Finally the screen can be upside down again, the cyber kernal broke that.
[Xoom Android Development] ankorez:
excellent work!

thanks!

it work on my xoom wifi french :)

but i don't have acces at my sdcard in tablet or my pc
[Xoom Android Development] kevdog:
Couple of comments

Excellent guide -- worked as advertised.

I'd like to add however that after booting into recovery in Step #2, all the instructions could be simplified for pushing the MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip file to this:

adb push MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip /sdcard/MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip

Then flash the update as usual.

Second:

I do have the ability to boot into recovery holding the down button (sound button on the side). That's a really nice feature. Thanks to whom ever enabled this.
[Xoom Android Development] ankorez:
did you acess to sdcard?

in MZ604\Device Storage\external cannot create folder..
[Xoom Android Development] ankorez:
msg error:

cannot create a new folder in path specify

thks for your help

and sorry for flood this post but problems can help others
[Xoom Android Development] kevdog:
Ok, let me clarify

Boot into recovery.

While in recovery the path to the external sdcard is /sdcard and not /sdcard/external as it is after the system boots.

Push the MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip file to the external sdcard using adb (not windows explorer) doing:

adb push MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip /sdcard/MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip

That places it in the root of the external sdcard.

Then just apply this as usual. That's it. No windows explorer involved at all.
[Xoom Android Development] ankorez:
it's not that my problem

HC 3.1 feature sdcard activate? no?

i want exploit my sdcard..
[Xoom Android Development] kelvie:
This method fails to patch against the stock Canadian system.img. I've tried flashing the US images, but it appears I can't do that and also keep my userdata (it goes into a boot loop -- the boot process raises a NullPointerException and starts over and over again).

I think I may have to adapt the new Canadian image whenever it comes out.
[Xoom Android Development] ankorez:
i have a same problem with my xoom's french

you must upgrade userdata.img too now if you want unbrick your xoom..

it wipe your datas but it work...

or wait canadian upload system.img..
[Xoom Android Development] neaux:
it worked, I had some problem with the recovery, but now I have the 3.1 with the external storage sdcard

thank you for all the work :D

Thanks, 3.1 with SD-Card

Thanks,

I updated before using stachre's:D instructions.

I performed the last step with MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip and WHOOT, the sd-card works like a charm.
[Xoom Android Development] ankorez:
don't understand...

when you say "the sd-card works like a charm."

you can access to sdcard in Android or only in recovery mod?

you can copy anything in folder external ?
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
I wanted to try publicanimal's 3.1 wifi. Coming from BRDs 3.1.

After I flashed the system.img and boot.img and rebooted (following the OP) my Xoom went into a boot animation loop.

I had to do a nandroid restore.

Any suggestions on how I can flash this wifi only version of 3.1? I am still running BRDs 3.1, which has some 3g artifacts.

Thanks, in advance.
[Xoom Android Development] ruvort:
Are you sure it was the kernel? I know the User Agent hack was breaking being able to be upside down as well as lagging things up a bit.

sd-card support

I mean in android. This procedure gives you sdcard support.:):)

as the author writes: "Flashable, No Wipe Necessary, External Storage Enabled"
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
Yes access in Android. Make sure you are 'copying' the files, I don't think 'moving' works when it comes to /external
[Xoom Android Development] jland22:
Followed this procedure per OP and am stuck in a bootloop after applying the update.zip and attempting to reboot. I was coming from Bigrushdogs update on a wifi only xoom and wanted the true wifi only package.

Any advice on what to do? I can always restore back to my nandroid copy of 3.1brd version but Id rather fix this

EDIT: forget it, i just ended up doing a factory reset and now have wifi only 3.1 which may have been what brd was talking about when he said "seems to be a neccesary evil" bottom line is its easy to get back everything when your rooted.

Thanks for the work put it public animal but I think for the people coming from BRD's update, they will have to wipe after updating based on similar responses from people coming from our starting point. May want to update

yes
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
1.4.3 works with 3.1 no matter how you upgrade.
[Xoom Android Development] marky9074:
This guide went fine for me going from stock UK 3.0.1 to US 3.1

The only difference was that I was using the latest clockworkmod and copied the update directly to the SD card via my PC (rather than pushing or mounting the SD card in recovery).
[Xoom Android Development] Genious:
Newb question, i have read all through the thread but something in the OP confuses me

PROCEDURE

Flash stock system.img & boot.img

Prior to performing the actual update, the update script checks a number of files (including bcm4329.ko, which is usually built with the kernel) in /system. If any file doesn't match what's expected, the update halts. Flashing the stock system.img ensures a smooth update.

The pre-update checks also include the boot partition. The actual update flashes this partition with a new kernel that implements the new 3.1 features.

If you are unlocked and running unrooted stock Android 3.0.1, you can skip step 1. If you are already on 3.1 and just need root and/or external SD card storage, see this thread

the see this thread portion, I just took my xoom out the box, turned it on and updated to HC3.1 will this method work or should i use the method from the link in see this thread, and if so do i need to come back to this thread and flash this over it
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] lolToasty:
Unlike most threads I found, I'm not having a paste failure or anything. I'm trying to copy a boot animation to /system/media but no luck. It will say the paste completed or the rename of the old boot animation will complete but if I back out and go back in, the name will revert while the file I'm trying to paste won't even appear. What am I doing wrong?

Yes, I have it set to r/w.

Do you need your phone set to S-OFF to properly write in system?

Thank you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] kitila:
First u must have root,then u MUST have s-off and esayest way to get soff is to make it to a cd then boot from that disk...
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] lolToasty:
So you must have s-off... :(

There is no absolute way of loading a boot animation without having s-off?

Thank you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] sbofen:
I thought s-off was needed for the boot splash screen, you also need it for the animation?
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] SefEXE:
I do not have S-Off and I can say that I've changed my boot animation.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euroman28:
I have heard it has a lot processing power, even better than the LG 2x.

But how is build quality compared to the 2x??

What about the NFC chip which is currently installed in the Nexus S?

I have heard that UK version of the Galaxy S2 doesn't have an NFC?

But what about the continental version of S2? I mean the phone released in Germany, France, Spain, Denmark etc? Does that version have an NFC chip??

Finally I have been considering the HTC Sensation.

I know that the S2 has more internal memory etc. But daily usage which of those phones would give biggest bang for the buck??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazrazr:
there will be with NFC version but it will cost you extra money (really really extra) as the phone is already quite expensive...but in my opinion the galaxy s2 is the best phone right now in the market.......consider the LG 2X and upcoming HTC Sensation(With new Sense) which both are dual core but i still believe galaxy s2 is the best........but if we considering back about FW update by Samsung....it will be the only pain in ass for Galaxy S2...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davith:
As far as I know, no NFC in Europe for the SGS2.

Though it's still plastic, build quality looks a little better than the original Galaxy S. I especially like the carbon backplate.

Overall, I think the SGS2 is probably the best new phone out there. The hardware is amazing and it looks as if Samsung has really optimized the software. The fact they swapped RFS for EXT4 will spare us the need of using lagfixes (even if they weren't really needed in the latest GB firmwares for our own SGS).

I wouldn't write the Sensation off either, but the locked bootloader is a huge down for me. I do like Sense though.

That said, I'm not gonna make the jump as I don't have the luxury to change phone every year. I'll probably go for the Galaxy S 3 or something. :p

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmestriner:
Hi all,

maybe a very simple question here, but when I move files to SD (using Elelinux/Cyanogen, android 2.3.4), in which folder do they end up, with which file extension? When I had to flash a new ROM, sometimes I had to do a full wipe including factory reset, so all apps vanished from the phone, but did they still persist on SD? and if yes, in which folder, and do I need to delete these files?

I've searched my SD-card, found different folders with app-like names and different extensions, but I don't know which is the correct one.

(example: moved Facebook app to SD to save internal memory space, flashed new ROM -> factory reset, installed FB app again, it says I can copy it to SD again, but is there still a piece of the previous FB app on the SD?)

thanks for your help!

EDIT: did some searching and some say it might me the ".android_secure" folder. Is it safe to just delete everything in this folder? because it's taking up some space...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plysch:
That's correct, the applications end up in .android_secure. If you do a full wipe (factory reset) it is safe to remove it, since those apps needs to be restored before they can be used anyway.

[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
Haven't seen anything like this mentioned yet, so sorry in advance if this has been brought up.

Because of the recent update, I decided to start with a fresh sbf and went through the process of completing both updates, acquiring root and then loaded greyblur on the phone. I completed that process a couple days ago and then noticed a little triangle icon with an exclamation point in the notification bar. I check to see what it is and it tells me it's waiting to connect to wifi to download an update.

My first response was to check here to find out what the new update was for. After taking a look, it was clear there was not a new update. I checked my system information and my phone was back to being 1.5.7. Has anyone encountered something like this? What could have caused that? As far as I know, greyblur should not have caused anything like that, but maybe I'm wrong. I just did a restore to a backup I made just before flashing greyblur and the phone was definitely 1.8.3, at least before flashing greyblur. About to reflash greyblur and see how things turn out, but still curious as to why this might have happened.

Any insight is appreciated!
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
GreyBlur I believe could be the issue, as it was for 4.1.26/4.1.57, and not for 4.1.83.

GingerBlur was updated for 4.1.83 and there are no issues with that.
[Atrix 4G General] ZombieChris:
If I installed GreyBlur and didn't make a backup prior. How should I go about uninstalling it and installing Gingerblur instead?

Is it safe to install GingerBlur over GreyBlur in system recovery?
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
Figured out that was the problem. The install page for both makes it sound as if they both had the appropriate changes made to accommodate 1.83 but that was apparently not the case for GreyBlur.

I was actually wondering the same thing. I had GingerBlur before 1.83 was released and hadn't made a backup prior to flashing GingerBlur. When I decided to update to 1.83, as mentioned above, I decided to start with a fresh sbf and updated to 1.83 and I took that chance to create a backup. I thought about trying to just flash GingerBlur over GreyBlur to save time/effort but decided to not take chances and just restored to my pre-GingerBlur backup and flashed GingerBlur over that.

As far as I know, there shouldn't be issues with flashing GingerBlur over GreyBlur, though I'm not sure if that will fix the issue with it showing as 1.57.

[Android Apps and Games] AMarsden:
Hey I was just curious as to why you would recommend this over the stock browser (cm7 nightly 75). I used dolphin back when I think it was in version 3 and although impressive I didn't really see the value in it. Just wondering if anyone can provide some user experiences. Thank you so much!
[Android Apps and Games] D3XX:
Ummmm, yeeeeeah I would recommend it without a doubt. It's has the speed of a 4g stock browser i would say even on 3g and it loads pages very quickly.
[Android Apps and Games] Frans Parnel:
I'm not impressed. It is definitely better than the stock browser which is horrid - lack of features and loads extremely slow. However when compared to my daily browser, Opera, it feels gauky.

Compared to opera it loads just as fast, displays flash just as well, webpages look just as good. But the app itself just doesn't look good.

Dolphin has the tab bar on top, which makes it easier to access, but it isn't done well. I would rather have them remove that and use the tab page they have that is similar to sense previews. It takes up too much space and is IMO ugly.

The guesture menus are a great idea. And they are easy to bring up. Again, however, I don't like how they look. Either they should take up the whole screen rather than just part. Or have a transparent background so that they are "overlaying" the webpages.

Also, I had it FC on me a couple times while loading pages and changing settings. Not an issue for me as its beta.

The one thing I really like about it over any other browser I've used it that you can change the user agent in settings easily! Opera you can, but you have to edit the opera:config and its a pain.
[Android Apps and Games] sacredsoul:
Remember, its the first beta. It'll get stable over time. :)

I know, that's why I said the FC's weren't an issue...
