Hi,
I have a droid 2 that is currently running the leaked version of the gingerbread ROM that was released a few months ago. Now that Motorola has finally rolled out the official gingerbread update, I'd like to switch back to that. How would I go about doing this? Is there an official ROM that I could flash on to go back or an update that I could do?
Also, once I get on the official Gingerbread release, is there a way I could root the phone again? Has anyone tried rooting this release yet?
Thanks for your help,
Josh
Hey guys,
I was using Tiamat for a while but switched back to stock yesterday. I got the notification for the 3.1 update and it updates fine. Do you know if the 3.2 update is available for Canada ?
If not, I might have to load the US image so I get the update..
Looked a lot before posting but couldn't find a definitive answer.
Thanks
Just got my 3.2 OTA for my Canadian Xoom last night. (I live in Alberta..)
Hey all,
I am currently running this rom here:
Xoom Zone 2.2.2
All is fine with no problems, however the market is in US.. a minor problem.
As the UK now has 3.2, whats the easiest way to get back to 3.2 and then re-root?
I have the 3.1 image from Motodev website - should i go this route then update to 3.2 the root again?
Or... Is there a way on the xoom to change my market to UK version? - That i guess would be the easiest option?
All help appreciated..
Cheers
Hi all,
i decided to leave ICS and go back to GB 2.3.6. So I unroot Nexus installing 2.3.1. Aaand whats happend? There is no OTA to 2.3.6 (I was thinking that Google should share that one since they stoped ICS update). Ok, so I install 2.3.2 (GRH78C), then try to install 2.3.3 (GRI40). But it cant be done! Why? Anyone knows? How can I direct install stock 2.3.6. To addition: Ive got 2.3.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 on my PC.
Check this thread, it has the full ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
thanks a lot, it totally helps me! i forgot about this threat
I just got an open box Xoom that seems to be a Canadian version (or at least all the updates come from a .CA address). The ICS upgrade isn't coming up as an available download. Does anyone know if it is possible to load the US ICS upgrade and if so, where to download the package?
Just a little more information... It came with Android 3.0 and got the updates to 3.2. Now when I check for updates it says there are none available. I know ICS has been released in Canada so if getting that package is a better upgrade option I'll take it. It is a Model MZ604 Wifi only if that helps.

It would be much appreciated to let the forum know what model xoom you have (like Wifi or MZ604 or wingray etc...) The different xoom models have slightly different ways of getting ICS.
Here's what I have to offer as advice. Don't take my word for it, but if you want the stock, non-rooted, official US MZ604 ICS version of android for your Canadian Xoom, you'd probably have to load the U.S. stock honeycomb images onto your xoom, and that will allow you to accept the OTA updates that eventually lead up to the latest version of android ics 4.0.4. This assumes that you have a Wifi Only xoom MZ604. By loading the U.S firmware, the xoom will pick up the ICS update intended for the U.S. Wifi Xoom
If you want to find those images: go to http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/ . You will need to sign up for an account, but the account is free and gives you the real, stock factory images for the xoom.
If you have a xoom that uses 3G/4G service, the only option that comes to mind is too root an apply a custom rom onto your xoom. Wesamothman has good guides in the Xoom General forum for doing that.
When you are at the site, look for the M
@Yosterwp,
I am thinking today to combine a general guide for all xoom types rooting and ICS ROM flash (custom). So that it would be one thread post for all xooms
And thanks for appreciating the guides...
@Newanzer, Yostewp is correct. I won't doubt his judgments / methods...

Sorry I should have included that. It's a WiFi only MZ604. I'll edit the original post with it as well. I'm kind of thinking of keeping it all stock for now instead of trying to rebuild it, so I'd like to get ICS 4.0.3 for Canada if possible.
I have been reading other forums about this issue as well. I've tried the clear framework data fix with no luck. Some are saying I need to set my date back to day of release. I may try that tonight. The OTA method seems flaky. I'm surprised they don't have a manual update download option.
Thanks for the reply.

I have the Canadian Xoom (MZ604) as well. I got tired of waiting and tried this shortly after ICS was released to the US version and it totally upgraded. It was a bit tedious to start at 3.0 again and run all the updates just to get to ICS but everything has been fine.
