[Q] Installing Stock image - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I have Xoom Wi-Fi MZ604.
Android Version: 3.2
I have a question about installing other stock image:
My Xoom is MZ604.
i can install other version of the image?
I mean,that my MZ604 is Build H.6.2-24.
can i install Build HWI69 ? this version is for US.
And what will be the difference?

someone?
I'm pretty sure that i have seen guide to do this,but i don't remember where.

if you look at the product details at http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/
it would appear that you would be able to flash another stock image from a different region - as you have the same hardware a product number
i would assume that if you have tried to install an mz602(for example) it wouldnt be compatible as hardware differs.

Ok, thanks .
that's what i meant: to install othe version of that stock image(HWI69 )

[Q] root & upgrade to custom firmware

Hi!
I recently acquired a B60 serial, TF101 that has the android version 3.1 ; with build number HMJ37.US_epad-8.4.4.11-20110711
The system is prompting for an update , I believe it is for the 3.2 upgrade, which I didn't do yet.
I am very much interested in getting custom firm ware installed.
I had an opportunity to read the forum, and just needed directions in the right way:
1. Should I upgrade to the V8.6.5.9 (Android 3.2) from the ASUS website or the OVA that the system is prompting me to do so? I am just concerned with the following statement from ASUS website: ※Firmware update cannot do *SKU conversion* and downgrade version .... I believe this means, I can't downgrade after?
2. I can use the Universal Rooting Tool that is discussed on this forum, but I believe in that case I need to do #1 above, is that correct? or Can I do it with the stock firmware that I have?
3. the custom firmware I am interested in is the Android Revolution ; it says it requires: Clockworkmod Recovery - using the #2 mentioned above, will it be installed automatically?
Thanks.
P.S. Let me know anything else that I have missed.

[Q] Where to start?!

Hi all,
I'm new to this Xoom and I just bought it yesterday!
To be honest I don't know where to start!?
I want to install custom recovery, unlock, and install a custom ROM!
If that is difficult/unfeasable I only want to install the latest JB 4.1.1 rooted! Stock.
I have the following:
Model number:
MZ604
Android Version:
4.0.4
Firmware configuration version:
GAS_ASIA_UCAHUBLWFRTIRD_P011
GAS_ASIA_UCAHUBLWFRTIRD_A029
GAS_ASIA_UCAHUBLWFRTIRD_M007
Kernel version:
2.6.39.4-00033-gbd0e533
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 5 04:25:57 CDT 2012
Build number:
I.7.1-45
Please help me where to start?! What is fastest way?! Or the safest way?! Is this a US or non-US xoom?!
Thanks,
You have the Asian model (not a US one) which is the same as mine.
I turned mine into a 'Google Experience Device' by unlocking the bootloader, installed the US images, re-locked bootloader, then it OTA'd up to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean courtesy of Google.
The US images are available here at the link below from Motorola. You may need to register to download 'Build HWI69 for US Retail'.

Well I've never owned android without rooting! It's unusable to me! 1st reason to do so is to remove ads!
General info on how to unlock, get a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM.
1. Set up android SDK and get fastboot and adb working.
2. Unlock: fastboot OEM unlock.
3. Custom recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Download ROM of your choice, boot into recovery, create backup, and install.
There are plenty of guides that cover these individual concepts in detail. Good luck.

First, you should need to know which actual model of your MID.
MaPan & a few variants model mostly came from Eken W70 by different modules, mostly they change using different Touch Panel Chip Controller, you should have know it.
Even Eken W70 is came from different PCB version that they modified the board quite frequently.
Try to browse the "FirmwareInstall\config" folder, you should see the Brand name & Model no. .fwc file.
To select the right one to flash your device is just put the "+" in front the .fwc file.
If you haven't found one suitable, just try to search the different source of W70 WM8850 firmware, you might see a collection of different .fwc config file there.
Give a few tries, then you should able to find out what Touch Panel Controller is using.

Download this: http://goo.gl/0K6eh then install it.
Instructions:
1. Select the CORRECT device and build (what you are currently running) <-- Select the EXACT device model. For example: i9023, i9020A, etc.
2. Configure your drivers if you haven’t already using the driver guide (If you aren’t sure use Step 3 of the driver guide to test your drivers).
3. If you need to backup your important data.
4. Unlock your device
5. Root your device
*Try out the other toolkit features by pressing the buttons, each button explains what it does first. So the best way to get familiar with the toolkit is simply to press the buttons and read what it says.
