[Xoom General] koolmoedee1000:
great thread guys, not willing to void my warranty yet but good to see some support for our devices and i also work for the big T ;)
[Xoom General] EMupp:
So does this mean we will be able to flash back to a Telstra ROM and NextG will work again?
[Xoom General] Muskie:
I thought we still had NextG?

What's the status here, anyway? is everything working yet?
[Xoom General] Muskie:
I'm stumped. i've followed everything to the letter, done all the pushed and pulls, used almost every build.prop and settings.db combination possible, and nothing. No 3g.

it works, but just no 3g.. the heck?
[Xoom General] EMupp:
We have 3G, not NextG, at least, I've never seen HSPDA in use since making the change.

Also, you must have missed something along the way, the instructions are pretty easy as they stand. Start from the beggining and go over everything again, including rooting ETC.
[Xoom General] adamtuba:
What speeds should we be seeing? I'm getting about 8mbit down & 1.5mbit up pretty consistently.

And not sure what's going on with yours muskie. Love your work with t-mod on my desire, so not sure how someone of your modding experience is having issues none of us have. As stated before many times, just follow the 'mod my euro in 5 easy steps page' and it should work fine.
[Xoom General] scrytch:
So Telstra have now announced that the 3.1 OTA update is coming soon.

I'm going to hold out and grab the OTA log link for the download so you guys can try and shoehorn it on.

Regards,

Shane.
[Xoom General] tromboc:
telstra official OTA 3.1

Scrytch:

July is the date I've been given at work (telstra) for beginning of 3.1 rollout OTA.

Adamtuba:

Im getting very similar results. 8mbit/1.5mbit definitely faster then 3G however not as fast as next g devices i have at the same location. i'll look into the telephony settings see if theres something missing. I had a peek the other day, and the telstra version of build.prop and the telephony settings are way different to the US versions... something to investigate

Muskie:

have you got 3g working yet?
[Xoom General] adamtuba:
btw, anyone considering installing the tiamat custom rom, don't. 3G not working. Apparently they're working on it though.
[Xoom General] tromboc:
hahaha too late. he's right it doesnt

[Xoom General] adamtuba:
3G fix works great btw. Using tiamat custom rom and haven't had 3G for a few days, but with this fix it works great again. Very fast rom too, well worth flashing.
[Xoom General] tromboc:
I had to push the build.prop settings and telephony files again to get mine working.

Just sayin..... ;)
[Xoom General] gotkids:
Thanks for the great guide guys. I already got the info from all the other threads and pulled it together to upgrade but its great to see someone looking after Aussies. I just updated to 1.4.4 Kernel yesterday...1.7Ghz overclock....super nice. Take that Ipad2 users :p
[Xoom General] LIV2:
your "informative" post is just a rehash of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1089695

I'm not sure how that equals hours of googling etc
[Xoom General] adamtuba:
You're more then welcome to be the first one to try flashing experimental roms on your new xoom if you want, that way you can be first to tell us which method works for australian xooms.

Yes it is just a rehash of that thread, but that's because that's the method that works for aussies. Only way to tell that is to flash a few, brick a few, or read this thread.
[Xoom General] LIV2:
There's a difference between copying someone elses guide and pointing out that the euro hardware is identical to the australian hardware

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise that the euro and aussie 3G xooms are all model MZ601.

But who am I to argue? you clearly are someone who knows what they're talking about...
[Xoom General] adamtuba:
Yes, nowadays its not that hard to figure out that the euro and aus models are the same. But back at the end of may when that post was written (not by me I might add) there wasn't that much info out about the aus model. We didn't know the model numbers and whether they were relevant to flashing. Now of course we do, and that's why this post hasn't been updated in a while. Don't have to be an ass about it. 7 posts doesn't make you king
[Xoom General] LIV2:
That's right, my postcount has nothing to do with it, actually knowing what I'm talking about does.
[Xoom General] adamtuba:
What exactly are you talking about? You've confused me.

This thread is about information for Australian telstra xoom users only. If it doesn't help you, don't read it. Two weeks ago when the thread was created it was the ONLY place on the internet that specifically mentioned flashing telstra xooms.

nvm, not continuing this pointless off-topic argument.
[Xoom General] LIV2:
Yet many of us were smart enough to realise the guide for euro xooms applied on launch day without feeling the need to copy pasta someone else's work without attributing it to them
[Xoom General] adamtuba:
I'm sorry, I have to reply to this one. Did you read the original post? You would have seen in the first paragraph:

I am not a developer or active XDA forum poster, I am a forum reader and user. The reason for this post is a lack of information regarding AUSTRALIAN Xoom rooting and updating on XDA (correct me if im wrong). This information is gathered from multiple different sources and I DONT TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR THEIR HARD WORK, nor do I take any responsibility for their instructions. Everything here is their work, however please follow the links for a more up to date process.
[Xoom General] LIV2:
yet i see no link to the euro 3.1 update + root thread
[Xoom General] hoonglih:
Can update apply to Optus Xoom?

Hi guys, can this update be use on Optus Xoom code M601?

I realized that XOOM is very unstable that the web brower crashes so often.

Video playback for 720p is laggy at times.

Then the whole system sometimes quite laggy and unresponsive.

I believe all of the above issues can be solved by software updates.

I wonder if updated version 3.1 address to these issues.

Of all my complaints, the worst part is unstable 3G connection.

The 3G connection just freezes and disconnect so often that it is such a frustration to browse web. I wonder you guys with telstra had similar problems?
[Xoom General] adamtuba:
never had a problem with 3g not working. But that's why you pay more for telstra - it works..... ;)

Can't confirm the browser crashing, i updated about 10 minutes after i brought it home and browser has never crashed. Text input is laggy as hell in browser though.

Not sure if the root/update works on the optus xooms. I assume it would (can't see why it wouldn't), but can't confirm without testing one.

Hope this all makes sense.
[Xoom General] smakked:
Righto got 3.1 installed but no 3g , done some snooping and have no apn settings which might be why, but how do i add settings? i can type it all in but cant save then?? ideas?
[Xoom General] smakked:
No go at all with 3g looks like back to stock rom
[Xoom General] adamtuba:
I'm sure you have,but just checking......

Make sure you push all the right files (build.prop, telephony files,etc) back after you update. Not sure what else to suggest sorry, should work after that. Actually, try flashing the tiamat rom (not just stock 3.1) if you're not already, this seemes to fix all the 3g issues people were having.
[Xoom General] humairali45:
Hi i just want to update i used the same build attached here and it worked for me i an not aus user i am international user i have also installed 3G fix i dont now if that matters but it worked out for me now i am us-os aand local 3G thanks to every one for their help and updates
[Xoom General] birdie101:
Help

Hi everyone,

I followed these instructions and had some success, but after a week or so I have lost 3G. Following the instructions again hasn't helped either.

I found the stock AUS and EUR ROMS on the MOTODEV website and have tried both. Both think that they have a 3G connection but no data is transferred. I have checked the APNs and still no luck.

Can anyone suggest what to do next? Now that its re-locked, I'm thinking of taking it back to Telstra.

Cheers,

Luke
[Xoom General] adamtuba:
So you have reinstalled the telstra rom and relocked it? And it still doesn't work? Return it.
[Xoom General] braso:

[Xoom General] kevlarman:
Rooted and upgraded to 3.1 on my Telstra Xoom using the (old) Euro instructions and correct build.prop, but 3G does not work. I have a baseband version, I can make/receive phone calls, but 3G data does not work.

Eh, I'm fine for now and will flash to 3.1 again when Telstra releases the real upgrade.
[Xoom General] stevejau:
Hi, just got my new telstra xoom, mz601, can someone please tell me how to root this beast using a Mac. Thanks.
[Xoom General] tofelofogus:
What I discovered quite by chance is that the sim password option needs to be diabled for the 3G to work. I tried everything several times over and finally when I cleared the tick box viola, it worked. Have you tried this?
[Xoom General] braso:
Guys,

I have rooted my MZ601, installed the ClockwordMod recovery and flashed 3.1 using the instructions on this link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074609

When I got to step 4, I didn't do it as it related to the Verizon version. When I rebooted, the Xoom was caught in a loop with the honeycomb bootscreen animation never loading the OS. Can anyone confirm if I need to do Step 4 prior to going back to the instructions here? Any help would be appreciated. I'm currently back in the Clockwork Mod awaiting assistance.

Cheers

Shane

EDIT - Used step 4 and got 3.1 working. Just need to try and get the Australian 3G working now.
[Xoom General] braso:
OK, 3G still not working. It was much easier with my HTC Desire to just flash the new radio's and then the new ROM.

Anyway, can someone please confirm the method for getting these settings to the Xoom. Are they pushed in this manner using ADB?

adb remount

adb pull /system/build.prop build.backup ##cant be too safe##

adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

adb push settings.db-wal /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-wal

adb push settings.db-shm /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-shm

adb push telephony.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db

adb push telephony.db-journal /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db-journal

adb push build.modified /system/build.prop

If so, I am having problems with the last push. It comes up with an error saying 'Cannot Stat build.modified' and something about the file not existing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Shane
[Xoom General] braso:
Disregard, sorted. Now have 3.1 with all the bells and whistles including 3G. APN settings came up once I selected Telstra Mobile from the list of Network Operators available. Very happy with this ROM so far.
[Xoom General] adamtuba:
Sorry, haven't been on and didn't see this till now. Glad you got it all sorted. Welcome to the 3.1 party!
[Xoom General] braso:
okay guys,

I seem to have lost 3G today for no apparent reason. I could see Telstra come up as an available network and it would give the message 'registered on network' but there was no connectivity or 3G symbol showing.

I need a bit of assistance with a couple of the steps as I can't even get a baseband showing on my Xoom since I have reflashed 3.1.

Firstly,

After reflashing 3.1 (HMJ37_HC3.1_Both_Models_BRDizzled) I flash the 'Bootloader patch 3.1) immediately after without rebooting.

I then flash 'HMJ37_root_sdcard_3G.zip' (have tried it with and without rebooting and have even left this step out).

I then push the telephony and settings files described in this thread but I am either ending up with a wifi only device or a boot loop on the honeycomb startup screen.

Can someone please provide some assistance as I'm thinking about putting stock back on and locking from the MotoDev site. I'd prefer working 3G to a working SD slot at this stage.

I have been pushing the telephony files through ADB while the OS is loaded. Is that my problem? Should I be in fastboot mode? Any instructions or if anyone cares to make a quick guide from reflashing of 3.1 on, would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Shane

Hey guys, I've rooted the Telstra AU 3.1 Update.

Check here for the files: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160979

For best results wipe/re-lock then begin with the update and then root.

That procedure worked for me.
[Xoom General] Wych:
has anyone attempted to go to 3.2 with an AU/Telstra Xoom yet?
[Xoom General] cheetah2k:
You can't. 3.2 is only Wifi compatible right now

**********

On another note, got my replacement Optus Xoom yesterday and its pre-loaded with 3.1. No battery drain issues which is interesting. SD Card works awesomly too

:D
[Xoom General] Wych:
Cool, I'm hoping to get mine from Telstra at the end of the month so hopefully it'll have 3.1 as well.

On a semi-related note: Are the updates tied to the 3G network for these like a phone? So if I bought a Xoom out right from JB HiFi I would then need to get a sim for it & depending on that sim [telstra, optus etc] it would get updates at different times? [tried searching for this but couldn't find an answer]

Or I guess I could just root it straight away & hang the warranty
[Xoom General] cheetah2k:
My understanding is that Motorola releases the updates by carrier and original equipment release date, however I think Optus has bucked the trend on this - eg. Optus released the Xoom 6-8 weeks after Telstra, and yet they managed to get the 3.1 update less than 2 weeks after Telstra (ie, should have been 6-8 weeks later).

So in reality, one could assume that both Telstra and Optus will get further updates (like 3.2) around the same time.

Regarding your issue with the SIM card, if you buy a Telstra Xoom, it has Telstra software and a Telstra HW identifier. Therefore, regardless of whether you have Telstra, Optus or Voda sim in it for data, you will get the updates when Telstra releases the updates.

Same goes for every other carrier in the world. :)
[Xoom General] iBuzman:
Thanks - your telephony & carrier pull-push notes were very helpful in me getting Honeycomb 3.2 Hammerhead ROM by Tiamat working on my Optus 3G Xoom.

Ta..

[Xoom General] bretto_aus:
Yeah i have a AU telstra xoom and im currently running Tiamats 2.2 Moray (android 3.2) and my 3G seems to work fine (i have a nextG sim and it receives network, but i have no credit on it tho i can browse unmetered bigpond sites on 3G) plus ive gone one step further and done the SMS/MMS mod found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1227503 and can send and receive sms and mms with go sms pro.

[Xoom General] pvella:
edit: For anyone on Telstra 3G with the update. The instructions here work perfectly, just skip the 3.1 update part and use CWM to load the Tiamat 2.1 - Hammerhead (Android 3.2) straight from the sdcard. Works perfectly.
[Xoom General] thenashy:
Can anyone confirm if the process in the first post of this thread still works?

Seems the Xoom is a bastard to root, so I don't want to screw it up, and if I lose my NextG connection, I'm going to rage.:confused:
[Xoom General] iPWNtehNOOB:
I've just rooted my MZ604 using this method and everything is fine.

I now want to unroot it after seeing that unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty.

Is there any way to relock it?
[Xoom General] iBuzman:
Thanks, once again this guide has come in handy after I've flashed a rom :-)

This time it enabled 3G on the ICS 4.0.3 Alpha build. (so glad I kept a copy of my telephony files the first time I did this).

3G on ICS - yay!!

3g xooming along

Hey guys, am new around here and to rooting and flashing xooms. Flashed my 601 about an hour ago and I'm thinking Team EOS should be renamed team genius. If you haven't flashed a rom just take your time and read through it and then if you've got the balls...do it! ICS is nothing short of brilliant. 3G, SD card and every other bell and whistle are working just fine. I am the proud owner of a telstra Xoom now without all the bloatware crap. Just as a note, flashed Nightlys #21 and if you hadn't guessed it works like a frigging charm. Want more updated roms so I flash the **** out of this thing!
[Xoom General] mtrax:
So just to be clear do you use only the instructions on the first post of this thread?

or do I need to scan for updates/corrections that following first post?

ie has the first post been updated to consolidate any updates?

thanks and look forward to following your example.
[Xoom General] maverick1974:
Hi mtrax. Follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459641 worked great for me. Even face lock works for me which caught me by surprise. I'd scoured the forums about nightly builds and went for #20 as it seemed the most stable out of the latest releases. Good luck and let me know how you go.

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

Made a mistake there I deffo used build 21 not 20. Sorry about that.
[Xoom General] mtrax:
Do you mean use the page#1 instructions but use the Team EOS ROM?

Sorry my first attempt in rooting a android device
[Xoom General] maverick1974:
No mate. Use the whole Team EOS thing, their files and instructions. It took me two goes to get it all to fall into place but its worth it. You'll notice in the instructions for Team EOS that there are two options. EasyADB is the first option and the one I went with. Just remember that when you do root and flash you will lose everything so be sure to back up your important stuff.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

OK just checked the Team EOS page and couldn't find the bloody instructions. Just trying to find the ones I used so hold fire until I post them for you.
[Xoom General] maverick1974:
OK he goes, no wonder I couldn't find it it was on a different bloody forum

As I've just found out I can't post and external site link on here as I'm still a junior member. Email me at rkpeterson74@Gmail.com and I shall send you the link.

The instructions in some parts may seem a bit confusing. Install Easy adb to the C drive on your computer and when you d/l the tiamat recovery copy that into the same directory. It's a zip file but it will auto install. I copied this file onto my micro SD card as well just in case. You'll need to copy the universal root there as well and to save messing about install the nightly from to it and the Google apps -Gapps- there also. Once you've unlocked and rooted it, then everything else can be done directly from the Xoom. To check and see if it's rooted just go into your apps on the Xoom and you should see 'superuser' installed. If it is then flash the nightly from and then the Gapps. If not go back and try the root again. I always copy and paste the code that is in the instructions into adb rather than running the risk of screwing it up somewhere down the line. Any problems then message me and I shall try and help. Good luck.

Help with 3g Xoom Telstra

Hi Guys,

I need some help with my xoom MZ601. I got xoom second hand and it had no 3g working. I got it cheap so nothing to complain about. But I would like to try and get that working as a exercise to learn more about rooting and cooking custom Roms. All the help I can get will be highly appreciated.

So here is the story...

When I got xoom, it had android 3.0.1. It had no 3g working at that point. I then updated the OS to 3.1 and 3.2 from Telstra. Still no 3g. So I thought I would root the xoom and get some custom rom installed.

After reading numerous post on the xda and various other forums on internet figured out that Team EOS rom was very well maintained and updated and so went with that. It is for the Euro xoom. But still cant get 3g. Searched around forum but no luck. Tried replacing the setting and build.prop files as mentioned in . Flashed different kernel and patches but nothing. Tried reverting back to the original firmware found on the Motorola website and got stuck at home screen with message "Tablet is not provisioned......". Cant do anything until I install a working sim. So rooted xoom again and used the EOS Euro rom for MZ601 again.

Below is current rom info...

Rom - 4.0.3

Kernel Version - 2.6.39.4 Tiamat-3.0.5

Build - EOS 1.0.0

Baseband - N_01.100.05P

Troubleshooting step taken

I have a working sim in the xoom which is from Telstra and have verified it on other device. I have tried different sim but same issue.

When I go to Mobile network and APN - I can not see any APNs in there so I tried adding new APN based on setting found on Telsra's website. It did not work.

I can search for the Network and it will load up the list of available network in my area including Telstra Mobile and 3Telstra, but when I select any of them will display message "Sim does not allow connection to selected network" - Atleast the antenna is working fine based on that outcome I think.

Also when I look at the notification area it says "No Service - Selected network(Telstra Mobile) unavailable"

I dont know much about what can cause this problem. I can get more info if need via adb commands (Dont know any myself but can look for them and post logs if requested).

Sorry for the long post. But wanted to get all the info out, so if we get this issue solved, it could be helpful for others as well as I have noticed lots of guys have the same problem.

Thanks for reading this...:)
