Set your clock a day ahead and then restart your Xoom, this should make it search for update.

Are the people who didn't lose anything running a stock Xoom?
My Xoom is rooted but still running stock kernel. Will I lose just root?

thanks a million 4 being interested...... I have posted my question there n havent gotten a favourable reply..... Well i will try again 2 update with kies n leave it 4 as long aspossible n if nothing happens, then i guess i will hv 2 do a hard reset n try again...... I really dont want 2 use odin as someone suggested in d forum..... Even though i formatted my sgs, i still see all ,y application icons but cant use a whole lot of them cos their program files arent there..... When i try again and i cant update and i do a factory reset n still cant update..... I will definitely let u know
just decided to show u some of the screen shots of my kies and the screen i get stuck up in
i have finally done a factory reset and am still facing the same problem ................i think its just hard luck.........
well, something funny i thought after a factory reset the phone was gonna go back 2 its original state..........i dont think i remember seeing that superuser icon when i bought the phone...........does that mean am still rooted cos i still see d superuser icon...........maybe i need 2 unroot then if am still rooted?????????? what is the best way to unroot ............am just confused

ouch!!!! your phone rooted?¿?¿?ensure you because if you have the device rooted you can´t update via kies...
i seen your screenshots and the firmware that you have seems the factory WEE OFFICIAL RUU for SGS. seems well for to update it
for to know if you have your device rooted..
1--download TERMINAL EMULATOR
2--put in the terminal emulator (write):
"su" (enter)
then your device may to turn to you a warn of superuser permission and you must to acept... then the blue console shoult return to you "#"
ensure of it please and post
EDITid you buy the telephone new Or you did someone sell it? if you was buy the device new, its imposible that its rooted
Thanks again i think ama try n unroot it but i just hp i can do that d software u r talking about, does it unroot????? So u mean i cant update thru kies if am rooted?
Try using a different computer. I could not get it to work on Vista but my old Xp computer did it with no problems

maybe it´s the better solution because if you are SURE about you have the factory official rom, unrooted and another security of the device not disabled its strange that don´t obtain permission for to flash

Not sure I understand but if you flash the Odachi kernel (alone, or over the Moray rom) you will get the update to 3.2.1. That's the highest honeycomb version for WiFi only.
Sorry its coming up with a software update but I thort that in england we only got the 3.2 so im worried. Do I download the update or just leave it im on 3.2 rooted at the moment

I you are rooted, don't accept any OTA updates...you will screw-up your Xoom.
Just flash the Moray Rom, or Odachi kernel or the rom 1st and kernel 2nd, then you will be all updated and very happy. The rom will require you to do a factory reset/data wipe through CWM Recovery menu, though...just a warning so you can back everything up. Run a nandroid just in case, too.
thanks soo much i bricked my xoom and just mannaged to get it out as i didnt read ur reply in time wont be doing that again. will it work on my uk wifi only? and is titanium a good program to back everything up as an .img? again thank uv help me on nearly all my threads

How to get ICS on my Nexus S officially !?

Hi
I have the Samsung Nexus S I9020T on T-Mobile USA...
Bone stock everything , non rooted and nothing tweaked (running on 2.3.6 since 1st time I unboxed new 3 weeks ago)
How can I get the new official OTA of ICS ??? I only says "your system is upto date" even after I did the code that searches ...
Thanks
Type and dial:
*#*#checkin#*#*
Wait until you get the update notification.
Tried this and it is the same , "Your system is up to date" ....
Either wait for it to hit your phone or install it manually from the links provided in other threads

You have to wait. In worst case several weeks. You can't force start the download, just the queueing.
Or you update manually, what you did.
Hi i didn't think that this deserved a thread thats why just asking it here i installed ICS manually and rooted it and errrything ofc SU not workin' but anyways was wondering is it possible to go back to 2.3.6 via nandroid OR fresh install
Thanks

Stock Build Prop

Hello all, Haven't had time to post anything but got a few questions, I got an update the other day and I think it was a camera update? I'm not sure. Anyway I'm rooted(Not unlocked). I tried to install it and it brought me to an Android guy with his chest open. I have played with an LCD Density App. But I set it back to stock. Anyone know the problem? I just want to be able to be able to accept and download jelly-bean.
Thanks
read through the many ota threads from last week and you should find everything you need.

Then type su
Then hit enter
Then type echo --update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile > /cache/recovery/command
Then hit enter and exit

Just get back to stock and wait for the JB update. You will find the guide for going back to stock in the General forum. Also if you plan to unlock i would recommend you to do it and use the NvFlash tool before you update to .30 firmware.

Can you tell me how to change the build.prop back to default? I think that would do the trick
How about this...
go to settings
backup and reset
factory data reset
make sure there is nothing on internal storage that you want to keep before resetting.

No, everything is lost and set back to stock.
You can root again though.
Ok, well today I factory reset, rooted, and then attempted to due the update. It started updating but then it went straight to an android with open heart. Is it maybe because i only had 15% battery? Anyway to pull the update back in?

AT&T 950 Android 5.1.1 Software Update!!

Its finally here!
Is there root available? the same exploit used for sprint?
Unfortunately, people who has 5.0.1 rooted stay away of 5.1.1 ota because you can get bootloop.
We need a stock system backup from 5.0.1 unrooted, so when I can update, I will root it

I didn't update. It kept saying communicating. So i thought it was because i was rooted and my system folder was modified. So i recovered it with the system image from that forum. Turns out it isn't the stock system image.
I can go buy a new phone. I don't know how to extract the image without rooting it though. Do you?
