Hi,
So i have a xoom 2 media edition (uk version) .. cant seem to find much out about rooting/unlocking the bootloader.
does anyone know the status on this ?
sorry to post here, but doesnt seem to be a xoom 2 section yet
me too
got myself one too.
MODs, please create XOOM2/ME forum, especially because Xoom2 and Xoom2ME is based on different chipset (non-tegra, and none of the Xoom1 tricks works on it)
For now, the tablet's bootloader is non-unlockable, all root exploits i have found fail.
I suspect after (if at all) the bootloader is unlocked, some of the Galaxy Nexus tricks will work.
On topic, this tablet urgently needs root because motorola in its [motocast promotion] ingenuity locked firewall ports 80,8080,21 etc. on the tablet... so no FileXpert web/ftp sharing, no samba, no way to access files directly.
got one too
Yeah got one today as well and interest a custom ROM as well also quick question to ask, can you add micro sd card and if yes how? and when using Swype is anybody experience very bad lag?
No sd card slot on xoom 2 - although the cover is there
Cheers zonyx I thought that but on the instructions inside the box it tells.you to take out the placholders and put a sd card in but 16GB should be fine

yeah, i read the same - even the sim card slot is there also.
its a bit of a downer though that motorola couldnt even be bothered to just completely seal the case
Agree with zeer, could a mod create a sub section for xoom 2 and xoom 2 me?
Maybe one is enough as they both seems to have same hardware.
Who do with need to contact to get a new sub catagory
I believe the ME and Xoom 2 are the same hardware just different screen sizes
If anyone needs any system info etc... I can put my ME up for testing

I agree. IMHO Xoom 2 ME is the best android tablet available that money can buy (i.e. not including Transformer Prime) but pre-installed software sucks. I have no idea how motorola have managed to decrease the performance by so much but root and CM9 would make this pieace of hardware what it should have been by delivery
xoom2 forum plz ... The tablet is very good .great size (the reason i bought it ) great screen , very good built quality , speakers and camera . Needs update to ics and root access .. The price in europe is good if you compare it with other tegra 2 devices but in few months ti omap processor will be outdated ...
I took my xoom 2 me back, it suffered from awful lag on the browser and WiFi kept disconnecting, maybe a bad build but didn't want to risk it with another maybe ics will solve these but got the HTC flyer for half the price and its a lot better and more responsive with GB on as well
But on a positive I agree the sound quality is very good

Hello i just bought my xoom2 from uk
Hello,
I`m new to the Forum, but a reader since a little while.
I have bought a Xoom 2 Media Edition too from UK, and can only say I like it pretty much sofar.
Hope that ICS 4.0 will come soon.
Is there any knowledge at all if a root hack might be possible and when ?
Many thanks for any kind of input or links at all.
Have been googling around for hours but didn't find anything usable...
EDIT: The Fact of the lacking Storage is really annoying (no USB or SD) but that Motorola blocked the Ports mentioned really sucks. I will contact the Motorola Support for this, after failing to make a ftp connection work for hours ....
Cheers & Greetings

Hi,
I have some blinking texts (and also small blinking squares) sometimes in the market for example.
Entering text in the browser (like what I'm currently doing on xda) is very laggy (with default keyboard and default browser) every striked key takes a little time to display.
Also, the green pointer used to move the cursor and the cursor himself are not well aligned.
Do you also have these issues?
moderators can you create a xoom2 forum please we need it .....
I do notice a little lag from keyboard... I dont use mouse on mine at the moment.
Swiftkey is bit better...
ive put a post on the suggestion thread about a xoom 2 sub forum.

Hi,
I've made a video of freezes I have in fruit ninja (it's only an example, I have the same thing in other games, and many other problems previously described here).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xi8_oKDp3Q (look for example at 0:12, 0:18, 0:29, 0:43, 0:46, ...)
before making this video I have hard reseted my tablet and the only app installed after the reset was fruit ninja.
do you have the same behaviour or mine is defective?
Hello, my friends.
I bought xoom 2 ME also.
1. USB host does not work.
2. no sd card
3. I have light spots on border on dark background
4. 16 hours in standby mode (wifi- off, all applications were closed)
Have you any suggestions?
1. I haven't tried yet, I'll test as soon as I receive my cable
2. like every xoom2 ME
3. I also see these light spots on black screens, it seems like it's normal.
4. You surely have a running app eating your cpu/battery, look in battery usage if you see something, I do not have this problem.
Looking at either ASUS dual-band wireless-n-gigabit router ($129) vs Linksys N Dual Band Router 4500 i believe..Reviews are mixed for both..I want to go with the ASUS but some say it stops working or overheats...
so figured I'd pose the question to the forum with many experts as I am not.
we have 2 phones, 2 mac computers, and 1 smart vizio tv
are those devices able to run on the 5 mhz band?
appreciate the help
anyone? anyone?:crying:
If the ASUS you're talking about is the RTN-66U Dark Knight, then the ASUS is what you want. If that's not the one you're talking about, it should be. Trust me, this router obliterates everything else on the market right now. There's no over heating issues, signal range is amazing, and wireless throughput is excellent. This is the first router that ive actually been able to use the 5ghz band on too. I recommend this router to all my friends, 2 of em have went for it, and now recommend it to others. Linksys is good, but their quality has dropped over the years, and their UI has gotten worse too. The RTN-66U is a safe bet.

Hi,
i would like some help to see if the device i have has any other custom firmware,
i have attached a few pics of the device.
the discription that was provided by the vendor is as following
7" TFT screen, A9 core 1.5ghz, 512 ram ddr3, 8gb internal memory, andoroid 4.0, has GPS, TF card support upto 16gb, VGA front camera.
NO bluethooth,
the model no. assigned by the manufacturer / vendor is ET-6018 , being sold on egmemory.com...
to be honest i knew that the tablet will be slow... but its so slow that even opening a single menu takes ages...
i cant return it as the vendor is being very A**holic...
i was wondering since i cant use it or return it... mite as well flash it with a custom rom.
please help me to identify this tablet's common name and if any custom roms are availabel for such device.
many thanks
Try this link for more information possibly....I've been searching a while on your subject and it's extremely difficult to find an exact "common" name for your device

Some Info found
I managed to get a little further, and i hope the info helps? Im English but based in Aisa, and often have to source hard to find manufacturers. I couldnt read the model number in your last photo, but as it says on the back of the Tablet, it is made by a company called Easy Groups, who specifically manufacture Memory modules. The main website is egmemory.net
In the support section, they have manuals and firmware downloads, but i stopped there because i couldnt read the model number. The link to the support page is...... egmemory.net/download.php?lang=eng (add the 3 ww's in front)
The only ROMs i could see listed however, where Chinese ROMs but i would have thought there would be an English language option somewhere!
I hope this helps?

I also saw those firmware updates on that website and I clicked the one for the et-6018 and it took me to a dead page. The other links for the other models did the same
A little secret...;o)
If you do the non obvious and do a right click, then select open in new tab, it downloads the 'firmware' for the manual it opens a PDF in a new window.
Unfortunately the 'firmware' on offer is just a utility tool for upgrading and is 1MB in size called Phoenix Card and has a handful of DLL's with it. I did a little more digging and picked up hints to follow 2 models, CWM MK802 and CM10
I did find this though, i wonder if this would work, the author states its a slim custom ROM for the A9 but doesnt state its for any particular model...

Made in China?
Those made in Taiwan perhaps??....
Seriously though, these little tablets are quite addictive to play with! When im not at home in the UK, im in Indonesia for most of the year, there is a local market that sells second hand stuff, like a flea market. I often find broken or used tablets for as little as $10 I have about 15 of them now. One i have hacked to the extreme hardware wise, inside i fitted a 4 port hub, a second camera facing forward, a wifi mouse and keyboard dongle, a broadband dongle and a second USB port on the side, maybe i should post this as an instructable? Another i have used the insides as a controller for an amateur radio transmitter.

Hi everyone
I've just bought myself a Xoom 2 UK wifi tablet. I got it to replace my HP Touchpad which has given me great service over the past two years in its Android incarnation. However, after updating it from its original GB to ICS, I've noticed that a fair few of my daily used apps are missing from the play store. So its fairly important that I root the Xoom. I've seen that there are a multitude of different versions which seem to differ markedly from each other in terms of rooting and upgrading so I'd like some help in knowing if there are any one button solutions to it and the best/safest way to get root. Thanks in advance.
Refer to the sticky on top.

For Christmas, I purchased two 7" Nextbook tablets. One went to my wife, and the other to my daughter. Google Play identifies both as "YIFANG NX007HD". My daughter got hers first. I quickly noticed a large number of apps show up as "incompatible with your device" on it. Common apps like Angry Birds, Wal-Mart, & Chrome. (Even though Chrome came installed on the device)
However, when we set up my wife's tablet, all these same apps show up as compatible, and install from Play just fine. I'm hoping to solve this mystery and hopefully get my daughter's tablet to work the same on the Play Store as my wife's. They are (or seem to be) identical after all, there must be a reason.
I don't know if the following has any bearing on the issue, but if so perhaps someone can tell me. We reside in the United States, but my daughter's google account uses an email address with the .in TLD. Her account also has no payment method set up.
If I had had more time with her, I would have liked to have swapped accounts on the two devices to determine for certain whether the issue was account related or device related. But I won't get a chance to troubleshoot until I see her again in the spring. Also, just to be clear, I don't need info on sideloading APKs. I'm just looking for reasons that only one of these two identical tablets would show so many "incompatible with your device" apps on the Play Store, while working fine on the second.

If you're willing to root, xposed has a module that removes that limitation. If not, I think it might be a software glitch. Bring it to the service centre to check it out.

Unfortunately the guys of Yifang / Nextbook / e-Fun are complete ass***holes.
They I've made a couple (or three?) identical devices, M7000 (silver back) / M7002 (black back) & M7000NBD (silver back), with complete different chips, two first driven by RK3066 (1.6Gz) and third one by AML8726-MXS (1.5Gz).
More than that in the site of Nextbook they promote some Nextbook Premium7HD (silver back) and they didn't mention speed processor or chip inside. This device are also branded as NX007HD & NX007HD8G.
From commercial point of view they just released the one they have in stock.
From user point of view a total mess!!! People is mounting Rockchip stuff in AMLogic devices and vice-verse.
Lots of users with their devices bricked... not all the users have the knowledge to notice the internal difference.
The worse part of it is that this device are cheap and really good.
I love Yifang devices... but IMHO this Chinese guys have gone too far doing this chitty tricks.
