I don't think anyone's written something like that yet. In theory it could be done.

There are some relatively cheap bluetooth speakerphones out there that would do what you're after -- Amazon has some for around $30, and since you're not talking about using it in a car, a cheap one will probably work just fine.

Dear Fellow Xoom Users,

I have a 32 GB, 3.1 From Factory, 3G Xoom. It is a MZ601 which was bought on a trip to Hong Kong.

It all worked fine untill I succumbed to the bug most of us have and decided to start modding, hacking and tinkering with my Xoom. There is something about the rush of possibly destroying an almost 800 Dollar tablet that cant be matched ;)

I flased the Tiamat 2.0.1 rom and The Xoom Zone one. It all looked good and worked flawlessly. I tried messing with the stock one and creating a custom rom and kernel of my own. I am slowly getting there,I would get to a point where I messed it up, I would use fastboot to get myself back to stock ( 3.0.1 ) with files sourced from;

developer.motorola.com/xoomsoftware

I used the international ROM software, as I didnt know which version of the MZ601 I had coming from Hong Kong. The files posted on motorola funny enough take me to 3.0.1 rather than the stock 3.1 I had out of the box, but a few minutes later, 3.1 comes OTA.

I was checking the 'About Tablet' and noticed something weird with my tablet, it is showing 4GB total space, a little odd for a 32GB tablet no?? (See Pic)

What do you guys think...am I just high again and seeing the wrong thing or do you know what the problem is?? When I first got the tablet I loaded about 20GB worth of books, music and videos on it....so i DO REMEMBER it having 32GB!!!

Regards,

Joshua

something wrong. my is 28.32GB:D, maybe flash wrong?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeren:
Well you are not wrong there, something is DEFINATELY wrong!! I have probably written something to its memory causing it to now show only 4GB but I was just wondering if anyone would know what.how why etc saving me the time from exploring the issue in hours of Ubuntu terminal command line!!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlx600d:
Maybe old clockwork recovery file and it backed up the whole system image? Make sure u have the latest recovery installed
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeren:
I appreciate your reply!!

Yes I do have the latest CWM Recovery from

THIS THREAD

so I assume that it is the optimal one to use.

Also, something to note, the above image is from STOCK. To get back to stock, instructions were followed from, developer.motorola.com/xoomsoftware.

4GB is Hilarous, and not matter what I flash, full stock, xoom zone, Tiamat....they all show the EXACT same about screen indicating I have 4GB....

Silly Tablet...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cranvis:
You said that you bought this on a trip to Hong Kong. Did you buy it IN Hong Kong or in a store that you can return the device to?

I noticed that you said in your post that you bought if from the factory... But Where?

Reasons I ask --

If bought in Hong Kong, you might have gotten a knock off version of the Xoom.

If bought down the street at a store you can go back to, I would say reflash it with Stock and take it back and demand a refund, repair, or replace (the three R's heh...)

You could have also flashed the device with a bad sector that is suppose to display the size of the internal memory... Keep us up to date on this and I hope all goes well for you... just remember the 3 R's... helped me in many situations...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeren:
Bought it IN Hong Kong, from a rather reputable store. If it is a knock off, it is a really good one!! It had everything it should, right down to the stickers. Not a single bit of engrish either. It truly has me baffled, I think it was a poor write which in turn messed up a memory sector as I CLEARLY remember putting on 20 gigs of data before I started messing with custom roms. I shall persevere a tad more and see what I can find.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaclef:
Hey Guys - This may sound kinda funny but I have the exact same problem. When i got the tab, it showed the whole 32GB, but after tinkering with it, and after using Tiamat's rom (no blame game here), it shows exactly 4.11GB and the startup screen is gone from a breathing "M" logo to a custom hexagon flash...

HELP!.. Is ther anyway, I can re-partition the internal storage thru fastboot?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeren:
EXACTLY my problemmo my man!!! Good to know I am not the only one.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cranvis:
I wonder if you are going to need to completely re-flash everything to stock, meaning that you would need to wipe everything off the internal SDD. Or maybe the rom was slightly corrupted though download? I would suggest looking into maybe going and seeing how to wipe the full SDD and reformat, partition, and start with a clean Stock Rom? That is the only way that I can see this getting fixed unfortunately... you might have had a weird switch where the OS is on the 28gbs that is free and the 4gbs that are for the OS to be stored as is the internal... (is this even possible?! I have had some weird stuff happen with computers where i have made a 1tb look like a 2 gig hdd... but I'm just saying... it is a possibility and maybe a point in the right direction?)

I would also like to note to Aeren, I was not meaning to say that you did buy a knockoff, I just now there are some out there of many of the tablets... so it was a thought process and I was just playing devils advocate on what could be the troubles... and wanted to make sure it wasn't :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaclef:
Right.. and how would one go about doing that? - i.e., wiping the SDD (truly).. I mean its not like we can plug it into windows and startup partition magic. There has to be a way to actually wipe the entire internal storage and bring it back to factory.

At this point i'd like to say - HELP!..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeren:
I, obviously, am curious as to whether I can reformat/partition the internal SSD of my Xoom. I have looked for it in Disk Manager and GParted on Ubuntu to no luck,I am guessing it is hidden for a reason.

I was wondering if anyone had any sort of advice, short of returning it ;) , as to how I may access the 'drive' inside of the xoom so I could partition/format it/look at it/investigate/LOSE MY MIND!!

I guess we could just get a rather large microSD to compensate. :S
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cranvis:
I will look into this when i get back to my computer... but I am not quite sure... you might be able to do something by looking up how people have formatted their iphones and put android on them, or partitioned the ssd to be allowed to place a dual boot and multiboot os on the system. there have also been people that have placed ubuntu on the rooted systems to run in the back ground allowing people to do a 12.0.0.1 vnc into the os. Looking at all these and seeing how they were able to create these is worth a shot. Another way that could be able to help it move along, is maybe get a terminal emulator and run commands through it and see if there is a way to activate certain command lines... but a novice (not saying you are, just warning is all) should not try this because you can easily brick your tablet...

Also speaking of which... maybe looking at how bricking tablets are fixed might help too? I am sorry taht I can't help any more then suggest at this current moment, I am not at home with my computer to be able to look at links quickly... hurraay mobile browsers haha....

I hope I pointed you into a good direction, I will check back as soon as I can! Good luck!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritter_xoom:
Hi,

I've exactly the same problem!.

Bought an MZ601 last monday in HK at a big chain with different stores. As the build installed has no spanish language neither spanish keyboard input, I downloaded and fastbooted the EU version from Motorola developers zone.

There is a glitch when flashing userdata.img. The tablet says image file si bigger that partition, so it cannot load it.

Finally, everything seems to be ok, except the memory (in my case is 4,11 Gb!).

I spent lot of time doing different tests and trying with diferent versions. Allways the same result.

My guess is that those two things shall be related (did you experienced also trouble when flashing userdata.img?). As the tablet I bought was brand installed allready in 3.1 and I'm flashing 3.0, maybe partitions have been already shrinked and the old file does not fit.

Anyway, I will keep in contact and hope to find a fix.

Regards
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeren:
Sounds pretty much EXACTLY what happened to me. Also same thing happened to another user in this thread after flashing Tiamat. I am also not playing a blame game, but I would like to suggest that there is possibly something unique with our HK xooms?? Mine was sourced direct from a genuine Motorola source, so I know its not a case of fakes but maybe the Chinese/hk xoom is different in some way....damn communism. Could there maybe be differences in algorithms, encryption etc due to their restrictiveness in china??

I am using SSH and investigating other methods of getting into the 'drive' so will keep updated,.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritter_xoom:
I don't think this problem deals with encryption or so.

As far as I remember, the stock HK version (build H.6.1-17-CN-40) had more features that the actual 3.1 OTA updated. Specially I connected an USB pen and it directly readed it!.

So, what I think is that Moto just released a more avanced version in HK. As it is factory loaded directly in 3.1, probably the size of mtdblock5 has been adjusted to fit with this new release and that's the reason because it cannot load userdata from the downloadable 3.0's from the moto site. I'm not slilled in android but surely this userdata has information used by the system to map memory or to handle storage.

So, I will continue to look for an image that fits, or looking the way to adjust the partition sizes.

Hope a lote we can find a fix for this. I hope this exactli 28 Gb!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeren:
I think you could be right!! It also seems out HK/CN xooms are the only ones without an image on the dev motor site, :-( I am trying to find stock images for our xooms to se if that was the issue....seems as though we had the same thought.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaclef:
Right, so nothing?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaclef:
Right ladies, its is true I got mine from the Motowprd in HK now i'm in Kuwait and been mucking about with the xoom. Anyway, turns out you "can" mount the darn thing in buntu and win7 but whats the point?, it still shows 4.11 GB.

So unless we get a tool command line or not, to partition the drive and format it in the right filesystem, we are - how do i put it?....****ED!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuzzsoft:
The same problem

I met the same problem. There's something wrong with HK-version MZ601. After rooted , internal memory became 4.2G instead of 28G.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeren:
Yet ANOTHER user having this problem!!!

I would be interested to know why it is our HK/CN Xooms are having this problem!!

The fact that it has happened multiple times after flashing custom roms to these devices tells me that it must be something unique to the HK Xoom.

Now if we can only get a stock HK Image!!! Any suggestions??

Also we need to identify what it is about these xooms that makes them show 4GB after flashing.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritter_xoom:
Cuzzsoft, welcome the club!

After some research, I think now:

1) Kernel for tablets distribuited in HK/Taiwan is definitvely different from others.

2) This build needs a different nand partitions structure. This is the reason why official UE userdata.img does not fit in the partitions tablet.

3) Probably this reorganisation of the tablet's partitions structure is the origin of all this mess.

4) Probably solutions:

a) Finding the correct HK/TW original images. After hard time googeling it seems difficult. The only thing I've got is an "unnoficial HK image for the MZ604". I've tested on mine, but it does even start (also maybe because mine is an MZ601).

b) Wait for Moto if one day they decide to publish this build.

c) Finding a good samaritan tha has a HK/TW MZ601 and des a nadroid backup for us!

d) Modify the memory structure of the tablet to make it as the rest: Has to be done via fastboot oem parameters (hidden parameters of fastboot) and adb shell under special environement. It seems that needs high skills and there is also a lack of information abot the moto config's. It seems me the fast way to definitively brick the tablet.

For the moment I will continue with an external SD looking for one of the 3 first options.

Hope somebody will fiind!

By the way, Cuzzsoft, you just rooted or also flashed a different image?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwizardtx:
I would completely reflash all stock images from Motorola including boot recovery etc.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritter_xoom:
@cwizardtx , thanks for the suggestion but it makes no difference when reloading. I've tested all the different distribuitions.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeren:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaclef:
Psst.. guys, you think its some kinda conspiracy going around HK Motorola Xooms? I mean they're known to create some of the best fakes in the industry - I say the money we've saved buying from HK was cause of the SSD con.

Think about it [twilight zone soundtrack]...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarnz:
Interesting.... Looks like they have partitioned the userdata separately to the data on /sdcard.

On your rooted device, could you please do

mount -o rw,remount /
mkdir /mnt/internal2
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p10 /mnt/internal2

Then check if you are able to view any files, and write to files + create directories in the new mount.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritter_xoom:
Many thanks Solarnz for your directions. I've followed and have now some amazing news.

First of all, I had to root my tablet. As after some failed attempts, Igot back to HC3.01 and thet I rooted.

I've given rw to the filesystem, created internal2 and then I mounted. That's the result:

df

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize

/dev 359M 32K 359M 4096

/mnt/asec 359M 0K 359M 4096

/mnt/obb 359M 0K 359M 4096

/system 251M 205M 46M 4096

/data 4G 91M 4G 2048

/cache 163M 8M 155M 2048

/pds 1M 108K 1M 2048

/mnt/sdcard 4G 91M 4G 2048

/mnt/internal2 24G 7G 17G 4096

The amazing thing is that not only the 24 Gb in internal2 are now available, but the information (some movie and files I've copied before first flashing) is still there available. Also external2 has inside all the tree (Movies, DCIM, etc..) as it had before. I think that's normal just because the p10 partition was isolated an nobody touched.

I've copied some 5 Gb files using ADB into this external2 with no problem at all.

After that I've tryed to umount sd/card, external2 and remount sdcard over the p10 partition just to gain access to it but with no success. I think I do not use the right parameters.

Besides that, I've tryed to do an OTA upgrade to 3.1 just to see external2 and the ext SD, but this does not work from 3.01 for my rooted system.

Somepart I think what this HK/TWN version made was just mounting partitions different and maybe make use of a virtual volume. If I can figure out how to mount and writte it into a boot mounting procedure, that should do!.

I feel the solution is near, but still some more work is needed.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeren:
Upon running cat /proc/partitions i get;

259 8 3872256 mmcblk1

259 9 3868149 mmcblk1p1

So structured a little bit different. I have rooted Tiamat hammerhead if that makes a difference.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritter_xoom:
I finally rooted on 3.1. and mounted the internal2 as pointed by Solarnz.

At this point I can view this internal2 with its 26 Gb, and I can copy files & create directories on it using linux commands. I can also view from 'Root Explorer'

The odds is that I cannot access that from the tablet 'memory manager' or 'Gallery'. Also when rebooting, the mount is lost, so has to be manually remounted.

So, maybe what rests is finding the right mounting procedure, and writting it at fstab...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaclef:
Wow.. thx solarnz. Finally found the missing space!.. but here's a thing. Is there anyway you can spot that original HK image so that everyone can sleep at 2:00AM alleast?

Much respect!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarnz:
Haha, no I can't provide the original HK images.

So now that we have determined that we can still read and write to this partition, I need some feedback with regrads to our Rom.

In the Tiamat rom, would you rather :

The whole userdata partition be the new partition. ( i.e you would lose 4GB of storage)

or having the 4GB partition used for the internal storage (for applications etc) and having the 26GB partition used for /sdcard

Personally having the second option would be better, as this would require less modification to the rom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaclef:
Hey if the shoe fits.... I'd want option 2...

Peace!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaclef:
Oh yeah and another effing thing i see on the HK effing roms - everytime you reboot the piece keeps switching between -MZ600 CDMA and MZ602 CDMA, LTE... I mean - "wtf" would be an understatement..

Its like waking up in the morning and seeing that your girlfriend's bra size changing from a "C" to "D"...every morning!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeren:
I also vote for the second option.

I would just like to ask/point out does my differing partition table require a different mod or is it a result of me having Tiamt on there?? I just ask as when you compare my and ritters results of issuing the cat /proc/partitions command we both got vastly different results, but from recollection he was running rooted/stock 3.1 or3.0.1 i believe.....
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarnz:
The different partition tables would of come out of the factory like that. Installing a kernel or rom would not of changed the partition table.

The only explanation I can think of is that for some reason some (or all) of the Hong Kong xooms come with a different partition layout to every other xoom.

However this is also interesting as Motorola would have to maintain another release of software in order to handle this change in the partition table.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaclef:
No solarnz, how do I make that "/mnt/internal2" stick?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aeren:
Seriously......I have been told off for buying out of my own domestic market, I really should start listening to the nagbit/wife
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritter_xoom:
You need to be rooted,

Then you can use ADB (you say before usb debug on), and write adb shell and you type what Solarnz wrote at #28

Another way is installing terminal emulator from the market, you type su to gain privileges and then the lines from #28.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarnz:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritter_xoom:
Gentelmen,

Meanwhile our Tiamat friends will release a new version, I did a little research and found a way to fix a turnaround fix. Basically, mounting internal2 at bout time.

what I did:

1) Now i'm Tiamat 2.1 Hammerhead :)

2) mkdir /data/opt

3) create at /etc/init.d/ a file named 20userinit with the following:

#

#Ejecutar /data/opt/userinit.sh

#

if [ -e /data/opt/userinit.sh ];

then

log -p -i -t userinit "Executing /data/opt/userinit.sh";

busybox chmod +x /data/opt/userinit.sh;

logwrapper /system/bin/sh /data/opt/userinit.sh;

setprop cm.userinit.active 1;

fi;

4) Create at /data/opt/ a file userinit.sh with the script Solarnz pointed:

mount -o rw,remount /

mkdir /mnt/internal2

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p10 /mnt/internal2

That's all.

Now, at boot time I have allways /mnt/internal2 . I handle that from ES explorer and video players, I can interchange with dropbox,...

Not perfect, but anyway much better that some weeks ago!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarnz:
Sorry it took a few more days.... (Deus Ex Human Revolution got in the way :o)

Anyway, here is an update for Hammerhead. This will flash back the stockGPU kernel as well, but you are welcome to flash another kernel afterwards.

I would also reccomend clearing out your /sdcard directory before you flash this, as this will be mounting your SDC partition over the top of that directory.
