[Xoom Android Development] MrGinger:
This reminds me of that joke

"How do you keep an idiot in suspense...?

I'll tell you later!"

Instead this time its

"How do you keep a xoomer in suspense?

Just uploading the zips now!"

just mount the xoom to ur pc open the xoom threw My computer/xoom/devicestorage/sdcard2 drag an drop the zips to the sdcard folder
[Xoom Android Development] xguntherc:
uhhh. I'm on tiamat 1.16 so it sounds like I need to update that before I do this.

lol
[Xoom Android Development] slack04:
Just read all 4 pages of this thread. Maybe you'll update the OP to say, but does this require a rooted xoom? Please no flamers, I was planning to wait for the stock rom, but if all I need is an SD card I'm all over this.
[Xoom Android Development] Cjizzy:
UUmmmmmm.....

:confused:Dont want to be a douche bag:o, but i was just wondering any exact eta???:confused:
[Xoom Android Development] 87racer:
It says CWM is required so I would assume that you must be rooted. Can you install CWM without root?
[Xoom Android Development] Dubar:
I'm on 3.1 now and I finally went and got an sdcard so that I could get the update working. Boy is this SDcard stuff confusing. Its bad enough that Moto had to ship this thing out with no sd support, but then they had to go and make a folder called /sdcard/ which is actually internal storage and just makes everything confusing!

I did all of this earlier today, with the update.zip from stachre's thread. Now, I never actually got the sdcard to work. CWM for some reason sees my sdcard as /sdcard/ and not my actual /sdcard/ folder. First I tried to "trick" CWM, and put update.zip into /sdcard/ (with no actual sdcard in the device) and flash from there, but it failed immediately when it couldnt mount.

So I got an sdcard, put it in, booted to recovery. Just for fun I tried to do the same thing and I got an "file not found" error. CWM was no longer seeing /sdcard/ and was reading my actual sd card. So I adb pushed the update.zip, flashed, and voila! 3.1

Anyways don't know if thats normal (seeing as how I accessed the sdcard on stock images) or if anyone finds this interesting. I guess my question is in two parts: (1) Can I just flash this (when its up) over what I currently have, and get all the extra stuff from the kernel? and (2) Is CWM going to continue to work that way, with my card being mounted at /sdcard/ when I'm in recovery, i.e. when I tell it to install /sdcard/update.zip it is actually installing what was /sdcard/external/update.zip? Its not a problem, its just.. well.. confusing.
[Xoom Android Development] mjforte:
I updated my Xoom to 3.1 using P3Droid's method before this flashable method was available. Is there a way for me flash something to get SD card access? I currently have root but would also like to be able to use my SD Card too.
[Xoom Android Development] Psychokitty:
andr0id23 is so right. What a slap in the face it is to blame a developer, especially one who's under so much pressure to produce, for something so absolutely basic and downright stupid as not having backed your own **** up!

-And what a complete MESS this thread's become, littered with questions that, although initially intelligent, get relegated to plain stupidity simply due to laziness.

If you're going to screw around with the inner workings of your $600 device, the workings of which you don't fully understand, at least be smart enough to READ THE WHOLE THREAD FIRST!

I'm beginning to understand how those "in the know" can sometimes develop what amounts to almost disdain for us less knowledgeable folk.
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
Wow ! ,Flawless !, this is the best and easiest update i've ever done , was worried about SDCard recognition because i had a stock Kernel ,no problem everything went fine . OP i've given donations to many developers and i think you are one of the most deserving . I have to add that my SDCard is working better than it ever did .
[Xoom Android Development] dscribe:
Someone else may be able to give you better, more explicit directions but I had gotten the update via another method and I still went through this method just like I had not, and it worked great for me. As always ymmv.
[Xoom Android Development] kevdog:
I'm not one to *****, however can you post md5 of sha1 file hashes for the provided files? I'd like to verify I actually have file integrity before flashing. Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] TheBurgh:
+1 on this. OP was right on. Everything is perfect
[Xoom Android Development] Rules.r:
Where are we on the SetCPU overclock for this new kernel?

My (new install since update) SetCPU says 1GHz max right now...
[Xoom Android Development] mjforte:
So even though there's currently no SD support if I put the files on the root of the SD card, CWM recovery will still be able to flash them?
[Xoom Android Development] pat4714:
just wonderfull

thanks brd glad i waited installed without a hitch you rock my xoom world hey any one looking to get extra storage look no further get a buffallo cloudstor put all mp3s and videos on your own cloud server compatible to every device made check out link i got one rocks for real on sale at newegg heres link http://www.buffalotech.com/ takes ten minutes to set up stream music pics movies to any device comes with 1 or 2tb hard drive but has another bay for more storage i stream my hole library to my xoom and evo at work send invites to friends to acsess filesgot mine for $139 comes with 1 tb hard drive but there are other optional devices http://buffalocloudstor.com/ here is demo no fees either
[Xoom Android Development] cur8or:
There is SD support in CWM that's independent of your normally booted Xoom image.

For the record, I updated using this method and SD card works fine for me after moving to 3.1, it auto-mounted under /sdcard/external. Tablet re-rooted easily (re-install Busybox), then I restored the apps using Titanium. The only thing I had to do manually was re-do my launcher widgets (and only native ones seems to be re-sizable, I'm sure devs need to make modification to their widgets for 3.1).

USB host mode works fine too, I tested it with 4Gb USB stick, no issues. The only thing about that is I'm not sure which gui tool to use to unmount it so I ran umount command from Better Terminal Emulator app.

Also, USB mouse is working fine. I used same OTG cable for that and USB stick. Haven't tested BT mouse yet as I don't have one, but looks great with everything else.

The only issue is market movie rentals don't work with rooted Xoom, there is another thread on this.

So great job devs, kudos for making this work fairly painlessly and very quickly :)
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
I would like to thank everybody for the kind words and your most generous donations. It truly means alot to me. Also I would like to thank all the testers on the #xoom chan. You guys are braver than you realize! I'm just glad the update was a success. So what's next? Top of the list is to get us an overclock kernel. Also, I plan on writing a good updater script so we can flash some roms. Looks likely solarnz will take lead on recovery development. He is very talented and you can put faith in his work. Anyway, I'll be on #xoom and #tiamat. Thanks again.

brd
[Xoom Android Development] tribalb:
Wow...sux. iono what to tell you. Start from scratch. Find the original stock img and flash and start all over I guess
[Xoom Android Development] jlaw904:
Please make it cifs compatible! I need my network storage video streaming back! Thanks for everything.
[Xoom Android Development] zonk7ate9:
The ability to recognize the SD card is also built in CWM by itself. You don't need tiamat or another kernel that recognizes SD card installed. CWM is the only prerequiste to installing this update.
[Xoom Android Development] swcowger:
You are the man. I can't believe you guys come up with this stuff so fast.
[Xoom Android Development] flombs:
I think everything went well. My kernel version has changed though to 2.6.36.3-gc2bee64android-build@apa28 #1 is this correct?

I've still got superuser intact, and I did a full backup of my apps+data with Titanium, but Titanium is gone. Is it just a matter of redownloading it from the store, and applying a restore, that will set my Xoom the way it was pre update?

Thanks, and have donated BRD. LEGEND!

Note: I see that it does remove your ad-hoc mods. But that can be redone.
[Xoom Android Development] Brolloks:
Fantastic work BRD, makes my Xoom whip some i-ass

can't wait for the OC kernel
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
Well done OP you are the man keep up the good work .
[Xoom Android Development] jparker36:
Yes please add a cifs module :-) of would be nice too
[Xoom Android Development] flombs:
How would you pull something with adb, for example I want to pull my 'wpa_supplicant' from Xoom 'system/bin/', save it to desktop as backup, and then push the modified 'wpa_supplicant' to Xoom 'system/bin/' to achieve adhoc wifi?

All help appreciated! :)

[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
This is what i did after i downloaded the files with my PC :-

1. reboot into recovery with ADB - adb reboot recovery

2. Go into mounts and Storage on Xoom

3. Select Mounts and Storage

4. Click on My Computer on PC where you should see your SDCard

5. Click on your SD card to open then copy the file to the SDCard area seems to be SDCard2 .

I flashed the recovery file first then reboot , when the Xoom starts up i then reboot into recovery again and install the other 3 files one after the other in the order given in the OP then did the wipe data/factory reset and it was perfect .

I'm hoping that there will be a compatible overclocked kernel to follow through with this 3.1 update. I'd like to get the edge back now....

First thing that I did oops!...was flash the Tiamat 1.4.1 and had to rebuild it all over....it locked right up.
[Xoom Android Development] BUMP THAT:
Im sorry but i cant find the answer in the thread... What do I have to do to get external SDcard support? I installed the update all fine from the CWM recovery mode but i dont see sdcard2 or sdcard/external for my microsdcard. Do i have to do something to mount the card?
[Xoom Android Development] flombs:
How do I get Titanium backup back, so I can restore my apps+data from my xooms sdcard directory?

Is there anything special that needs to be done, or, is it a matter of redownloading it from the market? Do I also need to reinstall busybox, even though that's backed up?

Please help.

Edit: figured it out.
[Xoom Android Development] Shadomastr:
Got a huge problem here and any help would be much appreciated. I had everything working fine until the flash bootloader patch.zip. Apparently in my excitement to update I somehow did not manage to copy the bootloader patch onto my sdcard. I believe I put it somewhere in internal storage which is useless. I rebooted (still don't know why) and now and I'm stuck at the honeycomb launch boot animation. I can make it into fastboot but cannot get into clockworkmod. How exactly can I do this? Fastboot reboot recovery does not seem to be working to get me into recovery. I can get into fastboot by pressing volume up and power though.

Any help would be much apreciated,

Thanks.

Edit: typing fastboot oem unlock gives me <waiting for device> and stays there. I am unable to reinstall clockwrkmod as was suggested earlier. No clockworkmod=no flashing bootloader
[Xoom Android Development] jconner05:
Forgot to reboot after flashing new recovery.. Lost everything.. *facepalm*

Oh, well. Everything else works. For those that followed the instructions and are still not getting SD card access, I had to restart my Xoom again after everything was finished. Hope that helps.

DID anybody succeed?

why those download links are broken?

flash those files by cwr or by adb tools?

thanks any way,we rooted users finally found the way.
[Xoom Android Development] flombs:
Yeah, flash the three zips through car, its the way I did it.

Follow the steps to the letter, and ***make sure*** you do a back up with titanium, apps+user data, to make your life easier after you update.

Good luck.
[Xoom Android Development] hoola20055:
I updated and rooted before this method was released. I am on 3G*** version xoom. All I had to do was step 4 through clockwork. I did NOT wipe or reset and have sdcard/external and otg access. Great work! Remember I was ALREADY updated and rooted. *just step 4 and reboot. Love it!

Help....

I haven't been able to figure this out, and if this has been addressed previously I apologize, but I think my eyes are bleeding from doing searches for the last 3 hours.

I upgraded per directions from OP, all went well and the new 3.1 platform rocks, however I was dinking around trying to get my SSL VPN working again and fubar'd something causing my wifi/3g networking to fail. This wasn’t a big problem (I thought), just SBF back to stock and go forward. I've done this a thousand times in the past, but now RSDLite 4.9 is squawking about the INI file, and barfs if I try to flash the VZW_MZ600_Signed_HRI39_Signed_MDM600BP_C_02.0F.00R_SW.combo SBF .

::Update::

I was able to fastboot flash the original stock .img’s back to my device & got the thing functioning again, however as a test I rebooted into RSD mode to try the SBF flash again and get the same results. Was there a change to the bootloader that cannot be reverted?

::Update 2::

OK I'm able to fastboot erase/flash the stock .img's and even my CWM backup img's, however replacing the boot.img didn't solve the RSD not working after the upgrade.

Two observations:

1: now when I fastboot the display on the Xoom remains blank. e.g.:

if I run a:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

The device reboots and stays at the "M" logo (I receive a audio notification

& balloon popup on my workstation indicating I’m attached to the device via USB),

but nothing appears on the devices screen. fortunately I wrote a .bat file to run the fastboot commands and put a pause command in to figure out what stage of the process I’m at.

2: Since it appears that RSD can’t figure out the information from the device, does this mean that key information at the base level of the bootloader & NVRAM has changed and is now not at an "OEM" configuration & will this affect future updates from Moto?

Cheers

&

Thanks,

Help Please

[Xoom Android Development] Schprlock:
I don't really know why, but it happens to a few of us. My home button wasn't working, and neither was the pattern lock. I googled and I eventually found someone with the same problem who had to factory reset to get the functionalities back.

I did a factory reset and restored apps only, no data. It's working fine now. It's a pain but it's worth it.

Just tested OTG with a 16 mem stick and ntfs mount on a 1TB WD. It works fine guys. Regrettably, I have been forced to disable Private Messages at this time. I just can't keep up with it. I appreciate all the private "Thank You" messages. At the same time, Private Message is not for support. This forum is the place to get advice. Also, Twitter is not really the place to ask for support either. However, I am almost always willing to help. I usually stop by here a few times a day and answer a question or two. But, if you want help, you need to get a good IRC client. All the real smart xoom dev guys are on the Freenode server on the #xoom channel. I noticed alot of you already found my hiding spot. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: But that's a good thing. The more active participants, the better. Also, I need as many testers as possible. If you wish to volunteer to test, PLEASE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Anyways, thanks.

Oh, I'm still working on the new kernel. And, YES, IT WILL HAVE CIFS! lol And a bunch of other goodies too. And you will have the option to turn that charge light back on. However, I'm not sure if the first 3.1 Tiamat 1.4.2 kernel will have Overclock. We'll see how it goes. Peace.

could you package up the wifi only for us wifi users brd so we don't have to use fastboot? Seems there is more going on then just an extra menu option: there is mobile data running an SMS/mm processes that can't be terminated or uninstalled without screwing everything up. There are more things going on just can't t remember at this time.

3.1 OTA prompt

just got home and it's nagging me to install the OTA updatefor wifi version. I'm trying to read through all of these threads to see if anyone has attempted that but i'm guessing it would just crap out if i did or just give me an unrooted version of the 3.1. anyone else being prompted?

BTW I'm backing up all my stuff using mybackup pro v2.7.2 which supports honeycomb ;) hopefully it will work on 3.1 when i attempt to do the restore lol

Tried it and got a never ending force close on the system. Had to re-flash the OTA over it to fix. This OTA update is the actual verizon 3G update and not the WIFI only. Would use publicanimal's method but fastboot is not working on my computer for some reason. For that matter I am unable to update the android SDK at all to the newest API's which is why I am asking BRD to make a wifi only OTA flashable.

Battery life

Has anyone else experienced a noticeable drop in battery life since updating to 3.1? On 3.0 with all the same Apps installed my Xoom would use about 25% between standby and lunch hour use. Now, it's using over 50% with the same usage the last 2 days. It also feels warm all the time like it's constantly doing something. Watchdog hasn't alerted me to anything yet, do you think this is something reflashing could solve? Otherwise I'm going to drop back to 3.0 with Tiamat 1.4.1. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Xoom Android Development] tonyb15re:
Is there any way of extracting English British language and keyboard from another build and using it with this? Does anyone know where the relevant files are located and what they are? Would 3.01 version just be a straight swap out? Are there dependencies?

I have also noticed the battery charging light isn't working??
