Hi how are u all,iwant to buy Motorola XOOM MZ601 but iread in gsm arena that it's not upgradable to JB 4.2 so i want your advise is this aproblem?if yes is there a solution
many thanks and wating your reply

Yes you're right, but if you want to try you can use team eos 4 custom rom... there are the nightlies version but it still full of bugs, and the thread isn't created yet maybe teameos still working on it. You can use the team eos 3 jelly bean 4.1 (stable)

Sorry I just give you wrong answer, but you can go to development thread.. in my country there's a forum that explain how to root and how if the device bricked, or another what are you asking. I'm from indonesia.

If you can buy a newer one then go for that... 4.2 you can run but getting 3G is not something we can promise. I myself have MZ601 and I am using a custom ROM that is meant for MZ604 and hence I do not have 3G.
There will be no further development for this, so you might as well look for newer tabs if you want latest build, else you can definitely buy one

few things
1 - xoom is 2 years old, and will no longer receive official updates. all updates from now on will be through custom roms brought to us by wonderful developers like Team EOS and Team Rogue.
2 - there is still good support, just check out this forum. lots of stickies on what you need to know. use the search function and you should find everything you need.
3 - yes. my current xoom mz601 is running 4.2.1 thanks to the developers mentioned above. since it is from the US and currently i am also in egypt, i have to 3g service, so i just flash the wifi only roms. Search the forums, there are plenty of guides on rooting and flashing custom roms.

The Motorola Xoom is bound to receive it's final update in Jellybean 4.1 or 4.2 beyond that it's doubtful that Motorola will update. Unless they are not releasing another table this year.

you can check here: https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c
US xooms will get 4.1 and thats it.

Yup. I read bout it yesterday. It seemed to slip under my radar. Guess it's time to unlock and root to get updates. That's the beauty of android. Always an alternative.

[Q] [XOOM 2] A question for ROM of XOOM2

As I have a XOOM 2 running Android 4.0.4, I'm searching for further update for this device.
I found that the EOS Team has released Android 4.1.2 nightly build for XOOM, but not the XOOM 2 version.
Actually I haven't seen any 4.1.2 build for XOOM 2. So I want to ask,
can I use XOOM rom on the XOOM 2? if Not, is there any stable room for XOOM 2 in the entire forum?
if there is, i hope that you will send me a link of the thread.
thx for your help!

No
I Dont know much about the xoom 2 but the bootloader was never unlocked therefore no custom roms thats why theres no dev support

I've recently received a Xoom 2 but it's running 3.2.2 , You've updated it or it was the original version came from the company?
another interesting matter is that I've not seen any motorola device managers that support Xoom 2!

Tablet is upgradeable directly from Motorola to version 4.0.4 (versions can be checked e.g. https://motorola-global-en-uk.custhelp.com/app/software-upgrade-news/g_id/1994). Some time ago in some language version there were not clearly stated, that 4.0.4 would be the last version for Xoom2, but now it seems that it is.
Device manager at least for US version: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_detail/a_id/78644/p/7901,8197

The Motorolla Defy has locked boot loader but can flash custom ROM's via 2nd init another device xt910 uses another form.
I think the device was just not owned as many due to XOOM.

[Q] simple question needing a simple answer.

When android rolls out with 4.3, will users with the galaxy tab 2 10.1 still be supported as far as development with custom ROMs goes? Without making anyone mad here I'm going to ask another way... Will I ever see android 4.3 on a tablet I purchased a little over a month ago? It is keeping me up all night searching for answers and I'm at my ropes end.
Thanks for reading.
P.s I should have sprung the extra hunskie for the note 2 huh?

The custom roms will always be there...if the hardware will allow it we'll get the update here...I've seen many older devices getting jelly bean although they were officialy left on gingerbread or even froyo

Yeah, even the boost zte warp now has a buggy jellybean,and Ly-f1 clones (cheap alwinner tabs) were getting jellybean ROMs very shortly after the source was released, so i agree the prospects look good.

i already have 4.2 based ROMs for my RazrM, and it's still on 4.1.2. If there's an update pushed for the Tab, it will be developed and released in custom ROMs. If the OTA isn't pushed to the Tab, I can almost guarantee there will still be aftermarket ROMs based off 4.3 or 5.0 or whatever comes out next. Truthfully, I don't know why you are losing sleep over this.

Sorry I can't answer your question, but I hope you can answer mine - what Xoom model do you have? I have the UK Xoom 2 ME MZ607 and can't find anything about running Jelly Bean, it's @ ICS 4.0.4.
Are you sure about yours running stock JB, and if so can you give me some more details?

hi dumpystig
Here is info on my Xoom 10.1 Early Model UK wifi
MZ604, Android Version reverted back to 4.0.4 from 4.2.2
Build Number 1.7.1-45
Kernel 2.6.39.4.00033
I had 4.2.2 running, and i put back to stock rom for sale
but that did not happen, so left at 4.0.4
I since purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" Wifi
Hope that clears anything..

Xoom 3g - to jellybean or not

I recently picked up a Xoom that had been rooted. I took it back to stock with the help of the information I found here. I have been prompted for multiple OTA updates. I just finished installing ice cream sandwich.
My question is, if I install the jellybean update (4.1.2), will I still be able to install a custom Rom like Kitakat at a later date?
Thanks in advance.

I have two older Xooms that have been updated to 4.1.2 They both run fine, and I'm planning to up them (one at a time if all goes well) to 4.4.4 soon On of my was an original Chinese Xoom and it had to been hacked to get it to update the first time. But the other updated automatically all the way to 4.1.2 . I plan to use OmniRom 4.4.4 from schischu's OmniRom 4.4.4 thread.
