1st of all, welldone eos team!! Will love to update this rom with my xoom hk version. but sadly most of the thread end up saying hong kong version should stay away...i think its maybe the partition issues stil the main problem, anyone here already test the rom with hong kong version?
Why are we being left out?
Hi all,
Been using the MZ601 3g/WiFi for a few months and still can't get to a point to root it. Last time I rooted it a lot of stuff does not work like the market and memory. I paid motorola to flash it back as they will not provide the SBF file. Also HK versions are not going to get the upgrade to ICS from motorola. Though they have put it into planning stage only which means no ICS for us. If anyone have proper information on how to root HK version 3g/WiFi MZ601 please please let us know.
TIA
Eric
I think you guys can just flash the EU version of the EOS rom...(HK version should be UMTS instead of CDMA).

Only if solarnz has added the special files to deal with the HK model's storage partition issues. I'm sure he'd help if possible.

Well there's a high possibility that the 3G xoom sold in hk is the eu version...
1. HK uses EU mobile frequencies
2. I've got my wingray in hong kong and still be able to flash the EOS rom...
So just check carefully whether or not you are having the EU xoom...
You can try flashing the EU version of the rom but I'll recommend that you'll do a backup first in recovery.
Hi aR_ChRiS,
Thanks for the reply. So how exactly can I backup my original firmware? I don't want to again pay Motorola to reflash again. I cannot find the exact procedures to backup. Please help.
TIA

install clockworkmod and, before rooting, go into the backup-menu and run a nandroid backup.
I am not sure which recovery you should use, as your partition table looks different from 'the usual'. The 'modded' CWM is modded in a way to exclude the /sdcard-folder (=/data/media) from wipes, backups, etc, so this is probably not the recovery you should go for. Also, if you change your partition table to match the european xooms, you will probably have to undo that before you can restore that backup.

Hi, Any luck for new ICS for our xoom? please do update me if you have successfully rooted and upgrade without problem.
me as well as other hk xoom owner couldnt bear to left behind....

Thanks a million bro!
Rom for hk xoom
Hi Nick,
Lucikly I didn't root as my motherboard had problems and they replaced it twice. Anyway unless I can find the sbf file for hk mz601 I dont think I can safely do it. As i don't want to pay for it to be reflashed each time. Also from reading around it is best for hk users not to root. Or at least wait for the warranty to run out. For me it is end of this year

Hello dev,
For those with Canadian version of 6210, can someone upload a rooted 6201XXLB2 rom? I I notice the 6210 version in the dev does not contain the XXLB2 rom.
Thanks.
Cheers everyone especially to the amazing dev
If anyone can help with this it would be really appreciated. Guess who upgraded to the ICS Rom, found out that my wifi was unworkable, and now had to load the "regular North American Retail Rom with the Peel app etc that I cant use

I don't think the XXLB2 is anywhere to be found around here. You might just have to stick with the XXLPL release until the XXLB2 is uploaded by someone or is released. I honestly don't know if its even released. I just looked for it and couldn't find it anywhere.
I'm in the same situation I search for the LB rom for P6210 but for LA3 just uninstall PEEL soft with titanium backup

Thank you very much anyway, The Canadian version P6210 has the XXLB2. which means it has been released. Will I have no problem with the XXLPL? I am satisfied with this rom but needs to change some few things. I am just being cautious if something happens.
I did a nandroid backup of the original unmodified LB2 in clockworkmod, before I started changing settings and installing apps.
You need to have garyd9's "CWM-based Recovery v5.x.x.x" installed in order to restore this nandroid backup:
garyd9's "CWM-based Recovery v5.x.x.x" post
I notice someone posted a newer version of CWM v6 - from what I understand, the newer CWM version is not compatible with the v5 backups.
If anyone finds this useful please reply and let me know. I also need recommendation on upload sites which are easy to use (ie. no registration etc.) and won't kill the upload quickly.
Slim_thumb,
Sorry, I was out for quite some time. Thank you for posting the link. It helped me a lot. I presummed that you have tried some ICS, what could be the best ICS replacement to our XXLB2 for the moment while waiting for our upgrade turn?

LB2 is the HC firmware specific to the GT7+ sold in Canada. It is not ICS. We have not received the OTA ICS update yet.
XXXLB2 firmware
If anyone has the XXLB2 firmware, could you please post it up. I would like to go back to stock for when ICS is released. Thank you in advance.

Oh wait, but I thought the current ICS firmwares don't work for the LB2 Canadian version because of the wifi?
Did you backup your current HC firmware before flashing or did you just risk it?

CromDubh,
I followed the other thread of SrumerJohn in Adnroid Development and installed that ICS firmware. I am not happy about the performance of that firmware.
I am glad you find the latest US firmware satisfactory. Did you use the temporary CWM method to root this US firmware, followed by installing permanent CWM?
I did try the original UK ICS firmware but unfortunately not very extensively..(no wifi being a bit of a deal breaker for me)....but I'm pretty happy with North American version.
As for rooting, I used the same rooting method as was used for the older ICS without a problem. I didnt install permanent CWM, just the the temp, but I'm sure I'll end up with the permanent one when its time to start playing with JB

The ICS version is slightly faster and more fluid than HC in terms of screen transition and opening apps, but my biggest problem is the Flash video performance. Interestingly, I had no wifi problem with the UK ICS version (this problem must be router-related).
I have problem with Flash video playing in the browser in both firmware versions. Not all video sites are affected equally - eg. Youtube 1080p does not play smoothly (used to play smoothly in original HC); Vimeo HD completely stutters (used to play smoothly in original HC).
Adobe apparently stopped supporting Flash and it disappears from Google Play store. I tried several older versions of Flash 11 (and even 10) posted as .apk (eg. at apktop), but none of them work smoothly (some of them even force close the browser) - and yes I did get the correct ICS version of Flash player.
I use Dolphin browser, and I tried the Flash video with the stock browser but the result is the same. Therefore it has nothing to do with the browser.
I have since gone back to my original HC through nandroid backup.
P.S. I followed StrumerJohn's guide to flash permanent CWM onto the US ICS version, and it works. However, at your own risk always.
Sorry if this has been asked before. n8010 and n8013 doesn't seem to have any hardware differences.
I have the n8013 model (the one sold on the US, bought it on Bestbuy), but it doesnt seem to get as many updates as the International model.
So here is my question: Can I flash n8010 firmware through Odin on n8013?

Hard to keep up with all of the 8000 series updates but I think it just looks like the 8010 & 8000 have more updates because they have so many different languages.
I don't know but does more updates mean that they have actual made a major advance over another?????? Maybe it just means that the programmer messed something up in that version and they are fixing it????? I don't know?????

I'm asking because n8000/10 might get 4.2.2 or even 4.3 first.
So it would be nice to flash it on n8013 too.
Everything does work normally except the status of the device is no longer normal but custom even using stock rom with no root.

Hi folks, I hope I am in the correct forum ?
Well i am a experienced Moto X user (rooted, boot-loader un blocked, etc.) and never bought a Tablet, but a friend brought me a new Note 10.1 to Argentine and i gladly bought it. So here are some questions.
1. I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 only Wifi, not the 2014 edition?
2. Second my OS is 4.12, is there any official KitKat 4.4.2 available? At least i do not get a OS update when i check.
3. If "no" to Nr. 2 any recommended Roms?
4. Rooting makes sense on a Tablet?
One more.
When trying to launch Google+ i get the message that the software of my device is not actualized. Google+ closes and send me to the configuration to check OTA, but there is no.
Thanks and be patient as i am new to Samsung and tablets.

1. Yes
2. Kitkat is available in a some of countries, you will get update soon. But I recommend you to install official rom via odin, not from kies or system update
4. Yes, if you want to customise UI or delete ads. I think you know what root is it.
Sorry for my English

I don't know about each device/country but generally yes there is an official update available. If your tablet doesn't update automatically, the KitKat stock Roms are even linked somewhere in the Note 10.1 forum. sammobile.com also has them. You will probably need to use Odin to flash.
3. If "no" to Nr. 2 any recommended Roms?

Sure. No difference to a phone. It's more about Samsung Note devices. Rooting makes about as much sense as anywhere else but custom roms only make limited sense since most roms can't include the s-pen stuff. BTW google KNOX if you like your warranty.

I don't know about 8013, but for 8000 is publishing now on over the world. I hope 8013 will have an update soon.
You can delete G+ and download it again. Maybe error will disappear. Stock apps is so stupid.
Thanks,
yes I saw the updates for N8000 all over the place. I hope also that N8013 will get those soon. I saw that some people flashed successful the 8000 UK update on an 8013. Maybe an alternative if 8013 won't get an update to 4.4.x. Any info regarding that?
Ok,so some more questions.
1. What is the recommended way to root the device with 4.1.2?
2. For flashing Roms Odin Pro for Android? I like flashing Roms from inside the device instead via PC, so I would buy Odin Pro.
3. TWRP Recovery is working fine with the device? I would love to use it as I also have it on my Moto X.
Ok, that's all for now, and thanks for helping.

Clarification on what you have and options
To clearify what you have.
you have the us version of the 2012 wifi tablet same as n8010. The 8010 roms with Boot-loader removed will Run on your device. Your play store issue can prob be solved by going into settings and location. fix to your location But i am unsure exactly. or do a Factory reset by going to
settings backup and restore. i think is where its at.
This Device Same as i have has been left behind by Samsung. it has not been upgraded above the version you have. Samsung WILL NOT UPGRADE IT OR they would have by now.
Two best options in my Opinion.
To upgrade and Stay totally stock You can use his Rom. Or Download the Rom for n8010 for your country from Sammobile and follow instructions on the like below to remove boot-loader.

Its a samsung touchwiz rom. So you only loose the Apps he removed from the rom. But you can put them back in the link on second post on his thread. I Been using the rom for over a month. I get a bit less battery life But still does Great for a tablet i have been using everyday for two years.
I MUST HAVE Fully working s-pen snote and i use Office suite 8. I use my tablet for onside Estimates and Billing. as well as Contracts . Get the Customers hooked before they have a chance to think twice.. Hehe . but seriously It works good for me.

If you read the "Index" thread, you could find this, which is what I think you want: Stock Lollipop 5.0.1
Of course, official (nightly) for cm12.1 just came out. Find that yourself.
