Hello all,
I'm a newbie. My Xoom pop-up many times to update to 4.0.3 and I cancel it many times but I don't know why one day I power it on and see it's version is 4.0.3
Now I want to downgrade Xoom from 4.0.3 to 3.2 like when I bought it. Would someone please show me how to do that! Thanks in advance
Can i ask why you'd want to do that, hc is horrible ics is far better. Suited for the xoom imo, just curious why youd want to downgrade

Hello,
I am brand new to this forum and I apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere... I just purchased a samsung galaxys3 and i rooted the phone in order to get my MOGA controller to work with all of my games. I am not a very experienced user when it comes to these things, but everything turned out ok and I was able to use the controller the way I wanted... however, last night Verizon updated my phone to Jellybean 4.1.1 and after the update I no longer have root access Is there a fix for this? I already tried to redo the root process and it is not working. I have the super user app reinstalled but it tells me it does not have superuser permissions... I just wanna play my games. lol... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

OTA updates usually remove the root. U gotta root it over again. Not with the old procedure u might have used to root when it was on ics. It won't work on 4.1. Use method specific for 4.1. Look into ur respected forum for the steps.

Hello guys
First of all I want to mention that i'm not a phone or software expert, I may have really STUPID questions but i'm trying to find help.
I have a nice little ace phone and i'm having a lot of issues with my phonememory.. I had to delete more and more apps now I still have two..
and there are still issues with that memory
- I would like to know how I can update my android version? I know there is no official update available for my phone..
- Is it safe to update my version? What are the risks?
- Where can I get the update? 4.0 .. 4.1
I hope somebody can inform me? :fingers-crossed:
Thank you for your help!
The first step you need to take is figuring out how to get root access on your phone. After that, look for the updated android version for your phone.
I would start out by reading through this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145

Hi,
I own a GT P5100 running 4.0.3 android.
I had rooted it with the help of a thread on this forum.
Now, when I connect to Wifi, the Tab downloads JB update...but it is unable to install that update.
Can u tell me the reason?
Also, is there any newer update [official or unofficial] than JB?
How can I upgrade to it?
I'm fairly new to this rooting/flashing etc.
Thanks for ur help
temember that JB is 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 recently an update show up (in france) the 4.2.2 JB, this is (and will be) the last update for the tab,
im not an expert but maybe you can't update because the root, if you want to update you may unroot or use ODIN (but will not be root after the update, unless you port the root with an app)
thx for ur reply...
So whr can I find the latest update?
And how to go about UNRooting -> Updating -> ROOTing ?

As fabrihn said earlier 4.2.2 is the last update for galaxy tab 2 from samsung , but you can always flash custom roms like cyanogenmod to get the newest android versions (p.s. cyanogenmod 10.2 gives you the andoid 4.3 version ).
And to port root the best app is MOBILE ODIN PRO !!! It is actually a mobile version of the odin software and with it you can directly flash files from your mobile .It gives the option to root your new firmware while it is being flashed.

thanks kunjcool :good:
techack did you read the last link i let you? in there there is also a way to root after upgrade even over 4.2.2, and as kunjcool say there are also custom rooms that you can flash, in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1602 (android development section)
Thanks for your reply.
I have installed Cyanogen Mod 10.1 ... android 4.2.2
however when I connect my tab to PC, it doesnt get displayed as "Removable Storage"
Is it due to installing ADB Universal driver?
How can I correct it?
Also, when I POWER ON the device, the screen displays distorted colours and then starts up with CYANOGEN Logo...Is it possible to correct it as well?
That is happening because you haven't enabled USB DEBUGGING on your device. To do so you have to Go to developer settings, but by default it is hidden, to use DEVELOPER SETTINGS
Go to SETTINGS
ABOUT TABLET
and click BUILT NUMBER 7 times to unhide DEVELOPER SETTINGS option. Now you are done
And yes for the boot screen logo either use custom boot screen logo zip file and replace with original or try reading the forum post of that ROM which you are using and ask there.
Hope that was helpful to you.
