Well, whatever Expansys is doing wrong for some, it was a pretty efficient transaction for me. Ordered it from Expansys via Amazon on Monday night and it was delivered (via a forwarding company from a UK address) by Wednesday night! Picked it up this morning.

I've only played with it a little and charged it up. Will do the ICS update when I get home as the work wifi is acting up. I was able to tether it to my Xperia S and so far it's looking nice, though the web browsing seemed a little jerky/laggy. Maybe ICS will improve that.

I have since noticed that my Xperia S actually has a faster CPU, more storage, a higher ppi, a better camera and will likely get Jelly Bean later in Q1. If only it had an 8 inch screen :D

Yep, CM 10.1 everest (MZ601) nighties work perfect for me too. However presently they have problem with 3G, so if you install it, you should look for the 0524 version.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PDADoc:
I've recently put my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 LTE back in the desk drawer and got out my Xoom Verizon LTE. I got that invite to participate in the JB soak test months ago and decided not to do it at the time; I wish I had. Because even though I bought the Galaxy Tab 2, I suppose I could have done the testing as a side project.

The main reasons for switching initially had to do with two major issues: I travel to Europe for work extensively, and the odd charging port in the Xoom left me with no way to use my portable batteries in the go, because I couldn't find a USB charger for the Xoom. Also, the issues with having to hack to get around the external memory card write issue was annoying, to say the least.

I still love the tablet, in spite of those things, so I'm trying to find a way to make it work for me again.

So does anyone know if an update to jelly bean would resolve the external SD card write problem, or is this specific to Motorola?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slow68:
I kinda like the stock rooted version - with a script to make the external micro SD writable: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1936534
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PDADoc:
I don't think that version will work on my LTE Xoom, but you got my attention about the script. Where do I find information on that?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slow68:
To quote myself: This is what worked for me in a script using busy box:

umount /storage/sdcard1

mount -t vfat -o fmask=0000,dmask=0000,rw /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmcblk0p1 /storage/sdcard1

Credit goes to someone else (sorry as I do not remember who) as I found this on a blog website - I did modify it for JB
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PDADoc:
Thanks, I'll try and research it some more. I didn't come up with much on my first try. My SD card reads as external1.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prw94:
Hello, I found this thread and subscribed to xda to ask the same question, putting it in the thread instead of creating another one. I'm in the market for a tablet, my first. I have $250 to spend, tops..

I've looked at some 7-inchers but want something larger. I'm looking for something I can use for web browsing, GPS, entertainment purposes (mostly books) and that I can do a little work on (word processing and PDFs), and I really don't think a 7-incher will cut it.

I have a chance to buy several mint used Xooms in my price range (and in a couple of cases far less). I'm very tempted and every time I balance it against the Galaxy Tab 10.1, which used is also within my price range. the Xoom still comes out ahead.

I do not game. Period. And I'm not going to start. So there will be no super-duper 3D graphical things running on the tablet. I also don't stream or download HD movies, don't even have a Netflix, etc., subscription. Am more interested in music (although there are a few self-created video items I might put on there). I do not plan to have 300 apps on the thing, either, my apps are likely to be boring things like news organizations, weather, Kindle, a music player, etc. In short it will be a very boring tablet, but unfortunately that's me, the boring noob.

So, would a Xoom stuck at 4.1.2 (although one I'm looking at has CM and is running 4.2) fit those needs? Or should I hold out for something else?

I know these are noob questions, but when it comes to tablets I'm a noob so I'm unsure of where to go with this.

Thanks in advance for any help!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk4doosh:
I have a Xoom (MZ604) wifi only. A while ago I GEDified my device and I've recently rooted and installed a custom rom (dreamcwli 4.2.2 AOSP) which is very stable indeed. I only use it for mail, web, iPlayer and TVcatchup, plus a few other minor apps.

The Xoom isn't the lightest/thinnest device out there, but if you can get one cheap enough I would recommend it.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SCC2002:
Hi, everyone. I believe these questions are not covered in this forum yet.

Is it possible to just flash kernel from FTF file?

Is it possible to convert or package kernel (IMG / ELF) file to FTF file?

If above 2 are possible, does that mean that kernel can be flashed from flashmode instead of Fastboot mode & thus eliminating the need to unlock bootloader?

Are the firmware & kernel of Xperia T / TX / TL / V interchangeable?

Is there any risk trying to flash other firmware or kernel or anything that is not compatible?

Is there any risk trying to flash kernel (IMG /ELF) file & custom ROM with locked bootloader?

Is flashing stock advanced kernel equivalent to flashing stock kernel?

I believe these questions are worthwhile to be added into the All In One thread as well.

Appreciate for the knowledgeable input from u all. Thx in advance! =)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
These questions have been answered

1) yes, stock only

2) No

3) No, to flash custom kernel you need fastboot, hence you need unlocked bootloader

4) No, but you can try and see

5) There is always a risk when you flash something to your phone.

6) No risk, because without an unlocked bootloader it wont work*

7) No, Stock advanced kernel is a custom kernel based on stock with cmw and a few other things incorpprated, whilst stock kernels are stock kernels.

EDIT

* from number 6) you may soft brick the phone, but just flash a stock based rom back and it will work again. The problem will be with flashing a rom that needs a custom kernel that our phone will not support because you have a locked bootloader.

Why didnt you ask in that thread then? I have spent the time to add them to the FAQ there...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SCC2002:
Thank u so much for ur answers. Sorry for didn't manage to find them. =)

1 - 4. My questions arose are bcoz that in order to root firmware later than 7.0.A.3.195 needs to downgrade to 7.0.A.1.303. However, I'm owning a Xperia TX, which having the firmware of 7.0.A.3.197 & the earliest firmware I found for Xperia TX is 7.0.A.1.307. That's why I am not sure whether Xperia T's 7.0.A.1.303 firmware works on Xperia TX.

5. Well, what I mean is additional risk from usual flashing. =)

7. If that's the case, does installing CWM recovery with the phone rooted but locked bootloader resulting in a custom kernel?

Well, I was thinking that these questions are better asked on a separate thread then. Anyway, thx a lot for compiling the All In One thread. It's very useful. More details can be added though. =)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
1-4) The 303 and 307 firmware are basically the same FW. 303 for the T and 307 for the TX. also 195 is for the T and 197 is for the TX.

5) If you flash something that is not compatable then you can either get various results ranging from no apparent bugs, to slightly buggy formware, to soft bricks or inthe worst case a hard bricked phone.

7) No, installing recovery is seperate to having a custom kernel with recovery incorported within it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SCC2002:
5. o.O Hard-brick. Does that mean the phone is irrecoverable any more? In what case would result in this condition?

Oh yea, another question. In this case, downgrading the firmware is required to root the phone. So, does downgrading the kernel only, but not the firmware possible to give the same effect?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Hard brick means your phone is properly FUBAR'd

Maybe, try it and see. But i think a whole flash of the firmware is needed.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
I had read that for some other devices (I think Xperia P) flashing just the old kernel, then rooting then flashing the new kernel works to keep root without flashing system folder or anything else. Give it a try, worse case you just flash again full ftf and start over.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SCC2002:
Happy New Year, guys! Thx for the answer. I've tried just flashing the kernel. Doesn't work. Succeeded rooting after flashing the whole firmware. =)

Anyway, now I'm stuck in the process of upgrading the firmware. I can't seem to find a stock ROM for Xperia TX (LT29i) 7.0.A.3.197 firmware. I just gone through all the hard ways to create a stock ROM myself & successfully flashed it. Perhaps bcuz of the improper build, my WiFi can't be turned on & there might be other problems coming up later.

Now I am also worrying that would it cause any prob to my phone. I followed this guide to create the ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1931189

& I took the META-INF folder from this custom ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040989

Plz kindly help that if there's any resource to the stock ROM or any way to fix this, as well as have a look if there is any side effect from flashing that ROM. Many thanks! ><
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
Wifi not working is because you have to copy and rename the /system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko file to just /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SCC2002:
Really? That's all? There's no other side effect from the way that I built the ROM? Am I building ROM with a proper way?

Do I've to keep the original file at the original location? Why is it that we need to modify this, just wondering?

Btw, I heard that there's a prob with MAC address with this method from another forumer. Is this true?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
I kept the other file in the original location. Not sure about any Mac address issue. Worked fine for my device. Not sure about the way you use to build the rom. I just use the android kitchen since its pretty quick and easy.

I tried many different players, but all of them dont work... also I tried to sychronize my music with many different players from my pc to my nexus 7 but eyerything failed, because my nexus 7 doent recognizes the music properly. When I try to copy and paste the music to the device , it fails because the data transfer freezes or crashes at some point.( I think the problem is that the nexus 7 doesnt support a usb mass storage device mode. It shows up as a media device) I really like my nexus 7 but it fails badly as a media device. Is android really that badly made that it doesnt recognize wma files? Is there no properly working solution to synchronisize music to a android device? Even apple does a better job with itunes and microsoft with zune. For Example I have a windows phone and and a propely tagged music library in zune on my pc. I synchronisize my music to my phone and everything shows up on the music player properly...

[HTC One X+] Clonz:
WTF...the right one would be the boot.img you extract from the custom rom you are flashing...
[HTC One X+] nugzo:
Do you have the International or ATT One X+? If you didnt do a nandroid backup first then you need to re lock the bootloader and then run the RUU for your phone. The phone should be in fastboot mode with the bootloader locked and attached to computer via USB. Then you should be able to run the RUU which will restore your phone to stock settings. If you tell me which carrier you have i'll point you to the correct RUU.

Sorry that should be hold volume down button then hold power button as well. This is the htc official hardware reset method from their website and it worked for me when my phone wouldn't turn on or charge.
