I rooted my phone and i installed cyanogen mod. After hitting backup current rom, my phone rebotted and it now has a black screen with white, small letters that say "fastoboot." I'm new to this and do not know what to do!
If you installed CM7 on it there is your problem. Quit pushing buttons you don't know about. What phones CM7 did you put on your phone? Because there is no CM for the Zio. You need to do a lot of learning before you just do stuff bro. Go to the development section for the Zio and start reading.
Hope you have a computer to use.

Yea, i clicked on the first option. I don't even remember what it said, but thanks for giving me that tip. And yea that's how i found about the rooting.
I would recommend starting in the Easy Clockwork Mod Recovery thread as that is required stuff for running a rooted Zio. You have to know or learn how to use Adb/Fastboot from your computer. Im assuming you were trying to install/backup the rom on Rom Manager. Thats a nono on Zio.

You are very vague in your entire description of what you did and what is happening now. If you have CM running on your phone I would sure like to know how, and what phone it was built for, because I am certain no one has ported CM to the Zio. You said you installed it and now it's working, this should be impossible. Are you sure you installed CyanogenMod? And if you did where did you get it from? And where does it say Digital Roaming?

First I downloaded z4 root on my phone. The next thing I did was install Titanium Backup from the market. After all this was downloaded the phone was rooted and i was able to delete preloaded apps such as sprint tutorials and other stuff i didn't want. Then I downloaded ROM manager which is where I downloaded CyanogenMod and chose 7.1. I chose the first option on the list since i didn't see the sanyo zio and it worked. The last thing i did was attempt to backup the current ROM and that's where it took me to the black screen where it said fastboot. Idk what i did, but when i tried turning it on for the last time, my phone was back to normal. Usually the connection status says 3G, but now it says that i am roaming.
Does that help?
Yes. First off there is virtually no support for Sprint Zios. Second off I would try to get in to your roaming settings and turn it to home only. Thirdly I would try to find out what phones ROM you have on your Zio(what phone the CM ROM was built for). Fourth and finally I'd say you are about a step or two away from bricking your phone out completely.
If you have insurance on it I would (lose it) and get a new one thru insurance. If not I would be very careful about what you do or try from here on out. I will check and see if the recovery for the Cricket Zio also works on Sprint, if it does I believe there is a Stock Rom from Sprint for the Zio here somewhere and that may just save you. May.

Im thinking he didn't flash anything and is somehow back on original set up. He's not said it was running CM7. Just that its running. With a model id of Zio its super unlikely he successfully flashed anything. Kernel id and mod version will tell. But anything is possible.

Well one last thing im concerned about is it is still saying "Digital roaming"
I would try reprogramming it. Update Radio and Prl. On Cricket we had a number to dial. Like #blah blah#. Find out if Sprint has a number like that.

how can i root this droid. it's an early edition of the droid it even says "confidential motorola restricted property: not for sale" and where the meid is located it says
"motorola
engineering use only
not for resale
cdma sholes hw p2p"
I've tried to root the phone but it didn't work.
Not sure if this will work for yours but have you tried the rooting instructions for 2.1 android
There's a section for tutorial in this forum for it. The first part of the flashing process which uses rsd lite to install the Droid 2.0.1 sbf file actually erases the current version of android installed with all other info except for the sdcard and installs the 2.0.1 version from a blank phone. And from that point you can root to what ever you want but like I said I don't know if its possible with you device and not sure if will harm it but it maybe worth a shot. Also yours is an engineering version of the device so it may already be rooted or other ways to flash Roms that aren't known of. You might be able to search the Motorola site for developer software or something like that because HTC has a section of their site for their developers to download stuff for them to use so Motorola might have a similar site. Both are worth a shot if possible. Good luck.

I also found this. Its a Google site where some one has similar problem with your version of firm ware. It tells the person some how he ended up with an test build or engineering version of android and says Giro Verizon to have them reflash a consumer version of android. It also in howardforums
Your model is called voles because it is the name Google used for Motorola Droid. So damn yours must be a dinosaur. Lol. That being said though you Havering an engineering version of Droid from Google can't be impossible to do anything with but there also might not be any current rooting roms. Or anything anyone else would have to help you. Your probably going to have to search for some developer firmware or software you can use to work with the phone. Its not I'm possible to find but wont be easy. Sorry for bad news. Good luck.

Is you Bootloader unlocked? That was my main question... if so - that could really help some devs out. Hold down your Up arrow of your keyboard down while booting up.
Email me if unlocked please...
Looks like you've got a very interesting handset there. Take good care of it, 'cause you could unleash a whole world of things (how the "real" Droid made it's debut).
Maybe poke around with ADB and then find out the CPU and such? It could be a early version with a 700Mhz CPU, for example. As for the android installation, it looks like it's using Android 1.5 or even 1.6...
BTW, how'd you get it? eBay?
I bought it in a flea market for 100 bucks
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
So have you contacted AdamZ or checked if the bootloader is unlocked? Before you flash anything it would be REALLY helpful to know if it is...as people have said it could really help out the developers. Seems we've had other engineering samples floating around but people flashed them to stock...locking the bootloader.
Hello All,
I've long been a lurker but I decided to join today for some help. I've also decided I'd like to root my Tab.
One of the things I want to root it for is the Wireless Tether app. I just wanted to ask anyone that uses it to verify it works and if there are any special steps to make it work. I intend to use Z4Root then get Wireless Tether from Market.
I'm also considering overclocking, any App suggestions for that? I'd also like to know if anyone has any custom ROM suggestions.
Thanks for tolerating my newbishness and for the replies.

That's true. Sprint CDMA Samsung Galaxy Tab, SPH-P100. Not too sure what other information would behelpful.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
I haven't used tethering, but am pretty n00b to Tab root. I rooted my Sprint SGT using oneclickroot, and it worked great, but haven't done much else. I plan on setting up CWM, and flashing my first Rom today, to prep for the HC port. Since I was planning on it anyways, I can let you know what I do, and what the outcome is... there are plenty of existing threads for that though... I'll test wireless tethering, and let you know!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Thanks Phil, I'd appreciate you testing Wireless Tether on there before flashing it if you're willing to. I don't really have plans to run a Custom ROM at the moment (except maybe the HC port when spacemoose finishes it), but I do want to know if WT will work.
Z4Root no longer works for the sprint tab. You will need to use superoneclick to root. To overclock you can get SGS Kernel Flasher from the market. I am using Bauxite's kernel and love it.
I just got a tab today (t-mobile version). I already own a vibrant (running bionix). Which ROM is the best for the tab....especially to speed it up?
You can only temp root (and permanent root) your device using Visionary application. I've tested it and working as expected.
Why would you want to root the device is it to just put a better rom on it? I assuem you could also put the Honeycomb rom on it as well right?
Maybe use another flasher instead of SGS?
It might be just my case, but all the times I used SGS it has borked my Verizon Tab. Not sure if Sprint is the same way. I was able to recover to a default state by using the Verizon orginal restore files and Odin.

If it bricked your tab were you able to send it back to Verizon and get it fixed? How does that work? If you can't tell I am new here trying to figure out which tablet to get and how to fix it when things WILL go wrong on my first root.

Sorry wrong choice of words, I meant to put borked. Bricked means not being able to bring it back. In my cases I was able to bring it back to default by the Yellow screen download mode. I will correct my post.

Which kernel flasher did you ultimately find that worked with your Verizon Tab?
ok, so im not an idiot, needless to say that rude video they showed when you sign up to this glorius forum.

You need to find your sprint files and flash it back to stock. I installed HC and it just plain ain't ready. Search google for stock sprint kernel and rom. That's what I had to do to get back to working.

Just so you know no one made you flash the rom. It is an alpha, and things will always go wrong!
If your mad it should be at yourself. The only people who should be flashing this should be people who can get themselves out of it.
And yes, to geet out of this get something flashable with Odin/Hiemdall and go back to stock.

No! The kernel is the key to getting it up and running. Yes it is thrown together and somewhat crude bit it works.
Follow up on the progress as things should get fixed rather quickly and try again with a later build.

How was the video rude??
It was blunt and to the point. If you felt it was rude then I can only assume that you felt it related to you in some way.
The video is intended to make it extremely clear that 99% of all the questions n00bs/newbies (what ever you want to call them) think of asking have already been asked and answered in abundance. Its also designed to make them think twice about where and when to post aswell as to use the search button.
Now before you think im saying you fall into this category, im not. I'm simply telling you that the video is 100% necessary as staff and the community in general have really had enough of all the crap.
Anyway, back on topic. You should really stay clear of the HC alpha builds and wait for a beta or final. Flash back to stock or custom for now.
I get what he is saying, as I too have encountered the same problem. I've searched and searched, and I've spent most of the week flashing back to stock with heimdall.
I think what he is referring to is the conversion to ext4. It appears CW3 is not successfully converting to the ext4 format. I've even tried the Verizon bootstrap app with the same results, multiple mount errors.
jjenkins09, On a side note,you did come off a little rude, and a little more research before claiming to be pissed may have worked a little better for you (Honey catches bees).
I would love to know if anyone has had success flashing to EXT4 with a Sprint tab, and if so, Could I borrow the zImage and see if the problem is isolated to my tab.
As im glad for any advice , i did actually do a good bit of reasearch, but i feel where your coming from

I know i can find my answer just by looking but i really wanted to post for the first time so here's my question- My tab is in the post (got it from ebay as i'm a pauper and can't afford it new, or the 8.9 or 10.1) and obviously want to root it straight away. I've seen that some are using z4 root but my sgs won't accept this method, can i be sure it'll work?

First you're not stupid. You're just new and learning.
Second your tab judging by its firmware is gsm european tab.
Third you can root using superoneclick root.
Fourth. Head to the development section and you will find alot of great roms (or click on my sig if you're interested in overcome). JUST BE SURE TO READ ENTIRE GUIDES AND STUDY THEM BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING.

dont mean to come off like a **** with this post, but a Cyanogenmod release literally doesnt happen overnight....and they wont support it until someone does the work of getting it built and working on the device.
