[Acer Iconia A500] sentro:
Hello,

I have experiencing the same issue. I called netfilx and they basically washed their hands and they reffered me to ACER (I have an Acer Iconia A500 tablet).

Acer said that this is the first time they heard about this issue and they are going to investigate further but since there are not many eports of it I am not sure what's goin to happen.

My solution at this point was to remove v1.6.0 and reinstall theolder version 1.5.2

Netflix is now working fine.

I found the file n152.apk at filesonic.com
[Acer Iconia A500] rwphwp:
Thanks for the heads up. I'll give 1.5.2 a try. I've already tried the patched version (from before netflix was available on the market) but I was prompted to update the app and prevented from signing in.

Incidentally, though I haven't watched much since doing it, I changed the video quality in my netflix account settings to "better" and haven't had the screen issue yet (I also wiped the app data afterward).

I had already wiped many times before trying to fix the issue, and the video quality change was to limit data use.
[Acer Iconia A500] HideyoshiJP:
I've noticed this as well. I've seen reports of this happening on Transformers, Xooms and the Sony Tablet S in the Market app reviews. This is probably an issue with Honeycomb tablets in general. One thing I've noticed is that if I flip the rotation lock switch or adjust the volume, the video returns to normal (just a tip so you don't have to restart the video or anything).
[Acer Iconia A500] Achristocat:
I have that issue too...

Yup. Me too.

It will be going along fine, a scene will change and either:

1) seems like I only see 3/4 of the picture with the rest off screen

2) bottom third de rezzes / turns into scan lines and mush

..and a pause will reset it back to normal.

I too will try a previous version...We'll see what happens!
[Acer Iconia A500] wokker666:
I've been having this issue since they released the update to 1.6.0 as well.

This morning I put in a call to Netflix to address this issue and another on WP7, the lady on the phone said she would report everything to R&D, and sounded rather happy that someone was reporting issues.

Hopefully all it takes is a few keystrokes and we will all have yet another update!
[Acer Iconia A500] rwphwp:
That's great, wokker. I did the same a few days back; maybe we'll get a fix soon. The issue happened on my brother's stock a500 as well as on my rooted and OC'd a500, so it does seem to be something that could be addressed on their end. I haven't reverted yet (no time since school is back in), but has anyone else had luck with v1.5.2?
[Acer Iconia A500] ghostgull:
possible fix that worked for me.

I had the same issue, thought it might be when the screen tries to time out so I set the Screen Time out to never and it seems to have stopped the problem.

Is it the same build as the latest wifi leak, i am on that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TSGM:
One question I have is whether the GPS locking issues are still prevalent in this most recent update. As far as I'm aware, even the latest wifi leak has issues with GPS lock-on. There's a patch somewhere in the development forum, but from some replies, the patch does not fix the issue. I was sort of hoping that the official release by HTC would have that fixed.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microi:
A problem currently exists with newer Xooms when attempts are made to flash ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0 (R4c) (CMW) into the Recovery partition. This issue has been mentioned in several threads with no resolution to date.

This is what the problem seems to be:

- Fact: There was no problem flashing ClockWorkMod (CWM) to older (earlier versions than 3.2.1).

- Fact: The problem occurred with attempts to flash later versions of Android, e.g., 3.2.1 following update via OTA.

- Fact: The OTA has an incompatibility with CWM. Joe Ferreira identified the problem as one of the following files being present that will prevent CWM from working:

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

- Fact: The proposed fix involves reverting to an earlier version, i.e., 3.0 and updating to 3.2.1 via OTA. This fix is yet unproven.

- Fact: Owners of newer Xooms are being prevented from achieving root because of this problem (including myself)

To summarize:

1) Recent OTAs which bring the Xoom to 3.2.1 are incompatible with the ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0 (R4c) image (CWM)

2) Once flashed CWM is inaccessible.

This is the problem that needs to be resolved.

Note: Epic118 has suggested reverting to 3.0; updating via OTA to 3.2.1; and rerunning Xoot. I don't understand this since attempting to flash CWM on 3.2.1 updated via OTA will repeat the same issue. Perhaps EPIC118 can provide clarification.

Does anyone have a solution/fix to this problem?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
How about reverting to stock 3.0.1, then OTA updating to 3.2 and then rooting/flashing recovery and custom rom/kernel. I would think the issue is with the 3.2.1 OTA update itself.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
I'm not completely sure I understand but if u can try this,

Download the universal root update zip and put it on your xoom

Flash clockwork through fastboot and then reboot into recovery, don't let it boot or the install recovery.sh will delete clockwork!

Flash the universal root.zip and boot up and use a root file manager to delete those two file and clockwork should stick through a reboot
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bandit197:
Hi

I have a UK Xoom and I am interested in putting a custom ICS on it. I have read through all of the pages of the excellent guide to unlocking and rooting etc started by okantomi. Fair play to all involved, its a great source of information.

My Xoom is showing 3.2 as the current version. When I bought it a few months ago it had 3.0 installed. I updated OTA to 3.1 and more recently to 3.2. I then got a small update a few weeks back but Android version is still showing as 3.2. Am I good to go ahead?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I'm not sure what update (after the 3.2 update) added the security "fix" that seems to cause the problem, but you might as well try to root. If it doesn't work, at least you have a potential work-around, but hopefully it will be fine.

Good luck.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bandit197:
Cheers, I went ahead with it and it worked out no problems, unlocked, rooted and I can access recovery. Ill post the details in the guide thread to keep everything in the one place.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microi:
Superchilpil,

Thank you for your reply.

There are a few points I don't fully understand.

You indicate,

1) Should I reboot into recovery using fastboot or simply reboot the Xoom using "Vol+ and Power"?

2) You indicate, "Don't let it boot". I don't understand; if I initiate a 'reboot', it reboots. How can I prevent it from rebooting???

This is the code I will use to flash Clockwork:

What code should I use to effect your suggested approach?

One last question. The objective of this question is to understand if I can simply flash the "Universal Root Update Zip" to obtain root using the stock Recovery Mode, then install ClockworkMod Recovery; then remove one or the other of two problematic security files which are currently causing a problem. This will theoretically resolve the "Green Bot of !" issue Xoom users with 3.2.1 are currently experiencing.

After unlocking the bootloader, is it possible to:

1) Flash Update.zip (from the MicroSD card) using the stock Recovery Mode

2) Flash ClockworkMod Recovery through fastboot

3) Obtain root from this procedure

Thank you in advance.

Microi
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
by not letting it boot I mean don't let it boot into the rom, and both of those methods u stated will work just fine to reboot

And flash it using whatever method you desire, but I forgot to mention that you may need to flash clockwork again after you boot and delete those files because the install recovery.sh obviously flashes the stock recovery and the point of my method is to keep a custom recovery on your device

I know for a fact that the stock recovery mode won't flash anything you will find here in the forums that I know of
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teameos:
Correct, the stock recovery requires that the zip files be signed with keys that only the manufacturers have access to. This is the whole reason why we have to flash a third party recovery to begin with.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HD2wally:
I'm getting more and more confused the more times I read this.!!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willysp:
I was HC stock, locked, unrooted, had accepted all OTA's - and therefore had the problem with the 2 files mentioned in the OP. I updated to ICS just fine. In order to root, I did the following (the differences from the standard instructions are

underlined

)

unlock

flash recovery

boot into recovery

root

then while still in CWM, no reboot, but instead:

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

reboot with CWM

Only had to flash CWM once.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Thanks. This makes a lot of sense. I would like to edit my rooting guide and give this procedure as the preferred approach. Is there anything you would want to add to it?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
Just as a Fyi, these files are on all Android os, not something new. You can also flash an insecure boot image, and it will stop these from running.

adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willysp:
Hi,

First - thanks for your rooting guide - I used it with the exception of my underlined steps which were a synthesis of what I saw in a few other places.

Nothing to add - except perhaps really emphasize to keep the USB cable connected, and after rooting, do not reboot, stay in CWM, and use adb to run the 3 commands. You wrote a very detailed guide, so know you'll do a great job writing the expanded version of my short underlined additions. As you obviously know, many of the less technical users need a more detailed explanation of my underlined changes.

Thanks again for the help your guide gave me!

---------- Post added at 07:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

Yes, I saw them mentioned re several devices as I googled.

But - are you saying they were present in stock Xoom HC? Everything I've read says they were added in the 3.2 OTA, since people who are on 3.1 don't have these files to deal with.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ydaraishy:
These are a _function_ of the OTA process. When there are kernel or recovery updates required, the stock recovery partition requires patching, hence these files.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willysp:
Thanks, that helps explain what they are. So, if an OTA (like 3.2 apparently) wants to patch/replace stock recovery, those are the files that do it on next boot. Would be nice if they deleted themselves when done (from a hacker's POV), but for people running stock, I guess it makes sense for the OS to check the recovery partition at each boot and overwrite it with stock recovery if needed.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I'm no expert, but I will try to put it together based on the info in this thread, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willysp:
Sure - glad to.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
Yes these files were on the stock Xoom. Infact it helped us get some of the dumps. We would flash cwm, then dump, then let the OS rebuild the recovery. We then flashed cwm to boot and dumped the stock recovery.

I just bought a Xoom 3g and was looking to root it since the ICS update for them is still a long way away, it seems... I read about the green bot ! an then saw your solution, but I have a couple of questions?

1. You say to boot into recovery after flashing it, but isn't there where you get the green bot !? How can you root?

2. I am only guessing, but the last line (reboot with CWM) is done the normal way, not through adb... right?

Thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willysp:
Here are the more detailed instructions I saved for myself:

1. Install Motorola USB drivers for your computers (for USB connectivity)

2. Install Java SDK and Android SDK tools (for adb and fastboot commands)

3. Unlock the device for flashing (allowing replacement of recovery and boot images)

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock [will do factory reset]

will then reboot, turn on USB debugging

4. Install a modified recovery image (ClockWorkMod recovery for Android)

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-100611-1150.img

Reboot VolDown, VolUp into recovery; VolUp+Power will reboot to try again

5. Root the device

Transfer the Universal Xoom Root zip file to external micro SD card in root.

Boot into recovery. Navigate using the volume buttons and press the power button to select the active option.

Select 'Install ZIP from sd card.'

Select 'Choose ZIP.'

Navigate to the ROOT zip file with the Volume buttons and select it with the Power button.

Main CWM menu

6. Delete extra stock recovery files

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Reboot using CWM

Thanks for your quick reply... I read all the instructions on how to unlock and root, I just wanted to make sure that I do not get into problems with booting into CWM before deleting those stock files I have too.
