Hi all,
I recently unlocked my VZW Xoom using the OEM unlock instructions found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967065
I then downloaded the most recent CWM (3.025) and followed the instructions found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038870
I was able to write CWM to the recovery partition with no errors showing in either ADB or on the device itself. I verified the checksum of recovery.img.
What happens now is that when I reboot to recovery from ADB, the red Moto logo shows up, and at first everything looks good. At the top it says "Reading ODM fuse 1".
Then, a green Android logo with a yellow exclamation mark on it appears over a black screen. It looks like some sort of error message. I have CWM on my phone so I know this isn't what it's supposed to look like
In any case, has anyone else seen this issue (or better yet, know how to fix it)? I should point out that after a few minutes, the Xoom automatically boots into HC and works just fine.
it kind of sounds like the recovery didn't flash. Have you tried to flash it again?

Hi - thanks for the response.
Yes, I've tried that, rebooted the device, rebooted the PC, tried it again, etc. Still no dice
does it still boot? if so try installing rom manager and using it to flash CWR

Yep, it still boots. I've never used ROM manager, but I did happen to just download it. I'll give that a shot.
Two other things I didn't mention in the OP:
- I do not have an SD Card in the slot.
- I also didn't 'root' the phone yet with the SuperUser APK, only unlocked the bootloader. Would either of those cause the issue?
I believe you have to root to flash recovery. Here is an easy way to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196 its the one click method just make sure your not doing anything else while running

Already in the works I'll let you know how it turns out.
Initially, it seems odd that ADB/fastboot wouldn't return an error if root is needed for flashing recovery. Time will tell...

Root was the answer. Duh. I feel dumb now.
Either way, once I get to 10 posts, I can post in the dev forum thread to make it clear that root, not just OEM unlock, is required to flash CWM so that dummies like me can get things working quickly
nice, glad that you got it working.
Be sure to install Tiamat 1.31 so you can use your SD card and get full access to CWM
Rom Manager question
Has anyone found a way to allow Rom Manager to "Manage Backups"? It appears that it isn't pointing to the correct directory/ folder.
Had the same issues after installing CWM from ROM Manager - used the adb method instead and this fixed the issue. (Xoom was already rooted and OEM unlocked)
It looks like we got our Christmas present a little early!
This is the rooted 8.6.5.21 rom. I just added su and Superuser. It does not overwrite recovery or the bootloader, so it should play nicely with razorclaw. Regardless, flash at your own risk. If in doubt, don't flash it.
This is the full rom, not the update. It is not deodexed, and it might even have carrier iq installed???!!! I only added root.

hehe Honeycomb.
Awesome, thanks.
How does the US version compare to the UK one?
Also do I have to somehow flash to a .19 stock then root to flash this? (I haven't got mine yet).
The US rom has 25% more Android! magic in it. There might be other differences as well.
The newer tablets will be locked, so you have to root through .19.

cwm required to flash ?
nevermind, it does
I have a question. Say I have a B60 that was rooted via apx. I can't update. If I were to flash this rom, will I lose all my apps, data, etc.?
Actually, anyone has a cwm flashable zip for this update?

This is the cwm flashable zip. It only flashes the system and boot, so data and recovery are untouched.
As far as not being able to update, I'm not sure what that means without more details.

It means how it sounds. I can't seem to OTA update while rooted. I rooted via apx. B60. The update process always ends up with an exclamation point next to an android, meaning it can't update.
Apologies for my ignorance.

Got it- you can't update via the OTA. This will flash through clockworkmod recovery (or any non-stock recovery) and you will have a stock .21 system as if you had upgraded via the OTA from a stock .19 rom. System apps will be updated, but data and recovery will be unchanged.
If you are getting an exclamation point, it sounds like you have the stock recovery. You would need to install clockworkmod or some other recovery first.
I hope that's clear. Lastly, this is the US version.

Try mounting your system partition, then flashing. It does take a few minutes and the progress bar will seem a bit slow or stuck.

I started with the OTA and then unzipped it. There is a blob and a bunch of patches. I unpacked the blob and made the boot.img/blob.LNX insecure, and repacked this into boot.img. then I took the patches and applied them to the stock system. This is the tricky part because I used a script to parse the updater-script to generate two scripts. The first one would identify and copy all the files that are scheduled to be patched. I then transfered all the files and the second script to my transformer. On the device, I ran the second script with applies that patch using the same binary that the recovery uses. The output from this all goes back to my computer where the patched files are re-united with the files that did not require a patch. Now, in the home stretch, I added Superuser.apk and the su binary. I adjusted the updater script to set permissions correctly for those two additions and added a little holiday cheer. Finally, I zipped up the whole thing and signed it.
The reason for doing it this way is that I can "apply" the ota to a copy of the system, rather than the system I have installed on my TF. It sounds complex and convoluted, but it really takes about 30 mins to an hour.

Please forgive my ignorance. I just want to be sure. Is the following right?
Boot into cwm. Mount system partition. Back out and flash rom.
Is that right?
Check the device firmware type by going to Setting - about tablet - built number
Download the right firmware pack for your device.
http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_Infinity_TF700T/#download
Now extract the zip file and you will have another zip file.
Rename that zip file as "EP201_768_SDUPDATE" and place it to an external sd card if you do not have a custom recovery. If you are rooted and unlocked plus you have a custom recovery you don't need to rename it you can place it in internal sd is well.
Now turn off your device. Hold power button including the volume down button and enter custom recovery. For stock recovery it should detect it automatically and will install. once in custom recovery clear your cache and install the file with the name above or whatever name you have. once installation is complete. reboot the system be patient and you have the latest update.
You can obtain root easily using this method.
Just download the DebugfsRoot_Generic_v2.3.zip file from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1706588
extract the content and run RootDebugfs, then follow the on screen instruction and you will have root.
Make sure you have USB debugging on.
To get custom recovery. Download goomanager from playstore and you can install TWRP recovery from the option list. which is Option - install OpenRecoveryScript.
I am not responsible if you mess up your device. do these at your own risk. Nonetheless these steps work perfectly for me.
Renaming is not needed.

Wrong, flashing an official rom will make you loose the custom recover too, you will have a clean stock rom once you do that. AND also this thread has nothing to share with the development forum.

Where in there? Can;t find it?
1) If I am on a custom ROM can I flash the new update or I have to go back to STOCK first?
2) What's the big deal with loosing CWR and Root, it takes like 2 min to put it back, I mean there is another way to not loose it?
Thanks
I also have a question! Will this allow for OTA updates even if our bootloader is unlocked? And will we be able to flash the JB update from ASUS manually if not? Anyone know?

No. when you unlocked it clearly stated no more ota updates for you.
Yes. of course you can flash manually just like any other rom.

You don't need to have stock rom. As long as you have the stock kernel your ok. You will of course lose custom recovery but its easy to download again as i have mentioned in my first post.
There is a lengthy way to do this. But why do that when it takes you literally 2 minute to root it with DebugfsRoot .
Hope it went well for you.

Whatever you installed, it's not my rom. I'm just trying to help users along. Not a single dev bone in my body ?
So how did you solve your recovery flash trouble? Post it so others can learn from it.
If you flashed the Asus apps they should be in your app drawer??
If you are unlocked you can just flash the SuperUser.zip from the chainfire su on xda to root as well.

rom2sd1.zip has nothing to do with this... Why are you flashing it?
You flashed the Asus apps in recovery and went through the Aroma installer to select those you want?
Don't know if the installer gives you the option to save the installation log at the end. Look for it, flash again.
