[Q] Rooting from stock 3.1

OK, I may be overlooking something but I would rather ask than brick my xoom. I cant seem to find a thread that fits my situation.
I relocked and flashed all stock software to get the 3.1 update so im locked and stock with 3.1. I would like to root and flash CWR. Can someone point out the right Boot.img, recovery.img ect for me to use. I would hate to mess something up.
Thank guys
----------Edit--------------------------
NVM. This is what I did................
All steps below were for my 3G Verizon Wireless Xoom. The steps are almost the same for WiFi but the files you need to download are different and must be found on the threads listed below.
I have attached all the files listed in 3.1 Root and Recovery Tools.rar
Unlocked and rooted my Xoom
Steps found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968342
1. Download the Motorola Xoom Root Zip file and unzip it. (I replaced this file with the root31.img)
2. Place the files in the SDK Tools folder.
3. adb reboot bootloader (You can skip the next 3 steps if you’ve unlocked with fastboot previously)
5. fastboot oem unlock (wait for reboot)
6. adb reboot bootloader
7. fastboot flash boot (name of new boot.img(root31.img attached))
7. fastboot reboot (wait for reboot)
(you might need to enable usb debuging here)
8. adb remount
9. adb shell push su /system/bin
10. adb shell ln –s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
11. adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
12. adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

Flashed CWR
Steps found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
1. Download the recovery image ( I used the image that keeps charging light on)
2. Pull up your command prompt
3. Adb reboot bootloader
4. Fastboot flash (name of recovery.img (CWR.img attached))
5. Fastboot reboot
_______________________________________________________
Flashed Kernal
Steps found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Go into "mounts and storage"
3. Select "mount USB storage"
4. Your SD Card will now be mounted on your computer. Drop the kernel (and boot image pack if applicable) onto SD Card.
5. "Go Back" then go into "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard"
6. If you are flashing a boot image pack, flash it first. Then flash the kernel zip.
7. Back out to main menu and reboot.

Need help preparing Xoom for official updates

Hey folks,
I´ve ran my MZ601 xoom on EOS builds over the last 1,5 years.
Obviously its unlocked and rooted. Currently its running CWM Recovery 4.0.0.4
Now I want to go back to stock to install the latest official updates to get the updated drivers for the UMTS radio/modem module.
After that I want to unlock and get root again to use any of the lastest custom Roms again.
Switching to a touch based recovery would be nice too.
I surfed around a bit and I´m rather confused which steps I need to perform in order to do this.
I guess I need to remove root and lock the bootloader again before I can install official updates ?
Could someone please toss me in the right direction? Maybe some step-by step list?

You'll presumably want Build H.6.1-38-1 for Retail Europe from here.
Returning to stock:
Extract the files from the link above to your adb/fastboot directory if you have one. If you don't have one I've uploaded them for you here.
Connect your Xoom to your PC then open command prompt from your adb folder. (Hold shift > right click on adb-fastboot folder > click Open Command Window Here)
Type adb devices and hit enter, if no devices are listed then ensure USB debugging is switched on in Settings > Development > and tick USB Debugging, then try again.
If it still doesn't appear then download Motorola USB drivers here and try again.
If fine then run:
adb reboot bootloader​Then run the following to flash the stock image:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock​
Flashing userdata.img is going to remove all your files so back everything up first.
This should unroot your Xoom anyway, not entirely sure if the lock is required to receive updates, but it's simple to unlock again.
Once booted and through initial setup you should receive several over the air updates. (I believe the stock image is Android 3.2)
Unlock:
Connect your Xoom again and open command window in the adb-fastboot folder as before.
Run:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot​You'll now be unlocked.
Install Touch Recovery and Root:
Next download ClockworkMod Touch recovery from here, rename it to just recovery.img for simplicity, and copy the image to the adb-fasboot folder.
Download Xoom Universal Root from here.
Copy that file to your sdcard.
Then run:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img​(assuming you renamed it)
Once verified, reboot by holding Volume up and Power. (Keep connected to PC and keep command prompt open)
Important: When you see the Motorola logo wait about 3 seconds and hit volume down. You should see 'Android Recovery' in the top left corner, now press volume up to enter recovery.
From recovery go, Install zip from sdcard > choose zip > and select Xoom-Universal-Root.zip
Important: After the root flashes do not reboot.
Run:
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.old​Then select reboot in ClockworkMod recovery and boot as normal.
If you are unable to use adb in recovery, then you can enable this through Windows by doing the following:
Whilst in recovery and connected to your PC, open Device Manager, find your Xoom, usually under 'Other devices'.
Then right click on your Xoom > Update driver software... > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Pick your Xoom (either one if there's two shown)
Windows should confirm the driver installed then adb should work in recovery.
Finally, run:
adb reboot recovery​If ClockworkMod touch recovery is still there then all is good!
Hopefully I've made sense! Any questions, just ask.
Repeat of downloads:
Download Motorola USB Drivers (Device Manager) here.
Download ClockworkMod Touch recovery here.
Download Xoom Universal Root here.

Wow, what a detailed guide
Thank you sir

No problem!
Let me know how it goes, hopefully shouldn't have any problems.

Resetting worked great :good:
Right now I´m in an OTA marathon
all that unlock, root and recovery stuff sounds familiar so I don´t expect any problems.
Thanks so far :good:

Ok, so this is not working
after I flash touch recovery and do thta reboot thing I can enter touch recovery, thats fine.
Flashing universal root, fine.
THEN,
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.old
gives me error since in recovery mode there ist no adb connection
Whatever when I choose to reboot the system, recovery warns me that it will get overwritten by boot and ask me to disable this.
Shall I do this?
EDIT: Nevermind, I decided to be a little brave and just confirmed that message.
Now touch clockwork seems to be persistent and I´m a happy Xoomer again

Sorry, I had meant to reply during my lunch break.
Edit: Realised the time on the second of your posts, so wouldn't have been much help on my lunch anyway
Well I believe I just learned something new!
Either that or I'd forgotten it asked.
I assume it disables the action rather than deletes those files.
My method was just so you can use the reverse rename in future to re-enable the overwrite on boot.
In future, not that you'll necessarily ever need this information, you can enable adb in recovery through windows by doing the following
When in recovery and connected to your PC, open Device Manager, find your phone, usually under 'Other Devices'.
Then right click > Update driver > Browse my computer > Let me pick from list > Pick your phone (either one if there's two shown)
Should confirm driver installed then adb should work.
I didn't include the above previously as I couldn't remember having to do it personally.
Glad to hear all is well though!

[GUIDE] ZTE Mustang Root (Also known as ZTE Z998)

Hello People of the internet!
Today I will show a quick guide on how to root the ZTE Z998 Mustang phone!
The owner of this method has discontinued work with them so I'll go ahead and pass them on.
I DO NOT TAKE ANY CREDIT AT ALL!!!!!!! ALL CREDIT GOES TO stedman420!!!!!
Original Thread: http://unleashedprepaids.com/thread-8769.html
***REQUIREMENTS***
An AT&T ZTE Mustang Z998
A computer with ADB and Fastboot installed
**HERE'S A COUPLE GUIDES FOR QUICK AND EASY INSTALLATION OF ADB AND FASTBOOT IF NEEDED.**
*WINDOWS*(do not use this to install drivers though)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
*LINUX or MAC*
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638673
**WARNING FOR MAC USERS**
Safari browser settings may need to be changed in order to download zip files without extracting them.
**WARNING FOR WINDOWS USERS**
If using Windows you will also need to install the phones drivers and due to issues with fastboot drivers koush's universal driver is recommended.
http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver
**DO NOT CONTINUE TO THE INSTRUCTIONS UNTIL THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS ARE MET OR THE FOLLOWING WILL MOST LIKELY NOT WORK**
(All downloads will be below)
***INSTRUCTIONS***
1.) Download z998-cwm-recovery.img and place it ON YOUR COMPUTER preferably somewhere easy to remember (i.e. C:\ on windows or home directory on linux)
2.) Download one of the following zips and place it ON YOUR PHONES SDCARD
----SuperSU_v1.86-Z998.zip (only for rooting)
----Unofficial_CWM_Recovery_v6.0.3.7.zip (only for flashing custom recovery)
----Root_and_CWM_Recovery.zip (for both rooting and flashing custom recovery)
----Stock_Z998_Recovery.zip (only for restoring stock recovery)
3.) Plug your phone into computer and make sure Developer options and usb debugging is turned on in the phones settings menu
4.) Now open a terminal(or cmd.exe) on your computer and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then press enter
5.) Once the phone vibrates you should be in fastboot mode. The phone will have a blank screen and the red light will be on.
6.) Now in your computers terminal type
Code:
fastboot boot z998-cwm-recovery.img
then press enter
7.) Your phone should now boot into cwm recovery. Once in recovery volume buttons will scroll up/down and the power button will select options
8.) Now on your phone scroll to and select install zip from sdcard and then find and install the root and/or recovery zip you downloaded in step 2
9.) After installation is complete you can unplug your phone from computer and as always make sure to MAKE A BACKUP using cwm recovery. Then just reboot to system and enjoy
***HELPFUL NOTES***
If you did not put the z998-cwm-recovery.img in your home directory or in your C:\ directory for windows then in step 6 where it says
Code:
fastboot boot z998-cwm-recovery.img
you will need to put in your exact file path to where the z998-cwm-recovery.img is on your computer
For example
Code:
fasboot boot C:\your\path\to\z998-cwm-recovery.img
Where C:\your\path\to\ would be the exact filepath to the z998-cwm-recovery.img on your computer
If using a Mac and you did not follow the guide posted above for setting up adb and fastboot you most likely will need to put ./ in front of your adb and fastboot commands
For example
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Would be
Code:
./adb reboot bootloader
AND
Code:
fastboot boot z998-cwm-recovery.img
Would be
Code:
./fastboot boot z998-cwm-recovery.img
Also the no file_contexts error in cwm recovery can safely be ignored.
***BONUS QUICK TIPS***
**HOW TO MANUALLY BOOT PHONE INTO RECOVERY**
1.) Power phone off
2.) Press and hold volume up, and power button at the same time until your phone boots into recovery
3.) Once in recovery volume buttons scroll and power button will select options.
**HOW TO MANUALLY FLASH STOCK RECOVERY USING A ROOTED PHONE**
1.) Download z998-stock-recovery.img and place it on the root of your phones sdcard (on your sdcard not in any folders)
2.) Download and install Android Terminal Emulator from PlayStore on your phone if you have not already
3.) Open terminal emulator and type
Code:
su
then press enter
4.) Type
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/z998-stock-recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
then press enter

Problem solved
Many people were having problems in the detection of device...i have solved it

Can anyone upload TWRP in Drive or any other place? The box link is all over the internet and is not working as it is out of bandwidth (sucks!). TIA FYI: The box link download button translates to this link

So since no one here seems to have the time or courtesy to provide the link, for the ones who needs it. Here it is.

Thanku soon much bro....just got my YU..will try it later
---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------
Just one question.... Can stock recovery install superuser?

http://forums.yuplaygod.com/#yuphoria.34
Actually why don't you'll try out the forums on YUPLAYGOD....
They have ALL THE POSSIBLE LINKS THERE and everything is functioning properly including links to TWRP and the rooting etc etc...
And it is better to have TWRP installed to flash SUPERSU..
Cheers
Greg

great thanks you for sharing this method, definately i will try :good:

Great work ?

Toolless Mi A1 rooting guide NOOB FRIENDLY (bootloader, twrp, root, rom)

DISCLAMER: DOING THIS MIGHT RESET YOUR PHONE SO PLEASE BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE DOING THIS
now lets get started
download this tool (even if you already have adb and fastboot)*
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
and go to your phone's settings then System > about phone and press on build number until it tells you: "you have developer options"
now go to System > developer options and enable android debugging and OEM Unlocking
now plug your phone into the pc and open the file: "cmd-here.exe" from the tool you downloaded
now type adb devices and it will probably tell you unauthorized, if it does then open your phone and click on accept
if you dont see any thing other than "list of devices attached" then download this
open it and input in, N and then Y so you dont install adb but you do install the phone's drivers
now type adb devices and you should see random numbers, if it says unauthorized just go back to when I said how to fix it
so now that everything is working type in the command prompt: adb reboot bootloader
now you should see a russian cat fixing a android machine with blue text: "FASTBOOT"
now type "fastboot oem unlock" and it should unlock your phone
now type "fastboot reboot"
--------------------------------------------------------
good, Now you have the bootloader unlocked
--------------------------------------------------------
If you are now put in the setup screen don't do it, just shut down your phone and then when it's shutdown hold on the power button and volume down buttons until you enter fastboot again
now go to this page: https://github.com/CosmicDan-Android/android_device_xiaomi_tissot/releases and download the latest boot only and regular versions
put them both in the adb (tool) folder and type in the command prompt: "fastboot boot boot-recovery.img"
if your phone doesnt do anything (doesn't do anything in the 30s after you input the command) then restart it and get it back in fastboot and type fastboot --set-active=b
and then type the previous command again, if that doesnt work then restart your phone back to fastboot again
and then type fastboot --set-active=a and the command "fastboot boot boot-recovery.img" and it should work
so now you will be in twrp, good!
type "adb push (regular twrp zip name, remember to put .zip at the end!) /sdcard/"
example:"adb push TWRP-Installer-3.2.1-with-Tissot-Manager-2.5.zip /sdcard/"
and then in your phone go to install and you should already be in /sdcard if not then go there and then tap on the zip and swipe on the thing
after it finishes installing go to reboot and then tap on recovery
--------------------------------------------
good now you have TWRP installed!
-------------------------------------------
Now its up to you, do you want to install only root or rom and root? its up to you
Root Only:
Download Magisk (you can also use SuperSU but I strongly recommend magisk)
put it in your adb (tool) folder and type "adb push (magisk's zip name, remember to put .zip at the end!) /sdcard/"
example:"adb push Magisk-v17.1.zip /sdcard/"
go to install, press on the zip file and swipe on the thing and click on restart system at the end
and congrats! you have root on your phone!
Rom:
If were talking about a treble rom then you should follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/treble-stock-to-treble-everything-to-t3793734 but if not you can continue using this one
download your favorite rom and download magisk (you can also use SuperSU but I strongly recommend magisk)
also go to opengapps.org choose arm64 and the android version your rom is and I recommend the nano variant
now in twrp tap on Wipe and Advanced Wipe and choose everything there (you dont have to choose micro SDcard tho) and swipe THIS WILL RESET YOUR PHONE AGAIN BUT YOU PROBABLY DONT CARE ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW
now in the command prompt type: "adb push (rom zip name, remember to put .zip at the end!) /sdcard/"
example:"adb push RR-O-v6.1.0-20180709-Official /sdcard/"
and install it, some roms include gapps and other things in their installation for example: pixel experience. but most roms don't have that
so if you check the xda page and they say nothing about including opengapps in the rom then you should be able to fully follow the next steps.
type "adb push (magisk zip name, remember to put .zip at the end!) /sdcard/" and install it
then type "adb push (opengapps zip name, remember to put .zip at the end!) /sdcard/" and install it
now tap on reboot system and congrats! you just rooted and custom rom-ed your phone!
* "even if you already have adb and fastboot" the reason for this is because that link uses the newest version (or new enough) that is surprisingly not common in other places I downloaded adb and fastboot. the new version adds a new command that is used in the guide if you are experiencing a certain problem
I hope I helped you, if you have any questions or problems post them in the comments

a big THANK YOU
Months ago I rooted and installed a new ROM for first time in my life and, although I read another guides, with them I always break my phone, so I must flash and start again. And your guide, 4 months later, saved me again. I don't know why, really. Maybe because is super friendly. But thank you, again. The only thing I'll add is wtf to do when TWRP asks if install in slot a or b because that's the point I always mess it :'(
Thank you forever

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You mean when you flash the rom it asks you which slot to install to?
