Sorry to post here but I don't have the rights atm to post in development. Anyway I tried to root my a700. Its a UK model. After failing I realised I have issues playing games. And can't find a gb from to restore my firmware. Can any one post an original I can flash please. .026.gb if not any ideas how I can get the boot loader re-locked without clockwork mod. Cost that involves using Dutch, french, or a us version on the firmware. Hope for a speedy repair lol cost I only got this yesterday. Thanks for any help or none

Hi everybody,
New to Xoom (but not to Android), so may be a n00b question
I bought a WiFi Xoom in US last week and it updated automaticaly via OTA to 3.1.
Problem, there is no support for French (France), only for French (Canadian) wich is slightly different (i.e keyboard is QWERTY and I would like AZERTY).
Is there a way to push "French" language support in my Xoom ? (Like CSC on Galaxy S). If not can I flash EURO Motorola Roms to my US Xoom ?
It's not rooted, not unlocked (not yet, still reading forum to see if it's safe )...
Thanks
Search for language pack, it's posted in apps section.
For information, I finally decided to flash stock Motorola Europe rom (after being stuck on Motorola logo when trying to root it).
So now I have a European 3.0.1 Xoom with all languages support instead of a US 3.1 (not really happy with that…).
If you want to get back to US 3.1 and install the language pack, follow this guide.

Remember, DO NOT RELOCK!
Thanks burden010 !
Hum... noob question, I've already relock it (with stock rom, I follow motorola dev instructions), was it a bad idea ?!?!
No it's OK, the "don't relock instruction" is to prevent a possible half-brick. If you're going to follow that guide, do not relock or it COULD cause problems, doesn't mean it will.
[Q] Can install cooked ROMs or any of the leaked (from India or China) on Atrix AT&T?
Hey guys, first of all I must say that is not English, I speak Spanish so if I say something wrong I hope to understand.
I turn to you for that, I buy a Refurbished Atrix 2 Released to Amazon, is AT & T My question is: I can install cooked ROMs or any of the leaked (from India or China)? I would like to tell me if I can do and if there is a tutorial to install.
Thank you for your attention!

you can't install the leaks.
There are multiple roms you can install in the development section.
read the noob guide that is sticky for some basic info, then the rom threads for installation instructions

You can install and run custom roms, but there's some things you need to read and understand beforehand. Please read THIS THREAD and you will see that there are several things you must first do, in order to be running custom roms on your device. First, you will need to make sure you are running on Android 2.3.6. for many of the roms in the ATRIX 2 Android Development section, then you will need to attain root, install the custom CWM (Clockworkmod) Recovery, then you will be able to flash whichever rom you so choose.
However, you need to understand that there are international firmware differences relating to the different ATRIX 2 models and their specific regional firmware(s), and roms that are based off these international firmwares may not work on your device! You need to know which device you have, and for which device the rom you are wanting to install is specified to run on. You may brick your phone if you try to install a rom that ins't designed to run on your device! (You have been warned) The leaked ICS updates will NOT work on an ATT.en.US system version!
Well, I do not think I will risk that many steps and I am a newbie.
But still thank you very much for clearing the doubt! Waiting For the ICS official.

It's really not all that difficult. You just have to have a clear understanding of what you are doing -BEFORE doing anything! It's useful knowledge, especially if you are interested in customizing your device beyond what Motorubbish has in its stock rom...
I like your clarity mate, at least you dont wanna mess with your device until you learn. Appreciate that
Sent from my MB865
And if I install the ROM and I want to return time after the original ROM from AT & T?
I can do?

Yes, after rooting, installing the custom recovery (CWM), and flashing a rom, you can always FXZ back to stock 2.3.5. and the OTA (over-the-air) update to 2.3.6. which will return your device to the fully stock Moto rom.
Hi guys.
I have retail ME865 device, recently bought, it came with 2.3.6 in stock. My previous device was Nexus S with JB, but my display died and I had to get myself cheap upgrade. But getting back to GB is pain I tellz ya!
So I wanna upgrade.
I've been reading stuff here a lot, and since I have no previous experience with rooting/flashing/updating (Nexus S had it all first ), I am a bit confused. What can I do, how, what are the dangers and so on.
For starters, I rooted my phone, installed CWM and Recovery, and installed Remus ROM. Just to try something out. It works great, but I miss ICS feel. Right now phone always boots to Recovery, and I have a stock backup.
What do I need to do to upgrade to ICS?
I am confused with all this stuff! Difference between MB865, ME865, and AT&T phones?
First topic that drew my attention is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683893 Is that update for my phone?
Or this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681147
If it is possible, It would be super mega awesome if someone can write me all the tiny steps so I don't **** something up. (Softbrick? Hardbrick? What is the difference?)
Thanks SO MUCH in advance.
Cheers.
Edit:
I actually believe I have Chinese edition, because I remember it had Chinese lang installed besides English (default), and default weather widget was in Chinese as well.

Flashed latest Mearet sbf with Rsd lite on ME865 HKTW
From sdcard Mearet ICS OTA upgraded rom to 4.0.4.
It works fine.
Just got my a700 today and enjoy immediately got a notification that the JB update was available. What I would like to know from some of the more knowledgeable members (and almost everyone is more knowledgeable than me) is should I go ahead and install the Acer JB update or should I root, unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom? I. have read that because Acer has not released a certain type of code, that with the stock JB update I will not be able. to root or unlock the bootloader.

I have flashed my a700 to Pawitp's latest CM10 Nightly build. the screen reaction is better than the stock one. And all the stock apps are removed. Nice!! But once my a700 suddenly rebooted, maybe the conflict of apps. All in all i will suggest flashing to the CM10. Sorry for my poor English.
Stock JB ROOT or CM10 ??
Hi,

Can I now flash CM10? How? (back to ICS?)
Sorry for asking too many questions and my poor english
Thanks

Hey,
Your CWM doesn't work, as it's for the ICS Bootloader. They (Germans) have a CWM for JB, but.... due to issues in the past with some early CWM's, a lot are a little afraid to use it. I haven't seen a lot of problems on the German site, so maybe it is ok. I have it installed on my 701, but haven't had the need to use it yet.
As with root, wait another day or so, and my Mate Civato will finish the modded boot.img for the JB 700, so you guys won't have to do a mess of things.
Will be a simple root.

hi guys,
i just bought a xoom in the uk as an impulse buy. usually i do a lot of reading on things like this so i dont usually need help when it comes to rooting, unlocking bootloader etc.
This has probably been asked but i tried searching and i just got more confused. I would like to know if the uk xoom (wifi only) can be rooted and if i can unlock the bootloader. i would like to install a jellybean rom if that is possible but i couldnt really find i guide on this particular version.
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Yes and Yes is the simple answer......
Best thing is to have a search on here and maybe Google and you should find some guides on how to do it.... The guide I followed (but don't remember where I found it) wasn't specifically written for a UK Xoom, but worked absolutely fine.....
The UK Xoom can be easily unlocked via ADB when connected to your PC.....
Unlocking the Bootloader will completely wipe the device though so ensure you have copied anything you want from the Xoom first....
Plenty of ROM choices - I am currently using EOS 3 (Nightly 155) which is Jellybean 4.1.2 but will jump over to EOS 4 on Jellybean 4.2 in due course....
