I have tried to wipe via clockworkmod recovery, via standard recovery and I've tried erase all partitions via fastboot.

It's annoying because sometimes I get into Android, to the first setup screen where I should choose language, but the device becomes unresponsive and I have to reboot it. Then I cant get in again.

I have tried following the instructions on the Motodev site. So Im all out of ideas.

VPN not working after upgrading

Anybody got VPN working? I upgraded to 2.0.0 kernel and 3.2, but now VPN connections doesn't connect to my VPN anymore. It was working under kernel 1.4.4 and HC 3.1. Did I miss something?
[Xoom Android Development] tutech:
What's your VPN server's software?
[Xoom Android Development] champers:
I haven't looked through this thread in a week or so. Has the random rebooting with various wifi settings been fixed?
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Not that I know of...still happens on 3.2 also.

I'm running HC 3.1. And tiamat 1.4.3

What would be best to flash?
[Xoom Android Development] philly0128:
wow there's alot of thread here, I've been reading through alot and doing some google search. I just got my xoom and rooted it to 3.2 running with stock kernal. everytime I try to change it to Tiamat 1.4.2, 1.4.3, 1.4.4 or 2.0 it's all hanging on the boot screen and not going anywhere. Is there any other kernals I can try or Tiamat the only one?
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
If you are on 3.2 rooted you can install the Katana kernel (this thread) or the new Manta Ray rom. If your hanging or bootlooping you either got a bad download or else you probably need to do a wipe user data/factory reset in CWM recovery. You should have the 3.2.0.0 R4c recovery installed. The other Tiamat kernels you listed are not compatible with HC3.2. Make sure that you have downloaded the right file to flash and that it's the right size.

Good luck!
[Xoom Android Development] madshad:
so pardon the noobness,I'm on 2.0.1 Manta ray, which comes with this kernel (I think) and I've got the correct recovery in place(3.2.0.0 rc4)

My question is how are you guys overclocking? Are you using setCPU or is there a kernel version to support each overclocking step? Or is it built into my current setup and I'm just missing it? Thanks in advance
[Xoom Android Development] StrifeSoldierVII:
SetCPU all the way man. It's been the best in it's class for well over a year now. Go with it for sure. It has everything you could ever need when you are underclocking or overclocking your devices.
[Xoom Android Development] ccossin:
I'm interested in this as well.
[Xoom Android Development] prowlex:
hey guys...

hey guys im using nofrills on 1.4.4 on 3.1 honeycomb. what setting do you use for the overclock? performance, ondemand, interactive, conservative, userspace?
[Xoom Android Development] Steady Hawkin:
Depends on what your looking for. I find interactive to be the perfect blend of speed and battery performance.
[Xoom Android Development] CARLITOZ18:
hi

hi guys im just wanna overclock my xoom im stock rooted i can flast this kernal for my xoom stock rooted????
[Xoom Android Development] Steady Hawkin:
Are you stock rooted 3.2?
[Xoom Android Development] shakuyi:
any chance we can get the new kernel from the ROM in here, i would love to have the fast boot time! i just dont want to reformat my xoom its a pain!
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
The 2.0 Rom does not contain a new kernel.
[Xoom Android Development] dobber81:
Great job on this kernel! Hope to see an update soon because of the random rebbots though.

Using US Xoom wifi. Just wiped everything and reflashed 2.0 and the 2.0.1 rom. still same problem. Kernel 2.0.
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
Known issue...set your wifi sleep policy to Never, and the random reboots should stop.
[Xoom Android Development] razorbladex401:
I've tried loading both v2.0.0 oc and stock but neither of them seem to flash. I tried it using CWM 3.2.0.0R4C and CWM 4.0.0.4. I'm running stock 3.2. Any ideas?
[Xoom Android Development] jadenkc:
Stuck at Dual Core Technology Screen.

I recently flashed the 2.0 Tiamat kernal over the 1.4.3 Tiamat. After doing so my xoom is stuck on the "Dual Core Technology" screen. How do I go about getting my xoom to boot or at least getting into recovery mode? I have tried holding the up volume and power. It turns off the screen and then goes back the dual core screen. While in this screen I am not able to get my computer to see my xoom when I try running the adb devices command. Any help would be appreciated.
[Xoom Android Development] kavehmz:
i have a 3.2 rom and kernel 2. My vpn works fine.
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
If I'm not mistaken, the Tiamat 2.0 Katana kernel is for those who already updated to Honeycomb 3.2. You must have still been on HC3.1 to have that 1.4.3 Tiamat kernel.That is why you are stuck.

Not to be mean, but I think you didn't do your homework before taking this step. Reading the instructions for flashing the Katana kernel it very very clearly says that it's for HC3.2 only.

You also need to practice getting into recovery:

1) Volume up and power will power off and power on your Xoom. That takes you to the Dual Core screen.

2) Once the Dual Core screen comes on, wait about 3 seconds and press volume down--then you should see Android Recovery in the top left corner of your screen.

3) Then press volume up again and that should take you to the CWM recovery menu.

If you don't have a backup to restore, (and you always should!) you should do a complete wipe (user data/factory reset/cache partitions) and then try to flash the Tiamat Rom 1.1 (which is for HC3.1). If that's successful, I believe that you can then flash the Tiamat Manta Ray Rom directly over that, which will give you your update to 3.2, preserve your root, and contains a kernel so you don't have to flash another one. If I'm wrong about this...someone, please correct me.

If that doesn't work, you may need to flash stock images. There is a lot of guidance in these forum about how and when to do these things...it's very helpful to know how to find your answers from the huge amount of info in these forums.
[Xoom Android Development] McDV:
I'm having the following problem:

I have installed CWM 4.0.0.4 via ROM Manager on my rooted XOOM and now want to install the Tiamat Kernel.

I can flash the ZIP in CWM without problems, no failures are reported etc., but flashing is much too fast and after rebooting I find that nothing has been written to SYSTEM. So there is still the old kernel... What can I do against that?
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
wrong version of cwm. see the cwm thread.
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
kev0153 is 100% right. You need to re-install the Tiamat version 3.2.0.0 R4c from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074979

The v.4.0.0.4 is not compatible with the micro sdcard.
[Xoom Android Development] sheikh it:
Thank you

I've had several android phones but have never rooted or done anything like this before. I decided I would give it a go as my xoom felt super sluggish compared to my brothers asus :( The walk through and the forums have been such a big help - I was able to do it in just over one hour. A big thank you to everyone who has posted helpful information on these threads and a big thank you to bigrushdog for all his work.

My xoom is super quick now :)
[Xoom Android Development] davidsos:
If your not using the Hammerhead ROM and Tachi Kernel, then you're not using the latest stuff.

You're posting to the Katana thread which is why I stated this. Also, read up and find the sweet spot for overclocking your Xoom, you might get it to run faster.
[Xoom Android Development] sheikh it:
Thanks, for that i had no idea was I was doing initially so decided on the Katana as on the post it had some instructions. Now I kinda know what I'm doing I will defo look into this. Thanks for the help :) much appreciated :)
[Xoom Android Development] davidsos:
You can use the setCPU app to control overclocking. Do not check the "set on boot" checkbox until you're certain that the clock frequency you pick is stable or you can get stuck in a boot and crash scenario. The setCPU app has some stress tests that can be helpful in determining this.
[Xoom Android Development] AspenMan:
Lovin' it - best kernel yet!! Thanks!!!
[Xoom Android Development] rockhumper:
You should try their new one....this had been obsolete for a bit
[Xoom Android Development] DroidVPN:
Could you please post the link to their new one :)

It is called odachI I do not have a link copied, but if you search developmentsection it's easy to find
[Xoom Android Development] kaos420:
im on tiamat 1.1.0 for miui for some reason when ever i flash the asop kernel . it works fantastic. but it breaks something. i cant move apps to other panels after with this kernel. i flash stock kernel i can move them again. any ideas? other wise its a fantastic kernel.
[Xoom Android Development] rockhumper:
I don't think you can use this kernel on such an old rom
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
Try posting in the thread for your device. This is for the motorola xoom, not the EVO3D.
[Xoom Android Development] epakrat75:
Potentially stupid question: Does this kernel support the WiFi version and also allow overclocking of that version?

Have been holding off on rooting my WiFi only XOOM because I haven't seen much point to it yet as compared to my SGS Phone which was rooted immediately. First it was OC capable, and then was able to act as USB Host and now the External SD Storage available...this may push me over the edge. ;)
[Xoom Android Development] :
yeah it does support wifi version! :)

happy flashing!
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
Quick question, does Roebeet USB hosting hack still work? I haven't gotten hold of the correct OTG cable yet so not able to test.
[Xoom Android Development] :
yeah it still workings, im using mine right now haha :O
[Xoom Android Development] dadoc04:
cant wait to get home and flash this.... BRD, THANK YOU SIR!!
[Xoom Android Development] bignadad:
New SD support works great! Had no problems.

Quick note: Its not hot swappable.. Had to insert card then reboot to see contents...

Not sure if it should be or not, just saying :)
[Xoom Android Development] :
yeah that is what we all are having to do. !! we need to get brd workin at moto so he can show them up lmao
[Xoom Android Development] funnycreature:
Although I agree that Moto should hire his skills to push development forward, WE would lose a critical member! I'm sure he'd have to sign lots of nondisclosure agreements and keep is mouth shut! :\
[Xoom Android Development] :
Yeah didn't think bout that...lame legal crap
[Xoom Android Development] eaglecomm:
Bummer.. isn't working for me. :( Maybe it's something else I have already done that's keeping it from working. I even tried it twice. I think the files copied fine because the LED while plugged in and turned on is working.. and I see the sdcard2 folder. But I don't see anything in the folder.

I formatted the microSD in my computer using FAT32. Then copied an apk file to it (and I can put it back in and still see it in the computer). But when I navigate to the folder it is blank. I can try to copy to it.. but it doesn't copy. No error.. just no copy.

I also have the card in prior to booting to make sure (as well as have rebooted with the card IN multiple times.. no luck). Thoughts?

Its a rooted Wifi Xoom which had an earlier Tiamat kernel with the USB Host Mode. I also did the NTFS Mount solution, but I umount_force'd that just in case. Will wait to see if anyone else that did the NTFS mount work on a wifi gets theirs working.
[Xoom Android Development] zorack8000:
you need to reboot when u put the sdcard in for it to show up
[Xoom Android Development] Aaron636r:
Bad day to leave my XOOM at home and not bring it in the office with me. Test tonight.

Thanks guys!!
[Xoom Android Development] dubie76:
Is it possible to have just the SD card support files compiled into a flashable package that doesnt have all the kernel tweaks? I want to stay stock and have sd card support.

Stop bein a wuss and root your xoom all ready
[Xoom Android Development] dimitri407:
AMEN! Just follow the simple steps to unlock and root and flash new kernel. Or come to Orlando and I will do it for you.
[Xoom Android Development] sevenvt:
Take a walk on the wild side. Run the one button root, see how easy it works, gain some familiarity with ADB, push some files back and forth, in the end it will be worth the experience and the ability and comfort to run these adb and fastboot commands will give you overclock and sd card.

Of course perhaps some day in the future you will have a recovery service that will flash a zip, but that future aint now.

[Xoom Android Development] kenhunt:
Haaaelppp

Ok i'm not a total ADB Noob but not an expert either...I have the most up to date moto drivers installed and the newest adb...i can reboot into the bootloader but once it gets to do the fastboot stuff the xoom isn't recognized by my adb anymore, am i having a mental brain fart or block? Any insight is appreciated!!! :confused:
[Xoom Android Development] johnpwu:
Thanks for the reply. I'm assuming you just mean doing step 3 again?

Edit: I went ahead and repeated step 3 again. No luck.
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
When your in fastboot you flash the boot img then you reboot and when your device gets back to your lockscreen you push the remaining files via adb
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
I hate to ask but is there a way anyone of the experts make a video or dumb down the directions for those of us that do not want to brick the xoom please, and thank you!
[Xoom Android Development] jkurl:
for some reason when i reboot into bootloader and try to flash the boot.img i get waiting for device. anyone got any ideas.
[Xoom Android Development] blusgtone:
Im getting that also?
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
Make sure the fastboot protocol support is showing on your xoom then type fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Xoom Android Development] jkurl:
damn been a long day and why must my xoom deny me sdcard support now. sorry paul. thought those comments were directed at me.
[Xoom Android Development] Crazypinoy9:
so I rebooted into the bootloader and its stuck at "starting fastboot protocol support." How do I get out of that? it's been 10 mins already it should've loaded already for me to flash the boot img
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
When you're in fastboot you're suppose to fastboot flash boot boot.img then reboot your device by typing fastboot reboot
[Xoom Android Development] Crazypinoy9:
First of all thank you for the quick response.

I have tried that already but it keeps telling me that "fastboot" is unrecognized? Did I forget to do something? I feel like a noob right now...I thought I had a handle on this since I've done this before but I guess I was wrong. LOL!

Edit: So just for the sake of doing it I checked to see if my xoom was still attached and the list of attached devices is blank.

2nd Edit: HAHAHA! I'm an idiot...I didn't even think to just hold vol up and power to reboot and start over. LOL!
[Xoom Android Development] johnpwu:
Are you getting an error "'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command..."?
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
Make sure in the command prompt that you are in the same directory as your fastboot and adb
[Xoom Android Development] Crazypinoy9:
good call! that's what I was missing.
[Xoom Android Development] johnpwu:
Solved - Wifi "Error"

I was able to clear this issue up by uninstalling the android sdk and reinstalling it, then going through the steps again.
[Xoom Android Development] jkurl:
Anyone got any ideas. My files are in the correct spot. never ran into waiting for device. I did my nexus s the other day and flashed my xoom when version 1.1.5 came out.

I even rebooted my computer and the xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the 3.0 sdk or make sure the your files are in the same directory as your fastboot or adb that's most likely the issue
[Xoom Android Development] z06mike:
Has anyone else had problems with this kernel? I have tried over and over to no avail. All it does it crash, freeze, force close, and reboot. :mad:
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
Are you overclocked to 1. 5 if so try lowering it
[Xoom Android Development] castle972:
So now im lear how to flash but is it possible to overclock the xoom after install this kernel? for me the xoom a the motorola splash. Anyone can help me?
[Xoom Android Development] johnpwu:
Worked for me
[Xoom Android Development] :
for what adb? instructions are on the first page of the thread.

if looking for adb just search adb on the forum.
[Xoom Android Development] jkurl:
I am going to install the sdk on my mac. I am using a windows VM so sometimes it gets a little screwy.

I checked and all the files were in the right spot. Hopefully my sdk on my mac will work and no more boot into a windows VM to do adb commands.

to lazy to figure out the mac side until now. whe things stop working it is kind of funny how motivated someone gets.
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
Probably been asked but there's a lot of pages of fighting nonsense...flashing this kernel over the previous one... does it erase all data and return the xoom to factory?

I used the one-click approach posted one thread down...

Thanks for the development!

I have flashed new kernel and adb pushed all files successfully. I have sdcard2 listed in root explorer. However, I cannot write to or read from the card. I get no errors on xoom and any files on the SD card (loaded with PC) do not show up in the xoom. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

EDIT** Never mind. Rebooted and its working great. Thanks for this!!!!!
[Xoom Android Development] eaglecomm:
The update isn't working for me. Should there be any issue with flashing back to the 1.1.6 kernel FROM 1.3.0?

Same for me....
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Not aslong as you replace all files.
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
Same issue with me. I've successfully pushed all the files and I'm showing "Tiamat 1.3.0" in settings->About. I see "Sdcard2" in root explorer.

I've powered off after inserting microSD and powering back on. In my sdcard2 folder I do not see the same files as I do when the same card is mounted on my PC. Also when I try to copy/paste a file within my xoom using root explorer it won't copy. Doesn't give me an error, just won't copy.

Looks like both eaglecomm and jase33 are having the same issues... hmmmm, any ideas?
[Xoom Android Development] jgrizz:
Adb push worked perfect. Access to files on SD card or transferring files to SD card no worky.
[Xoom Android Development] RMXO:
I'm going to do this update when I get home from work later. Did you guys put in SDCARD2 after the update or you can put it in before flashing the kernel?
[Xoom Android Development] eaglecomm:
For those having issues... here are some things I have tried and what it seems to be doing.

In root explorer, if I mount R/W for the / (root) directory.. then I can copy documents in to the sdcard2 directory... and out of the directory.

I still can't see the document that I copied on to the flash card from my computer (an .apk file).

I can copy a file in to the sdcard2 folder from my sdcard folder, then copy that sdcard2 file out to a different directory, then open it.. and it works. But I can't open any files residing in the sdcard2 directory. If I open a word doc.. I get access denied (permissions). Yes the sdcard2 folder is R/W and the document is full r/w: rwxrwxrwx.

Just for those trying to test. Still haven't figured out the rest.
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
I just copied a file from data/app to sdcard2, and sdcard 1 to sdcard2. Both open, both can be moved back out. Not sure whats going on. Also using root explorer. Make sure you are putting the sdcard in while its off, or rebooting, they are NOT HOTSWAPPABLE.
