Calls for Devs, Euroxoom?

Guys, Euroxooms are becoming expensive paperweights pretty quickly.
The boot image is what is bricking the devices as its not compatible when Root is being done.
Obviously we take the risks when we root, but im slightly PO with it Just kidding, i have faith in XDa and i hope to donate soon for such a worthy cause.
My question I pose to the devs is the following, Can someone source out a boot.img to recover back to Stock, for the Mz601 model? (3g / wifi Euro variant)
I see all the recovery and root for the Verizoom, but nothing for our Europe brothers here
Has there or is there, any work being done on recovering bricked devices?

A shot into the dark here .... have you attempted flashing the US system image?

I rooted my UK Xoom without problems but when I tried one of the BigDX Xoom themes I got loads of Force Closures.
I had no option but to flash the boot.img and system.img files taken from the Canadian (MZ604)
At least this recovered my Xoom to a working version and now works fine now running a rooted Xoom with the latest Tiamat Xoom 1.4.0 kernel.
I have now made a Nandroid backup using ClockworkMod Recovery should I have problems in the future.
Hopefully, someone will pull the recovery.img, boot.img and system.imf files from the UK Xoom???
Cheers
Ody

WAIT
Guys be patient, I have a stock system and boot image for us, we just need to get a recovery, DO NOT ROOT using the methods here, I will post a rooted boot for euro as soon as I can get it tested.
I have asked the people posting the root instructions to mention that it should not be used on the euro xoom's but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

I have the stuff already, except for the recovery I just don't have anyone to test it yet and theres no way I'm releasing without testing. I got it to work on my device but I had to go through an unusual and painful process.

I'm just re-iterating for everyone else who wasn't there

may i suggest that the Devs sticky this for the benefit of the European Xoom.
I bricked mine, bought in york, took to Portsmouth CPW and they replaced it there and then, you might not be so lucky, but i think we need to be careful with bricking it lol ,
On a lighter note, how do we dump our roms with boot, system image files, for the benefit of all those who want to unbrick their uk / euroxooms?

How did you brick your Xoom? You did'nt try and relock it? As I said no problems rooting my Xoom from PCWorld? PUP!!!!

yep i did lock it and put a buggered boot.img on there

any update on the Euroxoomroot? xd
Id like to crack it open without having to worry about the bloody thing of bricking it again haha

That'll explain it! I may be wrong but to re-lock it, you would need to flash UK image files (boot.img, recovery.img and system.img). I'll leave my UK Xoom unlocked and rooted until Motorola release a proper recovery flash file?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

haha, yeah might be a good idea, you have a DHD too? XD, what you running on it ?
im currently on CM 7.0.2 xd , nice phone :_),
How did you get your root on your tab? i am desperate to root it as TitBAckup is a necessity xd plus i want to experiment, do you think its worth waiting till the files for the Eurotab are released?
When i try to boot my tab after the one click root, it was at that point it was bricked, i didnt try to lock it until after ,
weirdly enough though, i could still use fastboot after to do one click root, etc, and lock and unlock and install CWM,

Yep DHD running HDMix Gingerbread! To be honest I don't think you bricked your xoom if you can still get Fastboot? I don't know why one click root didn't work for you but did for me? That said Titanium isn't working for me with the latest Tiamat 1.4.0 kernel.
Also just to say my UK Xoom is WiFi only (not 3g) might explain why I could root mine?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

yeah if you have a wifi only xxom, thatll explain why you have bee able to use the 604 canadian images.

Quick question for you EU zone Xoom wifi owners... on the back of your device where the CE mark is, does it also list an FCC ID? If so what is it?

yes it does, erm, it would vary with the wifi model obviously, ill have alook abd get back to you

I really should have asked if there was a TUV registration number and FCC ID. (CE mark is a certificate of self conformance).
What I was trying to determine is if the hardware between the euro spec wifi xoom and the us spec wifi xoom are the same. If they are then both units could share the same fcc id. In theory the wifi Xoom could hold both a TUV ID, and FCC ID since there is in theory no need to make engineering changes between the units to meet compliance regulations, and because of the costs involved most companies tend not to make engineering changes if they do not need to.
The 3G units will obviously have variations because of the different Rx/Tx frequencies for the various cellular carriers, but

My WiFi FCC ID Number is IHDT56MT1

Cannot root encrypted tab

Must wipe tab in setting and start from scratch for root to work. . . Not sure what will happen if I encrypt now that's it rooted. . .

Interesting, but makes sense I guess...
I will confirm that I rooted, fixed wpa_supplicant, THEN encrypted and all is well.

Thanks.
Please clarify though u are confirming that root then crypto works or you are about to confirm?
Whats the story on wpa? I am having occasional wifi dropouts
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk

i was trying to root it from yesterday but when i saw your post.. i tried it.. i wiped it and it worked fine..

Yeap works here also
Only problem you cannot use pattern to unlock encryption, nor can you re enable it for lockscreen bummee.
Also the encryption password can on be 16 characters or less and can be changed on the fly, so I really wonder how strong the encryotion is.

I rooted my A500 using the modified ginerbreak apk whilst it was still encrypted and haven't had any problems other than the first reboot after rooting took a very long time compared to normal

I was saying it worked beautifully for me. I am rooted then encrypted with no complications.
No wifi issues here, even before I replaced wpa_supplicant. It holds solid to both my home wireless and my cellphone ad-hoc with no trouble.
If you have an older access point, it may be time to upgrade. I was forced to upgrade when I got a Wii - it's wireless would constantly cause my access point to reboot. Most consumer grade access points / routers are crap. I replaced mine with a DWL-3200AP. Doesn't have that fancy "n" stuff, but really, when your Internet is less than 1/4 the speed of your wireless network, does it really matter? Just an opinion, I know it matters to some people moving large files locally.

Hi guy. I updated the kernel from the forum here, next encrypted and now:
- root apk doesn't work (it hangs up)
- I loose language and time settings at every reboot
Any suggestion?
Thanks

here you can find how to flash and here you can find all fw from samsung. But I don't recommend you use GB firmwares, they are development versions and have some bugs. The most stable and usable fw is XXKB3

You absolutely can. The Indian firmware is only because of Hindi or telegu etc language packs and yeah no one speaks modern Hindi anymore it's all English spelt Hindi. Like 'ye kya hai ' so XXKB3 is your perfect bet. Also the default language is Russian but at startup you can choose english or it does it automatically by selecting your region from SIM. Gl and safe flash

The issue I am facing is GPS lock its taking around 20 sec to get lock and its not steady after few seconds the lock is getting released..Please help.

You should be able to use superoneclick to root it, but there are no custom roms that I'm aware of for the p1010 wifi only tab.

Did you try any other rom?

Isn't the GT-P7510 a WI-FI only model and you say its a Telus which would be GT-7500 with 3g?

Guess it could be a Telus branded WI-FI only 7510 tab.
If it's actually 3g, or whatever they like to call their carrier service, and you can use their carrier service or anything other than WI-FI only. Then it's actually a 7500.
It could be some other crazy hybrid I've noticed being posted about lately other than GT-P7500 & GT-7510.
I'd check the back of the tab at the bottom and confirm what model you have before continuing to try to root.
Kinda hard to read, being so small and almost the same color of the tab, but the model number there is what I'd trust, at least more than the box.

Good luck finding a good ROM that is for a 7510 that supports anything other than WI-FI ONLY.
Of course if it is WI-FI ONLY I'd suggest Task 14.
Overcome ROMs have both 7500 & 7510 version so support may be a lot easier to get and more forthcoming there if it's anything more than WI-FI ONLY.
