[Howto] Update rooted 3G Xoom to 3.1 and get root

To make things easier here is a link to BRD's update to 3.1 I suggest you check it out for an easy upgrade to 3.1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074609
If you are already on 3.1 just flash the stock HRI66 system image and Tiamats boot image to get sd card support back from there you should be able to run BRDs update from the SD card in clockwork
I did this using CWR on a rooted Xoom
1. Copy the update to your sdcard and name it update.zip
2. Then you must flash the HRI66 stock boot and system imgs. No data is lost
3. After flashing through fastboot go directly to CWR and install update.zip from SD card
4. Then back to fastboot and flash the root31.img to your boot partion (link below)
5. Then reboot your xoom and push su using koush's original root instructions and you are rooted running 3.1
6. You can then use rom manager to reflash CWR.

Just have to wait for an updated kernel to has sdcard support back.
All credit goes to the people that did the actual work I'm just listing instructions. And of course you assume all risk in flashing and modding your device.

After using this method to update, could we re-flash a custom kernel (such as Tiamat 1.4.1) - or would that be incompatible for some reasonn with the 3.1 update?
Nice find/tutorial... this may be what many of us have been waiting for. Me, personally, I am waiting for a flashable .zip one-step update process. I maintain hope that it'll happen =)

Nice! It worked perfectly!

I tried flashing Tiamat 1.4.1, wouldn't recommend it, you'll have to go right back to stock.

I am doing this right now on my XOOM. I will update this post when I am done.
Thank you for the instructions
EDIT: works perfectly!!
Got confused at first and followed the whole guide to originally root...but then realized that you do not flash rootboot.img.
Only do the following code:
1. adb remount
2. adb push su /system/bin
3. adb shell
4. ln –s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
5. chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
6. exit
7. adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

props worked great

Cansay that this worked great. I love the update and I love keeping my root. The device is running smoothly with the stock 3.1. Good post indeed.

So a custom boot.img is a no go? Is this because of the different kernel or the (possibly different) initrd... for those that are confused by this question - remember a boot.img is comprised of the ramdisk and the kernel.

2. Then you must flash the HRI66 stock boot and system imgs. No data is lost
3. After flashing through fastboot go directly to CWR and install update.zip from SD card

How is step 3 possible? Every time I do step 2 I lose root (loading stock boot.img), and thus can't open CWR? Is there a way to get to CWR and install update.zip without root? I'm using it by going into recovery via an app.

Of course not. You can have a ramdisk with ro.secure 0 and the stock kernel, or you can use any kernel you like that will run.
(IMO, it's better to root with as small a change as needed, and if you want to use a different kernel, you can do so if you want separate to the decision of wanting root)

Again, just use fastboot (because it's unlocked), then reboot into recovery. Does that not work?

after you flashing boot.img and HRI66 system.img, type this in cmd, fastboot reboot
xoom will reboot to normal mode, then wait untill it completly settle to home screen, it will take sometime (it seems like bootloop but it does not, HC doing re-dalvik cache, so it takes time)..after it boot to normal mode type this in cmd, adb reboot recovery
you will reboot to cwm recovery (i'm guessing you have flash cmw before on 3.0.1) then follow the OP steps..
i'm on 3.1 now.. with no data loose and rooted ;-)

I am just wondering if sd card support is still there after the update (I am using tiamat kernel). Thanks

I was wondering if anyone could package the stock 3.0.1 kernel and system.img into an update.zip so this can all be done using rom manager? Thinking about it most likely not cause moto has been pulling system dump images

[Q] I can't use costum rom

Hello Everyone!
Two days before, I tried to install some costume ROM into my Galaxy W, but i wasn't successful. I had to flash with Odin.
In today, i decided to install a costume ROM all means. I have a stock rom 2.3.6. I do the rooting, after with odin i flashed the CWM. I put the selected rom into my sdcard, and with the CWM i started the install. The phone wrote, the install was succesfull, so i was very happy.
I did a reboot, and wait for the magic... but nothing. It wrote the samsung logo, after wrote the galaxy W logo, and freeze. I thougt it just installing itself, so i left back. Half hour after nothing, so i must used odin again, and install the stock rom. What do you change that, that I could install costum ROM? What problems am I doing?

To make things simpler flash stock ROM 2.3.5 as .6 can no longet be rooted.
Once ur have restored to .5 root it n flash CWM n flash ur desired ROM....

It's interesting, becouse i can root my 2.3.6. I have a superuser icon, so i don't know!

OH you used OC ROM........
you check this in post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441662
*Disclaimer*: OC may break your phone!
Recommend to use SetCPU set your default speed to 1.4Ghz. Adjust to 1.8Ghz only when necessary. Also it is recommended to set a Profile that will lower the speed in temp > 50C, you know, just in case.
OC is very hardware dependant. If you cannot boot or experience crash too often, this is not for you. Get this non-OC ROM instead.
Faster = use more power = more heat = less battery! Let me know how's the battery is like.
OC code was modified and compiled by a friend...

Hey,
You are doing all the required steps but i think you didn't read the ROM's posts.
I think whenever anybody uses a custom ROM he should read the relevent Rom's post.
Your problem is already there and here is the solution :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22087263&postcount=291

And, can I just add......if you use:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/download/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
to flash boot.img........
Be careful, Please, Please....with dd command.....it is not called Data Destroyer for nothing

You are right @irishpancake, he need to take special care if this is the only way to flash kernel.
i think there should be a safest method for this. I used to use fastboot for this, or there used to be a Android Flasher for this purpose and the chances to brick the device was near to 1%.
i used to do like that : fastboot flash boot boot.img
Cann't Odin do that ?, keep in mind i am new to Samsung

Check under "Settings" > "Wi-fi and network" > "Mobile networks". If "Use packet data" is unchecked, then that's your problem and unchecking it should solve it. If it is already checked or if you checked it and 3g still doesn't work, you should contact the dev.

Can you fix bootloop without connecting to a computer?

I was trying to switch from elementalx to franco kernel t give it a try but little ol' me went into franco's kernel app and pressed install within the app while I was still on Elementalx kernel. So now my phone is stuck in a bootloop and I don't have my usb c adapter with me until this Saturday. Anyways, does anyone know if it's possible to unbrick my device without having to connect to a computer? Thanks.

Dirty flashing your ROM might do the job. Or restoring kernel backup if applicable.

Unfortunately I didn't make a backup. I'm on stock rom so I'm not sure how that would work either.

I guess you have system root which is not compatible with franco. So you would need to unroot or flash a kernel with the right sepolicy.

If you have flashed TWRP on your device, it's possible; otherwise no

How so? Also, I used Heisenberg's root guide, no systemless.

If my guess is right and su is the Problem you could have a look at this post and try to do what the updater script (in the attachment) does manually via the terminal in TWRP (or in ist filemanager)

I honestly tried to use Marshmallow. Compiles kernels dozens of times. But no luck.
Reboots and lags does not suit me.
And decides to use 5.1.1, as more stable.

However, during flashing everything went fine except the build.prop install...

I got it sorted out actually, turns out it was because I was using the version of TWRP I got from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sma...24h-twrp-root-busybox-kernel-adiutor-t3365990
I initially skipped installing the one you provided above because I already had that one installed, but switched to the one you provided and reflashed with no errors!
One last question, is it possible to turn off the rounded screen corners? Is that something that can be edited into the build.prop or is it in kernel?

Reboot to Fastboot, and flash the TWRP .img from there. (note: be sure you are in the directory where the twrp.img file is stored)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot [I]twrp.img[/I]

adb reboot recovery
And viola. You can then flash this ROM.

When you flash with Flashtool, there is a box that says 'wipe'. Check the 'userdata' option.

thanks that worked!

Did you unlock bootloader? KK version 442 or 443? Add debugging enabled in settings? If all yes, I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. You could try different options, there are a few for KK - pimped kernel, Great devs kernel, and you could root with easy rootkit.
BTW - to restore your phone without flashing whole ROM again, check boxes under 'exclude' options for everything but kernel.

Do you have root access when you turn on the phone? Did you make sure USB debugging is enable in settings, and also check 'allow USB debugging' pop-up when you connect to computer? If yes to all, just restart computer and/or phone, and reconnect and try again. XZDR is solid. If you have root, it will work. BTW - is bootloader unlocked or locked?

Bootloader unlocked: Yes
Rooting status: "here is nothing" i guess not
i restared everything still not work but i guess its because i dont get the root acces thats my main problem when should i have got it ?
Another Idea: When i install the EasyRootTool v12.4 it ends with "creating vm <loljavasucks>" is that what it supposed to write when its finished? When i keep that Easyroot window open and start the dual recovery installation, the easyroot tells me "done, checking if device is rooted... error: its not"
So i guess the problem is that i still not rooted my device but i thought that is what i am actually trying to do with easyroot..?

Ok, try this - download this zip https://mega.nz/#!lh9i0AYI!iH3Vw5keSNo66CHvq3c6V9HMCWAWJ5FIYcZZ35U254g It contains 2 files, one is a kernel and one is a recovery. Also download supersu 246 zip from here https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1 and put it on your phone somewhere. Then connect in fastboot mode and flash the 2 IMG files:
'fastboot flash boot [name of kernel file].img'
'fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery file].img'
Then unplug and power on. When you see colored led, press volume key and you should get into recovery. When in recovery, flash supersu zip. Then power off, and connect in flash mode. Open Flashtool and flash the stock kernel from your ftf. Reboot and you should be rooted.

Thanks that worked! And now i flash the 4.4 stockrom and after that a prerooted version?

You can flash whatever you want now. If you want stock 5.1, you can use Flashtool / Xperifirm to download ftf and flash, or use Emma. You will lose root, but you can get it back the same way you just did. If you want to root 5.1 that way, you can extract boot img from advanced kernel and download latest twrp img, and just fastboot those, and no need to reflash stock kernel afterwards.
Advanced kernel - https://forum.xda-developers.com/so...rnel-advanced-14-5-0-242-kernel-v1-0-t3096060
Twrp 3 for Z1c - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862711713
Alternately, you could flash a prf, or any custom ROM you want
