[Q] UK Xoom WiFI to GED (ICS OTA?)

Hi Guys
I've got a 604 UK Xoom Wifi with Honeycomb 3.2 running. I've not rooted it or flashed it.
I'm looking for the easiest way to make it a GED that will receive OTA updates to ICS and then Jellybean when it comes out. I've looked through numerous threads and am really confused!
Any recommendations are much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Im sure someone will come by and point to a guide on XDA but in the interim I did this on my UK Wifi only Xoom to get to GED (and thus ICS)
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-hacking-guides/6591-how-uk-wifi-us-ged.html
Took all of 30 mins max to complete.

I've thanked you, thanks.
Did you get ICS automatically, or did you need to check for the updates?
Also, what version of Windows/Linux are you running?

Dear All,
I new to android.I have done manual update from ICS to Jelly bean. It was success. But i got one main issue. Earlier my device(TF300 TL) comes with 4G/3G from telcom operator. (M1 - Singapore). After JB, tablet can not find 3G/4G network (wi-fi is working fine). When i try to set APN details...it is not saving just vanishes...So, how to make the APN setting stable.so i can get the 3G/4G network. This issue not new JB, even some earlier version has issue on APN setting.I tried few forums for APN setting.. can not solve the issue.. (I can enter APN setting as my operator suggested...but can not save...)
Any tricks ?
Please help me, with out 4G,the transformer not very useful. Hope i have not missed any info.
Many thanks,

I did on 5th October.. download firmware WW firmware from Asus website and unroot my device.and install it. So far no issue. only things is APN settings CAN NOT be saved. not sure how to fix this issue?
In case, Ausus give automatic OTA to JB , not sure what i have to do to OTA JB? Please advise...

Hi,
I am from Singapore too and am using M1 too. I got Jelly Bean OTA alert last week and updated it last weekend and everything is fine..
What i am thinking is that you might have manually updated the TG ver instead of the LT ver which have caused your 3G/4G to be missing. Think you better send it to Asus repair center or revert back to ICS.
I am a root user too but i dont usually change or update my ROMs when there is no OTA for my device.

Think you have to send it back to Asus, you are installing a non 3G rom on a 3g set.... thats why you dont have the 3G option.
The key point is that you have to wait for the OTG alert then update.... dont go and download the wrong verison.....
FYI
TF300T is wifi version
TF300TG is 3G + wifi version
TF300TL is LTE (aka 4G) + wifi version

Install the correct firmware with fastboot! Now I have 3G! THX!

Hello Bro Flashben,
You are right.I am not aware of that little difference (TG instead of LG). . Today, return the tablet to Asus service center. They may to try to downgrade but NO guarantee for successful downgrade. It takes 5 working day..Waiting with hope.
In the same time, even with TG firmware why Mobile APN can not set..still mystery for me.. (or is it a bug in JB ??)
Many thanks, to all who replied.
-Cheers!

I believe LTE aka 4G uses different hardware or software as 3G so that's why it will affect anything that is mobile but not wifi when you update your TL pad with TG version.
Try to look for other downgrade method available at xda forum.

Hi vc, hows your asus pad?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300TG using xda premium

I got my Asus Transformer Pad 300 (3g and wifi) two days ago and it worked fine at home (on wifi)... ad then it updated to Jellybean by itself, and everything was fine till I tried using it on 3g in the city today, and oh the horrors... it works.. but it randomly stops working - no network, just like that. When I try to search for one, it says "Error while searching for network"... I reboot it, it works for a few minutes and off it goes again, but if the wifi is enabled, the network vanishes as soon as I turn the pad on...
Is that a Jellybean problem? I am going to try and replace it tomorrow, and I hope I can stop the update to JB...

Its jb issue.... you need to trigger ur 3g ( off and on again) then its ok.. but there is another update for the kernels then it seems better.

I went to my operator and exchanged the pad for a new one... and when that one wanted to update to Jellybean, I said no and it works now.
But... is there sa safe way to go to Jellybean? Without having to root the pad?

[Q] Nexus S weak Wifi and GSM

I recently purchased a Nexus S (M200) and I am experiencing very low Wifi and GSM signals. In fact, it's so low that I can't even make calls from GSM when indoors and need to get outdoor to get fair signals. Similar issue is with Wifi and I have to be within 10 meters to get a stable Wifi connection.
I have tried various roms and kernels but the problem remains. Even went back to stock gingerbread rom and the same problem. Any suggestion to get this fixed? Seems like a hardware issue and my phone is not under warranty!
Help appreciated.

I experienced the same thing on Cyanogen 10.1 nightly but when I was on stock 4.1 it was ok.
Maybe it's your provider which don't have a good network where you are.
I am sorry for my english I hope you will undrstand me.

I can try that. Any suggestion for a reliable radio to use?

You should get the most recent baseband (radio) firmware update for your model of Nexus S. If you search the forums, you should be able to find a thread all the basebands linked. Be sure to only install the one for the model you have, because the wrong one will not work.

Flashed the latest and tested a few others but the same problem

Hi, kamran666,
If you purchased it used I would check if WiFi and GSM antennas are there and properly connected.
Take a look on this video from 2:33.
Hope in might help.

[Q] Unlocked, Trwped and looking for a rom to run

Greetings, I recently unlocked and will be rooting my wife's Asus tf300. Main reason being it seemed to running slow and jerky considering the specs. It was on 4.2.1, it's now unlocked, and has twrp 2.5 installed. I'm looking for some suggestions for some roms which are fast, light and as close to bugless as possible. Thanks in advance =)

Cromi-x is your best bet mate but the hydro is giving sbdags a run for his money

Does Hydro work on TF300TG? I have it downloaded but after being burned by both Grimlock and Xenogenesis, I kind of don't have the patience to try yet ANOTHER rom within my first week of owning the device...

no mate its just for the tf300t but there is a grimlock that was made for the tf300tg and cromi has a kernel for the tf300tg too so did you pick the right ones?

So what he is saying is that he can't follow the instructions that everyone else managed to fine?
Anyway I'd love to know as I have never known anyone catch fire or get scorched whilst flashing my ROMs

I managed to install the roms; however:
-Grimlock disconnects from wifi every 15-20 seconds - it's not that the wifi radio turns off, it just loses connection and attempting to reconnect gives me a Failed. Turning off wifi radio and turning it back on gives me connection for another 15-20 seconds.
-Xenogenesis seems to take the crazy-screen problem up to 11: I get rapid-fire random inputs in the webcam side of the device for no reason, with no real way to get it back to normal. This occurs both with thatkernelv3 and 10.6.2.3 TG kernel.
Yesterday, I flashed stock 10.6.2.6 and although it still has crazy-screen, it's defeatable by just locking the device and unlocking it again. And Wifi stays connected!

it sounds like you might have a hardware problem mate

Yea man, those are some funky problems. That's the first I heard of any screen glitch and hundreds upon hundreds of people are running CROMI.
I've also never heard of the wifi issues on GRIMLOCK from the like 5 people that use it lol. Did you try the newest 1.3.1 version?

Wifi Drops on Droid Ultra

I had wifi drops before on an Atrix2 on stock when I updated via OTA to ICS.
When I installed custom roms, that problem wasnt there, I had a problem and I had to flash stock rom with rsd lite for some reason the issue was gone.
I think the problem comes when the phone is updated via OTA, maybe it wilk be gone if I flash a stock rom with RSD lite.
Is there anyway to solve it? Did anybody have this problem before?

Solved!

Just changed Wifi Frequency Band to 2.4ghz in advanced.
This has worked for me with lots of wifi networks but dont know why there is still 1 which continues with the problem.
