Please help.
My first XOOM (Verizon 4G LTE) got sort of smashed in an accident.
I found a second Xoom to replace it with, activating it with no issue (3G).
The problem I am having is the 2nd Xoom has not had the 4G upgrade done on it.
So I took the 4G chip off of the motherboard on the "old" xoom and installed it on the new Xoom.
I then popped in the SIM card and "Activate"d it.
It is not seeing the 4G LTE. I am assuming there must need to be a firmware upgrade of some kind, but I have no idea where to find it or how to install it.
Does anybody have a clue on this?
Thank you.
But 3g works? Like ur 4g chip seemz to be doing fine?

Yes, the 3G has always worked fine. It's just that the firmware does not recognize the 4G chip, so ONLY 3G works.
I'm hoping I can download and install the firmware without having to root the device.
Even if u flash a 4g rom only 3g works? Did u try playing around with the frequency bands? Btw goood job with successfully replacing the chip !

He hasn't flashed a 4G enabled ROM because he doesn't want to root.

That is correct, although after talking to a Verizon tech tonight, I don't think I will have a choice.
Is there a solid ROM out there? From everything I've been reading, sacrifices are made with these ROMs like lack of WiFi.
you don't need to root to flash a 4G rom....
you only need the stock 4G rom.
here is a link to the Motorola page to get the rom and how to flash.

You may need to update the bootloader too.

If your talking about gsm in the united states I don't think there's a way to have 3g/4g working but if you want a world wide gsm phone just follow these instructions on any ROM

Hello
I newly bought this note 10,2..
The model number is 8020, version with wifi and 4g LTE (denmark)
Very nice tablet, and it matches my sg3 very goodt
But of course i'm out to find some custom roms.
will I have all the functions espacielly 4g if I install a rom made for the 8013?
and what are the differences?
Thank you
No. 8010 and 8013 are wifi only. If you use one of those roms ,you will loose 4g.

You can try to flash one but keep the 8020 modem and kernel if you know how... At your own risk of course.

No, that requires many more steps dealing with apn numbers.
There is a guide available on how to get it working on different carriers, but in theory as long as you have that carriers apn you should get voice and edge data.

Through changing my bootloader and modem could i effectively change my device to a device that can run f/i roms?
