I just got a wifi xoom from au kddi japan, and i want to unlock the bootloader and root it. However AU released the stock 3.1 japanese update today, and I downloaded and installed it.
Question: Do the same rules apply in unlocking and rooting my xoom after installing the stock update?
Did anyone made a video on how to unlock and root a non-us wifi only xoom?
Thanks

Hello guys,
Since today I am owner of a german t-mobile xoom 3g.
I am now on 3.01 and could ota to 3.1
If I install the original Europe Rom, could I directly update to 3.2 or is this only possible with us firmware?

There's a brand new Universal Xoom Root method by one of our great Team Tiamat developers, solarnz, and if you are not rooted, it's supposed to work on all Xooms, no matter if wifi or 3G, or the country model. That would be a great place to start. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241
I managed to install the european stock Rom and OTA to 3.1 as 3.2 is only for us, as I read. Then I rooted it with your method .. working fine at all. Thank you.
Hi! I am thinking of buying Xoom wifi and it would be a canadian model.
When I want to update, can I use the US model roms to update the xoom or no? For example, would love to update the xoom to 3.2.2 and then root it.
Thanks!
Yes, it's the exact same model. There's a few guides around to tell you how to do this.
Followed the guides on the forums here for my cdn xoom been running us rom for 3 months now and very happy!

Is it possible to upgrade my hTC Desire HD with a stock ICS?
It was originally bought in Japan, locked to Softbank with that carrier's bloated ROM (on GB).
I then rooted it and flashed CoreDroid 9.2
At hTC Japan they refuse to help me citing carrier agreements.
This upsets me because the device is mine and I want to upgrade it, if it is technically possible.
Can I just go to any English hTC website and try to upgrade my phone using the ICS for my same model but sold unlocked in another country?
TIA
Tommaso
Anyone? Any advice? Please?
Dear XDA-developers and forum users,
I've got a phone, a branded Htc One S from T-Mobile. Yesterday, some websites spread the info that there was a new update for this phone; an update to android 4.1. I defintely wanted this update so I went through my phone to Settings > Info > updater. Despite, no update was available. So I began googling for this issue and there was somebody who said that I have to unlock my Htc One S.
So I began unlocking my phone. My unlock went succesfull (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427). After the unlock I tried to check for the update again. Still no update available. After asking an old friend of mine who knows a lot of rooting and unlocking, he said I'd better lock the device again. So I changed my mind to re-lock my htc one s.
So my question is, how can I re-lock my device? I hope that somebody is able to help me out with this.
As you have noticed im a total noob at rooting and unlocking etc.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin Knops

Greetings.
You'd have to unlock your bootloader first.

You can not return, without unlocking the operator. If you do not risk, the best you can do is install another Firmware (I recommend Rogers, Canada, is very clean, and I had no difficulties).
Telcel firmware is full of unnecessary applications. I'm from Mexico, and sincerely preferred to unlock and have newer versions of JB (I'm testing 4.2 on CyanogenMod 10.1).
The RAZR HD is very powerful to keep ICS.
