The answer is that I'm not sure how the international 3.1 differs from the US 3.1. I'm sure we will find out soon. Also are you Wifi only or 3G/Gsm version?

Note:
My xoom is originally form US wifi only but I install the international rom because of the arabic language and keyboard

Did you use the boot file that GoNYoR used or did you just follow the instruction in the Xoom forums? I wonder if this will work with a 3G MZ604 on HC3.1. Really interested in rooting my Xoom.

If you look for the poster Turkawa, (also from Turkiye) he will probably be able to give you guidance. The Xooms from different countries are a bit different so you will want to follow the exact set of instructions for your device. Also since it's 3G you don't want to lose your 3G service.
How do I know which version of the Xoom I have ? I bought mine in Switzerland 2 weeks ago, and I received the update just after switching it on for the first time

Settings > About this tablet there you see all important informations!
I see :
- Android version : 3.1
- Build number : HMJ37
But it doesn't tell me which version it is. As it's a wifi only Xoom, I suppose it's the MZ604, but I don't know if it's the French version, or European version (regarding to images here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049485)... ?

[Q]HK Xoom 3.0.1 ROM

A few weeks ago, I purchased a Xoom with Wi-Fi only in Hong Kong while I was visiting. However, I did not know it was a HK Xoom until I did a OTA update to 3.1 H.6.4-20.
I would like to flash a US 3.2 or above using this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166106
To my dismay, it states that only 3.0.1 HK Xoom has been tested and working.
It seems that Motorola has not released the stock 3.0.1 version so I have no way of flashing it to my Xoom.
My question is, is there anyway for me to get a 3.0.1 HK ROM in order to flash a US 3.2 or above? Also, can I try the guide I mentioned above without flashing back to a 3.0.1?
Thanks

You are looking to unlock your bootloader and root so you can flash a stock or custom rom with the HC three point two update, yes?
There is a new universal root method that works on any Xoom, any model, any country.
If you root with this method you could flash the Tiamat Hammerhead Rom which will provide you with the three point two update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209341

[Q] ICS ROM EOS for 3G Hong Kong Xoom?

1st of all, welldone eos team!! Will love to update this rom with my xoom hk version. but sadly most of the thread end up saying hong kong version should stay away...i think its maybe the partition issues stil the main problem, anyone here already test the rom with hong kong version?
Why are we being left out?
Hi all,
Been using the MZ601 3g/WiFi for a few months and still can't get to a point to root it. Last time I rooted it a lot of stuff does not work like the market and memory. I paid motorola to flash it back as they will not provide the SBF file. Also HK versions are not going to get the upgrade to ICS from motorola. Though they have put it into planning stage only which means no ICS for us. If anyone have proper information on how to root HK version 3g/WiFi MZ601 please please let us know.
TIA
Eric
I think you guys can just flash the EU version of the EOS rom...(HK version should be UMTS instead of CDMA).

Only if solarnz has added the special files to deal with the HK model's storage partition issues. I'm sure he'd help if possible.

Well there's a high possibility that the 3G xoom sold in hk is the eu version...
1. HK uses EU mobile frequencies
2. I've got my wingray in hong kong and still be able to flash the EOS rom...
So just check carefully whether or not you are having the EU xoom...
You can try flashing the EU version of the rom but I'll recommend that you'll do a backup first in recovery.
Hi aR_ChRiS,
Thanks for the reply. So how exactly can I backup my original firmware? I don't want to again pay Motorola to reflash again. I cannot find the exact procedures to backup. Please help.
TIA

install clockworkmod and, before rooting, go into the backup-menu and run a nandroid backup.
I am not sure which recovery you should use, as your partition table looks different from 'the usual'. The 'modded' CWM is modded in a way to exclude the /sdcard-folder (=/data/media) from wipes, backups, etc, so this is probably not the recovery you should go for. Also, if you change your partition table to match the european xooms, you will probably have to undo that before you can restore that backup.

Rom for hk xoom
Hi Nick,
Lucikly I didn't root as my motherboard had problems and they replaced it twice. Anyway unless I can find the sbf file for hk mz601 I dont think I can safely do it. As i don't want to pay for it to be reflashed each time. Also from reading around it is best for hk users not to root. Or at least wait for the warranty to run out. For me it is end of this year

XOOM MZ601 - need help with firmware

Hello, I need some help in what firmware do I install
XOOM MZ601 - Build: JZO54M
Currently on android 4.1.2
Problems: 3G doesn't work, there's only 2 available languages(English and Spanish), I need Russian language
Problems aren't inherent, from what I've been told someone tried to install incompatible firmware, or something like that
I know that codename for my model would be Everest, but i'm still little confused about firmware to choose
I would've already installed stock from "firmware.center", but I don't see any for MZ601 or at least my build
Anyone?
I am not familiar with Russian, and have not used any non-English language on my Xoom. But there is an option for "Русский" in my Rom.
The rom is EOS UMTS Everest 123 based on JB 4.1.2. If you want that, I can upload it.
PS: Have not used 3G in a long time, but IIRC it worked the last time I used it.
EDIT: Sorry just saw your build. My rom won't work on it.
