New image to XOOM MZ605. Please!!

Today I received my XOOM and lost it at the same time.

I tried to Root it and I couldn´t. I think there is no way to root for model MZ605. Now I need urgently a new image for it.

I've tried the recovery but did not work.

Please could someone help me?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandro.bertini:
Hi there,

The method of rooting for the European xoom works fine for the mz605. I've done it and upgraded to 3.1 and it works great.

The guides I used are in my signature, if you needhelp in portuguese or have any doubts please PM me.

Boa sorte! E cuidado.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrego:
sandro.bertini,

How do you get root?

The UK model is quadriband? I think not, but the Brazilian model is.

Como você conseguiu fazer root?

O modelo UK é quadriband? Eu acho que não, mas o modelo brasileiro é.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandro.bertini:
jrego,

I got root by following the instructions in the guide which is linked in my signature, just click the word “rooted ”.

The european model is quadbend for gsm and triband for wcdma (3g). The brazilian model is quadband for both, bjt the guides work great anyway.

PM me if you need help in portuguese.

Good luck.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StealthNet:
Folks,

I´m trying to figure out how to update my stock brazil MZ605 to 3.1 with root (preferably).

No news about an OTA update (so far haven´t heard of any1 that managed to get it around here). Otoh, I can see that ppl from Brazil already managed to update and root it.

So far, I think that I´ll need to:

root 3.01;

update it with code from US version;

update / patch it with some of the european version;

root it;

Any1 working on a specific guide ? I can´t wait to use 3.1!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandro.bertini:
StealthNet,

I have mine working great in 3.1, as I state some 2 or 3 posts before yours.

Just follow the links in my signature:

1) Root using the link in the "ROOTED" word;

2) Install CWM Recovery using the instrucions in the CWM thread, does not matter the Xoom version;

3) Update to 3.1 using the Euro method (the link is in my signature in the "HC 3.1" phrase). I pulled the files using ADB instead of doing a full backup and wrote my own build.prop. Read the guide and you will understand what I mean.

4) If you want, flash the last Tiamat Kernel (you need to flash the 3G boot image that BRD says its for Verizon but don't worry, it doesn't break your 3G). The link is in the "Tiamat 1.4.4 Full Throttle @1.6GHz" phrase in my sig.

Good luck. If you need help in Portuguese PM me.

If any of the forum mods are reading this, can we please look into, or possibly even put into effect a structured dev forum the way the HD2 community has? Everything is clean, uniform and organized.

I think this would help out everyone. Any new threads, or anything should follow the same rules. etc. here's a link to their dev forum.

[Vibrant General] oka1:
Hd 2 different animal, you have winmo 6.xx section, then you have windows 7 section, then you have android section and meego..etc. Totally different format. What would be nice is to have the postings tagged so whatever the version is 2.1 2.2 or 2,21 or 2.3... it was organized that way. But, I asked this question and according to the Moderator they system can't do that and they do not have time to do it manually........... so there you have it...........
[Vibrant General] rolfd:
I'll keep an eye on this to see what other opinions are floating about, but oka1 has said it all really!

If there are any great ideas, then do post them and we can flag them for the admin to consider.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
It would be better as OK1 suggested if we had the development thread divided by the versions. But to be honest, it ain't that difficult to post or find a thread here. All good.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
The moderators can't do anything about how messy our forum is, we can and there won't be enough of us to help with the "cause" so might as well end it here... i do like oka1's idea though.
[Vibrant General] javolin13:
Well like oak said, to add the tags, but my idea was mainly to keep the format ie:

[kernel/ROM/mod][updated date][version][name of rom/kernel][o/c no o/c etc][anything else]

and to make it mandatory, i think a little order would bring some more maturity to things... if everything is unorganized and chaotic then the way people act will be likewise (in my opinion of course)

and as far as not EVERYONE doing it, those that don't update their roms will slowly fade into the pages thus not being brought back up, but i do believe most of the roms/kernels that are active right now the devs do care about them, and the new format is not something that should be taken as a "bad" thing, but something again to bring some order to such a young group of viewers.

now again this is my own opinion, feel free to have your own, but please be mature about it.

your mentality on looking at things is very pessimistic, which is why if it doesn't work, where in lies the problem. inability to change and adapt to new things. Change is good, it keeps things fresh and interesting, nothing has been done or changed which i think in the end is hurting this sgs community.

nothing against you saying that you're "always" pessimistic, but that line was.
[Atrix 4G General] tnedator:
My battery life has not been as good since I upgraded the ROM a few weeks ago. The biggest culprit seems to be the Android System and Android OS. Each of them typically use about 8-10% of the battery, so it's not uncommon for them to have used 20% of the battery combined.

In addition, Android System uploads a bunch of data. In a full day, Android system typically sends 3-5 MB and receives 400-900 KB.

Android OS (is this all apps combined??) has uploaded 500-1000 KB and receives 10-20 MB.

I've frozen the apps on the receommended list (except for a couple I use like the ATT code scanner). Use no social network stuff. I do have Exchange plus two Gmail accounts + 3 K9 email accounts setup.

I can't seem to manage any setting change to reduce the battery/data usage of these two.

I've done all those things except for (Settings > Data manager > Data Delivery > social apps > sync over wifi), which I did actually do a couple hours ago on one last run through the settings to make sure I hadn't missed anything before posting here.

What the heck is android system uploading? Is that motoblur backing things up? I have searched XDA and googled and while I have seen the question about Android System with large uploads, I have yet to see a solid answer as to what's going on.
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
I think it's constantly receiving contact numbers and contact photos and status' from facebook. no way to turn that off i dont think unless your rooted. i know anytime i call someone, their status and facebook pic is new and haven't seen it before almost every time.
[Atrix 4G General] tnedator:
I am rooted, and have frozen most of the apps on the recommended list.

I don't have facebook or twitter accounts setup. Only Exchange, Gmail and some K9 IMAP accounts.
[Atrix 4G General] xmrgamerx:
using traffic monitor, i found that the calibrate compass service, which seems to be a whole suit of services sucks down a lot of data. its been using about 1gb data a month. which im sure is putting some strain on the battery.
[Atrix 4G General] DarrellRaines:
Multiple email accounts will cause a great deal of data usage on their own. Especially an exchange account and a gmail account.

If you can, why not use the gmail account to send and receive all the email for the imap accounts. I do this with my business accounts and my personal email.

You also may be syncing your contacts and all with both the exchange and the gmail account which would cause extra data and would be a bit over kill.

Apart from the switch to a capacitive display are there many changes here?
[Ideos S7 General] Stella331:
great i've been waiting for it. Does it have 3G? Didin't see that in the specs maybe i missed it.
[Ideos S7 General] JamesDax:
Looks like this new one comes with a 1Ghz processor instead of the 768MHz of the old model. These are the bands and modes it supports:

UMTS.HSPA 850/1900/2100MHz, GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz

Can anyone tell me if this supports T-Mobile 3G or is it just AT&T?

For $299 this may not be too bad. Going to wait and see what price the Acer 7in comes in at though.

A little more info. This new device is apparently called the S7 Slim. A much nicer looking device then the oringinal.

Here is a link to a video for the device:

Huawei S7 Slim $299 from best Buy

I just pick one myself $299 + tax at Best Buy WITHOUT contract.

And it has slot for GSM however the 3G only work with ATT,Tmobile you will stuck on Edge network.

If you are on T Mobile better use tethering from your phone to get 3G speed. (Cost $100 extra and need to send tablet back to huawei)

There are free apps from huawei to download to make this as cell-phone.

Its definitely slimmer than the original S7. best Buy staff doesnt even know how much ram it has and they dont advertise it on the specs either.

I just test it only has 256 RAM for user access

GPS

WIFI: B/G/N ( Doesnt want to pick up with my N router signal only pick up G signal)

Bluetooth

Built-in:accelerometer

Microphone and speaker: Stereo

Problem:

When you turn on for the first time (even connected through wifi) it doesnt want to connect to any google server ie: market and etc.

keep stating no data connection.

Work around:

do factory reset with data wipe and reboot.

Connect wifi and set up your market straight away within 10 minutes.

DO NOT I repeat DO NOT install any type of launcher since it will soft brick the tablet. Huawei doesnt support third party launcher (weird they didnt block it from the market)

If you install different launcher and activate it, once you reboot you wont be able to do anything on the screen. The screen will rotate ok but you cant select/tap anything basically making it useless.

You cant even turn off the tablet without removing the battery.

In order for you to get it working again either Flash the rom, or if you have set the USB debugging mode prior instalation, you can use ADB to remove the 3rd party launcher and reboot (Boy I was lucky to turn on the USB debugging).

For $299 the Hardware is not bad (even when Best buy trying to cut corner).

The display also good and has a good viewing angle (Compare to Nook color which I rated 10/10, this one got 8/10 and much better than Viewsonic G tablet 5/10 )

The stock launcher only work in landscape mode (home) and take so much RAM with no other application running I can only get 102mb free memory the most.

I tested with Zeam launcher the free memory goes up to 205mb, however this is a NO NO since you wont be able to access the device (with 3rd party launcher) after reboot.

If you have audible sound selected you will hear the speaker chirp whenever you touch the screen and becoming very annoying.

This tablet is one powerfull machine with affordable price however the software and stock launcher are buggy and crappy. Unless someone develop a custom ROM to unleash this monster, this tablet will go back to Best Buy next week.

Well so far the only glitch in my rooted 4 day old G2x is that for some odd reason,

Lots of times when I go to pull out of my carrying case the phone goes into CAR MODE menu screen? Driving me nuts!

I am not not pushing anything.. It happens alot when I go to answer call then I can get back to phone screen to answer call after exciting CAR MODE>

I am thinking I could delete car mode. However I would like to see if anyone else is having this issue?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
read somewhere there's a magnetic sensor in the phone so if you make contact with magnets in your pocket or case it will trigger car mode.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iceshark:
Lame!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! You hit the nail on the head. My case has magnet (costco case) and when I pull phone out or touch near the mag pulling out it puts into car mode. Why the heck is this sensor there? Plus I do not see where I can turn this off.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Prod1702:
You can always just freeze car home in Titanium back up so it doesn't run.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
android thing

there were 2 magnets in the early android phones probably still there. 1 was so they put a magnet on 1 side of the car dock and when you put phone in it went to carmode. than they put a magnet on the other side for a desktop dock and when you put the phone in it would go to the dock program. there is a program called dock runner that will put the phone in the dock mode without activating by the magnet. there may be a way to deactivate these functions by modifying source but i have not ever seen anyone deactivate these. so this isnt a lg thing its an android(google) thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iceshark:
Great advice. Trying it now! Will report back:o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Not sure on the magnet thing. I have my phone sitting on a wooden table. I end the task.. set the phone down. I pick it up again, and it's running.

As a matter of fact, I had all tasks killed and shut down the screen. I turned on the phone, sent a txt msg and checked FB. I went to my running apps and just about every stinking app was running. AppPack, Car Home, Maps, Navigator, Gmail, and a cpl of others. I used the ATK app and shut them all down and set it down. As I was typing this, I picked it back up to take a look.. AppPack, Car Home, and Maps are all running.. GPS is off.

There are no magnets around. Just checked again.. Car Home and AppPack restarted.. stupid. Can't wait for my sd card to get in so I can backup the rom and start ripping it apart.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Mine was being enabled by my magnets in my holster. I can't see how the program is starting after being on a wooden table but it's a easy fix.

Just freeze the app. It's not that hard. You have 3 options:

1) Fallow directions and freeze the app

2) Don't do anything and just keep complaining

3) Take the phone back if you don't like it

Stop making things harder than they really are.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
I'm doing something about it.. don't worry dad. I'm pointing out that the magnet is not the only reason why it would come on.. and I released frustration too. I can do that too. That doesn't mean I'm just complaining and doing nothing about it. Don't read so much into it..

Btw, those are your only 3 options.. not to be placed in a box and cast out as the only options for the rest of the world...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
Actually the OP is talking about car mode being live on his screen, if I'm reading it correctly.

You have the same problem I do: Car Home is constantly running in the background.

I did a factory reset and battery life has gone up tenfold. 19 hours, down to 20%. Car home is still running, but it doesn't appear to have a negative impact on the bettery once you do reset

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cyberdan3:
Does freezing an app in Titanium backup remove it from the applications list or just stop it from starting. I have to send my phone back today and am trying to restore it but I had already deleted all the "stock" apps. This is making a hassle trying to do the clockwork recovery.

Also, can you only freeze the apps if you have Titanium backup pro?
