ICS on Motorola Xoom 3G MZ 601

[v8cj7]

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

Runs better than the EOS rom, but still struggle with 3G.
Providers can be seen, e.g. Vodafone, but the Code for the SIM PIN usually being asked for. This does not happen.
Is there something to reactivate that. This might be the remaining problem connecting to 3G !

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?

Now after struggling with the 3G my GPS also broke down. Even after changing back to stock and then to Tiamat it doesn't work.

Starting to get really pi**ed......

 

[Oebo]

Solved gps!

What I did:
-Installed Gapps for ICS (ion HC, crazy I know, maybe not necessary)
-Installed Gapps for HC (http://nookdevs.com/Honeycomb_Google_Apps_and_Market)

Yabbadabba, all Gapps and GPS working

ICS & 3G working here

Like some others, I've updated to ydaraishy's mz601 alpha build and the new rogue kernel.

All seems to be working fine. I'm mainly using wifi around home, but did test 3G before setting up the wifi to ensure it was working.

Early days, but 'feels' much nicer than honeycomb

No problems here with a Telstra SIM - mind you, I have PIN turned off on this SIM

I have same issue with market using Tiamat 2.2.2.... Many apps missing

Is the market problem just that the missing apps aren't supported on ICS?

Logging in to market.android.com via a web browser shows apps like Quick Office aren't supported on ICS.

 

[DragonEarth]

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 think build.prop is not the top of problem, if i replace build.prop to wifi build.prop market stay identifed my Xoom 3G. If i just reflash with Tiamat 2.3.0 all market work nice.

With 3G chip on Xoom I see "MZ601 Claro" in My Devices on market.android.com.
With Tiamat 2.3.0 just apear "Xoom" in My Devices on market.android.com.

No 3G.. but no worries

Hopefully it's about time that the original ics will land ..

By the way Does Anyone have the original Optus Honecomb ROM (3.1/3.2/3.0.1 anything) ?

I think I should push that in first and then start again.

Your help would be highly appreciated. Cheers.

3G on MZ601

I have spent most of the last two days working through the problems with this and have finally a working 3G in ICS for Euro Xooms.

I cannot offer any guarantees that this will work for everyone but at worst nothing should change, i.e. no working 3G.

Assuming you have working 3G and an unlocked and rooted Xoom running Honeycomb 3.2 or 3.1 although I have no experience with 3.1 and this problem, I will assume that things haven't changed that much.

You need to pull the telephony files, excluding build.prop from your Xoom


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


Once this is done install your Preferred ICS using the appropriate instructions.

After this is done you should have a working ICS installation but with no 3G


Now you need to push back the telephony files you copied from your Honeycomb installation..

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


Reboot your Xoom, select the correct APN from the list under settings/wireless/Mobile network/access point names.

Use network operators in the same menu to register on the network and hopefully you will have a 3G data connection.

All of this presupposes you have either not installed ICS and still have Honeycomb on your Xoom or Can restore your Xoom to Honeycomb from a backup you made before installing ICS...

This information was gleaned from various places within XDA forums. Particularly:

how do you want me to push the telephony settings?

I do not have any settings to push ... not sure how can I get it.. I did not pulled it at the beginning..

Ok. I have tested your case. And here is the solution

1) find someone who has MZ601 rooted device of your friends with working 3G. Call it Device2 while yours is Device1
2) on Device2, through Recovery, take a full backup.
3) from Device2, pull out this backup and transfer it to Device1 internal SD card CWM Recovery DIR.
4) on Device1, reboot into recovery, and perform advanced restore, and restore system.

Hope this works out with you.

Official ics has been released for asia right?

Official ics has been released for asia right?

In Europe there was an OTA upgrade for Xoom 3g+wifi few weeks ago. up to 4.0.4

 

[jane999]

Wow, thanks so much for this info! I used the latest EOS nightly and still I had no 3G. After reading your post, I checked my APNs and it turned out I didn't have the correct 3G APN. For some reason, I had only wap and mms APNs (even though I have a Xoom and not phone) and no internet APN. After setting up a new APN with the correct settings I finally have 3G. After more than a week without 3G. Thank you once again!
