Hello everyone,
- This is my first post here seeking for help
- I'm new to the ROM and Rooting stuff
- I was hoping that after installing a developer rom will fix the wifi issue that I had after upgrading from 3.1 to 3.2 !
- Here is what I did :
1- I've rooted my wifi GTab 10.1 - android 3.2 successfully using Odin.
2- I installed the : [Task650's KMM(ANDROID 3.2!!!)]
3- When I rebooted the device it is stuck on samsung logo with the glowing thing around it.
4- I tried to do a wipe data/ factory reset. "it does the thing but it says before :can't access to '/system/csc/XAB/system/'."
and now it's still stuck on samsung logo for more than an hour !
DID I KILL MY SWEET TABLET ?
plz Help me!
thank you
here is an image of what shows up on the screen when i try to install from a zip file in the sd folder
it looks like that i removed everything somehow :S
you need ClockworkMod recovery to install Task650 Rom
A smart friend of mine fixed it =D

So please share the solution with us. I am in the same situation and i don't know what to do.
he simply installed CWM Recovery which is needed for custom roms. As you can see from the screenshot he posted, he was using stock recovery.

I've found my solution that was to use Overcome's recovery...i just think that an answer like "a smart friend of mine fixed it" wont help anyone that enters here in the future.

for start you should ask in that thread instead opening new thread.
second, have you wipe everything as stated in that thread, step2? to be more precise, wipe system before flashing that zip?

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and to rooting. I currently have a SE Neo (MT15i) with ICS 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431 or something close). I have unlocked my bootloader, i have installed fastboot, flashmode whatever. I want to root my phone, which program should I use and how do I do it? I have no idea what kernel is, what roms are etc...? Can you please tell me what they are? Thanks!
Update: I went on several threads such as the guide in the Neo V Dev, it was old, I'm not sure if it would work on my version right now.
I also went on Doomlord's kit which was about rooting a .562.
EDIT: After so much researching, I found out that my device is just NEO not NEO V
How to root - sticky thread in general section
Kernel, rom and all other basic things are explained in various sticky threads in neo sections as well as in arc sections. Also you can google it a bit. After you read that and you still got questions, ask.
Take some free time to read all that.
Maybe you won't get fast answer but you will benefit on a long run

Hello Madfysh, I just saw your thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690.
The thing is, I don't get the ROOT part of it :/. Specifically this,
How(for unlocked bootloaders): flash or hotboot any kernel with CWM and flash superuser... zip from attachment.
for hoooootboot you can use this kernel: http://www.4shared.com/file/LMJWQkxw/recoveryNeo.html or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1183465
flash: fastboot flash boot name_of_kernel.img
hotboot: fastboot boot name_of_kernel.img

Please explain a little further for a noob like me? XD
Also, I saw on the flashtool UI, there is a button called Root. Does it work on my phone? Should I do it?
Hi Mate,
you can root .431 by below method:
Rooting ..431
1. Flash .431 firmware , ignore if you are already having.
2. copy rootxperia.zip and Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip to sd card
3. Fastboot recoveryneo.img
4. Flash the above 2 files
4. flash .431 kernel
search for the zip,img and kernel in this forum , you will get it.
i hope u know how to fast boot, else search in this forum.
thanks.

Follow the same procedure if you are in .587 firmware (jus replace the .431 with .587 in that procedure)

As I said, since you are new, you should read some tutorials and threads.
You can ether hotboot that kernel using fastboot.exe or you can even use flashtool to flash/hotboot kernels, just pick fastboot mode.

Also, will this brick my phone? Again, just making sure -.-

Tehnically it's same, both are superuser app, which you can update, once you boot up your phone, from the google play.
You can use the one which you can find in that same thread.

And I don't see reason to brick your phone. Just follow instructions, many have done same, including me, and succeeded.

thanks for the tip.:laugh:
I think I've rooted it now, using superusersomething.zip
I got a few more questions though....
1. If I reset my phone to factory settings, will it unroot my phone?
2. Flashing to another custom firmware like say to Pureness, will it unroot it?
Thanks guys, couldn't have done it without you.

1) superuser is now system app, so no, factory reset should not remove root access,
2) 99% of custom rom's are already pre-rooted.

Ewww
I am a noob. Having Neo V running ICS .587 rooted & with locked bootloader. Used x-parts to install cwm and then installed Jelly Sandwitch rom. It was a success but after rebooting stuck at Sony logo. Could not go to recovery when I tried booting the phone again (I had to remove battery to switch off). After reading the steps once again, I find that probably I missed "Flash kernel modules via cwm". If that is true, how it is to be done? x-part has no such option and rom manager did not do that (When I press Flash CWM recovery, it gives my phone model and asks to confirm. Then it asks, if I have installed CWM Recovery manually as there is no officially supported one. Chooses the correct one as CWM 5.X.X.X but does nothing beyond that. If you press the flash button again, the story repeats)? Some one pl help.
1stly
X parts gives cwm
Which is to be installed again as you have locked BL
Also you can't flash any kernels
So you don't need WiFi modules
As you didn't change kernels
Follow these steps to install JS ROM
Wipe cache
Wipe data
Wipe dalvic cache
format data
Format cache
Format system
Install ROM
Done...
Install x parts to get cwm again !

You should understand it..
As for as searching..
Doing a search in Google also requires talent and experience to search exact word and exact phrase to get exact results..
How can a noob do a search without those things.. Hope you understand..

X - Parts is not working. I tried it before. And results were same. But I found another way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364509
Use this method.It works.But you have to install it again after you change ROM :angel:
And before you flash a custom rom ( stock based..your bl is locked )
Wipe cache / factory reset
Recommend backup.
Wipe dalvic cache
Format system
and install .zip .
I hope it will works.
And if you do something wrong like you forgot to wipe dalvic cache , just flash a stock rom
I hope it was helpful! Good luck!
And don't forget.You are noob.Don't try everything or BRICK! Lol..
Forget modules...other stuff.Look you have Neo V with 4.0.4 .587. Your phone is rooted. Your bootloader is locked.
And Jelly Sandwich is a stock based rom with stock kernel.If you want more performance like OC , you need a OC supported kernel.And no stock kernel has this support. Only custom kernels and you have to open bootloader.And if you are a noob, don't try it.
Modules was for locked bootlader kernels.But it is a long story.So just recover your phone with flashtool and install CMW. And wipe datas/caches .. install zip.

Thanks a lot. I was missing "Format System" as the developer has not mentioned in her instructions and got confused with her instruction "5a. Flash kernel modules via cwm" which I also thought was not necessary to start with but since I got stuck at "Sony" logo I started looking for the same but got no confirmation or otherwise hence added the post. I am now happily running this new ROM. Thanks again for helping me, regds, Madan Mohan

Thanks for appreciating the frustration. Believe me I have done thorough search for almost half day in various forums including XDA as well as YouTube but probably chosen a wrong path. I am a bit wiser now with the help in this forum and now happily enjoying my new ROM.

My apologies, if I broke any rule of the forum by adding new post. Not trying to justify but belive me I had searched XDA, other forums as well as YouTube for more than half day but probably travelled a wrong road. With Sony logo shining on my phone, totally frustrated I decided to seek help by creating a new post. It helped me and hopefully will help other noobs like me. I am now enjoing new ROM. I hope this learning will help me to be more thorough with my search. regds,
Always do that step if you get stuck up during installation
It works for locked BL always..
