[ROM] Stock ICS 4.0.3 for Motorola Xoom (Perfectly working Camera & HDMI)

Hello everyone,
This is what currently running on my xoom. Camera and HDMI is working flawlessly. Contacts and Calender syncs with my Gmail without any problem.
My Xoom model is MZ606, Wifi Only Xoom purchased in China.
This built is firstly shared by "changguangyu" who is one of the xda member. He actually shared the sbf file released by Motorola China thru a Chinese hosted server, and that is why many users in xda are sufferring the slow download. Many thanks to "changguangyu' who share the sbf file.
I extracted the sbf file into system.img and boot.img that can be flashed thru fastboot. This may be the safest way to flash without risk of bricking your xoom. Click below link to download the images.
HUBWF_W5.I.7.1-14_HUBBLEWIFIHKTWNGEN_P007_A035_HWwifi_hubble_Service1FF-extracted.zip
Below are steps to flash via fastboot. (of course, flash at your own risk)
Pre-requirement:
You have unlocked your bootloader. (how to unlock bootloader)
You have rooted your xoom. (How to root Motorola Xoom)
Note: This will wipe all your sdcard (internal storage) data, besure to backup before flashing.
Boot into recovery, do a Nand backup.
Copy the images (system.img and boot.img) to where the fastboot.exe is located.
Take out the external sdcard.
Enter into bootloader. (Power On Xoom, Vol+)
Open command prompt. (navigate to where the fastboot.exe, usually "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\fastboot.exe", the right click > Open command windows here.
Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Type: fastboot flash system system.img
Type: fastboot erase cache
Type: fastboot erase userdata
Type: fastboot reboot
That's all, you will boot into ICS 4.0.3 shortly.
This is Stock ROM and for sure is not rooted, for those who would like to have root permission, download su-install.zip, copy it into your external sdcard, then flash it from recovery.
What I shared is not an sbf file, but the extracted images from the sbf files. (system.img and boot.img). One can always easily recover the xoom back to how it was by recovery. (eg. TiamatR4c Recovery)
Hope everyone enjoy!

The empty spaces are for icons of apps that I installed, what you can see here are stock apps.

You're really pimping this download, aren't you?
Like said earlier by Team EOS, people, download this at your own risk.
It should be noted this isn't exactly "stock" as we know it here. Sure, it's "stock" by Motorola standards, but this "stock" is ICS with Motorola's Blur additions because this release is Chinese based and not US based.
Bottom line: If you install this, you won't be getting a "Google Experience" like you're used to if you've used a XOOM in the US. Also, you could be exposing personal data since this ROM hasn't really been gone over with a fine tooth comb yet.

does this rom have working 3g?i have the mz601 europian model!!

Thank you, everything works great. Start up the game that did not work. super

Just gonna be brutally honest here guys. Do you really wanna expose your device to telephony framework in which the Chinese Government has influence? Call me paranoid, its all good. Paranoia keeps me out of trouble. The library files we pulled were completely torn apart by a security expert who is top notch in the industry. The libs are safe. I'm not gonna beat the bush on this one.

what about 3g on european xooms? will it work? i think not because i read wifi - am i correct?

if there is 1 thing you should do... its listen to this guy. Im just sayin

there is nothing to fall into paranoia. I installed rom the European Xoom wifi and everything works really well.

Thanks !!
No problem on my Wifi Only (MZ604), except that it "talks" to me in chinese (?) on first boot.
Note that first boot took something like 5 minutes for me.
All languages seems present, but default keyboard is not localized (no AZERTY) and has some chinese keys too.
Some chinese in menus too (in the "compatible" Zoom menu).

Thanks, nice Rom
It works OK on my US wifi Xoom. Everything seems to work

I'm usign it for 1h30 now... it seems very slow (comparing to eos), it lags a lot, applications start slowly (lot of "continue waiting/force close")
Is it only me ?

for me works very well. is very fast and so far no problems. start up games and apps that do not they run on other ics. for example, zen pinball.

It works very fast and smooth here. The only problem is that I get an error when I want to install su-install.zip from recovery. After that it seems to work but no apps which want root permission appear in the list. I don't get a toast eather when an app asks for the permission.
Even I don't see a toast and the file appears in the list. Rootpermission seems to work.
Everything works fine and smooth, Thanks

Is there the face unlock feature in this rom?

It is better when you share expirience with this ROM to mention which XOOM model you own. It is useless somebody just to say it works and another to say it doesn't work, but nobody says on which model.

No facelock, and there's a lot's of option in the developer section, it can show CPU usage and other stuff, probably a developer build, speed seem ok here, no different than EOS build
The standard motorola are there, I do not see much difference from a stock build, not sure what is related to blurr...
All app are restoring from market with this one!
The NFS.KO module and CIFS.KO are there, nfs was missing from EOS build

After a reboot, no more lags and speed issues.
Same issue with su (no authorization asked, no toast notifications) but su works anyway. Can't upgrade su binary via Superuser.
The only (small) issue remaining is some chinese text in few menus and system preferences (but it's totaly usable).
French (and other) keyboad is available with the android keyboard (default selected keyboad is chinese motorola)
US Wifi (MZ604)

does this work on the Verizon lte xoom

I doubt this would be compatible with anything other than wifi...

After installing SU I pointed Titanium on my SD to do a restore and the external1 is writable, this is new since under EOS it was not writable with titanium...
Also one application I use is relay (french magasine site relay.com) it was crashing with EOS build, now working
That's enough for me to keep this build! let's hope they do not hack my google account

Hows motoblur? I would like a option of a skin on our tablet to play around with sometime.

Problems downloading drivers

When I try to down load needed info to my PC , it starts to load then will not, says its virus laden, my only option then is to dismiss. What is up with that. I have asked this question in every forum and venue I can find, but have never received an answer, guess this will not be any different:crying:
I have been wanting to root my first kindle for along time now. I have been researching and researching, for the most easiest and most informative way to do it, before my 1started.
I read everything here and thought that this will be super great and super easy, I still cannot download the drivers, to PC .
Reason I say thought is that I went through not only the directions, but the posts pertaining to the posting, many praise the ease of following the instruction, but many also say they are stuck here, and cannot seem to get past, this, and don't know what to do about what happen here.
If these question were then provided with answers to clear them up, then I would say that this is a good thread, but with all the questions, and answers not enough to cover them.
Well, I will not be attempting to try this, as much as I would like to. But seeing all the troubles posted after there attempt scares me. I am I will attest, to be the dumber of all the people here. And if I get into this root and hit a snag. As these smarter than me people have ,then I would be definitely throwing my old kindle fire brick, away.
I also realize that I need to find a forum more suited for my abilities, this forums name really tells me I am in the wrong place. . For developers by developers, I do not even know what a developer is.
What most users need, and I emphasize, most, because there are more people like me, who know very little, cruising through all these computer forums, looking for help to there problems, that they can easily understand. Than those of you, that seem to know everything, and ask questions like, does anyone know how I can flash a downloader on my custom ROM that is soft bricked, etc, etc, etc.
The reason there is not a forum out there for dumb people like me, geared to answer questions in plain simple language, is because there is no one, who would be smart enough to run the forum, that understands what plain simple language is. When you know a great deal about computers you don't want to hang with a bunch of dummies, but I think sadly, there is a giant hole in the market, that those of us with out computer savvy could fill.
It would be the biggest forum, on the internet, therefore attracting the most advertisers for income,, only problem in all this is there is not enough smart people who know how to speak down to the uninformed, to answer all the questions that flow to this forum.

Kindle Fire Utility does contain a trojan, that is needed to root.

The op (original thread post) covers several l subjects, so I have no idea what you are trying to download, from where, or several other factors that could be causing issues.
Then you edited your post almost an hour after I replied.
Please do not use the edit option unless it's to fix grammar, spelling or incorrect info, anything else just adds to the confusion.
Turn off your virus protection, download file, make sure you are selecting correct link, and not an advertisement (see screenshot)

help choosing rom for kindle fire

ok basically im wanting to make my kindle fire 1 more gaming oriented. So , I want the OS version to be minimal and fast but still new enough to be compatible with most things, and I want to be able to overclock as high as possible (i made a cooling system for it )
Also I've never done any modifying with android, so I dont know for sure what all the pieces are that i need to have and what auxillary functions they perform (as in: bootloader (loads kernel?), kernel (overclocking?), ROM (kernel included?), something else?) I am a Linux user tho, so it would be helpful if I didn't have to use Windows to flash or whatever
Suggestions?

alright you need to root, install twrp and firefirefire
start with
[How To][Root] Kindle Fire 1 update 6.3.3/6.3.4 [2015]
then pick a rom, see the index
[INDEX] Kindle Fire Development
most roms haven't see any updates in years, many roms do not even have working download links
there are 3 different types of roms Otter, Blaze, and OtterX
Otter and Blaze use stock partitions, OtterX use modified partitions/recovery/Bootloader
also see Random Builds and Development (OtterX roms)

is there a utility or something in the rom to overclock it then?
And what type of rom or partitioning would you recommend?

Don't think anyone found a reliable way to over clock
I don't recommend any particular ROM, read the threads, ask questions in the specific ROM thread

im currently testing out a few different roms. im looking for best performance, i'll update a little later tonight with my results.

ok, ive looked around and i think i want an otterx kitkat rom, but there are a couple and i don't know what the differences are (SGT7, slim...). Like I said, I want something fast and stable, as I am not too familiar with tablets yet. Also i thought overclocking to 1.2 ghz was pretty stable, from what i've heard?

so after trying lots of different roms, including otterx roms with the extra partitioning, i have to say i am most impressed with the performance and speed of twa_priv's CM/SGT7 10.2 Otter (not otterx) build. it is very fast, smooth and runs apps very well. I definitely recommend giving it a try. It even has the Overclocking features you wanted baked straight into the settings under the "performance" tab, you can easily adjust the minimum and maximum clock speed. Right now i have mine set at 1200mhz max and 300mhz min, i am getting very very smooth performance in Youtube and Kodi (my main use for this tablet) and battery life seems to be really good so far. I definitely rate this ROM an 8/10 for the kindle fire 1st gen, its the best rom i have used, even compared to the most recent roms here on XDA for the otter/otterx. For an almost 6 year old tablet this thing flies. I definitley reccomend giving it a try, in fact try a few other roms before you try this one just so you can truly feel how magnificently fluid this rom is.
I used: cm-10.2-20131022-1433-otter-sgt7.zip
I got the rom here:
http://d-h.st/users/loosethisskin/?fld_id=27993#files
the guide for installing the rom is here:

I used an ultra slim version of gapps that only installs the play store in order to save ram, you can manually install any google app you need from the play store i just did it this way to save what limited resources are available on this device. You can find the download as well as more info here:

RootMaster
Rootmaster apk
and
Rootmaster.exe run from PC
These are made by Chinese devs, not open source, but have been used by many people, with no known issues.

Update: Been using the CM/SGT7 10.2 Otter rom and its running great performance-wise, Drastic runs pretty much full speed on everything! There are some apps that I installed that just wont run tho, like smashy road and beach buggy blitz, but thats not a big deal.

Fire phone Experiment... Lollipop

The folder is this:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7SzqPOr1EdIQ19qNDVQUDBWOVE
(some ROMS could be unstable, use it at your own risk)
Last ROM, xROMx_Pipapop_PX_3_deox_Rootd_Safestrpd.zip ...
based in saturn device of Amazon (Lollipop 5.1.1)... as this one is so simillar than this Stock, I hope that it will be more Stable... if it could be flashed with no errors, this one will be so stable...
In shared folder xROMx_Pipapop_ProbeX_Lollipop.zip
(maybe unstable, but uses art and api level is set to 22, cannot probed yet by myself, waiting for my fire yet...)
Roms v.10 and v.3.9 (follow the steps)
There is a new ROM for probes v.10, is based on original update-kindle-37.5.6.3 for ford device... Is fully Lollipop (with art even)... So maybe doesn't work or is unstable... If anyone test it, remember not to apply root in first flashing, because it could give you bootloop with supersu zip...
Stock ROMs
(I suggest use this stock, instead of original...Just for the avillity to have safestrap even doing a factory reset)
-Wipe (optional, but only factory reset)
-First, install ROM v.10 version
-Second, flash gapps-711 in safestrap
-Important... don't flash supersu zip yet!!!
(maybe at this point it would be flashed xposed v.22 zip, I'm not sure)
-Third restart and install total comander (is in shared folder)
-Fourth, Install Google5 fix in the same session as upper step (there are in Google5.zip file, do it restarting your fire, this or another usual fix, the 4 files of fix are in this zip, uncompress and install this ones or another ones)
-Fiveth, (previouslly I supose you have downloaded all the programms not runnables in kit kat by apkmirror.com for example... Andrid Auto, instagram, and so on)... having it... install all of those ones apps and don't worry if doesn't work now...
-Sixth, reboot to safestrap... (we dont need root, because safestrap starts in a simple reboot)
-Seventh, install ROM v.3.9... without wipes, keep in mind... (So important without wipes!!!)
-Eighth, install Supersu zip (not in shared folder)
-Reboot and install Google4 apps of the google4 zip...
-at this point I hope all the apps installed with the previous v.10 version works now... in 3.9 version...
(if you are asked by google to update service framework... do it)
And, That all Folks!!!...
(now maybe all Amazon apps aren't upgradable, are deodexed)
For better Google compatibillity install at last, this file:
com.android.vending_7.6.08.N-all_0_PR_149245622-80760800_minAPI14(240,320,480dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
(Download it from apkmirror.com)
about google launcher was a cassuallity, I have a program called button savior istalled and google launcher installed but not working... in any moment the buttom of tasks of button savior shows home task... and I killed it... so the system ask me what start home do you prefer... say GLauncher, and all ok...
(you can use a home switcher too)
Special thanks to @ggow and all the team
Google launcher working!!! with widgets and all emojis... In the Stock ROM!!!

i guess the "563231720" is a fire os 5.6.3 systems version. not a device version. actually is "37" or "32"

I dont't kow really if it could be with HDX7 bootoader... I saw the link you've post and the problem I see is that the phone could be broken, or enter in a loop... if anyone want to have part of my work to do it, please, ask me it...
I'm testing new cooked roms, in order to make it more stable, since now I've have rooted (prerroted with chainsDD) and with kingroot later, after flash... and I've intalled google store with the old method, the new one doesn't works... but is what was comented in this thread, isn't so stable rigth now...

Can you upload to dropbox or other online disk?cuz your website is unstable. i can't download
thank you

New Rom cooked from another
Has anyone tried it so far ?
And is it safe to install it or it will brick our fire phone ?
And what are the bugs in this ?

New Rom cooked from another
You must contact @ggow,he is the only one that could help you in solving bugs and making a stable rom as he had made cynogenmod 11 ,slim kat and Asop rom,so you should contact him and tell hime about your work and its seems like that you have almost found a way to make an update to 5.3.2 (lollypop) .This means that we could install cynogenmod 12 and this will also solve the camera issue ..

@pipataki dont use ur site please, send it to google or Dropbox, because we cant download it

yes we can't download it from ur site so please upload to google or dropbox so that we could test it

Pipataki is afk now?

Base map missing in Accuweather, GasBuddy, etc.

I've had this problem before with my Nexus 6P, and I can't seem to solve it on my Pixel XL. The apps I have that use Google Maps do not show the base map layer. For example, in Accuweather Premium, I can see the storm clouds on the map, but the streets, cities, rivers and lakes aren't there. Instead of overlaying the radar on top of the map, I see the radar displayed on a grid, like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have the same problem with other apps such as GasBuddy, RedBox, etc that use Google Maps. I also use RadarNow, which uses its own map base, and it displays the map just fine. When I open Google Maps, everything displays just fine.
I have tried multiple factory data resets to correct this, but I can't get it to work at all. I am stock, unlocked via dePixel8, and unrooted.
Any suggesions?

Last time this happened to me, I reflashed the stock firmware and that fixed it.
You could also try uninstalling Google maps/wipe its data.
Reboot.
Then reinstall Google maps.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried wiping cache/data and uninstalling Maps, but it never hurts to try again. I'll also uninstall all the offending apps, and try reinstalling them again.
I wonder if I signed up for 7.1.2 beta, then unenrolled back to 7.1.1 if it might shock my Pixel back into cooperating. Not quite the same as reflashing stock firmware, but it might do the trick.

Maybe verify all the permissions are correct as well?

That I have done. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I am usually pretty selective on granting permissions, especially Location. But it has been granted for all the affected apps.
I even went into my Google account and re-enabled Location History, to see if that helped. I also tried downloading local maps in Google Maps for offline use. That didn't help either.

You can flash the stock image on top of your current image without losing any setup apps/data.
Just remove the -w from the script.
You'll have to update all the old Google Apps again, but the data should still be there.
It is something easy to try.
My guide will walk you through the process.

Remember to remove the -w from the script though!
Or download the -w modded script I added to my thread.

Thanks, Eddie. Well-written guide and easy to follow. I'm waiting for Google apps to update.
Keeping my fingers crossed!

Well, no luck with that. I use the -w modded script and everything went smoothly. However, I am getting the same blank grid where the maps should be.
I think I will try it again without the -w modded script to wipe my data and set it up as a new device. It can't hurt, I've already got everything backed up.

If you deal with it as-is for a few more days, then you can flash the March updates.
The new image should be released early next week and I'll be updating the how-to thread with that new image.

You might also try wiping maps data and uninstalling again, then try the Beta maps?
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.apps.maps
I'm not sure if it's the OG Google maps which is always referred to as beta, or a beta of the Beta Maps. lol
Either way, it's something easy to try.

Given that you have noted that you are cautious about permissions is there any possibility that some other filtering or firewall settings on your device or network is causing things to not work? Just trying to consider other possibilities and am thinking that just because Google Maps works doesn't necessarily mean that other apps that reference Maps services do so in exactly the same way.

Yeah, it has me puzzled. On a whim, I tried a full data reset AGAIN yesterday, and logged in with a new Google account. I gave full permissions to any and all requests. Still no luck.
Hopefully 7.1.2 will trigger something for me. I am tempted to enroll in the Beta program again just to give it a shot, but I'll see what the March update brings us.

any fix on this? I'm having this issue on myradar

I'm on 7.1.2 DP2, and still no fix. I have clean flashed stock 7.1.1 multiple times before I took the 7.1.2 DP2 OTA.
Everything was working fine before I dePixel8ed. I don't know if that is related at all, but it's one of my few remaining avenues to explore.

I know this thread is kinda old; sorry about that, but I have this same problem not just with the Pixel XL but also the new Samsung 8+ both of these phones are stock unrooted and holding the latest version 7 of android
I am too seeing no map data for some apps like GasBuddy but Google Maps themselves work so I thought it was bizzare but then again you never know if Google is playing nice? Maybe this is on Google's end and not allowing those apps to use their map API?
What good are the apps if you can't use the map?
