Hey all,
To be brief, my wife is mostly done using her Xoom 1, which means I can get my greedy hands on it to root/mod it etc.
My understanding at reading this forum is that there are several different versions of xoom (stingray, wingray etc.) And that my ROM I download needs to match it. My understanding is that I have a stingray which is a Verizon LTE one. My question is that since my 2 year contract is up, I will be discontinuing the network and only using the device on wifi - in doing so, does my device become a wingray or something else now? or should I plan on downloading and flashing some stingray rom even if I don't use the LTE?
I also saw that safestrap 3.1 was created, but the post I saw was specifically for the Xoom 2. I'm very used to and love this version of recovery from using it with my Bionic, and wanted to know if its compatible with the Xoom 1? Or do I need to use a different recovery? If so, which.
Sorry if these have been answered, but I didn't see the answers if so. And thanks a ton in advance.

It's still a stingray, it's possible to install wingray on it, but it's generally more trouble than it's worth if there are both stingray and wingray roms for the rom you want.
You probably want TWRP (touch enabled and the current version is recommended for the latest EOS builds,) for your recovery (nothing for the Xoom 2 is compatible with the original Xoom unless it specifically says it is, they are completely different.)
Very speedy and to the point! One of the many reasons I love the users on this forum! Thanks so much!

Hi everyone.
I've bought my Motorola Xoom 3G 32GB from the internet and it came with the "international" firmware.
3G used to work all fine with any carrier I try until I flashed Tiamat ROM for all the advantages it supplies.
It just can't find a carrier (which is probably US Verizon).
Is there any way I can regain my 3G back?
Well its been a couple days. Has the 3g kicked in yet by itself?
I went ahead and unlocked my zoom yesterday and when it booted back up I didn't have 4g service kinda like you.
I tried finding some APN settings but the xoom wont let me edit them anyways. By the end of the night I went back to try and fix it again and I noticed it had connected again by itself.
I would try calling the carrier you prefer and get them to reset the APN. Moto might do it if you leave out the rooting part.
If its like phones it might be a case of flashing the multiCSC. Because on my old captivate the multicsc was the international unlock you described.

Well, I'm in this state for moths and still didn't regain my 3G back.
And, is there any way I can re-flash the files which determine the carrier alone?
Or alternatively, isn't there a way to manually compile Tiamat ROM with the international build files for universal support?
well you could go back to stock and that should work to get 3g-
I really like this ROM and don't want to go back to original.
That's why I'm asking for solutions '{: (

Look in the Development Section. TeamEos ICS Nightly is now available for 3G/4G...not sure if it supports international 3G yet, but they're working on it. The ICS rom, while still in alpha/beta stage (missing binaries for cameras) is stable and smooth and has tons of functionality.
Thanks okantomi!
I hope this ends my dilemma (fingers crossed).

It's the one for Stingray (the 3G/4G model).
im in 3.2 stock rom rooted with tiamat kernel oc gpu and 3g works like charm.the system is very fast and respoding good.
Last week I purchased a XOOM from a local importer (way less expensive than our telco's), but im not exactly sure what region its from.
Model : MZ601
Firmware Configuration Version : GAS_ASIA_USAEVRSTURTIRD_P037
Build Number: H.6.5-17-1
Has 32gb, 3g + WiFi , and also came with a UK power plug.
If anyone could identify what region my XOOM is from, or if its one of the GED models I've heard of (but im doubting its GED, I think they are just USA?
If I can find out where its from etc, then id know whether to wait for an official XOOM ICS update ofr it, or root & flash something custom.
Any help, greatly appreciated.
Thats a EU 3G Xoom.
And it likely won't be recieveing ICS from motorola or google for a while.

I suapected it was a uk model, but the firmware naming had me unsure. I had a look at the motorola xoom support site which lists the stock firmwares (always good to have a backup of stock just incase) but not sure which to download.
Us it worrh waitinf on stock for official ics, or is there a particular custom ics thats really worth flashing? ( bearing in mind im not that fussed on 3g capabilities at this stage.)

I tried to root my Xoom two months ago, unsuccessfully. Like many others, I had my Xoom serviced by Motorola due to the bricking. The Xoom works now, but i still want to run a different rom, preferably with less bloatware. Is the Xoom still rootable, or should I kick myself for asking?

It should still be rootable. You will probably need to oem unlock, install a custom recovery and then just flash a rooted rom. You will find them in the Development section. I recommend the configuration in my signature. Really simple that way.
Edit: Nevermind, it's an MZ600. Just checked.
I just got this Motorola Xoom Family Edition running Moto_MZ505_1.006.1_WIFI_GEN does anyone have a root exploit (either adb shell or apk) that will root my tablet? Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately, there is way, as per my humble knowledge and search, as of yet, to root or flash custom rom for xoom family edition. I would suggest you to sell it on ebay and buy another type of xoom.

Well, as for root, there is a way on another forum, google "xoom family edition root" and it should be one of the first things you see.
As for custom roms, you're out of luck. There isn't much in the way of development for the xoom family edition, especially when compared to the development for the original xoom. That isn't to say the Xoom FE is a bad device; it isn't. If root is all you are looking for, it's fine.
Although ROMs (notably CM 10, Vitreous) are being developed for the XT926 Dev Edition, it seems that the XT925 is being left out .
Anyone aware of any initiative towards the XT925?
There seems to be next to no development for the XT925 I'm giving it a month before i dump this and go back to the HOX

The phone is still very new guys, safestrap was only just made available for the locked down devices. Have a little patience. I'd expect to see a fair amount of work done with these phones.
Even without Safestrap, the bootloader can be unlocked, which makes the XT925 a nice candidate for playing with ROMs.
I'd LOVE to give CM10 a try on my device.
Yes, I am impatient! :laugh:
Would love to know as well, as I recently picked one up in Aus.
