Don't

unzip any of the .zip files you downloaded. You flash the zip files themselves.

Just move them to the SD card. The rood directory is fine, but you can create another directory to hold all of your updates so they're easier to use.

Then reboot into recovery, choose install zip file, and start flashing!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbay:
You do not unzip the zip file. Just leave it be in the zip format, put it anywhere you like in sdcard, and flash the zip from the recovery by the 'install' menu. Knowing that you said you have not done any customization to your device, have you rooted your device and had custom recovery?

Followup

a

About 18 months ago, I purchased my "Refurbished" XOOM WIFI tablet from 1sale.com. It was a good deal. Right at that time Android 3.0 was out

and Motorola said that all XOOMs would get it. So I registered my tablet did all that and nothing happened. I would go to Setup, about tablet. software update, and I was consistently told that I had the correct software. I posted on the Motorola Support page and provided the information requested. I learned that I had bought a Xoom with the UK ROM and that Motorola was not going to relase 3.0 to the UK for some months. I was going to return the UK ready Xoom to 1Sale.com but, then I found the XOOM forum and I posted my issue. I was directed to a thread there that allowed me to root my tablet and load the USA 2.x whatever Android Software in place of the UK version. As soon as I did that Updates from Motorola flowed like rain.

So this is the only "customization" that I did. I replated the factory installed UK Android ROM with the US version.

The three zip files are now on my tablet on the SDcard. BTW what is and where is the install menu? What do I do from the point when my XOOM says ---> Android Recovery?

I just entered the ---> Android Recovery, I next pushed the Volume Up button. The result is picture of the Android laying on his back with the

front chest plate open. Just below the open lid is a RED triangle with an "!: in it.

So I guess I need to ROOT my tablet. So I will go search on how to do that.

Thank you for your help.

Update

Hi,

I have done a factory reset on my Xoom Wifi only tablet. I had tried to root the tablet using a guide from the xoom forum. However, it did not go well. I have setup my wifi connection. I have setup my Gmail account on the tablet. I have a whole list of updates that I can download.

Now, here is key issue. All the Developer options are now LOCKED. So, I cannot enable USB Debugging. So,

Now the tablet is not rooted and is LOCKED. So, what in the world do I do now?

In order to use any ROMS I have to be able to enable USB debugging. So, gee. I am about ready to give up and go shop for a new TABLET.

I apologize for being a nag, but I did say I that I didn't know what I was doing. Maybe I shouldn't have tried anything.

Any help will be appreciated.

Are all those needed? I assumed that for OmniRom I only needed the TWRP 2.6.3.0 BigPart, not the other TWRP 2.6.3.0 or the Eos 4 BigPart Wingray Boot Image.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbay:
The bold ones mean that your device still has stock recovery. By that, it can be your device hasn't been rooted or has been rooted but not flashed with custom recovery yet.

Not really remember since I have rooted mine so long ago. How are the developer option locked? Could you provide screenshot? Also the about phone if it's alright.

In order to customize phones/tablet, sometimes you need to be ready to face some thingamajigs like this. If you are not ready to encounter such situation, then it's probably better for you to get everything out of the box.

Bigrushdog's tutorial requires you to flash TWRP 2.6.3.0 first and then flash the BigPart's one after that. If you succeeded in flashing Bigpart's TWRP directly, it's your luck. But AFAIK the boot image is definitely needed after flashing the ROM
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigfootnmd:
More info

This is what I mean by the developer options being locked. I go to Settings, Developer options. Under developer options everything is grayed out. I can tap my finger on Usb debugging, Allow mick locations, select debug options, wait for debugger, and nothing happens.

The check mark does not appear in the boxes. So, that is what I mean by LOCKED. Locked as in cannot select.

So, how do I unlock Android 4.1.2 on my XOOM?

Recomendations for NEW ROM

Each time that you change a ROM, even the same provider, you need to ROOT again the tablet.

One good action is to do like this:

1.- Backup all data from internal SDCARD

2.- Install ADB (SDK) and fastboot software

3.- Install all drivers for your computer OS (MAC Windows Linux) which will allow you to move ROM and GAPPPS to your SDCARD (the external one)

4.- Download all files requested like RECOVERY, ROM, GAPPS & ROOTER UPDATE,

5.- Install RECOVERY (there are 2 types in the forum)

6.- Boot in recovery

7.- Factory Reset, clean Dalvik-Cache, Cache, System Data (just keep sdcard)

8.- Install ROM customized (for Kitkat 4.4.2 OMNI ROM there is spacial BigPartioned previous procedure)

9.- Install GAPPS

10.- ROOT UPDATE

11.- CLEAN DALVIK-CACHE & CAHE again

12.- Reboot... & enjoy

Details will depend on the ROM that you want to install, however there are several considerations that have to be the same for all procedeures:

a) keep the batery close to 100% and avoid to do it with less than 30% of charge

b) Avoid to disconect the USB cable between PC and Tablet mean while you are flashing

c) Be patient during the first START UP it spent a few minuntes.

d) Be patient during BackUp Recovery from Google, if you instal a minimal GAPPS, you will need re intall manually all app

Enjoy!!

Recommendation from Shischo for OmniROM

Please follow this steps:

Install

You will need bigPart TWRP and execute the repartitioning as described in

If updating from older ROM version in this thread, you don't have to wipe anything

If updating from an different ROM, wipe

Dalvik Cache

System

Cache

Data

Flash omni-4.4.2-201XXXXX-wingray-HOMEMADE_XXXX.zip

Flash gapps-xxxx.zip

Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip

Reboot

You can find the thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2580256

Note that you no need another boot.img, because it is been incorporated ta the OmniROM itself. again, you need just to flash the above zip files noted.

I hope it be useful.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigfridov:
Be a developer

Does not matter if the tablet is locked or not, you can be a developer doing this:

Show Developer and Performance settings

Go to the settings menu, and scroll down to "About phone." Tap it.

Scroll down to the bottom again, where you see "Build number."

Tap it seven (7) times, and *poof*, you've got the developer settings back.

I did it in my Nexus 5 locked without problem.

The question is: Did you activate the switch for the option like this screenshot attached?

Pay attention at Top Right Switch, which can be changed to ON / OFf just taping it.

I hope it can help you.

hung at OMNI logon screen

Hi, sorry if this is a duplicate post. I searched and didn't find the subject matter. I followed the OMNI steps to put the new xoom kitkat image on my xoom. Everything appeared to work just fine, followed every detail

formatted, installed the TWRP recovery and then installed the Omni 4.4.2 image. The problem I have currently is that after reboot, the xoom will not go past the OMNI login screen. I am stuck at that point. The image I loaded was the Wingray for WiFi. I did not do a partition other than hit the format as when I tried to select all the items in the advanced wipe it produced errors. After the format, I do the install and put

Omni-4.4.2-20140106-1840+0100-wingray-HOMEMADE.zip Then I did the gapps-wingray-kk-20131223.zip followed by the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip. THis did not take to long and then rebooted.

Now I am stuck on the OMNI login screen and has been hungup there for almost 15 minutes. Did I do something wrong? Please help.

Any help to get the image to work would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I am stuck

After rooting my WIFI XOOM using the second thread above last night I started fresh after work today.

I followed this guide.

1) Your data will be totally wiped! If you have Nandroids, TitaniumBackups, or anything of any value on your internal storage, copy them to your microsd or computer! They will be gone forever! Your microsd card is the only safe haven on your Xoom during this process.

2) Put all needed resources on your microsd card! You will need the original TWRP 2.6.3.0 touch recovery from [MENTION=3900214]runandhide05[/MENTION], TWRP 2.6.3.0 BigPart version, your desired rom, and the BigPart boot image that goes with your desired rom. The BigPart boot images can be found in the next section.

3) Reboot into recovery. Flash TWRP BigPart. Don't reboot just yet.

4) Go back into wipe menu and wipe everything but /sdcard.

5) Go to reboot menu and reboot into recovery. Disregard the "No OS" warning and don't install SuperSU when asked.

6) When you come back into recovery, it will think your data is encrypted but it's not. Go into wipe menu and "format data". Type "yes" when prompted. When done, go back into wipe menu. Select "Advanced Wipe". Check "system" and "cache" and wipe them.

7) Hit Home then go to reboot menu and reboot recovery. Once again, disregard "No OS" warning and don't install SuperSU when asked

8) When you come back into recovery, go into mount menu. You should see "cache" and "data" checked. "System" will be unchecked. Check it to confirm it mounts, then uncheck it. Congratulations! You are now repartitioned!

9) Go into install. Recovery should show your microsd storage by default. If not, using the navigation panel, navigate to root then go into "sdcard". Flash your rom, BigPart boot image package, and any other resources as you normally would.

10) Reboot into system. You are done!

SO here is the story. It appears that I formatted erased or whatever my SD card. I do recall Bigpart saying that it was formating my SD card as ext-4. I took my microsd card from my Xoom and I put in my Samsung galaxy 3. I used the phone setup menu to format the sd card. What format should the microsd card be? right now, if I plug my xoom into my windows PC, Windows does not see it.

I tried copying the wingay image onto the SD card while it is in my phone and windows 8 says it can copy the files

I can boot into recovery mode and there is TWRP but I have nothing on the SD card and I don't know how to get the WIngay image on there.

I am lost and I hope that somehow somebody can help

So, its nearly 10:30 PM EST and I am going to bed. Thank you in advance

Good morning,

I dug through a drawer and I found the SD to microSD adapater card so now I can format, load,wip and sing the microSD card from my tablet (my desktop PC has a SD card reader). I didn't recall that I had either the adapter or a built in SDcard reader in my desktop last night. So, perhaps all is not hopeless.

Once I know what format method to use on the microSD card I should be able to copy the Wingay rom onto the microSD card and then put it back in my XOOM.

In theory I could next load the wingay ROM and then I should have my XOOM working again.

So, in TWP bigpart which is the only thing working on my tablet now, HOW do Iformat the SD card so I can put the wingay image on it?? You can wipe an SD Card using the Bigpar, Will this work?

Unless I boot into recovery mode (waiting two seconds and pressing the volume down key) my tablet will sit for hours displaying the dual core screen. Is there any hope for me? Did I totally mess the world up? What can I do?

Well if I reboot and do not hit the volume down button my tablet will sit at the Motorola splash Screen, If I reboot and then push the Volume down button I go into the TWP where I can repeat these steps until the cows come home.

So, am I lost again? Also the is MZ607 WIFI only

Please note question in Parens on STEP 3 above.

Is there a better way?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbay:
To make it clear, just go to your current recovery, meaning just reboot and press the volume down button. In above part of your screen, it shows your current recovery version. If it shows 2.6.3.0, which i believe it does as you said it, then just flash the TWRP bigpart. The original TWRP 2.6.3.0 is only necessary when your recovery version is not 2.6.3.0 or you have different recovery. After that, just hit the home icon to go back to the main menu and do the rest of the steps.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigfootnmd:
After applying the Bigpart patch I see 'Enjoy 1GB system and 512MB Cache' So does this mean the Bigpart worked?

Next I hit home then I try to install the Wingay image

Installing '/sdcard/eos4_wingray_Bigpart_boot_image.zip'

Checking for MD5 file

Skipping Md5 check: No MD5 file found.

Eos 4 Wingray BigPart kernel upgrade

You must be already partioned to us this. If not, just reflash Eos 4

Then in blue "Sucessful"

I hit home then reboot I See 'no OS insatlled! are you sure you wish to reboot?'

I swipe to reboot I don't install the whatever root tool it is

The M dual core splash screen comes up and NOTHING happens.

So clearly something else is wrong. Maybe I need to go all the way back to where I rooted my tablet using the XDA tools and start from Scratch. Maybe a SLEDGE hammer is good idea. I really am at a loss here
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbay:
Well suicide with sledgehammer is quite painful and not really a good way to die, mate :D

Dont worry. Yes you already have root acces to the device now, proved by the TWRP. Yes the bigpart has now worked in your Xoom. The problem is you flashed the boot image only but not the ROM yet. You can see it from the name eos4_wingray_Bigpart_boot_image.zip. No wonder it says that no OS installed. Check again the step 9.

Now what you need to do is download EOS 4 ROM in the EOS 4 for wingray thread. Put it in your SD card along with the boot image, flash the rom and then the boot image from recovery as you performed previously, wipe data and cache (optional), reboot, see if the 'no OS installed' notification is there, and if it's not then let the magic begins. Please do remember that first booting may take some minutes. The sign that it really boots into the system is your screen dims out after some time in the M logo.

However, if i may add, you can try flashing ROM other than EOS 4, like Omnirom 4.4.2, since the repartition is intended for Kitkat to work. It's snappier for me than EOS 4 or even EOS 3
