Hi, just wanted to ask if the root, flashing and rollback techniques posted here also apply to this "FashionTV".

The only difference between your fashionTV edition and the standard one is in phone covers, some artwork (wallpapers, widgets, etc..) and some added bloatware. So all the guides here apply to your phone too. The fashion tv edition also came in amoled and tft versions so you may need to convert yours to gen2 to be able to use newer cyanogenmod.

Hello,
I'm not new to rooting, but the Xoom scene is very confusing at the moment and I just need somebody to direct me to the proper guides and confirm that I'm not going to blow up my Xoom and/or tear a hole in the space time continuum.
Situation is this: I have a stock UK wifi Xoom and want to get to Android 3.1. I'm not willing to wait until 2013 for Motorola to pull the finger out and give their European customers an update.
SO
Obviously I need to root and apply the update manually.
I'm willing to risk the one-click method (I've seen other UK Xoomers have had some success with it).
Where do I go from there? One-click method says it will install tiamat kernel... but I've read that this isn't compatible with 3.1. So is there a guide that will take me from tiamat to 3.1? Do the update methods replace that kernel anyway? Am I going to go completely f*cking crazy if I have to trawl through another 50+ page thread full of conflicting info? (Yes.)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Im not an expert at any of this, just a regular user but heres the guide i followed to get my uk wifi xoom updated. Http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074609
However you need to be aware that this software is the us version and you will ony have access to American English. You will lose all the European languages.
Also you need to be aware that if you unlock your bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock" you can not relock it. Trying will brick your zoom. (Currently)
If you could do a full system dump of your xoom as is with the UK wifi software that would be awesome as currently nobody has uploaded one and im trying to get back to stock and Motorola have only posted the us images
Thanks. I don't mind losing the languages. I'm using SwiftKey so I can just download any language modules I need.
I would certainly be willing to upload that if I had the faintest idea of how to do it! If I can get a step by step guide I can give it a go... and as long as I know I'm not also uploading my personal details and authorisation tokens etc along with the software!
Any particular reason you're going back to stock? Bugs or anything?
Edit: the canadian system image has the full set of languages if that's what you're looking for...
Sorry, didn't have time to wait for a reply, going out in a while.
I did a factory reset and then an adb pull so I've got all the system files etc on my PC. Not quite sure what to do with them, though. They're not in .img format, just in a folder?
Anyway, now rooted and running 3.1. Cheers for the link above.
Hi everyone, recently purchased a Chinese A7 SM-7000 and regret it, the phone is a good hardware piece, but the software is crappy, lot of Chinese bloatware, no more than three languages, and the best of all is there's no Google Apps, no Google play, so I need some help in maybe flashing another firmware, a (normal) one, or wathever to make this phone international, BTW I've rooted the stock rom under 5.0.2 but guess it won't help.

If the software is infected, I think you can flash another rom from SamMobile... But for your model there are only chinese firmwares... Maybe from there you can root, then check if your phone can use a firmware from another variation, maybe it can be done by skipping the baseband. Check with your provider if there is any subscription, and if there are any, cancel them... Doing this after a full flash on Odin must clean your device from trouble...
Sorry if my reply caused any trouble to you, it wasn't my intention... :crying:

No worries about the scam link. intend was good.
I have rooted the 5.0.2 on the SM-A7000 but just can't get the gapps to work. I have downloaded SM-A700H rom and am trying to extract or flash that to the phone but so far had very little success.
Any one can mayble port the SM-A700H Rom to flash to the SM-A7000?

I have that phone too. Running android 6.0.1 but no google apps are available on this phone because Samsung China's devices have a restriction that is that phones don't have Google. i have updated my device from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 and then 6.0.1 one month ago.

I have SM-A7000 running Android marshmallow but it doesn't have any bloatware apps and have over 20 languages but it doesn't support Google because it's a chinese device variant and China has a restriction that is Google has been banned in china and the chinese firmwares doesn't support Google.

You can't flash other model firmware to SM-A7000, odin process will be failed or may cause instability to your device or may brick your phone.

I have idea to install gapps
Hello,
I bought the phone Le Pro 3 store geekbuying.com. Seller uploads its software with Google services and different languages (including Polish). Uploading the software associated with the root of the device. Unfortunately, I do not like it, because I want to use applications such as Pokemon GO. I do not know which version of the software will be, I can only assume that it will be 17s.
Here my question. Is this phone you can safely do unroot? Is how to do it will be different languages and Google service?
I had previously dealt with the brand LeEco. Please answer fast, because I still have a little time to possibly cancel the order.
Best wishes.
AFAIK you can always revert back to stock unmodified ROM even from China to US.

You do not understand me. I do not want to return to the stock rom. I want to have a modified ROM (with the Polish language), but I do not want to have root.

Then it depends on the ROM your are going to use. Most of them (fortunately or unfortunately for you) have built-in SU or are rooted already.

Question. In such a case I can safely do unroot without losing the other languages and Google services? That's all I'm saying.
I was happy because I bought a US997 , but then when I was following the tutorial to unlock the bootloader I found that is a weird unespected Z version (which I still don't know what it means or what it is this version)
Well, I want to flash with my pc the stock room again (just to have a clean restart, because I bought it used) it have the 11A but I saw that the 16A is up, the questions are
Can I flash the 16A? How? Where can I download the clean image, etc?
Use the search function...

Oh wow, it would be amazing if I hadn't used it before made this post.
I can't find anything about the "Z" version of the US997.
Clearly haven't used it correctly then. Also life hack, Google is your friend.
From what I have found, you can't unlock the bootloader on the Z version:

Where did this phone come from originally? Is it US Cellular?
Hello
I write because following an update yesterday htc u ultra my companion he does not want to start it is blocked on htc and becomes very hot!
I tried several things seen on xda but there I am completely blocked.
I have access to different things, booloader, recoverry, etc ... but nothing changes I did a factory reset but the problem does not evolve
I tried to flash it with a ROM ruu but he told me that it is not the good CID. taken here https://forum.xda-developers.com/u-...stock-htc-ultra-dual-sim-1-64-400-10-t3758077
after i have an idea but i do not know if this is possible i have access to someone who has the same phone bought at the same place at the same time is it possible to extract the RUU rom to reinject it into that of my wife ???
I am hopeless we leave in 8 days and my wife finds herself without phone can you m help me to find the good RUU or extract that of my friend to reinject it?
the model is this one https://www.eglobalcentral.fr/htc-u-ultra-64go-4g-dual-sim-desimlocke-blanc-fr.html
apparently it's a Taiwanese model double sim
thanks for all the help !!
PS it was all original not rooted nor bootloaded unlocked just the update ota do
It would be better if you post the threads links properly, yours got truncated.
If you have, as you claim, the Taiwanese Dual SIM model you should be able to follow the downgrade procedure from Oreo to Nougat. I did it multiple times.
You cannot extract RUU. It is specially prepared package that performs several upgrade operations separately. You can only make dump of already installed system but for that you do need an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP) on both devices.

sorry i corrected the links.
on the other hand I can do this procedure despite that I have access only to bootloader and recovery?
I'm not an expert I thought I can just flash with a RUU but I can not find one

It seems to me you have got yourself a wrong RUU. The ones from the post are for India, not Taiwan.
Surely I can not get my hands on a Taiwanese RUU!
do you know where can I find a link?

We don't have RUU 8.0. Try boot to download mode and flash TWRP recovery. Downgrade to Nougat (7.0).
