As soon as Safestrap is ironed out I will definitely flash some of these.

Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
ok guys, here is a almost working bootstrap, via twrp recovery, only thing that does not work is restore, DO NOT TRY TO RESTORE! it will -rm your system and you will have to fastboot back to stock.

this is the finaly one i am doing, see the OP for all the details and links

test on a MZ608?

Anyone tested it on a MZ608?

Should it work?

I can test it :D

PS.: any possibility that with this we'll get some custom rom?

PS2.: sorry, I only found this post here today
[Xoom Android Development] chumboy:
It's been erily silent here lately.

prior post surmise dev's working on other projects and should return.

interesting to see where this goes.

haven't heard of many devs interested in making some roms.

but it's early in the game.....
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
Sorry to leave u hanging but I have exhausted all my knowledge and simply can not get cwm to restore properly without restoring via dd of the backup IMG, problem being if the system is formated instead of just remove all files the boot sequence runs a sig check on the system and because it will not contain the proper Motorola signature the device will fail to boot and u MUST do a full restore via fast boot. Which completely defeats the point of a backup/restore functions.

If you want to live dangerously you can still use what is in the OP to flash content but do it knowing that there is no way to do a restore.

As for creating a ROM, I do not have the time/knowledge to do so.

If you or anyone knows of a developer that want to develop a ROM for this tell them to contact me. I will sell mine for cheap...CHEAP to get you guys at least the hopes to get some real level development on this tab.

$200.00USD I think would be a straight up steal for this tablet.

[Xoom Android Development] ERIFNOMI:
Thanks but I just got it working. Simply booted into fastboot and erased cache and data.
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
wow i fall asleep for a few and this thing gets way off topic...lol

for all that are wondering why this is not working yet heres why.

a porting recovery is not all that hard if you have a few things,

its really easy if the device already has a source from the likes of say CM or something, simple sync that and sync your source and start building.

all i have to go on here is a recovery and a boot img. all the mounting point are based off whats in there. if it aint right...and i can tell you it is not. hell even the boot and recovery img from the same device have a completely different recovery.fstab... so doing all this is a bit more tedious work. And if I could test and change with a device in front of me it would be a hella lot quicker. But it’s the price we pay.

Now that said from the logs along I am trying to fix this. But it’s a slow one step at a time, test, go from there process.

so again, test and report back

ok guys im an noticing that some people are getting old recoveries ( from some of the first apks)

make sure you delete manually these before installing AND RUNNING APP ( make sure you are running the app and not just installling and rebooting into reocvery

the app "should" replace the old files when you click "boot recovery" but it does look like it may not be.

but lets just be careful and do it manually

the process should be for testing

uninstall old apk,

delete these

/preinstall/recovery;

/system/bin/pre_recovery;

/system/bin/charge_only_mode;

/system/bin/recovery;

/system/bin/load_recovery;

then install new apk

run app

click boot recovery

Hi, I did the clean up process, and installed 006 version and it started to work in my xoom 2 me Brazilian version Honeycomb, Still half Screen problem, wipe dalvik-cache seems ok, install zip seems ok, backup don't work at all (misc problem), those are the things I tested, here the log

Will u upload the file last_install from cache/recovery

If there is anything there .

And what did u flash? If it was my test zip is there now placeholder.txt at the system and or system/app?

As for half screen that's provabaly cause u are on 8.2??? Maybe just guessing

Is there a way to rotate the screen to portrait? I guess this should fix screen issues on the family/media edition tabs.

Nevertheless as long as the recovery boots up and is usable (when it is, but i trust in you getting it ready soon :D) this is only a cosmetical issue right?

Thanks i'm glad you appreciate my efforts in testing, giving as much feedback as i can and trying to figure out how to be helpful in whatever way i can to push things forward ;)

I'm a long time linux user but building and editing recovery is new to me so i have much to read into, yet.

In the meantime ill try to test 0.0.8 asap and give further feedback. Cheers

One more thing. Those guys with sdcard slot (if anyone is reading this) are you able to acces your external memory in stock recovery or in cwm?
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
ok i know u think its the same problem but FAR FROM!!! want to know why??? because it mounted the data, and now sees that the "sdcard" is at /data/media!!!! that is GREAT NEWS!!

also it ASBOLUTLY should NOT EVER backup the boot img like it was trying, because we DO NOT want it to do that because of the pre boot check to ensure that the boot and recovery img are signed moto imgs and it wouldnt be if it was every restored! so thats a HUGE step in the right direction.

go ahead a test 8 if you will but 9 is coming soon.

as for the rotation i...like ive said a few times would need the recovery img for the 8.2 devices to see whats going on. no img no help from me. sorry just the way it is.
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:

then install new apk

click boot recovery

xoom2recovery_v0.0.9.apk - 2.29 MB

that should in theory stop recovery from trying to backup the boot.img and should allow for backups and such,

i need reports on what happens when you try to install zip from sdcard ( yes i know there is no actuall sd card)

as for recovery there is ALWAYS be a "sdcard" and when i say SDCARD i mean the internal memory. aka /data/media

also if u try to install i want that log too. its in the same /cache/recoery and its the one last_install

finaly i am drunk and going to take a break for a bit, until i pass out. i will still watch the thread but done building for tonight ( unless we have a huge breakthru with 009)

still want to know what happens when you try in install from sdcard.

and i added a tag to the boardcomfig make file. i know its a valid tag for making twrp but i havent a clue if it works with cwm.

so with 00.10 go ahead try to make a backup and see if system is mounted

and rememebr to please delete those old files, before testing. dont want to be chasing problems that shouldnt need chasing

ittle feedback

That´s exactly what I´m thinking, I´m guessing that´s it´s something related to the video drivers used in Honeycomb, in the cache/recovery I couldn´t find anything, and yes I tried with your text Zip and the file was in system

Right now I´ll gonna test the 009 version asap I´ll publish what found.
[Xoom Android Development] jeffcavicchi:
It might be worth modifying the OP to include instructions on exactly how to install and test, and then revert back to original - I think those instructions were included in the original thread, but it might get more people to help out with testing if they were included here as well...
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
guss your talking about the updater script. everything i create has my name in it everywhere. places that you see....some that you dont. This is a open community, and sometime people take advantage of it. and its funny seeing people taking 100% credit for something... then it have my name all over it once you dig a littler deeper..lol

as for the other site, im not sure, your welcome to grab some attention from there. but i havent posted anything. its hard enought keeping up with three sites when i have something workingk.... while in development it would be just a headache

it has nothing to do with honeycomb or antrhing its the fact that i am building for device with the only imgs i have which are the 10.1 for the time being. not sure if i have had any 8.2 imgs, ( or atleast they were not labeled as such)

thanks received

i havent a clue what your taking about but to be honest if someone cant follow the thread, and need a hand holding walk-threw then odds are they probably shouldnt be testing this, and furthermore someone like that is not going to provide the usable intel i need.

thanks for your advice
[Xoom Android Development] jeffcavicchi:
I am just suggesting that you lay out the instructions as you did here:

you´re absolutely Right, I was thinking in something really far away of this Awesome work, yes I have 8.2 that´s should be the problem with the screen size (thing that actually it´s not the important point), well I´ll keep testing the version you are posting and send you the last_log´s files and anything else I found related to it ....

[Xoom Android Development] jeffcavicchi:
Someone has an unlocked Xoom2? As in the bootloader is unlocked?
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
yes its a "not for sale" model

my thoughts are to build imgs for him, have him fastboot flash them and see whats happening
[Xoom Android Development] jeffcavicchi:
Aha! Hope he gets in touch!
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
okay EVERYONE ELSE DO NOT ATTEMPT YOU WILL BRICK YOUR TABLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is that clear enough? /\

to the guy with unlocked tab try theses two imgs one is cwm and other twrp

i need you to extensively test both of these and as a reminder twrp may take a few seconds to load so wait at least 5(five) minutes before assuming it wont work.

once in each recovery i need you to install a zip ( grab one from OP)

try to make a backup.

wipe cache

in twrp go to mount try to mount system

go to advance then file manager see whats there.

play around with it. remember the "sdcard" is at /data/media look there for the files that would be on your tab

all the normal things.

try each thing while in one recovery session. then grab any and all logs at /cache/recovery....

please report back with logs and what every you noticed and plese be detailed!

place tablet into fastboot mode

and connect to pc and enter code

fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm.img

once you have adiquitly tested it boot into android and grab log

then do the same for the twrp img

fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img

okay EVERYONE ELSE DO NOT ATTEMPT YOU WILL BRICK YOUR TABLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is that clear enough? /\
