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!

Hey everyone, first time post, long time reader.
I'll apologize in advance for asking, and I have looked through the forums so if I missed it please point me in the correct direction.
I just spent the last 8 hours doing the one click root for my HTC Inspire ( I wish I was joking), and seems I was successful. However, I fail to understand what steps to take next to get the overclock from CWM to work.
If anyone could please give me a step by step process after the rooting process I just completed, assuming I know nothing, and going into detail on this I would be greatly appreciative.
Thank you very much!

If the kernel you have supports it, you download SetCPU from the market to OC it.
I have downloaded Set Cpu.
I also downloaded the root checker, and it says busy box installed, phone not rooted!
WHat could I have done wrong? Anyone else having this issue with Once Click Root for the Inspire?
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

Hey everyone
My current phone state is S-OFF via Revolutionary, and I've installed an older RUU (as I was suffering from text delay, instability). Because of the RUU, I have no recovery image flashed.
I'm thinking about installing MIUI, and was just looking for clarification as to what my steps are.
Would downloading ROM Manager to flash CWM, and then rooting via usual methods be ok?
Thanks for any advice given, and apologies if I'm asking something stupid.
P.S. Is the few second call delay noted on MIUI just when connecting the call, or throughout?
Thanks.

I don't think there are no stupid questions, when someone can brick their phone doing something wrong.
I'm not sure if you can install Rom manager if you're not rooted? Someone else might know the answer.
I believe that call delay is only when answering.

Thanks for the reply
I'm new to all of this, and a lot of the technical talk goes over my head
I managed to get up and running on the latest version of MIUI.
I used the Revolutionary tool to flash ClockworkMod (it lets you do so, even if you've already used it in the past to S-OFF), then gained root, then flashed MIUI
I'm enjoying it, and have got more a feel for experimenting and how it all works.
I'm coming from an iPhone and have been reading and re-reading threads on rooting to make sure that I do it correctly. I think I'm all set to use Odin and have all the files downloaded. Seems pretty straightforward.
The only question I have is; how do I get CWM recovery installed?? I had a Droid X years ago and bought Rom Manager Premium, can I download and use that??
Thanks.
P.S. Sorry if this is a super noob question. I just don't wanna brick my phone.
follow my guide in the developoment section or click link in sig...all you do is download the ez recovery app from playstore..you must be rooted first!

I just went to the play store and looked at that ez recovery app, friggin sweet!!! Thanks!
I'll root and backup later on today!! This app makes it easy cause I'm not familiar with adb commands.
I just came from a Verizon HTC Rezound to the Verizon Samsung GS3, and I am a bit confused at the differences between the two. It appears things like rooting and ROM flashing are done WAY differently on the S3. I managed to get it rooted and have TB and SU working without an issue, and I was able to flash a custom recovery with ROM Manager, but still have some confusion about the inner workings of this phone.
1. Does this phone have an HBOOT?
2. Can I do Nandroid backups on this phone?
3. What is this flash counter I keep seeing mentioned?
Thanks in advance.

I know he probably should have created a new thread for this question. However, I too am curious as to the answers to these questions. Is there anyone familiar with HTC devices that can explain the differences? Especially 2 and 3 as the term flash counter has me rather frightened. I am looking to purchase a new phone and really want the GS3 but not if I can only flash the ROM a few times.

Yeah, don't jack my thread!!!
After finding out the issue was a bit of user error I got CWM to flash correctly.

if you follow the methods in my guide you wont trip the flash counter...most new android devices have a counter that counts how many times custom software was flashed on the device. there are ways to reset it aswell...best advice is to start doing alot of reading! my guide will get you where you want to go, but i dont have the time or patience to explain all the differences between samsung and htc for flashing roms. i will say samsung is much harder to brick thanks to odin.
Hi,
I would like to root my phone mantaining the stock recovery, and booting temporarily a custom recovery
If i execute a "fastboot boot customrecovery.img" and then i install from zip the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip" for example, I know that i will have a rooted phone with stock recovery.(right?)
I would like to do this in order to receive OTA without manual installation (i'm right?), thing that i have already done on my "old " Galaxy Nexus and now i would like to avoid doing it on the N5. I know that, in a case like this, i will lose root and then i have to do the process again.
The question is: There's just some contraindication doing this?
Thank you very much. I already tryed to find an exaustive answer searching the forum.
PS. Sorry for my poor English
Chainfire has the solution for you. Root and keep everything else stock.

You will have to unlock your bootloader if you haven't already done so.

Your method of booting a recovery image will work fine. That's the way I would do it.
Thanks you all very much!
