Does anybody happen to have the stock firmware for the 4.0.4 build? I can find the RSD easy enough, but I was looking for the files you used to be able to download from Motorola. I have the 3.2.2 firmware files I downloaded a long time ago, but was hoping to cut out the several updates that take place. I don't seem to be able to find the Xoom anymore on the Motorola Dev site, or I would just grab the files myself. No luck with google either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

moto only released one set of files and 3.2.2 are it. You have to flash them and then let it update. It sucks but that's they way moto wants it.
Good to know. At least I know I'm not missing out. Also I have the RSDs if I get too impatient.

I have a question about my phone. I'm running a custom ROM and the update for Gingerbread is out. Now since my phone was in my pocket I didn't realize the message popped up to update it and now it's downloading the new update. Can I stop it? If so how. Or should I let it download? Or will that brick my phone? Thanks for the help. Using a Droid X by the way.

no worries, the update will just fail to install
no problem
Thanks guys! Now one more question. I am ultimately trying to go back to stock so I can get Gingerbread. Since I'm using ROM Manager(I've only used two ROMs), I use the oldest date to restore my phone back to "stock" root correct? And then do I use Z4 root to "un"-root my phone? Appreciate it. (Droid X btw).
Hey everyone!
I just got a motorola xoom in Canada. I just found out that the 3.1 update is not out for Canada yet
Is there anywhere I could get it onto my xoom? Help would be appreciated.
thanks!
If you have a wifi only xoom you can flash the US stock images and update to 3.2. Take a look in the dev section. You will find what your looking for. Make sure you read everything before you do anything. Good luck.

In attempting to root, I ended up putting 3.01 on the Xoom by accident because I had the 'Stuck at Motorola logo' problem. Now I'm back to the Xoom desktop, but I have an older version of the OS and the OTA update won't work. I want to get back to my 3.2 glory and I don't care so much about rooting anymore.
So if anyone has any tips to help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I've searched around but I can't find the answer to this one.
Xoom
3.0.1
Kernel: 2.6.36.3-g2a4197e

But I know I had a different Build Number all the way up until I had the Motorola logo stuck screen.
Thanks In Advance!

If you are completely stock and unrooted, you you should get the OTA updates. Being unlocked is OK, so don't relock, because if you decide to root later, unlocking again would cause you to lose all your data.
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.
Let me first say hello I am new to this forum. I am new to rooting/flashing when it comes to androids. I have a Verizon Motorola Droid Razr HD XT926 which I am trying to fix for a friend. It is stuck on the red eye and will not boot. I understand I will need to re-flash the software, and I understand the steps I need to take to re-flash using RSD lite. My problem is I cannot find a download for the stock rom, nor am I 100% sure which one I need. My friend has no interest in rooting, so I just need it back to stock. I do not know what software version is currently on the phone. Is there a way to find out with the phone not booting? Or does this even matter? Can I just flash the latest official version? And that is my main problem, which version to use, and where to find the download for it. I have searched around for some time and cannot find a definite answer on this. Thanks alot, any help with this would be amazing!
Your best bet is to just flash the latest one. You can get it from here: http://www.drdevs.com/devs/FXZ-files/XT926 (Droid RAZR HD)/ . The last one on the list is the latest.
