Any support at all for Xoom 2 MZ615 (EU)? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking through this forum and still am stunned that at least four different devices are mixed into a single forum, but my specific question is: is there any ROM support at all for Motorola Xoom 2 MZ615 (EU)? Am I stuck with Android 3.2.2?

The Xoom 2 was unfortunately, pretty dead on arrival.

[Q] Bricked SAWEE10

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum. I have a problem with my chinese tablet that I bought some months ago. First of all I've seen everywhere on the net and I've understood that people in some forums are more confused than me. Anyway these are the specifications of my tablet:
CPU: Infotm X210, 1 Ghz
RAM: 512 MB
HDD: 4 GB
Battery: 6400 mha
1 SD slot, 2 USB ports, 1 HDMI, 1 LAN etc.. The charger sayis 9V and the screen resolution should be 1024x600, but I'm not shure. On the box where it arrived it shows the writing 'Superpad with Google', and reports a model: CEMX210. The book of instructions provided with it's probably wrong because it shows the model: PC1002I and some pics of another model with 2 SD slots.
The firmware before installed had the following specifications:
Model number: SAWEE10
Android version: Android2.2_20110430
Build number: FRF85B
I've seen that also that also the carton where it arrived it's wrong because it shows again the damned 2 SD slots. So now formaly I don't know which model I have, I suppose it's a clone. The site where I bought it said it's a Jpad Flytouch 3.
Another thing: before doing some updates it didn't show a wrinting on the startup (except for the two main android ones). Now it shows: Infotmic 0.6.1.5(672), and I imagine that's not a good thing.
Can you help me recovering this bricked tablet ?

Welcome, the XDA community is about development. There are several other sites that might be able to specifically address your specific questions and issues.
Posting a message at one of the sites, noted below, more suited to user assistance will probably lead to a quicker resolution. Answers that may apply are already posted! If possible search first.
Your tablet is probably a Fake Flytouch 3 Guide: Superpad III, Jpad Sawee10 Beware.
Here are a couple of support sites with information related to your issue.
Tabletsmania.es - Restoring the Model SAWEE10. (Spanish to English Google Translation)

Good luck

[XOOM 2][Advice] Is the Xoom 2/Xyboard interesting ?

Hello everyone,
I'm currently thinking about buying a new tablet (I've already tried the first galaxy tab and the transformer) and I found a nice deal (in France) for the Xoom 2 Media Edition.
Would you recommend the media edition for 265$ (in fact it's 265€ but since 1$=1€ for all the manufacturers...) ? I mean I know the xoom 2 is not a big improvement upon the first version but do you think this is a good deal ?
Also it doesn't seem that the community is interested in the xoom 2. I fear that there won't be any custom rom or any other work done on this table. Am I correct ?
Thanks for your responses !
The problem is that it doesn't appear to be unlockable and rootable at this time, so no development. If you don't care about that, go for it. If you want to tinker and customize, get an original Xoom. ICS (Android 4.0.3) builds are already here! Awesome!

[XOOM 2] Xoom 2 Media Edition

Hi,
So i have a xoom 2 media edition (uk version) .. cant seem to find much out about rooting/unlocking the bootloader.
does anyone know the status on this ?
sorry to post here, but doesnt seem to be a xoom 2 section yet
me too
got myself one too.
MODs, please create XOOM2/ME forum, especially because Xoom2 and Xoom2ME is based on different chipset (non-tegra, and none of the Xoom1 tricks works on it)
For now, the tablet's bootloader is non-unlockable, all root exploits i have found fail.
I suspect after (if at all) the bootloader is unlocked, some of the Galaxy Nexus tricks will work.
On topic, this tablet urgently needs root because motorola in its [motocast promotion] ingenuity locked firewall ports 80,8080,21 etc. on the tablet... so no FileXpert web/ftp sharing, no samba, no way to access files directly.
got one too
Yeah got one today as well and interest a custom ROM as well also quick question to ask, can you add micro sd card and if yes how? and when using Swype is anybody experience very bad lag?
No sd card slot on xoom 2 - although the cover is there
Cheers zonyx I thought that but on the instructions inside the box it tells.you to take out the placholders and put a sd card in but 16GB should be fine

yeah, i read the same - even the sim card slot is there also.
its a bit of a downer though that motorola couldnt even be bothered to just completely seal the case
Agree with zeer, could a mod create a sub section for xoom 2 and xoom 2 me?
Maybe one is enough as they both seems to have same hardware.
Who do with need to contact to get a new sub catagory
I believe the ME and Xoom 2 are the same hardware just different screen sizes
If anyone needs any system info etc... I can put my ME up for testing

I agree. IMHO Xoom 2 ME is the best android tablet available that money can buy (i.e. not including Transformer Prime) but pre-installed software sucks. I have no idea how motorola have managed to decrease the performance by so much but root and CM9 would make this pieace of hardware what it should have been by delivery
xoom2 forum plz ... The tablet is very good .great size (the reason i bought it ) great screen , very good built quality , speakers and camera . Needs update to ics and root access .. The price in europe is good if you compare it with other tegra 2 devices but in few months ti omap processor will be outdated ...
I took my xoom 2 me back, it suffered from awful lag on the browser and WiFi kept disconnecting, maybe a bad build but didn't want to risk it with another maybe ics will solve these but got the HTC flyer for half the price and its a lot better and more responsive with GB on as well
But on a positive I agree the sound quality is very good

Hello i just bought my xoom2 from uk
Hello,
I`m new to the Forum, but a reader since a little while.
I have bought a Xoom 2 Media Edition too from UK, and can only say I like it pretty much sofar.
Hope that ICS 4.0 will come soon.
Is there any knowledge at all if a root hack might be possible and when ?
Many thanks for any kind of input or links at all.
Have been googling around for hours but didn't find anything usable...
EDIT: The Fact of the lacking Storage is really annoying (no USB or SD) but that Motorola blocked the Ports mentioned really sucks. I will contact the Motorola Support for this, after failing to make a ftp connection work for hours ....
Cheers & Greetings

Hi,
I have some blinking texts (and also small blinking squares) sometimes in the market for example.
Entering text in the browser (like what I'm currently doing on xda) is very laggy (with default keyboard and default browser) every striked key takes a little time to display.
Also, the green pointer used to move the cursor and the cursor himself are not well aligned.
Do you also have these issues?
moderators can you create a xoom2 forum please we need it .....
I do notice a little lag from keyboard... I dont use mouse on mine at the moment.
Swiftkey is bit better...
ive put a post on the suggestion thread about a xoom 2 sub forum.

Hi,
I've made a video of freezes I have in fruit ninja (it's only an example, I have the same thing in other games, and many other problems previously described here).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xi8_oKDp3Q (look for example at 0:12, 0:18, 0:29, 0:43, 0:46, ...)
before making this video I have hard reseted my tablet and the only app installed after the reset was fruit ninja.
do you have the same behaviour or mine is defective?
Hello, my friends.
I bought xoom 2 ME also.
1. USB host does not work.
2. no sd card
3. I have light spots on border on dark background
4. 16 hours in standby mode (wifi- off, all applications were closed)
Have you any suggestions?
1. I haven't tried yet, I'll test as soon as I receive my cable
2. like every xoom2 ME
3. I also see these light spots on black screens, it seems like it's normal.
4. You surely have a running app eating your cpu/battery, look in battery usage if you see something, I do not have this problem.

[Q] [XOOM2/XYBoard] UK Wifi version Rooting?

Hi everyone
I've just bought myself a Xoom 2 UK wifi tablet. I got it to replace my HP Touchpad which has given me great service over the past two years in its Android incarnation. However, after updating it from its original GB to ICS, I've noticed that a fair few of my daily used apps are missing from the play store. So its fairly important that I root the Xoom. I've seen that there are a multitude of different versions which seem to differ markedly from each other in terms of rooting and upgrading so I'd like some help in knowing if there are any one button solutions to it and the best/safest way to get root. Thanks in advance.

[Q] XOOM 2 MZ616 and CM11

Hello everybody..
There is some sites stating CM10 everest can be installed on MZ616..
http://androidjinn.com/cm10-android...for-motorola-xoom-3ginstallation-guide.html/2
http://www-motorolaxoom.blogspot.com.br/2013/12/cm10-android-412-jelly-bean-rom-para.html
Despite no screenshots of the achivement be shared till now, I wonder if this brand new CM11 everest (http://duckbox.info/android/cm-11.0/latest.php/everest) could be applied to XOOM 2 MZ616 (aka XYBOARD in USA).
Differences between XOOM and XOOM 2 resides specially on graphics chipset, and although XOOM 2 comes with with TI OMAP chip (that theoretically should be more compatible with android OS), XOOM with nVidia chip is the one officially supported by Cyanogen.
I tried to post this on the developer related forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596566), but system blocked me (too new here), so the reason for this thread..
Anyone could help, please..?!
Many XOOM 2 and XYBOARD owners will be very grateful if this one works on them, since they have enough hardware capabilities to run KitKat..
Thanks!
I totally agree with you, it could be a nice present! I know it's old but jellybean is running by now on many devices with same specs.
