many thanks and wating your reply
Yes you're right, but if you want to try you can use team eos 4 custom rom... there are the nightlies version but it still full of bugs, and the thread isn't created yet maybe teameos still working on it. You can use the team eos 3 jelly bean 4.1 (stable)
Edit: some words mistake

Sorry I just give you wrong answer, but you can go to development thread.. in my country there's a forum that explain how to root and how if the device bricked, or another what are you asking. I'm from indonesia.

If you can buy a newer one then go for that... 4.2 you can run but getting 3G is not something we can promise. I myself have MZ601 and I am using a custom ROM that is meant for MZ604 and hence I do not have 3G.
There will be no further development for this, so you might as well look for newer tabs if you want latest build, else you can definitely buy one

few things
1 - xoom is 2 years old, and will no longer receive official updates. all updates from now on will be through custom roms brought to us by wonderful developers like Team EOS and Team Rogue.
2 - there is still good support, just check out this forum. lots of stickies on what you need to know. use the search function and you should find everything you need.
3 - yes. my current xoom mz601 is running 4.2.1 thanks to the developers mentioned above. since it is from the US and currently i am also in egypt, i have to 3g service, so i just flash the wifi only roms. Search the forums, there are plenty of guides on rooting and flashing custom roms.
The Motorola Xoom is bound to receive it's final update in Jellybean 4.1 or 4.2 beyond that it's doubtful that Motorola will update. Unless they are not releasing another table this year.
you can check here: https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c
US xooms will get 4.1 and thats it.
Yup. I read bout it yesterday. It seemed to slip under my radar. Guess it's time to unlock and root to get updates. That's the beauty of android. Always an alternative.

I can't answer all of your questions, but look at the link in my signature...guide to rooting...and read it thoroughly...it may answer some. You will have to unlock the Xoom, following instructions after setting up adb on your computer...it's really pretty simple but you need to be prepared and follow directions...then you will enjoy your Xoom to the fullest.
What's the latest official firmware update on this device? Is it on ICS? Also, are there any 100% working Jelly Bean/CM10 roms?

Since you're in the US, you're not going to get the official ICS quite yet. Though, it will be very soon. Motorola says in Q3, which is rapidly coming to a close. Users in India have already gotten the OTA to ICS. So, not much longer for us here in the States.
Also, we have a CM10 ROM, but it's being fine tuned. There's still a few broken functions (look for the thread in the development section), but with the talents and hard work from our development team here for the A2, it'll get there, and be killer...
Sent from my fingers to your peepers
It would have been quicker to have a quick read of the forums, but anyway. Like Apex said, ICS OTA is on it's way to the US, India has it, and we have the leak and the official OTA, you can't go back to GB (yet?) if you flash the final OTA version of ICS, so we are all being urged NOT to flash the OTA yet and to only use the leak until further notice, there are a few roms but the bootloader is LOCKED. I can't tell you much about the device besides specs and things I've read as mine is coming in about 12 hours . But do yourself a favor and have a peek around the forums, specifically the development forums.

So recently i bought an HTC One S with an S3 processor which its country is of Asia. I am currently at europe. I still am on Android 4.0.3 and there doesnt seem to be an update for my phone. Now i know that 4.0.4 and also JB are rolling out, but not for my device. Is there anything I can do to solve this ?
Thanks :laugh:
I live in a country where HTC sell the S3 processor only. I had my cousin sent me HOS from US, big difference.
You might want to trade for an S4 though.
In the meantime you can search the development forum and look for an S3 ROM.
Not many but there are some.

HOS stands for Htc One S and a Rom is basically an operating system for your device that is nothing like stock, has tweaks here and there things that stock doesnt, and if you root you will.still be able to receive updates but you have to relock the phone and some other things I can't remember then you can apply the update, basically you can't apply update to a rooted phone its just gonna give you and installation error then reboot your phone I think but that's basically it for your questions, hopefully it was helpful to you

Thanks for the information !
A friend told me that if i root the phone i can change my firmware from Asia to Europe where i live so that i can recieve updates accordingly to my phone. Is this true ?
Also is there a detailed noob instructions for me to follow and learn more about rooting the phone and installing customs ROMS etc. ?
Thanks

If you root, you can manually install all sorts of fun stuff. I think if you want to remain as close to stock and receive "official" updates, super cid is something you might wanna read about. There's a thread in the Dev Section by Torxx that I used to root my S4 you might wanna look over and see if that's for you. Make sure everything you decide to do is compatible with your S3 first though.
Edit: there's also another guide in the general section

Thanks friend. I will search in the forums and take a look about what to do and how to change my firmware. I still need to learn stuff about android and root.
Still am on everything stock on 4.0.3 and looking to change my Firmware from Asia to Europe. Further assistence would be AWESOME
My device is a HK version of XT910 and has flashed the device for the euro 4.1 rom.
Unfortunately it cannot search any 2g/3g signal and thus i wanna flash back the HK4.0 rom to repair the phone.
I heard it is not possible to do so as the bootloader has been upgraded which cannot be downgraded afterwards.
I know XDAs are one of the best developers for smartphone, so wanna find some support here.
Deep thanks if guidance can be provided for my case

Sorry I can't answer your question, but I hope you can answer mine - what Xoom model do you have? I have the UK Xoom 2 ME MZ607 and can't find anything about running Jelly Bean, it's @ ICS 4.0.4.
Are you sure about yours running stock JB, and if so can you give me some more details?
hi dumpystig
Here is info on my Xoom 10.1 Early Model UK wifi
MZ604, Android Version reverted back to 4.0.4 from 4.2.2
Build Number 1.7.1-45
Kernel 2.6.39.4.00033
I had 4.2.2 running, and i put back to stock rom for sale
but that did not happen, so left at 4.0.4
I since purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" Wifi
Hope that clears anything..
