How to manual update a complete stock US wifi only Xoom to 3.1 without host cable?

Is it possible?
My xoom is NOT rooted and I do not intend to root it. I just want to manual update it because the update still haven't showed up on the device
Thx.

Sorry, nope. I'm in the same boat with an unactivated 3g.

Hi, I also have a non rooted wifi Xoom and I just downloaded the Honeycomb 3.1 update zip file but I don't know how to install it. Any idea?
Thanks

several how-to guides available. You must have a USB micro-USB female OTG adapter and a thumb drive. If you don't, go get one then read these forums again.

Yes, the problem is that i don´t have one right now and can´t get one shipped quickly. I live in Brazil and bought one on ebay last week. It´s coming from Hong Kong lol
But i have read on the forum that the recovery option trough USB is avaible ONLY to 3G models and that´s not my case. Is that true?
Thx.

Tried OTG Cable - No Luck
I tried the procedure outlined in the forums. I've made my own OTG cable by connecting a gender USB Female-to-Female adapter. Tried formatting my San Disk Cruzer or even micro-SD to USB converter and following the procedure. I get E: Cannot locate /sdcard (No such file or directory) I have the update.zip file in the root of either the thumbdrive or microSD card plugged into the microSD to USB converter. I saw someone make their own cable and provide a photo and I pretty much did the same thing. Any ideas?

OTG in any USB cable?

Someone should correct me if I'm wrong, but an OTG cable is different from a converter. OTG is a specification that requires a very small chip in the cable. All you made with a F-F adapter is a USBmicro to USB converter. But the idea was good
Anyone know if the OTG is built into the USB cable that came with the xoom? Is it built into any cable? I can get a F-F adapter tomorrow and give this a try, but if someone says that it's never in the cables then I won't bother.

host cable doest need any chip.
I bought a standard USB adapter and connected pin 4 to pin 5 on the micro USB plug side, worked great.

NICE! How sis you connect the wires? Did it require soldering? There's lot's of people on here who would love to know how you did this!

Yes, i did solder the wire. I removed the plastic cover with a knife and soldered the wire to the pins 4 and 5.
I must say I'm not good at soldering, but it worked, so i believe anyone can do it. Just check with a multimeter that there is no short with other pins before you use your creation.

EasyConnect mirroring app doesn't connect to my phone

UPDATE (3-8-17) - I ran the app again today and a window popped up saying there was an update available. It downloaded, I updated (and the update actually worked this time) and now it works!
My MTCD-KD 5.1.1 head unit came with the Easyconnect app. I connect my phone to the unit via usb, the app recognizes my phone, my phone has usb debugging running and I click OK in the dialog box when it connects, my phone's screen immediately goes to Car Mode, but the app fails at "Step #2 - Install MOB interconnection service".

I read somewhere on these forums that the app needs to be updated to work with 5.1.1. I downloaded the new apk file from one of these forums and I had the vendor that sold me the head unit send me the newest version as well. Both these apk files fail immediately when I try to install them.
Am I missing something? I am still running everything stock since I just installed the head unit in my car a few days ago and I am still feeling it out before I try to customize it. Also, what the heck does MOB stand for?

Did update the HU to latest version?
If yes, did you turn on that option which allows apps to be installed from unknown source in the settings?
And lastly, there is the same setting for unknown source app installation in the factory settings as well, try turning on that too.

I knew it had to be something kind of obvious. So what exactly is the MOB Interconnection Service that fails to install? If I could get that to work I will be in business!
And yes, I installed the newest MCU version hoping that was the issue, but it didn't change anything.

No idea. Mine didn't ask. It downloaded a license and then automatically downloaded a license. It installs the package to your phone via ADB. Did you have Adb turned on? You should get a box asking you to allow the device to connect and you just say OK. It uses ADB to install the client end. There is no activation code that I know of. What kind of phone?

Had similar issue with my phone (Motorola Z Force, USB C). First off it wouldn't connect with my HU at all. Then I tried a shorter cord (3ft rather than 6ft), now it would connect and work for about 5-10 seconds before disconnecting. Then I tried a 1ft USB C cord, and it works perfectly.
Read about a similar issue with Pioneer HUs and some USB C cords not working from being too long, apparently ours do as well and my solution was to use a very short 1ft cord plugged into the female extension lead that came with the kit.
Cheers

download mobile.carbit from cn apk and install on your phone , after plug your phone in multimidia and try again, works

Hey everybody i have a problem with Easy connected in Honda connect by HRV and i have an error 0x11 its adb-ec not found not exist. Whats is this?

I experimented with this app a while ago and couldn't get it working, it would never see the phone. I eventually figured out that it had to be plugged into the bottom USB port on my unit (KGL) for it to see it. Maybe this might help someone else with connection issues.

Im running 4.4.4 i downloaded the easy connect app and installed threw the mocro sd slot. The app i keep trying looks nothing like what i keep seeing on youtube and on other forum pictures. It connected to the phone one time just enough that i could see my phones vodeos on the radio.
My wife has 7.1, app already pre-installed. 5 minutes and i had complete mirror working in both ways setup and running car launcher AG.
Every old forum post with a link to the app i download is the wrong one. Im almost to the point of upgrading to a newer head unit.

Dex Unexpectedly Works Using USB-C hub

THE GOOD:
I bought a USB-C hub (TOPGEEK USB C to HDMI 3-in-1 Digital Multiport Adapter on Amazon for $21.99, can't post the link on here) for my Chromebook Pro and it works great mirroring and extending the desktop on an external monitor. I figured I'd give it a shot on my unlocked S8+, and low and behold, it launched Dex from my phone without help from any 3rd party app, rooting the device, etc.!
THE BAD:
I can run Dex and have connected a USB keyboard/mouse combo, but this setup only works using the phone battery. As soon as I plug in the Samsung charger, it kills Dex and exits the app. I tried skipping the HDMI cord and just tried charging the S8, but that does not work either -- BUT, it will charge the chromebook. So I am confused as ever, and everything I've read on XDA, googled, YouTubed, etc. does not match exactly what I'm using or have setup, so it's hard to draw any conclusions.
Any thoughts of what could be going on? I'm tempted to buy another hub, but I don't know what to look for that would fix my problem.

Anyone have a suggestion of what to try next? I thought there'd be more excitement since I am not rooted, did not flash a custom kernel, etc. Just plugged in the USB-C hub and launched Dex directly.
Or am I missing something??? Nothing I've read exactly matches the case I've got right now...

It certainly is curious, but it still is Dex. - totally not interesting for 99% of the S8(+) Users. Plus it´s already achievable through custom Kernels.

For using Dex and charging simultaneously you can use the wireless charger free given by Samsung. Let me know if that works

Wireless charger offer still active?
Can anyone confirm for me whether Samsung is still offering the free wireless charger for new S8/S8+ owners? I have a new AT&T Galaxy S8+ and it does not have the "My Galaxy" app loaded on it. I also can't find it in either the Play Store or the Galaxy Apps store. Does anyone know if this offer is still being honored? I see a page about it on the Samsung website, but all the instructions talk about using the "My Galaxy" app to get the coupon code to claim one.
Thanks!

Has anyone tried to connect the S8 to a USB-C enabled display (that also possess a USB hub) to see if it would work (as the USB-C from the display should deliver power and data)

Question TB-J706F Need HDMI Output

Have any of you tried to connect the tablet to a monitor with a HDMI connection?
What adapter WORKS.

I have on the j716. My monitor has usbc input, that works fine, and I also have a cheap choetech USBC to hdmi convertor(I bought 3 years ago), also fine. I doubt anything special is needed. One thing I did find is zui 13 added more options, unless I failed to find them on earlier version.

There are people using HDMI output so it might be the adapter or something related to the rom.

Is your tablet the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro or the Xiaoxin Pad Pro?

P11 Pro TB-J706F.
Is there a setting I need to change before/after connecting the adapter and the TV? All I did was connect it to the tablet, then to the TV and got nothing on the TV screen.

I ordered a Xiaoxin Pad Pro TB-J706F but I don't have it yet, hope someone else can help you.

So I got my tablet and I bought an adapter and it works perfectly
It's called USAMS U22, paid it around 18$

Does it change the aspect ratio to 16:9?

No, it mirrors the screen, so it had some black bars all around, it was not bad but in my TV I can adjust the zoom vertical and horizontal so now I have no black bars.
In the post I linked previously it says it can be used as second screen with native resolution with some tinkering on adb but I did not try yet.
Also to answer @flhthemi I did not have to change any setting, when I plugged in the cable it asked me if I wanted the sound to go on HDMI or internal and it just worked.
This is the item but I bought it locally in a shop

Can you post the brand and model number please?

Brand: USAMS
Model: US-SJ282
Name: U22 Type C to HDMI 4K HD Adapter Cable(Female),15cm
There is also (I do NOT have this one):
Model: US-SJ281
Name: U21 Type C to HDMI 4K HD Cable(Male),1.8m
I bought it at a retail shop, online I found this in Aliexpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32960700912.html
even if it says it's not available you can check the details and maybe find another seller
@flhthemi I think you need to check what the one you bought supports because probably any USB C To HDMI Cable([email protected]) should work.
Edit 2
Looks like yours is 4k (3840x2160)@30hz

@MrCrayon Thanks so much for the info! I'm going to try and find one of these in a couple days as I'm out of town right now.
EDIT: Well this is strange...the adapter I had already bought, that didn't work, is now working. Mighty strange.

I used this Hub https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005003027956343.html?spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.f728b90apPwr7u and could connect to a TV/Monitor.

I bought a Steam Deck Dockingstation and my Lenovo just won't connect, a message briefly pops up about selecting an HDMI device but it constantly goes away and appears again.
Any suggestion?

Question I have 2 identical S21 but only one can connect to AA

Hello everyone.
So I recently bought 2 Samsung S21 for me and my wife, but only one is recognized by our car, the other not. I suspect that somehow the problem is with USB File Transfer not being correctly enabled.
For the cell phone that works, we plug it to the car via USB cable and instantly the car recognizes it, pair and works.
For the fault cell phone, we connect it to the car via USB cable and nothing happens, it just start charging and nothing more.
I could see that the working cell phone has a "USB Settings" menu accessible via notification panel, while the other one doesn't. Talking about this menu:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I already:
Accessed the Developer Options and changed Default USB configuration to Transfering files
Did a Factory data reset (soft reset)
Restarted the car's system to factory default
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance

Normally a phone has to first connect via Bluetooth. Check if the faulty phone does so. If not, bluetooth pair it with your unit.
Only then connect it it via USB to your unit and see if it now works.
Even though this is a phone question, next time mention what kind of unit you have, which Android version level, etcetera.

Yes @mobilefox , very important information to us to help providing well targeted answers !

Thank you for the answer.
I just noticed the faulty phone cannot transfer files to Windows and the working one can. It is the same behavior, when connected to USB, just charging. Must be something about data/transfer not enabled

Android 12 I suppose, check if , when connected via usb, both units ask for data transfer / charging only question !

Or a faulty USB-C connector. My previous Samsung had that as well.

Just an update:
I could manage to make the faulty phone to connect both to computer and car.
The only way I could do it was:
Plug-in the USB cable both in phone and car/computer
With cable connected and phone charging, access Developer Options
Changed Default USB configuration from "Transfering files" to any other options (Transferring images by example). Right after doing it, "Transferring files" turned into "Transferring files / Android Auto"
Changed back to "Transferring files"
Doing it the car recognized the phone immediately and could open Android Auto.
The only problem is that doing this, bluetooth connection gets unavailable (what makes no sense to me).
It is not the ideal, I'd like to use both AA and Bluetooth like in the working phone, but posting here to maybe help someone else having this issue.
If I can manage to get this working 100% I'll post again.
Thank you for the answers.
Btw, the Android Version is 13 and not 12 as I commented at the end of my first post.
