Now that we finally have SD card support (big thanks to the guys working on the custom kernel). Is anyone working on ClockworkMod for the Xoom? I remember reading this way back when it just released.
Motorola XOOM rooted and clockworkmod installed
When a new device like the Xoom hits the market everyone wonders how long it will take to get root and another recovery on the new device. For the Xoom it is less then 24 hours after official launch and it has now been rooted and has a version of clockworkmod recovery on it. This was all done by Koushik Dutta, the wonder dev that brings ROM Manager and clockworkmod recovery. At this time clockworkmod recovery doesn’t do a whole lot since the sd card slot has not been turned on yet. That should change just as soon as Motorola rolls out the software update enabling that slot.
In case you have a desire to root your new toy you can follow his directions which I am posting below. Just make sure to thank koush for all of this.
Root Instructions:
# Download the Xoom root zip.
# Unzip the package.
# Put your junk in the box.
adb reboot bootloader (skip the next 3 steps if you have already unlocked via fastboot)
fastboot oem unlock
# wait for reboot
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
fastboot reboot
# wait for reboot
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin
adb shell ln –s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

The author of cwm no longer has a xoom. But maybe if you ask him nicely, he will put it out there.
Just sent Koushik Dutta an e-mail informing him of the microSD support.
I will keep you guys updated if I hear any replies.

From what I remember reading the threads a few weeks back, there were some other individuals who had the CWM for the Xoom. Koush handed it off to a few select people before he returned his Xoom. It wasn't disseminated to the masses because of the lack of SD... But it IS out there somewhere.

Ahhh this is so exciting! I am getting impatient and can't wait!!! I really really need to do nandroid backups!!!!!
Same here. With Tiamat 1.3.1 there is no reason cwm shouldn't see sdcard2 in sdcard. Just takes a bit more navigation. Hopefully we can get the bootstraper soon!
Just wanted to say thanks for working on it, and that I, too, am looking forward to cwm on my xoom. Stuff like this and people like you are what makes android great!

We shouldn't need a bootstrapper. Should be able to flash recovery directly.

As of right now, CWM doesn't see it. That being said there are people working on it. Getting the recovery img on is pretty easy in fastboot. The hardest thing we will have is the wifi only version has no boot to recovery. You have to be in the os to get back to recovery. The 3g on the other hand, has a boot to recovery option at boot.

For Wifi version: Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of CWM if we can't access it preOS? What happens if we are unable to load the OS and we want to restore a nandroid backup?

Talk to Motorola. The 3g you can turn on and hit the volume down button after about 5 seconds and it will bring you to a menu to select nvflash, rsd, fastboot or recovery. On the wifi only recovery isn't one of the options.

Wow, I can't believe they would get rid of a low level feature like that. So technically nandroid backups are useless then since they can't be flashed while the OS is running anyways?
First the Galaxy Tab and now we can have the 3.2 Honeycomb Xoom.
Big Thanks to mdj and the rest of the virtuous team we already have HC3.2 Cheers guys for your fantastic work

Just follow the instructions carefully and you will be fine.
Its not that hard really,
1. Root your device
2. Install Acer Recovery Installer from Market
3. Install the Clockwork image IN THE Acer Recovery Installer
4. Download the wished custom rom and place it in your EXTERNAL SD CARD
5. Enter Acer Recovery Installey either via the App itself which has the option 'enter recovery' or turn off your device and press Power and Volume - together until the recovery appears or the text in the upper left corner.
6. Once in recovery use the volume and power buttons to navigate. First highlight and press Wipe data/factory reset and then do the the same for Wipe Cache Partition.
7. Navigate to Install zip from External SD Card, enter and navigate to the zip file and press enter (power button is enter)
And thats it. Here is a video of clockwork and how to do it

Do that last, as you want itsmagic to calculate checksums.
Personally, though.. Why replace it? I'd leave CWM on there.

Thanks again! I thought it was mandatory to replace the recovery image; but if it's not then I'd rather leave CWM. You're a good man! Thanks for the help.
My apologies guys, I wrote the whole thing pretty fast.
I actually meant Acer Recovery Installer (thats where you can boot into Recovery), I got confused.
Thanks for adding the info.

When you do a full backup using cwm, does it backup everthing..? Like a complete image of the device in which you restore and everthing is back..? Or is it just a backup of the Operating System. Thanks

Full backup stores everything, including all your settings, installed applications and so on. I just tried it myself earlier because I didn't find the answer elsewhere
Here's a question that I asked back when I was using Virtuous Galaxy and definitely applies with Virtuous Xoom: Is it possible to successfully use the Motorola Xoom recovery found in Rom Manager? I flashed it but have not had the guts to use it within Rom Manager (sticking with Acer Recovery). Thanks and sorry if it is a dumb question. BTW, I love Virtuous Xoom at least as much as Virtuous Picasso and more than Virtuous Galaxy! I upgraded from 1.0.7 to 1.1.0 with only wipes of cache and Dalvik Cache......so far so great!

I've done it a few times and it backs up everything, apps and settings and all. It makes it really easy to revert to a previous setup if you don't like the rom you just installed.

DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR TABLET!
The A500 uses a checksum to validate its ROM. This checksum must be recalculated when you flash and we use the "itsmagic" program to do it. Only the A500 custom version of Clockwork Mod runs that automatically. If you flash with anything else, and itsmagic isn't run, you'll have an expensive tea tray.

with the amount of information available in these forums, needless threads clogs things up and makes it harder for people to find helpful information.

Boots for me, lasts about 15 seconds, then the phone hard reboots back to the Dual Core screen. After that it never gets past the CM7 boot animation.
My install method:
1. Boot to Fastboot
2. fastboot erase boot
3. fastboot erase system
4. fastboot erase userdata
5. fastboot erase cache
6. boot into recovery (5.0.2.0 from Rom Manager)
7. Install zip from SD Card
8. Choose the Correct zip
9. Install it
10. Check log for errors (none)
11. Boot
I'm going to try the recovery linked on the download page for Pre-Beta4. I'll post my progress as edits on this post so that it will (hopefully) help others who run into the same issue without them having to search too much.
edit1: Didn't mention that I did the steps listed above twice and had it lock up after 15 seconds both times.
edit2: Linked recovery on the download page did the same thing, however I did end up getting it to work.
**FIX** For those with this problem. After you install the ROM, boot up, hang, and get stuck at the boot animation... go recovery again and wipe Data and Cache. This made it so that the next bootup was fine. To test this theory, I wiped again with the steps above, flashed the ROM, booted, and hung up after 15 seconds with a hard reset then it wouldn't boot. I pulled the battery, popped it back in, went into recovery, and wiped data and cache again, rebooted no problem. For those that ask... pulling the battery itself did not fix the problem as I tried that previous to this fix and still was stuck at the boot animation.
I notice that this didn't come with the 1.9 Faux kernel, max OC is at 1100 - was there something wrong with the faux kernel or was this an oversight?
edit3: I tip my hat to the Atrix Dev Team. You guys are amazing! I wish I knew more about how to do this stuff. Up until late last month I hadn't programmed for about 7 years (CompSci Major - but that was a long time ago). I'm picking it back up so that I can do this kinda stuff late in my Atrix's life or at least with my next phone! I re-read my java books from college, and I picked up an Android development book that got good reviews. If anyone has recommended reading, I'm all ears!
If you have any recommended reading to help, I'm all ears.

There's an app called RomToolbox. It's designed for phones, but, it has the boot options in the app. So far, I've ran several of the options on my 501 and haven't had but 1 fc on the animation viewer.
But the boot menu seems to work.
So it seems to function, HOWEVER, some of the options I wouldn't advise using on your tab, because it's a phone app.

yeah, I believe what it does is some sort of cache dump and restarts the android system only. as far as I understand. but yeah, it should save a touch of time off a full boot. I think the most used option, or at least that,s important to me, is the boot to recovery option. a real lifesaver!!!!
I am currently working on porting gweedo's touch recovery to the touchpad. So far I have a working clockworkmod 5.5.0.4 with the cool battery percentage mod but the touch part is not ready yet.
I just wanted to release this as a fully functional recovery (except adb).
1) boot into clockworkmod
2) mounts and storage >> mount /boot
3) adb push uImage.CWMRT5504 /boot/uImage.CWMRT5504
4) reboot and see it in the moboot menu
The touchscreen driver doesnt work but this is a completely working clockworkmod recovery (backups, restore, installing zips, etc.) (except adb)
Thanks

I played around and it works pretty well! No bugs that I could find.
The only feedback I would give is that when you flash ROMs it sucks that the soft touch keys on the screen get in way of a lot of the wording. The horizontal blue line also would strike through words and it looks cruddy.
Any way to change where the message output is placed?
Can't wait to try this out. Keep the work going.
Can someone post mirrors for the downloads. They are both down.

this should be fixed in this beta 14. and also the links are updated to an unlimited bandwidth server.
I hate to be "that guy," but I looked into this before and I don't think you can get the touchscreen working. On the TouchPad, the screen is controlled by a userland-based driver versus a kernel based driver. That's swell, but since CWM is basically only a kernel, it can't load the driver. I'd love to have someone prove me wrong, really. I just couldn't figure out a way to load it on CWM
Also, you're compiling it wrong if it only works temporarily when flashed. I believe that's like "make kernel" (or the equivalent, it's been awhile lol). I can'r remember the correct command, but I might have solved it by compiling CM and then removing the recovery portion? *shrug*
Good luck, though! I meant this to be taken as someone sharing their knowledge to help others, not as a deterrent. Please, continue with this and make an awesome CWM!
I'm not a kernel/recovery dev so I wouldn't even know where to begin looking at this but I know there was a touch based recovery back before CM9 called TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP). Maybe it might help to look back at how they got it working and see if the same process can be used for CWM?
Here's the link to the original thread with TWRP thread.

Hope it helps. I would like to see this work. I love the touch based CWM on my GNex.
Is this still in development?
so finally got mounts to work so this is now a fully functional recovery. the only things not working are the touch options and adb. once i get ts_srv to initialize then swipe gestures will finally work. but for now its still at least a good recovery.
So everything in the touch recovery works besides the touch?

LOL not sure if you are trying to be a smart-a** or honestly asking. you must not be asking for reals since the OP answers that question.
its still an updated CWM from the original 5.0.2.6. so its still better than the one from before.

Well in the previous post he mentions adb does NOT work in this new version and I'd consider that a critical part of recovery. Any info on progress related to that? Great work.

Yes I agree that adb is a critical part. I'll be looking at init.rc to why adb isn't starting. Just haven't had a chance yet.

you should really edit the main subject line, since no adb and no touch do not equal "FULLY WORKING RECOVERY." Not sure why anyone would bother using it at this point to be honest

You may want to search on "Aroma File Manager" (gui file manager you kick off from within recovery by installing the .zip) and see if you can potentially add a direct link to it in recovery...that would be VERY useful addon nobody else currently has as aroma file manager is relatively new.
The aroma touch installers are on most of the roms for my Xperia Arc. I wouldn't say nobody's using them yet as its the latest trend amongst developers. An aroma installer could benefit the touchpad community for those who want to choose what they do and don't want in the rom. But I'm gunna assume for the moment that if a touch recovery won't recognize touch that aroma probably won't work either.

Well it is a fully functional recovery. Any recovery aspect you need (backup, restore, install, fix permissions) ALL work. Therefore, it's a working recovery. Touch is an extra and not a requirement to use recovery. So next time you should try thinking before you put down your ignorant ideas.

Yes but you say Fully Working and Touch... well if adb is nonfunctional then its not FULLY functional and if Touch isn't working then its not TOUCH then is it... so yes... the thread should be pulled or the title modified
