Xoom WiFi System Dump 3.0.1

Click HERE
Working on trying to get some deodex love going...
Just got Xoom WiFi tonight, let me know what I can do to help out the xoom wifi community.

I am curious. How were you able to extract the stock system dump image for the wifi version? Could you put down instructions since I am trying to learn these things.

Just a quick heads up. Moto was handing out DMCA notices on sysdumps. You may wanna save it for those who make it to #xoom on freenode.

1. one click root and unroot
2. safe way to over clock
3. a way to relock the xoom and bring to factory default
4. overclocikng
5. voodoo color fix
6. voodoo sound fix
lets start with that

Install latest moto drivers
Install Android SDK
Enable USB Debug in Xoom settings
Open command prompt
Create new directory
CD to new directory
At command prompt type: adb pull /
files will be dumped to current path of command prompt

I Got the one (well, couple a clicks) root and unroot covered. You can check that one off the list. Thread open over yonder if you want to give it a spin... I am just uploading the newest version that one click updates to HRI66.

1 is being worked on...NVM...Check out jwtyler one click root thread.
2 & 4 Going to try the same method that was used for Droid2 and DroidX. Create module for OC. I have not had time yet to look at kernel but I see someone is already creating kernels so should be able to do it from kernel with multiple settings; not sure if kernel behaves same way as it does in Droid.
3 Not sure if bootstrap (clockwork recovery) is available yet for Xoom WiFi but if it is just make a backup before you mod anything.
Not sure what you are talking about with 5 and 6 ... I am a Xoom noob, only been out of box for a couple of hours

Sweet
Drop me a line if you want to try to bang out some stuff together...

Thanks Angdroid for the system dump. I downloaded a copy of the system dump for kicks. I will keep it on my hard drive in case anyone loses it and needs a backup copy.
Hopefully we can create a stock boot.img soon for us wifi owners in case something goes wrong or need to return it to factory state. It looks like from the system dump we have access to the stock bcm4329.ko wifi driver.

I am not a developer. I just meant a community as a whole come up with the files for the stock boot.img.
Still no word from Motorola of providing the stock boot.img for the wifi Xoom.

Do you think it's possible to extract languages in Wifi firmware to flash 3g xoom?
Or flash with entire wifi firmware?

I don't think the adb pull way is the best way at it.
Creating an actual image using dd will retain symlinks and mod perms (not owners).. but it also won't dump a bunch of tiny >1kb files on your computer (whose cluster size may be over 4kb).. plus you can mount it as a loop device..
adb shell
# busybox dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/system of=/mnt/sdcard/system.img
and then if you want
adb pull /mnt/sdcard/system.img
but I wouldn't.. just using the mtp interface is faster..

What do you mean? are you talking about the ./system/vendor/firmware/fw_bcm4329.bin
I just compared the two system images for both devices
fw_bcm4329_mfg.bin is the only file with a matching checksum..
I gotta run.. otherwise i'd check the version with a hex editor..
I doubt you're talking about the wifi firmware anyways..

Note, you need to be able to mount a YAFS2 filesystem to read the contents.

can someone post the 3.1 wifi-model USA system
(i need build.prop)

Got Sky go working on Tablet Z

Not sure if this is of interest to anyone but I managed to get Sky go working by side loading the apk and making one change to the build.prop.
change the following in build.prop
ro.product.model=SGP312
to
ro.product.model=C6603
You will also need to temporarily unroot device while using Sky go (You can remove and restore root without restarting tablet).
I used hide my root to hide the su binary and then uninstalled superuser.

Any chance of uploading an APK for those of us not so good at tweaking buildprops?

No idea how to make an apk I'm afraid but I could upload an update zip if you're running a recovery?

Cheers dude! Going to try tomorrow. Only issue is the damned account being locked to 2 devices now. I miss when it was 4 for free!
Wait a sec...what are the 2 zips for?

The sky go zip replaces the build.prop with a sky friendly version, the other zip puts the original build.prop back in place. You'll need a recovery to use the zips.
Btw the build.props the zips are based on are from a SGP312

[Need Help] Bootloop after changing font {Solved}

Grrr I going to cry
Ok guys so i change the font using an app and after reboot the device get stuck at bootanimation.
The problem is that i can't have acces to system partition so i'm afraid my mojo is softbrick....
i try to update the device using fastboot command (c:/sdk/fastboot update c:/mojo.zip) but i got the "waiting for device" even when it is pluged
Do you have any idea of what i can do to revert the android ttf to stock ??
[Edit] Ok i have to thanks again Paul OBrien for his root method because i simply edit is own boot.img by adding in the superboot folder the stock font and addind line to the script to put it in the right folder and set correct permissions. I go into fastboot, flash reboot and it's finaly repair
AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH AH

[Edit] i think if someone could make a system.img with just the stock font in it or the stock system.img i should probably able to flash it

Idk. Maybe try rooting it and see if you can get it to boot. It's very easy to root if you haven't done so already.

I know reading in one of the other threads in the mojo general forum that someone took theirs apart and there is 3 buttons inside. You might see if you can locate that thread on how to disassemble it and try holding down on a button while plugging it in. There is no known documentation on what they do but if your bricked what could it hurt.

I think rooting it voids the warranty?? which is why I don't get how MC can advertise instructions on their website.
You should raise a support request with them on their site.
Hopefully kitkat is around soon.
Good luck!

We've decided to take an open stance on rooting - it's your box to do with as you wish. Of course the obvious caveats apply that you run the risk of causing boot issues, as Dead-neM has found!
Dead-neM in the interests of sharing, could you detail exactly what changes you made to the script and exactly what you did so it's explicitly spelled out for anyone else who runs into the same issue?

Yeah, how do you mount the superboot.img and modify the contents?

Ok this what i have do exactly hope it can be helpfull so:
1/ Have cygwin + Android kitchen tool on your pc ( This software is use to decompile the boot.img and it can be find into xda forum ) So open it decompile the boot.img of Paul Obrien MmM3 ( Kitchen can't decompile boot if it have not system.img too so i decompile first the 110ww official zip rom and replace the boot img by the Paul Obrien's )
2/Go onto the folder of the decompile Boot.img : So open /boot.img-ramdisk/superboot/ there is a superboot.sh script open it
You can see all command. What you have to do is to put yours before the 3 last line ( mount -o ro, remount -t ext4 ........)
I type { cat /superboot/Clockopia.ttf>/system/fonts/Clockopia.ttf
cat /superboot/Roboto-Regular.ttf>/system/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf
chmod 777 /system/fonts/clockopia.ttf
chmod 777 /system/fonts/Roboto-Regular }
cat is used to move file and chmod to set permission
3/ Now i said to the boot img to replace file and set permission to it i need to put the file into the boot.img folder so i just copy the Clockopia and Roboto font into superboot folder
4/Now you can recompile the boot img using kitchen then flash it using Paul Obrien script
Enjoy i think you can put gapps with this method so if there is a courageous one here your welcome !!

After reading a lot...yes!
I managed to conect mojo to a tv and a laptop to the mojo. Then i turn on mojo in flastboot and using the commsnds that a copy from the superboot.bat. i boot the mojo in twrp recovery and from there i flash the mojo rom.
And i recover the mojo just as i left it before the problem
I wish this helps someone.

re-compiled power.shamu.so to re-enable double tap to wake. (no root required)

This solution works for anyone that doesn't want to root their device.
however required a unlocked boot loader.
you can use TWRP file manager to replace below files. (hence not needing root).
(or someone can kindly create a flashable)
I have recomplied the power.shamu.so (replacing the missing codes from https://android.googlesource.com/device/moto/shamu/+/2084f7d0cf50baf394759d175bc28ad80cf7cace^!/ )
What this does is also re-enable the double-tap to wake.
to use,
backup a copy of
/system/lib/hw/power.shamu.so
then copy the attached power.shamu.so to /system/lib/hw/
change the permission of power.shamu.so to 0644
then boot your device. volia... you now have double tap to wake again.
Note. this has been tested with my own nexus 6.

Thanks. I think this would be better in themes n apps section though.

Thank you Sir! I'm going to remove the app and try this on Elix-R!
EDIT: Works great! Thank you again.

Which permissions are 0644?

Thanks that's what I thought I just wanted to make sure

Can I just flash the zip file that's in the beginning of the thread? Also would I need to re-install after wiping and flashing different roms or will it stay?
Figured it out.

nice, although no root required makes no sense considering you have to copy and paste this to /system that requires root... or am i missing something?

You can do it from recovery which has system access even if the ROM doesnt have root privileges.
What I am wondering though is if you can use fastboot to simply boot recovery without flashing it, and would you be able to do that command without unlocking the bootloader? Or does booting a custom system file require it to be unlocked?

Idea is just like rooting.
You need to some how replace the power.shamu.so once, and thats it.
Some people dont like phones to be rooted, as some software are really particular with root such as 'good for ent' or banking app. Idea is so that these people can still have doible tap to wake.
Hence you require a unlocked boot loader.
Eg, i guess i can also repack the file to a flashable zip, then user can just flash from recovery.
Note, i found that your tap needs to be quite consistant (can't be too fast or slow. There is a specific window)

Don't think there is such feature. One you Mentioned is ambient display which I choose to switch off. As I believe it might detect lots of false pick up.

DPI setting help

Hey guys was just wondering if anyone can post a video with a changed DPI? I'm not routes and I heard it can be done without root but wanted to see what it looks like first would really appreciate it

Not sure where you heard it can be done without root. Because it simply can't. Without root you cannot modify system files.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

It can be done without root but needs to be done using ADB on a PC.
On your PC while the phone is connected:
ADB shell
WM density 480 (or whatever you want for your device)
Restart your device to complete.

Just try it. U can easily go back to default. But i promise, u dont want :b

I am rooted on my Nexus 6P, although I cannot get it to change the dpi settings.
I tried using texdroider_dpi, tried the adb method and even went to /system/build.prop and changed it via ES File Explorer.
When I set the DPI to anything but 560 my SwiftKey Keyboard breaks but the overall screen density doesn't change.
The value I entered is still displayed in the build.prop though ..
I had it changed already, but when I updated to the latest security patch 2016 I had to reinstall my phone since I flamingod something I guess.
Went ahead with Heisenbergs guide and followed Step 11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928) to get my phone back to work. Only thing not working now is the dpi change ..
Any help?

Are you mounting system as R/W and saving the build.prop after you change the value?

I didn't specifially mount the system as R/W - but when I restart the device afterwards the change is still persistent.

Try using another File Explorer (Fx with the root add-on for example) and make the change with that one mounting as R/W before doing anything else.

I do this but my Swiftkey is broken and some image elements are huge.
Does anyone know why something like texdroider used to work perfectly scaling everything and now it does not?
Before this update, after flashing the SuperSU 2.66 my twrp would give me the warning my phone was not rooted. Now, I do not receive this warning.
