[Q][Resolved] Flash a WIFI ROM on XOOM 3G ? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I got a Motorola XOOM WIFI-3G (MZ601) and I'm in Europe. So I want to put ICS on it without waiting 6 months
I already updated it on 3.2.
Firmware is : GAS_EMEA_USAEVRSTURFR_P023 (EU version or ?)
Simple question :
Can I flash a ROM made for WIFI version on my 3G xoom ?
I don't care about losing the 3G part of it 'coz I don't have any use of it.

Yes you can.
I tested Team Rogue's and Team Eos' nightlies and they are awesome!

Ok thank you

Can you flash back later and get "3G" back?
Or more specifically... If I flashed a Verizon MZ602 with MZ604 flash, and lost 3G/4G radio, could I flash back to MZ602 software and get the 3G/4G back?

3G on Xoom no longer working after flashing Tiamat ROM

Hi everyone.
I've bought my Motorola Xoom 3G 32GB from the internet and it came with the "international" firmware.
3G used to work all fine with any carrier I try until I flashed Tiamat ROM for all the advantages it supplies.
It just can't find a carrier (which is probably US Verizon).
Is there any way I can regain my 3G back?
Well its been a couple days. Has the 3g kicked in yet by itself?
I went ahead and unlocked my zoom yesterday and when it booted back up I didn't have 4g service kinda like you.
I tried finding some APN settings but the xoom wont let me edit them anyways. By the end of the night I went back to try and fix it again and I noticed it had connected again by itself.
I would try calling the carrier you prefer and get them to reset the APN. Moto might do it if you leave out the rooting part.
If its like phones it might be a case of flashing the multiCSC. Because on my old captivate the multicsc was the international unlock you described.

Well, I'm in this state for moths and still didn't regain my 3G back.
And, is there any way I can re-flash the files which determine the carrier alone?
Or alternatively, isn't there a way to manually compile Tiamat ROM with the international build files for universal support?
well you could go back to stock and that should work to get 3g-
I really like this ROM and don't want to go back to original.
That's why I'm asking for solutions '{: (

Look in the Development Section. TeamEos ICS Nightly is now available for 3G/4G...not sure if it supports international 3G yet, but they're working on it. The ICS rom, while still in alpha/beta stage (missing binaries for cameras) is stable and smooth and has tons of functionality.
Thanks okantomi!
I hope this ends my dilemma (fingers crossed).

[Q] What Xoom do i have.?

Last week I purchased a XOOM from a local importer (way less expensive than our telco's), but im not exactly sure what region its from.
Model : MZ601
Firmware Configuration Version : GAS_ASIA_USAEVRSTURTIRD_P037
Build Number: H.6.5-17-1
Has 32gb, 3g + WiFi , and also came with a UK power plug.
If anyone could identify what region my XOOM is from, or if its one of the GED models I've heard of (but im doubting its GED, I think they are just USA?
If I can find out where its from etc, then id know whether to wait for an official XOOM ICS update ofr it, or root & flash something custom.
Any help, greatly appreciated.
Thats a EU 3G Xoom.
And it likely won't be recieveing ICS from motorola or google for a while.

I suapected it was a uk model, but the firmware naming had me unsure. I had a look at the motorola xoom support site which lists the stock firmwares (always good to have a backup of stock just incase) but not sure which to download.
Us it worrh waitinf on stock for official ics, or is there a particular custom ics thats really worth flashing? ( bearing in mind im not that fussed on 3g capabilities at this stage.)

Go to http://www.androidsu.com and download the Superuser-3.0.7.zip file, flash that in ClockworkMod recovery. Done. Simple as that.
I think the universal root method should still work fine. I flashed the single zip through CWM recovery awhile back on 4.0.3 without issue, so I doubt you'd have trouble with 4.0.4 (unless something major changed).
Or just install push recovery image thru adb and install custom android 4.0.4 rom already rooted by team eos...

Yeah, I like the TeamEOS flavor of ICS. I can't guarantee it working on your Brazilian xoom, however, if you can use it, it is a great rom. It provides a very stock experience but with many more features that compliment Android 4.0.4 without bloat. There are both nightlies and stable versions, both get updated (when you flash newer versions in recovery) so you won't miss out on any new features. And yes, it is rooted for you.
Of course, there are plenty of other equally great roms from other great developers to try out in case TeamEOS's rom doesn't fit your needs (or if you get flashing-fever).
Just saying, I am not to be held responsible for any damage (yes, there are risks) that happens to anything because of this post.
Hope that helped.
Cheers
It does work on Brazilian xoom. Team EOS rocks.

Oh, if that's the case and if the OP is still interested, unlocking the bootloader, flashing solarnz's recovery and flashing a pre-rooted rom (like EOS) might be the way to go. It also might be worth mentioning that rooting, unlocking the bootloader, and certainly flashing a new rom would probably *void* the warranty on the Xoom.
Just for good measure, I am not to be held responsible for any damage (yes, there are risks) that happens to anything because of this post.
Please read this procedure carefully the one I have shared on xda to root and flash custom ICS ROM on MZ601. The only difference in your case is to download and flash the rom for MZ604.

Possible to use the stock ROM with AT&T in the US?

Just wondering if it's possible to use the xt925 with the stock ROM on AT&T's network. I bought the phone from someone on CTO and they had already put a custom ROM on it and it is working on AT&T. The problem is that this ROM is not very smooth so I wanted to try put the stock one, but I don't want to lose the AT&T radio. Thanks

Yes, you can put the factory firmware on your XT925, pending on what's on it already. If it's on 4.1 Jelly Bean, you will need to unlock the bootloader before reverting to an older 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich firmware.
In either case, you can use the RAZR HD firmware from Rogers to restore your phone and keep compatibility with AT&T network.

Thanks for the reply. I've actually decided to stay with JB for now. I'm just wondering where the hell the modem is that flashes it to us AT&T. Is it the same as the Rogers one?

Correct, you need to use the Rogers modem for AT&T. Yo can use any XT925 firmware as long as you move over the Rogers modem, fsg and the correct XML files to that firmware.

I had a similar problem, never got any help that worked, ended up sending it in and got a replacement. Here is my thread, not sure it will help any. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2763671
Did you find a solution? I'm having the exact same problem (I live in Denmark). Modified some radio-settings with the Thunderbolt app and ended up with no signal. Don't know what to do!
Hi solved like that:
I have installed a custom rom. Than when finished I went in setting and I have selected gsm only. Than I have rebooted and installed an app called phone testing . Inside I went in phone setting and in the menu I have selected band and then automatic. Rebooted and it works.
Let me know

Thank you very much for your answer! However I'm still having the same issue. Installed a custom rom (ViperOne). Tried to select GSM Only in settings but it will not let me do that. It stays in Global mode for some reason.
I'm not sure if I found the right app (Phone Testing) but it looks a lot like the 'Thunderbolt' app that caused the signal issue (actually the apps are identical). In the phone testing app I tapped "Select band" and got those two options: "USA Band" and "Cellular (800-MHz Band)". Don't see any "Automatic"-options.
Yesterday when trying to improve my signal I tapped "Cellular (800-MHz Band)" in the "Thunderbolt" app and since then I haven't been able to get any signal.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Ok, I'll try that. But where did you download it? As far as I can see it's not compatible with the Verizon One M8.

I was wondering if you have LTE in France? Everything works perfect for me now except LTE. The Verizon ONE M8 should support all the LTE bands we use in Europe so I don't know why it doesn't work for me.

It appears to be a baseband-related problem as a lot of VZW M8 users have problems with LTE in the US also (with T-Mobile for example).
Unfortunately there is no much options for our devices as the only compatible radio is the Verizon "0.89.20.0321", (don't flash any GSM device radio as your could end with NO IMEI and NO BASEBAND because the partitions diference),
Because of that we don't have any other option than wait for HTC to roll out an update for Verizon's M8 radio. (I hope they release it soon).

I did the same thing as you, but at that time i used ARHD 11.1 - it was the latest available. I'm not sure about 20.3. I'm on Viper 2.5.0 now. I think you can use 11.2 that is available - it's 4.4.3 based, we don't have 4.4.4 base for verizon yet. Or you can PM me for a way to send you my copy of 11.1.

If you're on 4.4.3 firmware you can flash ARHD 11.1 safely - i already did it.
