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.

Could you give me link to current ROM?
I think i have to install 3.2 before i installed the new rom.

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.

Hi, a little confused on how 2 install tiamat on my uk xoom 3g.
Basically I followed this guide and rooted my xoom, i flashed using the boot the op listed. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049901
Ok, now I am looking at tiamat 1.4.1 and it mentions tiamat boot files and tiamat kernels.
My question is this, can I just install tiamat 1.4.1 kernel using CWM on an SDcard, will it work with the boot file i flashed on the site listed above or do I need to flash a tiamat boot file and will this be compatable with the UK 3G XOOM
So confusing.
Anyone please help. Thank you

Use this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
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.

That version will work on 3.0.1.
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.
Thanks for helping clearing this up for me.

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.

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 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.
Guys,
I am running Prime 1.5 which I flashed with nvflash and I would like to try Revolover 0.2.1 out but not sure if I need to go back to stock or I can just add the zip to my sd card then update via CWM?
Cheers

Thanks for the reply.
When I flashed Prime 1.5 using Nvflash it also rooted the device, if I flash Revolver or another rom will I lose the root?
Sorry if it's a stupid question.

It depends if the new ROM is rooted or not
There is generally told in the ROM topic itself
Hello,
I am very confused as to whether or not it is possible to go from my rooted US Xoom Wifi only running rooted stock 3.1 directly to the Manta Ray rom, or do I go to stock rooted 3.2 first? Whatever the case, could someone link me to the correct procedure? I cannot find something that matches my exact setup, and the Rom's thread is unclear whether I have to update first. Yes, I know, this is probably a noob question, but I am pretty new to rooting in general.
Does anyone how to do this?

Since you're rooted your bootloader is already unlocked
Just flash CWM 3.2.0.0 RC4
Wipe from CWM
Load Tiamat.
It should be that easy.
Ok, so the manta ray package is the whole system image for 3.2? Will it work essentially like an update?
EDIT: Also, just for clarification, I use wipe data/factory reset, and then put the rom on a microSD, then flashing it by doing what, exactly?

If you're downloading the Team Tiamat Mantay Ray 2.0.1 ROM - Yes, it includes everything.
You will boot into CWM recovery 3.2.0.0 RC4, do you have that installed? If not, please flash it first.
Then you flash the rom from CWM itself, after booting into CWM. Have the rom zip package on the flash card.
If you need more explicit instructions, they can be pieced together from the CWM thread and the Tiamat rom thread
Alright, got CWM 3.2.0.0 RC4 installed, now, for the part that scares me..Im gonna flash the Tiamat img now.

My Xoom has Tiamat Manta Ray installed .... I haven't kept up with the more recent Tiamat updates. I would now like to install the ICS "nightly" updates.
Originally, this was a Canadian Xoom, but I "converted" it to a US version prior to installing Manta Ray.
Model Number is showing as "Xoom", Android Version 3.2, Kernel Version 2.6.36.4Tiamat_Xoom-v2.0.0-Katana-stockGPU-gfed7aa6, Build number HTJ85B
I have CWM 3.2.0.0 installed.
If I want to install EOS ICS nightlies, do I just flash EOS ICS and GApps via CWM and the micro-SD card or is there something else I need to do, e.g. go back to stock? I think that I need to wipe the cache, but I am not sure. I have some paid apps installed and I don't want to lose those.
Thank you
Gordon1M
you only need to wipe in cwm (rogue or the one by solarnz) and make a nandroid and then flash
Back up apps in Titanium Backup. Do a nandroid backup in recovery. Best to wipe data/factory reset to avoid problems, ease troubleshooting. If not, at least wipe cache and dalvik cache. Flash latest nightly for your device, mine is wifi- so Wingray 44. Flash latest gapps, 10.3. Reboot.

Thanks for both of the replies. I'm presuming CWM 3.2.0.0 that is already installed should be OK.
I'm looking forward to trying ICS.

Go for it...Eos ICS is great.
Quick newb question (sorry), can I oc with any/most/some kernels that come with a rom? Haven't done it yet and I just flashed EOS nightly on mz604?

Mine runs stable at 1.6, but will reboot at 1.7. They're all a bit different. 1.5 seems to be a sweet spot for most CPUs.
