Trying to get my SD Card recognized in 1.4.2

From all that I've read it appears I may have missed a step: I originally rooted with One Step, then when it appared last week, I used Taimat 1.3.2 following the 3-step approach -- everything seemed to work. Today, with the arrival of Tiamat 1.4.2 I followed the procedure and installed that -- was glad to get the overclock capability back, but my sd card is not recognized except when I use the ROM Mgr recovery feature. It seems that some who have gone this route are able to see their sd card ad sd card 2 or sd card external (like I did originally in Tiamat 1.3.2). Should I run bootloader_patch or perhaps start over, going back to Tiamat 1.3.x??? ....or is this a limitation of the Honeycomb 3.1 even with BRD's excellent work??
[Xoom Android Development] hurdler307:
any one else had issues installing? I came from 1.4.1 and installed clockwork then installed the boot files and the new kernel files and now I'm stuck at the motorola screen. Did I have to do a wipe first?
[Xoom Android Development] wsuo2006:
/mnt/usbOTG ?
[Xoom Android Development] bjarnia:
This is what the instructions say:

1.4.1 is HC 3.0.1
[Xoom Android Development] zonk7ate9:
Thanks BRD, as always excellent work. Glad I decided to check the forums before I headed off to work, this made my day. I didn't realize that I actually needed the OC to play Final Fantasy IX via psx4droid (runs terribly laggy at stock speed and didn't wanna turn GFX down). Quadrant scores at 4100+ OC'd @ 1.6GHz.
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
I made the mistake earlier and flashed the wrong boot files and experienced the same thing. Make sure you're flashing the right ones.

Try formatting the sd card using this
[Xoom Android Development] le_pere_noel:
one more time thks a lot you're kernel works perfect :)
[Xoom Android Development] hoola20055:
I am kinda. The xoom sees the usbOTG once maybe 2 times. Then it doesn't see anything until I reboot. Then it will see attached drives again once or twice. Then I have to reboot again.
[Xoom Android Development] Hexbug:
Is this really true?? Because I have not yet installed CPU Tuner (same as SetCPU), and the System Info in Quadrant shows "Current" as 1600! ? I am confused now about this kernel.
[Xoom Android Development] hurdler307:
thanks I will now have to use the search button to figure a way to restore now. Lol
[Xoom Android Development] Hexbug:
I got 4065 at 1.6GHz, WITHOUT SetCPU or CPUTuner! woohoo!

Uh-oh, just found that Market is crashing on me though!!! :/
[Xoom Android Development] dscribe:
Yep. I just did some checking here and after uninstalling setCPU completely I am still getting 1.4 GHz according to both Quadrant and System Panel and just ran a 3505 Quadrant score.

UPDATE: Further testing is giving me some mixed results but it is still looking like you can get 1.4 GHz without a CPU setting program.

UPDATE 2: After restarting the xoom, the system frequency definitely went back to 1 GHz. I think I'm done playing with it.
[Xoom Android Development] Hexbug:
Anyone else having crashes after installing the 1.6GHz??? I just had Market crash a few times while scrolling around.. :(
[Xoom Android Development] dscribe:
Looks like you might need to drop back to his 1.4 GHz kernel.
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
Usually that's how it works. I'm running SetCPU so haven't tried without it.
[Xoom Android Development] Hexbug:
Yeah might have to try the 1.4. Very strange! It just became totally unresponsive and wouldn't even turn off until I held the volume/power keys. Now after a reboot, I am getting crappy Quadrant scores -- like 2700! I am totally stumped here!! I think I will switch to the 1.4GHz.

I am assuming I can just flash 1.4 over 1.6, correct?
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
Yes you can
[Xoom Android Development] ericdabbs:
Question to those that installed 1.4.2

I have quick question for those that installed the 1.6 Ghz kernel and 1.4 Ghz kernel.

1) Does the 1.6 Ghz kernel contain frequency settings like the original tiamat kernel from 1.4.1 earlier. What I mean is does the 1.6 ghz kernel contain the original frequencies such as (1000 Mhz, 1200 Mhz, 1400 Mhz and 1504 Mhz) in addition to the 1600 Mhz setting?

2) For the 1.4 Ghz kernel, I take it that it only contains 1000 Mhz, 1200 Mhz, and 1400 Mhz? I know there are frequencies under 1000 Mhz but I am not talking about those.
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
I can answer for the 1.6Ghz kernel, it has settings for 1000, 1200, 1400 and 1600. No 1504 setting.
[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
And I can say the 1.4 kernel has 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4.

Flashing Image & Kernel with Stock 3.1 HC

My XOOM was recently replaced and upon its activation, it updated all the way to 3.1. With this in mind, the only thing 'missing' at this point is an active SDcard slot. Am I correct in assuming that in order to acquire such functionality, the following steps would be needed? :

1) Unlock and root XOOM

2) Flash appropriate image and then appropriate kernel

3) Enjoy SDcard slot, overclocking and the other fun things that the new kernel provide.

If I am in error, please let me know. The last 4 days have been pure hell getting my replacement XOOM - an experience I'll share in the appropriate forum. I NEVER want to have to do that again!! I'm being even more careful than usual now.

Thanks in advance my loving XOOM family. :)
[Xoom Android Development] matguard:
From experience with both my gTablet, Xoom, Atrix and Nook, I would add:

Step 0.5)Setup ADB and secure recovery images from Motorola. Make sure you can sucessfully use Fastboot to do both.

Step 1.5)Setup/Replace/Flash recovery with Clockworkmod 3.0.2.8

Good luck and enjoy!
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
I would add step 0.4) get windows drivers from Moto.
[Xoom Android Development] MrGinger:
I was having apps such as the market and browser closing with no force closure message box with the 1.6 kernel running at full speed so I swapped out for the 1.4GHz kernel, again, at full speed

BRD, if you set each kernel to run at 1.4 is there any difference, or rather, if you are going to run at that speed is there a reason not to do it with the 1.6 enabled kernel?

Thanks in advance
[Xoom Android Development] brucewilsonpa:
Thanks - saw that suggestion on another thread and tried it but hasn't helped.
[Xoom Android Development] bjarnia:
fwiw I've been running at 1.6ghz all day and no force closes. Also did a few stress tests in Setcpu (~1 minute long) and had no errors.
[Xoom Android Development] flombs:
Human error on my behalf, BRD really couldn't of made it any more simpler for guys like me.

I overlooked the boot images section, and just flashed to 1.4.2 from 1.4.1 without a hitch with HC3.1 installed on rooted wifi xoom. My External SDcard is working fine.

Could I just flash the missing Boot image that I didn't apply, and reflash kernal 1.4.2 again? And does it matter which boot image I choose for my wifi xoom, or, is it just a matter of preference?

Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] chbennett:
As painless as always. From the time I saw there was a tiamat update until the time it was flashed and running again was under 10 minutes. Thanks BRD.
[Xoom Android Development] dowenprs:
Been running the 1.6 kernel for about an hour now, so far perfect, smooth as silk, and just fantastic. Thank you so much, this is the way it should have been shipped out as!

[Xoom Android Development] viss:
Bigrushdog - thank you for all your hard work. I truly appreciate what you have done. Your kernels keep my hardware running smoothly.

I have a question - Im part of the information security community and I've got backtrack5 installed on my xoom. There are a couple things I'm curious to see if are possible to start including in your kernels - please let me know if these are something that are even feasible for this platform:

- layer2 traffic handling: the xoom is unable to send custom arp traffic (at least, the backtrack chroot isnt..)

- wifi monitor mode or injection capability: for use in auditing wireless security, the interface needs to be able to send and receive raw 802.11 frames.

Both of these are mods to kernel modules.

I Just flashed up to the 1.4.2 with the 3g charge light on bootloader. So far so good!
[Xoom Android Development] robbiev80:
My Xoom just rebooted by itself...a picture of Andy (the Android) came up and it's asking me for a password. I entered the only password I know could be correct (my gmail account) but it says it's wrong!

WTF

Anybody else having this issue?

UPDATE: Got into fastboot. My buddy Scourge1024 told me to do a fastboot -w or take it back to Future Shop.

So opted for the fastboot command. I erased the userdata and now it's working again. Sucks I had to do a factory reset though.
[Xoom Android Development] ryan562:
every thing seems to be running great so far although battery life seems to take a big hit--which is to be expected when overclocking!

thanks again BRD for your hard work!

btw, are we to expect some UV kernels down the line to save battery life?
[Xoom Android Development] Nathanjb7:
Does installing a new boot image wipe the xoom?
[Xoom Android Development] phouse1025:
Awesome job BRD as always, 1.6 and smooth as glass. But will we get to see the scalable widgets? My brother has a wifi xoom bought the same time as me and hasnt rooted and got the OTA for 3.1 and even he doesnt have it, does anyone know what happened with this option? Otherwise thanks again BRD for another job well done.
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
1.6 ghz is running very smoothly. Nice work!!!
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
The re-sizeable widgets are there. Long press your widget and let go, you can then adjust size.
[Xoom Android Development] bjarnia:
YEah but it's only on stock Widgets, alot of people seem to thinking that all Widgets would be scalable.
[Xoom Android Development] TsaiKimon:
It only works for scrolling list Widgets stock or other..IE calendar, email, bookmark type Widgets that scroll.
[Xoom Android Development] 07aspenx:
I don't think it's due to this kernal since Pandora has been FC'ing on my xoom and my droid x. I even uninstalled and reinstalled but the same problem so I just removed it and installed Jango instead
[Xoom Android Development] 07aspenx:
duplicate post.
[Xoom Android Development] tribalb:
the scalable widgets are the widgets that came with the xoom. ie: bookmarks,calender. kinda ghey if you ask me if you cant change the other widget sizes. guess its still a work in progress.
[Xoom Android Development] risq:
my Xoom is not running how I'd expect it to on 1.4GHz. I'm only getting 2100 on quadrent. Any reason why this may be?

Can any assist. I'm on 3.1 so its as it should be. Hmmm very odd!

Just trying out the 1.6GHz version.
[Xoom Android Development] mbroeders:
Did you flash the appropriate boot image first?
[Xoom Android Development] antiochasylum:
Edit: I was ninja'd

And as long as the Xoom runs fine does it really need to benchmark high?
[Xoom Android Development] flombs:
if you skipped the boot image and flashed the kernal, can you just reflash again?
[Xoom Android Development] mbroeders:
Yes, just flash boot image and then kernel again. No problem...

thanks so much for your reply.

It is not going to just overclock by itself. Use a CPU clock setting app (such as setCPU) to clock it up.

No, with these boot images it doesn't.

[Xoom Android Development] lrs421:
If you don't have a nandroid you need to reload the factory image. Not sure if you can just reload the correct boot image in fastboot, perhaps someone else can chime in.

OK.....I'm not that dumb lol. It was just the fact I missed the boot.Img. Got that on now and get 4000 on quadrent with the 1.4GHz. Sorted.

3G Xoom Can't access SDCard from HC 3.1 Tiamat 1.4.2 -Clockwork 3.0.2.8 sees the card

I went from Tiamat 1.1.6 installed via adb to Tiamat 1.4.2 installed via Clockwork 3.0.2.8 and I cannot see the external SDCard on my 3G Xoom.

Steps I took:

1) Started at Honeycomb 3.0.1 with Tiamat 1.1.6

2) Installed CW 3.0.2.8 via adb

3) Flashed Honeycomb 3.1 via CW per instructions (SDCard is seen in CW)

a. Flashed New Recovery

b. Flashed HC 3.1

c. Flashed Bootloader Patch

d. Flashed Updated Boot.img (for 3G Xoom)

e. Performed Wipe Data/Factory Reset

f. Performed reboot and verified successful install of HC 3.1

4) Flashed Tiamat 1.4.2 per instructions via CW (SDCard is seen in CW)

a. Flashed 3G Boot image with light off

b. Flashed 1.4.2 1600 Kernel

c. Rebooted and verified new Kernel. Used SetCPU to clock at 1,600 Mhz

I still can't see the SDCard as either /mnt/sdcard/external or /mnt/sdcard2 using Root Explorer, Astro or EStrongs. I reformated the card using XP SP2. I then tried to format via my Droid and finally SD Formatter. I reboot between each format. Nothing works. My SD Card is a Sandisk 16GB. I also tried to use the Sandisk 32GB from my OG Droid which I know is a good card. CW sees it on the Xoom; but HC 3.1 doesn't. I have tried having USB Debug On and Off...no difference. I reflashed the 3G light off Boot image followed by reflashing Tiamat 1.4.2 with no result.

Could the problem be that I went directly from 1.1.6 to 1.4.2 without any interim update? It is weird to me that CW sees the card but HC 3.1 won't.

Thank you for your help.
[Xoom Android Development] Mr Bland:
A couple of days ago I put the "light on when on" image and the 1.6 oc kernel and every runs beautifully... except, about twice a day my xoom randomly reboots. I performed stress tests in setcpu with no errors over several minutes, the temp. Reading hasn't been above 92 f. I cut back the overclock to 1.4, and I'm still getting these random resets. My Xoom is under goes heavy usage, games, browsing, reading, movies, streaming, no problems except for the resets. Any ideas? I really want to keep the 1.6 kernel as long as I'm not damaging anything.

Edit: I have a wifi only Xoom
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
No it doesn't matter, once you upgraded to 3.1 it clears the Tiamat kernel.

Can you see /sdcard/external? If not, try creating it and rebooting.

AFAIK, there are other people having this same issue.

[Xoom Android Development] robert_ayala:
No I was on 3.0 now u can't boot beyond the m logo.
[Xoom Android Development] teo91:
Personally I have not done in that order. I did:

1-Instal Tiamat 1.1.6

2-Instal Tiamat 1.4.0 (without this I could not see the sd)

3-Instal Tiamat 1.4.1 (there was no further 1.4.2)

4-Instal update zip (HC3.1)

5-Instal Tiamat 1.4.2 (yesterday evening)

Everything works perfectly. Initially no SD, a forumer told me to go from 1.1.6 to 1.4.0 and after 1.4.1. And then my miracle was recognized sd :)

By cons is it possible to switch the system from FAT32 to NTFS system for SDCARD? NTFS the card is not recognized:confused:

As suggested, I created the new folder, /sdcard/external, and rebooted...no joy :(

To verify I confirmed via my PC card reader that there were already existing files on the card. I also copied a file to /sdcard/external but it didn't end up on the card, just in the new folder.

Thank you for your attempt to help and thank you in advance for any other suggestions.

Another thought: To access my corporate Exchange account, I had to encrypt and password protect my Xoom. Could the encryption prevent access to an external SDCard? Note that Clockwork 3.0.2.8 can see the SDCard.
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
Have you tried formatting your SD card in another Android device?
[Xoom Android Development] jfourman:
I have tried three methods of formatting and rebooted the Xoom each time to test with no positive result.

My XP SP2 PC

SD Formatter software that was suggested by another poster.

Getting "push: not Found" after flashing root31.img

Sorry I am stuck and even after reading and reading and reading and trying for a few hours I am not getting anywhere.

I was on Tiamat 1.4.1 before the 3.1 update came out. 3.1 came out and instead of waiting for BigRushDogs install package for 3.1 I went ahead and put back on the HR166 Boot.img and system.img so I could install the over the air 3.1 update.zip sucessfully. The 3.1 update.zip installed fine I lost root and everything was good. I heard I could root again afterward so I wasn't concerned. I assumed that I was basically at "stock" except that I have already done the "OEM Unlock" command.

Now I want to get root again and put the new 1.4.2 kernel on (mainly so I can overclock again). Everything I have read would lead me to believe I can just flash root31.img and then copy in su and superuser.apk and change the permission to get root back again. And with root get the ability to put the ClockWorkMod recovery back on and then from there install the 1.4.2 kernal etc.

I can do the adb reboot recovery just fine and I can do the fastboot flash boot root31.img with no problems. I can even do the "adb remount" without errors But when I try to copy back in su using the "adb shell push su /system/bin" I get the "push: not found". Of course i verified I do in fact have the su file in the correct directory, and dealing with the push command in adb enough I know that the error can also mean that you don't have permissions to write the file to the destination and well as it can't find the source file to copy.

What are my options?

1. Go completely back to stock image using rsd lite, start over...

2. Reissue the "Fastboot OEM UNLOCK" command again. Then root31.img ....

3. Flash a different .img file?

Oh and no i didn't have the clock speed set high either, checked that right after turning it on after work and it was set to "stock" speeds.

Another note: I just successfully executed a Clockwork Backup to the SDcard. I then put the card into my PC card reader and the Clockwork backup was on the card. It appears just that the 3G Boot Image and Tiamat 1.4.2 kernal didn't work to add visibility to the SDCard in HC 3.1.
