I have the Tiamat kernel with 3.1 on my US WiFi Xoom.
What is involved in getting the 3.2 update? Do i need to wait for the next version of Tiamat that supports 3.2, or can i upgrade normally and keep Tiamat/root?
Xoom is my first android device, so im not sure on how it all works.
in order to upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2 your gonna have to return to a stock kernel, and rom. Afaik, tiamats kernel does not work with 3.2 yet. But rest assured there will be new kernels for 3.2 soon
Thanks eliteone.
Does that mean if my Xoom says there is an update i should ignore it? Or will it not even detect the update?

You probably won't see the update notification since you're on Tiamat.
If you do see it you should ignore it.

Thanks to both of you. Will just wait till the Tiamat kernel supports 3.2.
The current Clockwork update-able 3.2 ffor WiFi will install over a 3.1 with the Tiamet Kernel and will replace the kernel with the stock one. So basically you end up with a stock system that is rooted. I wasn't running their custom ROM, just the custom kernel and the V05 update went flawless.

I had the same setup, and my xoom looped on the boot animation after i flashed. I had to do a factory reset/wipe data from CWM to get my xoom to boot properly. So now I'm reinstalling all my apps and settings.
I tried to flash the tiamat 2.0 yesterday, but my com then just froze at the dual corenscreen. I reflashed the old 1.4.5 tiamat and its back to normal now.
How exactly do I upgrade to 3.2 from 3.1 with tiamat 1.4.5? Its all way too confusing.

Copy to your external sd card and rename it update.zip, boot into CWM recovery, wipe user data/factory reset, wipe cache, flash update.zip and reboot. It should work. You could also flash the new Tiamat Katana kernel 2.0 which is only for Honeycomb 3.2 after that.
Good luck!

I am on Tiamat, and just got the 3.2 update notification on my wi-fi only Xoom! I was very surprised since I am on Tiamat, plus removed a ton of "bloatware". I am just ignoring the notification every time it pops up. I suspect if I do go w/ it though, that it will fail... ? Anyone get that far to find out?? lol
I have a dumb question....do you HAVE to use an external microsdhc card to flash updates? You can't use the internal 32GB '/sdcard' ???
I am using CWM 4.0.0.4 and it seems to read the updates and install, but when i reboot nothing has happened....
Also, the ROM install appears to finish in about 5 seconds, way too short for something that is 100MB...

No (I need to create a macro, or cut and paste, I've said this so many times) you really need an external microsd card and you need to install the Tiamat CWM Recovery R4c 3.2.0.0. That's the one that works with the external micro sdcard and works with the Tiamat kernels and roms. The 4.x.x.x. version does not see your micro sdcard and won't flash anything to your Xoom.

Download the kernel of your choice and one of the two boot images for Verizon 3G. Reports in the thread say it works just fine for Euro 3G as well.
Put both the new kernel and the boot image on your external SD card. Flash the new boot image and then the new kernel in CWM, then reboot. That is all there is to it.
many thanks thats helped quite a bit, one more thing though, it says boot image is for android 3.1 only, the uk xooms have 3.0.1.
I am looking here http://bigrushmods.com/tiamat.html
to download kernel 1.4.2
and then i just download the 3g boot image below it?
Thank!!!

Ah...yes you would need to upgrade to 3.1 first. Either use one of the methods found in the forum (such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089695) or wait until the Euro upgrade reaches the UK.
Ok, so there is not way I can get taimat on 3.0.1? I have read and people have done this. Just need to find how.
So if I flash just the kernel without the tiamat boot file will that work? Its rooted and unlocked.
:S
sorry for all the questions, just this is so confusing for a new user.

No the kernel is for 3.1. You will need to upgrade to 3.1 first, one way or another.

So can I flash that version of kernel without the taimat boot file?
Or is there a version of boot file that works on the 3.0.1.

On the Xoom forum search for tiamat 1.3.1 and follow the instructions for flashing it. That will give you SD support and overclocking with android 3.0.1.
Then if you wish to, flash tiamat 1.4.1 according to instructions on zoom forum.
No new boot image is needed for either, it appears.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Right, i tried flashing the 1.3.1 taimat as suggested and it locked up at dual core screen again.
So i took a stab in the dark and went straight to install the 1.4.1 from micro sd and its working fine, wifi, 3g and its overclocked.
thanks for your help
Sorry to jump into this thread at such a late stage. I have a similar issue in that when I flash the boot.img for the Tiamat 1.3.1 rom, I get stuck at the boot screen (dual core etc).
How did you manage to install 1.4.1 from the micro sd if you are running a kernel that does have sd support yet? What steps did you take?
Thanks

Will try and help here from what i remember.
First follow these instructions to get it working again >
Download his boot and flash - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049901
I then downloaded and flashed clockworkmod.
I then put an sd card in my pc, put the tiamat 1.4.1 file on it, booted into clockworkmod recovery mode and then simply selected the sd card installed the tiamat from there.
Thats the basics of it and to my suprise it worked.
Hope this helps a little, just research clockworkmod and how to install etc.
I found the easiest way was to go to the AU 3.1 first, then root and clockworkmod it, then go to tiamat 1.1 then finally 2.0, then the 2.0.1 update for maps. went very smoothly.
Lordao
I took a guess yesterday and went for it. I ended up using the boot.img from the Tiamat 1.4.0 package. My xoom was happy with this and didn't get stuck at the bootloader screen. Then I installed the rest of the 1.3.1 Rom, then upgraded to 1.4.1. So I am all good on 1.41.
However I'm thinking about applying the 3.1 upgrade and then trying a newer tiamat kernel.
EDIT - I did end up using clockwork recovery. That thing is awesome.
I have tried, through Clockwork Recovery, to flash several ROMs and kernels.
I tried a Tiamat ROM. Looked promising. After flashing it and rebooting, the screen showed the proper custom boot animation and then it went into Honeycomb. Everything was the same as before. Looking in system information, it still says that I'm on stock 3.1 and using the stock kernel. I tried the Tiamat kernel and the Blue ROM, same thing, it just never changes anything except the boot animation.
Troubleshooting I've done:
Tried to flash it with older versions of CW recovery
Tried to flash it through ROM manager
Anybody know why it's doing this ****? It's rooted 3.1.
How did you root?
I used this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073884
I can confirm that the root is working perfectly fine.
Do you have access to your external SD card from honeycomb os?
The U.S. 3.1 doesn't work with MicroSD cards...does it?
EDIT: Nope, it doesn't work still. Just tested.
Do you have superuser? If not, you may want to reroot again. Something, may not have worked properly the first time.

Yep, I got superuser. ROM Manager even makes Superuser ask for root privileges before rebooting to flash, so I know that the root method I know isn't the issue.
I'm having the same problem.
I tried flashing the kernel, ROM, anything - it won't work. It just boots back to stock. But now I have a problem my wifi has an error.
Arrgh! The problem is RomManager's CWM. You actually CAN get it to flash things if you go into "mounts and storage" and mount /system and /data and all of that but DON'T. It will not work out well because it can not properly wipe system and you will wind up with a wifi kernel version mismatch (which will display as "wifi error" in settings). You need to flash the Tiamat CWM recovery from fastboot. I detailed the process for another person in this thread:

By the way, you will have to do a full wipe of ALL of your internal storage (so make a backup on your computer) and flash the ROM from an SD card.

You will have to wipe but beyond that it's pretty simple, download the current rom zip put it on your sd card and boot into CWM to flash it.
If you're not on CWM 3.2.0.0 RC4 then flash that first.

Go to the development subforum, and click the tiamat / mantaray rom thread. Since it's a complete rom, everything you need is in the one .zip. You will boot into CWM, do a system wipe, then install that zip. You'll then reboot, and rejoice at the puddle of pee in your pants as you are now running 3.2 tiamat rooted and all that goodness.

Here is the deal. Got my wifi only xoom (USA) when it was first released. Rooted shortly thereafter....one click method. Installed the tiamat 2.6.36.3 kernel. This prevented me from updating from android 3.0.1...which I'm still using. I didn't care until recently. My xoom is starting to act weird. Now xoom says I'm not rooted. Long story short. In the most simple terms (not good at this stuff). How can I catch up to the lastest version of android which I believe is 3.2? Thanks in advance.

Maybe there's an easier way, but you could go back to stock -- fastboot flash stock wifi images from moto dev (no need to relock, though) and let it OTA update to at least three-point-two. Then you can install a custom CWM recovery and flash a rom or kernel.

Do you have CWM recovery installed and have the use of your sdcard? If so, what version do you have? You actually may be able to flash the Tiamat Moray Rom which is the latest version and should give you the update. But you need the most recent solarnz cwm recovery R4c and you will need to do a wipe data/factory reset in recovery before flashing the rom from your external micro sdcard.

Just to be sure, CWM v5 will not read external uSD card, only the internal storage /sdcard. May I know the kernel you are installing?
It takes about a minute to install.

All of them seem to install fine but when rebooting I see the same kernel version and I cant OC.

A minute is way too long. Kernels only take like 3 seconds cuz they are small.
Try mount /system under mounts and storage before flashing the kernel.

Flashing a new kernel takes a few seconds. After reboot please pay attention to the blue indicator below the Android figure. It this not appears something went wrong with the first stage of the flashing process, invalid image/zip file etc.
Please use the customized CWM version, just not the flashed one from the Rom manager. I'v good experiences with the R2 (internal sdcard only) as well with the R1 (external micro-sdcard only). I preferred the R1 version.
Btw I'v have the best experiences with my TF101G with the CM9 build of March 29 combined with the quevor-test8 (just NOT from the guevor thread but ONLY from the thread of Richard because it's compiled for CM9) kernel, no reboots and no deep sleeps anymore while 3G and Wifi is working fine. Please do not wipe or clear something before flashing the new kernel to prevent Wifi problems. And I'v the best experiences not using the reboot system now from CWM but using power down and switch on the TF manually.

I had to totally flash ROM again after a full wipe because even a restore from recovery wouldn't go past very first Asus screen. I'm not sure what happened but I'm definitely now worried about trying a new kernel again
