I am rooted using the Universal Xoom Root method. I am still running stock, only with SU and apps which require SU. Why can I not accept an OTA update? It seems like the worse that could happen is it overwrite the SU.apk and I need to re-root.
Thanks in advance.
I was wondering about this as well. I am rooted and am running Rogue kernel. I guess I'll just update and see what happens. Worse comes to worse, I will have to re-root.
Seems like the Xoom forums are quiet...did a lot of people abandon the device for the Galaxy Tab 10.1...When previous OTAs happened, the forums were chock full of chatter about to or not to accept the update.
Yeah, I just tried an OTA update and it wouldn't work. Got the Droid with exclamation point. Up + power put me back where I was.

same here. No dice on the update, just stuck at the install screen. On a positive note, the update notifications are gone. Damn those were annoying.
If you root, even without any additional custom ROM/kernel mods, you may receive notification of an OTA update but you should not accept it and try to install it. It will probably put you into a bootloop or worse.
If you wish to root, don't worry. Our wonderful developers are hard at work right now, configuring an update for the device...we'll more then likely get it before the official release comes out OTA.
Anyway, you can always revert back to stock if you really want the OTA update, but stock is boring.
place your unrooted backup on, take update and reroot.
if you don't have one, their are some around.
I keep a backup that isn't rooted with all my apps installed, then when update comes, it is real quick to restore, update and reroot ....

Yeah, diddo here with it not bothering me about OTA updates anymore after trying. It didn't put me in a boot loop, just the pretty droid screaming (exclamation point)
I have a backup from before I rooted, but what the heck, it didn't hurt anything, and I was just playing around.
Thanks for everyone's input.
Spoke too soon. The update is back to nagging me again. Errrrrrrr
Why can't they just push out ICS for the Xoom. Hell, they showed ICS on the Verizon Xoom at LeWeb this week.

Yeah, diddo. Mine started again about three days after I tried to install. I too am looking forward to ICS.

Hi All,
Newbe with a Asus TF101 and I have to say it's been an adventure !
Originally I found a posting how to root my tablet and it worked great until an update notice appeared and locked up my system. After much panic stricken hunting around I found this site and was able to update the tablet to ICS 4.0.3 which is even better then before and runs great.
Now another update notice is appearing again......
[Q] How can I check that this update is ok to use or since I've installed a custom ROM I won't be able to use any of these updates from Asus ?
thanks,
Don't update if you have CWM or custom roms installed( root is fine in most cases). If you do want to update, return your tf to stock first.
Thanks for the reply.....
I was thinking that given my last update experience. Is there a way to turn off the update notices so I don't accidentally update ?
Stop DM Client running in the settings menu. That'll stop your notifications, at least until you reboot and then you'll have to stop it again. You might be able to freeze it using Titanium but I haven't tried it so I can't confirm it won't cause any problems.

This is my first post on this site, though I have trolled these forums since I got my smartphone. I have learned a lot too!
Currently my phone is a rooted Maxx HD (xt926) running JB 4.1.1. From what I have read on the forums, going to 4.1.2 might break my root and WILL keep me from going back to ICS using a tool I found on this site (Matts tool I think its called). I have decided its not worth the upgrade until someone gets root with a stock JB instead of with ICS then a JB upgrade.
I am glad I caught it in time. The updater started the 4.1.2 download so I turned off wifi and data to stall it. I couldn't cancel the download. I have Titanium Backup and froze Updater 4.1.1. This took my downloading notification away completely. Now if I try to do an update, it says an update is currently downloading, however I have no notification or any sign something is actually downloading, so I think that stopped it.
I am hoping this doesn't mess up future OTA updates should I defrost and try again.
This isn't a question so much as I didn't see a thread that covered stopping OTA notifications with this phone after a search. This procedure seemed to work great so far. This is probably such a simple thing to veteran android users that it probably wasn't posted, or I didn't find the post. I am hoping this will help other noobs. Or if this won't work or breaks something else, hopefully someone will point it out.
My phone is rooted but I never installed another rom. I'm still using the one that game with the phone. My phone now wants to install the update and keeps giving me annoying pop-ups. When I try to install the update it always fails. I hate these pop-ups. So how do I update the phone or at least turn those pop-ups off?
Thank you!
Hey Guys, quick question...
Its been a couple of weeks that I have a notification from T-Mobile to do a software update.
I'm rooted and running a pretty stock 6.0.1 Rom. I tried seeing what happened if pressed install now.
It restarted and went to my custom recovery and then I just rebooted, once at my home screen I was notified
that the installation failed. Is there any way that i can get this install to complete or if its not recommended,
any way to have the notification to stop pestering me.
Thanks!
Anybody?
