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

[ClydeB1]

New Kernel released: - Updated for HC3.1
Thanks to BRD @xda for these amazing kernels.

If you're updating from 1.4.2 or 1.4.3 and have already flashed an appropriate boot image, you can just flash the new kernel. If you're coming from an earlier version you need to follow the full installation requirements below.

NOTE: These instruction assume you have flashed ClockworkMod Recovery and upgraded to Honeycomb 3.1!

Preparation

How to Install
Tiamat Xoom Kernel Boot Images For Honeycomb 3.1 ONLY
Be sure to flash your boot image first! Then flash your kernel (see detailed instructions below). You can flash the boot image and kernel back-to-back in the same recovery session. Don't worry. If you mess up and flash just these boot images, your device will still boot.

Instruction for flashing Tiamat Xoom
NOTE: These instruction assume you have flashed ClockworkMod Recovery and have updated to HC3.1
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Go into "mounts and storage"
3. Select "mount USB storage"
4. Your SD Card will now be mounted on your computer. Drop the kernel (and boot image pack if applicable) onto SD Card.
5. "Go Back" then go into "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard"
6. If you are flashing a boot image pack, flash it first. Then flash the kernel zip.
7. Back out to main menu and reboot.

Release Notes for 1.4.4 from BRD:
1.7Ghz is likely as far as we can push the Tegra2 cores. We have stress tested the heck out of 1.7 and it is safe. However, safe does not mean stable. BRD can run 1.7 on Interactive governor all day and it's smooth as butter. Other folks get reboots. If you can not run at 1.7, try 1.6. Everybody who tested was able to run at 1.504 without any problems. Just because this release is clocked to 1.7, that does not mean you can not run at stock speeds. Simply do not overclock. The settings for 1Ghz are identical to stock settings. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you leave your device on INTERACTIVE. You may use Performance solely for benchmarking purposes, but then PUT IT BACK.

USB Tether: Plug OTG cable into Xoom. Plug phone with microUSB cable into OTG cable. On phone, enable USB Tether. On Xoom, run the following in terminal or script manager (Scripter, GScript, Tasker) of your choice.

dhcpcd usb1
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

The Xoom will not show any indication that there is a network connection. But pull up your browser and surf away. Like I said earlier, I tested this personally on the Evo with a Sense rom. It works perfect. However, there are countless devices out there. Your experience may vary.

Changelog:

Wow. Thanks for passing along. I wonder if this can be used in conjunction with the USB hack.

From what I gathered the Asus solution is not ideal, but at this point I'll take it!

 

[ClydeB1]

Agreed. We'll have to wait and see the Change Log for the new kernel. Hopefully it still includes the Roebeet USB host hack as well.

Edit: Confirmed the Roebeet USB Hosting hack is included in the kernel and still works.

Thanks for that, didn't want post in Hacking though until the actual kernel had been posted .

I'll update links in post #1.

Edit: If a mod want's to move it to Hacking now that'll be great

 

[NewAge]

Awesomeness! I have had bad luck with the Tiamat kernal but I have a bit of free time to test her out. Unfortunately my problems were random reboots about every 6 hours of use. So it can take awhile to get the reboots. Hopefully this is fixed.

Edit: Took me 13 minutes to get to the website, download and replace the files, do the adb commands and I lost no data! Back up and will give it a couple days to see if the reboot issue for me was solved. Props to the guys at XDA.

Edit 2: SD card works great as does micro USB and Overclock! My charging light now comes on when plugged in and on. Before it only came on when the device was off.

An added little bonus

And although there were some quirks with Jrummy OC app I finally got it working.

The ondemand governer is broke. Lag and horrible browser until I switched to interactive. Much better result and a huge increase in quadrant and a little in linpack.

Edit: Got a reboot at 1504 ghz. Dropped it to 1400 and seems actually faster. I'll give it another 48 hours but it better not reboot again. I wish quickclock supported Xoom.

Hit the thread stickied at the stop of this forum.

Are you 3g or wifi? This is for 3g.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/xoo...rs-sdk-unlocking-rooting-returning-stock.html

This is best easiest step by step. Any probs let us know.

 

[Beezzy]

I'm on wifi (I just tether) so I can't use this kernal on my version?

And I just looked at my kernal version atpnd its the tiamat 1.6.1 version so should that help?

 

[NewAge]

You can, the root files are different.

Xoom WiFi (MZ604) Root!! - xda-developers

This looks like a good one for wifi version. Even has videos.

Once you get comfy there loading kernels is cake and doesn't wipe anything. Just a couple files to push and a reboot or two.

You said you ARE rooted already?

Download the Kernel zip and unzip. Now take all of those files individually and place into your ADB tools folder. Open up a command prompt and enter adb, once you've done this:

1. Reboot into the bootloader by running:
adb reboot bootloader

2. Flash the boot image to your boot partition, then boot back into Android by running:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

3. Push the bcm4329.ko, scsi_wait_scan.ko, and any other modules to your /system/lib/modules folder and reboot.
adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
adb push scsi_wait_scan.ko /system/lib/modules/scsi_wait_scan.ko
adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab
adb reboot

 

[NewAge]

I don't think he knows how to open a command prompt and push files with adb. Trying to make sure he has sdk installed.

Great right up bOricua.

Yeah I'm rooted already, there was a one click option I found that loaded 1.6.1 for me without typing anything so I have the bootloader unlocked and can over clock to 1.5GHz with setcpu.

 

[NewAge]

Do you have the sdk installed and know how to open a command prompt?

 

[b0ricua]

I don't think he knows how to open a command prompt and push files with adb. Trying to make sure he has sdk installed.

Great right up bOricua.

If he doesn't know how to use ADB, this should help:

What is ADB and How do I use it?

 

[Beezzy]

Thanks everyone for your help! Imma read how to enter command lines and adb. Ill get back asap

 

[NewAge]

Take your time. I am pretty computer savvy and it took me the better part of a day to get the sdk installed properly. It would never put adb.exe into platforms-tools. Once you get that your money.

Another hint, shift+rightclick on a folder bring up options to open command prompt from the folder you are clicking on. This is quick way to get to command prompt.
