Which ICS for MZ601?

I have a European 3G Xoom, which ICS version shall I flash, if I'd like to get some 4.0 fun? I know that 3G won't work, but I don't want to brick my Xoom, better ask before.

I have a US 3G XOOM that hasn't been upgraded to 4G and I flashed the 4G ROM which caused an issue with the radio staying awake non stop searching for a signal. This ate battery like crazy. The EOS dev suggested that I flash the WiFi version of the ROM and it worked like a charm. That is, of course, if you don't use your 3G and run WiFi only all the time like I do. Otherwise, you're out of luck for now until someone cooks up a ROM specifically for 3G devices. Also, you need to make sure it would even work for non US XOOMs first, obviously.
I'm not sure if the devs even read this section, but if you don't get an answer from one here, you should PM them or ask in one of their threads. They've been very helpful to me and answered every question I needed help with. I hope you get it worked out. It's an excellent ROM.

Thanks, I was thinking about trying the wifi version. But I better ask before. I had some bad luck recently flashing 4.0 on my Nexus S. So I prefer asking before doing.

I have been running the EOS wingray rom and so far everything is stable and working except the faceunlock and silly faces effect. Check it out.

this Rom is realy good but you need fastboot to install it:

and you have to use a alternate recovery.img,

zip the universal xoom root

It runs on my 601 like Hell

I flashed ICS (WiFi only) on my MZ601. While all run wells, I am unable to go back to Honeycomb. My tablet model (in About Tablet) is now Xoom instead of MZ601. Unable to flash the system.img file using Fastboot.
So in case you'd like to go back to Honeycomb to collect an OTA update to ICS, it might be an issue.

It has arrived ... work VERY well.

It's quite same like Acer A500
for 3.2 there is no really simple way, but this is not that bad eather, here is what I did:
1) donwgrade using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227 (edit: or maybe this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307539 I dont remember, only neded think there is, that you need to add something at some point in front of the serial)
but with EUUs_PB_G100W_1.007.03_COM_GEN1 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
(well...its just download PC drivers from PB site, enable usb something (debugging or waht?) in tablet, find out serial number, run euu)
2) root it using iconiaroot
3) install CWM and flash whatever ROM you like, I used Taboonay 2.2
edit: I used taboonay cause my Huawei 3g dongle works with it

Hi there,
i was wondering if there are any new methods to root a Packard Bell Liberty Tab?
Also i wanted to tell you guys, that you can download the source code of both kernel (Honeycomb 3.0 and 3.2) on the support page from packard bell.
Maybe someone can use that for recovery.
Also i wanted to ask you guys, which ROM is the best for the Liberty Tab (maybe with support for Keyboard which works via a Bluetooth dongle)?
Hopfully someone will answer me
Thanks in advance
darius_raven

I`m quite happy there is a forum for liberty tab on xda
Thete is one on android hilfe too
The best ROM is for me tegraowners ICS!!!
Civato the creator of FLEXREAPER uses liberty tab him self. His ROM is nice too! But at the and it is allways a question of personal taste... .

[Q] Is there a way to install Huawei dongle drivers to ICS?

I am having trouble finding answer to my query...
Would you please tell my if there is a solution for use of 3g dongle on TF101 with ICS as it was possible with Honeycomb?
I remember there was need to put huawei drivers to kernel (there was script for that) and 3g enabler prepared by Gnufabio (Revolver Dev).
As my newbe knowledge in linux based systems tells me - it propably will not be good to use the same script on ICS kernel which was written for Honeycomb kernel... or am i wrong?
Or maybe it worked for someone?
thanks very much for answer.

I've been having the same thought on my mind too; but apparently, to enable the 3G, one must flash the 3G bootloader to the Wifi pad. And bake new libs. And kill kittens. etc. I still have the e1750 dongle with customized firmware laying around (it also has custom VendorID, dammit), waiting patiently for a solution.

Ok, thanks very much, will wait for solution then also...
What was concerning, that gnufabio in revolver ics thread left the guide link to the HC dongle enable tutorial. That is why i raised my question

[Q] Motorola Xoom MZ601 help

Hi there i have been coming here for a while reading at everyones posts and help regarding rooting xoom's... so with all the great feedback the members have given to the users who designed a very easy HOW TO guide on how to root and flash your xoom... I FINALLY DID IT!!!!!! was very easy, i currently have a xoom MZ601 which i rooted with a breeze the put clockwork 3.2.0.0 & flashed to ICS...
Was just curious to know can anyone direct me to a place where i can find alot of themes and customizations for it as i really want to make it look awesome.
Also just another quick question, when i flashed my xoom i originally installed clockwork 4.0.4 how i had to get v3.2.0.0 because 4.0.4 would not pick up the micro SD card to flash to ICS, Is there a version of clockwork i need to have specifically for the xoom. it is a US version and the ICS versio n i got my hand on was Team EOS 3G everest 4.0.4, is that the right ICS i sould have for my xoom mz601, all the help i can get would be most appreciated as i very new to all this. cheers in advanced.

[Q] What does a Custom ROM do for my Xoom!?!

All,
I want to root my Xoom and us a custom Rom. I was thinking that I would ask a couple of questions before I do it.
I WILL NOT HOLD ANYONE RESONSABLE FOR THEIR COMMENTS OR ADVICE IF I BRICK MY XOOM!!
I was going to add to a couple of possible forum, but I thought it may be better to start a new question.
1) What do you get when you root your Xoom?
2) What is the advantage for using a custom ROM.?
3) If I use a custom Rom will it improve my Xoom performance?
4) What ROM would you use?
5) Where can I go to get the files and information on what to do?
6) Does the ROM get updates?
7) Do you overclock you Xoom when you us custom ROM?
8) What is the latest version of Android come with Custom ROM?
I love my Xoom and would like to get the most out of it
Thanks,
Grim

I don't claim these as facts but just from my experiences and readings.
1. rooting elevates your rights on the Android system. It's equivalent to admin for windows. If you want to know what advantages rooting provides google it as there are many written articles about that.
2. I wouldn't say it's an advantage but just provides more options and features. This varies depending on ROM.
3. It would depend on what version you are on now and chances are, the answer would be, not really. The kernel for the xoom is still the same one from 4.1 which is where the performance gains / loses come from. Although some ROMS are able to minimize in the UI. If you are coming from honeycomb then yes there is noticeable performance gains.
4. I'm currently using EOS 4 Build 197 Bigpart with Elemental bigpart Kernel. There is a kitkat ROM out now however, it's wingray only. Waiting for the possibility of stingray. But like i mentioned before, until someone can update our kernel don't expect any real performance changes.
5. Use the link the last guy provided or just check the development forum. The How to is usually the top most post.
6. Currently the only ROM getting any support / updates is the new Kitkat ROM for wingray (wifi only). How long... depends on how long the developer remains interested. They do it all for free so how frequently is when they feel like working on it.
7. Yes, i overclock to 1600mhz max makes a difference.

This are really good point. Thanks for your reply.

Overclock and kitkat; that's why you want custom. Xoom at 1.6GHz running 4.4.2 with ART feels like a brand new tablet. Just do all your research first or you'll be buying a new tablet.

1) What do you get when you root your Xoom?
Depends.
2) What is the advantage for using a custom ROM.?
whatever Stock ROM doesn't provide.
3) If I use a custom Rom will it improve my Xoom performance?
If the custom rom contains overclocked CPU or GPU, then it will indeed.
4) What ROM would you use?
CM11
5) Where can I go to get the files and information on what to do?
HERE!!!
6) Does the ROM get updates?
It depends...the more users are IN, we could get more update chances.
7) Do you overclock you Xoom when you us custom ROM?
Yup. That's one of the PROs I've explained. 1.0Ghz is too slow.
8) What is the latest version of Android come with Custom ROM?
CM11 is based on KitKat(which you could call Android 4.4)

I can't tell you how many times I soft bricked during the process, but every time - with some persistence and research on these forums - I was able to recover and proceed. Eventually I got it right. Highly recommend searching for AIO_scripts_R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3.zip here to help automate switching out of fastboot modes.
