Can someone please give me some advice on getting my SD card to work? I did everything in this forum, then proceeded to do what is linked above. Everything looked to go through successfully. Any ideas are welcome...
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
FWIW: You can also run "fix permissions" from CWM, if you don't have/want ROM Manager or Spare Parts.

Thanks bigrushdog.

Saved my Xoom that was in boot loops after trying to flash the Desktop UA String. What a sigh of relief when I was finally able to get past the Honeycomb video looping.
[Xoom Android Development] terminal 7:
should i do it

anyone able to tell me if this works on the euro UK 3g Xoom ?

dont wanna flash my xoom into brick status!

anyone tried it and if so does the radio work ok afterwards ??
[Xoom Android Development] jcolt:
I rooted my 3G Xoom with the on click tool and I have SD card support. I know want to upgrade to 3.1 and keep root. Will the OP files and steos allow me to upgrade to 3.1 or since I rooted with one click will this process not work?
[Xoom Android Development] pat4714:
otg not working

anyone have this problem thumb drive and usb flash drive were working prior to 3.1 update maybe mass storage not available yet for 3.1 or is there a new process to get it working my external sd card is inserted in micro sd slot and works no problem

Hello all

Im after a little advice as I have messed up a little. I installed everything as per the instructions and all went brilliantly. But it has just dawned on me that I have a euro 3g xoom so now obviously I have no 3g connection, not even the option in settings to use mobile data.

I know before anyone says Im an idiot but whats done is done so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
Installing busybox 1.18.4 doesn't seem to be helping me with my problem of getting TB to work. Any suggestions? Greatly appreciated.
[Xoom Android Development] antiochasylum:
Being rooted with one click will not matter at all.

As long as you have clockwork recovery, If not go here to flash clockwork recovery.

then place all the files on your external card as stated in the OP, flash them in order, then clear data then reboot. You will then be on 3.1 and rooted.

Make sense? The OP writes it up super clear. Just follow those instructions and nothing will happen.
[Xoom Android Development] antiochasylum:
havr you clicked the Problems? inside titanium backup? Also once you download busybox, you must open the program to install busybox. Just downloading the program will do nothing. I would assume you knew this.
[Xoom Android Development] Marshall1975:
Hello

Does anyone have any words of wisdom my little problem stated above.

Many Many Thanks If you do
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
I fairly certain that the only solution is to flash back to stock euro 3g image which should get your 3G back. Perhaps someone more technical than me can advise if there are any specific files available to just restore 3G.
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
Thanks for the reply. In regards to clicking "problems" inside titanium, no I haven't, but that's because its my understanding that when you do that, you're setting the process of downloading busybox in motion. The developer of TB told me that the version of BB that TB d/L's and installs is NOT compatible with HC. You assumed correctly :-) , I installed the BB app, and chose the version 1184 and installed it and it won't function properly (titanium I mean). TB is telling me that there is a total of system + apps of a whopping 5 count :-) . Something wrong there. Any more suggestions are welcomed, thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] GulMiguel:
I ran these items using the new process which is posted for rooting a XOOM which has 3.1 HC stock on it. However, I did flash the 1.4.2 kernel after flashing the new boot image pack (3G_Light_ON_Speed_zip). However, once completed with the process, I was expecting that my external SDcard would be showing up now, and it didn't. Can someone please tell me if I need to go back and re-flash using the post for the kernel that BRD placed out there on Sunday, or is there something else that I have screwed up?

Thanks in advance from you biggest fan!!!

PS - Never mind....after a while, I was looking for a way to transfer some information and lo and behold, the /sdcard/external mount just appeared as if out of nowhere - perhaps it showed up after a reboot. Well I feel stupid enough for the day - sorry to have disturbed everyone with such a trivial issue.
[Xoom Android Development] antiochasylum:
Have you tried removing everything. Titanium, busybody and try to reinstall

A last resort would be to flash the 3.1 update again and get you a clean slate. Then clear user data and re install everything.

Not sure what else to tell you to try. Maybe even try the problems ? in titanium. If you have clockwork make a nandroid first then try.
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
Thanks for the suggestion. I decided to try it and did things a little differently this time, erased BB, TBPro Key, and TBP as well as the directory for Titanium Backup, then downloaded the busybox installer and made sure the compatible version of BB was installed first, then installed TB, and it worked. Thanks for the reply.

[Xoom Android Development] shmigao:
cannot work on Euro 3G Xooms; the US-version is VERIZON 3G. Verizon has a CDMA network, which is not compatible with the European GSM/UMTS/HDSPA/WDCMA standards.

you won't brick your device by flashing this, but you will lose 3G

we Europeans are all waiting for a Euro 3G HC3.1 update...
[Xoom Android Development] antiochasylum:
Have you tried to right click and Save As? If that doesnt work here is the file, i've uploaded it to my drop box.
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
Yes, I'm that way to a tee. I had gone through the exact same thing the first time I flashed on the Xoom a while back and I happen to contact the develeper about it, and I got the info from him about the version of BB not being compatible, he fixed me right up by telling me what to do. So I know it worked, and I was doing it exactly as before, but it wanted to be stuborn about it. All is well now. :-)
[Xoom Android Development] GulMiguel:
Major Thanks to BRD!!

Yesterday, I was a raving loon on several threads trying to search for an answer to resolve something I totally screwed up. After wonderfully receiving a working SDcard slot, root and other goodies, I got greedy and tried to have SMS also (via a different thread). Instead of using adb to push the modified framework-res.apk file, I simply tried to replace it in the /system/framework folder. The results were disastrous. I ended up with what I call the endless loop of honeycombs. The flashing honeycombs just before it normally takes you to lock screen kept repeating over and over again. Worse, since I figured that I had hosed it, I tried to SBF my way back - only to discover that SBF wouldn't work...for some reason the file no longer runs with RSDLite 4.9 (I would request an investigation into why - but that's for another thread). As it turned out, I recognized that I could still get to CWR via a method that I recently learned in a VZW store. I rebooted by holding the "up" volume button and the power button until I saw the familiar red "M". Then after a two-second wait, I pushed the 'bottom' volume button and the first option that comes up is Android recovery. I pushed the 'top' volume button to accept and I got into CWR.

Now is the fun part. Several days previously, I had placed the 4 downloaded files from the OP on this thread which would normally give anyone else 3.1. I had tried everything else and so I figured why not. I ran this process just as BRD delineates to do (with the exception of step 1 because I already had CWR). As I went through the process (while constantly praying), I also noticed in step 3 that the system files get removed and replaced. It was hear that I saw the light of hope because I knew that was where I had mistakenly hosed that file in framework. As the process completed and I did my final reboot, I watched and waited through the honeycombs. Shortly afterwards (though at the time it seemed like forever), I received the awesome start screen!! SUCCESS!!!

BRD, I owe you major big props for this one dude. As soon as I'm not broke again, the next 12-pack is on me. I'm a noob - yes, I'll cop to it - when it comes to this hacking stuff. However, it's been my experience so far that the benefits outweigh the risks. When I saw how things began to work, it increased my understanding exponentially (even if it did have to add a few new grey hairs). All I can say is thank God for you!! You saved me from having to through in the towel and have to go to Motorizon with my tail between my legs.

Lessons learned:

a) when you get what you want - don't get greedy

b) use adb to push things - not blindly copy and paste like you are in Windows or something

c) RSD/SBF is no longer working now that we have the HJM37 build. I don't know why - hopefully others who are more learned can decipher that one.

d) keep files like the four at the beginning of this thread on your external SD card - IT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!!!

Enough rambling from the new guy - Maraming salamat (many thanks)!!!

Bricked my Wifi-only xoom (help)

Hi guys,

I completely bricked my Wifi Xoom using this method... as soon as I flashed the recovery and rebooted I kept getting a "starting RSD mode 3" message. Have tried EVERYTHING on the forums to get out of this mode but no success.. At this point, 2 days later, I am clueless... sigh!!!

Also no SBF file for Wifi Xoom out... and can't even see my xoom listed under the RSD Lite app.... and yes have the moto drivers installed.... :( :( :( :( :(

Any ideas guys?????????

Thanks!

[Xoom Android Development] rgribeiro:

Thank you
[Xoom Android Development] shmigao:
The German model is MZ601, and flashing anything here that is branded "Euro" works.

I'd suggest you check the motorola website for the different models (i think there are 4-5), and check the specifications.

specifically you could check the MZ605 specs against the MZ601 and see where the differences are, in particular the 3G bands
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
Any chance of 4G

Just wondering if sometime soon you'll be including 4G into this package? Or is it already there and I'm just missing it? :o

Or maybe I have to download something else and install it? Please advise if that's the case. I believe I'm already running the current radio package.

EDIT: Wow, I must have been real tired when I posted this. :)

I meant to post this on the HTC EVO 4G site.

Hey guys, just got the wifi xoom yesterday and planning on rooting but I want to make sure I understand what I need to do correctly. So I need to begin by unlocking the bootloader with fastboot and then I can flash cwm with the stock recovery? Then from there I just flash 3.1 and the bootloader patch with cwm? That's my understanding, please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Xoom Android Development] masterslacker:
You can't flash CWM with stock recovery since it is not a signed file. You have to use the fastboot method listed on their instruction page.

Thanks for this BRD.

Worked like a charm on my Xoom Wifi FR (MZ604) :)

I was on 3.0.1 stock FR (build H.6.2-24). I just unlock my Xoom before, and flash CWM Recovery

What exactly does the bootloader patch ? I apply it as mentionned in 1st post, but I want to know what this patch did to my Xoom ?

Before flashing HC3.1 and the bootloader patch, I made a Nandroid Backup of my 3.0.1 stock FR system. So if I need, can I restore my 3.0.1 Nandroid backup ?

It will boot or not due to the bootloader patch ?

Thanks guys ;)

My Xoom rocks, with root and µSD support :D but no more notification LED :confused: worked perfectly before. Don't know why it's not working anymore...

BRD - Kernel?

BRD- Is your initial impression that this update will be fairly simple to port your tiamat kernel to? Debating whether or not I want to go 3.1 just to go 3.1 and loose your wonderful kernel for a time...
[Xoom Android Development] 87racer:
for your second question: CWM sees your external sd card as /sdcard (same as on a phone). If I am correct the /sdcard you see when booted would actually be data.img in CWM. So if you wipe your data partition while in CWM your /sdcard while booted into HC would be empty while your external sd card would be untouched.
[Xoom Android Development] stigmax:
works like a charm!!
[Xoom Android Development] djsaad1:

[Xoom Android Development] Dubar:

Hi,

Good question for the bootloader.

I have installed the 3.1 version but no french language ???

Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] Almighty1:
The bootloader patch basically adds Android Recovery from the default nvFlash when you power on, wait 3 seconds after the Motorola Dual Core screen and hit the vol - key.
[Xoom Android Development] Almighty1:
To those with US WiFi Xoom's who has their Xoom's show up as Verizon Wireless Xoom's, I believe this can be easily fixed in the /system/build.prop file. All you have to do is edit the file and make the changes as follows:

by changing:

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/trygon/stingray:3.1/HMJ37/124251:user/release-keys

to:

#ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/trygon/stingray:3.1/HMJ37/124251:user/release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=motorola/tervigon/wingray:3.1/HMJ37/124251:user/release-keys

The build fingerprint seems to be how people did the market fixes in the past for devices to show certain apps and it's probably the same here. Make sure you reboot after the fix to see if it works. If it doesn't work, just put the # on the second line and remove the # on the first line to reverse the fix.
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
Tried this on my US Wifi only Xoom, running Tiamat ROM 1.0. Rebooted after the change. Downloaded an app from the Market. Still shows up in the market as a Verizon Xoom. But no harm done, either. I see no need to change it back?
[Xoom Android Development] marky9074:
No you don't... you can unlock and flash CWM, then flash an update to 3.1 without root

[Xoom Android Development] Almighty1:
Hmmm, so when you view devices, it still shows the same Verizon Xoom and not another new device since it seems you can only hide but not delete devices? I think the thing is that sooner or later, the market will have blocking on certain things that Verizon might not want going to the Verizon Xoom. You might have to clear the market cache as well according to this:

http://nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
Screen shot of my Market attached. I cleared Market cache as well. What's even more curious is this: May 12th is the date that I flashed the first Tiamat 3.1 kernel, and it shows (correctly) as the last date that I used my wifi only Xoom.

Note that for my "Verizon" version of the Xoom, it shows June 16th as the last used date. June 16th is, in fact, the date that I made the changes to the build.prop file. I have used the Market several times since, and it's not showing up as either device? But the new apps that I've downloaded are definitely showing up on my app list. Curiouser and curioser....

Be nice if that was mentioned in the first post, I was about to flash this to my Xoom...:mad:
[Xoom Android Development] Almighty1:
I'm sure one of these days, someone will figure it out. Probably has to do with the framework or whatever it's called.
[Xoom Android Development] Almighty1:
I believe the answer is a no on that one since images are only the OS itself which is the boot and the system, it has nothing to do with the bootloader. The bootloader is something before the OS loads.
