[Question] Motorola Xoom Australian (Telstra) Root Process

[gekrem]

Hi All,

I would like to know if there is a method to root/unlock the Australian version of the Motorola Xoom (Telstra branded).

Details listed here:

Model Number: MZ601
Android Version: 3.0.1
Firmware: GAS_ASIA_USAEVRSTUTELSAU_PO21
Baseband: N_01.83.28P
Baseband Config: UCAEVEUB1B8EU034.0R
Kernel: 2.6.36.3
Build Number: H6.1-38-9

Thanks all. I absolutely love this devices but I need super powers to enjoy it just like my Desire HD.

Use the same process for the EU UK Xoom, which is also an MZ601.

Hi

I did this today with mine, following these guides in the following order, the first one roots the 3.0.1 install our xooms shipped with, and the second one handles the upgrade to 3.1 and rooting on 3.1

Upgrading to 3.1 and keeping 3g ??

Has anyone with a Telstra Xoom upgraded to 3.1 and kept 3g??
I have rooted my stock xoom now want to enable the SD and upgrade to 3.1 but would like to have a functioning 3g
I am having trouble finding the guide to enabling the sdcard. I have installed clockworkmod but it is useless without the sdcard ???

Help need ..... I am wondering if anyone out there are able to send me the files to enable 3g on Telstra as described in this post.
My situation is a follows. I have an Australian Telstra xoom and tried one of the 1 click root programs. After much pain and research I now realise 2 things. 1/ this completely stuffed by device, it now hangs at the logo on boot. 2/ even if it did work it is for US networks only. I have worked my way through the posts and have managed to recover the device by fastbooting with the euro boot.img described in this post. Problem is no 3g. This post provides a description of how to extract the Telstra 3g files for the device before it gets trashed. I did not do this. So I am assuming I now need to source these files from someone who has a working Telstra xoom.

Can anyone out these assist......

I Have the same problem! i tried to root my telstra xoom and got bricked.
I then flashed the german images.

I have now updated to HC 3.1, from the german rom to the us one, (i used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089695) hoping that it may fix the carrier probs, to no avail.

I can see the telstra network (as well as vodafone etc.) but the xoom doesnt connect to it, and if i try to manually pick the network, it says "registered on network" but i still dont have network access

Edit: Would someone be able to upload the files from their working telstra xoom, so that we can push them to ours in a last ditch effort?

Frustrating isn't it... I think if we can get someone to rip the telstra comms (as described in the original post) files off a working AUS Telstra Xoom we may be ok. This is a bit of a guess but worth a try?

yes have a look at the thread suggested above as I have been the one posting to that and the files have fixed my 3g problems. Now connected to telstra no probs.

See my recent post on that thread as I still have a remaining problem with wifi.

Hi all, I also have a Telstra Xoom (MZ601).

I have already upgraded to 3.1 and the Tiamat deodexed ROM 1.0, but before I did that I made a nandroid backup of the original images.

Like most people, I do not have 3G data capability, but I can apparently make and receive phone calls, so it is sort of working.

I have the original build.prop and other images; would they help?
