[Q] How do I root UK 3g OTA 3.1? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Prior to the OTA update to 3.1 my MZ601 was rooted using alias_neo's guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049901 when the OTA update was released I flashed back to 3.0.1 and updated, but now can't seem to find how to root it.
Anybody know how to root it, please?
TIA

Look at Page 4, I have uploaded files needed for 3.1 root.

Thank you so much, I knew there had to be a way of doing it, I'd looked at that post last night but dismissed it because it referred to the Australian version
Thanks again

[Q]HK Xoom 3.0.1 ROM

A few weeks ago, I purchased a Xoom with Wi-Fi only in Hong Kong while I was visiting. However, I did not know it was a HK Xoom until I did a OTA update to 3.1 H.6.4-20.
I would like to flash a US 3.2 or above using this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166106
To my dismay, it states that only 3.0.1 HK Xoom has been tested and working.
It seems that Motorola has not released the stock 3.0.1 version so I have no way of flashing it to my Xoom.
My question is, is there anyway for me to get a 3.0.1 HK ROM in order to flash a US 3.2 or above? Also, can I try the guide I mentioned above without flashing back to a 3.0.1?
Thanks

You are looking to unlock your bootloader and root so you can flash a stock or custom rom with the HC three point two update, yes?
There is a new universal root method that works on any Xoom, any model, any country.
If you root with this method you could flash the Tiamat Hammerhead Rom which will provide you with the three point two update. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209341

Maybe... But you can try it! Can you get it via OTA? If the answer is yes make it this way... you can abort installation once donwloaded and upload it searching it via Root explorer... Its only an idea..
But... you have 177 version... Its strange that you have an update... you have lastest froyo version...
Check out!
EDIT: Last version is 179...
no I don't have any update via ota, only via motorola software update....can you tell me if I can update with root permission without problem or is better remove them?
yes you can men dont be afraid
I think its MSU update and not rom update

no i'm not so stupid i'm doing it, after it finishes I'll post news
ok
pls share the sbf... if possible and let us know if english language is supported or not supported...
i don't know how to share the sbf!
all done....no more root but i can't see any difference....
my version and my number build are the same...not sure on the other infos...
so what did it update???
I really don't know unfortunately...seems nothing
Settings->About phone - any details? Kernel version/buid number/etc?
kernel: 2.6.32.9
the other infos in the first post
And your sure its not an msu update?
i lost root on my phone, it can't be a msu update....i don't know is a mistery
it's a repair, not an update, it "fixed" your rooted phone
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
so it detected that I had root and he removed it? I'm right? because when it was searching for updates, it controlled that my phone was under guarantee....thanks I think you have found the right answer, sorry for the inutility of the thread! I was hoping in an official update from motorola but there are no hopes...
sorry for bad english

It's a little bit rare but you can try forcing to install downloading the update from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398186
It's for i9020T but it works with i9023 too!

Urko
PS: Can anyone thanks me? I can't release my Rom on the Dev section because I don't have 10 posts thanked! Ahh and the post was made a little bit with Google Traductor, I'm 16 years old.. xD Sorry

UK Xoom: Highest OTA Android version?

Hi
I have a UK Wifi Xoom MZ604 and was wondering what the latest official Android version is? I am currently on 4.0.4 but seem to recall some UK Xoom users getting OTA updates to newer versions than that. My Xoom has not been modded, rooted etc in any way, but I've never received any further OTA update notification.
It was suggested somewhere that I reload the original stock firmware and go through the OTA process again to get the latest release, but after doing this I'm just back to 4.0.4 and seemingly going no further. I would like to get to 4.1.x as my wife watches alot of Demand 5/My5 which isn't supported on 4.0.4. I don't really want to go the root/custom ROM route as some of the apps that we use on the tablet don't run on rooted devices (All4, I'm looking at you).
So was there ever a UK OTA update beyond 4.0.4? Or am I stuck with it? Or any other suggestions?
Cheers!

Only for the MZ604 US version 4.1.x JB in OTS not yours.
It's stupid but like this.
If you flash your xoom with the stock HWI69 (android 3.0) your tab upgrade in OTA to 4.1

Thanks, I came to this conclusion and flashed HWI69 the other night. Pretty simple to do, now OTA'd up to 4.1
