[KERNEL - AOSP][HC3.1][UPDATE 6/2]Tiamat Xoom 1.4.4 "Full Throttle Baby @1.7Ghz"

[ClydeB1]

Kernel 1.4.1 released

Updated kernel released, download link in post#1. No changelog released as yet and also no idea if the bugs from 1.4.0 have been resolved or if mass storage has been removed again. Will update as soon as I know.

Edit: Still waiting for Changelog, but BRD confirmed that Mass Storage has been removed.

It's running pretty good, OC'd to 1.2 set to performance.

I did the one click root. System shows Tiamat v1.3.0. Please help. I cannot figure oot how to set up SD card. How do I update to new versions. Will this wipe my device? Never rooted anything before a couple of days ago

Since you're already rooted just get Kernel Manager from the market and update to the latest one, no sdcard required.

Or install clockworkmod recovery from rom manager and install the kernel zip through rom manager.

I've heard that Kernel Manager is currently down.

@ bworley50, CWM is really simple and quick to use. For 1.4.1 (which no longer has the mass storage tweaks included) just create an sdcard2 folder inside the Xoom's virtual sd card. The actual external micro sd card will use the sdcard2 folder for its files. Also, updating the kernel via CWM (or Kernel Manager) won't wipe your device.

You can install the zip from the internal media (regular sdcard folder) from kernel manager as well.

Just flashed the update with clocwork. No issues and running great last hour or so.

I apologize, but other than using Kernel Manager Pro, I have no idea what you all are talking about. I installed Kernel Manager Pro, found the kernel and hit flash and update. Nothing happened. I have no idea how to mess around with anything related to the SD card. I don't know what clockwork mod is. I know you probably think I'm an idiot, but I really don't know what to do.

I've been out of the loop for awhile and am still on tiamat 1.3.2 with my external still in sdcard2. For awhile it said after 1.4.0 installation i would delete sdcard2 as it would move to ?external ?folder and do the scripter jazz etc.

Are we saying that now if I flash the newest version my external storage will remain in sdcard2?

Thanks in advance..

I also skipped out on the 1.4.0 update due to the instability issues being experienced by some. I updated directly from 1.3.2 to 1.4.1 and just left my sdcard2 folder in place and all is working fine.

If you are really not comfortable doing the following, you should wait until another solution is made available. I take no responsibility if the advice below doesn't work out, so understand it is at your own risk.

First you will need to install the Android SDK Tools ( you can use the following link courtesy of thefredelement IIRC - http://forum.androidcentral.com/att...nlocking-rooting-returning-stock-sdktools.zip and extract them to your pc - it contains all the files needed to run ADB and Fastboot.) Then download CWM - http://www.bigrushmods.com/xoom/recoveryz/recovery_3_0_2_8.img

Extract the CWM file to the same folder as the SDK tools above, rename it to recovery.img, then on your pc open your command prompt window. It's easiest if you go to the SDK Tools folder where the files are and then go up one level, then Shift+Right click on folder name and select "Open command window here" - this will open the command prompt screen in the correct directory. Then type in the following commands (type very carefully 1 line at a time, pressing enter after each line waiting for the command to execute):

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

After the Xoom reboots, type the following command:

adb reboot recovery

You will now be in CWM. Press the volume down button to highlight functions and press the power button to perform the highlighted function.

Do the following:

1. Go into "mounts and storage"
2. Select "mount USB storage"
3. Your SD Card will now show up as mounted on your computer. Copy the kernel zip file onto SD Card.
4. "Go Back" then go into "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard"
5. Navigate to the zip file copied in step 3 and select it and choose Yes to install. It will now flash.
6. Once completed, "Go back" out to main menu and reboot.

I downloaded Android SDK tools and extracted it on my desktop. I then downloaded CWM file. I appreciate your help, but please remember I have NO IDEA what to do. Seriously reading your instructions makes no sense to me. That's my problem, I know. After I downloaded CWM, do I simply drag it into the Android SDK tools folder? Then rename the folder? When do I connect the Xoom via USB? Do I need to select USB debugging? When you say G into mounts and storage, is that on my PC or the Xoom?

says starting fastboot protocol suppoert on my xoom. Anyone??? Please??? Help

Perhaps it's best that you don't do it then as I don't want to help[ you to brick your very expensive device.

But, in answer to your questions, drag the recovery_3_0_2_8.img file from the CWM download to the SDK folder and rename the CWM file to recovery.img. Your Xoom must be connected to your pc when you run the ADB commands on your pc and yes, USB debugging needs to be selected. The second set of commands after flashing CWM is done on your Xoom, ie the Go to "mounts and storage" etc.

As I say however, if you don't understand what you are doing then it's best not to try it until you can understand the steps involved as even experienced users have bricked their devices by making silly errors with the ADB commands and I don't want to be responsible for yours following the same path.

That should be after entering the first line of the ADB commands, enter the next command (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) and the recovery.img file should be installed.

 

[bworley50]

where do you find mounts and storage? How do I get it off of starting fastboot protocol support?

 

[bworley50]

I'm not going to blame you if I brick this thing. You're trying to help and I appreciate it.

computer not recognizing xoom. can i start over?

Mounts and Storage is one of the functions within CWM Recovery.

What steps have you performed so far?

 

[bworley50]

I'm not sure. Xoom on, says :

Fastboot
Starting Fastboot Protocol Support

My computer is not recognizing Xoom on control panel. I have pics, but can"t figure out how to post the pics.
