Motorola XOOM gets SD Card support for rooted users

This has turned into a great day! Motorola XOOM owners have been wishing for sd card support since the tablets release, and now anyone that is rooted can get in on the action with a custom kernel. We already knew that bigrushdog had gotten the sd card to work, but we thought it would be another day at least before the package would be released with instructions. Now we have both below just for you, so get your adb on, and find an sd card to use afterwards!

Instructions

Download this zip file: Tiamat-ver-1-3.zip

Extract the files to your sdk-tools folder(right-click on zip file, select “Extract files…”, then locate your sdk-tools folder and select)

Connect your XOOM to your computer

Open the command prompt through your tools folder

[infos title="How to get Command Prompt"]

The easiest way for me is to go into your navigation bar on windows, click the ‘Start’ button, then ‘All Programs’, then ‘Accessories’, and finally click on ‘Command Prompt’

A black folder will open up with a blinking space, this is the command prompt

To get it to your sdk tools folder, you will need to tell it where your folder is

To do this, type ‘cd’ then a space, then your path to the tools folder, starting from your hard drive

For instance, my hard drive is the ‘C’ drive, and my folder is located in the UsersShaneandroid-sdk-windowstools folder, so I would type this: cd C:UsersShaneandroid-sdk-windowstools[/infos]

Then type these commands, hitting enter after each line. Some areas will take time to complete so be patient
