clog it up with crap, but you will learn something if you read.
Nobody is going to go through the effort to create anything for you! I guarantee it!! You have not even put in any effort into reading. The fact you refer to clockworkmod as CWN is proof. You are asking for roms flashable through ODIN. For goodness sakes read and you will find the ODIN flashable ROMS!
Follow the GB Ext4 Starter Pack as that has been ALREADY recommended to you. Read and learn what CWM is. Read some more!
You can teach YOURSELF everything you need to know so you can flash whatever you want - without asking a single question and clogging up the forum with crap!! I promise you! This forum is awesome and filled with priceless information. Take advantage of it!!
Sincerely,
Lumin

That was like poetry. I couldn't of said it better myself.

[Q] A request for help to the Forum moderators, programmers and advanced users.

Guys,
I would like to ask for help, the staff has more knowledge of the platform and the methods of root, flash, etc, to create this post to end the misunderstandings in relation to the Droid 2 and the process of root and flash ROM's.
I had other androids like quench, backflip, Galaxy S and never had so much difficulty in getting success necesse process.
Would you please help create a topic, explaining step by step how to root the 4.5.629 version, and how to install the bootloader on a phone that does not have ROMMananger and have gone through other procedures. For me and other people who are having trouble understanding the steps to upgrade their phones to CM9, or other versions.
I already searched on other forums and even here on xda, but the downgrade process, among others, are not always the details that give no security risk to me and many attempt the procedure. Since many end up losing cellular processes for doing it wrong and failing to reverse them.
In my country a droid 2 costs about $ 500, a galaxy s3 around $ 1000. So I would be very grateful if you could help extend the maximum functionality from this device.
Thank you for your patience guys

There is no totally risk free method of obtaining root, but there are methods now that allow you to root without bricking the phone.
In my signature you will find a link to an EzSbf style recovery and root CD, as well as a root only CD. I can give you no guarantees, but you can read what others have said, and make an educated decision. The link in my signature is to a post that originally had the previous method (required bricking), so many of the responders in that thread are referring to that previous method. However, on rootzwiki I posted basically the same CD, and all the responses are about the new method. That thread is at
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30900-droid-2-global-root-cd-for-629-not-necessary-to-brick-phone/
The thread on xda is in my signature.
Hope this answers some of your questions.

It is not possible to install a custom kernel on the D2G (nor most other Motorola devices). Its bootloader will only allow the use of kernels that have been cryptographically signed with Motorola's private key.
There are a number of tweakable CPU governors available, see for example http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10911-co...e-interactivex-and-smartass-v2-cpu-governors/
I don't know if overclocking above 1.2 GHz is possible, but with a decent ROM it really isn't needed anyway (we would get a bigger performance improvement from more RAM).

[Q] [REQ] NEW DEVICE: NB7850 S (Tablet)

Device info: http://www.bidwelltec.com/nb7850-s/
Will you please help gather support from developers for the NB7850 S. I couldn't find any sites supporting this device by independent developers. I have already sent an email to the site email form, so please don't overload them with requests, just wondering if we could gather interest and support for this device, the stock ROM is already laggy and hard to root or even using sometimes with the way they have this ROM set up. Please help, I am in stock ROM H.E.Double hockey sticks.
Thank you to anyone who can help me root this device and get a recovery flashed and !maybe guide me on developing for this device. I am so lost when it co!es to Android developmemt and would appreciate any help I can get to demystify this. I like to write easy to follow noob related articles so help me, to help you. LoL thank you everyone. ?:good:

Hi, sorry to say but it appears to be a bit of a white box brand so it's unlikely to gain support due to it being unknown and present in many variants of the device.
You would be better to look around for ROMs that support specific components in the device in order to have better luck as their will be similar devices using the same components with one of them probably having a ported ROM such as CM
Hope I could help and good luck

root genius worked for me literally just rooted a few minutes ago took me forever to find one that worked
http://www.shuame.com/en/root/

Root Genius worked for me also
Lot of applications that require root access work fine. Now, how do I do a Nandroid backup? Also, anybody know tried a custom ROM on this device? Hesitant to "just try it" until I have a full Nandroid backup.

I have one of these. Got it for $59.95 on sale via Staples website. A curious thing is that none of the preloaded apps show under My apps and the Store won't automatically update any of them. I had to look them up on the Store and install the latest versions.

[Q]ROM development tool etc.

First of, hello all!
As I am about to start learning how to make a custom ROM I want to get all the useful information before I start. I intend to develop for Xperia E. So I am asking you guys to post xda threads that helped you, tools that you use, useful advices and information that you think is very important before entering such a big field.
Thanks in advance, that536

You need to properly debloat it.
Install a performance mod (pure performance is what i use in my rom but u could also install fly-on mod instead. they re both good
Look for mods all over the internet
Try to make ur idea unique
U ll get there. Dont be impatient. u ll learn this stuff in weeks . it s no that hard

Hi Amby, thanks for contributing and I hope more people will do the same. It would be cool if one day there would be a sticky with info for begginer/intermediate/advanced devs
