ICS on Motorola Xoom 3G MZ 601

[darkstarz]

Hi Guys,

I've upgraded my Motorola Xoom 3G MZ601 (Australian Optus Version) with the ICS Alpha built. The reason was : "After automatic Optus update to 3.2 I lost 3G and it was not reading my SIM card". Thought Optus might have locked it. So unlocked it but still didn't work.

So, now the Alpha build of ICS works perfectly . But, still no 3G :-( .. Why ? because it's for MZ604 and a Wifi only build.

What's now? Downloading (as I'm writing) the Telstra Stock Firmware (As could not find the Optus Rom). Hoping that everything will work ..

Will let you guys know if the Telstra version is any better. sigh..

Results for :Telstra stock ROM

I have done flashing with the ROM but it's a 3.0.1 build :-( ..

Huh now it looks like my Xoom is a Telstra Build . My 3G Vodafone still dimmed. So it is not working...Rooted.. and then turned it on.. Asked if I wanted to update. Said yes. Looks like it just got stuck after entering into recovery.. So don't root it before you update .. Flashing again.


Update:

Installed Stock 3.0.1 (available from here - > mediafire.com/?l2odorielfroizv)then ran automatic update and updated to 3.1 . Running again it's updating it to 3.2 . Will update XDA if the 3G works

Ps: I will try to upload a Full Australian Motorola Xoom MZ 601 Honecomb 3.2 ROM. Can't believe that I could not find it elsewhere so had to walk in hard way.

Good luck with it!

Will be good to have a 3.2 stock build for the MZ601....

....now to wait for ICS to be made available for our model!

I got my MZ601 Optus 3G to work.

After flashing MZ601 Everest rom I then pushed my telephony settings back to the xoom (I'd archived them) - 3G is all good

I flashed the Tiamat recovery instead of the stock one & then applied the "Universal-Root.zip"

I also then flashed the Tiamat Wifi Boot.img to get the TeamEOS kernel and I have since overclocked it to 1.5oc

So yes, you can get an Optus MZ601 to work with 3G & overclock!! I'm in no way a dev and found this process pretty simple

Where can I get the telephony settings? Sorry.. just to clarify two things did you have it or got it from online? ... pushing I take it was done via recovery?

Downloading MZ601 everest.. will post the outcome..

Flashed with ICS Alpha build ..then pushing in Everest

Whilst 3G was still working (in honeycomb) I performed the following (via adb) to get a copy of my specific telephony files (Optus 3G) - so if you've got a working backup you should be able to restore then pull the files.

adb remount
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-wal settings.db-wal
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-shm settings.db-shm
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db telephony.db
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db-journal telephony.db-journal

Then after upgrading to 4.0.3 ICS I did the following through adb:

adb remount
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
adb push settings.db-wal /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-wal
adb push settings.db-shm /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-shm
adb push telephony.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
adb push telephony.db-journal /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db-journal


That got my 3G working - I was lucky to have a copy of the files - not sure what you should do without a copy?

I then fastboot flashed the Tiamat boot image from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449295 , which allowed me to overclock via SetCPU (I don't think this is recommended by the Dev's though)

Reflashing the Universal-Root via recovery is also a good idea I think: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241

Also, updating the recovery from the stock ICS one to a better one is a good idea. I did this by flashing the image from here via fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979

Once I had the better recovery I then recovery installed this (just because I like the Rogue recovery better) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170

Hope you get your Xoom sorted like I have

Just have to figure out how to see all the Market apps (I've got that "only see some apps but not all of them" problem)

Trying this - maybe you can solve your problem with market enabler


edit: seems not to work for me

Missing part :-(

adb remount
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-wal settings.db-wal
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-shm settings.db-shm
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db telephony.db
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db-journal telephony.db-journal

Looks like this is what I need. Is it safe to get it from others ? as I did not keep the backup :-( ..

I presume so(?) I'd share mine with you if I was more knowledgable about what I was sharing (and if I knew whether giving others these files exposed anythng of mine (sorry).)

[darkstarz]

What is this build file?

There is a build file floating around in XDA. IS that with the settings? Looks like something similar..

 

[iBuzman]

I can confirm that the new Rogue Kuma ICS kernel works well with the MZ601 Alpha build

I have same issue with market using Tiamat 2.2.2.... Many apps missing
Using any rom for wifi in my MZ605 3G Market works fine...
Using Tiamat 2.2.0/2.2.1 or 2.2.2 with 3G working missing many apps.
I try to use build.prop of wifi in ROM 3g not success missing many apps.

I think its a deal with Android Market and Cell phone company to force 3G owners to use original versions in your Xoom. My Xoom at first time i turn on don't login on Android without a valid SIM card on slot.

Hi
Just thought i'd add my voice. Am running ydaraishy's mz601 alpha build and the new rogue kernel and my 3g works without any modification. The only issue I am experiencing is the signal is always at full and the dictionary issue where all words seem to be spelt incorrectly. I'm even running oc now at 1.4.
I don't have any 3d games though.

Still no 3G

Anyone got a clue of what to do with this:
-Had Tiamat 2.2.2 working with 3G (Sweden, Telenor)
-Installed ICS-Alpha, No 3G
-Tried the adb pull/push trick with telepgone db's, still no 3G

If I open the available networks list I can see all available mobile networks, but if I try to choose one I only get an error message like "Your SIM card does not allow connection to this network". Same problem selecting my operator or automatic...

*Beer* for a solution!

I think the easiest solution is the ydaraishy - rom

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443220

I changed the recovery.img to the one from clockwork and installed then the google-app-pack and everything works!

Only little issue is the one ydaraishy mentioned: 3g works perfectly, but in the bar it says that I have a pretty good connection (full), which isnt true.


EDIT:

A little guide:

1) Download the file ydaraishy uploaded and extract it on your desktop.

2) Delete the recovery.img and use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170 instead.

3) Connect your Xoom to your computer with the usb-cable , and go in fastboot mode

then, install all files with the following commands:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

then,

4) Copy the latest g-apps-version on your xoom http://goo-inside.me/roms/teameos/gapps/

5) Start Recovery and install the zipfile (with the gapps) and restart again.


Have fun

That's the one I have problems with.... :-(

More info on non-working 3G

One more thing, I have baseband version N_01.83.19P

You guys who have got 3G to work, what baseband versions do you have? And could this be upgrades/downgraded somehow?

I think you're right - pretty sure the "ro.fingerprint" values in the build.prop is what is causing the Market to only show a subsection of the Marketplace apps. I'll keep looking into it and post anything I find

I'm using the Alpha build too, with the same problems with the sign of 3G, but it is working with no problems.

The main issue that I have is even after were pushed the 3 files from a Honeycomb, my GPS keeps broken.
I used GPS Test app and even the compass is not working.

Any idea about what could be wrong?

Evenmore info on 3G-issue

Now I have tried the following:
-Starting on STOCK ROM (both retail EU and AUS)
-Starting on Tiamat
-Using an unlocked SIM
-Pushed telephone settings (from a working Tiamat)
...without any luck.

Are there anyone using the Swedish operator Telenor with this ROM?
