    Thread Problems with 3.2

    I restored my Xoom to stock 3.0.1 with the device locked, and update to 3.1 OTA. I then unlocked, flashed CWM (latest), and installed the 3.2 rooted.

    Thread [REQUEST] App to SBF a phone from tablet.

    I think this is fairly self explanitory. Would something like this be too difficult? I ask because I'm running CM4DX on my phone, and if I brick or bootloop it I'm stuck until I can find a PC. Travelling for work doesn't work well with this, and putting personal software on a work laptop...
