Whats up guys, i have been looking for a way to root my wifi xoom on 4.1.2! Cutnt find anything...and also the best room available? i will really apreaciate any help. Thank you
Team EOS is what most people use. As far as rooting, you don't have to root to install a ROM. Unlock the boot loader, install a recovery, and flash the ROM.
Also, the third sticky should give you the info needed. Wasn't that hard to find.

am i still able to flash to other roms or mods without losing root? sorry im pretty new at this and i just finished rooting. i cant get wifi tether to work nor can i figure out how to remove bloatware from sprint. thanks for your help =)
That's the whole point of rooting..to flash custom ROMs and other mods. Go to the development forum and try one of the custom ROMs out. The instructions on how to install should be with each ROM. Have fun!

hi all I have the ATT nexus S and am very confused with all the posts.
I would like someone to point me in the right direction for the best way to get my phone from CM7 to ICS
sorry if this has been posted already but i have been reading and cannot find a concrete answer.
TIA!!!!
Wrong section. Anyways Flashing this from CWM recovery is just fine. No issues at all.
This belongs in the q&a section but to answer your question the easiest way would be to use this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20402775 it is rooted and you won't loose your cwm.

Wait for a proper ROM posted from the OTA 4.0.3 and then flash that. There is not a proper ROM posted yet. Do not flash any of what you see right now as you may loose the custom recovery and don't restore the nandroid from that thread.
Wait. Its almost here. Have patience.

I think it is better if we stick to cm7 until cyanogenmod releases its official ROM for nexus s because there are some good features in it which can not be found in any other ROMs

Is a proper ROM. Doesn't loose root. But if you wish to wait its your call.

If you have a I9020T or I9023 model, flash the respective LATEST (2.3.6) official gingerbread flashable rom, then download the update to ICS.
However doing this will lose clockworkmod + root. Though it's not too hard to regain those privileges.
thanks all i appreciate it and if i posted this in the wrong section i apologize
please remove it if need be
thanks again

Yeah, this is the easiest way for GSM phones already using a custom recovery/ROM.
I just tries cm7 for the first time. Haven't even had it 24 hours. I was running liquid nexus bread and what a nice change cm7 is. Way smoother! Why rush for ICS? I don't get it....??!!
Stay rooted and wait for a nice steady well built ICS rom... JMO

Hi all,
First of all, I am an Evo LTE owner so forgive my lack of knowledge regarding SBFs / anything Motorola. I am looking to flash CM onto a DX at a friend's request. The phone in question is running the latest OTA and is fully stock.
I saw the thread over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823112&page=2 with a new direct root method - is it possible to flash CM7 or any other custom ROM given this? I have seen a lot of comments that you can't downgrade to an older SBF and that CM4DX-GB seems to want a .605 SBF or something like that, I believe this phone is .621.
Is it possible to root the .621 with the "direct" method above, flash CWM and then flash CM or something?
Any help would be appreciated!
If you're on .621 you can absolutely flash Cm7. You need only root via the direct root method you linked, install recovery via Droid 2 Bootstrapper, and flash the ROM plus Google apps

Thanks so much. Do I need to flash CM4DX-GB or whatever that custom build is, or are the latest CM7 officials on the GB kernel? (From reading threads looks like they were Froyo for a while.)
Edit: Am I using this (D2B) or this (DXB)? What is the difference?
Don't flash the official builds. Flash the custom builds from Root wiki.
I recommend using D2B since DXB doesn't work unless USB Debugging is enabled. You can use either.

This should work over. 621?

Hey guys. If the title didn't apply, I am new to this forum. I just came from The evo 3d. Switched to this phone. While I think its very cool, I noticed that this forum does not have many ROMs or mods to play around with. That's ok. This phone is only a couple months old so I'm sure with time, more and more development will occur.Anyway to my point. I noticed that my phone is very different than my evo 3d than what I was used to as far as just flashing a recovery and installing a rom or kernel inside recovery. Gaining full s-off etc..
My questions is can someone show me what's different as far as gaining s-off
Method of installing roms
If someone would be kind to point me in the right direction that would be great. Thank you.

Its the recovery that we use with Motorola devices without an unlocked bootloader similar to twrp. We can flash basically anything but kernels and radios I believe. It also forces us to partition our internal memory unfortunately...but it also allows us to boot into multiple different roms without losing settings or apps

Yoo Sparta follow antp121's thread in the general forum for a complete guide on how to use safe strap for installing cm10 or any other rom for that matter. It will really help you! Helped me a lot... Especially me coming from the droid 3 with clockwork mod and no safe strap. Hope this helps.

Thank you guys for all if your very informative information. I will look into these links that were provided for me. I usually go and learn everything I can about a device before attempting to gain root, s-off, or unlocking boot loaders. So far I learned that its not possible to unlock boot loader or gain s-off. Believe me when I was on evo 3d. HTC made it very difficult for us to get s-off by patching up the exploits in the hboot by updating it with every ota update. Luckily, we had some very talented devs to get past the patches and come up with solutions.
I only hope the same could be done with the droid razr's boot loaders. I am just spit balling but would it be possible to petition Motorola to come up with an unlock method and post it on their website like HTC did. Again just spit balling lol
I just got a developer edition Razr M off eBay and I wanted to know if it comes rooted already or just unlocked?
I have searched but can't find rooting instructions for a Razr M.
Would someone be willing to point me in the right direction, please?
I'm also wondering, with the new software update, on the dev ed it should still remain unlocked even if the update is accepted, no?
Any help appreciated - thanks!

Which update are you on?
Head over to Motorola's website, or better yet Google 'How to unlock RAZR m dev edition'. You will need ADB tools on a PC and some knowledge regarding rooting. Anyway, the Motorola website will provide a code to unlock your boot loader. Which you have to input via ADB. Than you can follow the rooting instructions on this forum. Be aware if you do it via Motorola's website you need to make an account with them.
I did this myself and it worked

Hey man thanks for the info - could you please help me just a litte more?
The instructions for rooting that I'm able to find here all seem to involve using the "exploit" but isn't that for non-Dev Ed/locked bootloader phones?
I already unlocked my Dev Ed using the Motorola website so how do I root from this point?
Is it the same thing?
Any help appreciated - thanks!

Okay well the link that I had to instruct me on how to root my dev phone originally has disappeared :/ My best advice would be to try the exploit method, as the method that I did was what I consider a 'manual' way to root the phone as you must flash each package one after the other. Next best thing you could do is ask someone else on the forum. Sorry friend I will still upload the files that I used if you want to have a crack at it.
Flash the recovery image followed by the superuser one via ADB/Fastboot. Worked for me, best of luck.

Oops - too late, lol...
I couldn't get CWRM to work for some reason so I ended up using TWRP instead.
Did a "Backup" prior to rooting, does that count?
Not planning on flashing any custom ROMs or anything..

So your still running stock? If so just go into your recovery and run a back up to internal or external storage. If internal than get it onto another storage location straight away. That way if you do in the future plan to flash a ROM you can go back to pure stock if you brick it.

Yeah, stock for now. I used to mess around with custom ROMs when I first got my Thunderbolt but I'm so much busier at work and trying to keep a girl in my life these days, lol... I'm not good enough at this stuff like you guys to do it quickly, takes me forever to read every post and trudge my way through the How-To's.
If I find the time, I'd love to run a stripped down, battery optimized, de-bloated ROM, something like that...
I did do a backup onto the SD card, I try to keep everything on the SD card. Bummed they make it so hard or not possible to run apps from it. Makes no sense to me but oh well..
Thanks again!

No problem mate If you need a hand just ask. Also AOKP is quite good. It is probably the second best for battery that I've tried with CM10.1 being the highest, not including stock of course. I run it with themes and the such. Its quite smooth and clean to with not so many features which is good if you just want things simplistic. Let me know if you run into issues
