Hi,
I currently have a Xoom with stock rooted 3.2 but my Xoom keeps telling me there's an update so when I try do it, it just takes me straight to recovery. How do I get it so it doesn't? I wanna be ready for ICS without losing any data.
Thanks

If you are rooted, dont accept the OTA update. It can mess things up.

If you were impatient and flashed a leaked SBF like and still wants to get the official update, here is a shord guide for you. I examined the 6.36.0 sbf and the code groups for CG31 and CG39 are the same as the leaked froyos so i flashed it on my phone running CM7 and it booted After it i downloaded the OTA let it install and now i am on the official 2.2. I can change it with the CM7 anytime i want and if i have to take the phone to the service restore it to stock 2.2 So step by step
1. If you are on any leaked froyo download the latest us eclair sbf(JORDN_U3_6.36.0) from http://www.and-developers.com/sbf:defy
2. Boot into the stock recovery and wipe
3. Boot into the bootloader and install the SBF from point 1
4. Let the phone reboot then go throught the motorola blur registration then setup a wifi connection.
5. Download the OTA (settings->about) and if the download finished let it reboot and install the update.
6. Enjoy stock untouched 2.2 T mobile froyo
hi is this only for US people or will it work in UK as well?
It will work but it does not worth it. It is the same version as the one was a month ago... the nordic 177 or CM7 is better.

What is the version number after the update?
Anyone can upload nandroid and sbf ?
It came out as OTA so no sbf available. Every version is the same as it was with the test update... it is android 2.2.1 34.4.9 they did not changed anything from the test update so i am not satisfied at all...

Can i send in my defy for service with this rom?
Edit: I guess this rom is official. Read this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044980 .Cool stuff. Thanks for the heads up!
I tried flashing this and now my phone wont turn on i needed this so i can return it to T-Mobile with a stock ROM, but now my phone won't even turn on. Tried removing battery and putting back in, no matter how long i press the power button, it wont even turn on. help plz
On which rom were you before? Did you wiped before flashing the sbf? I have done it myself many times.
i was on CM7 and i wiped and flashed like u said. it might be my phone.
EDIT:
well nevermind, looks like the screen is fried. it seems to have flashed but the screen wont display anything cause when i plug it in to the computer, i hear the little beep and the LED notification appears, but no display.
you cant burn the screen like that. If it beeps then you are ok. You should try flashing the nordic sbf for example, fom it i have gone fortth and back to the us froyo the way i described.
so what should you do:
1remove your battery and while putting it back hold volume up.
2 start RSD lite and connact your phone
3 if it is connected flash the sbf.
If the PC does not sees the defy then your battery is flat. Charge it with an external or try mcgyver, you cant brick defy with flashing.
Will this work if you flashed the 2.2 OTA then used a custom froyo ROM. I basically want to take this phone back to stock.
I thought we couldn't downgrade.

i was on nordic when i did the things i written. Got back the official now i have done it from other custom roms like CM7, but wipe in the stock recovery before trying it. I dont have any problem but seems like someone had so be careful.
I'll give it a shot because my nandroid restore is buggy.
Will post results.

Finally a way for US users to return to FULL STOCK regardless of firmware
It worked!!!
I was on barbones 1.5.1 then went to a backup nandroid version of my original stock rooted. Was kind of buggy so I decided to try this
1. Wiped everything using the stock recovery
2. Bootloader and flashed nordic 2.2.2 and "skipped" the automated setup until the phone desktop appeared then waited until RSD said the phone "passed".
3.Wiped everything using the stock recovery again
4. Bootloader and flashed 2.1 JORDN_U3_6.36.0 then pressed "start" at the motoblur screen and waited until RSD said the phone "passed".
5. I then entered my motoblur info and "skipped" everything until I was at the android desktop. After syncing was finished (waited about 5 min) I proceeded to "Download the OTA (settings->about->system updates) and after the download finishes let it reboot to install the update"
Thanks "vick33" nice find!
Note:
I could not update the kindle app without it giving me unsigned package errors. My solution was to root and uninstall the oem kindle app.
Then unroot and perform a factory reset. The oem kindle app did not restore and I was able to install the latest kindle without errors.
No other issues have been found.
*** CONFIRMERD TO WORK ***Another solution maybe to update the kindle app prior to updating the phone to 2.2 via OTA. Possible the better way to go considering it does not require rooting or removal of a system installed bloatware.
i mean the screen doesnt show anything. screen is black, idk whats wrong with it. im not saying the sbf had anything to do with it, just saying the screen went out. i just turned it in anyways, so ill be getting a new one soon.
First off, just let me say that I am not a complete newbie, but I am fairly new to this so bare with me, I am sorry.
Ok so here is the story. I got the phone new with froyo and then got the OTA update for gingerbread.. I hated the the new camera app, so I rooted, flash clockwork recovery and flashed back to Froyo. Well I got sick of Froyo because besides the camera, gingerbread to me is way better. But this is where I have problems. I tried to flash back to stock gingerbread and it said "installation aborted" every time and I have no idea why. I tried to update through LG updater with no luck, and I dont know why, maybe baseband? So I get pissed and unroot and flash back stock recovery, which is where I am at now. All I want is to get back to gingerbread and be official so I can be all set to get any future updates if we are so lucky to get one? I'm not expecting an update but I'll be happy with the phone in gingerbread with stock rom, I had my fun with custom roms, dont care for it anymore. I didnt do any back ups, and im currently on 2.2 everything stock.
Can anyone help me? Point me in the right direction?
back up everything you want off your phone to your PC. This will wipe everything. Follow the guide exactly.

Can anyone confirm that the ota of ics is out for the at&t i9020a. I know my nexus s 4g on sprint got it just a couple days ago.

As of Friday it did NOT. Was totally stock with no updates available.
I haven't seen it on mine or my wife's Nexus S on AT&T yet. I'd also like to know if the AT&T OTA has started yet.
It has started. As usual, for some reason, it is being released in random regions. If you're on 2.3.6, you can download the Official Google OTA Incremental update and flash it through stock recovery.
Be warned, no way of going back without wiping ALL personal data. If you want a failsafe, root 2.3.6 with some method (i think zergrush/doomlords method works here) without losing data and do a nandroid backup and TB backup, then unroot and flash 4.0.4. This way you have all personal data backed up in case you need to unlock the bootloader to downgrade.
Well southern Colorado hasn't got it yet. Its no big deal I was rooted and on ics since I got this phone a couple months ago. I just want to be stock for now I ran out of time to keep tweaking and Modding my phone. So now its just playing the waiting game to ics

Southern California still hasn't got it
I know some AT&T devices have received the update. Can you check by dialing this number:

If you are on custom rom, you shouldn't be getting OTA.
Try renaming etc/security/otacerts.zip to otacerts.bak

Thank you guys. Renaming that file at first did not work but after while those annoying updates have stopped so i think it's working.
What's weird is that even after reboot they still were popping up but only after some time they stopped. Odd. Thank you guys.
Now i'm getting some weird message about:"there was an error while trying to download the data. Please try again later"
This is famous pixelrom 1.72 fully touched. I love this rom
Hmm, I've experienced this on Stock 2.3.6 ROM, the download still showing but stopped, It's annoying but, I'd try factory reset & after it completed I'm turning on the phone without sim card (to ensure there is no internet connection) & renaming the "otacerts" file. So download will not be showing & not started
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
So weird. Even the data message went away now. Many thanks guys. I'm keeping this rom.
no problem guys, glad to help

I tried and removed ICS and JB. Went back to GB, it's faster less bloated and does the job for me. GB kept downloading ICS automatically and giving me nag messages to install it.
I found the following thread, which fixed the problem.

The trick is to install FOTAKill immediately after you install another rom, before the phone connects to the network.
To install it, I used the "adb push" method from cwm recovery.
I flashed a couple roms on my Nexus S but didn't like them so wanted to go back to stock. So to make sure I get the original update I flashed 4.0.4 on it. I set my phone up and everything and got the notification that there's an OTA. Of course I let it install. Phone shuts down, starts installing, CWM asks me if I want to run the untrusted file, I select yes and get a Status 7 error. What could cause that? Is there a way I still can get 4.1.1 as an OTA or do I have to flash a 4.1.1 ROM?
