Friend, now that our tab is finally rooted.. thanks again to all who did this for us
Now, anybody have tried to downgrade to honeycomb after rooting?
How was the procedure, simple or tricky?
PS Procedure is suggested by Cat McGowan here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31723451&postcount=194
I tried but when I boot in recovery It sais E: /sdcard failed to mount can't found such directory
and when I put an SD card in it sais E:/sdcard failed to mount invalid argument
So don't know what to do?

Xperia tab??? There is no honeycomb update for them, correct? It may be possible to use AIO to change to a org tab s region. However this has not been confirmed to work. May brick device from changing region.zip though

OH, just thought you were new here lol. Look in dev for AIO tool, downgrading has been around for 6 months lol. Use version 4.0 not version 4.1 (bit buggy) check out my old FAQ in signature for details, Which is where Cat McGowan redirected you, Piece of piss really, can't mess it up, semi-automated.

There is no India 3.2.(1) anymore, removed from Sony servers. Change region to US (WIFI ONLY). Then you can downgrade to 3.2(1). Then you could change back to India. Use AIO too custom update to Downgrade to 3.2.1 with root (to be safe) even though the US 3.2.1 online here is rootable with the old method.
Good luck

Okay bro, i will try by changing region.
Bro, with AIO how can i get the pre-rooted version of 3.2.1, where i can i download prerooted 3.2.1. files? sorry for asking too noobish question bro

Run aio, change region > 25 > 1 for 16gb, 2 for 32
Download from my update links in signature, scroll down to US and download, copy to external sd card
Run AIO, 3 > 1 > hold vol up and turn on tab while still holding up, > let update run, when it stops AIO says select update, on tab choose update 0042 (you downloaded) > on pc y
Follow screen prompt, tahdah lol

Okay thanks, i think i will stay with ICS for now and enjoy root :fingers-crossed:
Downgrade to Honeycomb is VERY EASY
crack the ver num in prop files
then flash stock 3.2.1 rom by sd card
every thing will be done in 10 mins
but since you have not 3.2.1 rom of your regain,change regain is need
some good of 3.2.1
battery is more long life
more app and game
better ui
I somehow managed to downgrade to HC from link proved by condi in his all in one topic but it (hc) turned out to be kernal 10 which is unrootable
how can i root this baby now?
i think i need to upgrade first to r2 update then it will change the kernal so i can root it.

You will be very lucky to find that file. You should go up to ICS then preroot the HC update and then flash using AIO.
Hence giving you HC rooted.
Stifilz
THAT 3.2.1 rom is not easy to find
suggest you upgrade to 4.0.3 use ota
root it
then change to us 3.2.1 r2 rom,(Or china rom,i have it
last root it again
PS:not all ver#10 HC is un-root able!,my china 3.2.1 r2 is rooted by aio!
Yea bro, i have again upgraded to ICS but not with ota.. but downloading req file from stifilz bro's update thread. It all went just fine.
Yesterday, rooted it too. All well right now.
Now regarding HC, i have few doubts in mind. Can you guys please suggest:
-I have not yet understood how to install HC that is with kernal 10 which is rootable. stifilz suggested to install with aio to get the root on HC but i don't really get the steps. Can you please elaborate how to install HC and get it rooted step by step?
-In ICS, there is patch in aio to make it enable "Use sd card 2 as USB storage ", is there something available like this in HC?
-I sometime get microphone issue on ICS, has somebody else face similar issue and on HC microphone work well?
Thanks again guys for your help

normal HC is rootable,just use aio,make sure ver is 3.2.1,not 3.2
by now,only china #10 version is rootable,i 'am lucky chinese
maybe u can make a pre-root hc rom by aio,just like pre-root ics (just in theory)
-In ICS, there is patch in aio to make it enable "Use sd card 2 as USB storage ", is there something available like this in HC?
USB storage is ics ONLY
-I sometime get microphone issue on ICS, has somebody else face similar issue and on HC microphone work well?
i'am no care about that

First off i am following this tutorial androidforums.com/all-things-root-hero/54802-how-root-install-custom-rom-backup-more.html which seemed to be the most upto date and relevant.

And what im stuck on is running FlashRec.apk It Just refuses to work (backup), so im stuck, i cant get passed this stage
I heave read something about GoldCard? or something, is this another method?
And i have come across more threads about using the SDK on windows somehow...

As far as i'm aware if flashrec doesn't work you need to downgrade, try my guide in my sig for details.
Thats what i thought :/ I don't get it, i haven't installed a single update, and im on 1.5, and i got the phone when it first came out in the UK, so it wouldn't have been updated, unless over the air updates are automatically downloaded and installed without my knowledge or approval?

As you have found out those phones that have network specific ROMS, namely from the carriers named above will find it difficult or impossible to Root using the methods those with non-branded Hero's have.
The only way to install a custom ROM and or root the phone is the following method. As I have had no experiance with this method I am not going to be able to write out any instrcutions of my own, nor am I going to copy and paste someone else's work and take credit for it. Therefore I am providing you with the following link.

I hadnt installed any updates either but i still had to downgrade, and your tutorial worked pefectly
All newish G2 Touches are loaded with a more recent update (although they're still all 1.5.)
This means if you have a new G2 Touch you'll need to downgrade.
I had the exact same issue as you with the backups failing, after searching the internet and using multiple tabs, i finally gained root access, to make life easier for others I created a guide, give it a try, let me know how you get on

You can't root with the Wildfire on 2.2.1. You will have to wait till a software solution comes by.
Till now, the only way to root is to find someone with an XTC Clip (A hardware unlocking box), get S-OFF on your phone, and then downgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.1, and then root.
hi,
u must downgrade to 2.1 with RUU WWE in shipped rom and do unrevoke to root it. install wildpuzzle or impros or CM7 , so u can use live wallpaper.

Don't spread wrong information / misunderstanding among members please. Downgrading will work, but, it will just downgrade the Android OS from 2.2.1 to 2.1, but not the HBOOT, meaning even if you downgrade, it will NOT be rootable using Unrevoked.
As I stated, the only way as of now is to find someone with an XTC Clip box.

There's no info at all about when it will release. Sorry.
To install APK Files, first, just get any File Manager from the market (eg: ASTRO). Then, enable Sideloading by going to Settings > Applications > Tick Mark Unknown Sources. Then, simply open the APK file using the File Manager.
Is it possible to downgrade the firmware on the G9?
I just updated to ICS, but would like to go back...
Or, if anybody can tell me how to hide the menu bar completely for a kiosk application I am developing, that would be helpful.
This is possible in Honeycomb from what I can tell by killing systemUi, but not in ICS.

YES.
You can do this, if you flash ICS rooted version and than you can install Custom Rom 3.2.80 ! .....after that you can install firmware_archos_it4.aos , or may be you don't need Custom Rom. Try directaly after ICS root to install orig Honeycomb....IT shoud be ork too ! Good luck !
try this
http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_/3.2.8/firmware_archos_it4.aos
boot to recovery, then update firmware, plug tablet into your computer, put this in the drive that pops up
when i try to update with the custom 3.2.80 rom, it says I need an lzo file, not gz. Is there a way to convert it?
In the meantime, I am trying the original 3.2.80 from archos. (It didn't work - error 221).

I want to downgrade vom 403 zu 32.80.
im getting the same error 221 , i also want to downgrade to 3.2.80
i have no programming skills whatsoever, i just follow tutorials
something i did notice however was that the linux kernel for 3.2.80 was 2.x? and the kernel for 4.04 is 3.X
does it mean that the new release has made it unable to read the .aos from 3.2.80, like a new recovery menu
Please write to archos's technical Support!

Its correct behaviour. Thats because of sony.ro.build.incremental lowest valu ('1'). You can update (downgrade) to 3.2, then again update to 3.2.1,
and then to 4.03
Or change value to higher to get ICS update.
OR BETTER - wait for me (or other users) and we will give proper,
easy, step by step instructions.
I want to make ICS rom capable to use for every region

condi
Thanks for the quick reply Condi!
If that is normal behaviour, I might just carry on, and move through all of the firmwares, keeping them rooted along the way.
Will let you all know how it goes!
If someone can upload US firmware with is tablet.
EDIT : I wait for your tutorial condi ! You have time today?
i have a 16gb 3g italian tablet, if i change the region to us, and upgrade, and the change back the region to italian, will i lose the 3g support?

Bojanglez, I'm thinking the same as you - the only reason I rooted 3.2 was for the init.d support to run scripts for SD cards. Now that ICS supports that, is there any reason to root?....
Probably, there's always a good reason for it - CPU Master is as good excuse as any!
Anybody know if the Hotspot is disabled in ICS as in Honeycomb?

I can't get the update here in the UK yet anyway, so I will wait and see how it goes here.
If I can get a rooted version as quickly as the official I probably will, but I'm not sure I can resist the temptation just to upgrade if it becomes available before.

Likewise - the temptation to just go for it is great - BUT - we should be aware of the kernel situation (.10) that stopped some users from rooting. Best not to be too hasty, Condi might well present something to keep root. He usually presents something awesome!
Does anyone actually have this yet?
Hi,
I'm very sorry if the problem was in other topic, but I looked first 10-12 pages of topics and couldn't find anything. My wive's Motorola RAZR MAXX (european, retail,non-carrier) is still on ICS, newest software availible, but from time to time get massive battery drain from process called Multimedia. Fully charged phone can run out of battery in few hours, get hot like from the furnace and finally turn off out of "juice". We are aware of the problem, that this single process is draining the battery, since we've looked at battery manager and this process is beeing constantly restarting, causing 100% CPU usage and draining battery. Forced-close helps, but this process manage to restart in background and it's stupid to constantly closing it in task manager every time after finishing some tasks that trigger him to start again. So, are there any temporary solutions for this? Is Motorola aware of the problem and will fix this in upcoming JB update? And finally, when EU versions of RAZR/MAXX get official JB update?
Regards, Jacek

I'm really aprreciate the help, but this firmware seems to be a leak, not the official one, so I won't risk bricking phone (wife's), especially, we've got iMac, so no windows program work on it (I presume it's needed for forced flashing via recovery) and I've never done any rooting/flashing myself. I'll have to wait for official update via OTA.
But you've mentioned, that you're familiar with the problem - was it fixed with the JB update in your case?

This may not come.
Only few ROM are updated via OTA: Retail.en.FR, Retail.en.EU, Retail.en.AU, Vodafone.en.EU.
And I think your ROM version is not one of them :/
You need to change ICS to one of upper ROM, and then you can take JB update.

I bought this phone from normal store, it has motorola warranty (non-carrier, it's not imported from foreign country), I live in Poland. If you're right how can I make the update SAFELY on on iMac? Is it possible? The problem is getting stronger everyday - process activating himself randomly and sometimes it's too late to switch it off before it do some damage to battery. It's bloody anoying!
I'm sure that ROM 672.180.41.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU won't be updated to JB - This device will remain on Android 4.0.4 (ICS)
You can confirm that at Motorola website (Select Poland and Retail, then Motorola Razr phone):
https://motorola-global-en-roe.custhelp.com/app/software-upgrade-news/g_id/1995
You need to change ICS to one of updated ROM(Retail.en.FR, Retail.en.EU, Retail.en.AU, Vodafone.en.EU), and then you can take JB update.

Yeah, from what I found the phone won't get official OTA update - Motorola SUXX, won't buy any other phone from them, ever. I can't do flashing on Mac, even if I want.. Wife will be sooo disapointed, must find solution to this drain other way. Factory reset?

I'm not sure, I think you can do that, but you need ask someone else because I'm not good in this.

I think it's not enough.
As I know you must root your ICS, install Safestrap, install new ICS(one of Retail.en.FR, Retail.en.EU, Retail.en.AU, Vodafone.en.EU), root new ICS, install voodoo ota root keeper and buckup root, install JB update, I think this would look something like this.

Why rooting? Does just installing retail version of ICS and then doing OTA update to JB won't work?

I don't think you can just install other version of ICS without rooting.
Well, it’s looks like I’m ****ed up #$% I can’t update without rooting, I can’t root and update because there is no Mac tools for doing this, Motorola won’t plan to update RAZR/MAXX in my third world country to JB (get confirmation from support), and even if I’ll ask someone to make an update for me (if I found someone from near my location who know how to do this without bricking the phone) I still loose warranty because rooting void warranty. If I know all of this earlier I wold have never buy moto phone. Support guy told me that the only thing I can do is to make a factory reset, and if it won’t solve the problem give the phone to warranty. Either way I don’t have many options here – will try to reset phone first, it doesn’t take much time and doesn’t hurt.
But have one more question (maybe lame, but I’ve never done rooting) – since the rooting void warranty, is it possible to make an update to retail.UK JB and then COMPLETELY remove root with any trails it was on phone? So I won’t lost warranty and have newest software? If yes, then it will make sense to look for someone to help me with the whole update process.

Well, friend in the earlier posts said I can't update without the root, so I'm confused. If you're right, that I'm halfway to update, since I won't void warranty updating without root. Then I have to find someone with the knowlende how to do this and PC to actually do this.

You are sure, that to flash to other version of ICS, there is no need of root?

Take alook in the dev section and search rsdlite with this tool you can flash 672.180.41.en.eu (fastboot file has a different name)
There are many threads on how to
Then you upgrade to JB
Root is not needed for any of this
dude there will be some big media file on ur SD card which would be not able to read like in my case there was 1.4gb mkv video file which was not readable by mediaproces so it was constantly trying to update the gallery so becuase of such files which are unreadble causes media process to constantly run.....so check ur SD card whether u have any such file...if no then search for dev section for root and flash JB rom....
