Sorry meant to mention I have a 3G Xoom. Does that update work for 3G or only WiFi Xooms?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Quoted from posted thread:
IMPORTANT NOTE: This update is for the US Xoom Wi-Fi MZ604 with Android 3.1 ONLY!!! As of v05 of this update, the update script performs NO CHECKS of files before flashing rooted stock 3.2 system and boot images. This means it won't stop you from flashing on a Xoom 3G; it will just flash and you're left with the mess, if any. Please proceed only if you're tech-savvy with Android and the Xoom, ready to restore to stock 3.1 in case of issues, and good at troubleshooting. Please provide feedback and corrections, and I'll update the post as quickly as I can. Thanks!

Why not just flash one of the Tiamat 3.2 Roms? Easy way to get the best of all possible worlds, since you're already rooted.
I'm absolutely happy with the 2.3.5 BUT i some how lost access to my SuperUser.. Does anyone know what additional software to root 2.3.5 gingerbread for Samsung Infuse? I would deeply appreciate the help
You can't root 2.3.5
As far as I know, the only way you can root 2.3.5 at the moment is to install JordanElliott's 2.3.5 rom (UCKJ1). You'll need clockworkmod rom manager to flash the rom and then the stock kernal to fix the wifi. It was relatively painless.

I haven't seen anything about an official release. The latest leak makes it seem like we are really close though since it includes a bootloader.
I'm sure when the sources are released and the real update is out everyone will know

A. look for threads with titles about the firmware toy are running, b. look for threads about issues rooting, c. How are you running 2.3.5? Did you flash it? Did it get pushed to your phone? Did you buy it like that? Did you buy it new?
If you flashed it with Odin and can't figure this out or find the answer i'm in awe, the answer is in every leak thread so far but the question keeps coming up.
Use SuperOneClick v2.2 and use zergRush as the exploit.
Heck...where dud u get 2.3.5? I want it..lol...yea SOC works good...

i got it from a guy on youtube, type in "Tutorial-samsung infuse" an its an indian fella doing a walkthrough and has the links for it. BUT i cant root my phone because of the update... I tried the zergrush with superoneclick and it locked up on my computer.
ANY suggestions
OK I saw the video.
1. This is not an official update.
2. This is a leaked firmware.
3. Try using super one click on a different PC.

I just got my Skyrocket and tried to get the update to 2.3.6. However, my phone says that I have the latest version of Android. Did AT&T stop the OTA updates?
Also, I read somewhere on this forum that you can't do the One-click or easy root if you're on 2.3.6.
I'm very new to all of this. So the questions are: do I want/need the 2.3.6 update and should I apply this update?

Only update you need is ICS and I believe Att&t pulled the 2.3.6 update...
Thanks. My next decision to make is how to root this baby and whether or not I should go with one of the custom ROMs.
What's the easiest way to root the Skyrocket? Can it be unrooted in case I want to return or exchange it? What's the slickest ROM to use right now (I recently read about Mervin's)? What do I need to do in order to ensure I can go back to stock 2.3.5 when I want to?
Sorry for all the questions. I've been reading a lot, but much of it is over my head. The only thing I've rooted before is my nook, and I downloaded a custom ROM with STEP-BY-STEP instructions that a child could follow. It worked great, but I have very little understanding about what I actually did.
My skyrocket updated to 2.3.6, and I have tried a couple of the one click root methods, and they dont seem to be working for me. I don't know if thats just me, my specific phone, or the fact that it upgraded to 2.3.6. I don't see any difference between 2.3.5 and 2.3.6, so I might avoid it for the moment and use the one click root methods. Those will let you unroot too if you want to upgrade to ICS or such when they become available.
On that note, anyone know how to root 2.3.6?
Use Odin root method from dev. section.

Thanks. What's the benefit of this method over easy root?
Yeah, I'm aware of the Odin method. But its def not as user friendly. Seeing as I don't know alot about how it works, and since no one seems to agree about if it triggers the ROM counter, I was hoping there was a simpler way. Dumb 2.3.6
If you're on 2.3.5, you can easily root with Shortfuse SuperOneClick 2.2 package... Then try to do the OTA 2.3.6. That's what I did and I didn't lose root after the 2.3.6 OTA. You need to be on stock 3e recovery (I was). I read a few folks couldn't take the 2.3.6 OTA when they had CWM Recovery.

If you're still on 2.3.5 I found THIS METHOD to work easily. Dont think it'll work on 2.3.6 though.
It's also got an UNROOT feature that may come in handy if you need to exchange your phone.

I don't see the update. Says my phone is current on 2.3.5
Did anyone ever figure out EXACTLY what 2.3.6 changed?
My first SR I updated to 2.3.6 but it developed a sleep death problem so I exchanged it.
My replacement is 2.3.5 and software update says it's current.
So the 2.3.6 update option is gone for me too.

Must have been issues with it, and AT&T pulled it.

My original also locked up, crashed, rebooted a couple times for no apparent reason either. So something was wrong with it, no doubt.
My replacement hasn't done any of that stuff...... yet.

To answer your question, for me the 2.3.6 GPS performance is much improved from 2.3.5 (and I thought 2.3.5 was already good!). After upgrading to 2.3.6, my I727-SR started recognizing(In View) 23 satellites and locking 13, with accuracy to 9ft, within 4 seconds... crazy fast and accurate.
No 2.3.6 OTA for me either, newly acquired SR on Dec 6, 2011.
Does anyone know why the OTA update was pulled? Or how to get an answer to this?
I'm running Alien 4 based on KK1 2.3.6 and it is running great aside from some issues with Bluetooth in my car. Call quality is improved and data speeds are much faster.
2.3.6 was buggy.
I use my SGSII for support for my company. We have an Exchange server for Email (Outlook) and use Outlook 365 profiles now. By policy, for security reasons, only administrators have web access, we can access Email through our secure devices - meaning corporate laptops and our cell phones (which are secured via Exchange policies).
The 2.3.6 update broke the Exchange Email support entirely, if you are an Outlook 365 user at minimum.
This is all devices running 2.3.6.
My skyrocket updated to 2.3.6, and I haven't had any issues (there is a funny bug in auto brightness at 10% battery, but thats all I've noticed). It has always seemed stable to me. Some people have speculated that the update was for specific phones (with certain IMEI codes) instead of pulling the update for issues.

Hi!
For those of us with SBK v2...should we just upgrade to last OTA?
As in those working on achieving root will focus on ICS
What do you think?
If root is important I wouldn't upgrade until you know for certain ICS can be rooted. You'll simply lose your options if it's a problem.
its the bootloader that needs cracking, not the OS.

This is a question, not a statement but wouldn't keeping to a rootable rom with SBK2 still make sense? I could use Razorclaw with my tab until 8.6.5.21 but had to downgrade (a struggle) in order to reroot after update.
This is and has always been the solution for a device so difficult to root (you don't just oem unlock from fastboot!!!!).
Never flash anything that itself doesn't contain :
- Insecure kernel
- Superuser.apk
- Superuser binary
- Busybox
- FOTAKILL.apk
Which is essentially a custom rom even if otherwise stock.
For ICS - wait for the download to be intercepted from cache (OTA) or available on ASUS website in full and then let someone do the rooting of the ROM - just has someone like daoist has for TF.

ICS is just as simple to root as any other Android OS as far as the ROM goes. New kernels ranging 3.08 through 3.16 at present have the same structure for ro.secure=0 for making them insecure - they are the only real different bit. The ROMs vary little to GB or froyo in their build up.
I've rooted and insecured a couple of Nexus S ROMs on the Nexus S forum just to help people who don't want the pain of going back to stock, reinstalling CWM and root just to be able to use ICS (along with deodex, zipalign and small systemui.apk tweaks).

I would get root ASAP and go to something like Prime 2.11.
Use the 8.6.6.19 update bought to light by pjfriend get rooted ASAP I suppose. Do it whilst the tools are available to do it and then protect it by going to custom ROM.

Hello,
First, DO NOT Apply ASUS's ICS Upgrade when it comes out, let the development community work on it first.
Almost EVERY Android Device has been rooted, even when it is unrootable. It just takes time
Don't rely on the devs to help you when you already have the tools to help yourself!
For a while now people have been used to applying the OTA update and then relying on the dev community to root it again and reinstall CWM. This is pants-on-head retarded, guys. Why root it and install CWM in the first place if you're not going to use it? You have the powah!
First, get yourself to 8.6.5.19 (or 8.6.6.19, depending on your model)
Root it with Razorclaw.
Install Clockworkmod.
NEVER EVER APPLY AN OTA UPDATE FROM NOW ON
When ASUS releases a new update, someone will make a CWM version of it (that someone lately has been me ). All you have to do is wait for it to be posted, then flash it via clockworkmod. Bam! You get the update and you get to keep root.
I think what happens is people get antsy when a new update comes out and go all willy nilly installing stuff just to have it lol. So people dont go all willy nilly just wait a day or 2!

I need the dlpkgfile for your device in order to make a CWM package that will work. Lots of people are interested in the WW variant, so I've been able to do those. There's a few other variants I know of, like DE and TW. I don't think they make a UK; you're probably on the WW.

Can you downgrade from 8.6.5.21? I OTA'd with the assumption that I would still be able to root it. I know that B70 tablets with. 21 aren't rootable.

You can "upgrade" to 8.6.6.19 worldwide if you have a supported tablet.
If with the upgrade to ICS there is no format of the system partition involved, then it should be possible with OTA Rootkeeper to keep root after upgrade.
Oh god please help me!
-- Have Droid RAZR Maxx HD on Verizon
-- Was rooted on 4.1.1
-- Followed instructions on here to keep root while upgrading to 4.1.2
-- Mistake I seem to have made ---> took the upgrade from the Motorola Utility when connected to PC instead of OTA
-- Now when I go to Voodoo ... there is no option to restore root!
Please god help me ... I really need root... :crying::crying::crying:
Any kind soul have a step by step instructions for me to get root back??
Need to be a little more specific on your device brand. Like if your on the xt926 consumer edition like me then your stuck on 4.1.2 because u can't downgrade ur firmware to go back to ICS and get root.
However dev editions or other variants may be able to obtain root again.

BTW .. why is rooting Motorola such a pain ... I love this phone for it's battery life but I may go back to Samsung phones ... at least there it's crazy easy to root, change roms, etc.
Rooting Motorola is such a pain because of the locked boot loader IMO. I have root because instead of flashing the new update I used voodo and took it strictly ota with my 4.1.1 rooted device.
