Updating My Xoom - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently have a rooted Xoom running 3.2 with Kernel 2.6.36.4 Tiamat, build HTJ85B.
My question is can I update or change the kernel, and update the OS to 4.0,both strictly OTA? If not, can I at least download the needed files to a flash drive, download those files to a particular that is not connected to the Internet, then update the Xoom that way?

From what I understand, you should be able to unroot your xoom, recieve the
OTA then reroot it.

You dont need to unroot to take OTA updates.
I'm confused as to why OP can't simply take the OTA updates.
Just realized OP is on a custom kernel and possibly a custom rom. Do you have a custom recovery installed as well OP?

If you're referring to clockwork, then yes.

And a custom rom?

Well regardless you can't take OTA updates if you dont have the stock recovery. Your best bet is to go to Motorola's site, download the stock images for your region and then flash them with fastboot.

Motorola has redesigned their dev site stuff with all their new devices having come out.
This thread has what you need though. It will return you to stock.

Actually probably only the radios are different, if this situation is any similar with the D3, it should work minus phone and data
a confirmation from the dev may be needed just to be sure the radios wont fry if flashed with wrong software
Get it working for the Maxx HD!
Radios are deff different and some other stuff

Did you check the MD5 of the download before you began? Is your boot loader unlocked? Are you on stock ICS or JB leak? Did you use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper for any reason? All shots in the dark... worked OK for me on stock rooted 4.0.4.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
I'm unlocked.
On Jelly Bean leak
Yes I have Vodoo Root Keeper.
For some reason I thought I needed to be on Jelly Bean leak.
Could it be root keeper causing the problems?

Another question since I see your name in a lot of good info. I thought I saw somewhere about replacing that stupid unlock warning with the Motorola symbol again.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2
Not sure about this but make a backup of your current state (you probably already have) then in Voodoo app delete the SU backup then try again. Also I'm not sure if it can be installed on JB leak (not saying don't do it, I'm saying I don't know.)
@dhacker29 or @Hashcode0f via twitter will be able to answer your questions if my suggestion doesnt work.
EDIT: just updated the OP with his download page... There seems to be a newer version out anyway, try them.
Thanks

Did this work for you? Did you remove Voodoo root keeper? I have trouble like you trying to install this rom

[Q] Root TF300 w JB?

I just purchased a TF300 today (Black Friday WOOOHOO!) and it came with JB pre installed. Can it be rooted/downgraded? Btw updated to 10.4.2.17 firmware
I too purchased 1 at Best Buy on Black Friday. I've been looking around and I found this video on YouTube which links to XDA and a thread in this section. The video was done before the JB recovery was added but I think it should work. Just use the JB recovery in the place of the ICS one. Here's the link to the video. Once you check the link that accompanies the video, you'll see what I mean. I'm thinking about rooting mine today. The only thing that has stopped me from doing so is the fact that there is no work around the voiding of the warranty.
Here's the vid I was talking about.

Went ahead got the TF300T 32gb today.
Installed TWRP with fastboot and flashed Paranoid Android ROM. Works great so far.
The link I posted above was only helpful because it gave the correct information to get SDK. CWM was working but would not make backups properly and the root zip that is in the video would not allow my tablet root. It installed SuperUser but I still didn't have root.
I went ahead and flashed TWRP and I'm glad that I did because the UI is much better. Once TWRP was installed, all I did was flash a custom "rooted" ROM. PROFIT!
This is TWRP for the TF300T. Make sure that you read it completely because the blob file will need to be renamed to twrp.blob in order to be used. It tells you the cmd's that will need to be used also. Like I mentioned above, I used fastboot and it was easy as could be.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Yep. That's the only thing I didn't like about flashing and rooting...... the bootloader has to be unlocked 1st and that voids the warranty. From what I understand, it only voids the software, not the hardware warranty. I entertained the thought about keeping it stock but after a little debating, decided to modify. I'm glad I did.

Glad to hear it. This also makes it much easier for anyone to make ROMs and themes. Debloat is as simple as unzipping, removing from /system/app, rezip and flash.
You have to have an SDcard in the device for backup and install. FYI this makes it easier transfer it off for backup on your computer. That is always a good idea.

I've tried flashing this with TWRP as well as CWM and both give an error. CWM said it was expecting 4 args and got 5 but I can't seem to flash it. Took several attempts to complete the download as well, kept stopping halfway. Any mirror for this, I'm thinking the zip is being corrupted every time I download it.
I'll reup it.
No worries!

I don't understand how that can be unless you went from 4.1 down to 4.0.4 and the modem code was changed.
Its literally just deodexed. No library was changed. The boot.IMG is the same.
I'll try and run through why. Those would fail. They are working on my tab.....

Unroot needed for upgrade to latest stockrom?

I have the ATT skyrocket rooted and unlocked when I first got the phone in 2011, and is on 4.04. I remember that the post said that I must unroot if I want to upgrade the rom OTA from ATT. Is there any other way to upgrade to the latest stockrom without unroot? I cannot find the post I originally referenced to root/unlock.

^^ what he said. Just get the .tar file from sammobile.com and flash using Odin. You will lose root after this process.
If you want to update using kies (the update is not ota. You have to use kies. ) then s long as kies detects your phone and you have a stock recovery, you should be OK.
However, I believe that you will loose your apps and data with both the methids.. So just use Odin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Thank you very much. I should be able to re-root after the upgrade, correct? Or the lastest 4.1.2 cannot be rooted yet?
I have problem with Odin before, never got anything done with it. Let me try it this time.

Why would you unroot to do the update via Odin. I believe your logic is flawed here. Although I do agree an install would be expeditious via recovery, your argument is flawed.

Just FYI - I was on rooted stock, and just did the update with Kies without unrooting. Now i'm on JB unrooted as a result.
