If you directly flashed a 1.139.04 image your kernel has not been updated. You had to flash a 1.016.04 image, flexrom and boot, and then run the update.

You MIGHT have some luck regardless by running the update.zip now (I used it on mine one time when I updated like you did, and it seemed to work, but I have not noticed the kernel number). Be prepared to have to reflash if something goes wrong though.
[Acer Iconia A500] tianqi:
I did reflash system, flexrom, and boot from 1.016.04...

Second time is still the same...

Kernel is still 2.6.36.3-00001-gf991e5d...
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
Curious.. One thing would be to try to run the update.zip through recovery one more time. It might not work though and you might end up having to go back to the chinese update.
[Acer Iconia A500] tianqi:
Let me double check the steps before i try the third time :(

flash chinese update.acer.zip renaming it to update.zip...

Boot into it, using dd and restore the old 1.016.04 system.img, flexrom.img and boot.img.

And rename the extracted official 1.139.04 update to update.zip to flash?
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
I would recommend rebooting each time after installing system.img and flexrom.img (especially system.img, the tablet usually crashed after finishing flashing).

Prepare your update.zip on the microSD. The update.zip is the file you extract after you decode (XOR 12 on the file contents using a hexeditor) one of the update packs posted around.

NOTE: If you cannot open the .zip you want to pass for an update.zip, that's the file you need to XOR 12 (DO NOT rename this file to update.zip - there should be no renaming files involved). After you decode it, inside it you will find an update.zip, another folder and a file. That's the update.zip you need to place on the microSD.

After that flash boot.img, and power down. Power up holding the volume button closest to the power button and enter recovery. The update should complete without issues.

If you miss entering recovery, you will need to go back to flashing the chinese rom again, the tablet boot will fail with an error about an incorrect checksum.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr1337:
Yeah my kernel is also 2.6.36.3-00001-gf991e5d after the manual upgrade.
[Acer Iconia A500] spaanplaat:
I need a little help. After reading that the update would fail if I had removed any system apps I decided to copy the missing apk to the system/apps folder. Unfortunately the tablet rebooted during the copy which resulted in a bootloop. Luckily with the chinese update.zip I was able to get it running again.

Now I have a different rom without the dutch language. I've read alot of threads but I cannot find the proper files to restore it to the Gen3 rom. Can someone point me in the right direction? Also I had no backup and I do not no exactly which rom version was on my a500.

I'm now on 1.122.01_emea_gen5 and it was something with gen3.

Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Just so you know I just did this with the US 1.141.07 and all you have to flash is boot.img then system.img reboot. and flash the update.zip from the corresponding update the system and boot.img are you just flashed.

Search the market for Rom Manager. Please make sure your phone is fully rooted, (S-Off).

I hope this helps you bub.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yeah, you need to be rooted AND S-Off. If you don't know, you can verify S-Off by powering down, then holding the volume down button while pressing the power button. When the screen comes up, there will be some text, and one of the lines at the top will say S-Off or S-On.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
Go to market and download ROM Manager to get ClockworkMOD recovery flashed on your phone. Go to the dev section and choose a GB ROM, I suggest RMK's Virtuous G-Lite 1.0.2 as it is overclockable via SetCPU to 1.5GHz and is AOSP GB.

As posted above, make sure you have root and S-OFF as this will ensure that you are set for flashing roms.

To flash is simple, not sure if you have flashed before so I will post this anyways.

Download the rom you want to try and place in the root of your sd card. Once you have CWM flashed, use ROM Manager to boot into recovery. Go to backup/restore and perform a backup of your current setup. Then go to wipe and wipe data, cache and battery stats. After, head to flash zip from sd and select the rom zip, let it do its thing and you should be in business! First boot is always longest and should always perform a cold boot after a flash to settle things down before you use it.

Have fun!

Hi All!

I would like to convert my completely stock non-rooted Canadian Wifi Xoom (MZ604) into a US xoom so that I can install the 3.1 software on it, as well as root, sdcard capable kernel, and CWM recovery.

Unfortunately, after reading many many of the threads here, I am totally confused as to what order to follow. Here is what I'm thinking,

but please please correct me if I am wrong

Is that it? I feel like I'm missing something or that I may brick my device since it is not a US-rom that I am using as a base.

I was hesitant to do that since I am reading a lot of bricking stories lately, I have a canadian MZ604 stock too, will do the same if you succeed!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterslacker:
Alright folks, It's been a few days now since I've updated my Xoom, so here's the process that I used. Note that it is different from the steps I listed in the original post:

1. Unlock the device via fastboot. Instructions here. DO NOT RE-LOCK EVER!!

2. Flash the Official & complete US 3.0.1 HWI69 ROM. Links here. Every time I tried to download the "does not require login" version from mediafire I got a corrupted zip, so instead I downloaded from the Motorola developer site (with instructions) here.

3. Once the 3.0.1 Rom was up and running, and I had an internet connection, I got the OTA notification for the 3.1 update and installed it. It took about 10 minutes to notify me once I had connection, probably because it had to download it before notifying me. After the install and reboot process, I had a stock 3.1 install, but still didn't have sdcard access. So, I kept going.

4. Install CWM 3.0.2.8 recovery, using the fastboot method. Instructions here.

Once CWM was installed and I had the ability to backup the rom, I immediately made a backup before EACH of the following steps was performed. I know it is overkill to make that many backups, but I wanted to be sure I wasn't going to screw up my device at any given step and have to start over again.

5. Root the 3.1 rom from here. After rooting I had sdcard access within honeycomb at /sdcard/external.

6. Installed Tiamat 1.4.2 kernel. Instructions here.

7. Installed the Language Pack from here, but when I rebooted the system it went into a loop on the purple animated honeycomb logo. So, I rebooted into recovery again, and did a "wipe data / factory reset" - this allowed my machine to reboot normally, but I had to reconfigure all my settings and reinstall all my apps.

So as of right now I'm on 3.1 HMJ37, rooted, with CWM recovery, Tiamat kernel, and have international languages! It's great!!

Mike.

Thanks for the detailed info... I flashed the complete US 3.0.1 ROM on my canadian xoom and got the 3.1 OTA update as well. So now my canadian wifi xoom is on US 3.1 !

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitrick:
When you say Flash US 3.0.1 ...do you have steps to do that? I'm just wondering how to do it...since I don't have a functional SD Card I guess its not the flash update.zip method...

How to flash

I've spent hours on this and I guess I must be stupid, but I can NOT figure out how to flash a ROM! I've tried the ADB commands, I've download the ROM manager, etc, etc, etc...I cannot find any instructions on how to do this! It must be very simple because every time I look for instructions, they always just say "flash the ROM" like it's nothing. But HOW???

Very frustrating...there appears to be no single place that outlines all the steps in one place - it takes a dozen web pages to do the simplest things...

I also want to update my Canadian ROM to a US ROM. I'm unlocked, I'm running Tiamat 1.3.0 but I don't know what to do now...?

It seems as though having an external micro SD card supported is a prerequisite, but I cannot figure out how to get that to work either. The frustrating part of all this is that I do (Windows) computer support - I'm not new to technology in any way, but I have seldom been more frustrated than this trying to find one set of clear instructions...!

HELP!

Thanks.

Ok, hook your xoom up to your computer and open up a command line. Then CD to your tools directory of the android sdk and input these commands.

adb reboot fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot

And your good to go..... continue from the next step :) just be carefully to input the commands exactly, and for the love of Pete DONT UNPLUG your xoom while flashing

And do NOT relock!!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rezadue:
I will be attempting this in the next day or so but had a few newbie questions (coming over from the apple world):

1) For step two, the img files all come from HWI69.zip?

2) For step four, do I want to do it with CWM or without? Is there more risk to one vs. the other?

3) For step six, to boot into recovery mode, is the following sequence correct?

Turn your XOOM off

Press Power to turn your XOOM back on

When the Motorola Dual Core boot screen appears tap Volume Down repeatedly until "Android Recovery" is displayed

Press Volume Up to enter Recovery

Thanks,
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
1) Correct - also, I know I keep saying this, but on the Moto site instructions for flashing they tell you to relock. Don't!!

2) I used the fastboot method (without). Make sure to download the img and not the zip.

3) I tend to wait on the Moto logo for about 3 secs then just press down once. Then up once you get the recovery option. Never fails.

Good luck.

Relock

Question : why shouldn't we "RE-LOCK EVER" ?

I ask because I've relocked mine after flashing Europe stock on my US Xoom (I [stupidly] did what I saw on motorola dev instructions...).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterslacker:
1. Yes. Just make sure you put all the files in the same folder as the fastboot program.

2. The first time you install CWM you must use the fastboot method, since the default recovery will not allow it to install. If you ever want to upgrade it in the future you can use the CWM method to upgrade.

3. I believe that is the sequence. Once I rooted, I installed an app called widgetsoid that allowed me to put a widget on my deskto that allows me to reboot into recovery mode.

Where the heck is the rom build number in HC... mine show H.6.2.21.1200906654 nothing like the HWI69 or something format...

I like the tablet so far except for the POWER plug position, you can't even charge in angle when using a Motorola case... hopefully some generic charger will come out with a 90 deg power plug but they really selected a ridiculous place ..

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tourbillion:
I have made it to step 4, but in the link to step five it says that you must have your physical SD card set up and functioning? How can i have the SD card set up if i have not rooted yet or flashed the tiamat 1.4.2 kernel? I am quite new at this, so i am probably missing something here.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterslacker:
After step 4 you should have CWM Recovery installed. CWM will be able to see the SD card even though the android OS does not. So, in step 5, copy the root package onto your SD card using a card reader attached to your computer, then put in the xoom, and flash the root file with CWM.

I'd like to thank you for posting this procedure. I can jailbreak my old iPhone with my eyes closed but this was a new to me.

Procudure was flawless, except for a couple of file naming conventions like recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img. Also several of the links appear to be dead. But no big deal.

I wanted to pass along one main issue I had that may have happened to others..

Message on CPU:

Fastboot flash system system.img

sending 'system' (262144 KB)...

FAILED (data transfer failure (too many links))

Finished.

This message came up numberous time and had me worried to death that I had bricked it, as I got stuck at the big M. My CPU would give the USB disconnected and connected sound when this happened. Simply changing to a different port helped this I believe. Also installing several times over and over again, at some point it finally went through.

But now I am at least running US3.1, Timat 1.4.4 and microSD. Thanks for your help.

Thanks to all others for the encourage I have seen between you all, it helped me also.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterslacker:
I think this happens if you use one of those USB ports at the front of the computer - they have their own control hardware and can become unstable when large amounts of data pass over them.

I've always been told that when doing these type of device flashes, it's important to use a USB port that is at the back of the computer since they are on the motherboard and controlled directly by the motherboard.

I'm glad that everything worked out for you!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ridilen:
Exactly what happened. BTW, after following all the steps I should be rooted, no? So I should be able to change system files like unlock.ogg, no? Can I use a simple file explorer to copy over system files now, or do I still need a root explorer?

what if I have 3.2?

Masterslacker

Great post on how to upgrade Canadian xoom to 3.1. I was just upgrading this morning and got 3.1 and was about to root as per your instructions when I received another system update notification. Thinking the first 3.1 update didn't go as planned I installed it only to find out I was uograded to 3.2. Great that I now have SD card access (not r/w) but I don't know if I should follow your root instructions now. Do you know if there will be an update on files to root for us lucky Canadians that flashed to US and now have 3.2?

Cheers
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterslacker:
I used this thread to upgrade to a rooted 3.2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1165998

I am not sure if it would work on a Xoom already on stock 3.2, when you just need root. Perhaps you could post in that thread and ask about rooting a stock OTA install of 3.2? At the moment I am not sure of other threads that could help, but I'm sure in a few days there will be many ;)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr0cs:
I wanted to attempt the move from Canadian 3.1 to US 3.2 but I didn't get very far.

Currently it looks like the SDK from google no longer includes fastboot.

when the device has booted I can see the device in ADB, if I use adb reboot bootloader I get into the bootloader but once there ADB no longer sees the device.

I would have thought that the Xoom would be easy as hell to update/flash but it's turning out to be considerably harder than my gtablet.

Anyone know if fastboot is no longer supported, they aren't distributing it anymore with the sdk from what I've seen.
