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

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?

Eos roms support overclocking...the stock roms don't.
Sorry to be off topic but how high would you run the CPU.. I have it at 1.408 right now I put it to 1.7 but my Xoom rebooted shortly after..

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.

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.

I just flashed the ROM "Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.1 Hammerhead". The first thing that pops up is a system update notification, should I update it? Am I running the risk of bricking it? Thank you

If you are rooted/with custom rom, don't accept any OTA system updates. It will mess you up.
No instead you should make a nandroid backup and flash one of the ics roms.
i flashed the custom rom but I don't know if I can still receive ota after a custom rom. Also I tried ics rom and it messed up my ram so much

Don't accept an OTA update. Also, ICS has improved my memory management. What happened?
I flashed the unofficial cm9 ics, it is unstable and slow, my ram usage is up high. I saw the one you are using, but it says night built that scares me a little. How is it?

It is stellar! Build #59 is really fine.
Absolutely...the Team EOS Nightlies are perfectly complete builds at this stage they seem to be making minor changes in each nightly but the latest build (#61) is definitely stable and I use it as my daily driver with no problems...
If you flash it be sure to do a full wipe to avoid any problems...after the installation is complete be sure to also flash the latest gapps package 10.5 before leaving Clockwork
Everything should work just fine : )

Hey guys,
Ive been out of the loop for a bit and it looks like a lot has changed. I am currently running a US WiFI only Xoom with Tiamat 2.2.2 "Moray". I know that ICS is available for our devices... Can I go right from 2.2.2 to say, Team Eos ICS 1.0.0 or is their a better way? I am planning on using the below link but Ive also seen posts for others ROMS that required steps be taken prior to going to ICS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484770
As always, any help is appreciated.
Thanks!!
You should be able to flash the rom and gapps and then boot fine, but I would do a nandroid first just in case.
The EOS release is a full ROM, not just an update. Should be fine. Have fun with your 'brand new' Xoom!
Thanks guys. I will give it a go after work today. Cant wait!
do a nandroid
wipe data, cache, dalvik
flash eos ics 1.0 in cwm -> flash gaps in the same cwm session!!! -> reboot
now u r on eos ics 1.0
Hi guys, I'm using the CM9 ICS with my transformer and I was trying to install a different kernels without any success at all. I've booted into CWM (V5) and installed from sd card but when I restart the machine, It's always with the same kernel. Can someone suggest how to make it work?
How long does the install take? That should give some insight onto what it is doing

Just to be sure, CWM v5 will not read external uSD card, only the internal storage /sdcard. May I know the kernel you are installing?
It takes about a minute to install.
I've tried a few:
TesteyMeh ICS 0.7
Blades
Others...
All of them seem to install fine but when rebooting I see the same kernel version and I cant OC.
have u tried wiping the cache and dalvik before flashing them?

A minute is way too long. Kernels only take like 3 seconds cuz they are small.
Try mount /system under mounts and storage before flashing the kernel.

Flashing a new kernel takes a few seconds. After reboot please pay attention to the blue indicator below the Android figure. It this not appears something went wrong with the first stage of the flashing process, invalid image/zip file etc.
Please use the customized CWM version, just not the flashed one from the Rom manager. I'v good experiences with the R2 (internal sdcard only) as well with the R1 (external micro-sdcard only). I preferred the R1 version.
Btw I'v have the best experiences with my TF101G with the CM9 build of March 29 combined with the quevor-test8 (just NOT from the guevor thread but ONLY from the thread of Richard because it's compiled for CM9) kernel, no reboots and no deep sleeps anymore while 3G and Wifi is working fine. Please do not wipe or clear something before flashing the new kernel to prevent Wifi problems. And I'v the best experiences not using the reboot system now from CWM but using power down and switch on the TF manually.
antond57:
i too have been having trouble getting kernels to allow overclocking...i flash one, all looks ok but when i get to tablettop the kernel info appears unchanged and setcpu wont clock past 1000.
could you maybe please post links to the rom and kernel you used? im having trouble locating the Richards R1 and R2 versions. i would like to see if i can repeat your success w/ these versions.
much appreciated.
I have same issue except worse yesterday. I'm on latest CM9. I tried to flash guevro test 9 and I did wipe both cache. Using roach 2 recovery. Just stayed on Asus screen. Blue bar did pop up and take a second or so but nothing. Checked md5 and all was good.
I had to totally flash ROM again after a full wipe because even a restore from recovery wouldn't go past very first Asus screen. I'm not sure what happened but I'm definitely now worried about trying a new kernel again

Yap, I have the same problem. Nandroid restore did not restore to the previous state. For me, re-flash the ROM fixed the problem (no full-wipe).
Try Using clockwork recovery
I have just flashed guevor kernel as well with no problems. I'm using clockwork mod recovery. Have you tried it?
What is the best kernel I should use on my trusty TF101? I am currently running a nightly of CM10 with TWRP recovery. Since I'm new to the whole process, do I wipe everything before installing the new kernel, then install the CM10 ROM and so forth or can I just install the kernel on top of the CM10 install and go from there?
Much thanks to everyone!

Wrong place mate, you need to post in the questions forum next time. Afaik RaymanFX's Elite kernel is good for cm10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998297) just make sure you download the cm10 specific version, no wipe is necessary just flash and reboot.
