Tmobile almost never asks me if I'm rooted. It's really not a big deal. If anything limit to one software related exchange if you are rooted or something.

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
What do you have to do to actually "brick" your phone? I mean, it seems like it would be very difficult to accomplish. I starting learning how to root and flash roms about 1 month ago. I learned everything from reading these forums and trying out what I learned, hands-on. I've probably flashed a rom every single day for the past month...add various kernals, experimenting with pushing apks and fonts through adb, editing build.prop, etc...I mean, if there's something that's possible to customize, I look for a way to do it. And my phone still ticks. The worst trouble I've had, was going back and rerooting and reflashing recovery via nvflash...and I did that just because I wanted the experience of doing it myself. And I even bookmarked a page instructing me how to repartition, if it ever comes down to it. Other than actual hardware damage (like the internal memory card just crapping out), what experiences do you guys have with true "bricking" of phones?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] booma428:
exactly...im in the same boat. i am new to android, i simply read and watched the tutorials on root process and roms and tadaaaa!! rooting has come a long way since the days of the G1
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I bricked a few G2 phones on purpose. All because of hardware issues and I didn't wanna go thru the hassle of unrooting lol. It's not very hard it's just typing a code in terminal emulator and bam insta brick.

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
What is the code, out of curiosity?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I know its in the g2 general thread. If you searched my user name in that section with the word brick it should come up I recall posting a reply in that thread.

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyv01:
I am sorta new at this, but thought I had read enough to know what I am doing. I used xHausx's Auto_Root 2.4 to root my EVO on 3.70. All went well.

When I try to flash xHausx's 4.24 update, it visually seems to flash correct in AmonRA recovery. Yet when I reboot it goes straight into recovery again.

These are the steps I took. Please tell me where I am going wrong.

1) downloaded odex update of 4.24 from the link provided in xHausx's thread.

2) restarted into recovery.

3) wiped everything.

4) flashed downloaded zip from card.

5) rebooted phone.

I know using autoroot put Sprint lover's Rom on my phone, so that is why I wiped everything. I even tried flashing it via hboot/fastboot. Also tried flashing back to stock 3.70 Rom and repeating the same steps listed above. Always ending with the same result. Phone will only boot into recovery.

Any help in what I am doing wrong here is greatly Appreciated.

anyone shared this yet?

Ironically I couldn't get the website working on my xoom

http://www.motorolaxoompromotion.co.uk
[Xoom General] GodEater:
That's because, if your signature is to be believed, you're running a US rom on your Xoom, and that has a different UAString to the stock UK image.

I've been trying to find someone on the boards who has the stock UK image who'll share the UAString - but either everyone is already on the US image, or they're not willing to share.

Shame :(
[Xoom General] jscsltd:
I've got a stock 3.01 UK wifi.

How can I help?

[Xoom General] GodEater:
Visit somewhere like whatsmyuseragent.com on your Xoom, and post back with the entire User Agent String it tells you.

(Note, because this panicked someone else I asked earlier, we do not want or need your IP address, which the site also tells you!)
[Xoom General] ratsalad:
Running stock except for root.

my User agent string is:

[Xoom General] GodEater:
Yep - got the same string off a friend, and can confirm that works on the promotions site.

Use something like the firefox extension "User Agent Switcher" to let your desktop pretend to be your Xoom, and away you go.
[Xoom General] patass:
how do you do that? I pasted the above UA into that extension and it doesnt do anything.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
got it working on firefox with the UA switcher - but not on chrome.

shame I dont have my serial number to try.

same here - i got mine on day one - is it worth even trying to get the free keyboard?

what grinds on me more is I just bought the UK keyboard (which runs as a US language) for £50 too
[Xoom General] yoshitweaky:
I just posted in the other thread, I had my xoom on pre order from march. filled in the form using FF browser with modified string. Didn't realize there was purchase conditions on it until I had submitted.

I took a picture of my PDF pre order receipt and submitted it, Had an email the next day, yesterday to say it had been dispatched.

I missed the delivery today but am picking it up from the local depot tomorrow, so yea, ignore what it says and apply anyway

On my wifi Xoom its on a sticker inside the SD card part check there.

Why didn't you keep the box? Contact Motorola custom support maybe another way to find it.

Sent from my Phone
[Xoom General] iammodo:
Okay try

via ADB (assuming you have it installed) connect Xoom to PC at pc

command prompt: adb shell at prompt on xoom: getprop ro.serialno

Via Google. Also on Motorola its a MSN number not serial.

[Xoom General] Lothaen:
mouse won't work till 3.1
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
sent mine in too - see what happens - got mine in march too

it was on the plastic cover on the back of the xoom - stupid place to put it (that and the box) - who keeps that? it should be on the xoom itself imo - or in about where you go to serial - would have thought it'd be that! :)
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
I put the plastic cover off the back of the XOOM in the box... I thought it was silly at the time, that the serial was on the back of the sticker and not the XOOM.

As for the box, I do have it ... somewhere, I'm in the middle of moving house to start a new job so it could be weeks before i find the box.
[Xoom General] ukc101:
I have an M0 number but it keeps saying invalid serial number.

Its 10 characters long on the front of the box with ATO item, and imie? !?
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
I actually did the same - I left the back plastic cover on for a bit as I'd already sent one back due to a faulty screen - stuck it in the box in the end as it had some info on it and I just wanted to keep it 'just in case' I needed it for something - turns out I did.

M1XXXXXXXX (wifi)

M0XXXXXXXX (3g)

oh it needs to be all in CAPS i think I had the same problem with mine saying invalid as I typed it all in lower case first.

Got my Xoom on pre order way back in March from Dixons but I've applied. I saved an HTML version of my online order page from my Dixons account and then altered the dates in Frontpage to July. Snapped a photo of it on my Xoom and sent it off. Will see what happens.
[Xoom General] thebomber:
well they replied to me saying i bought in july but not from a store in uk, which is stupid, nothing is mentioned like this, if anyone could provide a copy of his recipt and i will add the date and serial number from mine, cause the website doesnt accept my number
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
that's sad - I kinda wished I had a US keyboard just so it didnt mess with my head so much :)

hoping though instead they just fix it in the next update

my receipt didnt even say 'xoom' it just had a strange:

next to the part number...

that's slightly dodgy - but i hardly think they'll check with dixons..
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
Moto got back and said my receipt is no good and I need to send them a receipt with July date.

Maybe the other Guy got away with it cause it was 7th of some month and they read it like an American.
[Xoom General] Lakota:
More than slightly dodgy. :)

I think I might have been rumbled somehow as I sent that off on Friday last week and so far haven't heard a peep from them after the email confirming they had received my request.
[Xoom General] thebomber:
well can you provide me with it and i will cut my part number and paste it on yours, cause they replied to me saying cause i didnt buy it from a store in ireland or uk im not eligable where the rules state nothing like that,
[Xoom General] yoshitweaky:
Guess I was just lucky then. Receipt clearly showed 18th march 2011 that's how its written on the receipt.

I took a picture of the PDF I got emailed when I pre ordered from Dixon's.

Can't see that they check the store as Dixon's wasn't even an option on the web form, so I selected curry's.

How long between getting the email saying you can have one and actually getting it? Anyone please?

Well my bit of receipt amending seems to have done the trick. I got an email this afternoon saying my order had been dispatched by UPS next day delivery. As I'm on holiday and not home for a week I can't verify it. I've asked my Dad to keep an eye out for it as he works at the local depot. I'll keep an eye on the tracking number.
[Xoom General] cpam:
I should get it tomorrow. If ups and moto email r ok!

My story

Pre ordered my Xoom on the 14th of march ( so my pop has that date)

Requested my free keyboard on the 15th of July

I got no response from then after the first email saying "Thank you for registering for the Motorola XOOM™ Free Wireless Keyboard and Mouse promotion "

On the 26th I sent this email to support@brightpoint.com

Hello

I submitted a request for a free keyboard and mouse and I have not heard anything about it?

Just wanted to check that it was processed.

Thank you in advance.

Sent from my Phone
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
atrix was the phone that could dock as a laptop

so keyboard and mouse and monitor would be useful

i did think it strange they would send a bluetooth mouse when 3.0.1 didnt support bt mice...?
[Xoom General] iammodo:
I know the atrix has the laptop dock thing. But if you had a large text to send on the go would you really whip out a fullsized keyboard in the street its just crazy.

And yes I thought it was odd UK people can get the mouse but not use it.

[Xoom General] silent_killa:
Recieved mine this morning. It too says for motorola atrix on the packaging but works with the xoom just fine. Is there a significant difference in the package for atrix and xoom then?

Im using the 3.2 image for the US atm so the mouse works ok too, will be flashing back to 3.1 UK though when they release it early august since the BT keyboard only inputs in US layout (known android issue) and I cant recieve region specific apps unless I root and use an app to change that doesnt last on reboot.

Reply said YES.

Received it this morning and as per other members, keyboard works but mouse does not.

Tryed it with my laptop and mouse is ok, so as has been said by other people it must be 3.01 that is causing the problem.

Very pleased. But still want update. :) :)

what what? how are you setting it up with the uk location? does it recognise shift+2 as @ or "?

Nothing probably apart from the word ATRIX :) Just noticed and thought it was amusing is all.

maybe they didnt sell as many atrix as they thought!

Android bug log seemed to suggest some engineer was working on non-us standard keyboard as someone wanted international support and also dvorak layout - I was hoping it'd be in 3.2 :(

hoping instead that someone can rip the layouts out of UK 3.1 when it comes out and some how get it into 3.2

Maybe its my being very polite in my email or maybe its just the luck of the draw as to who is on duty at the time your email arrives.

But since my date of purchase pre-dates yours I would have another go at emailing them again.

Thought I had missed out on this deal a few weeks a go. Just on the off chance I rechecked this thread 2 days a go...

I got my Xoom on the 26th of June. Saw that they extended it for early adopters too. Filled my details and got approved. Glad I never bought them seperately now was thinking about it as I have a Motorola Atrix too.

I bought my Xoom from Best Buy UK in Rotherham.

Best Buy UK is not one of the options when you select where you bought your Xoom from. If anyone else has that issue then just select Amazon.co.uk and in the Store location box enter Best Buy UK in there. worked fine for me.

I also used the UA switcher on Firefox as my Xoom is US 3.2.

Well chuffed lol
