Hello
Im pretty familiar with gingerbread and run custom roms on my desire hd but am struggling with where to start with my xoom. Are there any simple guides or one click rooting tools. What do I need to do to install a custom kernal etc etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
What version do you have? Wifi only or 3g plus wifi? Are you currently running 3.0.1 or have you gotten the ota for 3.1? Are you familiar with using ADB? The answers to these questions will help this community help you.

There's plenty of info on the Development Board, including setp by step. As was said though, tell us which Xoom you have etc, etc.

hey everyone,
I have a Droid X that I just rooted using z4root. I have the official 2.2.1 update.i currently have Milestone Overclock. I have the speed set to 1.5Ghz. I was wondering what I need to do/know in order to be successful at rooting and other things with my Droid. Any help/tutorials would be awesome. For instance where to find info on custom roms. Basically I just want to know how to do things on my phone that rooting allows.
Thanks

Welcome! There's a whole section of forums dedicated to the droid x. Custom roms are available there. Pretty much anything you'd be looking for is there. Start in the general forum.

I figured I would utilize my first post at xda to lend a helping hand.
If you check out the Droid X Wiki on xda it lists some custom roms and tutorials that should get you at least familiar with things. I would offer you some info but im not too familiar with the droid since my platform is the Evo. Read the wiki and look in the development section for the droid to research which ROM people seem to be gravitating toward. You cant post in that forum yet, as neither can i, until your post count is 10, but through intelligent searching and reading you should be able to at least get the basics to get you started.
Also, im not too sure what the stable underclock/overclock speeds of the Droid are but 1.5 Ghz seems a little high. I could be wrong but check it out anyway. Good luck.

Thanks for the help.
I have seen and tried to root my Xoom using the methods already shown on this site. One requires a password that the thread creator won't respond to, another requires USB, Java, and sdk downloads which confused the heck out of me since I am a noob at this. I have the HTC evo and I have it rooted and fairly knowledgeable on flashing roms, kernels and over locking but this is new terretory for me.
Please help me with a simple straight forward tutorial. I would greatly appreciate it.
Do you have a Wifi only Xoom, or Wifi+3g? Which version of Honeycomb is currently on your Xoom?
I think he is referring to Xoom WiFi.. Ironically, Sprint sells WiFi only Xoom

If you are not willing to learn ADB, then you really shouldn't be rooting anything, including the evo.
I have never rooted a tablet or phone before, but I am not stupid when it comes to hacking and modifying electronics. I just have some questions since I have been trying to root my xoom yesterday with no luck. First off, my xoom is running off of 4.0.4, which I believe is ice cream sandwich. I did not update to jelly bean yet because I do not know if that has protection against rooting. I also have an 8 GB micro sd card.
I first tried using Lord AIO tools to make it easy, and it worked for unlocking my bootloader but not for rooting. I was also using this guide, but it is outdated and I am also confused about a few things.
First off, it seems like everyone uses CWM Recovery to root, but obviously it needs to be rooted before you can install the Recovery tool. Is that why you have to first install the "fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img" file? Also, will anything not work now that I am on 4.0.4? If anyone can give me a noob guide just like the one above, but for 4.0.4 it would be greatly appreciated. Also any tips would help.
I know I have more questions, but I have to go to a friends baby shower so when I get back I will post any new questions I have. Thanks for any help and tips you guys have! :laugh:

Thanks alot, read the post. I will have to wait until at least Tomorrow to try this, seems the goo.im site servers are on overload. Reading into it they seem to have been having trouble with equipment costs and such. This guide is much more informative than any others I have seen so I can't wait to try it! Thanks again.
Hi everyone,
I am pretty much a complete newb when it comes to rooting and flashing android devices, but I would like to try a custom ROM to speed up my TF101. I currently have a TF101 running ICS 4.0.3, with a build number of 9.2.1.27 - 20126015. I really want to get some knowledge of how to root, flash, and everything else to improve the performance of my tablet while sacrificing as little stability as possible.
I've been looking for guides and tutorials to help newbs like me, but I can't find anything stickied on the forums. Can anyone direct me to the appropriate resources, or explain the whole process to me like I'm 4? I do have a little bit of experience with flashing ROMs, as I had an old HTC Touch Pro that I had custom ROMs on - back when it was a way longer and more painful process than on devices now.
Thanks,
fedorsauce
look for PERI tool in the forum, use it to install a recovery, then from that recovery, you can flash any ROM you want. all roms come pre rooted i think.

Hello ? I'm frustrated so much, I've been trying to download custom roms for my mobile for almost three days now with no luck. I honselsty don't fully get why they're so important after a root, I mean if didn't install them would I be risking bricking my phone in the future? I'm a kind of a noob at this, so any advice or pointers would be so helpful and greatly appreciated ? Thanks.
Also I've seen all the threads on here concerning HTC desire 728 and custom roms, tried the methods there but they didn't work. I know starting a new thread about an old issue is a kind of a drag but I hoped someone would see this and answer me.

Greetings and welcome to assist. If you are happy with just root then staying as you are is perfectly safe and there is no need to flash a custom rom. Most people flash a custom rom just to get the latest updates or a couple of new features.
If you have the dual sim version then most of the custom roms on xda will not work for your variant as it is different hardware. I did find this thread that I think has a custom rom for your variant
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire/general/urgent-help-htc-desire-728-malfunction-t3388534
Please always make certain that you only flash a custom rom that is compatible with your variant or you may brick your phone
Good Luck
