I am getting the same behavior as you. For those who are having success reading/writing, what type of microSD card are you using? Brand? High capacity? etc.

Also, I noticed that my custom bootanimation is looping like 6-7 times on a reboot, not sure if this is related or not.
[Xoom Android Development] eaglecomm:
Yeah, not sure. It has been powered off and on quite a few times today. :o the card now stays in permanently.

Also using a custom boot animation.. though it works fine.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
You can copy the tiamat files in the one click root to the new ones and run one click root and it will update to 1.3 without adb
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
To everyone having problems try this:

Open terminal

Su enter

Mount enter

You should see this:

export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$su

# mount

Bunch of crap then this line

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sdcard2 vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0

[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
Well lookie here.... I swapped out another microSD card and I can finally see the contents of sdcard2 in root explorer. I can also successfully copy/page into sdcard2 as well.
[Xoom Android Development] eaglecomm:
Maybe its the type of sdcard then. :( I don't have another one to test.

BW... here is my mount.

[Xoom Android Development] nindoja:
To everyone having issues. Do what bwcorvus suggested above and make sure it shows up in the mount command.

Also, make sure you didn't accidentally format the sd card as something other than FAT32 or EXT{2,3,4}
[Xoom Android Development] nindoja:
It isn't mounting properly for you. This means either the card is busted or maybe formatted improperly.
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Your card isn't being mounted, you are missing sdcard2 line completely. I would try another card, make sure its fat32(i think it has to be). I formated mine in my evo before putting it in, its scandisk 8gb class 4.
[Xoom Android Development] nindoja:
Those of you that are having issues mounting the card, can you post the output of dmesg to pastebin and link it here?
[Xoom Android Development] philly fan:
Yeah I tried replacing the tiamat files in the zip into the tiamat folder from one click root but after everything is done it still says 1.1.6 not 1.3.0
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
converted one click root to tiamat 1.3

here is a link to download one click root program with tiamat 1.3 sd card works with this enjoy

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SXKVMHEF

if you do the one click method you will delete your datat if you re unlock the boot loader. however you can get around this

start 1 click when it boots into the agreement decline it vol+ vol- and manually reset device power and vol + after this the step where the boot image is flashed happens and no data will be lost

just an fyi

stevenge gave me the idea to do this hope it helps
[Xoom Android Development] funnycreature:
I don't know if I am just lucky or others are not. I had NO TROUBLE WHATSOEVER with the SD card. Well, the biggest issue was getting the place holder out...

I watched a DVD res movie from SD with no problems. All files there and working after reboot. I think I'll make a beer donation to BRD!
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Yes me to I would like to donate maybe he will put a link to donate?
[Xoom Android Development] funnycreature:
This is the link from his profile:

Donate to BRD
[Xoom Android Development] eaglecomm:
Can post the full dmesg later.. but here is a section that is probably causing my trouble..

FAT: Filesystem error (dev mmcblk0p1)

fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 0)

FAT: Filesystem has been set read-only.

That continues to repeat after a little bit and then a steady stream of it until the dmesg finishes.

I am guessing it is specific to my sdcard... its a 16Gb Adata Class 6.. I formatted it in my Samsung Captivate phone (and also on my Win7 machine) and both those devices see it fine. So it seems to be something specific to my xoom.

Like I said.. if I enable R/W on root. I can copy files to it... just have issues reading them. Is there a way through terminal that I could try to format it while in the Xoom? Maybe then it would format properly and be seen?
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Are you sure the card is formated fat32? I actually formated mine in my evo.
[Xoom Android Development] jkurl:
I will have to try the one click method. I can't get mine to work once i do adb reboot bootloader. Just sets on that screen and will say waiting for device. The mac sdk id a fresh install. Mabe my xoom is screwed up or my dumbass is just screwing it up. I would put all my money on the screwing it up some how. I just hooked up my nexus s with no problem the other day. Anyone got any ideas besided one click root. I want the adb option to still work.
[Xoom Android Development] eaglecomm:
Yeah... pretty sure the Captivate is formatting in FAT32 and definitely sure Win7 is doing it in FAT32 as I made sure of it. Doing a lengthier format now (instead of Quick Format) to see if it wipes it any better. Will also run Error Checking from Win7 to see if it picks up any bad sectors etc.
[Xoom Android Development] whitlecj:
Would one of you advanced users mind posting install instructions for either OSX or Ubuntu? I don't have a windows box. Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] n0-0ne:
this is awesome, thanks so much.

Is there any chance could lead to clockwork or similar recovery?
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Ubuntu is the same as windows, just use terminal instead of command prompt.
[Xoom Android Development] ejlax:
do not just flash the zImage...puts you to the RSD 3 mode...kinda fun to get out of too ;) Gives you a bit of a heart rate jump

@bigrush, what is the size of your zImage that you actually flashed? the one for the OC is like >8mb the zImage contained in this folder is >2mb
[Xoom Android Development] lokko21:
Will try when I get home from work, looking forward to more my Xoom.

Thanks to everyone involved.

Evo Better Than The Best...
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Just some clarification. Cayniarb was not aware that on the Xoom, we must flash the entire boot.img, not just the zImage as you can on other devices. Inside the download from the OP, there are 3 files. One is the boot.img which you can flash according to the instructions a few posts up. Also, there are 2 required modules which must be pushed to /system/lib/modules.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Hey, I opened a thread about RSD 3 mode a couple days ago. Scary hah?
[Xoom Android Development] AndroidFileHost:
Can you redo the flashing instruction with the new info you got. Which one to flash and which ones to push etc.
[Xoom Android Development] Cayniarb:
My bad and sorry for the confusion on that one. I posted up the link completely forgetting that the Xoom is still sans recovery. XDA has been being funky with links today, but BRD is working to get that taken care of.
[Xoom Android Development] ejlax:
Yeah it was a little more fun than i wanted, just got worried when i couldn't get to the 'bootloader' to flash back my kernel...i added to your thread with my findings, as they were slightly different.
[Xoom Android Development] bimori:
So is it necessary to wipe befor installing this kernel??
[Xoom Android Development] ejlax:
No...once we get the actual boot.img, we should be able to just adb into the bootloader, and then flash the boot.img
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
No, besides you couldn't wipe if you wanted to. We don't have recovery yet :p
[Xoom Android Development] jkurl:
I wanna put this on so bad but I don't want to take the chance of Moto not holding up their end of the bargin and giving us 4G LTE upgrade.
[Xoom Android Development] Elysian893:
Finally loaded it, 3011 on Quadrant, same as with the other 1.5ghz kernel, most excellent. Interested in seeing how the smartass governor compares to interactive, battery wise.
[Xoom Android Development] ejlax:
Tried running this, as soon as i click on the smartass governor the damn thing locks up...i can run peformance at 1504 no problem with coolbho3000's kernel but it seems like i can't keep it stable on this kernel...any voltage changes?

any chance someone saved their original scsi_wait_scan.ko? I didn't make a back up...whoopsie...

EDIT: So i think i noticed my issue, i was using a charging profile from a previous kernel...i reflashed the kernel, turned the charging profile off and things seem to be running better...I also have a screen off profile that i am interested in testing to see if that kills it...any recommendations on screen off profiles? yay? nay?
[Xoom Android Development] robocellkid:
I'm stuck at part 2. i'm confused... sorry I am a noob but i don't know how to flash a boot image. thanks for the help
[Xoom Android Development] Cayniarb:
There is screen off downclocking built in to the Smartass governor.
[Xoom Android Development] ejlax:
wonderful. Thanks for the update! so far it is running like an kenyan marathoner...long and fast
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
ive been running it since midnight last night and ive had no issues or lock ups at all *knock on wood* im looking forward to future updates
[Xoom Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Any chance of porting the kernel over to the atrix 4g?
[Xoom Android Development] czonin:
Can anyone post some Linpack scores?
[Xoom Android Development] destroyerbmx:
57-60 mflops for me
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Email me your sdcard...
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
Great, that is literally the same microSD I ordered off of Newegg earlier today :(

Hope I have better results..
[Xoom Android Development] PengLord:
Missing from the change log, it seems that the new kernel enabled the charge LED when powered on or locked.
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
That was around for 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 he just forgot to about it lol
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
If I rooted the first time using this method, are you saying I can just run the file again and it should update to 1.3? I don't have to go back to stock before running the one click again?

Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] eaglecomm:
Ha! :D Maybe I could fax it to you? :cool:
[Xoom Android Development] eaglecomm:
Oh well.. Full format from Win7 plus error checking afterwards (came out clean) and still doesn't like it. Bummer.. will have to find another sdcard to try out in the future. Thanks for everyone's help.

b0ricua - hope you have better luck with your new one from NewEgg.
[Xoom Android Development] NeutronBomb:
Does this work for the wifi xoom? If so, which files do I replace? All of them or just the boot.img?
[Xoom Android Development] PengLord:
Is there a full change log someplace then?
[Xoom Android Development] NeutronBomb:
Hey does this work for the wifi xoom? I ran this but it didn't update my kernal, still said like 1.16 or something like that.

Lexar 32 microsd

hi guys,

i flashed 1.3 and my Lexar 32gb class 10 card came up as SDCard2 in root explorer!

my question is, what is the best way to format it for honeycomb? should i just pop it in my N1 and format from Amon Ra recovery? If so, should I format to ext2, ext3 or 4?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
No I didn't have to
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
You might have to replace the tiamat files with the wifiroot files then run again. I ran it for 3g a d worked perfectly
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
The xoom can see fat32/ext2/ext3/and ext4 out the box. I formated mine in amon ra on my evo.
[Xoom Android Development] :
this is completely off topic but just wanted to say GO NOLES bhahahah

sorry yal!
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
HAHA thanks did it work for you?
[Xoom Android Development] whitlecj:
I got the kernel installed with my mac, but I can't seem to push the modules. I adb remounted and used the following command

./adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

I get this:

failed to copy 'bcm4329.ko' to '/system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko': Read-only file system

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
[Xoom Android Development] crazifyngers:
type 'adb remount' then you can push them
[Xoom Android Development] whitlecj:
yep. That did the trick. Thanks.

Massive Reboots

I tried to do this five times 3 before the sdcard breakthrough and no matter what I get reboots and have to go back to stock!! I get it up and running and go to download something from the market and the xoom reboots I can't get it stable I want to use this kernel but I can't I'm following the install directions to the letter can someone please help me??
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
I'm just telling you it was on his old kernel that didn't go public due to bootloops and he forgotvto please people like you by putting in the changelog
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
I have to run at 1400 mhz I get reboot on 1500
[Xoom Android Development] Gwartan:
First off a big TY to the Dev! I believe i have a working SD-Slot, but i wanted to double check the mount using terminal. Which terminal app are you guys using? The google one is force closing when I try to run it?

On a side note. i checked the Xoom's built in SD management and it only shows the internal 32GB storage and not the SD slot.
[Xoom Android Development] robbiev80:
Worked perfectly on my wifi xoom!! Not sure if its just me but the gallery and music app don't list the files in my sdcard...I can still see them using a file manager. Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
The sd management doesn't show the sdcard if you really want to know just use any file manager and look for the sdcard2 folder
[Xoom Android Development] RMXO:
I ran it from the link you posted & in my tablet still shows 1.1.6.

which files do i replace?
[Xoom Android Development] codeman05:
So...is anyone having an issue mounting the Xoom under windows after flashing the new kernel...or am I mentally challenged?

On the Xoom, I can see both SDcard mounts fine, can access and move files no problem.

Using ADB, I can also see both SDcards.

However, when I plug the Xoom into my PC now, I get nothing when trying to access the file system.

I see the Xoom in "My Computer", it even tells me I have 20GB free, but double-clicking on the Xoom either results in windows explorer freezing up, or an empty folder.

Uninstalled/Reinstalled the motorola drivers...no go...

solved

Nevermind...looks like my USB cable was flaking out.

Tryed another and now everything is showing up correctly...
[Xoom Android Development] Gwartan:
i am able to get mine to show the internal storage only atm. let me reboot and report back.
[Xoom Android Development] codeman05:
Yea, I can't even get that now...guess I'll try a reflash

edit:

Nevermind...looks like my USB cable was flaking out.

Tryed another and now everything is showing up correctly...
[Xoom Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
formatted or partitioned? ... in AmonRa?

i partitioned the whole card to ext2 and then tried to convert to ext3 and got an error, so i'm just gonna format in win7 first and then try to repartition it in Amon Ra again
[Xoom Android Development] Gwartan:
hmmm i still can only see the internal storage in winbloze.
[Xoom Android Development] jkurl:
I wish I could part take in this but I cannot get fastboot to work for **** for me. I get stuck at stating RSD protocol and terminal telling me waiting for device. It is weird. gonna wipe and reinstall SDK.
[Xoom Android Development] blackte4:
omg.... I can't wait to root my xoom... Thank y'all so much for getting the sdcrd slot working..... 64gb here I come......
[Xoom Android Development] Gwartan:
What steps are you taking exactly. What i did:

DL the 1.3.0 kernel .zip

opened it then copied all the files to the android-sdk\platform-tools dir (this includes the original fastboot.exe i had from flashing 1.1.6)

Do not leave the directories, copy just the files.

I opened CMD (as admin) then navigated to the platform tools dir.

From there I just followed the instructions on page 1 using the new boot.img.

Only problem i had was the 1st command as i had to enter a missing -

1. Reboot into the bootloader by running:

adb reboot-bootloader
[Xoom Android Development] robbiev80:
You've made my day BRD!

Thanks

[Xoom Android Development] robbiev80:
Are you using Linux or Windows? fastboot wouldnt work for me in Ubuntu so I had to do it on my win7 box.
[Xoom Android Development] jkurl:
I have tried both windows and a mac. neither one. for some reason when I to the fastboot portion it just sets on starting RSD protocol and won't go any further. i am still on the kernel version 1.1.5. I never went to version 1.1.6

It still should work. I wonder if when i had my atrix it installed some crap. This should work as I just rooted my Nexus s the other day.
[Xoom Android Development] ericdabbs:
So I downloaded the 1.30 tiamat kernel and flashed it fine and confirmed the kernel version via "About Tablet" in settings.

I am able to confirm via Root Explorer that there is an sdcard2 folder and I am able to access see the contents of my microsd card so I know I flashed it correctly.

My only question is, are you suppose to be able to see an entry called "Sd card" under Settings -> Storage? I was kinda hoping to see this. Can anyone confirm this for me? If I am suppose to see this, then what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
[Xoom Android Development] robbiev80:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/goo...aiting-device-trying-unlock-bootloader-2.html

See if you can reinstall the USB drivers for the Xoom. Hope this helps.
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
That's exactly the part we need from Google (and presumably why the slot wasn't officially set up to begin with). We need them to either release the HC source so we can do it ourselves, or do it then send the update to Moto for them to release it.
[Xoom Android Development] jkurl:
robbie,

I got it. I had to uninstall the SDK and reinstall it and worked like a champ. Should have doen this earlier but I was being stubborn as the mac sdk should have worked.

Thanks for you willingness to help.

Edit: just test SDcard and bam good to go. Up and running thanks to all the devs for making this happen.
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
I know you guys hear this all the time but thank you for all your efforts in making the xoom better than even its makers could!
[Xoom Android Development] ericdabbs:
This sounds like its intended for now that you are not suppose to be able to see anything under settings->storage. Hopefully google releases an official update soon as well as the honeycomb source for more development.

I just can't wait until the incremental updates are released and also Android Ice Cream which should tie the tablet, smartphone, and tv applications together into a single code base.
[Xoom Android Development] RMXO:
Thanks a bunch. Got mine to work after following the directions from the 1st page.

Is this correct when I access "Device Storage" in Windows Explorer, it shows 32GB but when I access it, I only see whats in SDCARD? Forgive my noobness & search doesn't work right now.
[Xoom Android Development] robbiev80:
Glad you got it working! No worries man...that's what the community is all about! :D
[Xoom Android Development] hm1b:
I think I have done everything right ...now I can see sdcard2.

But I have no access to that sdcard2 it can not be read nor I can write anything to it. I have tried diffrent sd cards to make sure it is not from my sd cards. I still can't use the sdcards...please help...what should i do ?
[Xoom Android Development] RMXO:
I'm still a noob but what permissions do you see for SDCARD2 in root explorer?

I see SDCARD2 as rwxrwxrwx. If not have you tried changing the permission to 777 (rwxrwxrwx)?
[Xoom Android Development] ryan562:

Dear bigrushdog,

Hi RMXO and Friends

I did a reboot...now I can read from SD but cannot write to it....I looked at permissions it shows (rwxrwxrwx) I thought to look at permissions any way and a message pops out says; sdcard2 permissions cannot be changed because the file system is read-only.

Any help I would really appreciate it to be able to write and read. Also, How do you overclock or change speed? there is no program to allow this action...or should I download somthing addtional?
[Xoom Android Development] PengLord:
No need to get snarky, if there isn't a full change log, just reply "no". When it comes to replacing fundamental code, it's nice to have a full change log. I'm not demanding it or *****ing about "There's no changlog". I just thought he might have another site, not linked in the OP, that hosts the full log.

Also, if you don't know the answer, don't reply. I'm sure, he'll get around to updating the OP eventually (after all the people that can't read the instructions are don't bugging him).
[Xoom Android Development] philly fan:
I had teh same problem you had first make sure the system is R/W up top it should say mount R/W and tehn right click on sdcard2 and select delete reboot xoom and when it comes back up you will see card and it is writeable

[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
Very cool but it seems like just a "proof of concept" at this point. I haven't played with it very much but it doesn't look the os can make use of the card. I put a movie on SDCARD2 and I don't see it in the gallery even after forcing an update to the media files. I was going to try moving some music to it but I'm afraid I'll see the same thing. Am I missing something?
[Xoom Android Development] Squeak22:
There is a full changelog on the github. If you really need to see everything, that's where to go.

[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
I don't have my xoom in front of me. Is it possible to use symbolic links from SDCARD2 media to SDCARD?
[Xoom Android Development] hm1b:
"philly fan" thank you problom solved with your help.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Yes that is very possible and will be shortly. And yes, SD is sorta proof of concept at this point

With the symlink in place media should be seen by gallery. Also on the list is fix hot swap and enable USB mass storage. Jeez guys... I need a break lol :p :p :p
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
I appreciate your work and I hope my post didn't come off negative, if that is how it was received then I apologize :). I didn't mean it that way. It is a very very impressive kernel. I was more or less thinking out loud ;)
