yes, but be sure to pick the right .zip-file for your xoom. AFAIK, the bugless beast is not available for european or us 3g xooms. Using a zip that has been made for another model may permanently damage your xoom (some MZ601 users reported that they were unable to get 3g working again after installing a MZ604-rom, not even after installing official MZ601-rom)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDifference:
mine is/was an australian Telstra Xoom. does that make it more likely to be euro or US?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
i THINK it should be comparable to the EU-xoom. What's your model number? It should be printed on your box and, if you haven't flashed any custom rom yet, in your xooms settings. It should read MZ60*.

MZ600 is the US-3g-model for CDMA-Networks.

MZ601 is the EU-3g-model for GSM-Networks.

MZ602 is the MZ600 upgraded with the LTE-Module.

MZ604 is the wifi-only-model

if you can't find a bugless beast-rom for your xoom, I'd recommend the team EOS nightlies, work really niceky for me:-)

I followed these instructions. When I got to the point of installing the new ROM I ended up at the bot with the "!". What do I do now?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
you are talking about the standard-android-bot, and it shows up after trying to reboot into recovery, right?

That means, that the recovery has been overwritten w/ the stock recovery. This happens when you don't root after installing the cwm recovery and before rebooting, or if the rooting fails.

If you already made the backup, you should be on the safe side, just go ahead and redo the section "installing ClockWorkMod". at the end of thiis section, you should be in the recovery, just install your rom from there, skip the backup- and root- sections and do not reboot before the rom and gapps-packages have been installed.

Boot screen

Thanks Llama.

I did what you said. After flashing ROM (i think) and loading Gapp I rebooted and now it is just on the red M screen and doing nothing else. Please help! I can get back into clockwork recovery. what am I doing wrong. As if its not obvious, I'm a total noob.

edit: Wow! Somehow I got it to work. I now have EOS rom. Thanks everyone!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmanrx:
Did something wrong

Okay, I have the EOS rom, but I can't find any of my apps. I thought I backed up everything on my internal storage. I loaded the backup into the internal storagage after the flash, but no apps. Maybe I didn't backup the apps properly. I don't have adroid market on the new rom, and cant download any of my apps from market or amazon. ICS is great, but not much use without apps. I can't even download new apps. What am I missing?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
do you have the google mail app? Android market is usually part of the gapps package, maybe you didn't install that package correctly?

I'd try to do a factory reset (wipe /data, /cache and dalvik-cache from recovery) and install the gapps .zip again.

how did you backup your apps? If at all possible, you should not reatore apps using titanium backup or something like that after upgrading from Honeycomb to ICS. Instead, you should install these apps from market manually and only restore those apps that you can't find on the market.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmanrx:
factory reset

So I go into clockwork recovery and "wipe data/factory reset"? then do i "wipe cache partition" or do I wide data before factory reset? After factor reset were do a start back in the procedures you decribed in detailed post? I really appreciate your help!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
I am not entirely sure if you even have to wipe the cace partition, as a factory reset should also wipe the cace-partition. But just to play it safe:

go to recovery

wipe /cache partition

advanced->wipe dalvik-cache

wipe /data/factory reset

install zip from sdcard-> pick the gapps .zip

reboot

you do not start back in tzhe instruction, as they never described installing custom roms;-)

also, make sure you use the current gapps .zip, that should be release 10.5
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmanrx:
sd card?

I did what you instructed with no problem. I ensured that gapp v10.5 is the one I have on my sdcard(as viewed on pc). But when I go to select .zip file from sdcard (from clockwork recovery), I get a menu that has the files I had on my internal storage, and the gapp.zip is not there. There is also a 'ifx_permissions' file on my internal storage (viewed on pc), and there are files that were not wiped out (files for apps).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llama-power:
which recovery did you flash? Did you use the Tiamat-modded recovery I recommended in post #2? With that recovery you shouldn't be able to see the internal memorys contents, instead you should only be able to see the sd-cards contents.

When booted into recovery, the first line should read "Clockwork Mod Recovery v3.2.0.0 (solarnz-R4c-100611-1150)". If not, please flash the recovery image I recommended in post #2, according to the section "Installing ClockworkMod". After that, do what I wrote in post #16.

If you still have problems after that feel free to ask some more, glad I can give back a little of my knowledge:)

Hi bahmonkeys,

i looked at the link you gave me. and i will try and do what it say and see if it works.

but can you tell me which firmware i should download??

my phone is a Vodaphone australia Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100T

but you can flash this model with the international firmwares. as it is the same as the I9100 internation phone, it just has a slightly different moderm.

and i would prefer a firmware without the vodaphone bloatware on it anyway.

can someone please tell me which one of the firmwares,on that link bahmonkeys gave me, i should download??

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Right. Two options. First option, bootloop thread.

Second option:-

1) Find/download Odin (Google it).

2) Find/download Checkfus (again, Google or search on here).

3) Checkfus will enable you to download the latest firmware for Voda AU that you'd normally get via Kies. Do exactly that.

4) Once you've download the package, follow the instructions here.

This should put your phone back into a state somewhat similar to when you bought it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
This is what i would do if i was you (this is my opinion). Download siyah kernel i like this 1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263838. Download the .tar file. Presuming you read the link i sent you. Flash the kernel with ODIN. You could try to restore your your phone with the backup you made earlier AFTER you flashed the kernel. If that doesnt work. Download a custom rom whatever one you like as long as its i9100. There all good! Flash the ROM with CWM. Restore your apps (presuming u backed up your apps contacts etc). If you need ODIN i will send it to you because i think that some links are dead. If you get no signal when your phone is booted up. Go back to the link and find the modem for your country.

Goodluck and dont forget to hit the thanks button!!

Hi all,

i already have odin and checkfus.

can someone please tell me which stock firmware i should download. as i am quite new to rooting/custom roms.

i have tried to download the vodaphone rom from checkfus, but it keeps failing. and saying CRC check failed.

that thing about bootloop seems like it is the same thing as i have got. but i need a stock firmware to be able to do it.

can someone please tell me which stock firmware i should download??? as i dont want to brick my phone a second time ;-(

it does not need to be a carrier branded firmware. as i would like to get rid of all the vodaphone bloatware anyway.

so it just needs to work on a Galaxy S2 I9100 Internatonal.

and what is "SAV"???

when i try and download anything from checkfus it keeps saying this:

Download Complete.

CRC check failed.

the files have downloaded, and are in my "downloads" folder. but i am not sure if it is safe to use them, and the download only got to 99% before it failed

Did you try to restore your phone after you flashed the kernel i told you to flash? Here is a custom rom i like: http://www.jota.cl/criskelo/ROMS-SG....v38-MD5-C4D9AAA0E4F1C66C6257531E15206F12.zip. This like is not dead!

First type +#06# an check that your IMEI number has not been changed.Then root your phone and do a Nandroid backup just incase.You can download Nitrality from the market to check and/or change your CSC but if you change it you will factory reset your phone.If your IMEI has changed then you have other problems to deal with before the modem.Your CSC can be checked by typing +#272+(IMEI)+ also.

Try these!! These are your modems for Vodafone Australia (the ones i sent you earlier). These are the actual IP addresses. Some people are having luckk downloading them this way (I wasnt able) but maybe in your country you will be able. Its worth a try. I did say that when your modem wont work when you flash your phone. This would have been such an easy fix it the links weren't dead. When you get your phone working properly (with the right modem) BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP. I hope they work for you.

Your phone is obviously unlocked to all networks which is a good thing. Well ya and no about the modems. Most people think K13 works perfect for them. Basically I don't really know. If it was me with your problem i would flash them all until i got 1 to work for me. It is the long way around. Ya you can put and flash a rom on an external SD card. I think I told you to do this but I don't think I specified to put it on an external SD card.

Explain more... It keeps freezing up? What are you doing to make it freeze up. Did you do a clean install?? "loads of my apps are not working on it" Did you try to restore your apps and couldnt? You downloaded new apps but are simply not working? I dont know what you mean? That rom i sent you is flawless for me NO CRASHES, ZERO FREEZING.
