Hello, so I want to upgrade my Canadian Motorola Xoom MZ604 with android 4.1.2 to US version with Jelly Bean. I found some tutorials, but it was just upgrade from Honeycomb to Honeycomb, but I want JB. So is it possible? Thank you

To answer your question, yes it's possible. Tutorial should work on your Canadian Xoom.

That is correct - root your Xoom and install a recovery (TWRP suggested) and the 4.2.x rom of your choice, I've had very good results with the EOS 4 for wingray. stable and version 4.22.
look in the android development section of this forum. All the details are there, as well as a selection of ROMS to choose from.
Guys I think he meant to use GED. That's not hard to do @FreNKiii download the US stock version (you can find the link in Xoom General) and then flash it with fastboot, remembering that you will need to have unlocked BL

I am also hunting for a technique for rooting xyboard mz617 devices (I've got 10 of them I want to update to the latest they will support and they are stuck on Android 4.0.4).
Please update if you come across a good set of instructions / tools.
( also hunting on xoomforums.com )

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.

It would help to put up what kind of Android version you're on. Just simply putting your kernel version doesn't help at all.

Dude, you ARE on Jelly Bean. Android 4.1.x - 4.3.x is all Jelly Bean.
As for changing the kernel version, there isn't much of a choice for Android 4.1.2. You'd have to root it and use a different Android version if you really want a different kernel version (doesn't matter honestly).
Read about rooting and unlocking boot loader , flashing a Rom, and updating your bootloader (modem). I like 4.1.2 Roms, Obsessed Rom, TKRom, Clean 7 Rom, and Synergy. Each have themes that are great. Read up on rooting, unlocking boot loader, flashing Rom and changing basebands BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE. Each carrier and model is not the same so make sure you only follow directions for your specific device model and carrier, if not you will most likely have a paperweight. Good Luck.
Lean kernel , KT747, and a few others have 4.1.2 kernels available.

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..

Hi,
I have rooted my Verizon Wireless Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 MZ617 codename pasteur running 98.8.127.MZ617.Verizon.en.US Jelly Bean Android Version 4.1.2 , I have successfully been able to get bootstrap with CWM installed and working as well as Safestrap 3.12 :fingers-crossed:
But I can't seem to find any ROMs. A few questions I have.
A)anyone have names or links to ROMs I can flash?
B)How about a ZIP flashable ICS leak? Can someone make one plz?
C)BigPart.... Is my understanding an unlocked bootloader is required for this?
D)what if any cross compatible builds are there ? Like can I run a WiFi only ROM for the Motorola XOOM 2 MZ615 ? Or the CDMA 3G MZ608? Or will Xoom 1 Stingray ROMs MZ602/MZ604 work?
Any insight is appreciated. :good: OMW to find out if Sunshine will work to unlock the bootloader.
+1 :good:
