Instructions:

1) Back up your device's apps and data and nandroid to be safe

that being said, wait for the fix.
[Xoom Android Development] gerald410:
Thx Big for the Rom:) Your off to a great start!
[Xoom Android Development] diaa08:
haha thanks man, i know its my fault. hey as a general question with these backups, in case of wipe... should we be copying these backups to the external SD in case internal gets wiped in this process or is that not a likely scenario?
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
The backup should automatically be saved to external, that's what cwm sees.
[Xoom Android Development] gpstar:
I had no problem flashing and getting into the rom. It did a boot loop the first time, so I did the instructions that robbiev80 said he did on his. I just cant do a factory reset to clear my personal data. It will clear apps though. But the installation of apps from the market or whatever does the reboot everytime. Then doing the wipe from android settings privacy menu does the same thing, wipes everything but my personal data. I'm Going to load up my nandroid backup and wait for fix, but I guess it appears to be the read only issue that CWM causes on the data partition which is causing the problem.
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
Hi BRD, great work as usual. I see the LED charge lights are not working. Can I flash the boot.img file from your kernel thread to get this back?
[Xoom Android Development] robbiev80:
Just in case people want to see the new battery indicator:
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
What does "SMS capable enabled" mean? Sorry for such a simplistic question.
[Xoom Android Development] lokko21:
Luckily I nandroid a few days ago, did went back and have 3G back, will wait for the next fix.

Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
OK guys, I need somebody with currently working Verizon 3g activated to join me on #xoom irc channel on freenode. I know what happened.
[Xoom Android Development] h4jj1:
Thanks for the response bigrushdog - I have tried several approaches:

So I have a US Xoom 3G - using as Wifi Only.

Applied ROM - no wipe - Activation loop in wizard.

Factory Reset through Android OS - Applied ROM - Activation loop in wizard.

CWM Wipe - Applied ROM - Activation loop in wizard.

I am back to using the 3.1 Stock with root without issue.
[Xoom Android Development] dr_derqami:
euro 601

Euro 3g version please.
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
working here but I don't see the CRT animation after the first power cycle.
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
US Wifi 3.1 (BRD Method) here.

I'm thinking even before flashing I'll wipe within HC. I'm not a big fan of flashing ROM's over ROM's.

Should be good, yeah?
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
Up to you. I have the same US wifi model. I followed BRDs instructions, did not wipe, and it works perfectly. Absolutely zero problems. Been running about 6 hours.
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
Yeah.. reading through the pages and pages, I'll just stick to what's recommended... :D
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
Anyone running the BigDX theme prior to flashing? (w/ no wipe)

If so, I'm assuming the theme was overwritten correct? (I'm hoping that pieces of it won't stick around)
[Xoom Android Development] jim_panse:
how did you deodex? Is there a updated version of smali?
[Xoom Android Development] lokko21:
The only way that it works for me, its by clicking on the clock, then when you have that window open try to turn it off, and it works. Try it.

Evo Better Than The Best...
[Xoom Android Development] gpstar:
hmmm interesting i reflashed again and followed your instructions exactly and it worked this time. No longer have the forced reboot when installing apps. hmm... all my user data is still there after the factory reset as usual.
[Xoom Android Development] diaa08:
you mean someone with a non broken 3g you mean? or just an activated one? i would be willing to reflash to stock if it makes the fix possible, if you havent found anyone
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
Yeah that works.
[Xoom Android Development] juDGEY2k10:
Yes me to what dose this mean? We can text from xoom now?
[Xoom Android Development] lokko21:
What have been stopping you from texting..?? You can use Gvoice, Textfree, so many apps, that let you text. Even phone calls with GrooveIp.

Evo Better Than The Best...
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
CRT animation works every time in portrait mode but it closes down the side to side instead of top and bottom :)
[Xoom Android Development] Kippui:
So for US wifi 3.1 OTA you just flash the zip then do a factory reset inside android?

trying to get this straight..
[Xoom Android Development] headcheese:
That's what I have and tried, I couldn't get the Rom to boot.

Let me know if you get it, maybe I just suck.
[Xoom Android Development] juDGEY2k10:
In the uk you can not use any of them apps here. I want to text direct from my xoom useing my xooms number, not using my phone or via an app number.

So again wot dose it mean?
[Xoom Android Development] faylix:
US Wifi Xoom.

Held the volume up and back key - rebooted, pressed volume down. got recovery

[Xoom Android Development] strat_player:
I was running it prior to the flashing the ROM. The BigDX start up animation remains but the theme components, once the XOOM loads, are gone.
[Xoom Android Development] bilago:
How was this hard to miss bro you did not need to run a recovery
[Xoom Android Development] Sistema1927:
US wifi already at 3.1 w/1.4.4 kernel via BRD. Flashed new ROM, no wipe needed, all is great.
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
USA wifi here too, OTA 3.1. Installed great for me, had a bootloop then did a factory reset via CWM and reflashed. All is well.

Nevermind, cant install from market, dooh...
[Xoom Android Development] jroid:
This rom is awesome :) ONLY things that I would change are the little glow on the search mic (seems like a glitch to me) the crt animation in landscape needs fixed and in portrait , and finally the glows when the notification hub comes up are banded and aren't smooth. same for the multi-task switcher the glows there are banded. Other than that it's awesome. great work OP and team
[Xoom Android Development] tomcrown1:
Try doing what I did for 3G. First flash the 3G w/light or without light boot image, then flash the rom and see if that fixes the 3G problem.
[Xoom Android Development] dowenprs:
Follow the directions people, flashed the rom, all is working great, thanks brd!
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
I'm curious about this too as I loved my charging light. Did you end up flashing the boot.img Clyde?

I'm scurrrrrred :D

[Xoom Android Development] jsms0905:
so i backed up everything with titanium, put the rom in "external" then went into recovery mode to make a nandroid and i did. i wanted to reboot and just factory wipe to make sure i dont have any problems since i have a wifi 3.1 OTA and it gets stuck on dual core. it wont go past that. ive tried recovering from nandroid and it still gets stuck on dual core. and the zip doesnt appear in External so ive tried adb pushing it to the sdcard and it it says its been transfered but it wont appear under sdcard or anywhere. and it wont let me boot up.....help. im also running the newest CWM 4.0.something
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
Followed the instructions...

1) Flashed rom, got a bootloop.

2) Restored nandroid, did factory reset via OS

3) Once restore completed immediately booted into recovery and reflashed rom.

4) Rom booted but still cannot install from the market...

Movie tab shows now however...
[Xoom Android Development] tagacapiz:
great start. works, no problems.
[Xoom Android Development] Mrperf3ct:
How about disabling mobile view in browser. And netflix app.
[Xoom Android Development] bloodmut:
First off, many thanks to the majik makers who did this.

-Flashed Rom, bootlooped

-Restored nandroid

-Factory Reset

-Flashed Rom again, still bootlooping...

Am I missing something? Cuz it wouldn't be the first time :P

Sorry!!
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
Which xoom are you running?
[Xoom Android Development] headcheese:
WiFi running 3.1 via OTA. I have same problem.
[Xoom Android Development] stiffspliff:
followed directions in op and everything works, what do ya know

wifi only xoom 3.1 via ota

if ur market installs reboots just flash older cwm (5.11) and wipe data from recovery then flash rom..

check md5, etc all that good stuff
[Xoom Android Development] bloodmut:
Yup. Wifi 3.1 via OTA, CWM 3.0.2.8...

damn, was really excited about this :(
[Xoom Android Development] stiffspliff:
guessing its the dedicated 3rd or 4th post in thread that details the how to here
[Xoom Android Development] Sic123:
im having issues with widgets failing to load in adw on wifi xoom udated with brds 3.1
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
How long does first boot take??? Im stuck on the boot animation for about 7 mins now...
[Xoom Android Development] strat_player:
Im not sure how long but a lot longer than usual. I was starting to worry but it eventually booted up fine.
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
hmm, k will let you guys know if it boots...hopefully
[Xoom Android Development] strat_player:
Did you happen to have BigDX's theme installed prior to flashing the ROM? I have read some reports that the theme is incompatible and causes a boot loop at the start up screen. I had BigDX's theme installed so that may have been why it took so long for me. Like I said though, it eventually booted up.
[Xoom Android Development] Prod1702:
Installed fine here wifi only xoom updated to 3.1 using brd's update. I did have to full wipe to get market to work but all is fine now. Nice job BRD. Can't wait for more.
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
Still on the boot screen. Im not running any themes, just upgraded to 3.1 through xda and flashed Tiamat's 1.4.4 kernel, also I updated CWM before I flashed...hmm might have to wipe
[Xoom Android Development] monyozt:
i have verizon XOOM, if i perform wipe data from CWM, how about my internal 32gb data?

I can't wipe in android system, im stuck on the boot animation!??

PS: on WiFi only version
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
Sit tight guys, we're working on a fix for the 3g issues.
[Xoom Android Development] strat_player:
Have you tried to a hard reset? Hold the power button and volume up for 3 seconds.
[Xoom Android Development] Prod1702:
Restore your nanodroid and it should boot then wipe and reflash. Hopefully wiping in cwm is fixed soon.
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
Still gets stuck on boot animation
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
Will give this a try now

EDIT: Hmm, I can't get into recovery, adb devices aren't found even though I'v done it before
[Xoom Android Development] monyozt:
so, how to wipe data before i flash this rom?
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
Do a factory reset within the settings of honeycomb
[Xoom Android Development] strat_player:
and you've tried getting into recovery using vol. dn.+power method as well?
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
This gets me into the bootloader. I can fastboot stuff but I can't adb.
[Xoom Android Development] Sic123:
hold pwr+vol up until it reboots then when its on the motorola logo tap vol down and it should say android recovery if not press down a few more times until it does then vol up to select recovery
[Xoom Android Development] KingDavid63:
flashed in recovery and rebooted... been looking at the honeycomb boot animation about 5 min now? is this normal?
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
ahhh, I see thank you, will give a restore a try
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
I had this issue, check out (read) the last couple pages before this post.
[Xoom Android Development] strat_player:
Sorry about that moosamm... I should have combined my posts...it wouldve made things clearer.
[Xoom Android Development] free_free:
what is the Micro SD folder
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
No worries, I guess we all learn something new everyday :)
[Xoom Android Development] KingDavid63:
hit the vol down button three seconds after u see dual core screen then immediately hit the up vol button should put u right into recovery
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
Stuck on 'Dual Core' screen after restore in recovery...bad backup maybe?
[Xoom Android Development] monyozt:
Will this method will wwipe my internal 32gb?
[Xoom Android Development] spdapimp217:
Wooo hooo!!! Got it working. I'm on US WiFi Xoom. I initially got the boot animation and it did not progress so I booted back into recovery, updated to to latest CWM, wiped, shutdown, boot back into recovery via pwr + vol up, reflashed the Rom, rebooted, and TADAAAA!!!!
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
It's in mnt/sdcard/external.
[Xoom Android Development] Sic123:
not where is the micro sd he wants to know what it is there is a new system folder called MicroSD
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
So what did you so once u booted back into recovery...restore a nandroid backup??
[Xoom Android Development] KingDavid63:
ok yea got it... 3.1 US WIFI... had to flash newest cwm through rom manager and reflashed rom after wipe and booted fine.. thanks guys...

dont see the screen off animation though...
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
Did u wipe in the new CWM or in the android system?
[Xoom Android Development] headcheese:
What version is latest cwm? 4.0?
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
OK, sorry. I haven't flashed the ROM yet, so I wasn't aware. That's interesting...
[Xoom Android Development] moosamm:
I think v4.0.0.1
[Xoom Android Development] keunhuvac:
Hi! Im gonna try this ROM, but first, i want to ask:

1. When i do reset factory data, will it delete entire internal memory? I have alot of data under /android/data/ folder.

2. In case i nandroid everything, after flashing new rom, can i restore data to new ROM?

Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] mynameisjon:

I'm not sure about audio, but for visual you can user Launcher Pro. In settings you can check unread sms count and it will show you the number of unread messages. It allows you to do it for missed calls & gmail messages as well.

[Nexus S General] gmap516:
Hey guys, I'm wondering what actions Sprint or Google will take if the radio problems on the Nexus S 4G end up being hardware problems or NOT fixable via OTA update. Will there be a recall of the device? Hardware replacements? Will it be covered under Samsung's manufacturer warranty?

In other words, I'm just wondering if I should return/exchange it before I might be stuck with a device with faulty hardware.
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
My ns4g works just fine id exchange it of I were you.
[Nexus S General] Bostonfin:
Had same problems, took it back waiting on evo 3d. I've never had good luck with Samsung phones.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Mine works great also. Take yours back. Bye.
[Nexus S General] gmap516:
I'm really happy for you that you're not experiencing any problems on your devices, but the fact remains that a lot of people are. My 3g speeds are slower and 4G coverage seems to be a lot harder to connect to than it did on my EVO. (Granted, I don't have the EVO to compare it to anymore) My signal over time is around -86 or -90 dbm and sometimes drops down (or above?) 100 or so. I've also noticed that the signal bars sometimes drop to 0 and/or I lose 3G and return to 1X.

Anyway, back to the main point, I just want to know how Samsung/Sprint/Google will handle returns or warranty replacements if it's not fixable via OTA update :)
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Im sure a new update will include a radio to handle the -dm spectrum and data. Sprint is not known for the fastest internet out there so that is something to consider. If you are within your 30 days take it back. If not, go thru the proper channels and be polite. You will get it replaced or something will be done. If your phone is unusable, they cant make you keep it. Verizon has good 3g, but then again, i live on the outskirts of a major city. All about provider and location. Have you had missed calls or dropped calls? I think the reception is no worse than any other. It is just displayed differently.

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] gmap516:
Switching carriers isn't really an option. My family pays for my plan and we've been with Sprint for 11 years or so. Honestly, I'm pretty happy with Sprint. I'm just on the fence about this phone. If anything, I'll go for the EVO3D and be happy with that. I had a good time on my EVO. I'm sure it won't be problem free with a hardware version 1, but there's a few things I like about the 3D more than the Nexus and vice versa.

Anyway, thanks for the response :)
[Nexus S General] splat matt:
I simply contact via chat on their page. They had me update the profile then update the PRL - during which the reset my connection on their end. I was instructed that after an hour I should see improvement with signal. Sure enough it seems to be working fine now. So give that a shot. Also the agent I chatted with instantly went to solving the issue without the need for me to describe in any detail of the signal issue. It was like he new how to resolve the issue. So maybe sprint has updated their profiles and PRL which resolves the issue. But from the chat he was particular about me following the steps to update from his prompts like he was performing action on his end.
[Nexus S General] gmap516:
Do you by chance have the transcript from the webchat? I'm kinda curious to see it (Not that I don't believe you)

Oh, also... I exchanged my 2nd Nexus for a new one today because of a weird issue that the phone would lock up/freeze with a really dark, greenish tint and only showing part of the screen (Not sure if it was the screen or the whole system) and I'd have to battery pull to get it back.

Anyway... while I was there the Best Buy manager(?) said I wouldn't be able to exchange it for the Evo3D if I decided I didn't like the Nexus? But doesn't exchanging renew the 30 days?
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
It does not renew the 30 days.
[Nexus S General] gmap516:
But can I return it, buy a phone off contract, and regain my upgrade?
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
This is a topic I love discussing. I can tell you from my nexus experience it does in fact get worse service than the EVO. It seems the same as what I got on the epic though. I live in a basement apartment so reception is something I am very aware of at home. I even exchanged my first nexus at the direction of sprint. While in best buy I sat my nexus next to the reps evo, his had full bars, -76 dBm, mine had 0-1 bar and dBm was -9x. He activated the new nexus and it was exactly the same. There is a reception issue with the nexus, the same reception issue ALL samsung galaxy phones have. I had a fascinate for a short time, got rid of it cus it got crappy reception. Same with the vibrant I had. Blame it on what you want, its a fact. With that being said, I think it is being blown out of proportion. I have noticed that most people complaining about the reception are coming from the EVO.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Yup, you can do that. If the reception is THAT bad I would. Im sure there will some sort of update to address the issue, I seriously doubt it will help that much though.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I want to point out one thing that should be kept in mind for anyone coming from the Evo:

The HTC software on the Evo was programmed to overstate the connection strength in terms of bars, and was not even capable of displaying switches to 1x.

AOSP-based icons in the display area seem to be overall much more accurate. I remember there were lots of people on the Evo who would get upset after flashing CyanogenMod because they were "only getting 1x all of a sudden!" when in reality they were always only getting 1x, HTC just displayed the 3G icon anyway no matter what the connection type was. Same for the bars: pretty much any working signal would get you 3+ bars.

I am not saying there is no possibility of legitimate signal issues with the NS4G (I wouldn't know first-hand, I switched to T-Mobile), but the above should be considered when evaluating vague reports of "I only get one bar and my Evo got 4 bars and i only get 1x and my Evo got 3g!!!!"

Also, for the last 4 months Sprint has been doing major, major work on their network. Speeds and connections varied wildly. Ultimately that was why I switched to T-Mobile; the constant dips in speed were just too much for me, even though I know Sprint's network will be better for it in the long run. So there is also the distinct possibility that any poor signal people might see is due to nothing more than network fluctuations.

The really get this ironed out, we would need to see multiple people in multiple locations testing both speed and signal strength using multiple methods, on both an Evo and a NS4G, side by side, over and over, and see the Evo (or any other Sprint phone) continuously demonstrating a clearly superior connection.

At that point I think we'd all pretty much concede that there is a major problem with the NS4G. Short of that, it's really just speculation.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Very good points. My argument is Ive had the EVO and NS4G in the same house, the EVO worked 100% in here, mms, web all of it. I cant make a call or send a text with my NS4G without the airave I had to buy when I got the NS4G. But, the same applied to my epic. It got terrible service in here also.

Lets just hope the update Ive seen mentioned will address signal and not free tethering :P
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I don't wish to invalidate your experience; I definitely believe you. But because there could be so many, many factors involved it is not really enough for ME to conclude that there is a fundamental flaw with the NS4G. But if a few people were able to perform the tests I mentioned, that might convince me (and maybe some folks at Google, too)!
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Im not saying there is anything wrong with the NS4G. Im saying its samsung phones in general...
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
It's not a problem on the i9020.
