Does anybody know if flashing 3.2 (or any wifi model rom) will work on a 3g model? I'm not interested in 3g working. I have no interest in giving Verizon any money. I just need Wifi and tethering to work.

Don't do it......its not compatible. You will wreck your xoom. Just wait a week or two and it would come out for vzw models.

Hi guys I need help or info about this Ive always wanted Motorola Xoom wifi only but I received Verizon one with 3g not upgraded to lte . I rooted it and installed ics for the wifi only system from Google or android website its stock ..
And works actually very well no 3g ..nothing about service I don't mind since I'm not with Verizon and not planning to go with them I just need wifi but my question is ...is it right I mean everything works good only the battery It seems like honeycomb stock verizon build battery stays longer is it because of wifi only ice version ..or something I'm not sure if somebody can help me with info
Hmmm ... me too. I have a Xoom tablet arriving this week, and it was listed as "MZ600 Xoom, LTE ready, Verizon". Which rom version should I install? I do not plan to activate it with Verizon, as I already have a dinc running CM7 nightly build 258, and waiting for ics. I would just like to run ics on the Xoom. If I don't activate the Xoom, which rom should I use, or CAN I use??
If both of you are not planning to activate with Verizon, using a Wifi only ICS ROM won't be a bad idea. I too have installed this to a friend of mine and he hasn't experienced any issues. You will not be missing out of any features because the only main difference is the 3g / LTE radio.
So anyone has seen the stock ICS for the xoom 3G version?
AFAIK wifi only is the only model to get an official update. Running the wingray build on cdma or lte is just fine.
I have an MZ601 3G Xoom that I purchased in Asia. I will be going to the US in a few weeks, and was wondering if someone could clear up a few things for me:
1. Is my Xoom eligible for the 4G upgrade?
2. If so, will I still be able to use my Xoom on 3G networks when I am in Asia and Europe?
3. How would I go about doing the upgrade in that it seems to be through Verizon and this Xoom has never been affiliated with Verizon?
4. Since I am running the EOS ICS version 1.0 ( fantastic ROM, by the way), I assume that I would need to change ROM versions after the upgrade?
I appreciate it if anyone could help clear up these questions so that I don't end up doing something that I will regret later on.
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys.
I'm from Germany.
I want to know which xoom is the best.
The most important thing is the support. (Updates)
Are there difference or is the support the same (xoom 1,2,media)

The Xoom 2 is an awful successor to the Xoom.
The Xoom Media is also not worth getting due to its lackluster support/development and the fact that it is not a GED.
If you are considering a Xoom, get the original Xoom.
And are there differece between the 3g and the wifi version

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there are basically 3 versions of the original Xoom:
MZ604 - wingray - wifi only
MZ600 - stingray - Verizon version
MZ601 and MZ603 - everest - gsm version
Now here is the tricky part. The stingray started out as a EVDO Verizon tablet, but then was upgradable to LTE by sending it in. If I understand correctly, all of the custom roms for stingray are for the LTE upgraded version. It is now TOO LATE to send them in for the upgrade. If you buy a stingray that wasn't upgraded, you are screwed. Personally I would stay away from the ones that weren't upgraded. Also keep in mind the everest seems to have a little less developer support than the wingray and stingray. You can't go wrong with the wingray.
Okay. Thx. Correct me when i'm wrong. The wingray Version is the wifi only .am i right?

Correct. That is the one I have.
I've got the so called european xoom (mz601), but what i think is that it's not european, it's international. Thats because it works in almost every country on earth (it is a standard gsm bands). For example it works on AT&T in america (i've not tested this, but google says that it does work).
I myself have used my Xoom in most of europe, in russia and middle east. It's just great. The only thing i don't like about the mz601 is the lack of development (it only has 2 custom roms: Team EOS and Codename Android). But the fact that you can travel the world and use a 3g connection almost everywhere is very nice. You cant do that with the verizon Xoom. The wingray is of course very good (it's a Google Experience Device) but i myself need the 3g.
Even if i lived in the states i still would not get the stingray version. I would rather get the umts_everest and have the option to use other service providers than verizon or wingray if i really did not need the 3g/4g connectivity.
I hope anyone from the states can confirm that the mz601 works in america?
i actually want a xoom with 3g.
Cause of Google drive.
Are there informations about a jelly bean Update for the 3g Version in the EU
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
Definitely xoom1
Support is perfect! Official motorola support in europe might be paintfull with long waiting for updates ec but once you root it and install custom rom you get support, updates, everything you need
3G owner on smooth eos-jb-
Good luck!
okay thx. So i will Buy xoom 1 3g.
Is rooting diffucult Or is there a easy one click Methode.

Its not really one click, but quite easy, if you are willing to read some threads. You might start with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26285977. I can also really recommend to use the JB ROM from TeamEOS. Really great work!
Alright so about a month or 2 ago now I had switched back to ICS for my NS4G because Jellybean broke tethering for us. I was using CM10 Nightlies all the way from when bursuara was making the unofficial nightlies to the actual Official CM10 4.2.2 Update came out and tether was not working at all. I would like to switch back to Jellybean but the only thing that is stopping me is Having the ability to tether a 4G connection. It is a must for me. I've been searching everywhere and i cant seem to find anyone saying they actually have 4g tethering working on 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 for the nexus s 4g
Ive been searching on and off for about 2 months now and all i remember seeing is someone saying that 4g Tethering started working in a certain build of CM10 4.1.2
As stated above all Im just looking for is a ROM preferably CM10 that has 4g Tethering working, Either through Native or VIA WIFI Tether.. Can anyone help me here because id love to switch back to Jellybean
