[Q] How to install Timat Kernel?

[Q80]

Hello Forum,

I tried to search to see a related topic but I didn't find but other topics in other forums that's not related to the Xoom.

I'm a n00b and don't know how to flash this Kernel to my xoom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013

I know that there are steps in the thread about how to install the kernel but I think it's not enough for n00bs like me

So where to download ADB and where to write the given commands?

Thanks a lot guys in advance!

If you don't know how to do it and even can't find the information how to do it, then I suggest not to do it, you can brick your Xoom in the process.

Search for a ADB on google. Read how to use it and what else you need, the information is there.

You need to write the commands to CMD.

But again, if you don't know what your doing then its not a good idea to mess with it.

You can find some guidance here and it is quite simple once you get to understand what you are doing, but as suggested by poisike, shouldn't be underestimated as making a mistake can be costly (ie bricked device).

Install android sdk http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

Download fastboot http://developer.htc.com/adp.html it into the ../platform-tools folder in the sdk path.

Install the moto drivers http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Support-Homepage/Software_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers

Make sure your unlocked and rooted. If you have the wifi xoom follow

or if you cant be assd run oneclick unlock & root for wifi http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196

Then run the steps in the Tiamat thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013

And seriously, you should have done more reading and found the prescribed above method yourself.

With your help I'm no longer .. hopefully .. a n00b

I did some reading after your hints and next time I promise I won't ask without reading much

Thanks a lot again!

Hey everyone,

I have a question that I haven't found an answer in the 71 page Timat Kernal post.

I currently have my Xoom root running 1.1.6, no problem. I will be upgrading to 1.3.1 or the next version. What I want to know is will I loss all my apps and data when I upgrade?

Nope, I assure you that nothing will happen to your data and apps .. it will stay the same
if and only if you are already unlocked/rooted if not then you will lose them when you root your xoom.
Now what are you waiting for
Go ahead and flash the kernel

Thanks guys, that's what I thought. It was the unlocking of the bootloader that wiped the device the first time.

I'm kind of waiting for the next kernel, according to BRD its' rocking fast. As I understand it they removed ALOT of DEBUG code from it.

Cheers

Speak of the devil ... the new kernel is UP!!

 

[Q80]
