Hello, I own a Motorola Xoom 2 (France Wifi only with 16 GB) which it is rooted as well. I'm afraid if I can't upgrade to ICS since I removed some stock apps (I know this was stupid). Is that true if I removed some stock apps I can't upgrade to ICS anymore?
If so, how can I restore all stock apps? I already did a hard reset and I thought it will be restored (another mistake I know).
I need ICS so badly, for some reason I can't update the Gmail app anymore on Honeycomb (not compatible) - but that's another problem.
There is still no ICS available.
Here are my tablet info:
System version: 0.268.4.MZ615.Retail.en.FR
Model number: Xoom 2
Android version: 3.2.2
Build number: 1.6.0_268.4-MZ615

You will have to find the missing apps that will match your specific xoom by running logs and comparing hash tags... If you dont really know how that works or what to do then your pretty stuck... In the future never delete stock apps. Just use an app to freeze them.

Holy ****. Can anyone (with the same device I guess) send me the apk files to reinstall the apps? Is there no image file to recovery the device? I know XOOM 2 is locked, it might not work then? The last option is to wait for an option to unlock the device...

Post up the details of your xoom im not sure if its the build number or config version you need to match the apps to. When you get them put them back in system/app you will most likely need to reinstall them aswell. Once your done you should be able to update.
No need to worry about flashing although it would be easier if the bootloader was unlocked but beggars cant be choosers.

I posted already the details.

Post them up in a new thread and the update thread stating what you need with your details provided...

Anyone else getting this. I am unable to stream or download movies. Unrooted 3g Xoom.
Happens on rooted devices, because of root. But no one has said anything about non rooted. Are you unlocked? Have you tried a reboot?

No I am unlocked...but there is no way for me to OEM lock as I got screwed from the one click lock unlock thread. So no movies for me till netflix

That's the reason I don't trust one clicks. Id rather screw it up my self and not be pissed at anyone else :\

You can still lock your device you just need to download the img files from Motorola. Its a pretty easy process.

what nubsors said, I was originally rooted the old way i.e. manual way, then unrooted went to stock for 3.0.1 update, then got bored and rooted using the 1 click method, and manually installed the 3.1 update. Couldn't get Google Videos to work so I reflashed all of the 3.0.1 img files, oem locked it and got the OTA, and it works like a charm
I keep getting an error message saying failure trying to update newer version. Need help or a different like to the full Ruu. Thank you in advance

More info please. What did you do?
What makes you believe that the update is for GB v2.3? Is this an OTA update from Verizon?
Sorry my question wasn't worded good. So here it goes LOL, I downloaded one of the leaks of Gb for the TB and I placed the file on my SD card and renamed it and shut the phone off held power and volume. Then I went through the steps and it started updating itself the when it finished it said error failure to update software to new. Once again thank you for responding to this I really appreciate all and any help.

Rooted or unrooted currently? I assume unrooted?

If you downloaded the RUU_Mecha_GINGERBREAD_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.10.605.1_Radio_0.01.78.0802w_3_NV_8K_1.41_9K_1.64_release_209273_signed.exe
Do not place on the SD card, is a Windows application to update your TB via Data cable.
Takes about 10-15 mins.
This is exactly as I did and worked without any problems.
On a further note...
A couple of days ago I rooted using the Revolutionary tool and flashed Clockwork recovery using ROM Manager then created a backup. Now I no longer have problems with constant ads, no verizon bloatware, and a full backup img of my rooted Gingerbread TB.
Unrooted can't don't know much about rooting with the method used. Actually I'm kinda scared, now I did root my Eris and my Incredible and LG Ally. But don't glum have to know adb.

There should be an unrooted zip file that you could flash via hboot floating around here some where or might look on Rootzwiki site as well.
I would also check the md5 of the files to make sure they match the numbers posted by the OP before I attempted to flash it

You guys were awesome thanks again. Nice to know when someone gets stuck there are people willing to help. And think I'm going to attempt rooting my TB. I know if I get stuck ill be ok.

If you had backed up with Titanium Backup, just restore missing apps and data.
I didn't though. Any way to get the old market?

Which version are you looking for? StrifeSoldierIIV has offered to pull free apks for anyone who needs them and I might still have an older market apk in my dl folder.
Which ever version was the old style tablet market view before it changed to the look of the phone.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
someone on another forum had a similar issue... did a factory reset and restarted, then re-activated the google account and everything loaded correctly except a couple free apps... those they were able to reload via the web-market
good luck, and report back - I'm awaiting my xoom (hopefully tomorrow, but likely Mon/Tue) so interested in what works and what doesn't.
Done it already, no luck. Wife has the same apps not downloading.

Can you post an image/dump/nandroid of the system and boot from HLK75C?
I'm running HLK42B from the pilot 4G launch and would like to upgrade to this new version they are sending out now.
How do I do a system dump? I am not rooted, but intend to re-root as soon as I get the right files.

Yes that's correct.
Ok. So I don't have to down grade it to root it later? I read some of the tread that you have to be on a certain ice update not sure its true or not

What version of HC are you on? You don't need to upgrade to ICS and then downgrade back to HC to root. You can root HC and use OTA Rootkeeper to carry Root all the way through ti latest version of ICS.
3.2.1 . Build number 8.6.5.2.1 20111216
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
That looks like a slider model?
Since you are on the last HC incremental build, you should be able to use ViperMod. It is in the Development section. Download that to your PC and run it according to the OP. IIRC, you have to use Option 1 for the TF-Honeycomb build. Once you have root, then go to the market and get OTA Rootkeeper. Install that and make sure it saves Root. Then install a Root app like Titanium and make sure it works. Then use OTA Rkpr to Temp Unroot and take the OTAs. Then finally once you are up-to-date with the latest ICS build (.27 is the last number of it), go back into OTA Rkpr and restore root.
One thing that I have found it that the latest version of OTA Rootkeeper will not save a backup of SU in /system/xbin (this caused me a problem with an app yesterday). What you want to do is get a file explorer like Root Explorer and copy the su from /system/bin and paste it in /system/xbin and you should be good to go.
And one final thing, if you have a custom recovery like Rogue or TWRP, the OTA will not succeed, nor will it if you delete any apps from /system/app. For thatI used Titanium Backup Pro and just Forze the bloat. When a new build comes out, I just defrost and take it, the re-freeze.
What is the slider model? Sorry for noob question

That is why I asked you what build you are on. Razerclaw (.13) only works on earlier builds of HC, whereas ViperMod works on the later versions (.19+).
Could always try Razerclaw. At worst it will let you install it and then once you run it, it should throw an error. I used ViperMod when I got mine b/c I stupidly updated before I knew about Razerclaw (this was before ICS came out). ViperMod is really eay. Just install it on your PC, install the drivers and run it. Takes less than 5 mins to do.
I googled that build number you provided and it came up as a slider version, so that is why I asked.
Edit: OK I just looked around a bit more and your build number isn't 8.6.5.2.1 but rather 8.6.5.21. So you are on build .21. Then you need to use ViperMod and use the directions I post in the other post and this one and you shoudl be good to go.
I had the prime before but sold it do to wifi issued. I rooted the prime before using viper. Is it the same process
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Yes. Only for this one it is Option 1.
If you somehow lose Root when you get to the first ICS build (.11 I think it was), you can still use ViperMod but you'll have to use Option 3 then.
Good luck and let us know.

Could I down load the viper mod from transformer prime tread?

They are one in the same. If you used it before then you should be familiar. Exact same program.
What do I do if the computer doesn't recognize the tf.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Means you probably don't have the drivers installed or still have the ones from your Prime days.
I still have the prime driver on the laptop. Do I need to remove it

My dad's Droid 2 has the contacts app completely broken. He is rooted, and we've uninstalled recently a lot of "authenticators" (Facebook Authenticator for example). Could that have anything to do with it? Anytime the app is utilized at all, it crashes immediately. Whether from the contacts app itself or from dialer, the app just freezes. Is there a way for me to download someone else's contacts app so I can replace it, out just fix it?
Thanks

Many motorola apps are interdependent, remove one brake another.
Which system version 4.5.629?
I could upload a copy of contacts, but I don't have any idea any idea which apps you need.
Don't delete stock apps rename or freeze with titanium backup
I suggest reflashing firmware, I will post link to files if you post current system version.

He has a Droid 2 global system version 4.5.629.A956 Android version 2.3.4. Is that everything you needed to know? He's thinking of just reflashing everything but I'd like to get things working.
