Help!: Problems updating Xoom to ICS 4.0.4 - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just received my Motorola Xoom Wifi (running ICS 4.0.3). I am trying to update it to ICS 4.0.4, but I am having a problem doing so.
After the update is downloaded and the Xoom restarts, I see this message in the top left corner: "Entering Android Recovery Mode Reading ODM fuse:1", then the android is on its back with a red triangle and exclamation mark in it.
What does that mean?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The red triangle thing is your recovery complaining about the update.zip,
If you are rooted, the ota update will not work. If on stock, hold on to wait for another ota to pop up and install. If your boot loader is unlocked, it might be of a reason... share more details, logs if possible..

I have the same problem as stated above.
My XOOM was unlocked and rooted with a stock Honeycomb ROM.
My son accepted the ICS update when offered yesterday which downloaded OK.
The XOOM is now in a loop. If I reboot using Vol+ and Power it boots into the old ROM, then reboots and tries to install the update but fails with the 'Triangle/Exclamation mark' symbol. I can't get out of this.
I presume this is because it was rooted as stated above, but what do I do now.
Do I have to remove Rooting? If so, how?
Can I remove the update package? How?
All help appreciated.

I had the same problem when I tried to update my rooted Xoom. Fixed by rebooting the Xoom (vol up + power), then going into CWM to clear the wiping both cache and dalvik cache. This stopped the loop and everything is back to normal.
I'm thinking whether to forget the UK update and GEDify instead and go to JB.

Problem Solved
Thanks for responding!
It's a brand new, unrooted Xoom (I believe). I solved the problem by unlocking the bootloader and flashing the Stock Honeycomb Rom (US GED Firmware). I'm currently running Jelly-bean
The instructions for unlocking the bootloader and flashing the stock rom, can be found by googling: GEDify your non-US WiFi Xoom – For n00bs

Same here. Decided to GEDify since I have no idea when UK will get JB.

[Q] Going from rooted 3.1 to 3.2 on my 3G

I have a US 3G Xoom that is rooted on 3.1 and running a custom kernel.
What would the quickest and easiest way to get 3.2 right now? Root or not doesn't matter I'll root it later if needed. I got the OTA but it wont work with a rooted 3.1 and custom kernel so I didn't even try.
Thanks!
Oh in case anyone see's this and wants a quick easy way I've done the entire process in about 10 minutes.
Went to MotoDEV and got the official stock image for Android 3.0.1 and did fastboot flash and wiped my Xoom then relocked with fastboot oem lock
Then I took OTA to 3.2 and I'm good to go and have since reunlocked and rooted

My stock 4.0.3 Xoom got update but didn't update

I am new to Xoom but not to Android. My new Xoom came shipped with ICS 4.0.3(IML77), told me there was an update and rebooted afterward, but the About Tablet page in settings still says 4.0.3 IML77 and NOT 4.0.4 IMM76. Now there is no update available. Is this common. I am tempted to just root it and put on EOS, but I thought I'd give it a few days on stock first.....
Always something different.....
Having same issue on stock unrooted US Xoom Wifi. Loaded w/ 4.0.3 from factory, 4.0.4 update downloads and ends up in green bot w/ red ! during install, then eventually reboots to 4.0.3. After that upadate is no longer found??

UK Xoom on JB

Hi all, bit of help if you can please.
Just bought a XOOM Wifi 32GB 2nd hand and it has come with JB on it and I know nothing about rooting/flashing the Xoom and want to revert to stock ICS, then learn how to do it.
Details are
Android version 4.1.1
Kernel 2.6.39.4-Eos3-g91a0873
Build No Eos JR003L Nightly 135
It has clockwork recovery 3.2.0.0 on it which I can get into via recovery but if I do the power off and volume down in gets stuck in fastboot
It has a app on it called goomanager but no idea what to do next and works fine but I would really like to stop beeing a noob and get this back to latest stock ICS, root it and then go from there - is there an easy instruction on how to do this (with explanations of each step etc)?
Many thanks
Simon

Stuck on "Warning Triangle" screen after Jelly Bean update instlals

Hi all,
I've got a euro GSM nexus s and I recently erased and re-flashed the official stock ICS over, as expected after a few minutes it decided it wanted to install the jelly bean update so I let it download, verify and then reboot the phone to install.
It showed the "unpacking" screen with the box with the arrow coming out of it and the progress bar. When the progress bar got to the end it changed to the warning screen with a triangle with an exclamation mark inside it and a little android below the triangle. It has been stuck on this screen for about 25 minutes now and I'm too scared to pull the battery because I don't want to kill the phone mid-update.
Does anyone know what this screen means or what it means for the update? Has anyone had a similar problem? Is there any way to get around this? Should I just pull the battery and see what happens?
Thanks for your time,
carkey
P.S. Here is a photo of the phone with that "warning triangle" screen:
dropbox dot com /s/6uoyyqslox6s74w/IMG_20120829_233306.jpg
EDIT: I can't post outside links yet so just go to dropbox and then the "/s/..." etc.
Thanks.
EDIT 2: I eventually breathed deeply and pulled the battery, after doing so it booted back on but into ICS and now says "Your system is currently up to date" so it seems the progress bar part of the update didn't actually do the whole update and then the warning triangle bit was what was making the whole updating process stuck.
Anyone know what the warning triangle screen is for or a way around this? Is there a jelly bean rom I can flash so I can actually have a working copy of JB?
Thanks again.

Don't touch system partition, use stock recovery, and bootloader, radio.

Hey, thanks for the reply but I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean I should flash the stock recovery, bootloader and radio over and then flash the stock ICS system?
I have the stock ICS radio and bootloader the only difference is I have clockworkmod recovery on there.
Thanks,
Carkey

Why don't you flash custom rom? The stock rom is a bit slow to be honest.

The main reason is because it is my girlfriend's phone and she pretty much wants stock. If there is a pretty much stock-looking JB custom rom then I'd definitely go for that but I don't know enough about customs, the only one I know is cyanogenmod and that definitely doesn't look like stock.
Can you recommend a stock-looking JB custom rom? Or even a way of getting stock JB on without putting ICS on and then doing the update?
Thanks again for all the replies,

What zip file did i flashed for stock ROM??
If you flashed real, pure stock(odexed), plz follow this..:
If euro version is i9023,(I don't know exact version..)
http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/i9023/
This site might help you.
Download JRO03E from IMM76D(if you are stock rom and version is IMM76D)
Do wipe cache/dalvik cache and flash it via cwm6.0.1.0
(If you didn't modified system partition!!Just adding more system apps is ok, e.g Rooting)
Just hitting thanks button will be great

Cool thanks for the information!
I'm going to try this tonight, is there a chance she'll lost personal data? As in, will she have to go through the setup process again like it's a new phone? We had to do this for flashing ICS?
Also, is this much different than doing the update from inside Android as in when it comes up with "New firmware/software availavble [whatever it says]"? Is there any chance it will get stuck on the warning triangle again?
Thanks,

[Q] Installing OTA update / reinstalling stock recovery

Hey,
I have a telus HTC One S and they just released the Android v 4.1.1 (my current is 4.0.3)
I've rooted my phone and installed CWM. But i would like to undo this to install the new ota update to this version. I assume this means i will have to :
remove super User
lock my boot loader using fast boot
Then using the RUU_Ville_U_TELUS_WWE_1.70.661.1_Radio_0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L_release_254554_signed.exe
file install the stock recovery and rom?
Is this correct or am i missing something.

Right, go for it.
"IF I HELPED YOU HIT THANKS BUTTON"
.
You don't need to re-lock bootloader. Just remove superuser and restore stock recovery, then you are ready for OTA update.
So It worked but I encountered another issue, after the update was done my phone was unable to stay connected to the telus network.
it will connect to 4g with almost full bars for about 2 mins of which i can use data then it will disconnect me entirely, I can't search for the network or automatically configure it.
I took it to telus the sales guy played around with it reset the setting, nothing, then he Gave me a new sim (said it fixed his htc one which he did the same update last week) but it didn't work for me.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how i might fix it. They want me to sent my phone into for repairs but I don't want a loner phone for the 3 weeks it takes them to fix it.
I'm tempted to run the RUU again and sent my phone back to the stock 4.0.3 from 4.1.1 to see if it works and then try upgrading again.
Any advice?
maybe clear cache and possibly check the apn setting.
I tried that, and even factory recoveries with no luck so i returned it to Telus and hopefully it'll be repaired, It says re-locked and the tampered was removed so hopefully i don't get my warranty void'd if it is i'm sure i can down grade to the original os then load a custom rom and it should work
Just got my phone back from HTC
Despite having previously rooted my phone, they repaired it with no questions, and for free. Turns out my phone had a defective mainboard so once i updated the defect affected the phones ability to connect to the wireless network or something. But with the replaced board and with the new software update its working perfectly again.
