I have a XOOM WIFI i bought in Hong Kong 2 weeks ago. Is there any way to get the official Android 3.1 update ?

I have done the following:

1. Downloaded e379f0b9bcd0.signed-tervigon-HMJ37-from-HWI69.e379f0b9.zip

2. Copied to USB thumb drive

3. Attached USB thumb drive to USB host OTG cable

4. adb reboot recovery and then attach USB host OTG cable

5. I see the green android with the !

6. I get Android system recovery <3e>

7. Go to "apply update from USB drive"

8 select "e379f0b9bcd0.signed-tervigon-HMJ37-from-HWI69.e379f0b9.zip"

then I get the following error.

--Install from /sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-life signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Has anyone successfully updated the official 3.1 update on a NON-US XOOM WIFI ?

Do I need to unlock it or unroot it ?

Or should I just wait 'several weeks' for the update from Google ?

THANKS IN ADVANCE :)

I rooted a friends MT4G via gfree.

But before I rooted her phone she suddenly became unable to download anything from the market, kept saying "unable to download".

So I assumed that it was just a software problem and once I rooted her phone and installed Royal Ginger I was almost certain that problem would be gone. But nope, she has now had RoyalGinger for about 8 hours now and still can't download ANYTHING at all from the market. Gives her the same thing that it can't download. I'm pretty much dumbfounded.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've never came across this problem..

hi guys, can anyone one of you pls post a simple yet attractive theme which conserves the least amount of battery & looks pretty good ???

i desperately want it.

because, default theme with Touchwiz looks too bright & shiny... kind of glaring to my eyes. i think that can also consume lot of battery..

i prefer dark background with white letters & fonts would be best...

i hope someone here can help me.

i saw one user posting his desktop in post your desktop thread. but he has never told us the steps he used to get that theme.

i request him to pls share his settings her, as we know what kind of softwares he has used to get that effect....

Re:

Sorry didnt see that you have seen the post your desktop thread, but the answer to your questions are within that thread itself.

Most of the posters have mentioned the software they have used (Launchers, widgetlocker, icon packs, backgrounds) etc. I agree its a pain to navigate through the pages looking for this kind of info but hey its wortht the effort! I am a newbie to Android too and the post your desktop thread has taught me so much, most of the software listed there is free and on the Android market too.

Personally I am using Simi clock, battery and weather widgets along with the 'Beautiful widgets'. Try these for a start.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dysfunction:
I was hoping I could change a theme, ie the look of the icons, the fonts etc without having to flash a ROM....I have flashed ROM's before but I always found the phone to become a bit unstable afterwards. (This was on the SE X1 so perhaps it was the crappy phone rather than the ROM!!)

I can't see anywhere how to change the global icons or the global font's and things.

I was hoping you could just install/uninstall a theme...but it doesn't look like you can do such a thing.

I have Widget Locker and Launcher Pro but none of those seem to allow a total global theme...

Will Go Launcher EX enable me to do all that?

I've been looking at that thread but I can't seem to customise my phone like most people have done in that thread. There seems to be a lot of tweaking behind the scenes which is what I am looking to try but need some sort of tutorial...

[Nexus S General] nickespi:
THIS Forum has helped me tremendously, This Question has been asked by ME and some other people, and I would like to share how I accomplished this Task.. Thanks for all of the useful info in the Q&A section..With out it i would have never have figured it out!! Hope this helps some!

First Off Google Search and download QPST 2.7 build 323

Install QPST

On your phones dialer: *#*#8778#*#*

Once the menu pops up select "Modem" on the bottom "USB" section

If on windows 7, Navigate to: stat menu >Control Panel>Device manager> PORTS>Samsung Mobile Modem...GET THE "COM##"

"Example Mine is COM39."

Go Start -> (All) Programs -> QPST -> QPST Configuration. Go Start -> (All) Programs -> QPST -> QPST Configuration.

"Add Port" - and input your COM#

Select your Device and Select "OK"

Open QSPT > Service Programing, Select your device

Navigate to the ROAM Tab, In the preferred Roaming section You can now Browse and select the PRL of your Choice.

I use the hybrid PRLs in the HTC evo Threads.

Select "write to phone."

If you want to Revert back to Sprint PRLs Here is a Link for Current and older Sprint PRLs

http://cid-eabe29f3770d8d15.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/PRLs

Phone should reboot and you are ready to rock and roll. Look under the about phone section to confirm your PRL has indeed changed.

I would Like to say this is not anything I have made up. I browsed multiple forums and sections to figure this out. All i did was simply write what worked for me. I hope Some of you peps can find this helpful. Thanks to everyone who responded to my posts in the Q&A section!

As Always Practice with care!!
[Nexus S General] thepolishguy:
I find this very helpful! I started a thread asking about this just today! So -this is awesome! Would you mind linking to a prl you have had success with?

Good on ya bro.

####EDIT####

I wanted to come back and state what should be obvious - but was not to me. When you are doing working on your prl you need to go back into *#*#8778#*#* and set it to pda/pda

After I did the above I thought I really jacked something up bc I could no longer use adb. then remembered that I had switched to modem/modem. I wrongly assumed a reboot would just change that back. I almost completely wiped and re-installed everything.

Manually change your prl, you can force your phone to connect to verizon towers first if you're in a weak sprint zone

Sell your Mac and buy a windows PC :)

Can't you run a windows VM in Mac os and do all of this?
[Nexus S General] TheDub:
If you use Verizon's towers to much (aka roam) with this Hybrid PRL method Sprint WILL drop you.. it has happened to a few EVO owners.

Fair warning to all.
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
Can u provide more insight into this? How much is too much? When sprint drops u, do u mean they just drop ur phone from using their prl? My sprint signal near home is super weak and being able to jump on verizon would be stellar.
[Nexus S General] TheDub:
I mean they cancel your contract and say see ya! ;)
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
Guess its a good way to get out of your contract without the ETF. :D But after reading that hybrid prl's only increases your coverage and not your data speed, i'm not sure if i'll be using it. I get full bars where I live, just slow data speeds.
[Nexus S General] thepolishguy:
I tested my data before the prl hack and averaged 100kbs. I tested my data speeds after flashing the 00001 prl and averaged 800kbs.

so I did see an increase in data speeds.
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
Hmmm, interesting. Maybe I will take a look into it then.
[Nexus S General] TheDub:
The increase in data speeds is likely because you're pulling it off Verizon's 3G instead of Sprint's... What I said still applies, just a FYI.
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
So do ppl just leave it hanging while the hybrid prl is sucking in Verizon's 3g? Or do they turn it on and off to avoid sprint dropping them?
[Nexus S General] TheDub:
There is no easy off/on switch other then reflashing a non hybrid prl.
[Nexus S General] thepolishguy:
I just did it bc I am a nerd and I wanted to try it. I am to chicken to continue the use of the hack prl. I may flash it sometimes if I "desperately" need faster data for something -but I have already flashed back to the latest sprint prl 01115 i think it is.

once you have figured out how to do it -and done it a couple of times - it just takes 2 minutes. the hardest part (as always) is finding the stuff and installing it and then a little bit of figuring out. First attempt was scary. Next couple of times -not so scary. Now -just like flashing a rom.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Sprint can drop you for excessive roaming.
[Nexus S General] nickespi:
Simply said, Just use this hack if you absolutely need it. The ROAMING RULE IS, It takes away from your anytime minutes, and only 300mbs of roaming data a month. Hence Sprint can and may cancel your contract early.

FOR ME I HAVE RAN INTO NO PROBLEMS, so your outcome may be different so practice with care. I only use it because it is beneficial for me, and for many people as well, just check the EVO DEV Tread.

BUT SAME COULD BE SAID FOR TETHERING YOUR DEVICE, sprint also could reserve the right to cancel your contract...Have any of you heard of CIQ? Believe it or not sprint already knows your rooted and what firmware-ROM u are running exactly- In Fact i have first hand experience in actually knowing so. Long Story how but I do!

Rule of thumb practice with care you will be alright

SOME PEPS have more of a Inside connect so i personally don't worry as much as some peps :p
[Nexus S General] jbeez:
you guys might want to look into an airave for your house if you have a weak signal at home instead of doing this if you are concerned with sprint dropping you.
[Nexus S General] nickespi:
Yes correct most definitely. I would only use this hack if you live in a bad area and or if your data speeds s sux ass. And trust me they're quite a few of us. Every phone i've owned EVO/EPIC/Nexus data speeds has always been a issue. Honestly sprint is pretty bad but i am willing to deal with it because of the $$$ so if i can get better performance with out hitting my pocket..THEN SO BE IT.. but Be mindful when you use this enhancement...

If you don't see ports listed in device manager then you need to use the add legacy hardware wizard and add com ports.

Add new Port (hers where you put your port you checked using control panel)

It should now be visible when you run service programming.

Under Um, there is an optimized dormant Handoff ticked. I'm wondering what would happen if I untick it ?

I'm just clutching at straws...
[Nexus S General] TF1984:
FALSE, FALSE, FALSE... Everyone BETTER be careful, but your claim is a load of crap sir.

1. DATA has nothing to do with your minutes, roaming or not. However, in your contract there are "Soft" limitations on roaming usage. Let's be clear here, for every bit of data you pull from Verizon under Sprint's service sharing agreement, Sprint is paying. If you consistently cost more to maintain than the benefit of doing business, Sprint will kick you. It's not rocket science.

**They will give you a minimum of one warning, after that you better quit it.

More than 15 users have made documented cases of being terminated from their Sprint plans under this set up. (I just came from my 'ole Evo).

2. You have no idea what you're talking about with CIQ, also Sprint is not currently utilizing any software to verify/identify/isolate system specifics on their handheld devices.

Let's get things straight.
[Nexus S General] pierre1321:
I thought you needed to know your port # before you went into QPST. Confused?
[Nexus S General] nickespi:
would u like to make a bet sprint can pull all the software info from your phone?? Lets just say THATS WHAT THEY DID TO ME AND TOLD THE EXACTS.. WHEN I WAS *****ING TO CUSTOMER SERVICE ONE TIME!! ENOUGH SAID..

I use the HACK for voice and light data and use it wisely. The evo peps always think they know whats crackin.. Ur taking one lil bit of info and blowing it up because 15 peps abused it most likely. If that was the case they would not allow u to roam in the first place...

Dont get all technical here this is for people that want to USE THEIR phone..

Also if you needed you can BUY roam control from the MARKET!!!!! This will allow voice to work perfectly..if you end up getting data its 1x super slow..but as long as u can make a phone call..its worth it...
