Got Honeycomb 3.1 Update on Wifi Xoom - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I own a wifi xoom and currently running tiamat 1.40. i just got the update notification. I recently changed the build.prop because I wanted to access the android market outside the us. Is that the reason I'm seeing the update notification or is already the wifi xoom rolling out?
I'm afraid to brick my xoom if I try to update.

Don't update. You need to go back to stock before you can do the OTA update. If you do that, though, you'll lose root and all of the awesome homebrew stuff, and we have no awesomely reliable way of getting back as of just yet. Best thing to do, in my opinion, is to wait for an easier 3.1 flash, which I'm hoping will come soon. BRD has a root/sd card/otg/etc zip out there, but it's still being tested, and you still have to flash back to stock to get the OTA and such.

[Q] xoom has crashed three times from browser?

This is really weird
my xoom has crashed three times today. Browser hangs then it goes to black. I can only get it started again by holding volume up and hitting power. Its unlocked and rooted but nothing else. Any ideas on what might be causing this and how to fix it?

Are you on 3.0.1? If you are then this is normal, I had this also. 3.1 update fixes this.
Ya I am. How can I get 3.1? Thanks atleast I know nothing is wrong with mine for now

Wait for it, it will be pushed to you automatically or if you have a US Xoom then you can install it manually. Check the threads in development forum.
Mine is canadian so I guess I have to wait. Will it still update even though im rooted/unlocked though?

[Q] UK Xoom WiFI to GED (ICS OTA?)

Hi Guys
I've got a 604 UK Xoom Wifi with Honeycomb 3.2 running. I've not rooted it or flashed it.
I'm looking for the easiest way to make it a GED that will receive OTA updates to ICS and then Jellybean when it comes out. I've looked through numerous threads and am really confused!
Any recommendations are much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Im sure someone will come by and point to a guide on XDA but in the interim I did this on my UK Wifi only Xoom to get to GED (and thus ICS)
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-hacking-guides/6591-how-uk-wifi-us-ged.html
Took all of 30 mins max to complete.
I've thanked you, thanks.
Did you get ICS automatically, or did you need to check for the updates?
Also, what version of Windows/Linux are you running?

No OTA update available in my Atrix 2 (running with a custom ROM)
I recently rooted my phone and am using a custom rom (Victory ROM) now.
Now, after hearing that Moto has official ICS update via OTA, I'm trying to check for 'System Updates' in Settings -> About Phone. But no updates there.
Is it like, I have to come back to the stock ROM and get this update?
Thanks.

You have to be on stock..also the latest ota for at n t ensures theres no way back to GB..so i would advice to use the 1st leak and not the latest

I assume you have Indian Atrix 2 (based on your location), if that's the case read this forum which has details as how to install the ICS. (latest file seems the Official ICS release)
devilhunter47 advised is for AT&T phone. Indian phones seems don't have that problem and people can get back GB using fxz it seems (based on what I read there)...
Better you read that thread and go from there...All the best...
Did anybody notice improvement in battery lift after the ics update?
I did find a big improvement. Earlier, with 3G and auto sync ON through out my office time, battery status used to come down to 40-50%. Now, after End of my work day, it is at 80%. Observed this for a few days now.
Also the battery drain overnight has improved. I assume this might have to do with the black and cool blue skin that ics implemented...

New OTA update? Just got a notice to install.

My wife's n8013 just got a notice to apply an OTA the tablet just downloaded... It's around 192mb, so my guess is it's just apps.
The machine is rooted, stock.. Anyone know if this breaks anything?

OTA may fail or corrupt OS if rooted use Kies and reroot .

Anyone do the update? My Note 10.1 wifi got an OTA notification as well. Currently on stock 4.1.2. Anyone know consists of this update? My choices are, Later/Install All/Install....curious...but not enough to hit the trigger. :laugh:
This is interesting. Anyone knows what Samsung packed into that update? If you've already rooted, i think it's much safer to wait until the update is added to your favorite custom ROM.
That's kinda the issue, she likes the stock ROM. Maybe I'll pull the update file and look into what's in there tomorrow.

Unfortunately my son thought he was being "helpful" and accepted it.
Minor UI stuff, stuff runs a little smoother, but I haven't seen anything major.
HOWEVER it de-roots you, and none of the usual suspects have worked. I originally rooted using Framaroot, and it does not work. So waiting with baited breath for someone to get around to fixing that problem. :laugh:
I just checked my daughter tab 2 7.0 and its installing 4.2.2 right now.. and apparently thats been out for about a month. I was unaware... kinda stinks that an older tablet has a newer os version

Just flash the sbf files and don't bother with an OTA? Just sayin... If you want it that bad.
I would need a new computer to get the SBF flashed. My gear is not picking up this phone. Worked fine on my RAZR. Stuck waiting. Surprised it has been this long of a wait.

I am glad I didn't participate in this soak nor get the update. It's causing a lot of problems.
Honestly I think what we have here is possibly an influx of users coming from devices like the galaxy nexus that were easier to modify. Lots of one click tools. This whole rock my moto thing for rooting 4.2.2 looked intimidating. Glad I was able to keep root with pwnmymoto.
I do think it's kinda funny. I had jelly bean and Google now since August 2012. Everyone of my friends this spring kept trying to show me the new features. I'm like Ahh they're not new! Alas my payback has arrived. My ppl with gs4s are all like kit kat neener neener. Least I can be all like verizon grandfathered unlimited data neener neener!
I wonder if the day will come when sbfs can be released earlier and more available?
How are these people who manually updated and bricked their phones getting replacements? Must be bc of the non rooted folks who bricked just by simply updating. Either way I'm glad it's covered.

Take the phone to the store and they will try recovery, reset, etc. and then send a replacement.

If you're attempting to flash the update manually you must do so twice. The first pass will update the bootloader and recovery perhaps a couple other smaller things. Regardless the main update is the second pass through. If you haven't applied the update twice from your SD Memory you can likely repair it yourself. Worst case just run the 4.4 sbf...

So Im assuming if they are having so many problems with the verizon OTA that they just stopped pushing it until they get a fix?
Sad day. I was so excited. I dont want to deal with rooting so I was hoping this would happen.

Again, you don't have to be rooted to flash the update. I'm not rooted and I flashed it yesterday with no problems at all. Took about 10 minutes beginning to end.
