Has anyone successfully rooted the UK WIFI version of the xoom. I have seen many posts about rooting and i have given some a go but all i get it a boot loop or failed to mount partitions via clockwork. I think the fastboot images i flashed were not compatible.
So i have restored to a stock version of boot.img and recovers.img (had to use the Canadian version as the US version broke WIFI). I have seen many of the posts say that their methods could brick the uk version so i am a bit cautious now.

If you can post the stock boot.img I can try changing the ro.secure to 0, hopefully you can get root back after that.
Which version of Honeycomb are you running? is your bootloader unlocked (does that even apply to the wifi xoom? Sorry I am a bit clueless to wifi specifics as I only have the Verizon/3G version)

I used the One-Click-Root on my Stock WiFi UK Motorola Xoom, and it worked exceptionally well, no boot loops or any other problems. The method can be found here:

But I cant guarantee it will work for you, as I'm not sure if it was a fluke for me or not, regardless it's up to you if you want to try it.

I have loked at that post but the big red writing saying "MOD Edit: This may not be compatible with UK models and may result in a brick. Proceed with caution!"
then on post 3 he says he was taking it down due to eu issue. Can anyone else confirm that the UK WIFI model work with this
I rooted my UK Wifi xoom, but not using the one-click method. Unfortunately I now can't find the xda post which explained how to do it though. I'm now on the 1.3.0 version of Tiamat and I'm not sure if I dare upgrade to a newer version, since no-one seems to know if it'll work.
At the moment I'm going to wait for Android 3.1 before I do anything else, I think.
Tried the 2 ways to root. Soft bricked the xoom playing with roms, flashed the USA rom to it, and also lost the wifi. reboot, and all was back to normal. was about 2.30 in the morning, lost the will to live. Tried the one click root, and all went without hitch for me.
Finally tried the 3.1 update using the cwm method. Which to be honest was a breeze.
Been flashing HTC for a long time now. There is always a risk, albeit a very small one.
Just to add check the wifi tab in the one click root software. Might sound obvious, but best to check. In the heat of the moment, you may just click root without checking. I did, but pulled the USB when the xoom started to reset.
UK. Wifi only, flashed with USA rom.

Thank for the confirmation. I will give it a go. Will i loose any data rooting? does it need to wipe anything or just flash over recovery and boot? ( i have already oem unlocked it so i dont need to do that again which does wipe).
Its a shame titanium backup requires root. I would like to back up my saves + data before rooting but can only do that after i have rooted.
I wouldn't recommend using the one-click root option.

Are you sure, as i tried that one and thats where i got stuck at boot. I thought that the us and uk wifi versions were the same so restoring back to stock boot.img is where i lost my wifi, a post said the Canadian version is the same as the uk, not the us, which explained why the Canadian version got back my wifi. Is this correct or did i do something wrong?
I used the one click method and it worked fine. Can't wait to get home and stick 3.1 on!!

I use the US WIFI images and i didnt loose wifi. You must have done something wrong.
Even if you did loose wifi you always push the modules to for it to work again.

I just purchased a Nexus S locally last night and it worked fine for a bit and now my sim card is not recognized. I have tried master resetting and that doesn't work. I have an unlocked bootloader and I think I may need to send it in for repairs and I can't lock the bootloader for some reason even after reading the directions. I need some help here please! Do I need to have some drivers for my phone so it can be recognized via cdm prompt? let me know either via PM or on the thread thanks.
Yes you need the Samsung drivers and adb. In the development thread there is a sticky with everything you will need. Read the root methods and they will tell you all the drivers you need and the process.

It is used for tethering, but when you install the application it usually fixes the driver issue. After the driver issue has been resolved, feel free to remove the program.
You will also need the android sdk for fastboot to relock your phone, look through one of the stickied guides for root/unroot to get familiar with setting this up and how it is used

I was listening...I was just saying that's all. I got it all taken care of locally locked the bootloader and unrooted my NS.
Mine has been working since i got and actually loved the phone ... over the last week it has been dropping calls and cant send text messages ( only receives them) no internet, I talked to the techy guy and he said you should always turn off your WIFI because the phone gets confused whether to go on wifi or the carriers internet.... which i think is total bs because i was able to do anything before...
has anyone experienced the same issues here ? how did you fix it?
ps: i did a factory reset 3 times in hopes that it wil be fixed ... but it actually got worse, rooting didnt work for me but im not sure if thats gonna help either
please help
thanks

I'd say just root it lol makes life easier with root and there's plenty of guides over in the Dev and general sections just pick what fits your needs. I'd suggest unlocking the boot loader rooting and changing to a custom rom if trying to tether cause then there's no tmo stuff to check on you. For instance I just go tmos new unlimited data plan with no caps but the downside is you're not supposed to be able to tether well I can lol plus you can remove sense or upgrade sense either benifits are far greater than stock plus you can always restore to stock for warranty minus using htcdev unlock method I believe
I completely agree with above statement. With rooting your device truly becomes your own. If you don't like something simply change it when rooted. It's customization on the deepest level. And thanks to xda we have a lot of great roms, to choose from. Also mods, kernels,, and firmware. It gives you the Ability to enjoy your device. Also I must tell you I have found in my experience custom roms are far MORE stable than stock Rom . On stock Rom before rooting I would get rebooting all the time with my device, after rooting and custom Rom that completely stopped! No more annoying rebooting all the time. Custom roms have many more features than stock. And you can tweak the Rom to your liking.also a lot of the time custom roms have a nicer layout than stock and more options. I've never had issues with having a custom rom. It's so worth going through the S-OFF and rooting process. You won't regret it for a second! I sure haven't. I can now truly enjoy the capability of my device where as before I was locked out. I can't stress enough how wonderful it is to be s-off and rooted! Give it a try! You won't be sorry!

Hello everyone, Im kinda new to all this
So i just decided to root my phone for the free wifi tethering to my laptop...I havent installed any custom rom just stock rooted with S-On(dont know if that matters).Ive used the Wifi tether app from the google market it connects but it takes me to the t mobile website asking me to add wifi tethering to my plan. so i tried other wifi apps from the market like open garden and barnicle but i get the same problem.I would be soo Happy if anyone can tell me a solution to this.
Thank you Very Much
If you want stock rooted with an unlocked native hotspot app flash MikTouch. Its based off the last ota is optimized
Just remember to fastboot flash boot boot.img after the ROM install so the modules match the kernel.

Well DUUUH! I didn't even CATCH the fact he already has ADB installed!
Just open up MikTouch & EXTRACT (not copy) the file boot.img to where you flash adb from. Then flash your ROM thru CWM recovery. Once done "adb reboot bootloader". Then "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and you'll see it sending your file. When done just "fastboot reboot" and check out MikTouch.
DO let it rest for about 5 minutes before you mess with it anymore though. Your ROM, I mean......

Ordinarily no. But I had something very similar happen to me once tethering my tablet and Tmo had evidently detected what I was doing. I got that blasted "sign up" screen on every internet connection I tried to make. They had replaced all my launch & homescreens with it. Once I replaced the ones I use with new installs it went away.

You can root this phone using Entropy's kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289460

Are you sure my kernel is safe to use on this device???
There is little known about this device... Going by name alone is a VERY BAD IDEA on Galaxy S2 era devices. Flashing I9100/I777 stuff to any Qualcomm based device would guarantee a hardbrick, and I think going the other way would hardbrick you too.
Since it's 4.3" screen it might be an Exynos device, but no guarantees. Specs/features don't mention NFC at all, so it may be more similar to the I9100 than I777.

I've been using your kernel for over a month without any major issues. The phone boots fine, plays games. The only issue I've run across is that sometimes you have turn the wifi on and off, but I don't know if this is the device itself (you mention something about wifi deep sleep in your thread) or if it's just an issue with my router (I've experienced similar things in the past with other routers and devices, so I really don't know).
About the NFC. If you remove the battery cover and look at the factory sticker for this phone, it has the same FCC designation at the i777 and the battery says NFC everywhere. I think TracFone simply has it disabled in the firmware similar to how they've locked the device from Kies and tethering.
IndigoAK, just to make sure we are on the same page, you have the SGH-S959G model?

So why did you claim earlier no one had a custom recovery for this phone, if my kernel works fine?
It sounds like this device might be identical to the I777, so you *might* be able to flash anything meant for I777.
Have you tried flashing any ICS firmwares? Do you have a dump of the stock /system firmware?

Yes. This is the model I have
@Entropy: I said that because I've not seen anyone that's been able to install custom recovery for this phone. Your kernel installs and it successfully roots the phone, and the wifi works unlike the zedomax kernel, but if you enter recovery it's just the stock recovery and if you try to install recovery through ROM manager or whatever, then you can't. I might not even be doing it right. I'm not exactly an expert on this and to be perfectly honest, I'm learning as I go here since this is my first Android device. Also, I don't have a dump of the stock firmware and nobody else does either as far as I'm aware. The source code for this device is available from Samsung's open source website, but that's apparently not the same thing.
When I say fine, I mean my phone doesn't blow up or hang or generally do anything un-phony. It boots, it makes calls, it plays games and installs apps, it mounts my sdcards, it connects to my computer through USB using Windows.
The only things is doing do are NFC, tethering and connect to Kies, which as far as I know you can't do even with the stock device, so I doubt that's your kernel.

OK that's REALLY strange, because recovery is contained within the main kernel on this generation of devices... Unless this model is a MASSIVE fluke and the recovery partition actually does something. (It doesn't on any other Exynos galaxys2-family device.)
NFC and tethering is likely to be an issue with the /system contacts...
Yeah, booting into recovery in your kernel gives the basic options. Reboot, reset. Nothing about flashing or backup. I haven't tried to flash the clockwork mod kernel from your thread since I've had such bad luck with kernels in general. Trying to install clockwork recovery from inside ROM Manager gives an error on reboot, but if you reboot again everything works fine, even the normal recovery

I used the latest version available in his thread. It's from March I believe. Also, Odin doesn't support zip files when flashing from a computer, tarballs only. I couldn't for the life of me manage to make a tarball in Windows that Odin would read though, so I had a friend package it for me.
Crap, I used the tar one and flashed it. With root checker it says I dont have root but busybox is installed. When it boots it shows the yellow triangle with ! but the phone boots and works okay.
Or can I get a copy of your tar?

Not too sure how I can help but I if there's anything I can do to help you guys out with this phone I'm willing. I'm not very familiar with flashing and rooting and stuff, since I've never done it, but I'm a pretty quick learner so I'm sure with a little help I can. I just got a new Samsung SGH-S959G, I have turned it on and connected to my wifi but that's it, I haven't activated it or anything. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out, and how I would go about doing it.
Hey Roxanne, welcome! The best thing you can do to help us right now is leave your phone stock so we have someone who has the original files in case we screw something up. Right now there is no real benefit in hacking this phone but hopefully soon what the few of us are doing will lead to cool new stuff for this model.
Right now the best thread for this phone seems to be at the link below:

Yeah, booting into recovery in your kernel gives the basic options. Reboot, reset. Nothing about flashing or backup. I haven't tried to flash the clockwork mod kernel from your thread since I've had such bad luck with kernels in general. Trying to install clockwork recovery from inside ROM Manager gives an error on reboot, but if you reboot again everything works fine, even the normal recovery
