[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
I can't get mine to randomly reboot either. The USB plug/unplug doesn't affect anything on my end.
[Xoom Android Development] funnycreature:
Looks what I wrote up a while ago. When you go to the beginning of this thread you will see that the instructions for 1.3.1 and previous have become deprecated and the best way to do it now is to flash. It's so easy when you use Clockwork Mod's ROM Manager! I know this doesn't answer your question but I'd just d/l the ROM Manager and flash!
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
FWIW, I found Kernel Manager to be even easier than ROM Manager when it came to flashing 1.4.0.
[Xoom Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
FYI I was also getting the same status 0 error in CWM, and I had busybox installed, and tried rebooting CWM and it still would not work, so I finally used KM, which at 1st got stuck at the flashing process for a few minutes, but after restarting that app, it finally install v1.4! Have not had any crashes or browser FC's, thanks BDR!
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
That weird because when I told KM to download the kernel and flash it, it took mine literally 5-10 seconds. It rebooted and I checked in the about, it said 1.4.0. Oh well, as long as your Xoom is on 1.4.0, in working condition and doesn't have the random reboot some have reported. :D

I can't install BusyBox for some reason (neither 1.17 nor 1.18). I tried to put it in since Scripter said that it's a requirement. I ran Scripter and it worked just fine without BusyBox. :confused:
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
oh ok, I was just asking if I could still do the line by line copy paste instead of flashing because when I flashed 1.3.2 with kernel manager I lost wifi...... I ended up doing it manually and it worked better.
[Xoom Android Development] jnrandall:
Donated! Thanks to BRD! :D
[Xoom Android Development] pat4714:
whats my benifit of updating to 1.4.0 if my sd card works fine and my usb connects to 32 g thumbdrive with no problems now i got soft brick before trying to backup my rom in clockwork it fomated my internal sd and got stuck in boot loop i dont think i realy need 1.4.0 if all my ports work fine in 1.3.2 after having to start from scratch getting 1.3.2 to work again was to time consuming if something goes wrong
[Xoom Android Development] z06mike:
What settings are you guys running setcpu at? For whatever reason I have not had ANY LUCK WHATSOEVER with these kernels on my Xoom. From the very first one to this latest version, I constantly have reboots. I don't want to give up on these guys and their hard work, but it just will not function for me :(.
[Xoom Android Development] joeski27:
USB host still working w/1.4.0 update?

I'm wondering if anyone can confirm that their USB host is still working as of the latest 1.4.0 Tiamat update. Mine was working before, but now when I connect my adapter to Xoom and card reader to the adapter, I get nothing. The light doesn't even come on the card reader anymore. What is also weird is when I flashed the 1.3.2 kernel the USB host still doesn't work. I know my adapter worked fine before, so it shouldn't be that. But I'm trying to get a sense of how many people confirm this still works (did see at least one person that said it did). Also looking for any thoughts as to why mine not be working anymore - very important feature for me and my Xoom, using it to back up and view images taken from my DSLR's CF card while in the field.
[Xoom Android Development] johnpwu:
I don't mean to *****, but did want to report that I'm also having some issues. I can see the sd card from my PC if I connect the USB cable, run the script, then look in explorer. However, once I unmounted the drive from my PC and tap "turn usb off", I could no longer see the sd card on my xoom. I tried rebooting, but to no avail. The card does seem to be working (if i remove it and use an adapted to connect it to my PC, it can be read without a problem), but for some reason, my xoom cannot see it (i've tried root explorer and ES file explorer. I don't have an entry for sdcard2 , or an sdcard/external.
[Xoom Android Development] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Same issue here. If you try to make a backup you probably wont be able to get past "Can't mount /data". Only way I could get "external" to show up in /sdcard was to wipe data/factory reset from CWR and make a complete backup that was able to mount /data. Reboot and "external" will show up in /sdcard. After the factory reset I didn't have "external" it was the backup I think that created the symbolic link for the folder external, allowing Xoom to see card.

USB hosting is working great for the person above.
[Xoom Android Development] theMaginator:
I'm Having this same issue.

1- I rooted via "On Click" which also gave me TIAMAT 1.3.0

2- I downloaded v1.4.0 and put it in my internal Memory

3-Got CWM by downloading and installing ROM Manager and then having it flash recovery

4-Rebooted into recovery to flash v1.4.0 from the sdcard and it gave me the error mentioned above about not finding the sdcard

5-I tried to do it via kernal manager.

6. It said I needed to make sure I had busybox installed.

7- Downloaded BusyBox from market and installed

8- Tried Kernal Manager again seemed like it worked but upon reboot I checked "about tablet" and it still says v1.3.0

What can I do? Could I do it via adb? How?

Thank You guys so much

BY the way I don't have a real sdcard anyway
[Xoom Android Development] Psychokitty:
I can see the new directory, "external", both on my, computer as well as with Root Explorer, which now contains what used to be the contents of the "sdcard2" folder. That folder is now empty.

However, I can't see the root directory on my computer.
[Xoom Android Development] JeffR714:
Just wanted to get back to bigrushdog and say thanks I got rid of my MZ600 Verizon model and picked up the Wiring Zoom (don't ask its a long story) and I've had no reboots at all great work on the Zoom and thanks
[Xoom Android Development] coolkid893:
you need to install 1.3.2 with one click for the xoom to find the sdcard once you have 1.3.2 installed flashed then put the 1.4.0 in the sdcard2 folder an then boot into cmw you should see it to flash

to install 1.3.2 using once click just download 1.3.2 files extract them an put them all (take the files out of the folder to not drop the folders in !)in the tiamat folder in the once click file first erase all the old files (if you have the wifi version also erase all the old an put the same files in the wifi folder "if you dont do this it will not flash" )
[Xoom Android Development] Psychokitty:
Edit: This happens on two XP machines. Also, permissions are all enabled on the root sd, according to Root Explorer.

I also forgot to thank the dog team!:D
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
Are we supposed to get rid of the 'sdcard2' folder and only use 'external' now? I have a similar symptom as others where I can no longer see "Xoom" on my PC upon plugging in a USB cable. When I plug in the cable and run the script, all I can see now is my external microSD.
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
This is weird and I am not sure why this happened or if it is happening with others but everything was working great, I could drag and drop files whenever I wanted just by plugging in my xoon to my laptop.

Well, I saw the empty sdcard2 folder on my xoom and since it was emtpy, I thought I could delete it... so I did. Once I did that, I could not get my xoom to show up in my Laptop without running the script and showing as mass storage. So I went back and added the sdcard2 folder back in the /sdcard and booom, now it shows back up as Device Storage.

Anyone know why this would happen?

For everyone else, I wouldn't delete your sdcard2 folder... it doesn't hurt to leave it there. :)
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
I just flashed to Cyb's 1.4.0. It took a while to boot up. I'm still exploring it. I'll report back here (since it doesn't have its own thread) if I find anything worth mentioning.

Edit: I guess I should have thoroughly played around with BRD's 1.4.0 first so that at least I would have a basis for comparison. Well, with Cyb's 1.4.0, I noticed I can see the Xoom folder again once I plug in my USB cable. Another thing I noticed is that the 'external' folder doesn't seem to correspond to my external SD. I dropped a random text file in my 'sdcard2' folder and checked the "Removable Drive" (the one that pops up after running the script) to see if the text file was there... no. I then dropped the text file in the 'external' folder and did the same check... still no text file, but both contains the clockworkmod folder. Finally, I dropped the text file in the drive and then checked both 'sdcard2' and 'external'... no cigar. I'll try these tests again and check in between reboots.
[Xoom Android Development] jlutsky:
Compass Not Working

After flashing 1.4.0 my compass seems to be totally unresponsive. I think it's actually been that way since 1.3.0 Has anyone else experienced this? Wifi Xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] volta:
Hi all,

Now that I can post to the dev forum, I just want to draw attention to a problem I had installing 1.4.0. Hope this isn't breaking any forum rules.

I have a thread in General with a guy graciously helping out, but just wanted to link it here to raise visibility with the devs. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1050910

I got stuck installing, so took the advice of using Kernel Manager, and now the Wifi radio is broken, and the Tablet thinks it's still running 1.3.0 as far as I can tell.

Thanks in advance.
[Xoom Android Development] theMaginator:
Thank you for the help coolkid893. I as able to flash 1.3.2 via the oneclick. However I am lost with the rest. First the sdacrd2 folder was not in the root directory and when I go to CWM it still gives m the same problem about no sdcard.

Also Wifi is broken.

P.S. I do have the Verizon Xoom. And I am willing to go back to stock and do everything step by step.
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
To add to my test above, I've learned that transferred files onto your external card won't display under the 'external' folder unless you reboot. A little disappointing. I'll try going back to BRD's 1.4.0 and see if it's the same.

Edit: Yup, BRD's 1.4.0 is identical to Cyb's. Aside from the change log/description, the USB behavior is the same, no fixes on the quirks. I honestly miss the way my workflow was with 1.3.2 so I'm going back and staying away from 1.4.0 until the 'external' content is completely in sync with the SD card. It would be a hassle for me (it might not be so for others) because I use my external SD to transport files between computers out of habit.

Edit 2: Ahhh... back to 1.3.2. :) My folder is the familiar 'sdcard2' once again. Flipping between desktops is fast and smooth once again and my SD card no longer has a split personality (no reboot required). I do miss the script, though, even though the Scripter need ATK to kill it after I eject the drive.

I'll be patiently awaiting for the next revision. In the meantime 1.3.2 is just way more convenient for me.
[Xoom Android Development] Hexbug:
Agreed!!!!
[Xoom Android Development] Archimago:
Still on 1.3.2. Compass responsive though it's not quite accurate for me.
[Xoom Android Development] lokko21:
I have few questions...

How do I go back to 1.3.2..?? Just flashing it back to that one or I have to ADB it...??? Will my files from external will be erased or will not be touched and manually move to sdcard2...??

Thanks I find more stable 1.3.2, 1.4.0 doesn't play nice transferring files or sometimes reading some files from external nor internal.

Thanks any help will be really helpful.
[Xoom Android Development] Psychokitty:
Yep, back to 1.3.2 for me.
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
Just flash it using Kernel Manager. The files in my external/SD card just copied over to my sdcard2 folder. Nothing wqs deleted.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
After a short period of debate and further testing, I have decided to eliminate Mass Storage from the Tiamat Xoom Kernel. First, it seems to contribute to a more unstable experience. Second, it is not really necessary since you can plug your Xoom into almost any computer and access both internal and external storage though MTP. Third, if you were really in a bind, you could use your OTG cable and a USB stick to transfer files. At this point, I think it is fair to say that we have full SD card functionality. Therefore, I will no longer be making any kind of file structure changes or path changes in the kernels. Also, I think I found why we all were getting that stupid "Status 0 Error" when flashing in CWM. I will release another kernel shortly reverting Mass Storage and adding support for an insane amount of file systems.

On a personal note, XDA users want to be on the cutting edge of development. That means we all take the good with the bad. We try new things. And if they work, awesome. If not, then we try something else. Remember, development of the Tegra platform is just barely getting started. This is not the same as a mature .37 Evo kernel. There have been speed bumps along the way, and I assure you, there will be more. If I release a bunk kernel, just flash to the last good one. Then kindly let me know what your experience was. If i release a smoking fast kernel, let me know as well. Now that the whole sdcard thing has passed, I can now focus on speed and stability. Thank you for understanding.

BTW, custom roms are just around the corner ;)
[Xoom Android Development] cat2115:
Bigrushdog: Thank you for all your hard work. If you remove Mass storage from the tiamat, will the wifi xoom still see my microsd card? currently i use automount, and so far it's going good besides i have to reboot my wifi xoom in order for pc and xoom to see the files in both place (external and microSd card). I have no problem with that.

2nd, is there anyway i can see my music in microSD card when clicking on music icon? or any apps that go into my microSD? the same for picture and video?

3rd, how can i make microSD card as a default folder when taking picture or video from the xoom? example, when i take picture or video it automatically save to MicroSD card.

Again thank you.
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
I'm a little sad to hear this, but your decision is sound. I was really looking forward to being able to mount/dismount my SD card and use it more than just as a backup storage slash file transporter from office to home (I always lose flash drives). But like I said, your decision makes sense so now I look forward to faster and more stable releases.

First of all, BRD, thank you. Second, you need not explain yourself to us. Your work is much appreciated as well as the other devs. If you release one update that a handful out of hundreds aren't satisfied with, everyone would still be still indebted to you. I'll do my best to report back in your thread (here or elsewhere). As long as I have free time, I'm your tester.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Yes. The Xooms ability to use the SD card is here to stay. Ihave not used automount so I'm not sure. Ill buy it if it does. As of 1.3.2 all media on SD is visible to Android. Your 3rd question is something I've fought with for a while. It is very easy to do. However, Android will not see media on your internal storage. The reasons are complex. Bottom line is this all these issues can not be adequately addressed until Honeycomb source is released.
[Xoom Android Development] akodoreign:
Exactly... Don't mind people, in general 99% of us love your work. Other developers fell into this trap of the unhappy 1% and left xda. you just keep plugging along knowing that a majority are loving your work :D
[Xoom Android Development] TaIz82:
I flashed 1.4.0 and my wifi xoom do not have any problem at all...thx for your hardwork BRD...looking forward for your next update ;)
[Xoom Android Development] cat2115:
Thanks!.. Currently i'm on tiamat 1.4.0 using Kernel Manager to install. So far automount is free. just a lil bug, need to reboot to see files after the transfer. w/o reboot, you only see one side.

When i plug to pc, usb debug enable, both xoom and microSD will pop up. example, xoom be in E drive and MicroSD will be in F drive. if i put files in MicroSD, xoom external folder will not show that transfer file until i reboot. vice versa

so if i understand correctly, there's no music apps that will see my music or video from microSD card? and i cannot use microSD as a default folder for pic/video taken? i have to manually transfer?

Oh when I use Kernel Manager, I saw 3 tiamat. 1st is 1.3.2 by you, 2nd is 1.4.0 by you, and the 3rd 1.4.0 by i guess cyberton (sorry if i spell the dev wrong id). I do not know that third person is so I just install the 1.4.0 by you.

Kernel Version

BRD,

I'm new to the community, but thanks for everything you and the rest of the devs do. It's really astounding how many mods you guys have released for the plethora of devices.

Here's a low priority ask which would help the noobies like myself :D

Is there a list of what ought to appear in "Kernel Version" through Settings-->About Tablet?

I flashed 1.4.0 using Kernel Manager yesterday, and the main artifact showed "%v-1.3.0%".

I just reverted to 1.3.1 to fix the wifi radio I botched, and it also appears as some "%v-1.3.0%" permutation.

I'm pretty confident I *actually* am running 1.3.1 now, as the stuff I broke is now working once more, but is there an easy sanity check to confirm the running kernel, either through the HC UI or ADB?

Thanks!

EDIT: all figured out now. Thanks to all for your help!

Please note: the 1.4.0 kernel install through Kernel Manager is bunk! At least as of last night! This is why the kernel string showed up incorrectly and the wifi radio was broken. I highly recommend doing things "the long way" through ADB/CWM.
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
OP just do what you think is the best we'll follow, everyone knows you are a good OP and will do what's best for us. Keep up the good work.
[Xoom Android Development] andr0id23:
While reading the first sentence, I became a little bummed out. However, after continuing to read, you make some great points, and at the end of the day we really aren't losing any functionality. We are all here because we like to mod, hack, rom, theme, and customize our devices, and many of us take it pretty seriously. So while it may be kinda sad to see USB mass storage on the back burner for now, I want to again bring up your points about accessing our SD card(SD cards YOU gave us). We can access them several ways so even if it may seem like we are losing a battle here, we are not, and we are definitely winning the war. I respect the decisions you make, this one included. You have done nothing but good for us Xoom owners, and I'm sure this is no exception.

So let's not dwell on what we don't have, but rather all the great things we do have. BigRushDog, you alone(with the help of many others :D ), have done great things with the Xoom, and obviously are continuing to do so. We have root, an unlocked bootloader, some rad, fast and stable kernels, SD support, and more. When the roms hit, we will be golden. So, again, BigRushDog, I thank you on behalf of myself and the Xoom, Android and hacker communities. I am going to make a donation right now :) My Xoom runs great thanks to you, and I want to see you continue to work on it.
[Xoom Android Development] robbiev80:
Is there any way we can get the indicator light to work while the Xoom is charging while it's turned on?

Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] theMaginator:
Thank you for all your work BRD. Now I don't have to worry about flashing 1.4.0 since I could not figure out how to do it anyway.
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
My charging indicator stays white even with the device on and turns green when full. I'm charging it as I type.
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
i get zero lights except for the very faint notification light on the top right of the xoom...
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
yeah no lights here either since updating to 1.4.0

except for the white notification light, no lights for charging.
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
you rock man. 1.3.2 is great. Sticking to it until you release a 1.4.0 copy without mass storage but with the hidden L2 cache unlocked :p

Speedy speedy. Makes me wanna wipe my N1 and start using custom kernels there too (still using stock on N1)
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
no no, me it's in general. stock xoom, 1.1.6, 1.3.1, 1.3.2 .... same thing

xoom light features are not exactly "WOW"
[Xoom Android Development] Xezuka:
Freaking awesome! Keeps getting better and better!
[Xoom Android Development] volta:
I had the same problem, but was able to un-do it.

What did you do to get stuck? For me, the Honeycomb dashpage kept coming up... I did a hard reboot (volUp+Power). It loaded the OS fine but without wifi as you said.

I then had to reactivate the device to get 3G, but it worked. From there, I followed these instructions to the T and got stuff up and running again.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13207949&postcount=10

I'm now on 4.0 with no issues.
[Xoom Android Development] johnpwu:
Well, after having issues with 1.4.0, i decided to revert back to 1.3.2. I flashed it, it appears to have flashed successfully (and hey, my charging light is back), BUT, I don't have any access to my sd card. I have no sdcard2 folder, nor any apparent means of accessing my sd card. Would definitely appreciate any tips. Thanks

Edit: I thought that I would try making an sdcard2 folder, then try flashing 1.3.2 again. Oddly enough, once I had flashed again, the sdcard2 folder was gone, and I still can't access the sd card from the device. Very odd.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Add it yourself with root explorer. Sdcard/sdcard2. Reboot
[Xoom Android Development] cat2115:
Use Kernel Manager to flash then use auto mount - all from the market. I'm in 1.4.0 and microSD working working. Only disadv is you need to reboot your xoom once you transfer all files. But i have no problem in rebooting as long microsd and xoom see each other. :)
[Xoom Android Development] joeski27:
Mine only does this with the 1.3.2 version, but when I bumped up to 1.4.0 it went away. Then flashed back to 1.3.2 and it was back, staying lit while charging and turned on. The kernel clearly changed something no doubt about it.
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Brd already said the charging light is controled by the kernel. He turned it on in 1.3.2, and back off in 1.4.0.

Sent from my PC36100
[Xoom Android Development] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I replied to you in post 1321. Have you made a backup? Can you make a buckup or do you get an error saying "Can't mount /data"? If you dont do a complete backup which stores in clockworkmod folder on SD card then there is no path for the os to recognize SD card.

I had this issue with 1.4 and was not able to create a folder "external" and have it display sdcard contents like I was able to create "sdcard2" with 1.3. Only by wiping data and completeing a backup would "external" show up in /sdcard with 1.4. I think this is because I never did a backup with any kernel version.
[Xoom Android Development] Psychokitty:
BRD, I don't see how anybody in their right mind could be unhappy with your work! Trying out new stuff is half the fun, and as long as there are developers as generous as you, I'm definitely going to try whatever you develop.

Guys like you should never feel unappreciated.

Also, it's a demonstration of maturity as developer to know when to stop chasing something that doesn't want to work yet and move on. It shows you're doing this for others, not just for you.
[Xoom Android Development] JeffR714:
Since I got rid of my MZ600 and got the Wifi Motorola X oom I have not had a reboot or anything like the problems I was experiencing with the MZ600 Its a shame the mass storage thing didn't work out I finally got things going right but this dev has done wonders and I personally can't wait to see where he goes from here.
