Greetings

Any guide that shows you how to root + install CWM + Tiamat rom but replace tiamat rom with ICS!
Hey, it's pretty difficult to navigate all the threads and guides sometimes, I'm a new to XDA as well.
This thread should help you out, there's a breakdown below from me as well
If anything below is wrong, could someone correct me - my Xoom arrives today and below is what I understand the process to be from my reading ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798
1. Install Motorola USB drivers, Java SDK and Android SDK tools (for adb and fastboot)
3. Unlock the device or "bootloader") allows the flashing or replacement of recovery and boot images
4. Install a modified recovery image (ClockWorkMod recovery for Android). This is known as CWM and is an app that allows you to easily flash new ROMS and Kernals etc to the device.
5. Root the device (Allow r/w access to the device filesystem)
6. Do Nandroid (full backup) with CWM (Optional)
7. Party on and Flash new ROMS / Kernals etc!
====
You can restore your device to Stock by downloading a stock image for your Xoom model and flashing via Fastboot...
I can't post in the development forums so I figured I would ask here:
I understand how to use adb and fastboot, etc.. What I am missing is with the new ICS ROM it states that I must "fastboot flash system system.img"; however none of the ICS zip file I have seen come with a system.img file (just the boot.img).
Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated..
I used the version available on Rootzwiki... not sure if thats the answer you wanted. I'm running 4.0.3 ICS on my wifi XOOM OC to 1.54. No FC's, reboots or anything of the sort. You'll need to be sure that you have su-install.zip, and other img files needed. As I said, you'll find them all on the rootzwiki website under xoom hope this helps, if not good luck.
You are talking about two different things here. I don't know where to start here you're all mixed up. There are several ways to flash a ROM, you can fastboot flash the .img files such as what you are referencing to. Or you can flash an update .zip file from recovery. The way you flash the ROM depends on the source, if its a bunch of *.img files you use fastboot, if it's a *.zip file you use recovery. Just follow the directions given for installation that are provided with the ROM you are downloading.

Hello, and welcome to XDA! =] Anyways on with your question. There are two ways to flash a ROM to your xoom. One being fastboot/adb, where you use the command line on your computer to send commands to your device and make it do stuff. This is where you use system.img, boot.img, recovery.img.
The second, is CWM (ClockWorkMod recovery) This, as far as im aware, is the most common way. This is where the .zip's come in. Because you take the .zip you put it on your external SD card. boot into recovery (after flashing CWM of course) and flash the rom. CWM is nice because you can also make a 100% snapshot of your internal memory state via making a nanodroid back up. That way if anything messes up you have a 100% backup you can restore at anytime if you need it.
In a nutshell, You use *.img files with fastboot and .zip files with CWM.
Anyways. If you're new to rooting. Please check out these two threads, They'll help you get started. =]

Hi,
I have a small question. I own a Canadian Samsung 4 SGH-i337m, after reading the main guide for running other carrier rom on this address
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295557
As the guide mention that I didn't need the loki kernel and I could use my carrier kernel.
I used to backup my kernel with SGS kernel flasher to do the job, but it's not working for s4.
I wanted to backup my stock kernel and apply it after the installation of a cursom rom and apply it through TWRP. As I understood it, kernel is the boot.img, and I read somewhere that the way to create this is to copy the boot.img + copy the /sytem/lib/modules files. If I look to the file prepared by iB4STiD in the file MDOB-I337M-VMK6-FIX-4.1 present here, it seems that it's the case.
There is still flashify as a solution but you can't use the file into recovery.
Does someone know how to do it, or point me out where to find a guide where I can do what I want.
thanks in advance,

What type of ROM are you using? You have to be using a compatible kernel. AOSP ROM's won't work with a stock kernel, and you can't cross Android version between system and kernel. Using any custom kernel developed for your phone with this guide will work okay however.
Thank you for your answer.
in order to answer your question I was trying to flash the hyperdrive to my phone with compatibility pack. But after reboot I go back directly to download mode. So I figured that it was the boot partition that wasn't adapted to my phone.
So yes, I understand that if you flash a rom based on code as cyanogenmod you will need a custom kernel. but for a rom that is based on stock as hyperdrive rom, unless I'm mistaken, I would imagine that the stock kernel should work.:cyclops:
Is there a way to back it up?

My best guess is find out which partition it is and use the dd command OR download the ODIN of your firmware version and extract the boot.img. However, it would be easier to just use a custom kernel designed for your phone as if you back it up like that you either have to make it into a flashable zip or use heimdall to restore it every time.

Thanks for your answer.
That's weird as a nandroid is doing the job,that is hard to find how to backup a kernel.
anyway, I guess my best chance is to download a custom kernel and apply it after installation of the cutom rom. At first boot re apply a backup kernel with an app as flashify.
thanks youpi
Hey friendzz, this guide is for all the people who want to know most of
the things on tweaking their phone without doing much research on internet
I am putting up this guide because I was cheated buy someone while I tried to sell it on eBay and I have covered almost all the things which you can do in sgs2
1.rooting
2.custom ROMs (thanks to developers bcs they gave me lollipop on sgs2 before official on moto x2)
3.Overclocking
4.unbricking
1,ROOTING- We all know about rooting very well , in some phones it will be very easy like my ex, sgs2 ,or very difficult like my new moto series(g2 and x) .you can root galaxy s2 in two methods
A) using odin- just flash jaboos kernel or philz kernel using Odin 1.85 and you will be having you will be having a custom recovery+custom kernel+ you will be rooted
B) thanks to Samsung guys bcs they have preinstalled a recovery which does a good function like we can flash some zips (unless Sony which doesn't has a usable recovery itself)
OK in short just download SUPER-SU.zip and reboot your phone to recovery pressing volume down +home +power simultaneously .after rebooting armrest m select apply update from SD card > choose zip from SD card and select SuperSU zip and flash and reboot your phone will be rooted
Custom recovery
A) Odin- for Odin I have already mentioned the method in rooting section under Odin, when you root using that method you will be already having a custom recovery
B) recovery- find a compatible recovery and place it in your SD card>reboot to recovery>flash it like the rooting file
Custom ROM- this is the easiest part which is made difficult by many by the way they say, after flashing custom recovery you have to just download a custom ROM file and place it in SD card and reboot to recovery>select zip and flash it, hurray you are on a custom run now
This guide is just the skeleton of my guide and I have not put any links for the things because I am having exams tomorrow and I will be upgrading this guide every day
Please hit thanks for my dedication because even though I was exam I wrote this guide and if you encourage me here I will write guides on other phones also

Good Morning,
I'n a new signed member in this forum and i want to thank you for the job you've made to open this community. It's very helpful for the android modding.
However i have some doubts regarding the procedure to follow to make a complete customization of my Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML. My intention was to root it, but once i saw some of your Custom Rom i'm going to try to flash one of them on my smartphone. I have already read the theads of the FAQ but i haven't found nothing regarding the correct procedure. My intention is to root the phone and then install the custom Rom. I have seen that the boobtloader unlocked and the flashing of the TWRP are required, but i haven't understood the correct sequential operation to to all these tasks. I'll be very thankful if someone would help me and suggest me the procedures thru the links in the forums.
In past i have rooted my old Samsung S2 and flashed a custom rom but i have never touched the bootloader(?) or installed a custom recovery.
I did it by this order:
1.Root
2.Unlock Bootloader (Unofficial)
3.TWRP
4.Flash Custom Rom

Thanks, only a further question..
To root i'll follow the method two in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/root-newbie-root-instructions-zenfone-2-t3114063
to unlock the bootloader this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/congrats-to-bootlocker-unlocked-t3138547
to install the TWRP this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/z00az008-zenfone-2-t3265236
but in this case i don't know if i have to download the TWRP LP or MM version, in fact my device currently is running lollipop, but i want to install a custom rom (RR) which is running Marshmallow. Which one i should choose? and in this thread, there is no guide to install the recovery but there are only the download links, could you suggest me where to find how to do it? ..
Then i'd like to flash the RR custom rom following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/rom-resurrection-remix-mm-5-6-0-t3275854
So this is what i'm going to operate, is it correct?
Yes, this is correct. It doesn't mater what version of TWRP you use. Either works, and both can flash either LP or MM.
If you don't care about OTA:
Unlock bootloader with official apk
Flash twrp with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
Flash custom rom
