[Q] Motorola Xoom Tablet 3G + WiFi needs upgraded, rooted, and unlocked

Hi there XDA community,
I would like to know if there is an up-to-day tutorial that has working file links? I would like to upgrade, root, and unlock my Xoom. I just bought a Motorola Xoom from 1saleaday.com the Model is an MZ601 and says "approved by IDA for use in Singapore" it is currently just as is and is not unlocked or rooted. I would like to get it upgraded, unlocked, and rooted so I can use it for what I got it for. It has WiFi and Data service that supports WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, ATO_ITEM: AP1520AD3X3. It is currently running on Android Honeycomb 3.0.1, build number H.6.1-38-9. If you any ideas, files, links, tutorials (up-to-day), or can help, that would be great!
Thanks InfiniteImmortal.
P.S.
Here are the configurations;
Model Number: MZ601
Android version: 3.0.1
Firmware: GAS_ASIA_USAEVRSTURTIRD_P016
Baseband version: N_014.83.28P
Baseband configuration: UCAEVEUB1B8EU034.0R
Kernel: 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1
Build Number: H.6.1-38-9
More specs will be provided if they are needs, thanks again II!

yeah, there are tons of tutorials, relatively up to date. Relatively, because the new method to root xyboards might work for classic xooms too. This method would not require you to unlock your xoom for rooting and thus allow titanium backup to backup all your data before unlocking and thus wiping your xoom.

It only took a week for me to get mine via UPS. The box came to my house sealed, it had never been opened. But I bought a new one, not a refurbished one. Hope this could help.

Okay I will go and read these threads, but are you for sure they work on the EU models? I have read on many different sites and threads that say the normal way of rooting, unlocking, and upgrading for US models have bricked the EU ones to were they did not work anymore. This is one reason why I'm looking for an up-to-date threads that say they work with the EU models. If you could clarify more that would be great.
Thanks, II

Yes, the one post I have marked with "(a post by me)" is exactly how I rooted my xoom and that is a german MZ601. And it works, no brick

That is weird. I have never read a thread about a brick that occured using the method I (and others) described. Could you maybe post a link to such a thread?
To Clarify this: the Unlock should impose absolutely no risk at all as it is a feature implemented by motorola. The recovery, even if it didn't work, wouldn't lead to a brick. And the universal xoom root should not do any magic either, it should only add two files to the filesystem (su and Superuser.apk) and remove those files that would make your new shiny recovery go byebye once booted
Ty my knowledge, only the "flashing a custom rom" part is a source of bricking. And that can easily be avoided by flashing a MZ601-rom instead of something else
That said, nobody can guarantee you that this is completely safe. There is a thread right next door with a poor guy whose xoom bricked itself overnight. That was a wifi-xoom, and so far no one knows why that happened. We're still working on a solution, though

yes, you will be able to go back to the original rom and lock your bootloader again. If you do that, you will be able to get ota updates (if you really want to do so, usually custom roms are ahead of the ota-updates)
You should make a backup of your xoom right after starting the new recovery, even before rooting. That will give you a set of files that, if you restore them, will reset your xoom back to stock, thus you'll only have to re-lock your bootloader to get ota-updates

Custom ROM Files
Hey llama-power,
You say in your thread post that "If you already downloaded your new rom, put that onto the sdcard as well, it should be a flashable .zip-file".
Do you by chance have the links to these files? I know I.C.S. is the latest one, but I'm happy with an old one if it is stable. Or if you have a custom ROM for the Xoom that would be great. I have a Samsung Captivate generation 1 that I use Firefly or Cognition on, along with the original stock ROM as backup just in case. Any links or files would be very cool!

Suggested Thread
Just to let you know your suggested thread "and maybe this [HOW TO] Motorola Xoom 2/Xyboard Root Method by Dan Rosenberg" does not work on my Xoom, but thanks for your suggestion. I'll try the other ones you put up, so far I have read every page on every linked thread I've come across. Lots and lots of helpful info on those as well as your pages. But if you can respond to my three earlier posts that would be helpful too. Starting to get information overload, haha.

Response to llama-power
Just to let you know your instructions worked like a charm! Went step-by-step and everything worked with no problems at all.
A few more question, yes I know MORE questions! haha. Where is the backup I make stored at? I would like to put it in my backups folder for the Xoom under its drive in my computer. Currently the 3G data service is still not working on it, but is recognizing AT&T network. It says "Mobile Network State: Disconnected" just like before and suggestions? Other then that I also still don't have access to the micro SD card in Android, but can access it in the Recovery.
I now think its time for a new platform, NO more Honeycomb 3.0.1! If you have any suggestions your more than welcome to say or suggest just like for the other posts!
llama-power You ROCK!
Time for me to get some sleep! Been reading and doing Xoom stuff for hours now. I'll be on later to night to read your posts!

Wow, wasn't aware of that. But these methods are really old. The method I mentioned is the universial root-method by solarnz which is supposed to work on every 'classic' xoom (despite the family edition with its locked bootloader)

I am using the team eos nightlies. Works really nicely except deep-sleep isn't working for me while wifi is enabled. Don't know if that is a rom-issue though, might be some app I use. Anyways, it's not really a problem to me, battery life is still more than sufficient.
You can get the team EOS nightlies for your xoom (MZ601 / umts_everest / EU-3G) from this thread. Download the latest nightly build and the latest G-Apps package (thats the Google Mail, Market, etc. apps) from the link in the same thread. Put those onto your sdcard and flash them from recovery. Wipe /data, /cache and dalvik-cache first, then install the rom, then the g-apps package and finally reboot. Do not reboot between the steps. When upgrading from one nightly to another omit wiping /data.

on your sdcard: $SDCARD$/clockworkmod/backup/$DATE_AND_TIME_OF_YOUR_BACKUP$. just copy that entire folder, it contains many .img-files (one for each partition) plus another file for checksums. You will need all those files for a restore. You may, however, rename the directory.

that is weird. What do you mean with "just like before"? As you haven't flashed another rom yet, nothing regarding connectivity should have changed so far.

yeah, once you flash your new rom, you should be able to access that sd-card. As stated before, you are just rooted, that gives you the power to change things but if you didn't (like installing something that is supposed to give you access to your sdcard), nothing should have changed

You are correct on this, nothing has changed from before except becoming rooted and unlocked. I was hoping that just maybe a full system wipe might fix the connection issue I was having. I was being over optimistic!

Yes airplane mode is off and Mobile data service is enabled. I have tried it with WiFi both on and off, before and after rooting and unlocking but still nothing. As for the AT&T-APN being setup correctly, I used the exact same settings that are being used in my phone with nothing different; but still to no prevail. Do you know if there is a settings list or configuration out somewhere for the APN?

Yeah I kinda guessed at that one, I remembered reading about the Honeycomb 3.1.0 update giving users the ability to use the micro SD cards today. That was before I read your post. lol You might know about this, Do you know where the repository of updates are located for the Motorola Xoom 'classic' model? I was thinking it would be a good idea to have all of them, if I ever wanted to use my warranty it would be good to have the latest stock ROM on it! It's better to be safe then up an icy creek in the Alps with a swim suit on!

Just to let you know I'm using the ROM you recommended and I love it so far. As for the data service on the AT&T network it now works, after switching to the new ROM and it loaded the proper APN settings which were different from my phone. And of course with a new ROM the SD card now works as well. So my last and final question would be as stated before where can I find the oldest most up to date stock ROM?

well, there are a couple of sources for a stock rom. For one, your sd-card should contain one (I restored my backup yesterday and yes, it even reset the recovery to stock)...
Also, motorola offers some filesystem images at http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/, but you'll need to register with them to get to the download (should be free, though)
Finally, it might be desirable to have some .sbf-file for your xoom. Those can be flashed using a software called rsd lite, even when you aren't able to enter your recovery system. Doesn't always work, so it's not more than a Hail Mary move... However, Motorola does a lot to keep these files from floating around the web, so I won't be able to provide you with a link.

As always thanks for the keen insight. Just came across a few threads that perked my interest. Have you ever tried to get working SMS text messaging and voice calling on the Xoom? Since I'm using the SIM from my phone to do the data I was hoping there might be a way. I haven't done a lot of reading on this yet but you seem to know everything.

Click to expand...

nope. The sim inside my xoom is on the same contract as the sim in my phone and I had to pick one that would receive texts. Naturally, since I always carry my phone, that's where the texts go, so the xoom wouldn't ever receive a text ever anyways. Voice calling is currently not possible on the xoom. So the only upside of that would be that I could send texts using the xoom, but that isn't so much better than texting on my Desire HD. Plus, that would tear apart the messaging threads between my phone and the xoom.
However, there's a thread in the xoom development section where flashable zip-files are published for every eos nightly, you should be able to just flash that over your rom and thus enable texting.
Actually, I might try that some time, but right now I should really learn for that exam on friday:-/

FOUND - Need 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03 India retail firmware

Hi,
I have an Indian Atrix 2. I recently rooted it and un-installed some system applications like Email and Gmail etc. using Titanium Backup without taking a backup. After doing it everything works fine but I am getting force closes every now and then with messaging app.
I am wondering if any Indian users here can post Indian Retail firmware backup so that I can update my phone back to factory state. I tried factory reset but that didn't help either.
Firmware version is 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03, android 2.3.6.
UPDATE: Download "5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip" from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
That's what I was looking for

If you tell me how, I'd be happy to help. I'm not yet rooted though.

Run the bootstrap, reboot into recovery, and make a backup.. The system image will be stored on your sd card.
This is how one would do it with the US version, hope it all works for the Indian version..
Note that this will copy your system and data in it's current state... it won't give you the stock FXZ that you are looking for.. but you might be able to get clever and grab only the stock apps you need and push them to your device..

Just thought of this, not sure if it will work - have someone with an your version of stock rooted A2 make a titanium backup of all the apps and data, then make a CWM backup as briefly described above, and get you a copy the backup file. Then, put it on your sd card in the clockworkmod/backup folder, use Titanium Backup and the "Extract from Nandroid" option. Choose the critical system apps that you need and restore (maybe the apps only, no data).
Actually, maybe you could skip the CWM part entirely and just copy the stock Titanium Backup files into your TB folder on your sd card..
Maybe somebody here knows a bit more about this? And can't you just get Gmail from the Play Store?

Thanks, been a bit busy. This is exactly how it needs to be done. I have mine rooted, so I can use CWM to restore the backup taken this way. I would really appreciate the help.
I flashed all the custom roms but all are AT&T based, have lots of restrictions, like network selection doesn't work, tethering doesn't work, *#*#4636#*#* menu doesn't work.
This could be of help to other people too. If AT&T roms work on mine than I believe there's no difference in hardware on our's or US devices, so US people can flash it too to have a real android device with no restrictions whatsoever. And if a developer can create a custom rom based on this that would be wonderful.

Will appreciate the help if you could do this for me. Its a little complicated process but once you follow the steps it is fairly easy, hardly took me 15 minutes to root. And please backup your apps after rooting with Titanium Backup and then factory reset and take a CWM backup here, that way none of your personal information will be there in backup file.
I know I am asking for something that will take some time.... I am around if you need help with any of the steps, do let me know.

Hi did Ya get wat ya had asked for - pls let me know if ya found the 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03 India retail firmware... eveN m In need Of 1

Sorry mate, I didnt find what I was looking for so I gave it to service center. And they are processing a replacement for me. But just now I found this http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
Go to your phone's settings, about phone and see if you find below information listed there:
edison_emara-user 2.3.6 5.5.1-EDEM-27 70 release-keys2012-01-20 19:57 Off.Bld LUD_EDISON_R1E_PATCH_23_120120_1943 crh1090280_M570_PC_CARD_RAINB
If I remember our is same version as above. If it is, go to above link and download "5.5.1-EDEM-27-ASIAOPS_cfc.xml.zip" and flash it using RSD Lite. And if you find it risky, just extract system.img from this zip file and go to fastboot mode (vol up+vol down and power on, select AP Fastboot) and in cmd type fastboot flash system system.img and it should flash system image only to your phone.
This should make it work, I wish I had my phone with me. Try if you are comfortable and understand the process well. Good Luck

And if you can, could you please upload a screenshot of Setting - About Phone screen here? So that I can match that information with other versions uploaded on that link, we may find retail Indian firmware, may be...

Ok guys, good news. I had a backup of my phone before giving it to service center. N I confirm that "5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip" file given at http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php is the Indian Retail Version everyone is looking for. I just matched the versions with my backup and this is exact same copy we need. So guys flash it without worries...

I am sure you can. Hardware is same. I had Indian version and when I screwed it without taking the backup, I flashed AT&T stock ROM and it worked flawlessly so Indian ROM should work on yours too. Only difference is, Indian ROM is not restrictive like AT&T, its what non carrier branded handset should have, everything works. I would suggest try it. I don't think there will be an issue, and even if you come across any issue, you still have stock AT&T FXZ/SBF to flash... So nothing to loose in my opinion.

I assume you have motorola usb drivers installed, could be found on Motorola support site easily (cant tell you the link now, at work right now).
Then just wait for firmware download to finish. Install RSD Lite and run it. Turn off your phone. Now hold Vol Up+Vol Down together and press power key, you will see 4 options, select AP Fastboot. Now connect your phone to PC using cable. Now the RSD Lite screen should show your device listed in the white blank box. After that click on "..." icon on RSD Lite and select the firmware file you downloaded. After all this, just hit the Start in RSD window and wait patiently for few minutes. Once it is done your phone will restart and boot into your new firmware. That's it... Enjoy
Do let me know if you need any further help. Right now I am planning to go home, will only be able to reply tomorrow morning hopefully.
Sorry, cant mail you right now, no access to personal email sites at work

It didn't work? Hmmm... I don't have my phone to try anything new yet, will get a replacement next week. Anyways, in my other thread here in General Section, xda Dev "cogeary" is working on a custom ROM based on Indian Retail ROM with additional features taken from Chinese ROM, like call recording, spam SMS/Call blocking. So its just few days till we start getting real good ROM's here. So keep visiting here.
Facebook, yeah. But I don't add strangers
Just kidding, will add you, though I hardly use FB, just have it to keep in touch with old friends.

[Q] Atrix 2 Telecom NZ - tried to flash JB leak, stuck on fastboot

Hi all,
First of all, I have done tons of reading and searching the past 24 hours. I cannot find a definitive solution and really want to be sure not to brick my handset.
Handset is on OTA ICS
Here's what I did:
1) Downloaded official JB leak from the thread on XDA
2) installed RSD Lite 6.1
3) Installed Motorola Device Manager
4) plugged in my Telecom NZ Atrix 2 in fastboot mode
5) opened RSD
6) ran flash with the JB leak
Then I get "Flash Failed 1/14". Now my phone boots straight into fastboot. If I hold down both vol + pwr I can select normal boot and it's all ok. Cannot reset through Recovery as it shows !android then boots back to fastboot.
From the reading I've done, this is either the wrong firmware or a driver problem (I am on Win 8 but tried on a Win 7 machine too).
It looks like I now need to flash a correct fxz for my device. I'm a bit hesitant to try flash again in case I brick for good!
2 Questions:
Why won't the JB leak work on Telecom NZ handset?
Would it be ok to flash "6.7.2_EDEM-18-MEARET" from the ICS Firmwares Superthread?
Current system version:
672.1.20.MB865.TNZ.en.NZ
4.0.4
GAS_ASIA_EDISONICSTNZ_P015
Build:
6.7.2_EDEM-20

OK... I figured out a fix
Using the script in this post I was able to restore to ICS by running the "restore to ics win" batch file inside the folder I downloaded of the 6.7.2_EDEM-18-MEARET.
Flashing with RSDLite would not work, I kept getting a cdt.bin error.
So, now I'm on OEM ICS (just not the Telecom NZ one)
Now to try get root!

So, you're phone is AT&T, not international. You can't use Jelly Bean.

Cool. Seems this will be helpful for NZ users
After a bit of playing around, I have come to the conclusion that RSDLite flashing will not work with Telecom NZ handsets. Next thing to investigate is if we can upgrade to JellyBean through a script like the above.

I have a kiwi A2 and I have successfully flashed through RSDLite every time I have used it. I've been on the JB leaks and ICS flashed with RSDLite with no issues. I think this problem occurs when the phone is flashed with a mismatched ctd file and is then tried to be overwritten again. I know it's no help for you guys now, but for all others with NZ phones, it's something to keep an eye out for.

I have a A2 from telecom, ive soft bricked my phone a lot of times and always been successful on fastbooting/RSDLite. I use a AT&T official firmware to RSDLite and once successful i root it, install bootstrap and restore nanroid backup to TelecomNZ's firmware. At the moment im running CM10(JB 4.1.2) flashed via CWM. I have never encountered any fail flashing. gilda, my system info is exactly the same as yours i guess im lucky to get a good a2.

Hi,
Thank you very much.. This helped me to restore back to ICS(MEARET) from the telecom NZ one after flash failure. Is there any batch file similar to the one used to restore back to ICS for Telecom NZ users to install JB on those mobiles? or any other way to install official JB leak? Thanks in advance.

The issue seems to be with RSD itsself. Maybe we could edit the 'restore-to-ics.bat' script to flash the JB firmware instead? I'm not particularly keen to be my own test subject but I REALLY want to try CM10 and MIUI... If I'm feeling adventurous tonight I'll give it a crack and post the results :good:

All CM10/CM10.1 based ROMs and variants can be flashed on the stock ICS kernel. Most, if not all, of them actually REQUIRE you to be on ICS before flashing including the version of MIUI found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259993
There's no need to take the risk of modifying or attempting to modify the restore-to-ics.bat script just to flash those ROMs. You just need root, Boot Menu Manager, and a little knowhow and you'll be good to go.:thumbup:

Thanks for replying, and as was quoted by u.. issue was not only with RSD.. over writing cdt fails during running that "restore-to-ics.bat" script and displays " INFO: PRE FLASH VALIDATION FAILURE". but flashing doesnt stop and skips that cdt file and proceeds to next step. Hopefully u will crack that and help many Telecom NZ usere like me. Thanks again

Downgrading
Hi,
I had the same problem. RDSLite fails on cdt.bin flashing
Seems that the problem is that RDSLite will NOT downgrade your device.
Telecom NZ OTA version is 6.7.2_EDEM-20
The fxz available online is 6.7.2_EDEM-18
This fails.
AT&T fxz is later version, and it works fine in RDSlite

Do you mean to say this which is available in firmware superthread? "InlineFlashing_Edison_67.21.125_CFC_P3_APBP.xml.zip".
Does RSDLite flashing of Telecom NZ OTA "6.7.2_EDEM-20" also works ?

I used sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php source for fxz.
There's no 6.7.2_20, only _18. That might be the leak before the final OTA.
If you can find 6.7.2_20, that should work, or use AT&T one. That worked fine on my bricked telecom mobile:
InlineFlashing_Edison_67.21.125_CFC_P3_APBP.xml.zip

J727R4 Stock firmware nonexistent?

Hmm, so I'm going to try and bring root to these devices but first I need current stock firmware. So the issue I've run into, and this is the first time I've come across something like this... is that there doesn't seem to be any stock fw downloads available online. There are some extremely sketchy websites that try to get you to pay for low_ship firmwares but I don't like that.
How do we get current stock downloads for our devices if nothing has been released? I need SM-J727R4 J727R4TYU1AQD4 stock firmware for Galaxy J7 US Cellular...
EDIT:
Managed to get this phone rooted and everything was working great. Flashfire may have borked my System partition when I was doing backups, don't know how. But now I'm bricked until I can get firmware. Sent an email to Samsung, we'll see what they say.

Do you if the phone it comes unlocked ? Im interested in getting one

Sorry, Im on US Cellular but Im not sure that it is. I dont even know how to find out.
By the way, the firmware thankfully has been released. You can find it at SAMMOBILE and samsung-firmware.

Hi. Please, if root will be done - will it also work on European languages? Well thank you.

What is your exact model number, is it SM-J727R4?

There isn't an official TWRP release for this phone, but the SMJ727P is an exact match to the SMJ727R4 in hardware. Use the TWRP for that device, wipe your data partition to remove encryption, then without rebooting flash the Magisk 14 zip for root. SuperSU works but has some problems. You will lose all your data but this is what I did and it works well.
Now that goes without saying, if things go wrong I'm not responsible.

Please help. Everything is like me, but after the SuperSU v.2.79-SR3 is introduced and the following restart is still running: Verification failed. Well thank you.

Prize. J727R4 works on the Slovak and on the network. I want to share my experience.
1. Start uninstall without restart, all 5 items (Odin3_v3.12.10) Build number: NRD90M. J727R4TYU1AQJ3. After the restart process, we select a flashlight.
2. Release the rest without restart, insert twrp_3.0.3-1_sm-j727p_17517. After we start without restart, we select the flashlight.
3.Downloads without reboot. insert J727P-SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3_rooted_boot_AQB9. after we pick the flashlight.
4. Trojhmat home, power, + set wipe-Gawlik.chase.data and select restart system in the menu. After the ratcheting and learning is the phone root and unlock.

Maybe I have to close this topic.

S8+ canadian variant (G955W) ONE UI update?

Hi, I recently came across a thread via the Samsung members app that talked about the "ONE UI" update and how to install it on s8 plus devices that end with a "W" (by CHMultimédia) (canadian variant) model code. I was wondering if anyone here has tried the method, and if so, are there any issues? bugs? How does this compare to the method already on XDA? and does this reduce battery to 80% like rooting?
Thanks

I use the G955U U1 firmware on my G955W. I don't really have any problems. Charges to 100% etc and I have the added bonus of now having the FM radio chip activated (which Bell lies about and says only Samsung can enable it).

Thank you!!! I'll try it out. I hope once the official release drops I'll be able to revert XD. In case the files don't work (for restore), is there any way I can do my own back up of the files I'd need in order to do a revert/restore to official Samsung Android 8.0?

I've been able to restore to stock without any problems. I use Super Backup Pro for my backups. Just make sure you backup to an external SD card as the internal will get wiped.

Sorry to bug you again, However I have a question in regards to restoring to stock. I'm slightly puzzled as to how to backup the required files in order to keep them to be able to revert to stock when needed, and also I do not understand how to even begin the process. I've rooted my fair share of phones, however with the s8+ everything is really quite new to me. (Currently my s8 G955W is completely stock, no root, no nothing).
Thanks

I basically do three backups (I believe in redundancy). I first backup with Superbackup Pro. With it I can backup sms, call logs, calendars, contacts and even apps. The second and third backups are done automatically but I make them do a backup NOW. These are under Settings/Cloud and accounts. First I backup to Samsungs's Cloud. I make sure everything I want backed up is turned on, then do a Sync Now. Next I back out of Samsung Cloud and pick Backup and Restore. Again there I make sure everything is turned on (except music for me as I'd fill my space too quickly. My music is backed up on my computer anyway). Lastly I pick Backup account from my Google Account. and pick "Back up now". With this I should have a good backup of everything I want.
Hope this helps.

Though I have a slight question, looking at the website there seems to be a lot of different versions, I have an unlocked s8+ with G955WVLS5BSA1, my question is since i've an unlocked variant, which file would you recommend I use in case I ever need to revert to stock? and also because my bootloader is G955WVLS5BSA1 with the CSC ver G955WOYA5BSA1 is it still possible to update to android 9.0 using this method?

You don't seem to know a lot about flashing (my impression but I could be wrong as this is text only and not person to person) Things can go wrong very quickly and you risk bricking your phone. Basically your process is to flash a US version back to CK1 (T-Mobile is the best), then do the updates as per the link you provided. THEN if you don't like the beta, you have to flash back to stock per the link I provided. Either way, in the end, you will have to flash back to stock when the official version comes out as there will NOT be a way to upgrade from the beta to the official version. Personally, I would wait till the official version comes out. It should be this month. In fact, I personally didn't like the beta version so I've flashed back to stock and will wait for the official version.
