A story.....
Let me tell you a story, I had a HTC HD2 and it was stuck on an old OS and I really wanted something better and I couldn't wait, finally someone got a not really working copy of android then finally a working one I had waited ages and when it arrived I thought all my life I had waited until this point then when it did arrive, hmmm it was good but not world changer
Ditto with WP7 on it
I love this device I hate Moto and wont buy another device from them but hey are the slight changes really worth it?
not really!
unlike the other one here is a helpful post.

follow it to the letter except installing the frankenrom build you will lose your SDcard access.
Done it on my UK 3G Xoom then I installed tiamat 1.1 worked a treat. 3.1 up and running with full 3G running on Orange

well id love to hear your experience. trieng to make a generic rom was fun lol
I am on Reliance India and using Sprint on phone in Reliance
but some how all Latest Sprint Dump ROM dont work for 1x Data in India with all Radio
Old 1.56 RUU get me back to 1.5 Cupcake version with Data but all Damaged 2.05 and fresh ROM 2.02d Breaks the 1x Data Radio
Let me try this
Good Work
It's everything I would have expected to see in a 2.1 release from my carrier. The apps included are exactly what I remember being on my stock 1.5 but running much smother. I've only used it for 24 hrs or so (and now am awaiting a link yet another new rom to try out LOL) battery life seems good but had to get rid of 50% time without signal with airplane mode. nothing new. I couldn't get google voice outbound to work even using the 0.2 ver. but vmail came through fine. Superuser and all the lights worked. Had to use the fix to get quick Boot working
all in all tho GOOD WORK!! I Liked it.
Thank you
All ROMs that sprint has released they mostly work with CS Hero just few little problems here and there.
I will link this post if you dont mind to my post.
Thank you again
Does anyone know if the Moto xoom will be flashable to boost mobile or metro or cricket like how the samsung tab is
Great question. I don't know the answer but the question is can any Verizon 3G work on Sprint/Metro(same company). You don't want Cricket. My quick look makes me think the odd's aren't great. But I think the EVO was fully ported to MetroPCS.. so maybe.
I don't think a verizon phone can work on sprint and vice versa. If metro works on sprints networks then a sprint phone could be flashed to work on it. It has to do with the wireless technology in the device. Plus, even if it was the same, I doubt sprint would activate it.
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
I doubt it honestly
My research showed that in some markets Metro has a program in place for reprogramming Sprint and Verizon phones for use on their network. However, I suspect they won't do it for a product like the XOOM.
I hope that someone figures it out. I am partially hopeful, I just bought a 11,000mAh battery for my EVO so that I can tether for hours at a time. Testing it right now with everything turned on, streaming tversity video to the phone for hours and barely drained the external 30%.
I'm honestly fairly ignorant on the matter so if I sound stupid give me a pass..
But..
If the hardware could do it, isn't it 'just' a matter of which 'radio firmware' is being used? (with regards to porting to a different carrier)
Motorola Xoom
Hey everyone, hows it going. First I would like to thank everyone here for all your hard work on these new android devices and helping people like me figure out problems to how to get these devices working.
I just got back from the store where I picked up the new motorola xoom. I've noticed that its on verizons service, but would like to know if anyone can point me to the proper direction as to how I can get this device working on crickets network.
I have a droid x, droid 3 all working on cricket data, mms and all working. next task is to get this xoom working on crickets data... any idea's as to where I can start off...
I'm not finding any informaiton about this device at all for flashing. I found someone who claims that they can root there xoom, ... its a start, but not really wanting to do that without consulting the professionals first.
please note that this is not my first go around with custom roms or rooted gingerbread roms. also please note that I'm aware this rom is the hunnycomb rom.
any help is much appreciated .... sorry about the spelling and thanks for all your help in advanced.

If by the new Xoom you mean the XYboard, it is not yet rootable. The original Xoom is rootable and has a number of awesome roms and overclocking kernels. Take a look around the forum and you will see many wonderful things. I'm sorry that I can't help you with getting your Xoom to run on the cricket network...

I must have the original then, I just got finished rooting the xoom. I do have a Sim slot that has a clear card in in, just in front of the microSD slot that says "replace with 4G card after system update"
So seeing as how I got this tablet rooted.... lets see if I can get it working with data, .... any help is appreciated
I noticed that the evo 3d now has temp root.
http://therootofallevo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=76
Would be nice if we could get someone with the latest ota to attempt it and if this temp root would work for the evo as well. I won't be able to test this until later tomorrow evening.
If anyone tries it please let me know.
I have an evo with a broken screen that I will try it on...but not today. Too much BBQ'n to do. So, unless someone has another sacrificial lamb, or is just feelin' the itch, I'll take one for the team.
Well sh1tsticks! Just read in q&a that 2 people have already tried it...no dice.
Yeah word is it is a Sense 2.0+ exploit, yet another slap in the face from Sprint & HTC for not upgrading us EVO owners to a newer version of Sense with that lackluster gingerbread update.

Evo 4g OTA 4.24.651.1 Rooted
Hi guys,
Well I'm fully rooted. Cracked a screen on my old one, 5 days ago got new unit with 4.24.651.1 Looked at every forum, could not find a way to root, finally broke down and found a person on Craigs List and he helped me via remote PC session. He charges $35 but I trated him some services I provide. I gues it involves some keygen, cuz when I have him my serial number he than came back with another number and we pushed few files on via USB Mode and I'm rooted with Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 and than I chose MikG-v2.45-signed.zip By far the best Rom I tried on my EVO 4g. Guess I'm just mentioning this to those that still believe that that firmware has the HBOOT locked still. It is for sure rootable. I would share if I had his permission. I don't even know what was involved when he took my phones S/N but it took 10 mins to root
I'm not even promoting his services, look on CL if you like. I'm just happy to be rooted. Also I was blown away that the built in hotspot now works !! no need for wi-fi tether app ! Also i noticed much better connectivity using the hotspot from Sprint, it only allows 5 devices but worked excelent and faster. Hope I don't get a bill in the mail though Hope this info helps someone guys
Ohh my goddd hahahahahahhaah root has been available for a few days now. For free(lmfaooo) look at the date of this thread..
PS. Sorry about laughing

I have quickly had a look round but did not see any other threads relating to this. Last night my UK Carphone Warehouse Xoom said it had and update available and pointed me to http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Support/GB-EN/TABLETS/MZ601/Xoom3G_MR1_UK_Release_Notes_UK.htm for more information. I installed this and got a pop up when it rebooted saying it was successful. However nothing has appears to have changed, I am still on 3.0.1 and when I go to check for new updates again it says my device is up to date. I was wondering if anyone else had any more luck or know how to force the Xoom to try the install again. I would take it into a Carphone Warehouse store to ask but they appear to be all on fire.
*Update*
The xoom downloaded a second update around lunch time today and I'm now running 3.1
I got the same update this morning, I suspect it was a small preparation update, and 3.1 should be right around the corner
Pretty sure I'm downloading the 3.1 update now. It matches the update code in the guide you linked.
Recharge the battery above 50% then will begin the second phase of the installation.

Seriously? I just updated to 3.2 on 21% battery while charging. If that's true that's just strange.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Now fully updated to 3.1, give it time and hit the search for updates regularly and it'll eventually popup.
Seems noticably smoother, more responsive, and less laggy.
I got the same message this morning. Proceeded to download and install update, and it hung about 1/4 way through. Now just sat at screen with an android next to an exclamation mark.
UK 3g rooted, CWM etc
Dont know what to do now?
Reflash nandroid and try again, gets the same results.

I think you have to be bootloader locked, not rooted and on stock for an OTA to work correctly.

Ok, rooted and bootloader unlocked.
Any other way to apply the updates ?

Uk XOOM locked an stock 3g from carphone warehouse but no update.
Cold started loads, checked update in about and even changed the date but cant pull updated.
Anyone got any advice as im desperate for the update?
Sent from my MZ601 using XDA Premium App
stock 3g got the ota update 30mins ago noticeable difference in performance much much better experience all round.
a few issues
UK 3G unrooted or touched in anyway here is my feedback
Pro's
1. Web browser quick keys are all the more better and make it a glory to use
Con's
1. a few apps wont open NVidia app and marketplace just freezes up
2. More importantly my connectivity has been seriously reduced last night I was tethering all night playing minecraft beta and now its just giving me the no internet connection all the time on 3G or when near WiFi the exact same problem
any thoughts?
Hi all,
Last night got the smaller update first and then after a reboot was advised to have a charging or fully charged battery and to proceed with the 2nd update over WiFi which i did. All went well all my apps and settings where still intact and i now have a working SD card otherwise haven't really noticed any differences as using ADW EX mine was already smooth and fast but i have no issues caused by this update. I have a UK Xoom from CPW runnning on a Talkmobile Sim.

anyone tried uk BT keyboard to see if you get the UK layout?
Hi guys,

Personally, until someone who has gone through the OTA install and played with the UK 3.1, I'm not touching this with a barge pole. Hammerhead 2.1 is fantastic and we need to find if there are any advantages to backtracking to 3.1 in my opinion. The hassle of relocking and unrooting is too much without knowing the benefits.
Good morning everyone
I understand that the A500 model does not support 3g. I have connected my unlocked 3g dongle just to see if I get any response but no lack.
Then, one day I was playing with some widgets and one of them was the 3g on/off. I pluged in my dongle again and the dongle was powering up and was searching for signal . The blue light was flashing but not solid as could not connect to any network. I was also able to go to the APN config page but I could not see any APN (usually they are detected automaticaly)nor to add my own (I have three.co.uk plan).
I am assuming that it is possible to make 3g work but I have no idea how to do that. Are there any developers who can work on that project or have any more info or the subject? Has anyone managed to go as far as I have?
Thank you

Yes gone that far and working, use it every day on my PackardBell LibertyTab what is the exact same tablet as the A500.
Look in the dev section , there are many roms that support 3G dongle.
Build.prop needs to be altered , system/bin , system/lib , system/etc all need changes to make the 3G work.
How and what is a to long story and is beeing told on google......
But doing it on a stock non rooted rom , don't think so.
Thanks for your reply. I was pushing my luck thinking I could do that without the A500 being rooted...No rooting is available yet (3.2), so I'll wait!

Let me get this right. As I am new to tablets I finally got my last night from BB. I can use the radio built into the tablet and get data via 3g? If that is the case I will be unlocking it tonight. I have been tethering from my rooted dinc2. But if I could do this o man that would save a ton of money in data plans. I apoligize if this sounds noobish I just wanted to understand what you were talking about.

No, there is no 3G chipset in A500. They're talking about a USB device with 3G chipset in it and which you plug to A500, like those that are usually sold for people with laptops and who want mobile broadband.
Okay, I was going to freak out. I really didn't think a wifi only device would have a3g radio. But thanks for clearing the mud up.
