View 1 Replies View RelatedFor those of us wishing Motorola would unlock the bootloader like HTC, it looks like AT&T is cracking down on HTC. I've been reading the new HTC One or X or whatever it is, running on AT&T will not be able to use the unlock tool. As HTC is losing market share I guess they just don't have the juice they once did with the US carriers to
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe world knows updates in a Motorola phone is very slow! This leaves power users with no other option but to go for custom ROMs. Even there locked bootloader is always a very big problem! Moto promised long back to unlock bootloaders. Defy and Defy+ are now quite old phones and will receive no update either! So now is there any hope that the bootloaders will be unlocked? This deters most devs and power users from getting Moto phones inspite of an excellent build quality. Hope we get a reply and this thread don't die without any use!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know there is a lot of anger over on the UK forum about why Motorola can't provide even a date for upgrading to 3.1, so I thought I'd share my experience of working round the issue on a UK WiFi only Xoom. What I did was download the stock 3.0 US firmware from the motorola developers site, unlocked my xoom, and installed it. Instructions are provided on the site along with the firmware here; url...When you install, it will wipe your device. You will loose all data. Back it up before you do anything.After install, you will have a vanilla 3.0 US Xoom. The difference being a couple of extra games, but no UK dictionary. This isn't the 3.1 that you are waiting for though. You need to then go to system updates and the tablet will then tell you that there is a new version of the firmware. Let it download and install that, you you will have a 3.1 device.Other than the missing UK dictionary, the only other problem is the iPlayer web site. After a month and a half, the BBC had finally updated the iPlayer web site to recognize Honeycomb as a valid mobile device, but with Honeycomb 3.1 it is back to saying that this mobile device can't use iPlayer. Muppets. You can work round that by putting the browser in to debug mode and setting it to be a desktop device.
Unlocking also voids your warranty, although my personal belief is that a hardware defect would still be covered under UK consumer law if you can show that unlocking and installing Motorola firmware is a reasonable thing to expect to do - in the same way that a washing machine manufacturer can't say that your waranty is void if you use washing powder in your machine. I'm not a lawyer though, so make up your own mind on that one.
I just want to ask if there's a way to find out if my bootloader is unlocked? My TrackID stopped working when my friend borrowed my phone and upon searching here the only possible root cause it by having the bootloader to be unlocked but when I checked if I can update my phone via PC Companion it works fine loading and updating my FW/SW and now I really don't know what happened to this phone. I'm afraid that my friend did something to it and maybe he really unlocked my bootloader.

I am using 32GB microSD card. If I connect my Xoom to my PC and transfer files, as soon as I reach 4GB utilized storage on the SD card, all files gets disappeared, and moved into the LOST.DIR (renamed).If I unmount the card, put it into my PC, and copy files to it, as soon as I mount this SD in my Xoom all files that were copied to the SD after it reached 4GB in utilized storage, they just get deleted (nothing in the LOST.DIR). Even if I will mark these files as Read-Only they still get deleted.

View 4 Replies View Relatedi have a xoom 32gb wifi only device that i purchased from woot.com and i received the update notice to 3.1. i have downloaded and attempted to install several times now, each attempt has failed.
see attached image for error I have tried a Factory Reset (Settings -> Privacy -> Factory Data Reset), as well as factory reset at boot. No success.
I also tried the "wipe cache" command at boot and this did not result in a successful installation either. The only other choice at boot that makes sense is to "install update from usb", and when selected it goes to sdcard.
At this point I am seriously considering rooting, unlocking and then updating?
I have just got myself an XOOM 3G, from Saturn electronics here in Germany. This is an device witout contract, and I am using it with my O2 data contract for 3G connectivity.
I was expecting that I would be able to change the OS language from the Standarad German to English... Huummph it seems not to be the case.
It looks like from my investigations that I will need to reinstall the Android OS, because The only language in German android in German SO my question is where do I find the download of the version of Android that has English as a selectable language? BTW the device's current OS level is H.6.3-25-9

View 3 Replies View RelatedA couple weeks ago the Xoom stopped charging. I took it to work to look at it and then it just started charging at work. I brought it home and it was charging again at home too. I thought it must have been some fluke. Only now it is doing it again. I have tried dozens of outlets, and they work for any other device but not for the Xoom. It won't charge.

I know Moto for some reason decides to always wait until the files are technically obsolete when they upload them, and 3.0.1 was a "minor" update, but its a pain having to flash back to 3.1 just to start totally fresh.
