Options for Verizon 3G Xoom - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just ordered a recertified Verizon 3G Xoom, and I didn't think about the implications of it being a Verizon device. This is NOT upgraded to 4G LTE -- will the "Stingray" builds of the various ROMS still work? Is there any way to apply WIFI-only ROMS (including stock) if I don't care about the 3G working? Given the age of the device I really want to get Jelly Bean on it.
I will need to cancel this order ASAP if the answers to these questions turn out to be "no"...

Same question from me.
Can we install the WiFi only version of ROMs (CM9 in particular) onto a Verizon 3G Xoom and have it work for everything EXCEPT the 3g? I could honestly care less about ever activating it on Verizonas long as WIFI works.

From reading a bit in the Development sub-forum, it looks like there's a JB leak for the VZW version, and either version (WIFI Only or VZW) of the EOS 3 ROM should work. I think I will keep my order.

Thanks. I'm placing my order as soon as Wife says OK. If you don't mind, and if you remember, please send me a PM of how it goes with the flashing once to get yours.
Would love to coordinate what we do since there doesn;t seem like a whole lot of certainty exists about what we are trying to do.

I'm probably just going to flash the EOS 3 WIFI Only version. According to one of the devs, it should work fine:

But I will try to remember to let you know how it goes.

Any luck? I also have a Xoom 3G MZ600 on the way and could careless about 3G...

hasnt eos got jellybean roms for all versions of the xoom? 3g should work imo
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

I'm in the same boat and curious to see if anybody has any words of wisdom. I love my refurbed Xoom 3G but am eager to get JB on it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

FWIW everything I have heard/read seems to indicate that it is possible to flash WiFi only ROMs on the 3G Xoom, and apparently everything will work fine except for the 3G (naturally). I haven't taken the plunge yet myself, still running stock ICS.
Is there any word on whether the Verizon 3G Xoom will get Jelly Bean?

It can be done....
I purchased a used 3g Xoom around Apr 2012. After initially unlocking / rooting and installing a ROM (EOS) on my 3g Xoom, the 3G radio wasn't working so I started fresh. I locked the device and SBF'd the original Xoom firmware, then used the official over the air (OTA) upgrades to get back to stock ICS. I thought this might fix the 3g issue; it did nothing.
EOS Roms overclock the GPU by default, which caused problems with my (and my wife's Wifi version) Xoom. My only requirements for a ROM are stability, no clutter from dumb carrier installed applications, compatibility, and of course root access. I found a pre-rooted stock Jellybean rom, but it was for the Wifi Xoom. It worked great on my wife's though; and heard rumors that it could work with mine.
*SO*...I took a leap of faith and installed it. It works great. No 3g radio of course, but I gave up on trying to get that to work anyway...so if you don't care about losing your 3g , this will probably work for you. I don't think my 3g will ever work, but I suspect this won't ruin yours if it is currently working. Don't hold me to that; this is a risk.
Random notes and refresher info:
-you will need an SD card. I'm pretty sure the following instructions will only work if you use one.
-If at any point you get the android guy with an orange exclamation point during boot...it is probably ok, just let it sit there for a couple minutes. it should continue to boot into whatever ROM you are currently on. Make sure you enable usb debugging in settings after boot.
-to access RSD, Recovery, or Fastboot mode, press and hold your power button to start the Xoom booting. When you see the Motorola logo, wait a second then press the volume down button. Then you can use volume down again to cycle through your options, and use volume up to choose one.
-the exact differences between RSD / Fastboot and Recovery modes are beyond the scope of this post (and me) so just know that your Xoom can be modified using software on your PC via USB with RSD and Fastboot modes, and stock recovery can be replaced with modified versions to add more functionality. Recovery is used to do all sorts of things...flash Roms, mount drives, format, cleanup caches, etc.

General instructions. Just guidelines; you will probably need some previous experience with computers / rooting etc.
(If you are already unlocked, rooted, and have a replacement recovery, skip to the last step.)
1.) Follow this guide to prep your Xoom: (unlocking, rooting, and install CWM recovery)
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-development/15179-how-rookie-rooting-flashing-unrooting-under-one-roof.html
Note: you may have heard of Lord AOI tool; it is supposedly designed to simply the above process. I found it didn't work well and was more difficult to use than good ol' adb commands. I recommend skipping it.
2.) OPTIONAL: Next, I recommend using the latest Rogue recovery. Just use standard CWM recovery to flash it. It is nice because it allows you to use the touchscreen to manipulate instead of having to use the hardware buttons (volume buttons are kind of a pain). See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170
3.) Finally, flash the pre-rooted stock Jellybean ROM. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796335

Broken cellular radios and OC'd GPUs

Hi,
I bought a used 3G Verizon Xoom a few months ago. Now, I don't know if I somehow ruined the cellular hardware and / or firmware (or if it came that way), but the 3G radio does not work properly. Android reports 'Network: Unknown / Mobile Network Type: Unknown / Service State: Out of Service' etc. Verizon says the MEID is clean.
This is not a huge deal, as I didn't plan to activate it on Verizon's network. (of course, I would prefer that the radio worked so I had the option, but oh well)
Moving on...I have tried Team EOS Jellybean ROMS for both myself and my wife (Wifi only Xoom) and had bad luck while playing video on both devices; I suspect due to overclocked GPU.
She is currently running a pre-rooted stock Jellybean that operates perfectly.
But, that leaves me hanging. Here are my most basic needs; leaving out food, shelter and beer:
1.) a rooted ROM, preferable Jellybean...and absolutely not overclocked. Especially GPU.
2.) I don't care if the ROM doesn't support the 3g radio, as the hardware doesn't seem to function anyway
3.) would love a stock ROM but without the Verizon / Moto crapware. The cleaner the better
Does such a ROM exist? Can I use the one I found for her WiFi Xoom and install it with no ill effects? It has some mild crapware, but if that is my only option....
I'm currently running stock non-rooted ICS 4.0.4. Last week I rebuilt the tablet up from ground up to see if it would restore the 3g radio, but no luck.
Thanks for anyone taking the time to read and respond.
-greg

No one bothered to reply, so I will reply to myself to hopefully help others in this situation:

[Q] Questions regarding the TF300TL

I got the Asus Transformer TF300TL, US model with the LTE support, for Christmas. It came with ICS, which I was not happy with having come from the regular TF300T with JB for the past 8 months. I had MAJOR lag issues, graphics problems and such. I kept searching the web at least once a week to see if there was any news on the TF300TL getting an upgrade to JB. Could not find anything. I even emailed Asus directly to find out if there was any chances later on down the line (the person that helped me knew nothing, telling me that I could use the WW build software with no problems. I knew this person just didn't understand but tried anyway, just in case. The tablet didn't even see the file.) Well, at the end of Feb, the TF300TL finally got the boot up to 4.1, which helped a bit but I'm still finding alot of lags, error messages about how the app that I'm trying to start is taking too long and would I like to wait and such. I successfully rooted the tablet tonight (without having to unlock the bootloader) via the motochopper tool (AMAZING and freaking FAST tool for getting root on ANY device, if you're looking for an easy way to root) and now I'm looking at possibly flashing some custom ROMs onto my tablet, in an effort to get rid of this lag and headache. I know there aren't many, if at all ANY, ROMs for the TF300TL and that I could possibly use ROMs built for the TF300T but I will lose my LTE capabilities. Does anyone know of a way that I can somehow get the LTE software from the stock ROM to be able to keep the LTE once on a regular TF300T ROM? I'll be honest, I don't really use the LTE much, since I'm usually around a wifi signal and I have my Nexus 4 that I can use as a hotspot while out and about, as well as 2 Virgin Mobile hotspots. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this tablet and getting anything other than stock running on it. Also, if I'm stuck with just the stock ROM, is there a way that I can flash TWRP recovery without unlocking or is that not possible? I've already tried twice tonight and it starts out good but then when it looks like it's writing the recovery to the recovery partition, it says "fail". Thanks!

install cleanrom inerhitance 3.4.6 (the newer cleanrom xenogenesis 4.x still dont support 300tg/tl) and
andrew_z1 kernel from its companion kernel package, it should work on TL models with 4g active (unter's kernel works only on tg models, even if the name sais "tg/tl")
btw, please divide your messages in paragraphs, it helps a lot for readability - my eyes crossed while reading your word wall there.

Thanks so much for the quick reply! I really wasn't expecting something for a week or so, at least. I will remember your advice about posts for later. Sorry for this time.
I have unlocked my tablet and flashed that ROM and the kernel you recommended but neither the WiFi nor LTE work. I'm still able to go back to my backup of the stock ROM and everything works (Thank God). Any other ideas about what I could do? Thanks again!!

I've even tried some of the other kernels that are in his kernel installer tool but I get the same thing every time (no WiFi and no LTE, not even 2G/3G). I even tried just keeping the stock kernel. I've messaged the guy that developed the ROM so hopefully he'll have some info. In the meantime, I'm gonna reread the whole post again (all 200+ pages) to see if I missed anything.
Thanks again!

DESPERATE. Stuck at M Logo. No rom, no backup, no sdcard support

Okay, I've read every possible thread on every possible site trying to get my Xoom 3g VZW up and running again.
Long story short, here's where I am right now.
Bootloader is unlocked
Newest version on TWRP is installed
I have no backups
I have nothing on the Xoom
SD Card has a rom and gapps waiting, HOWEVER, I can't access my SD card in the Xoom
Cannot get ADB to recognize the Xoom at all, whatsoever.
I don't care if I have to go back to Stock/Locked (I'd prefer to just get this rom pushed and installed).
HELP!
You say 3G VZW Xoom? You never sent it for the upgrade? If so, make sure you use the MZ600 firmware files only.
I ran into a similar situation (Stuck with Red M on my screen) with my VZW 4G Xoom a while ago when I tried a Wifi Only ROM, then tried to go back to "stock" I posted how I fixed it here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803219 BUT I'm not sure that will work for a 3G MZ600 or not.
You could always try the Moto Stock fast boot files which are available here -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/rom-images

Correct. I bought it back on day one and never attached it to my Verizon account. I just used it as a wifi only tablet (at that point in time, the Wi-fi only version had not been released). So, I never sent it in.
I'm going to try with the fast boot files, but don't the require adb to be working? That's my biggest issue. No matter what I do, I can't get adb to recognize my tablet.

I don't believe ADB working is required. The power on, then press volume button allowed me toggle and put my Xoom in Fastboot as well as RSD modes.

Samsung Galaxy Discover S730M (and S730G) Custom ROM - by doctor_evil

No longer own this phone, and no longer have a copy of the rom so this is no longer being developed.
Thanks to @shifattk and @FitAmp for the overclock
Thanks to @Restl3ss, who is working on a rooted and overclocked, otherwise bone stock ROM
Thanks to @atmu5fear, who made the first flashable rom for the S730M, I based my Rom off your original release.
changes I made from the stock 4.04 image
Rooted
BusyBox
Overclocked to 1000mhz
Nova Launcher
Default Ringtone: Crank
Disabled power on and power off boot sounds
Bloat Removed
Theme Changes
Zipaligned
Replaced Samsung keyboard with the google keyboard (much better IMHO)
Stable
Working and tested. Tested on a S730M as well as a S730G
Flashing instructions:
1. Use CWM 6.0.3.1 Get it here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1BxFtN0QItNUExLMHBWT1loQjg/edit?usp=sharing, flash with Odin)
2. Make a backup, if things go wrong for you, you cause use the backup to restore your phone's original firmware.
3. WIPE DATA/CACHE
4. Flash
5. Wipe Dalvik.
6. Reboot
NOTE: I can not and will not be responsible for any damage this rom could potentially cause on your phone, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveat_emptor

It's a nifty little phone. I personally think it's better than a Nexus S but just suffers from the typical Samsung pump and dump routine where they sold all their inventory to the carriers then stopped supporting it with any updates.
Good job! I have 3 versions of the stock ROM available for this device as well, may have been more appropriate for a base, there's stock, stock + root + Busybox, stock + root + Busybox + overclock. Find them here

It doesnt take a sim card so no GSM. Is there any other ROMs that you would know of? We are kind of stuck out with this model, it kinda sucks lol.

You may be able to use the same CWM recovery on that model,
you should be able to probably use the same kernel to overclock your model too, and you can probably use the kitchen app we used to cook these different version roms for the 730M and 730G models to do your own custom rom, just remember before you start working, to do a full nandroid backup of the current rom so you can restore it back to the original (mostly stock except for the cwm recovery) firmware if you need to later on.
By any chance this will unlock it or do you know a way for me to get the unlock using hex?
Thanks to doctor evil for this ROM I was able to flash my phone but not before removing more apps (bell apps and oothers ).
I was wondering if anyone was successful in unlocking the tethering? Tried a few things out there and the best I could get was Bluetooth tethering with foxfi.
And it works!
@doctor_evil: I flashed your set after having played with @atmu5fear's version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2673097). I like them both very much and am still looking which one I will keep. I have not wiped data/cache (i.e. Factory Reset) before overlaying your version over @atmu5fear's one, and it did not hurt. I noticed the following:
Flashing your ROM did not again trip the ROM counter after applying the triangleaway script after @atmu5fear's ROM load (it did go off then).
When having a SIM in the S730M and after putting in the phone unlock password, the keyboard stays on top (this does not happen when no SIM is present)
My Battery-drain problem when having the phone powered fully off with a SIM installed is still there. Probably need to await a cooked custom ROM for this to be solved
The triangleaway script for the S730M can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420184
The Battery-Drain S730M issue has been noticed by quite a few people (TELUS and BELL, both in Canada), and is unexplainable. When the phone is on (with SIM installed), power usage is normal, but when you power off the phone (with SIM still installed) the power-drain goes up dramatically (draining the battery completely within a few hours). When the SIM is removed, or when the battery is removed there is no abnormal drain perceived. The other thing is, that, when the device, with SIM and battery installed, is powered off, both the battery area and the SIM area get warm (not really hot), indicating SIM activity WHILE THE DEVICE IS OFF... Very odd. I am hoping that a new KK custom ROM would fix this issue as both 'custom' 4.0.4 ROMS I have tried now show the same issue, indicating it is either a hardware or a 4.0.4 implementation issue...
I am sorry I never responded back to you. I had my Cygwin install with my kitchen build environment running on a SSD hard drive with my OS and the drive crapped out on me and had to be sent in for a RMA. I had a easus todo workstation backup of my drive I was able to restore, but the backup wasn't current so I lost my kitchen environment. I never tried to set it up again as I had hoped that someone would have ported Cyanogenmod to the phone.
I may give it a try again as I just setup a vmware ESX host server here at home and I can allocate multiple cores and plenty of ram to the linux Virtual Machine I created on it once I figure out the best build environment and how to actually go about building CM successfully. Anyone know of a porting cyanogenmod for dummies guide I can use? LOL

Buying soon. Question concerning roms

So, I'm buying this to replace my evo 4g and I was wondering how I would go about using a custom ROM for this and having the apns and data working correctly.
I plan to activate it on Ting.
To be a bit clearer, I want to use a custom ROM and I want to be sure that it'll work. So first, can anyone on Ting confirm that they're running a custom ROM (preferably KitKat) with no problems?
And I assume I'd have to activate the phone first, then install a custom ROM. Would I have any problems doing that? Would the apns be messed up? Or should everything be fine as long as I activate the phone and update everything on stock before installing a ROM? Reason I ask is because I know some Roms don't allow the *#*# thing needed to activate a phone on a new network.
Thanks!
I am using mine on Ting. I had used my first Q as unrooted stock JB, which worked pretty well for a year, but then it reached a near--bricked state where it wouldn't boot past the yellow Sprint screen. I couldn't resolve this in a timely fashion, so wound up buying a second Q which runs stock ICS, but failed to download the stock JB update.
In the meantime, I unlocked both phones' bootloaders, and tried a few kItkat ROMs on my original phone before settling on CM 10.2, which is a JB ROM. I then switched my Ting activation (back) to this phone. The lack of #*# commands isn't really a problem with respect to re-activation, but it is a problem with respect to PRLs and (perhaps) APNs. I recommend Ting activation and a PRL update prior to installing your custom ROM.
Like others, I would like to learn about a stable kitkat ROM where bluetooth, wifi, and phone data/sms/calling all work reliably. My other primary requirement is the ability to play DRM'd downloaded Amazon Prime Music, which didn't work on the kitkat ROMs I tried, but does work on my JB ROM.
