Which ROM?

[Quantumstate]

I guess you have to choose between the devil and a hard place with TeamEOS JellyBean ROMS. I have a Verizon 3G Xoom, and it seems I can choose between wifi or 4G or Euro 3G. Well I would like to have wifi and Verizon 3G, but it doesn't seem possible.

Going to TeamEOS's site I follow links to the roms themselves, but there is no indication of how to decode the secret name of my device.

Amazingly there is no explanation in the OPs for these ROMs.
And IRC is dead.

I didn't understand well your question, but I will put here the name of all devices:
Wingray - Wifi only Xoom (Grey back)
Stingray - Verizon Xoom (If I'm not wrong black back)
Everest - Europe 3G Xoom (White/Silver back)

It looks like your is a MZ600, that was called Stingray before the 4g update, I'm not sure if you can flash the 4g ROM as you're on 3g, but you can try and tell if worked or not, if it doesn't work flash back another ROM

Good luck

Thank you. I was being a bit sarcastic, in my frustration.

So Stingray will allow wifi -and- 3g to work on the US Verizon Xoom? It appears that Stingray is only for 4G?

Looks like I can't go back, as stingray_cdma no longer exists.

Is there anything that doesn't work with this ROM? wifi teathering?

Well, sorry but that I don't know... I have a MZ605 which is the same as MZ601, and have no idea about the stingray... Why don't you find someone with the same device and ask this person

That person does not exist. I've looked everywhere, including #xoom and #teameos on IRC.

None of the recoveries work, so I can't even get to a ROM.

It seems this device is dead.

(silly questions ahead)
You are rooted right? What recoveries did you try to install? TWRP? Rogue?
Where/when did you get the xoom? Are you using the 3g?
It isn't a xyboard right?

 

[Quantumstate]

NO I am not rooted. All the xoomroot.zip's have been removed from the internet.

NO I do not have any recovery installed, because laying them down has no effect. Boot into recovery and it's the dead android. I've tried three of them. (solarnz, Steady, dreamcwii)

My son gave me the Xoom, and I don't know how long he's had it. I am not using the 3G, but if I sell it I'd like to at least have it available.

No it is not an xyboard. It is a 600.

Why won't this help you??

That is XxLordxX's One stop shop tool for the xoom. It unlocks and relocks the bootloader, It root's, unroots.. etc. etc.

If you aren't using the 3g, you CAN just flash a wifi ROM, and it will work. You would need the original image or a ROM that supports 3g to restore it. If you unlocked and rooted, then installed a recovery, and performed a backup of your xoom on the stock ROM before changing it... you would be fine if you wanted to sell it. Restore the original stock image then unroot and relock the bootloader.

If Lord's tool helps you, be sure to hit his thanks button

Yes tried that too. (Linux) Ran his RunThisOnce tool, and all files disappeared. Examined the script and it's supposed to put them in ~/LAIOT, but unfortunately it does not. When I manually move the directory, most of its subdirs are empty, and there's no clue where to start. Tried LAIOT, but it is nowhere in the run path.

So at this point you are just looking for the universal root zip so you can try it manually?

 

[Quantumstate]

That would help.

But I can not understand why installing any CWM recovery does not work. This is simply a show stopper.

If you thank me, make sure you thank solarnz, it's his work, I just happened to have it lying around. If you aren't rooted, you aren't gonna get a CWM to stick, and bootloader unlocked as well.

 

[Quantumstate]

Thanks but no idea what to do with that. I don't have CWM so can't install it that way. It won't work with adb or fastboot. No idea what version it is, or whether it will work with current ROMs.

This is the way things have gone here.

The root worked with any update for sure through ICS, I doubt you are on jellybean and it would probably work on that. If you didn't have the zip itself before, how do you know it doesn't work with adb?

This is the perspective thread that I originally got the zip file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241

Anyways, Good luck, I will leave the zip in dropbox for another day or two in case you change your mind

 

[Quantumstate]

I am -sure- I am not on jellybean, because I have not been able to flash it. None of the recoveries actually flash to the tablet, so there is of course no way I can use it to run JB.
