yes. When I do the wipe data I get a format error. "Error removing...." so I checked the status of the /data/app folder and it's all read only. I tried deleting the files in adb using the rm -r command, but I still get the read only file system.

How do I change the file system to read/write?
[Acer Iconia A500] mobiushky:
This is also new, When I do :su in adb, I get a segmentation fault. what's going on?
[Acer Iconia A500] bthefirst:
Try to do format Data from Mount Menu. That Segmentation Fault I've received when the device was not correctly rooted. Maybe try flashing another kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] mobiushky:
Still get the error formatting data from that menu.

I've flashed an older ROM, and still get the same thing.

I'll try locating a kernel to flash. So far, I'm stuck with a dead tablet. Anyone got any ideas?

[Acer Iconia A500] lexiperplexi91:
I know this may be a little late to ask, but do you have a nandroid you can do to go back? Even when i've had filesystem issues (on my Epic) i've been able to get back by doing a nandroid. If all else fails, you can go back to stock...
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
if it is a similar prob to mine the currupt data is in your back up too :mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] mobiushky:
I have several nandroids. the big problem is that I can't wipe the data directory because it's telling me it's a read only file system. And I can't change the file system because I'm not sure how to, and the SU comes back with a segmentation fault.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
are you using cwm? if so what version?

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

If you are using Thor's CWM. And his recovery only;

Here are the steps to completely wipe all internal data. And give it a clean internal system (according to Thor)

Note: Optional Formatting.

If you really want to remove EVERYTHING in Internal Memory, at this point, go to Backup and Restore. Select "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media). Enable this setting by selecting it. By default, it is disabled. Then proceed to the formatting steps. This will format the Entire Internal Memory when you proceed.

Note, this will format EVERYTHING in internal memory (not ext sd card)

Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage

1. Format System

2. Format Cache

3. Format Dalvik

4. Format Flexrom

just let it format, and hopefully it will take care of the corrupted data

Then just install the fresh rom.

After you reboot, I believe it resets back to the defaults.

it will wipe your backups tho but that dosent matter if they arent working

im not an expert just passing along info that was given to me
[Acer Iconia A500] mobiushky:
Ok, I downloaded the latest recovery, did the steps to fully delete the data and it didn't error this time. Wiped like 3 time on everything. re-installed my rom and I'm now re-booting.... fingers crossed..

Update: Booted!!!!! Finally!!!!

Thank you, Thank you!!!!!

Just by chance, I went on this thread.

Really, I am glad you got it running, and glad me and Dr Mcknight pitched in to help. He'll be an OC monster before too long ;)

For all you users wanting to overclock. Never run at the max OC speeds. Usually they are unstable.

Yeah, i run at 1600, and I'm stable, but I am just lucky. But I don;t run it all the time. Typically, 1504 is fine.

Anything above 1600, is purely for benchmarks. And if you use it normally, at that speed, you may have reboots, freezes, corrupt data.

I'm lucky as I only had 1 reboot at 1686. Or was it 1748???? I forget. ;)

So people, keep it at a normal level. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
just trying to show a lil love back to the community :D
[Acer Iconia A500] mobiushky:
Normally I run it at 1400 or 1200. I set it to 1680 and forgot it was there. So yeah, my own dumb fault. Live and learn.

CPU'S and overclocking

Computer processors due to the way they are assembled. all have dead transistors.. Some call them simi conductors.. . With this being said .. not all of them can run at the same clock speeds.. In the far past when cpu's were made. they would test them to see the max perfectly stable speed to run at.. stamp them and sell at that level.. Power users and main boards started hitting the market allow you to change voltage and clock speeds . This caused a onslot of people over clocking.. That is what lead to LOCKED MULTIPLIERS ON Boxed cpu's.

Anyway what this all means is ONE Device spun on the same die . might run much faster then the one next to it . OP It does sound like you have taken life of your device . I DO Hope you did not cause to much heat on the embedded ram and rom chips. if so you will always have a unstable to end of life device

Tis the reason to never BUY A USED Gaming computer.. YOU KNOW it was clocked far to high way to many times..

glad you have it fixed and was nothing but corrupt data..
[Acer Iconia A500] mobiushky:
I'm an at home overclocker. So I guess I'm aware of the risks involved. And like I said, I normally don't OC this tablet for any kind of time. I just managed to forget about it this time. It didn't ever get hot to the touch, not even really warm, and I know the aluminum case is a link in the cooling chain on this device. So I'm pretty confident it wasn't baked too bad. BUT, you're right it still has the risk there. Hey if it becomes too unstable, I'll pass it down to the kids and get a new one.....
[Xoom General] rvbarton:
I just purchased a Motorola Xoom. I figured as everything I have read, it is the best tablet thus far, I should dive in. I started with a dell streak 5" phone/tablet, and then graduated to a Dell Streak 7" tablet, but the random reboots were killing me, not to mention Dells lack of support (if there ever really was some in the first place.

I've read about the new tegra quad core devices coming out soon, but figured it would be a year or so after they are introduced before the capabilities of that tablet could be fully utilized, and seeing the pages upon pages of support for an already well established device, the Xoom, here I am joining your ranks.

Tracking shows it is out for delivery so I'm giddy with excitement! I'm a true tech-hound, so I am pretty sure most of you understand what I'm saying.

Any suggestions right off the bat? I'd hate to dive in like every other tablet I've used and overlook something.

I also ordered the HD speaker dock. any thoughts on that as well?
[Xoom General] JoTeC:
Let us know which Xoom you got. There are several. (Wifi, 3G, 4G, Xoom 2, etc...)

Welcome to our forum, you have come to the right place to learn about one of the best tablets around. :cool:
[Xoom General] rvbarton:
I bought the Wifi only version.
[Xoom General] omac_ranger:
Great choice and welcome! I love the Xoom and recommend you get a Team EOS ROM right away. If you're a flashoholic then grab the nightlies if not I would go with the 1.0. Don't you dare use Honeycomb!

I think the HD dock is awesome and has great quality and volume. Use it to watch movies and listen to music quite a bit.
[Xoom General] rvbarton:
Question about the dock...

If I plug headphonez into the xoom while its docked, will it ovsrride the speaker out? I do this so I can watch netflix in bed anx not disturb my wife...
[Xoom General] omac_ranger:
Honestly, I've never tried it. I would imagine so, but i'll test it out tonight and let you know
[Xoom General] JoTeC:
The first thiing you will do upon opening it and connecting via WiFi will be the Android Honeycomb upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich. Go ahead and update that and then spend a couple of weeks with it, reading about the Xoom and its capabilities and customize it. Everything you need to know can be found right here. Enjoy your new Xoom! :cool:

Just got my tablet, and had to apply two different updates to it. after the 2d update & reboot, I'm showing:

Welcome to the xoom club :-)
[Xoom General] okantomi:
If you plan to root your Xoom, it won't matter what version you have because all wifi-only Xooms have the same hardware. They are all wingray devices as far as I know, and can flash the Team EOS ICS wingray rom.
[Xoom General] rvbarton:
Tried this, but I can't even get clock work mod to install. I keep getting an error message saying device is still locked... looks like I have alot of reading to do to figure this out. I",m very familiar with fastboot & CWM, but a new device is a.always a news device. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
[Xoom General] aR_ChRiS:
You would have to do unlock first...

To do this you would need the fastboot drivers from motodev (don't just install drivers from moto, you need the motodev ones).

After you have the drivers and adb setup, then you can boot your device to the bootloader using adb reboot bootloader

then after your device entered the bootloader and your computer registered it, then type fastboot oem unlock on the adb

then follow on screen instructions on your tablet to get it unlocked.

Once unlocked you are ready to flash the trivial stuff.
[Xoom General] slonn:
I unlocked, installed CWM and rooted my WiFi Xoom using this tutorial. Can highly recommend it.
[Xoom General] UnholyX:
that´s true,

i unlocked my new xoom with universal root -> dev section

flashed CWM - and then flashed a lot of nightly´s

now i am on EOS 1.0 and it rocks!
[Xoom General] rvbarton:

I'm very excited!

I'm going to play with this to get used to it, but everywhere i read it seems that the ROM Team Eos ICS 1.0.0, is the way to go.

Can anyone tell me why?

EOS ICS Rom 1.0.0 is very stable and very full-featured. You will be blown away.
[Xoom General] murderdollpf:
guys one question but it´s a little off topic:

would you recommend to buy the xoom or wait for the new quadcore tablets ( like asus or huawei ).

I mean the xoom is already one year old and costs about 380€ for the 3g version...

thanks in advance!
[Xoom General] rvbarton:
I thought about this exact situation extensively before I bought my Xoom (wingray) two weeks ago. My final selling point is that the Xoom is a year old, so all of the bugs have been worked out, multiple stable working ROM's are available, and it is updated with ICS! I realize there are newer tablets out there, with quad core processors, and I'm sure they are fantastic! But the Xoom is fantastic in & of itself! I may upgrade in another year or two, but the Xoom is an incredible device and I've tried multiple tablets, from the dell streak 5, 7 & iPad 2 to the kindle fire, and I love my xoom the most!
[Xoom General] rvbarton:
is it as stable as stock ICS?
[Xoom General] murderdollpf:
I only had the acer iconia a500 which I send back after 3 weeks, because I was disappointed...

The Xoom should be fast enough for web browsing even without a quadcore processor...playing games isn't interessting for me at all with it...

what about the weight: about 730g sounds kind of heavy?
[Xoom General] rvbarton:
it is heavier than other tablets, but I got used to it. I prefer more solid devices so it suits me.

Buy it from a reputable seller with a solid return policy. If you don't like it, return it. I'm sure you will be pleased.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Maybe more stable and full-featured. I highly recommend it.
[Xoom General] theoner1:
Yes, if not better. I had random reboot with stock upgrade ICS but only see it happen less than a hand full of the time with Team EOS v1.0 rom.

Another rom I recommend is Bugless pete rom. I'm on the 2/17 nightly since release date and not once have a hard lockup or any random reboot. It is also packed with feature. You can also flash Tiamiat Kernel for your overclocking pleasure. Welcome aboard and enjoy your stay pal!
[Xoom General] rvbarton:
This is tempting, but i have to admit, stock ICS is the most stable Android ROM I've ever used, next to stock gingerbread on my Motorola Atrix
[Xoom General] gstyle40:
There r apps that lock up and cause a reboot. It is rare for the Xoom to do random reboots. I had a dell streak mini 5 for almost a year so I know where your coming from. Dell streak is the most unstable device I've ever owned. But the Xoom is awesome. And wifi version gets updates sooner. I have mine stock because its fast enough as is for me.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
look man first i would resume that you dont know nothing about roms.

some games need more than android 2.1 (but the games you puschased i think is ok) so there are some updates ,that are not by sony ericsson ,and they are called roms, check this and this

usually the roms have better performance and thats because a gamer should use them

the second part is that you should increase your phones performance : with task killer you can free up some ram and with overclock you can increase cpu frequency

there and some other tips. you may check this out(those i have mention above included)

here is a video on how to increase performance in general for android:

[YOUTUBE]J8EbkfyAlVU&feature=player_embedded#![/YOUTUBE]

also i would suggest you not to purchase games before you make sure that they run on your device(you can search on google or in youtube if anyone with the same device play them)

Update 16/02/2012: Download link for pure stock AOSP build is available in post 5 of this thread.

------------

I'm just wondering if anyone is aware of a publicly available and completely stock 4.0.3 build.

I know I can build from source (I'm doing so right now), and I know I can download AOSP based ROMs from the dev section; but does anyone know if there is a -stock- AOSP build of 4.0.3 available to download?

P.S. If there isn't, does anyone think it would be worth me uploading one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
.....

4.0.3 is available as src. Build it, you'll have 4.0.3 stock.

I simply dont understand the point of questions like these about a aosp supported device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atlman28:
I think it would be a great idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XanSama:
The point of the question is this: not everyone has the available resources to build from source; personally I do but at the time of the post I was two hours in to a 6 hour build procedure.

For me personally, it would have been nice to just be able to download a stock master build and not spend 6 hours; thus I asked the question. Your answer provided nothing at all other than a dose of negativity.

As we can see from atlman28's reply, I'm not the only person who would find this helpful.

Now that my build is complete I will see about hosting it and posting for anyone else who may be interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XanSama:
And here we are.

Stock 4.0.3_r1 build direct from AOSP; built on a clean Ubuntu VM; no modifications:

full_maguro-ota-eng.ics.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
what did you want? an awnser "oh please yes make me a rom because i don't have the patience to do it" - yeah, that's right, are you guys using machines from what age, to take 6 hrs to build for the first time? you got to be talking about first sync only, because, no mods, excluding repo init/first sync time, just straight up make, it's 1h to build (after doing make clean/make installclean) for me. quad-core, 4gb ram@1333mhz. 'make -j8 otapackage'.

other people have done the same, if you wanted such a build you could have just googled it and you'd see that you're not the only ones that have a need for it. seriously, you never thought that no one has shared/built that already?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XanSama:
I did a quick search of the dev forum and Google before asking my question; if you were aware of existing stock builds available for download somewhere why did you not simply say so? It would have taken less effort to type than your other reply.

Not all of us have access to new hardware; you're correct that the 6 hours included first sync and it was only 2 hours to build for me. However that doesn't change the fact that I had to invest 6 hours of machine time into it, and an hour or so of my own time to get it all going. Not everyone has fast enough hardware, or enough time to invest in something like this.

For a lot of people it's either a passing hobby or simple curiosity; having a pre-built ROM available for download is nothing more than a convenience.

I would also like to point out that I was not saying "oh please yes make me a rom because i don't have the patience to do it" but rather "is there a faster way for me to achieve my end goal?" and when the reply was "no" I said "here is a faster way to achieve your end goal" to anyone else who was in the same boat as me.

This whole post was a simple polite question... yet for some reason you feel the need to come and spread negativity without offering anything of value to the thread.
