Help for newbie with ICS and wingray - Xoom General

I had the wingray problem when I tried to update my xoom with ICS. Instead of waiting patiently for a fix, I put the EOS ICS nightly on my xoom. Now that the wingray problem is solved i'd love to put the regular ICS on my xoom. I've read through a lot of threads but am too confused.
Can anyone provide clear instructions on how to restore the regular version of honeycomb needed to upgrade to the ICS??
Thanks in advance for any help.

Why? The Eos wingray nightly at #37 is super stable, complete, higher performance and has more features than the "official update" and with Eos you can preserve your root. To go from a superb working rom to stock unrooted, have to flash using a usb stick and otg cable, then potentially have to root again (if you want to) just to get something less complete and less high performance seems crazy to me. But good luck if you want to.

Go here, signup (free), download and flash MZ604 Build HWI69 for US Retail
http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/
Then do OTA's to get to 3.2
Then follow:

You'll need the Moto OTG USB cable.
Good luck.

Actually you don't need the OTG cable's once you get back to full stock, you can use fast boot to flash cwm recovery. Make a slight modification to the update script (remove the first 2 asserts) and then use cwm to load the OTA. NOT FOR THE INEXPERIENCED! But it can be done, I and othersx have done it.

Again, I ask, Why? Just for a few games that don't run well?
Well, good luck.

Thanks for the replies. The EOS ICS is working pretty good for me. I just wanted to go to the leaked ICS so I can easily update over the air in the future. I'm not into many games so it's not about that.
The EOS is having problems with the GPS and it's driving me crazy.

Att 2.3.5 - 4.5.133

samcripp posted the official rooted deodexed 4.5.133 ROM with 2.3.5. anyone installed it? what impact will this have on future development?
it's basically a stock os, deodexed and rooted. I flashed it but quickly reverted back to an older 4.5.91 based ROM (Alien#4)
uhm does this update come through the system updates normally? or where did he get the stuff from ?

Advantage of running official ICS over Team EOS nightly?

Hey all, I'm running the Team EOS nightly and was wondering if there is any advantage to restoring to stock honeycomb for the official ICS update?
Should I just wait until a rooted ICS version based on the official is released?
It was released already, it's at the top of the development forum...flash with CWM, it's already rooted. From what I understand, it's probably faster for 3D gaming...could be wrong though.
Are there any issues with the official ics? I would do a search but it seems the search function is missing for some strange reason.

I can't think of a single one. I just flashed nightly 26 from 23, booting it now. Loving the EOS builds!
For a while none of the gameloft games were working on EOS.
Could have been fixed by now.

It is, I've got Uno and MC3 on mine and they are working fine.
I decided to load up the official rooted release and so far it's pretty much the same as Team EOS's build. Team EOS does seem to be a bit snappier, and I do miss the reboot options on Team EOS build. The only improvement I see with the official is the camera, that seems to be snappier and more responsive on the official.
Only issue existing on both version is the Revision3 app that just won't load.

I've been running rooted ICS stock for several days now ... installed the leaked RC, then rooted.
Your question about EOS vs. stock gets the standard answer from me - are you happy with EOS and want more features in the future? If so, then stay with EOS.
For me, I'll stay with stock rooted - I just want a tablet that works and not interested in tweaks. I'll spend my tweaking time on my Photon.
There is no objectively right or wrong answer to your question, and nobody else can answer it for you. Enjoy!
Good thread. I was curious as well because knowing verizon (any carrier really) i doubt I'll see ICS anytime jan or feb and i konda want it now...
Pronlem is i dkdnt really want to root my xoom, but i guess ill have to now.
Ill wait until monday maybe

Actually you don't have to root your Xoom if you just want ICS. I believe there is a stock ICS rom out there too. You will have to unlock the bootloader though.
From my perspective if you are running a rooted stock version of ICS there is virtually not a single reason. Stock isn't overclocked, a lot of enhancements are missing etc. But if you run a completely stock ICS with no root there are some advantages. For example, if you run a non-rooted stock you can rent videos from Google. I can't really think of anything else haha. Go EOS, their ROM is sick.

What benefit does the eos have? No need for OC for me. I actually use the xoom alot during the day and will only jse up mlre battery.
I don't rent videos either so i don't care about that

There are a ton of advantages to EOS ROM over Stock. The major one is the micro SD card is read/writable, all voice-to-text features are working as is facelock, the micro USB port is actually useful now, the EOS quick settings are very nice and they all work! There are several battery options from EOS settings and you can make the notification pull look any way you like.
Even if you don't use the performance features this ROM is the only way to Xoom. Until CM9 or Rogue get one out for the 4G

I'm fine with different versions of ROMs, but you guys should team up with the cm10 development we have going on here with some developers with great talent, waydownsouth, randomblame, gh123man and others.
EDIT:
This is the same work as the current cm10 ROM on the forums, this should be deleted for duplicate ROM posted.

Nearly bricked TPT - need CM9

Hey,
maybe some of you could help me by my question:
My problem is, that I did not backed up anything (now I know this was a huge mistake...) and installed CM9 by Koshu.
Now, I lost the CM9 zip-file, my device is wiped and the links provided by Koshus post are dead
So... right now I got a 64Gb TPT WE with nothing but CWM and no android version to flash and right here is my question:
Could anyone at least provide me a working CM9 Rom, so I can work with the tablet and could hopefully revert to stock recovery?
Far better would be if someone has a CWM Backup for my device, but I am happy for any help!
Thank you very much in advance!
It is late now but tomorrow i will upload a backup.
Do not know if it will work but you can try.
Thank you very much!
I ask in the other thread also, but I'll ask here too -
For the fun of asking, why are you trying to install CM9 instead of CM10?

I need to install CM9 because CM10 is build on the Lenovo ICS Kernel, which I have not installed on the device.
Or did I understand it wrong?
This is my backup.My TPT is a 16 Gb ROW.So not sure if it is going to work.
3 backups.
i think it is the original ICS from lenovo.

this is a backup of CM10 ( i hope).

Ahh OK. You got it right. Is there a reason you aren't getting a stock honeycomb to upgrade to ICS?

If someone would provide me the stock honeycomb I would be glad
Because of my early (and definitely un-smart) non backup strategy, I lost the stock honeycomb
To berbecverde:
Thank you, I'll try as soon as I can. Unfortunately (for the TPT, not for me ) I am on vacation for the next 2 Weeks and I left the tab at home.
As soon as I am back, I'll give you guys some feedback (maybe someone in the future can use this to un-brick his device).

Nook HD/HD+ officially supported by Cyanogen!

Break out the bubbly, we have successfully been merged in. Congrats, Verygreen, for all your hard work!
woot!
wonder when the first official nightly is ready. anyone has an idea from past experiences, how long it takes them from announcing the device, to first nightly?
The merge is not fully complete yet.
We most likely missed today's nightly window too. Hopefully tomorrow we'll be fully ready.
That is way awesome. CM 10.2 here we come
Thanks for the update. If you don't mind me asking, what's causing the delay?

This is great news. I have a Nook HD and hope this will mean that soon more bluetooth keyboards will work with it! (In particular the Anker Ultra-slim). I was interested in verygreen's own updated CM, but was unclear whether this works on the HD or just the HD+.
Perhaps we will also be able to use some planetarium/star charting apps. Invariably I am told that they are incompatible with my device.

My Anker bluetooth kb K1280C (can't remember what it's called) works fine with CM. Whereas bluetooth keyboards don't seem to work on stock. But, bt mice work on stock, and don't work on CM. Go figure.
This sounds like great news & a testament to verygreen's tireless efforts into transforming this crippled color e-reader into the best deal out there for android tablets. I'm excited about this development but can somebody explain what it means to be CM official as opposed to unofficial? & maybe how things will change? (for the better I'm assuming)
I used to have an official CM8 ROM on my old Nexus S 4G a while back & this unofficial CM rom by verygreen runs so much better & more stable than that one did.

Hi,
I bought a Nook HD+ sometime back and have been reading up a lot about rooting and installing custom ROM' on the forum of late. I had planned to install the currently available custom ROM today, but I bumped across this thread.
Being a newbie, from what I can gather, Cyanogen would officially be supporting Nook HD+ ROM', so we can expect an official release soon. So my question is, if it's better to wait for the official CM release or go ahead and install the currently available unofficial version?
Thanks in advance.

go with unofficial, and just update as they release new builds. It will be quite a while until we will see official RC not to mention stable release...
wow this is awesome news, I made a gamble 2 weeks ago to import the nook HD+ to europe hoping that cyanogenmod would support the HD+ in the coming weeks. Now running verygreen's emmc 10.1
Great Work
This is fantastic news. I join everyone in thanking Verygreen.
I hope an official build means easier modifications when using things like autopatcher to create a tabletui. There hasn't been much of an update in a few weeks in that thread.
Awesome news! Thanks again for all your hard work, Verygreen.
Outstanding! Congrats to all involved.
This is due to verygreens hard work, and is a testament to the quality of his code. It is my understanding he will still be doing all the work for CM, but now it will be "blessed" as an official CM port instead of unofficial. The state of the port will still depend on the (excellent) work that verygreen puts into this rom.
Thanks again verygreen for making my Nook HD+ a decent tablet instead of a marginal one.
