1Click method mini tutorial - Click General

For all having problems making root/recovery/flash like I did I'm writing some things I did do get it going:
(1st time flashers) All the steps
On tattoo:
- Boot on your stock recovery and wipe cache then factory reset.
- Reboot
On PC:
- Install HTC Sync on your PC and optionally install Android SDK Tools. Update SDK Tools with SDK Manager.
- Download latest 1Click update by tenis and extract it to C:\ so you have rtattoo on hard disk root.
- Download the latest cyanogenmod and gapps for your device and put it on the root of your sdcard.
On tattoo:
- Select USB Debugging Mode ON to Application/Development
- Connect tattoo to PC and select HTC Sync
On PC:
- Try to run "adb devices" from (c:\rtattoo\adb.exe) on command prompt, it must show your device attached, if it says that adb is deprecated you can replace it with the one on SDK Tools you've installed
- Close terminal and hit rootTattoo on rtattoo folder.
- If it's showing a number on terminal the application found your CID, write it down or make a printscreen if you didn't a goldcard and want to make it later with your sdcard.
- Hit any key to start. It will run all the way without taking anymore action from you and it automatically reboots tattoo.
Now you have recovery installed.
- Turn off the phone.
- Press home button and without releasing it press power button and hold the two together until the clockworkmod recovery shows up.
- Select Backup to backup your current ROM, you will need it if you want to go to stock ROM
- Reboot if you want to make sure everything is OK and get into recovery again
- Select wipe cache/factory reset from the menu using your D-Pad.
( BE CAREFUL now, you should have your battery with a good amount of charge, make a full charge before just to be sure)
- After the wipe select update from zip file, go thru you card and select the cyanogenmod zip to flash your rom.
- After flash go back on the menu and select reboot device.
Wait patiently for the full boot, it can take several minutes, the rom is being configured.
After the android skater shows up wait a bit more and the operating system will start.
Don't rush into the phone once it gets started up, let it settles and start all services.
After that, since you are rooted, with recovery and flashed, the last thing is to reboot on recovery, select update from zip and hit the gapps zip file to get the google apps instaled (optional)
Thanks to:
- tenis that guide me thru the process and updated his thread to the latest clockworkmod
- maverick, kalim and everyone involved on this 1Click Procedure
And of course thanks to the cyanogen and clockworkmod developer teams
Have a nice android experience

Or you can download Universal androot and rom manager to have clockworck mod recovery in 2 steps...

Well you're right but that didn't work for me.
Androot OK, flashed by rom manager supposedly OK but, on boot clockworkmod never showed up.
1Click is an excellent alternative

Idiot proof root

Finally S-Off. Thanks to alpharev (generous donation on its way)
Now first problem;
I am the least tech savvy guy on the planet. If not, around London
As you see, the problem is me. So I need a genuine idiot proof step by step guide.
Can someone recap everything in a simple way please?
Backup, root, overclock etc...
Anyone who helps will receive a guaranteed prayer from a religion of their choice
download eclair rom from shipped roms, install it, then download unrevoked, root with it and youll get custom recovery also with unrevoked, after that follow some other guides how to properly flash a custom rom thru that recovery.
(before the rooting part, install htc sync to get all the needed drivers. WARNING: before using unrevoked to root the device, uninstall just htc sync but everything else that was installed with it - leave it installed. btw im atheist )

What I've found so far is;
I need to "root" my phone. Root means gaining superuser access right? (froyo 2.2. hboot 1.01)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
Link above supposed to do the job.
-After rooting the phone I need to "nandroid" backup my phone. Nandroid will appear in the boot menu when I root my phone right? wrong?
i didnt do any backups xD, i just soffed, installed 2.1 wwe ruu, rooted with unrevoked and flashed cm7

The phone is not rooted. ROMs are rooted. You can very well follow that guide, but, I used Fastboot to install ClockWorkMod Recovery (Which is having all those options you are listing - ie Nandroid, Install ZIP From SDCard etc).
The Fastboot method needs just one command to install Clockworkmod Recovery, but needs to have Android SDK installed. If you are willing to do that:
- Download Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Download ClockworkMod Recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014498
- Extract the Recovery.img file from the 2nd link, and place it in your SDK Setup Path / Tools (eg: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools)
- Open a Command Window (cmd)
- Browse to the tools folder in this Command Window
- Type the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- It will install ClockworkMod Recovery, you are done.
Then, simply follow Part 3 of this guide to install Custom ROMs and Stuff:

long winded way of doing it
we need a step by step with pics or at least a video on youtube, theres nothing there at teh moment.
Once you have S-OFF follow these steps:
1. Get fastboot.exe, CWM and the su binary from the attachment below, make sure you extract the archives.
2. Download Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Install SDK to C:/, place fastboot.exe and the recovery.img in android-sdk/platform-tools
3. Shut down phone, get into bootloader (volume down + power button)
4. Select FASTBOOT using volume keys, press power button (you are now in fastboot mode)
5. Connect phone to computer, select disk drive.
6. Open cmd, type cd C:/android-sdk/platform-tools
7. now type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.2-j_r0dd_mod-buzz.img" (no quotes)
8. Now you should have Clockworkmod installed, but still no root so:
9. Copy su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed to sdcard.
10. Get into bootloader again, select recovery.
11. Select "install zip from sdcard", confirm with trackball.
12. Scroll down to su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed, confirm the install, now you are rooted!
13. Do a nandroid backup from clockworkmod.
14. Repeat steps 9-12 but use the ZIP of ROMs, Kernels or Radio if you wish. Wipe all data before installing a fresh rom (ty calyxim ^^)
Complete list for ROMs/Kernels/Radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
I hope this is clear enough?
Thanks mate. Worked wonders. In what religion would you like your prayers?
I would like to make an addition to step 14; Wipe all data before installing a fresh rom
This is the most idiot proof way i could find, and that i could use lol..... big props to Nejc121
nejc121 said:
Okay, it took me some trying and stuff but I finaly found a way!
Okay, this is going to be simple step-by-step
FirsT: Copy this to the root of your SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=548407&d=1300751790
Second: Go into HBOOT and click yes when it asks you to update (note: Please make sure your SD card is FAT32 and not FAT, it must be FAT32 for this step to work.
Third: Remove the img file from your sd card and add this file: http://bit.ly/su2361ef
Fourth: Go into HBOOT and click Recovery!
Fifth: Click install zip from sdcard (or some thing like that)
Sixth: Click choose zip from sdcard
Seventh Locate your zip and let it update
AND YOU'RE DONE!
Have fun being free!
If you're having problems with the HBOOT not detecting the .zip update, please check if you SD card is FAT32.

Try renaming 'recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.2-j_r0dd_mod-buzz.img' to 'recovery.img'. I had to do this in Linux, but worked fine after.

installing and uninstalling htc sync helps. just to extract drivers I suppose...
Clockwork mod doesn't work properly for me. Whenever I select any option the menu disappears and the background just sits there. I can click really fast and it will just reappear and disappear rapidly.
Fix?

That wait is normal if it below 2-3 min. But if it takes longer u should check the drivers.
That wait generally occurs if u connect the device after entering the command (happens to me everytime). If it is so, shouldn't disconnect the device and wait for a while till it detects.
If it is not so and wait is longer, then go for reinstalling the drivers.

This occurs when pressing vol down + power on a full booted phone.
U should not do this. Switch off the device and then hold vol down + power. There goes into hboot mode. And for that recovery installation u should go into fastboot mode though from there.
as it was now clear, the waiting shouldn't be there now. Enter fastboot mode and try it

How I went from rooted stock 4.5.9.1 to Cyanogen Pre-Beta

Hey,
I am in the process of going from stock (rooted) GB and wanted to document my steps. I am not a developer, I have no idea what I am doing, everything here is from links/guides elsewhere.
If you know of a faster/easier way to do it, please respond and I will update as required!
How can I Backup text messages/missed calls etc to cyanogen?
My System:
AT&T Atrix 4g with Stock Gingerbread OTA update (rooted)
Windows 7 x64 laptop
Guide:
My general understanding is as follows:
1. Unlock Phone
2. Download and Install CWM
3. Install Cyanogen
1. To unlock the phone we need to first get a few applications installed, I am running windows 7 so below are the files.
RSDLite 5.3.1 link
x64 Windows drivers
AT&T Unlocker
After downloading, install the first two packages, the third package will be used to unlock your bootloader:
Open a command prompt window
On Windows, press Start and type “cmd” then press the enter button
Type the following command. Your directory will be the folder where you extracted the Fastboot package.
(Example: cd C:\Users\Kenneth\Desktop\fastboot-package)
cd your directory here
Power down your Atrix device
Hold the power button and the downward volume button until you see “Fastboot”
Let go of the buttons and press the upward volume button once
You will now see “Starting Fastboot protocol support”
Plug your device into a USB port in the back slot of your computer
Front slots sometimes do not have enough power to stay connected to the device.
Type the following command:
fastboot oem unlock
You will now receive a warning along with a unique device ID
Type the following commands using your unique device ID in place of the ####:
fastboot oem unlock ####
fastboot reboot
Wait for your device to reboot. Congratulations! You now have an unlocked bootloader!

2. CWM
CWM Download
how to install:
Windows:
unzip recovery-en-goapk.zip to D:\
open a CMD in windows.
fastboot flash recovery D:\recovery-en-goapk.img
Linux:
unzip recovery-en-goapk.zip to you home
mot-fastboot flash recovery ~/recovery-en-goapk.img
mot-fastboot reboot
3. Install Cyanogenmod
Download:
Cyanogenmod *REQUIRED*
GOOGLE Applications *Install if you want Market, Gmail, etc*
Restart into CWM
Wipe Dalvik
Wipe cache
factory/data reset
flash pre-beta.zip
wipe Dalvik
wipe cache
factory data/reset
reboot
IT COULD TAKE A LONG TIME TO BOOT, JUST WAIT UP TO AN HOUR
*Cyanogenmod*

You forgot the part where you have to flash pudding, which will softbrick your phone temporarily. This happens to all phones on stock GB when attempting to unlock them.

If it stops ONE person from asking for a guide on how to do this... it was needed.

This section has always bothered me because it can be confusing. Instead of referencing D:\ at all simply telling users to extract the img to the folder where they've installed the fastboot package would be clearer. Also at least some mention should be made of the fact that there is now a second CWM option running around in the dev forum which works with rom manager. It can be installed in exactly the same way as Tenfar's but to get it to work with rom manager you need to install the generic rom manager CWM through rom manager first, and then install the CWM version available in the dev forum.

Tethering on 2.1

I have a rooted GT540 on stock 2.1.
When I try to use tethering programs I get errors relating to Kernels and such.
Is there a method to tether without using a different rom?
You can't tether when you're on 2.1 ROM.... at least Froyo is required...

You're wrong. Use Barnacle WiFi Tether from market instead. Or use Quarx's Custom Kernel that enables the WiFi tether app from google code to work, but you need to have installed Fastboot rom to install it.
Cheers.
Unfortunately Barnacle hasn't done the job either

All I can suggest then is installing a custom kernel or ROM I'm afraid.
Here is how you can.
Download this:
http://www.mediafire.com/?imautlh0m29cl2t
This has a fastboot ROM that enables fastboot + recovery so we can flash custom roms.
How to install (Guide from MrMentality @ MoDaCo):
1. Go to the Market and install 'MyBackup Root', open it and do a backup of your apps and personal data (contacts, sms, call log etc.) Once this is done, go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card, a notification in the notification bar should appear saying 'SD Card safe to remove'. Remove the battery cover and remove the SD card and store it in a safe place. Then continue to step 2.
2. Extract the .zip file you downloaded to your computer (e.g. your desktop). Open the folder and install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi).
3. If you have your Drivers installed, then skip this: Once that has finished, install LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver1.0_All_Win7.exe which are the drivers so your computer will recognize your phone.
4. Next, open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
(i) Change 'Type' to '3GQCT' *THIS IS A MUST, THE UPDATE WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE AND YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE*
(ii) Make sure 'PhoneMode' is set to 'DIAG'
(iii) Browse for the 'V20B_00+Fastboot.kdz' file.
5. Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and wait for the drivers to install for the phone.
6. Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete. When phone has rebooted, re-root your phone.
Installing recovery:
You have multiple choices to choose from.
ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.8 (Recommended)
ClockworkMod Recovery 4.x (Recommended but you may run into incompatible .zip files, download the recovery_clockwork_x.x.x.x_swift.zip file)
Amon RA 2.2.1 (Recommended but has issues with recovery backups and usb toggle)
Amon RA 1.7.0.1 (Not recommended due to incompatibility with zip files and recovery backups. Also .zips must be signed)
Download the recovery image of your choice (I recommend 2.5.1.8)
Next put your phone in Fastboot mode by rebooting then holding Camera+Power, make sure USB Cable is plugged in. Also let Windows search Windows Update for drivers.
Download fastboot.exe from here: http://adf.ly/2M8Hi and extract it to the desktop. Also put the recovery image you downloaded onto the desktop too.
Open a command prompt and type the following:
Code:
cd Desktop
fastboot devices (if you see ? fastboot then your device is recognized)
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot reboot
When fastboot says rebooting, hold down HOME and wait. You should see clockwork pop up. And there you are, recovery on your phone!
Now to install a custom kernel/rom. If you are happy with Android 2.1 and want tethering, go to step 1 and skip step 2. If you want the bleeding edge and want the latest and greatest Android version, skip step 1 and go to step 2.
Step 1:
Download the boot_666_MMXTREM_init.d.zip from here. Also grab addons.zip from here.
By using the volume keys, go down to Mounts and Storage, press call button, then go to Mount USB Storage, press call button again. On your computer, put both .zip files on the SD Card. Then press call button on phone. Press back until you are at the main screen. Now go to 'install .zip from sdcard' press call to select and press choose .zip, then go down to 'boot_666_mmxtrem.init.d.zip' and select that, then go down to yes and then select, wait until install finishes. Now go back into install.zip and do the same for the addons.zip. When that is finished, go back to main screen and go to 'advanced' and select Wipe Dalvik cache, select yes, wait and then reboot phone. Now try to tether and it should work no problems.
Step 2.
Download any ROM you want from the GT540 section here on XDA.
It will come in either three formats.
Fastboot- boot.img and system.img
Recovery .zip- a .zip file that contains boot.img, and two folders, META-INF and system. DO NOT EXTRACT THIS.
Recovery Backup- boot.img, system.img, data.img, and nandroid.md5
For Fastboot, put phone in fastboot mode, put system.img and boot.img on the desktop, open a command prompt and type:
Code:
fastboot -w
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
For recovery.zip, put the .zip file on SD Card (if you are downloading SwiftDroid Recovery version, extract the SwiftDroid_x.x.x.x_recovery.zip put the update-cm-xxxxxx.zip file on your SDCard, not the SwiftDroid.zip one. Then flash in recovery like described in step 1. Remember to factory reset to avoid bootloops.
For recovery backup, put the folder in the ClockworkMod\backup\ folder on the sdcard. Then go to Backup and Restore, choose restore and then choose the backup folder.
Hope it resolves your issues!
Thanks for all that information.
Turns out I was wrong!
My devices don't support ad-hoc so barnacle wasn't the problem.
Found the solution for one of them and Barnacle works.
Still not confident of installing fastboot/roms etc on my gt540 but I managed to find some sort of alternative
Barnacle works for one device (Creative Ziio with ad-hoc enabled)
PDAnet for tablets beta works with browser for my Asus Transformer.

I can understand your trepidation, but the above instructions are solid and straightforward. I was a bit hesitant at first, but realize that the first steps really involve setting up USB drivers to allow your desktop PC to communicate with the phone, and a program called Fastboot. After that, the installation of the ROM is very simple, and is just a RAR file that you decompress into c:\Android (for example) and run a .Bat file that contains the commands he pasted.
It is well worth it.

Step by step procedure to root mz604 and flash ics custom rom

Note: please read this procedure carefully more than once until you are fully aware of it. If you have any doubts or concerns, just ask to avoid confusion before you apply. This should be followed step by step.
• Your custom ROM will be: http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/nightlies/wingray/
• Your GOOGLE APPs (GAPPs) would be: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip http://goo.im/gapps
Full thread in details can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20479464
To summarize:
First, download the above ROM and GAPPs and put them onto your xoom internal and external SD card. Put them under /mnt/sdcard for internal sd, and under the root of your external sd card.
To download:
• Get the Motorola USB drivers to your laptop: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/
• Get the Android SDK to your laptop: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html • Recovery Image: http://goo.im/devs/teameos/recoverie...ecovery-r6.img
• GAPPS: http://goo.im/gapps, your GAPPs would be: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
• ROM: http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/nightlies/wingray/
Steps:
1. Power off your XOOM device.
2. Press and hold the volume down button while pressing the power button at the same time. Note: Even if your xoom starts again, just keep the button pressed until you see "Starting fastboot protocol" on the screen.
3. Connect Xoom to your computer via USB.
4. Open a ‘Command Prompt’ or ‘Terminal’ window on your computer in your sdk/tools folder. This is the sdk you downloaded above.
5. unlock your xoom and flash the recovery image. The recovery image should be in your current working directory where you have command line navigated to:
Type:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
Now, you have your device unlocked and recovery installed.
Reboot your xoom by selecting the option "reboot system now" from recovery. you can navigate up and down using the volume buttons. Once an option is highlighted, press the power button to select, you will still have your old ROM.
To flash the other ROM downloaded above,
1. Boot into recovery by:
i. As soon as you hit the reboot command above, you should see a Motorola logo appear. Wait 3 seconds and tap the Volume down button and the words Android Recovery should appear on the screen. When you see that, tap the Volume up button and you’ll boot into recovery.
2. From within Recovery, perform wipe data, wipe cache, and go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache and battery stats. Don't worry, if the ROM and GAPPs are deleted, which should not be the case, you will have them on your external sd card
Note: wipe data will delete your stuff on the xoom. It would be great if you backup your files that you need to your external sd card before you start any of this procedure.
3. In recovery, navigate to install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sd card and select the EOS ROM you copied to the root of the SD card. Once the files are flashed, DO NOT reboot afterwards. Hold on.
4. Again, from Recovery, choose install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sd card and select the GAPPs you copied to the root of the SD card.
Then hit reboot system now. It will take 2 - 3 minutes for the first reboot. Setup your google account. and you are good to go.
Later reboots will be much faster (around 40 - 50 seconds).
Advice: purchase Startup Manager from the market. Remove unwanted user programs from the startup. That will boost the boot time of your xoom. and don't remove superuser or superSU.
To have better battery life, from the market buy JuiceDefender ultimate. configure it as aggressive. don't worry, it is ok. This will give you around 2 hours of extra battery life than the promised 10 hours. Keep that in the startup.
You may need after that to install terminal emulator from the market if not already installed by the ROM to check if you have root permissions. Just type "su -" you will be prompted with superuser check. Click allow. and then type "id" You will see your id is root.
Should you require further details or assistance, please let me know. And enjoy the best rom customized ever for your device
Best Thanks to TEAM EOS for the great ROMs they provide.
After you are done with all that, let me know and will explain to you how to work with the pre-installed gooManager in the new ROM. It will make your life much easier to upgrade to future releases of your ROM.
Note: if you are coming from eos rom, there is no need to wipe data. Wipe cache and dalvik are enough.
If you are coming from another rom other than eos roms, or rooting for the first time, wipe data is needed as well. Enjoy...

One thing though: After "fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img" aren't you supposed to reboot, and then immediately go into recovery, just so that the system doesn't bring back the old one? Or am a dreaming things (again)?
Hi yosterwp. My pleasure to be part of xda community mate.
Well, after flashing recovery, within adb, I am asking to reboot fastboot and and rebooting recovery. Then rebooting system is mentioned there. That is why I am asking to use the volume button and power button combinations to prevent it from going to old rom and directly go to recovery to flash eos rom

Ahh, efficient and direct for the noob in all of us! I expected nothing less from you; great job!
At step 1 of "To flash the other ROM downloaded above", I get this:
http://i.imgur.com/lsItx.jpg
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: If it helps, when I flash the recovery image, I get this:
http://i.imgur.com/BdZRM.jpg
Is that right?
Also, when I try to enter recovery, I get this:
http://i.imgur.com/pWUZS.jpg
(and before I get that I get the same Android outline with 2 spinning cogs inside, then it changes to that)
I don't actually get into recovery (first image I posted) until I press the Vol Up and power buttons at the same time.
EDIT 2: Disregard all that!
I got it all working using this, and XxLordxX's Lord AIO Tool.
Installed the ROM and GAPPS from this though.
ICS looks so damn nice on this I LOVE ANDROID!
Hey. I am happy you got all that working
For the previous images you posted, it seems boatloader was not unlocked and that is a pre-requisite for Recovery installation.
Now that it is working, Enjoyyyyyyy ICS

Hmm. I ran through the bootloader unlocking on the device, changing the option with the arrow keys then it said
"Formatting UDA" then said it was finished..
Anyway, it's working now, and CWM works (obviously, as I now have the custom ROM installed).

Spanish Xoom?
Hi.
I have an Spanish Xoom Wifi, and I'm concerned about if this ROM (wingray):
- will work in my european/spanish XOOM?
- will allow me to change language and keyboard layout to Spanish?
- can this "english" ROM "brick" my device ? (I don't know if flashing an US or NON-Spanish rom in my Spanish device can brick it).
Thanks.

Yup. It works well on your device.
For spanish keyboard, get smartkeyboard and spanish addon. Enjoy.

Device Not found
I've installed the SDK and Motorola USB drivers as instructed.
When I attach the Xoom, I hear the device connect chime. I even saw the fastboot driver message say "complete" with the happy green checkmark.
However, when I run:
adb reboot bootloader
I get error: device not found.
I tried the LIAOT tool and it also hangs up looking for the device.
Thx for any advice.

What does adb devices say? Use another USB port and use the USB cable it came with

You need to make sure that usb debugging check box is checked under settings.

rooted, flashed
Hi everyone.
I would like to thank you for all the developers here, for the information on how to do it. Without you guys I would stuck with stock honeycombe 3.2 here in the UK. I have been waiting for an official update OTA ics 4.0 for months, but still no sign if other Xoom users will ever get it.
Did it first time rooted, flashed, now running team eos wingray 4.0.4 ics, on my xoom mz604, what a huge improvement.
Thank you again for all of you!
We are here one community to help out. By the way jellybean is out for your device if you are interested.

Note: please read this procedure carefully more than once until you are fully aware of it. If you have any doubts or concerns, just ask to avoid confusion before you apply. This should be followed step by step.
• Your custom ROM will be: http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/nightlies/wingray/
• Your GOOGLE APPs (GAPPs) would be: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip http://goo.im/gapps
Full thread in details can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20479464
To summarize:
First, download the above ROM and GAPPs and put them onto your xoom internal and external SD card. Put them under /mnt/sdcard for internal sd, and under the root of your external sd card.
To download:
• Get the Motorola USB drivers to your laptop: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/
• Get the Android SDK to your laptop: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html • Recovery Image: http://goo.im/devs/teameos/recoverie...ecovery-r6.img
• GAPPS: http://goo.im/gapps, your GAPPs would be: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
• ROM: http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/nightlies/wingray/
Steps:
1. Power off your XOOM device.
2. Press and hold the volume down button while pressing the power button at the same time. Note: Even if your xoom starts again, just keep the button pressed until you see "Starting fastboot protocol" on the screen.
3. Connect Xoom to your computer via USB.
4. Open a ‘Command Prompt’ or ‘Terminal’ window on your computer in your sdk/tools folder. This is the sdk you downloaded above.
5. unlock your xoom and flash the recovery image. The recovery image should be in your current working directory where you have command line navigated to:
Type:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
Now, you have your device unlocked and recovery installed.
Reboot your xoom by selecting the option "reboot system now" from recovery. you can navigate up and down using the volume buttons. Once an option is highlighted, press the power button to select, you will still have your old ROM.
To flash the other ROM downloaded above,
1. Boot into recovery by:
i. As soon as you hit the reboot command above, you should see a Motorola logo appear. Wait 3 seconds and tap the Volume down button and the words Android Recovery should appear on the screen. When you see that, tap the Volume up button and you’ll boot into recovery.
2. From within Recovery, perform wipe data, wipe cache, and go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache and battery stats. Don't worry, if the ROM and GAPPs are deleted, which should not be the case, you will have them on your external sd card
Note: wipe data will delete your stuff on the xoom. It would be great if you backup your files that you need to your external sd card before you start any of this procedure.
3. In recovery, navigate to install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sd card and select the EOS ROM you copied to the root of the SD card. Once the files are flashed, DO NOT reboot afterwards. Hold on.
4. Again, from Recovery, choose install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sd card and select the GAPPs you copied to the root of the SD card.
Then hit reboot system now. It will take 2 - 3 minutes for the first reboot. Setup your google account. and you are good to go.
Later reboots will be much faster (around 40 - 50 seconds).
Advice: purchase Startup Manager from the market. Remove unwanted user programs from the startup. That will boost the boot time of your xoom. and don't remove superuser or superSU.
To have better battery life, from the market buy JuiceDefender ultimate. configure it as aggressive. don't worry, it is ok. This will give you around 2 hours of extra battery life than the promised 10 hours. Keep that in the startup.
You may need after that to install terminal emulator from the market if not already installed by the ROM to check if you have root permissions. Just type "su -" you will be prompted with superuser check. Click allow. and then type "id" You will see your id is root.
Should you require further details or assistance, please let me know. And enjoy the best rom customized ever for your device
Best Thanks to TEAM EOS for the great ROMs they provide.
After you are done with all that, let me know and will explain to you how to work with the pre-installed gooManager in the new ROM. It will make your life much easier to upgrade to future releases of your ROM.

[HOWTO] All-in-One Guide to Flashing your first ROM

This is an effort to write a comprehensive all-in-one guide (for newbies too) to flash ROMS on Huawei S7 Slim 201.
First and foremost you have to root your device (so that you can use certain applications e.g. ROM Manager, Titanium Backup). Do the following:
1. Download SuperOneClick (google it) and extract the files
2. Install Huawei Ideos S7 Slim drivers to your computer (if you have not done it already).
3. Connect your device to your computer via USB. Make sure you have activated USB Debugging on your device. Go to settings > applications > development > tick on USB Debugging.
4. Run SuperOneClick.exe. Disable your Antivirus program before running SuperOneClick (optional but helpful). If the drivers for your device are not installed, SuperOneClick will prompt you to let it find the drivers itself. Press yes and let it continue.
5. Click the root tab. (For my device I had to click root several times because the process got stuck, but eventually it succeeded)
6. After the rooting process ends, reboot your device.
Important notice: Although SuperOneClick confirmed twice that the device was rooted, Titanium Backup could not confirm root. If anyone knows of another way please advise.
Now, in order to flash ROMs do the following:
First of all, you have to install ClockworkMod Recovery on your device. (This will help you to perform many other tasks)
There are two versions of ClockWork Recovery (that I know of).
First one is v2.1.5.8
1. Download the recovery zip (201u.7z) from the attachments .
2. Extract the file.
3. Make sure you have activated USB Debugging on your device. Go to settings > applications > development > tick on USB Debugging
4. Turn off your device and connect it to your computer via USB.
5. Press the volume up key and the power key at the same time until the device enters fastboot mode.
6. Run install.bat (from the unzipped files)
7. When the process ends, reboot your device.
8. With the USB cable connected run reboot into recovery.cmd (from the unzipped files). In the window that will open on the PC, type “adb reboot recovery” without the quotation marks and your device (after a few seconds) will enter recovery mode. (This is something you will have to do every time you enter recovery mode, unfortunately, unless you upgraded to CM9 or CM10 where you can boot to recovery by long pressing the power button anchoosing Reboot> Recovery)
9. When you see the ClockworkMod recovery menu, use the volume up and down keys so many times until the message “back menu button enabled” appears at the end of the screen. Now you can use the power button as ENTER. (This is something you will have to do every time you enter recovery mode, unfortunately too)
Second one is CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2. (credit to WRCODE over at the androidtablets.net that mentioned it)
1. Download the recovery rar (install.rar) from the attachments.
2. Extract the file. (you will find no reboot into recovery.cmd in those files so, either use the one mentioned above, or use ROM Manager or GooManager (from Play Store) to reboot into recovery. Note: Those managers require rooting your device)
3. Make sure you have activated USB Debugging on your device. Go to settings > applications > development > tick on USB Debugging
4. Turn off your device and connect it to your computer via USB.
5. Press the volume up key and the power key at the same time until the device enters fastboot mode.
6. Run install.bat (from the unzipped files)
7. When the process ends, reboot your device.
8a.With the USB cable connected run reboot into recovery.cmd . In the window that will open on the PC, type “adb reboot recovery” without the quotation marks and your device (after a few seconds) will enter recovery mode. (This is something you will have to do every time you enter recovery mode, unfortunately, unless you upgraded to CM9 or CM10 where you can boot to recovery by long pressing the power button and choosing Reboot> Recovery).
8b. Use ROM Manager or GooManager and select reboot recovery.
(this recovery version does not require anything in order for the power button to act as ENTER)
Having successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, you are now ready to flash your custom rom.
1. Find the ROM that best suits you, download it and place the .zip file at the root of your internal SD Card.
2. Enter recovery mode (as explained above) and select wipe data/ factory reset. Once this is done, select wipe cache partition. Once this is done select advanced and then select wipe Dalvik cache. (very important to do all of these steps)
3. Go back at the original menu and select install zip from sdcard. Select choose .zip from sdcard. Select the .zip file that you placed at the internal SD card (make sure that it is the correct one) and press the power button for ENTER.
4. Once the ROM has been successfully flashed select reboot system now and press the power button.
If everything went ok, after a few minutes you will have your first glimpse of your new custom ROM.
Enjoy it and remember “Use the above instructions at your own risk.”
Moving to General.
usb driver for win7
hello. i've been using this tab for a while and would like to root it. sadly when i connected the usb cable to the tab the driver is not installed automatically. so i think maybe i have to install it on my own. but i can't find the driver anywhere, even the official website of huawei. (the page is available but when trying to download, it show "Service Temporarily Unavailable - The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.")
therefore i would like to request if anyone would be kind enough to upload the driver for me to proceed rooting this device.
thanks in advance.
