[Q] Do I have the right version of the Play store?

Hello,
I am beginning to wonder if I have the right version of the Play store on my Xoom.
I am thinking I have an older version/mobile version because the font is very large, in fact, it's an eyesore.
Here is a photo of the Play store once I open it:
http://i.imgur.com/UFRXs.jpg
And here is when I search for an app:
http://i.imgur.com/3pMBc.jpg
Looking at that photo, it doesn't look too big, but when you hold the tablet in front of you, it looks massive!
http://i.imgur.com/MwoK9.jpg
This is still quite large, but much better looking.
Also, another question, shouldn't the beta Chrome browser not be there? I don't see it.
I did a factory reset a few days ago, and when I opened play (if I recall correctly) it said it was updating to a new version, but said there was an error.
(I have not rooted my Xoom (yet ) so I cannot take screenshots)
So, is this the right version, and if not, how can I update?
Thanks! :good:

The latest version of it is 3.5.19

Ok, thanks. I'll root it later today maybe, now that I got the SD card out.
I should be able to get an ICS ROM then, right?
EDIT: Wait, I just remembered something.. Mine is the international (if that's what you call it) version, as it has no Verizon branding on it, and I have no contract either. Will I get an OTA ICS update? When did it come out for the rest of you?

Yeah, head over to the android development section and there are a variety of different ICS roms, try some and see which one suits you best

If you want root try LordAIOTool, it's an easy method to root Linux version is the most updated one. Good luck

Yes. Chrome is for ics. To get it, you need to be rooted. With market enabler, select the american t mobile market and search for it. It is there as beta version.
To root, which xoom type is it? Mz60x?
For the best rom ever released for xooms, it is from team eos.

[Q] How to root Asus tf300t Worldwide version

Hi,
I was wondering how to root my Asus tf300t WW (build number JRO03C.WW_epad-10.4.2.13-20120907), Android 4.1.1? All those that I found was on with US type firmware.

I am in the same dilemma, I am using the TW build.
But I decided to unlocked the bootloader first. The APK for ICS works fine for JB.

Ya... Is essentially the same steps as I found. I have manage to unlock. Will try to flash recovery and root later. Wish me luck... :fingers-crossed:
What I have understood so far, the steps are affecting the recovery and install su into the /system partition (no wipe). It does not affect the kernel nor Android itself. So, technically, it should be generic for all build.

Stock ROM

After a long battle (don't ask) I got CM running. Along with the other stupid mistakes I made I didn't make a nandroid of the stock ROM. If I need to revert to stock, where do I find it? Googling got lots of hits but they all pointed to international versions (p5110 - I have the p5113)

My point exactly! LOL I have a GT-P5113 and I know it was identified that way even though it now says it's a 5110 in the "about" section. If I install a 5110 ROM even if it's stock it won't be back to the way it was.

Well I didn't think it was since the regions are all international but if it says GT-P5113 it is ok? I don't need warranty now but I want to be sure I can revert if I need to. Thanks!
Edit: I've tried multiple times to download this (hotfile). It gets about halfway and fails. Is there another source and which region do I select for us?
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app-developers app

Both sites have links to Cellular South which is USA. What are you looking at? Where did you get your tab? Hotfile links are as good as they get. Are you using phone or pc to download? Downloaded well over 100 ROMs from hotfile and never had an issue yet.

Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app-developers app

Well don't let that Tab fall asleep either. Not sure what the region code is with the one from Amazon. It could be Cellular South, from Singapore, or that XAC region which is listed as N/A. Maybe by N/A Samsung is calling it unbranded. Do you remember anything dealing with branding on yours? Any info on the box?

I think I still have the box. I'll look for it tomorrow. In the meantime I did get a completed download from hotfile but it must have been corrupted. It failed the install. I'll see if I can get it on the pc tomorrow.
I installed zapblaster to try it out (made a full nandroid of my cm installation!) Wish I knew enough to help with development lol. Certain features I love in this one and others in cm10.1 that I'd combine if I was a developer.
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda app-developers app

here i started this thread not too far back http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342136... i think its exactly what you are looking for in regards to the p5113 and stock firmware
also in regards to the zap blaster rom, i think its terrible... nothing beats the UI in 4.2.2 .... if the IR capabilities is what you are after go here and try this rom http://d-h.st/OTW its cyanogenmod 10.1 .... its not official but does have a working IR blaster. just a few minor bugs you can fix on your own.
anyways hope this helps

Did you install that hotfile with odin? First you uncompress the zip to find a md5 file inside. You install that md5 file with odin.

Yes wI tried. There is something wrong with it. I'll try another download(s) today. Maybe I'll make myself just let the whole thing until/unless I actually need warranty service. It's just frustrating!

Kango Root
Works on Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and on Window 8.1 64 RTM. My S4 was previously rooted using the method for MF3.

So I did this. Gave me root. Awesome. I then put Safestrap on my phone. I made a Rom-slot. Can I then install the MDL odin file after activating the Rom-slot?

I suggest you take as much time as needed to read all of the "pinned" threads in the General and Q & A sections. Then, if you can't get your phone to boot, or if your stock recovery doesn't work, take the phone to a Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience booth and try to get them to re-flash stock MF3 for you. If you read the threads and get Best Buy / Samsung to re-flash it for you, you should be OK. If you decide to not do the reading, I suggest you don't do anything to the phone except use it as AT&T intends you to use it. Good luck.

I see. Still, I heard there are problems concerning the new FW about the tablet being unrooted if you flash KK on it and the samsung logo not appearing in the booting screen. Is there any way for the root to stay? I already know that there are a few bug issues in the software like the fast battery drain and I can handle that but the root though...I don't really want my device being bricked or whatever. I'm still a newbie about this so I wanted to find more information if possible before doing anything first.

I know it's official and everthing but that's not what I'm worried about. My tablet's already rooted with a custom rom and a blackhawk kernel in it. I read from the other posts that you'd be stuck in the booting screen if you flash the KK due to the logo missing and that you'll lose the root and will never be rooted again due to KK leaving a signature on the build or something. I'm not exactly sure what steps to take to prevent it though and I wanted to flash KK so bad. I just want to know if anyone knows how to flash KK in my already rooted tablet without encountering those two issues I just stated above.
Anyone?

You can always get root access again either by pre-rooting the firmware or by a custom recovery image in several different ways.

I don't think I can do the pre-rooting one. My computer doesn't run in Linux and I'm currently out of the country (and probably will be for months) to do anything about it.
Can you please tell me how to do it using custom recovery? You mentioned that there are different ways to do it?
