ROOT @ FLASH KERNEL in 2 clicks, best way for a newbie :-)

!Don't work on Android 2.3.6+ .. only 2.3.5 and less! thanks Mittaa
Hi, im newbie and was gathering info from this execellent forum about root, flash kernel, custom recovery, flashing rom.. so i think there is most easy way for someone like me who is totally new to this, and i want to share it.
Step 1: ROOT, Download DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit connect phone to PC and click RUNME.BAT
Step 2: KERNEL, download DarkyOTA from Android Market, then select OTA > kernels, download and install kernel.
That's it you now have root and cwm recovery, ready to do nandroid backup and install custom roms.
First step is to backup your phone before you will test anything. When phone is off hold home+volUP+Power you will get into CWM Recovery and Choose Backup/Restore > Backup
PS: Make sure you have setup debug mode and checked unknow sources in your phone settings in step 1
Hope it helps to someone :>

Yes nice I did the same.
But be aware that "DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit" only works with 2.3.5 and not stock 2.3.6 (Mexico and Holland have got it).
Samsung have closed this easy way to root

Thanks for telling us, didn't know this im 2.3.5 lucky

Want to root but device has 2 serial numbers

I just got my eee pad back from rma. It appears to be a different device. Where the serial number should be is covered with a white sticker was a serial number starting with B80. Do you think it would be safe to root with razorclaw or otherwise?
Also would it be possible to install a rom like revolver?
And if i did root and install a rom could a bring it back to normal if I need to rma?
Thanks for the help

RazorClaw has nothing to do with build number.
You have to be on .19 firmware for RC to work.
You could also try NachoRoot which work with all firmware up to .21

Yes i've done quite a bit of research and I noticed I'd need to downgrade to .13 then upgrade to .19 with a 101g firmware which might stop you from getting some market apps. I'm alittle lost of what to do after that. If I used nacho root and wanted to install revolver. I'd think I need to install clockwork then add a rom. Is that correct? Does a guide exist on this?
Thanks

Yes try with NachoRoot first. Once you have achieved root, use RecoveryInstaller
to install CWM recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
After that download and put the revolver ROM file on your external sd card.
Use CWM recovery to flash the ROM.

Thanks for all the help I'm feeling alittle less nervous about doing this. Could I just ask 3 more quick questions. Is overclocking the cpu (i'm not sure how everyone does it) dangerous in a sense that it could damage it? Also when ICS will I be able to update my revolver when it is released by the revolver dev? And finally if I do decide to go through with this can I remove any traces if I need to send it in for a non-rooting related issue?
Thanks

no you should be fine as long as you dont go to high i seen other forum members push there tf101 s to 1.5ghz, and thats about as far as i would go my self.
i don't know about revolver as i have not messed with roms/recovery/kernels yet but i would think that the dev would work on a ics release.
yes you can heres a link to an unrooting guide Easy [UNROOT] it show how to install a stock rom and stock recovery.

I ordered my transformer yesterday, it will arrive in 2 days.
I have a question :
1) If I plan to use a custom rom (prime or revolver), do I need to root it first or just install the rom zip?
1a) stock device comes with recovery console, but clock work mod is a modified version with extra features?
1b) from what I understand, stock console accepts only signed zips, while clockworkmod accepts unsigned zips?
2) If I root the stock original rom, will it continue to receive updates? Will root survive them?
I want to have a working tablet ready for ics, with root as a must, I need to backup and restore my apps and exchange them with my Android-ed HTC HD2.

1a: yes
1b:i don't know if the stock only accepts signed zips but clockwork will accept un signed.
1: i'm pretty sure its stock rom->rooted stock rom->clockwork recovery->custom rom
2: a rooted stock rom will continue getting updates but it might break root, i was told to install OTA root keeper to back up and protect my root.

backup aps,unlock and root.

hi ,
i am new to all this and i would like your help.i have the xoom for a month and i have instaled many aps and files.
now i need to unlock it and root it.
from what i read the unlocking and root deletes everything and restores the factory defaults.
is there a way to backup or transfer my aps to a sd card?i try to install the tiganium software but i get the message the the xoom needs to be rooted .
can someone please clear this?
i apreciate any help.
my xoom is the mz601 with hc 3.2

that's correct. More specifically, the unlocking will do that, rooting itself won't, but to my knowledge, there is no way to root the xoom without unlocking first. (read more on this below)

I am not aware of any way to do that. Regardless of that, you shouldn't, it would be much better to just install the apps from market after upgrading from HC to ICS.

no. Unlocking will unlock the bootloader, so that you can flash stuff using fastboot-commands (and you will use that to flash a custom recovery). Rooting will root your device, thus giving you "administrator privileges" and, if you use the "universial xoom root", conserve your recovery from being overwritten by the stock rom. If you want to install another rom, you'll have to do so manually (but installing a new rom is no big deal)
/****** EDIT ******
regarding root without unlock: in this thread the op states, that the method mentioned there will also work on your device (as a matter of fact any Motorola device with froyo or honeycomb)
luke.arran said:
This root method should work on all Motorola Devices running honeycomb or gingerbread. Try it out and see if it does
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As far as I can see, this method will not unlock the bootloader.
I have not tried it and I won't, as I'd have to flash a stock rom and lock my xoom again to see if it works, but if you're going to try it, please keep us posted here and/ore in the thread I mentioned

thanks for the reply,
tbe last days i am trying to find out what options do i have.
i need your help againto clear some new issues.
1. i have the mz691 and hc 3.2 ,from wht i read i must unlock,then install cwm for a backup if i want.then root. will i still have the hc 3.2?? i am a bit afraid to install ather roms.
2.from my researh i found out that there are many roms. wht is the best?
is the ice scream sandwich compatible with my device?if yes ,what version?i prefer not to go to nitlies.
3.what is the universal root xoom ?
thanks,i apreciate your help

Assuming that you acutally have a MZ601 and not a MZ691 (never heard of that one before), yes, you really need to unlock, install cwm, backup, then root. Note, however, that this backup will only back up your current rom, it will NOT backup your data (as unlocking will delete your data and you must unlock your device to be able to install cwm). None of these steps will install another rom, thus you'll still be at 3.2.

Well, as a matter of fact, there are not so many roms for the MZ601. The one I use is the (usually most current) Team EOS Nightly for MZ601. If you don't want to go with nightlies, just go with the stable Team EOS 1.0.0. However, I don't see any disadvantages at all in using nightlies. Bear in mind that you do not HAVE to update on a daily basis Except from the one nighly that introduced cornerstone, they are just as stable as the 1.0.0.

That is a root method developed by solarnz link to thread. This method should work on every xoom that can be bootloader-unlocked. (Thats all of them, except family edition and Xoom2/Xyboard)

many thanks,
ok.i am installing a new rom and continue installing apps.when i install new rom i will loose again my aps?yes,unlocking deletes all data,tbe same apply if i install another rom?
is there a way to backup my aps in original apk form? or mayby download them initialy in .apk file and have them on a storage?
what is this deep sleep problem the ics nightly have? do you have any other problems.what is this cornerstone?
yes the xoom is the 601.my mistake.
thans again!!!

depends... If you are switching between totally different roms you should wipe your /data-partition, thus you'd loose your apps. If you upgrade from one version of a rom to another version of that same rom you should be fine without wiping /data, so you'll keep all your apps.

well, maybe it's possible to get the original .apk-files from somewhere, but for all those apps you got from the android market that's just plain useless. You may, however, be able to backup your apps and data using titanium backup once your xoom is rooted.
AchillesGr said:

your xooms processor has a so-called deep-sleep feature that reduces power consumption to almost zero when the cpu is not used. On my xoom, and apparently also on others, this feature does not work on current EOS roms (I ain't even sure if it ever did) when the xoom is connected to a wifi network. On 3G-Networks it goes into deep-sleep as it should. Solarnz has confirmed that he thinks that this is a wifi-issue which he will address in the (hopefully not so distant) future.

It's a system that lets you open more than one app at once. There is one build of the Team EOS roms where it is included, you can try that if you like. But it screwed a lot of things up and made the system somewhat unstable, so it was removed in the next build. here is a website where you can have a look at what cornerstone looks like.

ok,
i will try to root today and then i will try to flash the eos everest ics.
you saied that i need to clear-wipe zoom before update to diferrent rom. how to do that?
from cwm recovery?
can you please direct me what i need to wipe and how?
thanks agaon!!

Also i dont know if im the only one but when i try to install almost any app from play store i get a" couldent install app on USB memory or SD card" error. Phone is unrooted.

some apps need rooted phones to work properly so you need at least to root your phone then you are fine...

Downgrade from 2.3.5 back to 2.2.2
1) Download U8800 V100R001C00B138SP04 (Overseas General) Android 2.2.2 from HERE.
2) Extract the "dload" folder and copy it (along with its contents) to the ROOT of the SD Card.
3) Turn on your U8800 while holding [VOL-] and [VOL+] and the Android 2.2.2 install should start.
4) Once finished you should be back to 2.2.2.
5) If you phone does not boot correctly power on phone while holding [VOL+] to boot into recovery and Reset to factory defaults.

Btw when i upgraded to 2.3 i used this one here and it went pretty smoothly.

Well now i installed Aurora 4.1 how do i install the update 1a now? Also i have Saunalahti how do i do that with the connectbot? Didnt really understand it :S Calling is working atm i think.. but mobile internet doesnt

Download connectbot and open, Click ssh left side bottom and select local and use a nickname when the terminal opens type
su
setprop persist.eons.enabled 0
And reboot.
To install update 1a just flash it with cwm.

I tried the connectbot but do i have to save it somehow after i wrote that or just home and reboot? Also i've checked my APN settings they are as they should for Saunalahti :/ Got an R over my signal idk if im roaming :/ im at home internet wont work *_* Im on Aurora 4.1 atm u think it would help if i flashed 4.1 update 1a?

You can try but since you had this prob from the official update you better try reinstalling the official again
Also try this see if your net connects when you turn on data roaming if it does that means you are on roaming some how
Sent from my U8800 using xda app-developers app

umm what official should i try then? Im from finland so.. Is it just to do the exact same thing as when i upgraded from 2.2.1? Or do i need to go back to 2.2.1 first or sumfin like that?

first try a master reset if not helpful then just try doing it without downgrading if that doesn't work try it with a different official update and if that too doesn't work then try downgrading and upgrading again.

How do i do a master reset? Also i saw the downgrade guide on that root ,CWM etc.. but the link is dead

settings>backup&reset>Factory data reset
