So I was on ICS via Roms and after each ROM kept failing on my Xoom I relocked it and restores it to HC via the instructions and tools provided here and on xoomforums.
No problem what so ever except the part where I can't Official ICS on my 4g Xoom. I guess I'm supposed to be on 3.2.6. How do I get there?

Install a custom ROM. Team EOS for one make a good ROM for 4G Xoom.
Maybe OTA isn't released for your 4G country yet.

so.. i bought my nexus s 4g today, it will be here in a little over a week. do you guys think we will have full root access and maybe a stock rom that we can tweak by then?
i assume clockwork will be the recovery we will need to use? sorta excited here.
all i need is a stock rooted rom and a custom kernel with sbc and ill take care of the themeing.
we also are going to need a cdma section on here for the nexus s.
Excited huh?
Assuming existing CWM recovery works, all you have to do to root is use fastboot to unlock bootloader and flash CWM recovery, then in CWM flash the SuperUser zip. That's it!
SBC is an HTC thing. You won't find it around here.
Get your Android SDK ready now, and you be rooted within 10 minutes of getting the phone!

actually i was hoping some new nexus s 2.3.4 owner might be able to tell me if gingerbreak.apk works on 2.3.4, because if that works then its perfect for people just looking for root...

like i said we will need a cdma section here for rooting & flashing the recovery/roms.
i hope we get some decent devs for the phone as well. i see netarch makes some kernels for gsm.
How did you order it already? ? I though it comes out the 8th.

hello, I'm considering putting CM 7 on wifes phone. MY does not have an "update"package which would receive an OTA. Will a custom ROM inhibit this rather remote possibility. I think if this phone ever gets an update it will be via a computer update program and not OTA.

Yes it will block ota's. It will never have 2.3 unless you put cm-7 on there it seems.

The CM 7 vs Stock ROM for activation.
The CM 7 ROMS do not do activation/ provisioning right? One has to go to Stock to do that?.
Thanks

You are correct. That's a good reason to always have a stock ROM (or backup) at least on standby if necessary.
I find stock ROM easy to backup and restore, the problem for me is the recovery. I'd like to be able to backup my recovery and make a flash able zip.just don't know how to.

You mean, the recovery you boot into? There should be no reason for you to change it very much.. Although didn't b_randon14 manage it? I don't think it's possible, as up until this point I've never seen a flashable Recovery.
I recommend miui for MT. It works really well. And lasts me about all day. I'm using the 10/28 update

Haven't used my xoom for a while now. I had it rooted with a ics rom. It wad really buggy so I flashed back to out of the box stock. Updates showed up to being me up too honeycomb but after being connected to wifi for a day still have not had the ota for ics show up. Is there a way to force the ota update? Or do I still just have to wait. I don't plan on rooting it again unless I have to so I can get the update.

I have had a number of Xooms and when I set them back to stock and non root using the guide on XDA they have continued to upgrade through each version right up to the current JB, one after the other. It has never failed.
Yeah I am running the viper Rom for the Verizon droid DNA and I got pushed an update from Verizon? Is it ok for me to download that or should I not since I am running the Rom. Weird that it even got pushed to me I thought.. any help would be great thanks

If you want to use the update, I would just manually flash it, not download it OTA (of course, you wouldn't be using the custom ROM any more after doing that).
Hi guys, question...up to now haven't had an issue flashing various custom ROMS on my Tab 2, but the latest PAC ROM is throwing a Status 7 error in CW Recovery so I think I need to update my Recovery....what's the latest/greatest version working for us and best place to find it?
