new to xoom need help - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi im new to xoom and need some help i have the xoom2 and i carnt seem to find how to root it and any roms ect just woundering if anyone can help as its totally different to what im use too lol (coming from samsung galaxy note) :laugh:

There are no roms or recoveries for the xoom 2. There is little to no development for it. My suggestion? Return it and get a different tablet if development is important to you.

Right, exchange it for the xoom wifi. Excellent support and development for it

If you flash something with Odin or mobile Odin, the flash counter will increase
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Tripping the flash counter is only an issue though if i plan to take my tab back to the store? Or does that have implications with it even if i dont try to return it or exchange? I dont plan on returning my tab soon just currently the only available root method for the sch-i705 is by odin

The app ''TriangleAway'' by chainfire resets the flash counter. here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Triangle away works amazingly well. I use it on my phone to get rid of the yellow triangle thats caused by flashing. I will use it on my tab if I ever need to send it back. Chainfire is an awesome developer.

Flashed JB back to ICS but want Root
Been combing thru the developer section for hours. Of course, you have to almost go back to September for ICS related stuff. But, only saw the rom, recovery & root rom for JB. Where is the one for ICS? Even some of the custom tweaked roms for ICS now have dead links. I have root explorer and want to take some of the crap off and add some stuff.
I didn't like JB because of the GUI the notification bar was awkward and not sized right. Didn't like the screenshot softkey being gone either. The youtube buffering and connectivity was a turn off too plus the battery drain. I got 8 hrs on JB and 13 hrs on ICS. I would love to root and or put on a custom rom, any suggestions?
so i'm gonna be getting this tab in a couple weeks, and i have never had a multi version tab before (wifi onlyversion, and different carrier versions).
i found this thread, and i'm glad i did. my first question about this tab, is development related. i want to know how the community is, and how active it is. i quickly looked through the dev section and it seemed pretty positive, but it was just a quick look, so not a very accurate perception.
secondly, my question is on different twiz versions, are all stock images rootable in the same way? or are some versions more difficult to root? and i don't care about flash counters as the device is a glorified secondhand device.
and finally, just wondering how others like this tab, i don't want to start a war, or anything. just wondering about the device, because i'm new to samsung tabs.
besides that, i'm looking forward to being a part of this community.

There isnt a whole lot of development for the 10.1 version. But all of the man stuff is there and awesome. Its very easy to root on all versions of twiz. I personally love the device. I have the 5113 version which has an infrared blaster which is very useful to me. The specs arent spectacular but I havent slowed my tab down even playing high quality games. Im currently on stock jb rooted with twrp as my recovery. I havent overclocked yet either. Dont have the need for it currently

Galaxy tab 2 p3110 3G + WIFI has two problems after rooting.
I recently got a samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 P3100 and rooted it with cwm and everything was ok. Next day, i decided to upgrade os to Jelly Bean but i copied the file to internal sd card instead of the external one, In order to correct this, i removed the ext sd card while the pad was still connected to the laptop and copied the files through the card reader of the laptop, put back the card in the tab before disconnecting. Now I completed the upgrading process, but instead of the jelly bean, i got the ICS. In download mode the laptop recognised the tab and I've flashed with odin two more time.I've rebooted in recovery mode twice without luck.
These are the problems:
PROBLEM 1. back and since then my laptop can't see the tab, I've done kies, reloaded usb drivers etc, no luck.
PROBLEM 2. In-coming calls are blocked but I can call out.
PLease help.

Possible to add cwm after SGT2 7.0 already rooted?

Probably one of the noobist questions to start off with but I need the answer or pointed in the right direction if at all possible, many many thanks in advance.
As you can see by the tittle i already have my galaxy tab 2 7.0 rooted (3113) and totally blanked on rooting with cwm. So how can I do it without having to restart the root process all over again?
Again much thanks is given for all help.
I used mobile Odin to flash the cwm zip back. That worked for me.

Mobile Odin will work... However you'll want to run it in odin and flash CWM.
No you don't have to start the root process over again. I am assuming your stock rooted?

You can go for CM10.1..But I personally like stock..So rooted with unbloated Stock.
I kept reading that stock is best still for maintaining gaming levels (gaming usually pushes a system to its limits more so that anything else). I only just got my sgt2 so im in no rush. Yet

From what I've read IR Blaster is only working on select ROMs. Dunno if that's important to you.

Very cool seeing this forum getting started. I've had my Tab 3 7.0 for about a month and while I like it having a couple of other Tablets and two smartphones I'd almost forgotten how miserable it is working with a non-rooted device. Almost 90% of my apps require root so at the moment the Tab 3 is just a toy to play a few minor games on, looking forward to seeing this fourum getting rolling with some excellent Devs and great mods.
Thanks to all you guys and gals who do such great work and rarely get thanked or compensated for it. If a dev does some good work for you and you aren't on the donation list then consider what your getting and why you think it should be free. Nothing, including your phones or tablets are free, why should these devs, who bring your device to full functionality, not at least be worthy of a few dollars donation???
Geez, I sure got up on my soap box today, guess I'm just so grateful to see the beginnings of a journey into great work on the Tab 3 I just wanted to remind folks that our Devs work hard and they deserve a few tangible thank you's. Sorry about the soap box, just happy to see us getting started!!!!!!!!!

The recovery for the tab3 8.0 using TWRP works and is 100% functional. I have it running and full root on the tab3 8.0
The 8.0 is running 4.2.2 while the 7.0 is running 4.1.2 so besides that the processor is different as the boot and kernel which makes some differences and more all around Dev work.
Triangle Away and any other method to go back to factory and remove custom device status is not available for either device so at the moment if you root you can't go back. Hopefully it is only a matter of time before all tab3's can be fully utilized.

yeah i am hopeing to port over the galaxy rom for the p51xx i saw it had the phone app and would love to add it to this one also this will be my first time making a rom but seeing as how we do not have one for our tablets its a start at least after its started maybe someone with more knowledge will pick it up and run with it.
ok finally out of factory mode jesus christ it took 100 internet searches and thousand of useless pages to find two useful ones that could help. One of them on here and the other on w0lfdroid for how to fix it. If anyone is wondering the old galaxy tab generic imei trick does not work.

Looking for developer - ZTE Avail/Merit

I have a zte avail. (although my primary phone is my lg thrive p506)
And yes it has been rooted, with lots of problems, because there isnt any good developers who would like to take on this job and bask in fame and glory.
It is a great device, and since it comes with 2.3.3 as a stock rom, im sure we could get atleast 4.0 on it, maybe even higher. IF SOMEONE TRIED.
im a developer my self, but im not good with roms. and i hope, this message is clear enough - please someone help, im pretty sure people like me will donate money to you to buy the darn device and actually tinker with it so that we can actually use the phone with the latest android version.
Thank you
Hey I've got an avail 2 that I've been working on and I could defiantly use a hand too. I'm stuck in the at&t load screen and the stock recovery does nothing. Where can I find stock image and what is ftp mode for? Adb? Rsd?
