Default Tried to go to 2.2 lost root even after restoring from CWM backup...sigh...

I installed the 2.2 update from 2.1b. It just sat at the Iconia Tab cylon screen for 10 minutes. I powered down and installed trips 3.7 kernel...rebooted and same thing.

Went back to my CWM backup but now I don't have root anymore. Had root right before the CWM backup because I did a Titanium backup right before attempting the upgrade.

How do I get root access back without having to drop back to 3.0.1?

Thanks!

You can always download SU directly and flash it with CWM. Worked for me

Did the trick even though it said that it failed during the install when creating the symbolic link...

Default Market FCs on fresh install

I installed this ROM yesterday and now the market force closes. It was sort of ok after the initial boot. It force closed but then Android did it update/install all your crap sych thing and i was ok.
After a reboot today, i cannot get the market to open for the life of me...

Any pointers? I did a full wipe/factory reset from cwm and cleared the caches for good measure....

I may have jumped the gun on the [Q] as i just found two apks and instructions on how to manually replace the market a few pages back. I will see if this works. Seems strange that this happens to some and not others...especially after a FULL wipe?

The real question is: wtf? What can i do so i dont have this issue next time i flash? Some ppl have suggested that this ciuld be a settings/lcd density issue....but i changed no settings from a frsh install.

Is anyone experiencing random shutdowns? I get one almost once everyday.

I also have another dilemma, the tablet is fully charged, but the lock screen says, "connect to charger." Any solution for this? I already wiped the battery stats and the problem still persists.

Using the newest kernel from Thor.

Thank you!

I installed the rom from a clean wipe.

Did a full wipe and installed the apps i wanted to keep, Rom is working perfectly now.

Takes less than a minute to boot, Use to take 4 minutes.

So excellent work Vache, Loving your rom.
