If you have anything other then Verizon 3g you have to do a complete factory reset in android system not cwm. Cwm messes up market and gives you reboots. If you get bootloops after you factory reset and flashed rom, this is when I booted to recovery and did a data wipe in cwm restarted and Tom booted up fine other working market uptime of 8 hours now no problem.
[Xoom Android Development] ax0r:
I am on Wifi only USA with OTA and had issues with boot looping no matter what I did.. this is what I did to resolve the issue and finally get this rom going. Thanks for the help on the #Xoom channel

I downloaded the HWI69 stock images and put them in my folder where fastboot resides in. They can be downloaded from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049485

Put my Xoom on Fastboot mode

Before typing the following commands make sure you can detect your Xoom in fastboot mode with fastboot devices

If you do not see the Xoom on Fastboot then do not proceed, if you see your xoom type the following commands and wait for them to fully execute

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

This will flash 3.0.1 on your Wifi Xoom skipping the Recovery, so CWM would be preserved.

Make sure your Xoom boots into 3.0.1, once it does, turn it off and go to recovery.

In recovery, flash the BRD 3.1 update and immediately flash the bootloader fix as indicated on BRD thread found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074609

Once you are done flashing the BRD update, do a "wipe data/factory reset" as indicated on BRD 3.1 thread through CWM. (I am on CWM 3.0.2.8 and I had no problems doing it through recovery) and hit reboot.

Once you fully boot up, reboot back into recovery.

In CWM recovery, flash the Tiamat rom. At this point do not "wipe data/factory reset" just flash it on top of the clean BRD 3.1 update. And vuala, you are up and running on the latest hotness. I have had absolutely no reboots, or market problems.
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
It does not format the internal SD card as far as I know, it just wipes user data and apps.
[Xoom Android Development] zeroxg4:
This can be completely avoided by simply following BRDs method of upgrading to 3.1. I too was on 3.1 via the OTA update but followed the instructions to flash 3.1 via BRDs method ( I already had the latest recovery installed and flashed the 3.1 system update followed by the bootlader patch then wiped data from recovery ), as I knew that it would not be a problem. I then booted up, signed in, and rebooted to recovery to flash the ROM. painless.

I am also on an US wifi only xoom fyi.
[Xoom Android Development] keunhuvac:
Just updated this ROM, no wipe need, everything work fine!

Im using MZ600!

I dont care abount 3G because 3G CDMA is unusable in my country!
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
I did give it a try but it seems to break wi-fi, so back to no charge LED.
[Xoom Android Development] faylix:
anyone noticing a bunch of extra battery drain on this rom?
[Xoom Android Development] dro1dfan:
getting reboots on the set up screen

edit: more info-

US wifi-only xoom

Had upgraded to HC3.1 via BRD's method, running latest kernel
[Xoom Android Development] strat_player:
Yeah, I noticed that as well. Seems to drain quite a bit faster than the other ROMS.
[Xoom Android Development] faylix:
Strange right? Considering the changes aren't things that should affect the battery like kernel radio etc. Its significant tho, barely getting hal the life.
[Xoom Android Development] nashwing:
What other ROMS?
[Xoom Android Development] dscribe:
Right!? And, btw, my battery life is just fine, if it is draining faster it is not enough to have caught my attention.
[Xoom Android Development] binfordstool:
Gave me some problems, Wifi xoom that was on 3.1 via the no-wipe abd method that was on here before, tiamat 1.44 prior to this. Bootlooped on the honeycomb animation for about 30 minutes, hard reset (power + volume up), got into fastboot (hold volume down when rebooting) and wiped data/cache there, apps then installed as normal, no issues since then.
[Xoom Android Development] Sierra8561:
People need to read the original post. There are steps to make this work for everyone. If you are stock 3.01 I suggest uprading to 3.1 through brd method. I love this rom. It's worth it.
[Xoom Android Development] Sierra8561:
Also my first boot took ten minutes. After that it was flawless
[Xoom Android Development] shmigao:
Can't be true for Euro 3G models

The 3G files are completely different for European models (CDMA vs. GSM/UMTS/WCDMA)

Thats why there is a separate thread that helps European 3G to upgrade to 3.1 by BRD's method and then apply changes to regain Euro 3G.

There needs to be a seperate ROM for Euro 3G xoom
[Xoom Android Development] nsxz0o7:
OK I upgraded to 3.1 over ota. Rooted and currently running the timat kernel. Do I have to reflash to 3.1 following brds method or can I just flash this rom following OPs instructions... sorry read through entire post and got confused from some posts towards the end...
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
I have been running BRDs 3.1 since it was first released. I flashed this ROM following the instructions in the OP, with zero problems.

However, based on the posts in this thread it sounds like a lot of people coming directly from 3.1 ota are having a lot of problems.

So, I think you'll have to make your own decision.

Good luck.
[Xoom Android Development] binfordstool:
Even with problems, it's a relatively easy fix. This community and android itself make it tremendously easy to CYA when you've done something wrong!
[Xoom Android Development] wayne710:
I have the same issue. However, if I touch the vacant field the data momentarily appears and then a box appears that said the text has been copied.
[Xoom Android Development] dscribe:
Very true. But your statement is only true if you are not one of those people who don't have any business messing with rooting and modifying their devices to begin with because they either just don't really know what they are doing, or can't read and follow instructions. I don't mean to be mean and, yes, I have done boneheaded things a few times in my life for sure. Still, I sit and read these forums and so much of the time I see people create problems for themselves that could just be avoided if people had just carefully read and followed the OP.
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
...or just waited and read as people post about their experience. The people who kill me are the ones who have no knowledge and no desire to gain knowledge yet just rush in to flash things as soon as they are posted.

I know my limitations, thus I know I will be flashing this ROM....but first I will watch and wait so I know just what to expect and how to fix anything that goes wrong.
[Xoom Android Development] Scourge1024:
Are there alternative ways to do a wipe? And have market still working? Like a "fastboot -w" or flashing a clean userdata.img? I know not to do it through CWM.
[Xoom Android Development] Scourge1024:
Nice to see fastboot wipes work.
[Xoom Android Development] crackmulah:
so this bootlooped my wifi device...

am I correct that in order to flash this i should now restore to my Nandroid backup, do a wipe from INSIDE honeycomb, and then reflash the ROM?

also, my tablet / honeycomb seems a bit messed up (the videos app always force closes) and i havent been able to use an external flash drive with it recently :(. so i wouldnt mind going back to a total and complete fresh start. if I were to do this I would like to jump directly to this ROM without having to go through too many other steps. if I were to try to do this could someone please advise me on the best way(s)?

also could we possibly get a full list of changes / tweaks in this rom, in the OP it says there are some more that werent listed. did anyone find any?
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
ROM is good!

After correcting some self-inflicted mayhem resulting from having installed CWM 4.0.0.1 which doesn't recognize the external sdcard (wtf?--Don't do it!), I was happily able to flash the ROM and all seems well!:D

Edit: I do have the issue with Contacts that has already been mentioned, but all else is great!
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
Guys noticing faster battery drain, were you running the stock kernel before flashing this ROM? The OC Tiamat kernel draws more juice.
[Xoom Android Development] Mrperf3ct:
Can someone mirror this. None of the links work 4 me
[Xoom Android Development] strat_player:
No and that's the strange part. Before this ROM I was running Tiamat 1.4.2 1.5Ghz w/ oc GPU and things were great battery wise. Though I haven't done a lot of testing on it via extended use, I'd say this one drains at least 15-20% faster.
[Xoom Android Development] patass:
I had the rom installed for a few hours, and went to reboot. My device just hung at the motorola logo forever, but i could still get into recovery and all that. I wiped, restored my nandroid, then flashed the rom again. It seems fine now. Weird.

Also for those of you who dont care for the CRT animation, just go into display settings and turn animations off.

EDIT - I'm seeing some people with battery issues. I unplugged to do some stuff for a bit last night and ended at 96%. Something like 12-14 hours later I'm at 91%. Seems fine to me.
[Xoom Android Development] crackmulah:
UH OH.

so after bootlooping the first time, i restored to my NANDROID, wiped in honeycomb, then reflashed the rom and I was still bootlooping :(. so i did a wipe from FASTBOOT because thats what I had read above and it seems like it worked for others. NOW IM JUST STUCK ON THE DUAL CORE SCREEN!!!!!!

I NEED TO START FROM SCRATCH I THINK!!!!

someone please help me!!!!! A PM would be greatly appreciated so we can talk back and forth or if you know what i need to do just let me know. if i can get this solved quickly.......i have paypal...and im sure you do too. help!
[Xoom Android Development] Almighty1:
Maybe a wipe is not even needed to have market still working since market breaks even on my Droid 1 and all that needs to be done is clear market data in Manage Applications in Settings, select Market and then clear the data and see if that fixes it.
[Xoom Android Development] davidsos:
Yes I wait and see what the Lab Rats, errr, I mean volunteers run into first before I leap off a possible cliff. :D
[Xoom Android Development] dscribe:
Excellent point.
[Xoom Android Development] Lolento:
Exactly...especially since, I don't see any killer feature that you cannot get already from a rooted 3.1 plus pushing some other stuff found here via adb...
[Xoom Android Development] alex2792:
Installed over my previous BRD rooted rom with no problems,no wipe required on my 3G Xoom. I don't use the 3G so I don't know if it's working.
[Xoom Android Development] MidwestDrummer:
I'm all over this as soon as I get home from work! Thanks to everyone who has put their hard work and effort into creating this ROM!!
[Xoom Android Development] :
I got a good thing going right now so I'm going to hold off on flashing this. I hope some new features get implemented in future releases to make flashing worthwhile. Good job on bring the first ROM out.

I'll wait for v2 or v3.
[Xoom Android Development] alex2792:
I wasn't able to use hulu with the hacked flash and the playback was choppy so I went back to official version and all is good.
[Xoom Android Development] Sodikop:
Coming from stock 3.0.1, upgraded using BRD's 3.1 with latest recovery and OC'd GPU 1.4.4 kernel.

Tried the ROM install without wipe, found that new app installs failed so I did the internal factory reset.

Flashed the new ROM and everything did real well. Played with it for a couple hours and came across a problem with Busybox installer from Jrummy16. This issue has come up before and using the "fix permissions" in CWM always corrected it, but not this time...

After applying the "fixes", rebooted...to be stuck at the Moto "Dual-Core" Logo.

I have yet to try getting back into recovery the volume buttons, that's next on my list when I get a chance.

Just adding my experience with the new "Hotness", thanks again BRD!

Will report reply later when I can play around with it some more.
[Xoom Android Development] andrew53517:
If I wanted to see if the CRT Screen Off Animation worked on my ASUS Transformer (of course rooted and running PRIME v1.4), which file would I have to pull out to give it a shot? Is it the framework.jar file or am I wayyyy off? :o
[Xoom Android Development] headcheese:
finally got it installed on my wifi xoom! thanks to ax0r's instructions on page 23!!
[Xoom Android Development] crackmulah:
This dudes the man

thank you for solving all my issues
[Xoom Android Development] ax0r:
Glad I was able to help you guys out getting this ROM up and running. Hopefully it helps everybody else out that was having issues
[Xoom Android Development] lbp102:
Those "labrats" are just the people too busy to read the instructions.
[Xoom Android Development] konman795:
Is the microphone next to the google search widget supposed to be bright blue?
[Xoom Android Development] crackmulah:
yes im wondering the same

and also , i have checked to make sure all animations are turned on. however i have not seen the CRT screen off animation. not even ONCE! any clues?
[Xoom Android Development] jdale38:
boot is ridiculously fast thanks bigdog
[Xoom Android Development] davidsos:
Sometimes they are the ones with runtime or configuration conditions that were not accounted for in development or testing. Keep in mind that BRD doesn't have the resources that a funded business does. That means, no analysts or QA team with regression test plans and test case plans for new features.
[Xoom Android Development] Jewremy:
Try going portrait, or hitting the notification bar thingy then turning it off.
[Xoom Android Development] Sistum Id:
My internal storage for application is showing -889221120.00b. Anybody have that as well? Has it always been like that?
[Xoom Android Development] Arcos904:
I had never been able to get my xoom to run stable @ 1.7 and after installing

this rom my launcher app would crach as soon as it rebooted and then it would reboot, so i restored, factory wipded in settings, reflashed and booted, it came up fine and i can install apps. but my Home button doesnt work, it does a click animation (flashes) when i press it, but it has no effect, nomatter what screen i am on.

anyone else have this issue yet? any suggestions?

I really didnt need to install this rom, as i pretty much had everything done already that it has, i just enjoy playing with it and flashing the newest stuff :)

I dont usually have any problems, i take care to read all the way through a thread before i try anything.
[Xoom Android Development] Sistema1927:
I have been using this since yesterday, install was a breeze, no wipe required. No biggie to me since my Xoom is wifi, but I have seen the same problem with "Contacts" app that others have described EXCEPT that after playing around in it I now see no contacts at all whereas earlier I could see the contact info when pressing the blank field. This problem remains even after clearing cache and rebooting.
[Xoom Android Development] nory82688:
I have a 3g xoom and I flashed this lol so far everything is great, seems pretty zippy to me. Clean. I have noticed that 3g doesn't work, but I knew it wouldn't because first post states that. But I figured if I wanted 3g back ill just flash the stock 3.1 zip, or if worst comes to worst, flash the sbf. I just wanted to see what the xooms first rom was going to be like, and am definitely happy with it. OCd at 1.4 ghz right now and actually running stable for me. I used to never be able to overclock. Keep up the great work devs. This is just the start now, can't wait.
[Xoom Android Development] joeski27:
did i miss something???

Well, after doing all of my backups and nandroid, I tried flashing the rom in cwr, and I got stuck in the "dual core" bootloop (or at least I think its a bootloop - it keep looping back to recovery every time). And fyi I've been running in the brd version of the 3.1 update, so so much for that being a sure thing.

So then I figured I needed to do a wipe...so I followed brd's instructions and did a factory reset. After that I got back to cwr recovery and tried flashing the rom again, and still I'm stuck at the same "dual core" bootloop. So now I've restored my nandroid until I can figure this out. I have tried reading through the thread for answers but I couldnt figure anything out. Hoping someone has an easy answer or can point out something I missed.:confused:
[Xoom Android Development] armychris28210:
everything is smooth and works great, but when i hook up my 500 gig western digital portable external hd it isnt recognised by xoom. i have the motorola "camera kit", i have installed the mount apk, and kernal for otg. i have a thumb drive that it picks up fine but only in my file explorer. anyone got any ideas or work around on this. i read all the posts and forums on otg/mass storage, but no dice. thanks in advance.
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
Someone posted a contacts fix associated with this ROM... I think it's in general.
[Xoom Android Development] Sistema1927:
Thanks.

Just saw it, but it does away with the battery meter. I think that I will wait.
[Xoom Android Development] nory82688:
One more thing ...has anyone with a 3g xoom (I know we weren't supposed to flash) realized that you can make phone calls with this rom? Lol
[Xoom Android Development] Arcos904:
You have to use a powered usb hub to use and external harddrive that isnt self powered, the xoom doesnt have enough power output to spin a drive.
[Xoom Android Development] Almighty1:
Which hacked flash did you use? BRD's or mines? mines is the official version except the version string is modified to trick hulu into working.
[Xoom Android Development] andr0id23:
Rad news! I really hope the 3g fix comes soon! If not, I suppose ill have to flash anyway just to check it out, but gonna hold off a day or two and see if there is a fix. I like having 3g. Great work, again, BRD and your team.
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
Not true, I can use a 1TB usb powered external hdd just via the usb otg cable.
[Xoom Android Development] ryan562:
were you using any themes? i know flashing a theme modifies framework and doing that will cause bootloops when flashing over to custom roms.
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
OK Guys, 3g should work now.

Grab the 3gfix zip from the original post and flash that.

-- Thanks to maretus and diaa08 in #xoom. Without these guys it wouldn't of been possible to get this fix.

Edit: For those with issues with the contacts, application the 3g fix should fix this as well, but I haven't verified this.
[Xoom Android Development] adamtuba:
Working perfectly! Flashed rom soon after release and haven't had 3G since, but the 3Gfix works perfectly. Just flashed it and rebooted and it worked. Contacts also work fine too. This is on an Australian xoom btw, so all you euro folk should be fine too.

Thanks heaps for the great work!
[Xoom Android Development] Mrperf3ct:
Yup saw that..
[Xoom Android Development] monyozt:
Yup verified now... this rom working on my xoom. Also my 3G connection works without any problems
[Xoom Android Development] andylhchen:
I am also wondering the same question before i flash.

for those with wifi only version.... does the 3g fix actually fix anything else important? or can we apply the fix anyways? any impact on battery life? :confused::confused:
[Xoom Android Development] ed.dark:
Worked OK on talkmobile UK Xoom. I still had to do the fixes for the euroxoom though...

>>>adb remount

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 build.prop /system/build.prop<<<<

It still has the buggy 3g indicator showing 2 bars.

Does your Aussie xoom have this bug or need those fixes?
[Xoom Android Development] Riffer:
Anyone knowing wether this works with 3G on the european models too?
[Xoom Android Development] ed.dark:
I think my post above yours makes that clear....
[Xoom Android Development] dscribe:
I gather that if I have a wifi only Xoom and the first ROM is working fine for me then I should take an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach, correct?
[Xoom Android Development] bnr32jason:
Nevermind. Fixed, everything seems fine now.
[Xoom Android Development] joeski27:
Hey does anybody know how to get back the led-ON-while-charging version of the 1.7ghz kernel? This was working for me before flashing the new rom, but now I have no idea how to fix it in order to re-enable it. :confused:

EDIT: Ok just remembered I had to go back and reflash the boot.img that allowed for the led-ON-while-charging behavior, followed by flashing the 1.4.4 kernel...HOWEVER, now my wifi is broken?!?!?! Not good.
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
Prior to flashing this ROM, I was running BRDs 3.1, with the 1.4.4 kernel. Wifi only US Xoom. I was using USB tethering with my Incredible.

How after flashing ROM 1.0, the USB tethering feature is no longer working.

Edit: My bad, forgot to run the script. It's working fine. Sorry for the false alarm.
[Xoom Android Development] MrGinger:
Enjoying the first rom. Great work guys.

Just wondering if everyone else's is doing the same as mine?

Turn your Xoom so 'Motorola' writing is upside down then turn off the screen. You get a nice graphical effect where the screen crunches quickly to a thin white line then in to a dot like an old crt TV turning off. Turn it right side up and try again and the screen just turns off. No effects... what's up with that?
[Xoom Android Development] DeadRinga:
Works! You guys rock!
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
I've been meaning to ask you if your drive requires less power to run it. Mine is smaller but a few years old and I need a powered hub. I'd get a newer drive if it would work. Also, is it USB 3?
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Great job solarnz maretus and diaa08! I know Margaritaville will be more fun when NOT ON IRC AT THE SAME TIME!!! Now we can all start #winning for realz now. Awesome job guys.
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
The xoom outputs about 600 ma...it powers my 1 tb seagate usb 2 just fine.

[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
There are some bugs in the CRT animation.
[Xoom Android Development] Jboxen:
I appologise if this has already been asked... How can I enable SMS, is it something that needs to be done via SIP? Thanks in advance.
[Xoom Android Development] strat_player:
Any reason your not doing wifi tethering? I havent tried the USB tethering but I tether my xoom and Incredible all the time using the "wireless tether" app from the market place. Just tested with Team Tiamat and it still works perfectly.
[Xoom Android Development] dadoc04:
hahahaha... yes mine is like that too. Im sure BRD and crew is aware and will be working on the fix in the next few releases.

Cant wait to see whats in store
[Xoom Android Development] leglerreddin:
a few problems

I have a subscription to jetflicks so I can watch my TV shows, but since I installed this rom I haven't been able to view the mobile website, with any browser, which I need to be on to watch the things, so if there is any way to fix this, or reinstall the stock build again until further notice, it would be much appreciated.
[Xoom Android Development] jdale38:
Might be related to the flashed rom but I'm having some issues trying to connect to openfeint...anyone else having this issue??
[Xoom Android Development] crackmulah:
ok so something really weird happend

shortly after i downloaded superuser elite (which apparently does nothing....), i seem to have lost root permission?!

i cannot control SetCPU it is in 'read only' mode! I cannot fix permissions which seems to be the problem!! I cant even use quickboot!!!! this is so strange considering im running this rom and it was running perfectly!!

anyone know what i need to do?
