[DEV] System images AU HC 3.1 - Euro flashable [Updated 07/13/2011]

[lowtraxx]

Disclaimer:

These images are mainly provided for Developers to experiment with, if you flash them you do his on your own accord and abide to the following rules:

!!!IF YOU DO FLASH THEM AGAINST MY ADVICE - DO NOT FLASH THEM WITH FASTBOOT!!!
Use the Nandroid.md5 from here, copy them and the md5 file to you sdcard and use Nandroid recovery to flash them.

- You have to wipe before using these images
- Make Backups before using this images. I am not responsible if they brick your device, kill your cat or start World War 3!
- AGAIN: You should not flash this images directly yet, as this is untested and you will loose root.


Update 4: If you have MD5 mismatches, follow the instructions here and download his MD5 file. After that you should not get any more MD5 mismatches. Also if you got a missing SD-Card after pushing the build.prop.frankenrom then change

ro.build.characteristics=tablet,nosdcard

to

ro.build.characteristics=tablet

That should fix it

Update 3: Seems like you do not need (some users even point out that you shouldn't as it caused them FCs) to copy the ressources as described in the last update, if you use the AU-Images. You can add you APN manually and it seems to work just fine. You should copy the build.prop, if you want to use regional features of your device, as I think that market and other apps pull information out of it.

Update 2: Thanks to Simba90 there is now a complete set of working instructions to get the AU images on your XOOM with Nandroid. Read here

Update: So I erased my XOOM again to bring you instructions
Make a new directory on your sdacrd for a new Recovery

/clockworkmod/backup/2011-07-09.22.22.22

Copy the images and the MD5 file into this directory.
Start into CWM go to Backup and Restore -> Advanced Restore and restore the partitions from the created directory. Then boot into fastboot and apply the rooted boot.img from here
Now you have a rooted AU XOOM. I have it working with O2 Germany here, but only after applying my instructions from here because the AU images are missing the right settings and telephony Databases as well as our beloved frankenrom build.prop. After doing that all I copied the Books app from the Tiamat 1.1 Rom to /system/app and it works out of the box, so there is no need for using the US 3.1 anymore. I will update my thread accordingly.
/Update


Hi,

I took the plunge and relocked my XOOM after applying the Australian System images from the Motorola Dev Site to it, then I updated to 3.1 with System Update, unlocked, applied the CWM Recovery and made a Nandroid Backup. So here go the pristine System images (boot.img system.img and data.img).

Download here

I would not recommend doing my procedure for anyone not keen on updating his/her Bootloader, because it is updated if you do an OTA Update. Instead try the provided images but remember to make a Nandroid Backup beforehand. I have tried the images on my Euro XOOM and they worked flawlessly. I hope they help further Development. I for my part will try to integrate them into my EU/US-Frankenrom.

So have fun now, let the hacking begin.

So does the Australian Xoom use the same GSM 3G that the euro versions do?

Thanks.

 

[lowtraxx]

Seems it does, my 3G Connection was working with no Problems, but I can not say definitely that everything works, because I used it just for a few hours now, as I wanted to share it as soon as possible that users can start to hack around with it.

If it updates the bootloader, is it possible to go back to stock and re-root?

 

[lowtraxx]

Yes it is possible to go back to stock and ReRoot, because you still can OEM Unlock and use Nandroid to recover and get your Root back. But I do not kow if the EURO and AU Bootloader differ.

Don't know if this relates but Telstra uses the 850mhz 3G frequency, same as the US whereas the other Aussie telcos use the same as Europe does (900mhz).

Been using your original post since day one for 3.1 on my euro xoom. Does this now mean you will be able to sort out the dropping 3g and incorrect signal bars now.

Cheers

Just thinking actually would you be able to modify this new aus 3.1 to be CWM flashable.

Thanks

 

[jim_panse]

Is this the official AU 3.1 Update? When did they get it?

 

[lowtraxx]

Yes this is the actual Update, they started rolling it out yesterday.

It is already CWM flashable, you have to create a new nandroid-backup folder on your SdCard copy the images and the md5 into it, then you have to wipe and with advanced recovery you can flash every one of the partitions back.

 

[jim_panse]

Then i hope that it will come for the EU Retail Version soon!

Hi,

follow the instructions here or download the md5 file there. If you do that, you should not get any MD5 Mismatches.

same here ...

 

[lowtraxx]

same here ...

in the build.prop change

ro.build.characteristics=tablet,nosdcard

to

ro.build.characteristics=tablet

That should fix it

Thanks, but this change doesn't fix the access to the sdcard.
I can't see the sdcard in Settings|storage, and ES Datei Manager too.
