Hi
I've got xoom MZ606, is it same as MZ604?
Is it ok to flash MZ604 software to it?
anyone please?
I'm also wondering about this. I'm in China now and thinking about picking up a Xoom. But I want to know if I can flash a US MZ604 ROM on the Chinese MZ606 Xoom. Has anyone tried it?
i have hmj35..i installed tiamat rom. no problem yet..
but i dont know if it matters or what region hmj35 belongs to..
Just wanted to let you know that I bought the MZ606 and flashed the US ROM on it and it's working great. No problems at all.
Hey guys
I've been reading around here it seems that the MZ604 has variations internationally, right?
So, should I expect issues flashing a custom firmware from another country? I mean, if I apply any other MZ604 ROM, that isn't a Brazilian specific one (in my case), will it work at all? I was hoping to get Tiamat on it, but...
As always, thanks for the support!
I'm going to be obtaining a Xoom MZ600 soon, and I'm trying to do some homework ahead of time for rooting it. It seems like there are ROMS for ICS for MZ601, 602, 604 but nothing for MZ600.
From what I understand, it seems like the 602 and 600 are roughly the same tablet. The 600 is "upgradeable" to 4g, while the 602 includes 4g. I'm not sure what they mean by upgradeable, I'm guessing a software update?
The major question here is whether or not I can use an ICS ROM for the MZ602 with the MZ600. A thread I read did say the 600 software wasn't compatible with the 602, but it wasn't very specific. Does that mean it wasn't the same to begin with, but it's the same tablet so newer ROMS won't be a problem? Does that mean that there's some incongruity that won't let 602 software work on a 600?
Just confused is all, I wasn't able to find a clear post about it.
Best I can tell so far, you can bring your MZ600 to Verizon to have it upgraded to work with their LTE network.
...That still doesn't help me figure out if a 602 ROM is compatible with 600. One post made it seem like an MZ600 owner was running an MZ604 ROM. Another post said this would break it. I guess in what way? If I only care about the WiFi radio, is there really a problem installing a 604 ROM over the 600?

There is always the Universal Root - (if this was an issue) ... Anywho-
Per their website - the specs between the MZ600 & MZ602 are identical.
I'm not sure if Motorola does any MZ600 ROM Tweaks while the 4G LTE Upgrade is in progress to MZ602. We know for sure, that there is a New Modem. Why install the MZ604 ROM on a MZ600? Just- wondering. It could not hurt to contact the Manufacture if you really want an Expert answer. Motorola has instructions on their MOTO Dev website on how to revert back to stock from Root, so I figure asking them a simple question about ROM Differences would be ok. Or, if you are feeling adventurous try it at your own RISK. Let us know! Good Luck.
"The models include the MZ600, MZ601, MZ602 and MZ604. Not sure what happened to the MZ603 in there. In the meantime, it seems the only real difference between these four model numbers comes in the form of the radio, or in the case of the MZ604 — the lack of radio.
In other words, the MZ604 is the Wi-Fi only model, which happens to include 802.11 b/g/n. The other three models round out as follows, the MZ600 has support for EVDO Rev.A and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and the MZ601 and the MZ603 both have support for GPRS/EDGE Class 12, HSDPA 10.1Mbps, HSUPA 5.76Mbps and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n. "- TFTS
MZ602 is basically an MZ600 with upgraded 4G-Module. This is not just a Software update, during this upgrade your xoom is opened (the two screws besides the hdmi/usb/power-connectors are removed, the aluminum cover can then be slid down a couple of inches), a dummy mini-pci-card is then replaced with a new module. After that a new software will then be flashed in order to support the new mini-pci-card.
If you flash an MZ602-Rom onto your MZ600, my guess is that it will work, but you won't get any 3g-connection, don't know if wifi will work. But this is just a guess.
However, why go with a MZ602-rom? Just flash Team EOS ICS-rom for MZ600 from here (stable) or here (nightlies)

AH! A Team EOS ICS Rom for the 600 DOES exist. I couldn't find a thread for the nightlies and was starting to assume that it only supported the 602 (and all other models except the 600).
That said, the descriptions above of how they upgrade the 600 clear things up for me. It seems like my 600 would be a 602 after sending it in for an upgrade.
Either way, I'm not really planning on signing up for a Verizon account so I'd really just be using Wifi on it. I could probably do some tricks to put the Xoom onto my Sprint account, but I wouldn't have 4G either way in that event.
But.......the EOS ICS Rom for the X600 says.....
NOTE: THIS IS FOR VERIZON 3G DEVICES ONLY. NOT DEVICES UPGRADED TO 4G.
That being said, I didn't even realize that my XOOM was an MZ600 until this morning. I have only been looking and loading ROMs that say they are usable with the 4G upgrade (that I'd sent in and received).
I did, though, flash the ROM for the X600 and its working wonderfully.
I think I may re-flash one of the different ones, though, now....just to see.
BTW.....I know just enough to be dangerous, and have rooted, unrooted, flashed, returned to stock, gosh knows how many times, and haven't totally bricked the thing yet. Thought I had the other day when I couldn't get past the "RGD" Motorola screen.......but that's another story altogether.
Current Config:
Tablet: 4G LTE XOOM (MZ600) 32gb + 32gb microSD
Kernel: 2.6.39.4-Tiamat-3.0.5-gpuoc-02068-g99da013

Recov: ClockWorkMod 4.0.0.4

hi guys,
i just bought a xoom in the uk as an impulse buy. usually i do a lot of reading on things like this so i dont usually need help when it comes to rooting, unlocking bootloader etc.
This has probably been asked but i tried searching and i just got more confused. I would like to know if the uk xoom (wifi only) can be rooted and if i can unlock the bootloader. i would like to install a jellybean rom if that is possible but i couldnt really find i guide on this particular version.
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Yes and Yes is the simple answer......
Best thing is to have a search on here and maybe Google and you should find some guides on how to do it.... The guide I followed (but don't remember where I found it) wasn't specifically written for a UK Xoom, but worked absolutely fine.....
The UK Xoom can be easily unlocked via ADB when connected to your PC.....
Unlocking the Bootloader will completely wipe the device though so ensure you have copied anything you want from the Xoom first....
Plenty of ROM choices - I am currently using EOS 3 (Nightly 155) which is Jellybean 4.1.2 but will jump over to EOS 4 on Jellybean 4.2 in due course....
Trying to figure out how to install CyanogenMod on my Xoom MZ600 (ICS Verizon OTA Upgraded) tablet. I searched several links on xda-forums which seem to apply to the xoom2 and xyboard which I (don't think) I have. I also found "Rooting WiFi xoom" on xda-forums but when I got there, it talks about and update for model MZ604 and my UPC sticker says "MZ600". I searched for rooting mz600 in the xda Xoom forum, and found "OUTDATED" guide. I then checked out the CM wiki which gives instructions for installing CM for "Wingray" but I'm not sure if Wingray is "Xoom" or "Xoom2" -- it only says Wi-Fi which presumably, the Xoom2 also has? Gaaahh!. Where is the correct place to go to find correct info for rooting my mz600 with ICS Verizon OTA update? ICS is way to slow for me and turned tablet into useless. I want to put on CM9 or CM7 on it. Thanks!
Hi,
I think you can try giving a look at our device FAQ It may answer lots of your questions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145522
Hey,
I followed the FAQ yesterday and was able to root and flash my Xoom(MZ602) with success! I used the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088705 JB MR1 4.2 Stingray MZ604 Verizon 4G LTE. I would recommend it if you have a 4g Xoom as opposed to the Wingray because, if I am not mistaken, Wingray is for the WiFi only Xoom...someone with more experience might be able to verify.
Whatever you go with be sure you backup before you flash the ROM, it is never a bad idea to backup!
Good luck you won't regret it!

wingray is the wifi xoom
