How do I change my xoom to US version?

Hello guys,
I have a Motorola Xoom and I can't wait to get ICS. When I browse the ICS topics, I see a lot of people who changed their xoom version to US, fe from Canadian to US. I don't know wich version I have, but it's not a US version, because I still don;t have the upgrade. If someone could maybe give a short description of how to change it to US, I would be so gratefull!!!

These steps worked great for me

Just follow up to step 3 ...then just wait for the OTA updates
My xoom was the UK version... now running the oh so smooth ICS with US rom and lovin it!

Thanks! I only hope this will work for mine, since mine is probably Dutch or European and the description is for UK or Canadion Xooms. But i don't think that should be a proble. Anyway, I'm gonna try and pray that it works!

Got a problem

Don't do it
Tried this last night and confirmed that it does not work. US image does not work on a Canadian device for some reason. Tried to post details here but the thread seems to have been deleted.

I believe the method on this thread is the easiest, and you preserve root

It works fine. I did it myself a few months ago, flashing my Canadian Xoom with the US ROM, after which I was obtaining the US OTA updates. I don'T remember which procedure I used however, but I can confirm that there's a working procedure somewhere here on the forums.

I got it unlocked and every image would flash ok, apart from system.img. I really don't understand why. I followed the tutorial word for word and obviously I was doing something right or I wouldn't have been able to flash the other images.
In the end I just installed CWM and flashed Team EOS ICS from the recovery.

Worked Great and First Time on my brand new UK Wifi Xoom
Just bought a Wifi only xoom today from carphone warehouse and was a bit dubious about doing this, not wanting to brick my brand new Tablet.
I thought stuff it though, if doesn't work it can go back in the same afternoon that I bought it and I'll get a Refund (was last one in stock, due to them selling them for £249)
Anyway,
Worked a charm once I found the folder where the fast boot was hiding within the zip file.
Took a little while to do, but dead easy
The one thing I did wrong at first was not noticing that each image file had the same filename name written after FLASH and before the filename.img too
(i.e written twice on the command, must be going blind in my old age)
The longest part was going through all the updates on the xoom until finally getting ICS.
Working great now though.
Thanks guys for a great tutorial.

Are you HK or taiwan version? These problem is almost in these two version.

Were you able to convert yours? I've got a US wifi version, but my dad has a Canadian version and he wants me to convert it to a US version for him.

What happened with the system.img the screen shot seems to suggest it started? Couldn't see any error?
It takes longer to push the system.img over if I recall correctly its a much larger file ...
Edit oh, checked again and saw the fail. Odd. I can probably find and upload the system.img that I used if it would help.

Just received XT1254 with unlocked BL

I did not believe until I received it and tried flashing absolutely all firmware out there for 1225/1254/1250 without bricking it. I then moved on to my next step in plan - install any retail version firmware but Verizon. I started the experiment with 4.4.4 first and found that 1225 radio will not work in 1254 (baseband simply cannot be recognised). Then I flashed 1254 radio on top (later with boot.img as well) and this make everything work except Wifi cannot be turned on. Although I don't expect it to work, I tried 1225 5.0.2 firmware with 1254 radio and as expected it does not work.
Honestly I was hoping the 1254 radio + 1225 firmware will work in 4.4.4, which means it should work when 5.1 comes out for 1225. I tried to find related information but there weren't much, maybe due to lack of BL unlocked 1254s out there. I once read someone write about radio.img must go with boot.img but I tried that. Just wondering if any of you experts here have advices for me. Well, I am assuming my phone will not be bricked so I am brave!

@Skrilax_CZ can help you.

I know not too many would believe, until I can post the photos. Before I reach 10 posts, let me give a bit more information here - this unit was claimed to be unlocked by software, in 4.4.4 it shows UNLOCKED with status code 1, and in Lollipop it shows ENGINEERING. In both versions software version is MODIFIED instead of OFFICIAL. There are some discussion in China and it appears there are three ways to unlock - 1. engineering handset from factory, 2. officially unlocked, 3. software unlocked. The one I have is of the type 3, but as far as I can learnt from the internet, there is no major difference between type 2 and 3, if type 2 will ever exist...

Yes, I will certainly try it as soon as I received reply on the radio issue. At the moment I am still trying all I can to try to fix the Wifi cannot turn on problem in my 4.4.4 XT1254 radio + 4.4.4 XT1225 firmware combination. I honestly wouldn't mind using that for a while until I can use 5.1 XT1254 radio + 5.1 XT1225 firmware combination...
My objective is to get rid of Verizon firmware so the system is lighter and that I can have proper GSM call functions such as USSD, and tethering etc. I seem to remember that mixing firmware and radio can be done under the same Android version in the past with other Moto phones... Any suggestions or advices here would be highly appreciated.
Sorry for posting so much in a short time, I need to get to 10 posts and post the photos

BlackBerry Priv Autoloader - QC8992 AAC826

Hi everyone,
The moment you have been waiting for... A Priv OS autoloader and now a dump of the system files..
I am fairly inexperienced at XDA, but have been around BlackBerry enthusiast forums for years under the name mrfreeze.
I have made this post on CrackBerry forums too, but thought that you all might be able to help out more.
Link to CrackBerry thread: http://forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-f444/blackberry-priv-autoloader-qc8992-aac826-1049300/
*WARNING: THIS CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE WITH NO FIX AT THIS TIME.*
Only works with this device - ShopBlackBerry STV100-1 (na variant with no subvariant)
OS - AAC826
What I bring you is an OS autoloader for the BlackBerry Priv. My understanding that this is meant for the ShopBlackBerry (possibly Amazon) variant of the Priv only. It checks for has a script in the batch file checks for the variant and subvariant, if these don't match it will error. Removing the check and installing it on a non-supported Priv WILL brick the device, this has been confirmed.
This is destructible load and will wipe all data.
I know for sure it does not work on AT&T Priv STV100-1 and will brick it.
Using the fastboot.exe file I determined a few variant names.
I would like to see what subvariants are for each model. I will create a chart as we get more information.
ATT - The autoloader will not work with this model and will brick the device.
variant - na
subvariant - att
ShopBlackBerry - The autloader will work with this model.
Variant - na
Subvariant - (blank)
I haven't had much time to this point to mess around with the files, but will continue to look through them.
Mega files: https://mega.nz/#!XwwgXKSa!jW5QtNnqh90Inx676t9bE1b6TOYlUt3WqOMTKPoBC_4
BlackBerry Android Support Software (Drivers): https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=4EE0932F46276313B51570F46266A608
Holding down the power button and volume down key for 30 seconds will take you to the BlackBerry Bootloader menu.
I will continue to update OP as we learn more.
Oh and if you brick your device you are out of luck at this point. So again don't screw around with this unless you know what you are doing or have a money and time to waste.
- Mr. Freeze
Edit: I have now dumped the system files. Have fun!
Here is the link to the system files: https://mega.nz/#!z5AGyaaS!cxVwt_pSCBdTiPCb_pVhNxATV5xl1xX8_-JhCLzuoaU
P.S. Thanks Usman for help procuring this!

This file is the real deal. Please be very careful if you attempt to test loading on your Priv. IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Interested in seeing the outcome with this...

This. Be very careful.
Do not edit the batch file to skip the variant check, I figured this out the hard way.
It should work fine on a the proper variant though, which is the ShopBlackBerry unlocked devices.

Don't take this as a definitive answer that the Priv is coming to T-Mobile or Sprint, but I found their boot animations in here.
Also found Verizons, which we know is coming.
Verizon's is an animated boot image without audio. (Old Verizon logo though)
T-Mobile's is a static image and it includes the default T-Mobile ringtone.
Sprint's is an animated boot image without audio.

STV100-4 Europe ?

What do you mean?
If you're asking if this will work with that device, then the answer is no. It is only for the STV100-1 North America with a subvariant of none. Which means it is factory unlocked from ShopBlackBerry or possibly Amazon.

I have updated the OP to include a dump of all the system files.

It is something related to BB10. Basically, it's an exe that lets you manually install a version of BB10 to your Blackberry device. They are often used when a version of BB10 is leaked before the updates roll out to phones. I have used them on my Z30 before.

Thanks for your explaining! So to my understanding, an autoloader is equivalently a system image, right? What's special between this autoloader and the one already installed in a ShopBlackberry -1 variant?

Not sure if you know about it, but your phone is basically showpiece from showrooms or shops, that's the X in your version number. This kind of phones are not intended to be sold for customers.
You will never got more updates as you already have, so your only option is to flash it manually.
Bootloop problem is not dependant on software version. It doesn't matter if you have 5.1 or 6.0.

Hello,

There are something I should to know about the fact that my smartphone ROOTED evening before applying the update?
Could this affect my G4?

Sure,
We are not talking about the same thing.
Look again, and maybe twice at his version number: It's is VX10c-EUR-XX
I'm not talking about XX, but about the first "X"... see?
Sure, your device is the same as mine v20d-EUR-XX which is a retail model, but this is not the case for VX10C-EUR-XX which is unfortunately a demo model

Off you can't. You have another recovery. Use LG UP and flash it. Easier can't be. Note you will lose root and the recovery.

Go to thread about the Portugal update and download the KDZ from there. Any link from that thread is the international H815 update. Don't worry about countries and shenanigans is the same firmware for all. V20g-EUR-XX. Install LG UP on your PC. First the DLL then the program. Place the KDZ in your LG UP install directory (Crogram Files (x86)/LG Electronics/LGUP/model/8994). Put your phone in download mode. (With phone turned off press Volume UP and with it press plug in the USB cable). Click refurbished option for a complete wipe and clean flash. Before all this make a backup. You can also select upgrade option to avoid wipe but I always recommend a clean flash. Read the according threads in XDA for further information if you need.

It seems the h818p will not be updated(yet)?

@src151 thanks for the info. I didn't knew that demo phones can have the GSM module. At least I got it at a very good price
I will upgrade manually then.

Android 11 decreased my SOT by close to 2 or 2.5 hours. Wanting to flash back to Android 10 (HELP)

So I just bought a used Galaxy s10 Plus on eBay. I was getting amazing battery life and great SOT but I was forced to download Android 11 by force update and now my SOT has gone down almost 2.5 hours from when it was previously running on Android 10. I despise having to deal with these issues even though its a used phone. On the SamMobile website I found the correct PDA G975U1UES5GUD1 but I can't find the CSC code on my phone and I am afraid I will flash the wrong firmware and damage the phone.
How can I Find the CSC code on my phone? The device is been used on Verizon prepaid via Red Pocket Mobile and its Factory GSM and CDMA unlocked. I would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thank you so much in advance.

So I just bought a used Galaxy s10 Plus on eBay. I was getting amazing battery life and great SOT but I was forced to download Android 11 by force update and now my SOT has gone down almost 2.5 hours from when it was previously running on Android 10. I despise having to deal with these issues even though its a used phone. On the SamMobile website I found the correct PDA G975U1UES5GUD1 but I can't find the CSC code on my phone and I am afraid I will flash the wrong firmware and damage the phone.
How can I Find the CSC code on my phone? The device is been used on Verizon prepaid via Red Pocket Mobile and its Factory GSM and CDMA unlocked. I would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thank you so much in advance.

You won't damage your phone if they mismatch, probably only carrier settings would break

But the link I gave according to that you are having Verizon as the carrier and you are living in the US when you got force OTA update then it’ll match.

That's if you can go back.
Doesn't 11 update the boot loader version too?

Well yeah now that you mention it probably.

Hmm, but there should be a way of degrading the software even so.

If he uses Odin he can downgrade fine enough,
Unfortunately, I think he'll lose his data though.
I haven't downgraded from One UI 3.0 before since I only got a A21s.

I'm still running Pie. It's what I've been seeing here about the 11 update updating the boot loader too. Maybe that's OTA upgrades only.
Not a concern of mine though.
Data loss is a given... at least be prepared for it.

Yeah, I agree since I'm still running 10 Idk really about bootloader changes from 10-11.
But if that's the case then Its probably impossible to downgrade without getting a bricked phone.

Doublecheck the bootloader version code of both versions of android so you don't brick your phone.

This is starting to sound too risky I do appreciate everyones help on this post honestly but at this point I am not going to risk messing up a $330 phone. But thank you all for making things clear.

Well, you can wait for the fix then. Maybe Samsung will release a fix to solve that issue

Yeah hopefully thank you for your help tho. Appreciate it.

No problem, but if the kernel hasn't changed the ROM can be downgraded. If it has you can just take it to Samsung and ask them to downgrade for you.
My friend did that.
