I was told the same three times now, but still no sign on my Xoom.
Here is an excerpt from the email from them, the names have been changed to protect the innocent lol:
Dear ,
Thank you for contacting Motorola.
The ICS for XOOM has begun to rollout in the UK. As a rollout is done in stages, not all units will recieve the update at the same time. Please ensure that you are connected to a strong wifi connection and then manually check for updates by going to Settings>About tablet>Software updates.
We fully understand the inconveniance caused by this delay but believe you will enjoy all the new features ICS will bring.
For any further assistance or information please do not hesitate to contact us again, quoting your Customer Reference number.
Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.
Kind regards,
Motorola Mobility UK Ltd.

Hi all,
I can confirm it has started rolling out as I got the update available notice yesterday 4/8/12 on my Xoom 32gb WIfI +3G, it is quite a big download and install as it takes quite a while but my Xoom is now running fast and smooth on ICS and its all good. Hope you others get your update soon, now we just need to wait and see if we get JB.
Marc
It has been on the roll for sometime!
and If
My Xoom had NOT been rooted
I would have had it today
I could bark at a tree!
motorola - FAIL-ED
now I have to wait again, i guess?
Samsungs s3 - rooted - updated - YESSSSSSSSSS
I can confirm that i have updated my UK MZ604 with official ICS.. So i think everyone should get the notification
Got mine today but it hangs on recovery screen when installing, any clues on how to fix this? Mine is rooted and b/l unlocked, wifi only XOOM.
i think that is why its stuck on recovery you must unroot it and lock the bootloader..

Stuck at work at the mo, but you need to download the stock Img from the moto-dev site and install it via adb, google is your friend on this, if not i can drop a few links later tonight.

I'm sick of being treated like dirt by Motorola, and will never buy anything from them again.
But for now I'm stuck with my Xoom Wi-Fi, unable to upgrade to ICS because Motorola doesn't give a stuff!
Is there a way to change my region settings from Australia to US?
I'm guessing if the update thought I had a US Xoom it would update it for me.
Sorry to hear that man. Not sure about changing regions, just root it and Install the latest ICS 4.0.4 Custom ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241
I'm in the UK and get treated the same as you.. So just unlock your xoom and flash the USA rom.. Its dead simple... There are lots of tutorials on the web with all the links to the required files..

Are you kidding? Motorola alone chose to release ICS in the US only, it has nothing to do with any country.
Thanks to the rest of you, looking into it.
Hmm no google has control of the USA wifi xooms that's there test baby. Why do u think there are tweeks like SD card on forign motorola xooms and not the USA xooms? Motorola just sends out the os for google on the USA xooms.

Wrong. The US WiFi only is a Google Experience Device (GED) and GOOGLE handles updates for it, NOT Motorola.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Updates come from Motorola, who have issued release dates for foreign owned Xooms.

If you haven't found this yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166106
You'll need to register (free) as a Motorola dev to download the US Honeycomb image from their site, or just download it from somewhere else. Then once it's flashed, your device will update itself via the official OTAs all the way to ICS 4.0.4.

Simplest and fairly fool-proof instruction. I used this to change my region to US. Got pushed to ICS by doing the steps listed above and then checking for updates. Worked GREAT!
Just GEDify my brother version to US and very easy using the guide
although find some differences. but that make it easier
Hi Guys
I've got a 604 UK Xoom Wifi with Honeycomb 3.2 running. I've not rooted it or flashed it.
I'm looking for the easiest way to make it a GED that will receive OTA updates to ICS and then Jellybean when it comes out. I've looked through numerous threads and am really confused!
Any recommendations are much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Im sure someone will come by and point to a guide on XDA but in the interim I did this on my UK Wifi only Xoom to get to GED (and thus ICS)
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-hacking-guides/6591-how-uk-wifi-us-ged.html
Took all of 30 mins max to complete.
I've thanked you, thanks.
Did you get ICS automatically, or did you need to check for the updates?
Also, what version of Windows/Linux are you running?

No OTA update available in my Atrix 2 (running with a custom ROM)
I recently rooted my phone and am using a custom rom (Victory ROM) now.
Now, after hearing that Moto has official ICS update via OTA, I'm trying to check for 'System Updates' in Settings -> About Phone. But no updates there.
Is it like, I have to come back to the stock ROM and get this update?
Thanks.

You have to be on stock..also the latest ota for at n t ensures theres no way back to GB..so i would advice to use the 1st leak and not the latest

I assume you have Indian Atrix 2 (based on your location), if that's the case read this forum which has details as how to install the ICS. (latest file seems the Official ICS release)
devilhunter47 advised is for AT&T phone. Indian phones seems don't have that problem and people can get back GB using fxz it seems (based on what I read there)...
Better you read that thread and go from there...All the best...
Did anybody notice improvement in battery lift after the ics update?
I did find a big improvement. Earlier, with 3G and auto sync ON through out my office time, battery status used to come down to 40-50%. Now, after End of my work day, it is at 80%. Observed this for a few days now.
Also the battery drain overnight has improved. I assume this might have to do with the black and cool blue skin that ics implemented...
Heya, First timer here, and just got a ME865 Motorola Atrix 2. Loving it so far
My question is that I just updated to the latest OTA 2.3.6, but im getting no notification for any ICS update for it. I have scoured the net for any sign that my model has gotten the update, and people all around the world are saying that they got it. Why havent I recieved anything about it?, Ive tried going to settings>about phone>System update, but that says im up to date also. Has there been ICS release for this phone?
This has to be a joke, right?

Has anyone been able to get the ota update from verizon ?
I went back to completely stock 4.4.4 rom with no system roms removed, stock 4.4.4 recovery and I flashed back to 4.4.4 firmware and the verizon ota updates keeps coming up that I have the latest software.
I know its out because verizon itself even shows it on the net going over the update in detail. They even show you can also get the update through the htc sync software by plugging your m8 in to yuour computer usb port and downloading the update. Which the htc sync software keeps showing no update either.
It would show a repair software option though which I tried that knowing I would still have s-off even if they did relock my bootloader because I could change my cid and use htc dev to unlock that if I needed to.
Anyone have any luck going back to stock and taking the LP ota from verizon ?

The Lollipop update to the AT&T version of the M8 has VoLTE, indicating it's probably a carrier thing more than an HTC thing.

Probably. HTC's update page still says that it's in the "3 - Certification stage of the Android Lollipop Release."
Although Mo Versi did say to expect it the first week of March. So must be close.
I just ordered an m8 from Verizon and I really hope it didn't come with lollipop.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app
Mo Versi replied this morning: "It's approved, you should receive the OTA soon. Thanks!"
Pretty sure one site saw that the lollipop documentation was up and just assumed the ota was released and then all the other sites just copy and pasted it and now its a runaway train. And it being approved is not the same as the update being pushed out. Pretty sure we got played as far as getting it today.
