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.
hello eveyone,
I'm italin so first of all I apologies for my engish.
I recently bought a second hand a500 dvice. The following is the firware i read in the tablet
kernel: 2.6.36.3+
build number: ACER_A500.7.006.01_COM_GEN1
I would like to know if this one is the last firware for my european tablet or not.
If no, how many update I have to do ? I can update directly to newer or I have do update to the newer updating step by step the previous first ?
The application root explorer is able to give me root permissions or the root permissions are required to install root explorer.
This phantomatic root is secure, I mean after the root the tablet is able to run as before or there could be some mulfuntionality?
Thanks for your answer
Ma poi con il root si hanno conseguenze ? Tipo rallentamenti e malfunzionamenti ?
Grazie.
If you don't have the newest version, and you are running stock, then your tablet would notify you that there is a newer version available. It looks like there are newer versions. I couldn't tell you for sure because I am running a custom ICS on mine, but it would appear there is a 7.014 version that came out in December of 2011. Hopefully someone can elaborate on this statement.
If your tablet it rooted, it will still run the same as before, but I would be a little weary when an application asks for root permissions. If you don't know what you are doing you could mess up your tablet. If you don't understand root and aren't too interested in it I would deny access to your apps that ask for root just to be on the safe side.
update available
im sure update is available for your tab
but i dont know the exact build number
root access doesnt cause any malfunctioning on your device
it just let apps on your tab to access system files
but as said in past post you could mess up your device
so i recommend you to learn about rooting your tab
its sooo helpfull to have it
some apps require root to work
but learn before you do anything to your tab
youll make it a brick if you do sth wrong
and you will find so usefull info on development section of a500 forum and general android forum
search xda and youll find anything you need
have fun
Hello everyone, yesterday i'm was with my 5.0.2 stock firmware with root and finally got some balls to update it with the "pre-root" method and everything's work's so bad, after install recovery, and did all the wipe's, I went to install the pre-root zip, and comes, crash after crash, finally, I use my PC-Companion to revive my cel phone, but now, it's 5.1.1 with no root (this is totally bad) So, searching in the internet to collect all the methods and try to use the better explanation, i find this video, and this site, I really think it's just a flammer or something like it, but, i prefer try, because i'm afraid to do all again and do the same crashes and again and again and again..
Humm, i'm seeing that i can't post links because i'm newbee here, so, the video is the 1 if we search:
How To Root Sony Xperia Z3 D5803
And the link for the site is in the description, it told to enter in a site, plug the cel phone and click in one button.
Ty guys, i will w8 for some answers.
PS: sorry about my bad english.
For my part I don't use this method because KingRoot has a "malware" (link) from what I read on different forums then it's quite persistent. I advise you to follow the traditional method : link.
Regards.
Hi,
I just received my brand new tablet Asus Zenpad 10 Z300M and I am wondering if there is a way to root it or not ?
Thanks for your help,
Regards.

I have this tab as well. Remain patient.
Previous models of the Zenpad family had Intel Atom choosers, the z300m is a Mediatek device. It will take to e for development tools to reach us. I'm on this as well
Here are the hardware specs of this device:
This post will be updated with logs as I can make them.
Asus Z300m
Model number P00C
Mediatek MT8163 Quad-core 1.3GHz
2GB RAM
Marshmallow with security patch 5th July 16
I have so far been unable to do a ptrace or manual root via adb, NONE of the tools I have used have gained root
Hello, i also want to root my Asus Z300M.
Any news about root?
Thank you.
I'd like any information on this as well. Thanks to anyone who may be working on it.

I'd like to root this tablet as well. Really sucks there's no method.
Anyone get anywhere with this model? p00c? Been lookin all over and haven't found much on this tab. Thx in advance.
Just got this tablet last week. I'd love to see it get root as well, but can live without it if it never gets root. Thanks in advance to anyone who is working on root for this device.
This model has been out for ages now, so I'm amazed that there is no root?? I would love to get rid of the Asus bloatware - that said it's an amazing tablet for bigger all money!!
Someone has news about rooting it ?
Looking forward rooting it, I really need multi user support.
I need root too. Cheers to anyone working on this.
Has anyone tried to root this device following the Z300C guide?

Have you tried? I don't think it will work. Different CPU. Really sucks because this is a great tablet plagued by Asus crapware.

Would this work with the z300m? Need to move apps to SD as filling up the internal fast!
Still no root?
I got myself a 128gb SD card so I could throw all the apps on it, only to find out when the tablet and SD card arrived that you cant move anything over <_<
So now the card just sits in the tablet doing nothing. So Sad
Still no root for this ????

Asus ZenPad 10 Z300M (P00C) Android 6.0
Has Anyone had any luck finding a way to unlock the bootloader on a Z300M (P00C) (marshmallow 6.0, Android security patch level 1 December 2016)
I'm trying to root it so I can change the ROM on it to the new Android 7.1 . I've been reading all the post in hear about it, Tried all the intel stuff (no joy) KingRoot doesn't work, Won't pay OneClick.. Came across some dodgy webpage with a program called Autoroot tools V3.0 Which wants you to install some software first before it lets you download the program....... very suspect.. so no. Back to square one No Unlocked Bootloader, no root....... can anyone help ?
Hey there,
Just bought the AQVW71. There are a few bugs to eliminate. Root could be very helpful for that. Did anyone root this device yet?
