got it for £245 as opposed to £380 brand new, very good condition boxed packaged
my back cover is white, what does this mean?
can i oc the gpu and cpu?
the serial or mpn is MTRXOOMNA32US does this mean its a us version?
actually it says it is MZ601 so i assume european
how does rooting work on this, do i need cwm? or is it already su and root stock?
can i update to latest software android and still use root and su?
im so confused, ive been reading android development but all so confusing
hey
just quick questions
does 3G work ok?
does it still have warranty?
is that white color you worry about or somethign wrong with tablet?
in terms of overclocking etc be sure you use images for your 3G xoom!
I have my 3G UK xoom myself and am much more happy with it after I rooted and installed Team EOS XOOM
ICS 4.0.3 umts_everest MZ601
NIGHTLIES
and have better performance in overall....
good luck with your xoom

I can't answer all of your questions, but look at the link in my signature...guide to rooting...and read it thoroughly...it may answer some. You will have to unlock the Xoom, following instructions after setting up adb on your computer...it's really pretty simple but you need to be prepared and follow directions...then you will enjoy your Xoom to the fullest.

[Q]: xoom MZ601 EUR 3g+wifi HC 3.1
There are so many threads about rooting/clockwork etc.. im quite stumped..
can somone point me in the right direction/thread please.
I have a xoom MZ601 EUR 3g+wifi, and id like to flash HC 3.1 and be able to use a microSD
clocking up the device would be a ad
hello
If you follow this link step by step you will have a UK 3g xoom with 3.1 on it. Working SD card and USB host function. Any problems pm me.

"Unlocked and rooted Euro XOOM with clockwork recovery"
how about that?
kinda afraid to use the wrong approach.. been hearing you wont be able to update to 3.2 etc when that comes..
future
in the future there will come a time when motorola wont push updates for the xoom at all
it takes them months now !!
dont worry about getting 3.2 at some point just because you use one of the guides here to get 3.1...
to be honest once you use the methods here your going to get a chance to update to 3.2 long before anyone else because some xda member is bound to release a working version that you can flash with cwm !!
so its a win-win really, as long as your happy with the risks ( what risks! ) your better off using an xda guide to upgrade to 3.1 and keep coming back for updates forever..
personaly my xoom is a UK xoom running 3.1 as instructed in the development thread ....." in 5 easy steps..."

Hello,
Just got my hands on a Wifi Xoom mz604. I have rooted my HTC desire and am running a modified version of LeeDroid but this Xoom seems a bit more complicated. I can't find anything that specifically says it's for the AU Wifi version.
Can anyone help me?
Sorry, it's on 3.1.

Well, WiFi only Xooms have the exact same hardware, no matter their country of origin. I know there are threads (in back pages by now) for rooting the AU Xoom, but they may have referred to the 3G models. Did you check the Rooting Heaven thread in the General section?
hi, thanks for the reply. Ended up figuring it all out, now running the us 3.2 rom and have clock work recovery.
Hi,
Got my xoom about 2 days ago and looking to put the team eos nightly ics rom on it,
However, I dont know what model my xoom is, The box does not really help. And the model number in settings just shows "xoom"
The xoom was bought brand new from America (Im in Australia) and it is the WIFI only version
Also i was wondering the easiest way to root the device?
Thanks

The Wifi only is MZ604 or sometimes referred to as Wingray. Here is a link to rooting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17129803
And here is a link to unlocking and flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11598889
Thanks for that, Ive just got to sort out how to set up adb, No idea on it..
the way it seems, The Xoom is much harder to root & install custom roms on than the Optimus 3d, SGS and the SGS2
Ok so im following this guide,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798
and have installed drivers and adb and all that stuff,
When i double click on fastboot, It pops up for about a second then goes away?
Not exactly sure what to do
Edit: Nevermind got it
hi guys,
i just bought a xoom in the uk as an impulse buy. usually i do a lot of reading on things like this so i dont usually need help when it comes to rooting, unlocking bootloader etc.
This has probably been asked but i tried searching and i just got more confused. I would like to know if the uk xoom (wifi only) can be rooted and if i can unlock the bootloader. i would like to install a jellybean rom if that is possible but i couldnt really find i guide on this particular version.
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Yes and Yes is the simple answer......
Best thing is to have a search on here and maybe Google and you should find some guides on how to do it.... The guide I followed (but don't remember where I found it) wasn't specifically written for a UK Xoom, but worked absolutely fine.....
The UK Xoom can be easily unlocked via ADB when connected to your PC.....
Unlocking the Bootloader will completely wipe the device though so ensure you have copied anything you want from the Xoom first....
Plenty of ROM choices - I am currently using EOS 3 (Nightly 155) which is Jellybean 4.1.2 but will jump over to EOS 4 on Jellybean 4.2 in due course....
Hi how are u all,iwant to buy Motorola XOOM MZ601 but iread in gsm arena that it's not upgradable to JB 4.2 so i want your advise is this aproblem?if yes is there a solution
many thanks and wating your reply
Yes you're right, but if you want to try you can use team eos 4 custom rom... there are the nightlies version but it still full of bugs, and the thread isn't created yet maybe teameos still working on it. You can use the team eos 3 jelly bean 4.1 (stable)

Sorry I just give you wrong answer, but you can go to development thread.. in my country there's a forum that explain how to root and how if the device bricked, or another what are you asking. I'm from indonesia.

If you can buy a newer one then go for that... 4.2 you can run but getting 3G is not something we can promise. I myself have MZ601 and I am using a custom ROM that is meant for MZ604 and hence I do not have 3G.
There will be no further development for this, so you might as well look for newer tabs if you want latest build, else you can definitely buy one

few things
1 - xoom is 2 years old, and will no longer receive official updates. all updates from now on will be through custom roms brought to us by wonderful developers like Team EOS and Team Rogue.
2 - there is still good support, just check out this forum. lots of stickies on what you need to know. use the search function and you should find everything you need.
3 - yes. my current xoom mz601 is running 4.2.1 thanks to the developers mentioned above. since it is from the US and currently i am also in egypt, i have to 3g service, so i just flash the wifi only roms. Search the forums, there are plenty of guides on rooting and flashing custom roms.
The Motorola Xoom is bound to receive it's final update in Jellybean 4.1 or 4.2 beyond that it's doubtful that Motorola will update. Unless they are not releasing another table this year.
you can check here: https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c
US xooms will get 4.1 and thats it.
Yup. I read bout it yesterday. It seemed to slip under my radar. Guess it's time to unlock and root to get updates. That's the beauty of android. Always an alternative.
