Can the mz604 (wifi only xoom) factory image from the motorola developer site be flashed via fastboot to the mz602 (4G xoom), basically converting the mz602 into a mz604?
I understand that the mobile data wouldn't work obviously, but I don't care about that as I don't have active Verizon service. I'm currently running Team EOS 1.0 and it is running great so I'm not just looking for a way to get ICS on my Xoom. I actually want to know if it is possible to convert my 4G xoom into a wifi xoom in terms of software so that I can enjoy the latest OTA updates without Verizon holding up the process.
Thanks.

Short answer: no.
And besides, if you are already on a custom rom then why not just stay on it?

hi,
I bought a Verizon 3G Xoom in the US and took it back home to Denmark. Now, the 3G doesn't work of cause, but on top of this some app (like Good Tech for Enterprise) won't run because they think I belong to the verizon network (that don't allow Good Tech).
So long story short. I don't need 3G and I would like to lose the verizon stigma. My xoom is already rooted. Can I run the Canadian wifi fireware on it?
Doubtful.

Im confused. If you read this thread:

The user successfully flashed Canadian firmware on a US WIFI version Xoom. If you read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022382
the user accidentally flashed 3G firmware on a WIFI and it seems to me that it worked until he tried to unroot it again.
Why would you state that its not possible?

3g firmware on wifi devices has already caused issues in the past.
I would assume that you are asking for nothing but trouble the other way as well.
Hi All,
I would like to know if there is a method to root/unlock the Australian version of the Motorola Xoom (Telstra branded).
Details listed here:
Model Number: MZ601
Android Version: 3.0.1
Firmware: GAS_ASIA_USAEVRSTUTELSAU_PO21
Baseband: N_01.83.28P
Baseband Config: UCAEVEUB1B8EU034.0R
Kernel: 2.6.36.3
Build Number: H6.1-38-9
Thanks all. I absolutely love this devices but I need super powers to enjoy it just like my Desire HD.
Use the same process for the EU UK Xoom, which is also an MZ601.
Hi
I did this today with mine, following these guides in the following order, the first one roots the 3.0.1 install our xooms shipped with, and the second one handles the upgrade to 3.1 and rooting on 3.1

Hi, I previousy flashed my xoom with the clockworkmod recovery images (HC 3.1), (which are US) and i dont have 3g anymore... is there a way to flash back to euro/AU stock or rooted (idk i just want 3g back lol)?
thanks in advance!
Upgrading to 3.1 and keeping 3g ??
Has anyone with a Telstra Xoom upgraded to 3.1 and kept 3g??
I have rooted my stock xoom now want to enable the SD and upgrade to 3.1 but would like to have a functioning 3g
I am having trouble finding the guide to enabling the sdcard. I have installed clockworkmod but it is useless without the sdcard ???
Help need ..... I am wondering if anyone out there are able to send me the files to enable 3g on Telstra as described in this post.
My situation is a follows. I have an Australian Telstra xoom and tried one of the 1 click root programs. After much pain and research I now realise 2 things. 1/ this completely stuffed by device, it now hangs at the logo on boot. 2/ even if it did work it is for US networks only. I have worked my way through the posts and have managed to recover the device by fastbooting with the euro boot.img described in this post. Problem is no 3g. This post provides a description of how to extract the Telstra 3g files for the device before it gets trashed. I did not do this. So I am assuming I now need to source these files from someone who has a working Telstra xoom.
Can anyone out these assist......

I Have the same problem! i tried to root my telstra xoom and got bricked.
I then flashed the german images.
I have now updated to HC 3.1, from the german rom to the us one, (i used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089695) hoping that it may fix the carrier probs, to no avail.
I can see the telstra network (as well as vodafone etc.) but the xoom doesnt connect to it, and if i try to manually pick the network, it says "registered on network" but i still dont have network access
Edit: Would someone be able to upload the files from their working telstra xoom, so that we can push them to ours in a last ditch effort?
Frustrating isn't it... I think if we can get someone to rip the telstra comms (as described in the original post) files off a working AUS Telstra Xoom we may be ok. This is a bit of a guess but worth a try?
see thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100372
which may have your answer
yes have a look at the thread suggested above as I have been the one posting to that and the files have fixed my 3g problems. Now connected to telstra no probs.
See my recent post on that thread as I still have a remaining problem with wifi.
YAY

Thanks So Much! (+1) I got it working now, with 3.01, couldnt make 3.1 work... but i dont care. as long as it works!
Hi all, I also have a Telstra Xoom (MZ601).
I have already upgraded to 3.1 and the Tiamat deodexed ROM 1.0, but before I did that I made a nandroid backup of the original images.
Like most people, I do not have 3G data capability, but I can apparently make and receive phone calls, so it is sort of working.
I have the original build.prop and other images; would they help?
I changed the baseband of my Xoom from GSM/UMTS to USA by a mistake.
No Idea how to reset this to european settings.
The mistake happened using the app "Netzwerk" by Phillipp Mangelow.
Since then there is no chance to get an internet connection.
All settings i can directly access are ok.
The above named app has an error and offers only "USA" as selection of baseband.
Has anyone an idea how to reset this or knows an app which modifies this setting?
Xoom without radio is not even a half xoom
Kind regards,
Willy
Try tiamat new rom, there is a possibility to change it back to EURO mode
Hi,
i use a international version of motorola xoom mz601 in india and have updated to android 3.1 and use the latest baseband n_01.83.35p.
after this update the band changed to USA band 800Mhz? i cannot use any network 2G or 3G and the motorola doesn't show any network operators.
i really want to revert back the settings.now how can i downgrade my baseband and what commands i need to execute also i have tried moving to stock 3.0.1 but no change in baseband.
any apk file that would help me change the band?
thank you.
Please help
If you are rooted, and if you have a previous backup done thru recovery before, just go to recovery, advanced restore and restore system only. It should bring back your baseband.

What I did was go back to a stock 3.1 provider firmware. Being in India I used Original rom. I flashed boot, system, data and recovery. At that point the 3g radio still wont work, Let it do the OTA updates to bring it to 3.2.2 and it will start working, I think one of the OTA updates flashes the modem and or bootloader and resets it to the correct band.
I could then go back to a custom rom and it was all good, I make sure I stay away form the band settings in future.
Xoom Model in title. I have the official Rom HI66 Or whatever FROM Motorola Dev site. The 4 .imgs I need to flash. My problem is when I go to flash the system.img I get an error (00120000) and it doesn't flash. I have tried on a laptop and desktop.

Has your Xoom ever been sent in for the 4G/LTE upgrade? or is it still 3G only? I ask because the 3G models as shipped were MZ600, and post 4G Upgrade they report MZ602. I would question if this impacts which ROM you need to flash.
The fastboot files posted at => http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/ have HRI66 for the 3G (non upgraded) xoom MZ600, and HLK75D for the 4G/LTE Upgraded Xoom MZ602.
Mine was an original MZ600 3G/Wifi Xoom, sent away and upgraded to 4G/LTE, now reports MZ602. I've never tried flashing the MZ600 files to it after the upgrade, so I don't know what would happen.
If yours has been upgraded, maybe try flashing the HLK75D files.
I had to switch phones this week and have an old Razr HD Maxx - XT926.
I bought from ebay and never really used it before - it has bootloader unlocked, rooted and running Pacman 4.4 ROM.
Anyway I live in Ireland can can't get my SIM recognised.
It get the error No signal!! your sim does not allow a connection to this network or unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped
Reading through the forum i see there are know issues with the XT926 users that are outside the US, use SIM cards and Custom ROMS.
What is the quickest way to get my phone actually to work as a phone
I think i can flash back to Stock?
Can i flash a XT925 ROM without bricking?
Is there a Custom ROM i can use that does not have this GSM issue -Currently have teh JB Bootloader so ideally a ROM compatible with that?
Build.prop attached.
I tried this patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394689
But get the message This not seem to be a Verizon Phone
Any help is much appreciated.
The quickest way to get your phone working would probably be to download "DROID RAZR HD XT926 Utility 1.4 KK" found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474393
Make sure to read the instruction while you charge your phone's battery to 100% before flashing. I assume that you've already done something like this?: http://firstandgeek.com/solved-unfortunately-process-com-android-phone-stopped/
And yup, this is stock firmware.
I am using XT926 in Europe as well, and there's a few thing you should do with the stock Verizon firmware:
1) Get root
2) Disable the annoying "Sim card is from an unknown source" ("VzwPhoneService.apk")
3) Download Titanium Backup and freeze all VZW apps and unnecessary services.
4) Wireless Hotspot hack
OR.........
You could download CM12 Lollipop, but this will probably take more time than the previous option.
