MZ601 Xoom on 3.1HC wifi + 3G rooted using Universal Xoom Root. Now wish to be able to use USB Host mode. Have followed the instructions in [ROM] Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.2.1 - Moray [18/9/11] including performing a factory reset (Wipe data/factory reset) from within recovery, and then selected "Install zip from sdcard" and selected the Tiamat zip file. The system reports that it is opening the file but then immediately aborts with the above message.
Assuming that the download was not successful I then downloaded again, went through the whole procedure again but came up with the same error. Hmmm this is a bit of a mystery.
So, is 2.2.0 a prerequisite of 2.2.1 and should I have tried to flash that first? Or could there be something else that this old fart is missing? I guess it must be the latter judging by all the success stories on here. Can somebody please help?

So, just to clarify, you are rooted and attempting ti install the Moray Rom, and your Xoom is giving you an error that it can't access the sdcard to flash the Moray file.
My first question is, what version of CWM recovery are you using and is your Moray file on your external micro sdcard which is inserted in your Xoom?
It sounds like you are trying to flash from the Xoom's internal "sdcard" which doesn't work (unless you have the Rogue recovery installed).
Thanks for your reply.
Regarding the recovery mode version, in recovery mode my Xoom tells me "Clockwork Recovery V3.2.0.0 (solarnz-R4c-100611-1150).
Using "My Files", I have confirmed that the Zip file doesn't exist on the "Internal" storage, but does exist on the external SD card. This is where the Universal Xoom Root zip file sits and where it was installed from. The root zip file installed smoothly, and as far as I know I followed the exact same steps in trying to install the new rom. So I remain confused.
Once again thanks for your reply and any further help will be appreciated.

Ok, Sounds like you should be set regarding recovery. I'm pretty sure that you should be able to go right to Moray 2.2.1.
First, confirm that your sdcard is good and working properly by inserting it into a phone or a card reader. It could be as simple as a bad card. Also, you could redownload the file, but I think it's most likely your sdcard.
Thanks for getting back to me.
I replaced the SD card with another from my mp3 player and checked it out by loading up a song and playing it. No problems. So then I moved the zip file for the rom (which I had previously re-downloaded) over to the root of the sd card from my PC and proceeded through the steps again. Failed again. The message sequence reads:
--Installing: /sdcard/Tiamat-Xoom-rom-2.2.1-Moray.zip
Finding update package... (So its gone looking)
Opening update package... (And it is found?)
E:Can't open /sdcard/Tiamat-Xoom-Rom-2.2.1.Moray.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Hmmm. Just to check that the sd card is still viable, after reboot went back to "files", sdcard, music and selected a song and it played as normal. Also checked that the Tiamat rom zip file is on the card and yep, it is. So tomorrow morning I will download the zip file once again and retry. If you can think of anything else it will be much appreciated.
Irobbie.
If you can check to make sure the downloaded file is the right size that will be great. also make sure that you don't add another.zip file extension on the end, somehow. Some pcs are set up to hide file extensions and that's been a problem a few have encountered.
The mystery deepens! Well, for me at least.
Re: zip file extra extension, have show extensions switched on, and there is no extra extension.
So on to file size, it looks the same to me on each download so I went a bit further. I noticed the link to the file has a MD5sum check noted. So I downloaded an open source file "Sigma Informatics Checksum calculator", pointed it to the rom zip file and ran the check, and then cut and pasted the original number from the thread and got the calculator to do a check. Bingo - exactly the same!
So then copied the file from the Xoom back to the PC, ran the same checks and got different answer!
OK, I deleted the rom zip file from the Xoom, copied another over from the PC, then recopied it back to the PC to a different location, ran the check sum, got the correct answer, so now I knew I had a correct file on the Xoom.
Next, reran the installation of the Rom - failed again with the same results and messages as before.
Then copied the Rom zip file back to the PC to another location, ran the checksum and different answer popped out again. Well, could it be that the zip file is being corrupted during the install and that is why it fails? I've never heard of that sort of thing happening before but I suppose it is possible.
Your continued support is much appreciated.
It seems like I have heard of this happening, but why? What would cause that? Can you use a different method to copy the Rom file to the sd card? Using an adapter, and inserting the card directly into the sd slot of the pc? Download right onto the card?
Thanks for the reply and suggestions again.
To make absolutely sure I eliminated everything possible; I went out and bought a new micro sd card, and card reader with a micro sd card slot. Plugged it altogether into the pc and copied over a copy of the rom zip file.
Then did a checksum check on the file on the sd card and it was fine.
So, holding breath, puff, puff, puff, started the procedure all over again.
SUCCESS! It all went as smooth as silk! Thanks for your help and suggestions. But now I am left with a concern about where the problem really was - was it in the copying of the file onto the card through the Xoom, or was it, in fact, a bad card? I don't want to discard the card because it seems to be o.k. in every other respect so I think a little play around is in order. I think in all probability you are right in questioning the process I was using before, and recommending that the file be copied directly to the sd card.
But in the meantime I'm off to explore the new rom and in particular USB hosting.
Yes! I love success!
Enjoy.
Hi, I had my phone unlocked and rooted with GT_19100_XXK14_original and CF-Root_SGS2_XX_XEO_K14-V... All was working correctly but I decided to try installing ICS ROM Batista70 FoxHound Edition 0.3. The install seemed to go smoothly but upon reboot phone was frozen in boot screen.The freezing happened at each reboot, so I tried flashing back to the earlier ROM, knowing I had CMW and zip files on the SD card. CMW would give me the option to install from SD but did not find any zip files! I can put the SD in a card reader and see the zip files with windows explorer. I got into download mode and tried to flash XXK14_original with Odin but this failed. I am now left with a phone which will go into download mode but no longer has CF-Root - the recovery is now the standard blue version of Samsung and indeed this does not see zip files either! Could it be the zips are corrupt? Is it any use to try re downloading a zip file direct to the SD card? There doesn't appear to be any ROM installed as start-up doesn't proceed beyond the "S" logo.
How should I proceed? I have explored this site for clues and cannot find anything relevant. Now desperate please help!
ok, so my TF101 is rooted and i had Android revolution 3.4.2 installed, i wanted to update to the newer Android revolution 3.5.0, i downloaded both the rom file and super-wipe full and placed them on my memory card. I then ran super wipe and started flashing my new rom, however when i did it said cannot open (bad). Now i cant get any further than the splash screen because i have no rom. I CAN boot to CWM 5.8.3.4 however it will no allow me to either
1.) mount my sd card to get a new rom installed, or
2.) when i put my TF101 memory card in my phone and then put the rom on it, the changes are not there after i put the card back in my TF101. It seems to have the same information for the files on my card as when i originally messed up.
Ive tried rebooting to recovery multiple times, i have even tried a different memory card, however CWM always shows me the same list of files.
Im really at a loss here and i would love some help. someone please give me some advice on what to do here.
fixed
Mods can feel free to close this, after much trial and error i finally for adb working and managed to push a new rom image and recovery to my memory card. I am now up and running
Hi everyone,
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3100) and I have rooted it and installed CWM so I could install the latest CM release. But when I try to install the CM zip file, it says "some symlinks failed". Now my tablet won't boot, the splash screen with "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2" keeps on forever. But I still have access to CWM and the Download mode so I think everything's not lost yet
Here are the exact steps I did:
- Uploaded the CM image (cm-10-20121213-NIGHTLY-p3100.zip), the gapps zip and the root zip to the tablet.
- Installed heimdall on my computer, with the correct drivers.
- Flashed CWM on the tablet.
- Installed the root zip on the tablet using CWM.
- Booted the tablet again just to make sure rooting was enabled (yes, it was).
- Opened CWM again, wiped data, wiped cache.
- Installed CM image:
--- Error: some symlinks failed (status 7)
- Installed the gapps zip file (worked)
- Formatted /system
- Installed CM image:
--- Same error: some symlinks failed (status 7)
I wanted to try another CM images, maybe that one is broken, I don't know, but now I cannot upload more files to the tabled internal SD card. I can't mount it anymore on my computer because the tablet won't boot. I tried using an external SD card (from another Android phone I have) but CWM says "Cannot mount /external_sd" when I try to mount it.
Can anyone help me? I want to flash the latest CM on my tablet.
Thanks!
This seems to me like either a broken recovery or maybe a corrupt download. What version of CM are you trying to flash? Also, what version of CWM are you using and where did you find it?
Posted from my Fascinate using XDA Premium
Yeah, I also think the download was corrupt. I tried flashing cm-10-20121213-NIGHTLY-p3100.zip (the latest one on the day I flashed) and my CWM version is 6.0.1.1. I downloaded it from ClockworkMod official website, they say that is the latest version for my tablet model.
I believe CWM is working and that the image is corrupt, but I can't find a way to flash another CM image because I don't know how to put another file inside the tablet, or how to flash an image from my computer to the tablet. Can I use something like heimdall to flash a CM to my tablet? Can I upload an image to the tablet so I can use CWM to install it? "adb push" doesn't work, it doesn't detect my device in CWM mode. Do I need some working/stock Android image on the tablet so I can flash CM over? Or it will work no matter what's installed (given that the download is not corrupt)?
Thanks!

Please tell me you made a backup after rooting and before modding?
If you didn't (which it sounds like), BAD CRISTIAN!!! But this will make you learn to do it from now on, huh?
Which leaves you only two options, both include using a computer to get a ROM zip to the tab...
1- connect tab to computer in recovery with usb cable and download a new copy to SD card via computer.
2 - remove SD card from tab, place in computer card reader, and download a new copy to SD card via computer.

How exactly do I download a new copy of the image to the SD card? When I plug the tablet to the computer, I can't access its files. It used to show me the files when the Android system booted, but on Recovery mode it won't display them, the filesystem isn't mounted. Should I do anything special? Should I use another CWM version?

I tried that, but it seems I cannot mount the external SD card using CWM. When I hit "Mount external SD Card", it says "Cannot mount /external_sd". The SD card works fine though, I use it on another phone and on my computer... Is this a CWM problem? =/

Pull the ext sd card out of the tab and put it into a card reader on a computer using the adapter the micro sd card [should have] come with.

Possibly... However if you can mount your internal sd card, you should be able to place the zip on there. I don't usually suggest using internal, but if that's what you gotta do....
I found out why I couldn't mount my external SD card with CWM: I had to format it with FAT32! I don't know what filesystem there was before, the SD card I have was used by an old Éclair phone. I still couldn't install others CM 10 images (I really don't know why), but I managed to install CM 9 and the brand new CM 10.1.
Thanks, guys! =)

Awsome. Thank you for providing your solution!!
(Now, I know this is not in the right section or even in the device's page, but...)
Forewarning: I am NOT responsible for any damages caused by running this tool. (You ran it, not me.) Also, do NOT use on the Thrive 7 or ANY of the Excites! The Thrive 7 has an entirely different bootloader/partition layout than the 10.
Pio_masaki and I have been working hard for almost a year to get root on the ICS version of the Toshiba Thrive 10.
Last night, I was able to finally sneak past sealime.ko and have it work.
It uses the "root any ICS device" tool, with special modifications specifically for the Thrive 10.
(can't post any links, so it's on the "thrive-hackers" github page.)
Special note: While it is set up for OSX ADB, I have not been able to find any binaries.
Are you saying that we are close to a root method for Thrives running Toshiba ICS?

Saying there is a method to root it now, yes, we got around sealime.ko. This means we can flash the HC bootloader which is unlocked, which allows custom recovery and kernels/ramdisks (boot.img) to be used.
BTW the link is https://github.com/Thrive-Hackers
congrats guys ! very awesome work !
jdsingles deodexed ROM w/ agat63's 1.3 kernel Suped up w/ CB 6.26.13
More specifically, it bypasses sealime to flash the unlocked bootloader. What we did was we MVd /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 to 0p9. It's a pure fluke Pio and I found out that it works. We found out that sealime was explicitly blocking write to 0p6, so he semi-sarcastically said to move it. I ran the mv command, whadda ya know? It worked!
'Course, getting the tool completed wasn't as simple as that...
PS: Could we get this moved to the Toshiba Thrive Development section?
Have instructions been written for the process?
worked for me
I used this tool on Jul 8 and it worked very well. I got it from thriveforums dot org. Thank you pio_masaki and AmEv.
I tried changing the recovery to the latest TWRP using "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.4.1.0.img" while in bootloader. I was not able to, though as it kept giving me errors.
Does this bootloader not allow flashing a recovery? I noticed the rootme script uses adb commands to push the CWM recovery.
I am now running Dale's latest deodexed rooted ICS rom with the CWM recovery he included.
Other unrelated lessons learned:
If you can't mount your SD card in recovery, try a different card!
And, Dale packages his update.zip inside the downloaded zip file!

I installed the drivers, used the root tool, the restore was successful, but now the tablet is stuck in a boot-loop mode.
The root tool was running, there was a line that said the screen would go blank, which it did, and it stayed there for several hours. When I came back to check on it, the tablet was off, so I turned it on. That's when I found the boot loop. It'll get to the home page, tell me that nova launcher has stopped, then loop back to the moving stars section of the boot screen.
Any ideas on what to do now?
DLeach4512,
if CWM is still alive, so just flash any ROM via CWM (flashing wipes all your data that exist in internal memory, so you need to make backup via CWM if you wish to save your data; and after flashing ROM you can import all data via Titanium Backup)

You know, I feel kinda dumb because I didn't even try that!
Now i've tried it, and I see I can get into CWM.
I put a ROM on an SD card on my PC, then put that SD card into the Thrive and used CWM to install the .zip of the ROM I selected, and it won't install. It starts, then it says Installation aborted, but won't tell me why.
Any ideas where I should start unraveling this mystery?
1. check that your recovery is CWM and not stock recovery
2. check that you put on SD archive that contain folders named system and META-INF, file like boot.img, something other maybe (many ROMs archive contain "archive in archive", so you need to unpack archive from main archive and than put that internal archive on SD); after checking that all right try to flash that archive again
3. try another sdcard (full sized SDHC + formated in FAT32)

Excellent!
1) I had to extract "update.zip" from the ROM I had downloaded.
2) I re-formatted the card I was using to FAT32 instead of FAT.
3) I was able to get the install started with no trouble after following your directions.
BIG THANK YOU FOR THAT!
I got a successful install message, and then it booted!
Thanks a million!
Problems after Mount Changes
I changed the mount as described on thriveforums.org to allow apks and data to go to the external sd rather than "shared" internal memory.
I now have the situation with less free memory available on the sd card than on internal. The CWM backups went on the physical card- a 32 G one almost full. Will look for a major mfr 64 Gig.
One or so issues with the revised mounts where the external sd card is now internal. They relate to making backups with dalepl's latest CWM 6.0.1: where to put CWM backups for now and are they being made correctly with the revised mounts?
The backup made prior to the mount change looks normal: a single, dated/numbered folder about 2.6 Gb, 6 files: boot.img, cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar, nandroid.md5, recovery.img and system.ext4.tar. However, the one made after the mount change also has a dated, numbered folder of only 15.8 Mb and 7 files: .android_secure.vfat.dup, boot.img, cache.ext4.dup, data.ext4.dup, nandroid.md5, recovery.img and system.ext4.dup. There is a second folder associated with the later bu called "blobs", which is huge --2.76 Gb, 3292 folders and 6581 files. Is this an expected result and any one think it might be a valid bu?
Also, it went on to the external SD (now "internal") and total storage use is now almost 28 Gb out of 30.2. I now have the situation with less free memory available on the sd card than on internal. The stuff there looks ok, pix movies and music plus CWM bups of 5.5 G and App_Backup_Restore archived apks at 2.8 Gb. So, I copied the cwm backups folder to the real internal memory, now sdcard2. I assume this true internal memory might get wiped during a restore so, this is not a valid storage site for this? And, if I put copies on a spare card, will that really work if my downloaded apps are on the original card, eg does the CWM backup copy the external card apps?
As I note, for some reason this 'blobs' folder won't copy easily to a USB via the Thrive or Win 7 pc. It also won't copy to a Win 7 HD partition where I store my Thrive stuff. (Update: I was able to do a wireless transfer to my pc and then, from there, to a spare SD card.)
Any thoughts? Should I go back and change the mounts to default?
BTW, I find FolderMount has no real use with the changed mount on the Thrive unless someone tells me otherwise. With the Thrive mounting the external card as internal, files go to the physical card.
gberpa,
I don't understand your question - it is very long. But I know that custom recovery (CWM / TWRP) itself remounts sdcard and internal memory before wipe process so it will wipe correct memory (only internal memory). If you need to change the ROM you don't need to worry about mounting paths because after wipe mounting paths will be restored to original.
