OK, new to this so please be patient.
I am a UK 3G Xoom owner so obviously have some limitations.
Was looking to manually update to 3.1 using the "5/6 easy steps" method.
I then found the thread relating to using the Aussie 3.1 and the UK Xoom.
This seemed ideal for me as the SD support was in place (aside from the problems the update may be causing) and it would less manipulation.
So..(if you are still reading)..
Took the plunge and flashed stock Telstra images... done. No 3g but all else pretty much OK.
Unlocked and rooted....fine. Latest clockword mod and flashed recovery.
I have already pulled the databases i need for later.
Getting confident now...
followed the instructions as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15503902&postcount=261 and created backup folder.
transferred the three image files and the nandroid.md5
rebooted into recovery and selected the boot image.... fine.
selected system.img and error!
I recover using newest back and reboot is fine but root gone.
So where have I gone wrong?
I had the md5 mismatch error the second time I tried and resolved that to get boot.img in and that was fine. Again error on system.img.
I am very new to android but am learning quickly.
Can anyone see where i went wrong?

I had the MD5 issue, so instead of editing it on the PC which never worked, i copied over the md5 file onto the xoom then edited it in root explorer. Once I edited it in root explorer no more mismatch errors.
Once you have the AU image installed you have to use the rooted image with fastboot and that should give you root back.
After that I went to tiamat 1.1 3G and everything worked fine. One thing dont push the frankenrom build you will lose SDcard if you do.
Lordao
Thanks for replying to both threads! I appreciate it honestly.
So it is correct in saying you got Telstra 3.1 on with data showing but no connectivity. Then got Tiamat 1.1 on (this method is one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146153) and all was OK?
I tried using both edited nandroid.md5 and downloaded untouched (both via PC) but may try again and download via xoom only.
Onward and upward....

I got full connectivity on telstra str8 of the bat, i pushed back my telephony files on the telstra 3.1 but did not need to on the tiamat kernal 3G was working on 1st boot.
If you do not get provider from 3g on telstra go to networks and manually choose your provider it should kick in then.

yeeeehaaaa
success!
Uk 3g XOOM with rooted 3.1
Working sd card and some usb thumb drive access, still testing.
So far no noticeable battery issue, honestly!
Ok, I am still learning android and got confused about what exact processes were needed.
I am happy, if anyone wants, to set out my exact route to get to this stage. If you have got to the stage of using adb or flashboot then the process is really easy. If not, then I can include some basics in getting started.
To recap, my Uk 3g XOOM has working 3g, sd support, enhanced usb support, resizable widgets, the "files" apk for looking at sd (es file explorer is better) and so far battery seems fine.
Xoomtastic!
xoomtastic - how did you get access to your SD card on 3.0.1? I'm trying ot update to 3.1 or 3.2 as well, from the euro 3G, which doesn't have SD card support (hence my wanting to update!). Yet the 5-step thread you linked to says to copy files to the SD... only how?
This is the Stock 8.6.5.13 US update repackaged with:
* Clockworkmod support (It does not include CWM, but doesn't reflash the recovery partition either)
* Rooted (includes SuperUser.apk & su 3.0.0)
* Busybox (1.19.2)
This update worked fine on my TF101. I built it using the same method Roach2010 used to make his previous CWM-repacks so it should be ok. I have only tested this on my own tf101. Let us know when it works for yours too!
This will not work unless you have:
1. clockworkmod
2. STOCK firmware (root is fine)
3. the US or WW firmware
4. firmware 8.6.5.9
If this update will not apply, take note of which assert stopped the process. You probably applied some sort of mod to your transformer.
There was an issue in the initial release. If you downloaded it, delete it and download the new one.

The Update checker will verify all of the same files that the update verifies. It will not stop on the first error. This way, you can see ALL the files which will cause errors and fix them all at once without the tedious reboot / try update / reboot / fix problem / reboot / try update loop.

Seems you didn't edit the update-script to remove that check. Either way let me know how it goes. I made myself an cwm zip that I used to update my TF this afternoon. I didn't bother to add in SU seeing as though the update is just a patch and the TF should already be rooted.
@daoist If your new update.zip doesn't work let me know I'll upload mines and you can post it.
Hi,
I am still pretty new to all of this, I have rooted my TF, right now I have a US ver 8.6.5.9 rooted with CWM and I am getting the notification to update firmware.
Is this the file I need to update my TF and keep root, it looks to me like it is but I am not 100% sure, also I am not sure how to apply the patch.
To apply this do I use CWM? The step[s I think I need to do is
1. copy the file top my SD card,
2. Boot to CWM
3. choose install zip
4. pick the zip downloaded from this thread
5. then watch and make sure works, then reboot
OH, I have the netflix patch (libnvomx) file copied over the original in my TF, should I put the original back before trying ng this?
Is this correct?
thanks for any help and the file!!

You referring to the check that goes through and looks for mods and missing apps? Is it possible someone could upload a version that doesnt run that check? I replaced SustemUI and basically deleted everything I didnt need (and didnt back up individual files, just made a full backup) so it would take me a while to track down all of the APKs.
If I recall someone posted the .9 update without the check for the existing apps.
EDIT: I actually found a backup for my stock apps and copied all of them back over and its still failing. AWS.odex, first one (and its installed).

Yep, that's correct.
One note is because of how the TF handles storage, you want this in your /Removable/microSD. If you put it in /sdcard it's not actually in your sdcard.
When you reboot into CWM make sure to choose to pick a file from your sdcard, rather than just applying update.zip (in case you didn't actually name it update.zip)

The problem with removing the check is that this update is doing patching, rather than replacing files.
If you're just replacing files, you can skip the checks and it will work fine.
If you're patching files, if you skip the check, the patching process will not work (best case scenario). will leave your system in a quasi-updated state (middle case), or destroy the target file (worst case).
Maybe someone who's still on 8.5.6.9 can post their AWS.odex file for you to copy onto your device?
The issue is I have it back on my device, I found it, and the update is still hanging on that.

Hi,
Thanks for the help! It worked like a charm, no problems at all.
I am wondering now, do I need to update my CWM recovery, or do I just leave it how it is?
thanks for the file and help!!!
Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of the notification...
Has anyone noticed the web browser performance? Is it still checkerboard on display? Where it displays the page in chunks... and is this android 3.2.1? or just firmware update?
Worked fine on mine, Thx.

Would it be possible to remove the check and the patch? I am looking at the updater script, what I would love is to just remove its check and attempt at patching the bloatware.
For Example, the Check:
assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/Finsky.apk", "19a70336522820f20a9e1d9f065ae56a714aa7cf", "690dc80af4303cb2df1991de9d52c269211e1dcf"));
set_progress(0.116486);
assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/Finsky.odex", "fda5fbff54fc6c35b9210afd4a3b76b6a8862d83", "59412510a7d0a789b1e732dbffdc9feb3245e964"));
set_progress(0.119390);
And the Update:
apply_patch("/system/app/Finsky.apk", "-",
19a70336522820f20a9e1d9f065ae56a714aa7cf, 1070527,
690dc80af4303cb2df1991de9d52c269211e1dcf, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/Finsky.apk.p"));
set_progress(0.135043);
apply_patch("/system/app/Finsky.odex", "-",
fda5fbff54fc6c35b9210afd4a3b76b6a8862d83, 655760,
59412510a7d0a789b1e732dbffdc9feb3245e964, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/Finsky.odex.p"));
set_progress(0.138224);
If I didnt want it to update finksy (bad example but just one I grabbed) could I just delete everything above from the script? In the case of something like Zinio I dont even want the update since I nixed the underlying app.
I actually tried something like that but it failed immediately, no error. Im wondering if I havent zipped it up right.
Yeah, if you search through the update script for the name of the file that's erroring out, there's 2 places. First the assert, then the patch. Get rid of both and you're fine.
I'd google what those files are before you remove them from the script, just to be safe.
Just for example, Finsky is part of Market
Im wondering if there is something I am doing wrong or if there is a trick to zipping it back up. I tried removing those lines (for AWS, not Finsky ) and the update failed without an error (just aborted).
Im wondering, should I be leaving that set progress, zipping using a particular method?
The biggest problem I had was making sure the files were saved with unix line-endings. If you edited it in notepad or something like that it may have defaulted to windows line-endings.
Hi can you add this to 1st post:

If it gives you an error about some file check, edit update script and put a "#" before the line of that file.
Hallo, i have an XOOM 3G flashed as Xoom Wifi and i am trying to get the OTA Update file (URL or the downloaded file), but no success, i am using alogcat but i think i am missing some thing.
Plz help.

I assume you're referencing the OTA update for the 4.1.1 update? If so it's only be rolled out to the GSM Galaxy Nexuses at this point I believe, not the Xoom yet.
However there are now Customer JB Roms in the Development section you can take for a test drive.
Thanx.
But no i mean the 4.0.4 or any OTA update.
WBR
If you were prompted to download the OTA download it. Then when it is done say you will install it later. Navigate to your /cache/ folder in your root directory (must be Rooted to do that) and you will find the OTA update. Copy it to your SD card and it is yours. If it isn't in /cache/ try the /temp/ folder. But I usually find it in cache.

Thanx.
aLogcat shows that it is in /Cache.
i was not rooted that is why i did not see the downloaded OTA File.
thanx

I've seen posts in other forums about where to find files and how to do this with other devices but nothing specific to the TF700. After installing the latest system update (4.2.1) I found a lot of apps, including system apps. were crashing and the whole thing was running incredibly slow. I went into the settings and did a factory reset, reinstalled the apps and set everything up again but the same thing is still happening.
I read somewhere that flashing the system rom (which I'm guessing reinstalls the system files) might be a way to get things working again. I've never done this before, and I know things can go badly if you do it wrong, so I'm hoping someone can walk me through it, including letting me know which files I should be using.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Download the full Asus firmware from Asus site, unzip the file then copy the unzipped file to the root of your micro sdcard, you should see a notification to upgrade, do the upgrade.

I have tried to do that but the Build Number that I have isn't on the Asus site. After upgrading my build number is JOP40D.ww_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329
All the ones on the Asus site have 2012 as the year, and I even tried the one that matched everything else and just get an error message after it starts installing.
Any ideas?

Try this method:
Download this from Asus " Version V10.6.1.14.4(WW) "
You have to decompress the ZIP File. Then you have the actual update ZIP file, then rename the File to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" (without quote).
Reformat your micro sdcard to fat32 (make sure you do this) and copy the File to the root of a FAT32 formated microSD Card and insert into your Tab.
Now, reboot into recovery (hold volume down and power button and release when see white text on the screen) and the update install will begin without any verification of Software Version.

Hello peoples.
I just found this out from T-Mobile Website.
Android version 4.4.2
Build number C2GUMG1
Your phone can update to build number C2CUMC3:
Starting November 4, 2015, you may be prompted to update automatically (OTA).
That was only a few days ago. Someone has to have a phone that's not updated yet.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-13470
We need that update desperately
We can use it to fix Boot looped phones due to corrupting the ROM.
We can use it to potentially build a modified stock rom that will flash.
I know from the recovery.log in the Cache folder that the update zip will be downloaded to ".download" folder. Do notice the " ." it means its a hidden folder. You can view in linux pressing. ctrl - H.
Root Browser or es-file explorer might be able to see the hidden folder.
download the update but pull the battery so it dont install.
Copy that sucker.
Im pretty sure it deletes the update after it installs.
Also maybe safer I have seen people use ADB and start logcat to get the actual download url.
Please someone do this. If i can get my phone back up im working on building a rom.
