[Q] Im running 3.0.1 UK Wifi Only, whats the best way to get to a 3.2 ROM?

Hey all,
I purchased a UK WiFi Only Xoom today, its running 3.0.1 im wondering what the best way is and what method I should use to go up to the most stable 3.2 ROM that is overclocked?
If you have a link to the best guide to follow or any suggestions please post them.
Thanks!

Well if it were me, I'd firsts change the region to US that way you'll always be up to date.
Here's the URL (copy into browser): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166106
Looks like a decent guide and once you get done with this, you can start flashing up to date roms and whatnot.
Hope this helps

Well first off claim your free keyboard, best to do that now before you mess your xoom up changing regions. motorolaxoompromotion.co.uk . Then root and go with hammerhead from team tiamat, they really are the best for making one flashable update for everyone! If you are new to android search and read about all this first!
Excuse typos, I'm on my phone
Edit: and when I say mess your xoom up, I mean it has to be done from a stock UK zoom, I did it by changing user agents in Firefox, as outlined by another thread here, but to do it now would be easiest.

How to return to stock?

I bought a used transformer this past weekend and its already running prime overclocked to 1.6ghz. My question is how do I return to stock so I can install the icecream sandwich update when it become available? Every other android device I've owned has had a one click restore of some soft but I can't seem to.find anything here like that. If someone could please point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

i believe first everyone will tell you to search extensively about your topic and the answers are available.
i will however help ya out with the specifics of what your lookin for.(and just so you know the devs will probably get you ICS before asus does or very shortly thereafter, so you might want to consider your options once you do your research)
your going to wanna look up the differences in device serial number versions the pre b70 versions and the b70+ versions. look into the sbkv1 and sbkv2(secure boot key). its very likely yours is a pre b70 which for now is probably good. the later versions have a locked bootloader and the more powerful tool nvflash doesnt work currently.
i belive yours is older (but be sure!!!) and should be able to utilize the nvflash method of unrooting/unbricking. this is what you wanna reasearch....
im in the earning process myself and want to better the transformer community anyway i can and im a firm believer that knowledge is power...............but also comes with responsibility
if you have questions by all means ask but you really should spend some time researching your device and this community and exhaust your intelligence before calling on someone elses....i say this only because many more experienced members will really get on you for asking questions you can answer your self... youve gotten this far your on the right track.
beyond that i will glady help anyone i can and im learning as well so im hungry for the info i guess...
Anyone see what im saying as wromg or misguided plz let me know....

Yeah mine is the original purchased in may.

Hello,
I agree with the question. How can I return to the Stock ROM?
At the Moment i have the Revolution HD on mein TF.
I search, but i cant find the answer
thx for your help

Heck the easiest way I know of to flash to stock is nvflash a stock ROM. Just did that to send back my TF for an RMA, No trouble at all, Snag a stock ROM from Asus website (or here on XDA). Search nvflash and you'll be good to go, Very straightforward process, really.

Thanks for your answer.
I rootet my Pad with Brks_rootkit_v7.1.
I think this program was made a backup from original stock rom befor i rootet my pad. Is this correct?
Can i use Brks_rootkit_v7.1 to become to original stock?
thx

Yep, if you have a backup from your stock made by brks rootkit 7.1 then you can put your tablet back to stock rom.
If you don't have a backup stock rom, then go to tabletroms.com and search in the forum for asus transformer nvflash unbricking tools, this is a tool from zerofeel. This solutions works really well and I use it to keep getting back to original stock rom, before I put a new rom and kernel on my tablet.
Good-luck with it and remember use it at your own risk.

But nvflash doesn't work with b70+, is there a guide to go back without nvflash? Besides that, i got the latest DE Firmware and i want to have a possibility to go back to stock before i root..just in case...is there any way?

[Q] Request 9.2.1.17 TW ROM

Hi, everyone.
I tried to do OTA update from TW 8.6.5.21 to 9.2.1.17 but failed.

Tried searching everywhere for TW ROM but found only US & WW versions.
Can anyone help me?
I have extracted the dlpkgfile.zip and uploading the file.

Thanks. Not blind, just not familiar with the terminologies.

what do you mean by "phone reboot within awhile"? Is it that the phone keep rebooting itself?
well.. I am a newbie too but I have flashed my phone more than 100 times I guess, keep trying on XDA developers' custom ROM (because they are way better than SAMSUNG stock rom)
I think there is no such ROM as most stable or appropriate here, every ROM has its own feature(some might be laggy or buggy though) so the best way to find out which 1 most suit your needs is to test them out. You can read through the threads in Development forum, there are many ROMs there from XDA developers. See some review and comments to find the ROM best suits your needs, and follow exactly the installation guide then you should be able to flash your phone without worry
Im currently using [4.1.2] JellyBam ☄ v3.1.0 [AOKP.CM10.PARANOID] by Lolation, very smooth and kinda good battery life too
good luck flashing~ =)

Need stock rooted 4.2.2, like MicroDelta, but can't download

Hello everyone,
My dad has Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3113, wifi only) and I would like to update it for him to the latest rooted stock (or stock-like) ROM.
So far I have found the MicroDelta rom that is pretty close to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405410) and I like the description of it a lot, but there's something wrong with the download links, so I couldn't try it (says "Invalid Attachment specified..."). I also don't have enough posts to comment on that thread to notify that download links don't work. I've been a user of xda for a while, but hate to just go spamming the forums to get the 10 posts count, so I don't have enough to comment in dev. I only say something if I have something to say, you know...
I also tried to search for other "stock rooted 4.2.2 Tab 2 7.0" roms, but couldn't find anything closer/better than the MicroDelta rom.
Therefore, if someone would be so kind to help me in these 2 ways I'd be very thankful:
1) Notify/PM the maker of MicroDelta rom (Tsjoklat) and say that download links don't work (since I can neither post there, nor PM him).
or
2) Tell me if there's some other stock rooted 4.2.2 rom for P3113 thread available that I couldn't find.

you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081801 sungsonic ver7 the best stock based rom
for my tab

Thank you, Mohdsultan. I'll go try the Sungsonic rom.

I've installed sungsonic v7 now. I actually remember trying this rom some times ago now. It's pretty cool, but I couldn't figure out how to remove the cellphone related stuff. My dad's device is P3113, that is wifi only and no celluar. I remember now there were some patches to remove celluar stuff, but there are 478 pages in the Sungsonic's thread, which is unrealistic to read in short amount of time. Mohdsultan, can you pin-point me to the thread containing the latest instruction to remove cellphone-related stuff from the Sungsonic rom?

Alright, for those interested, here's the link for the latest phone-related stuff remover for Sungsonic v7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49145850
This rom, however, is missing the default touchwiz weather widget that my dad needs. I've read though and it's not that easy to add the widget back. Adi (the rom dev) promised to make some patch for this sometimes later, but as of now I don't think this rom will suite my dad's needs. I'd install it for myself maybe, but not for my dad's tab. He just needs stock + root (for ad block) and that's it. So the quest is not over: still looking for the stock rooted 4.2.2 rom.

The problem is solved now. Links to download for the MicroDelta server is in post #323 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51171998&postcount=323 )
