Hello. I just bought my motorla xoom. Its a pretty old tablet but i still prefer this than those galaxy tabs.
When i try to update, it says it has the latest version but then in the system it is still 3.2. How do you update this tablet? Is it not allowed yet?
Information on my tablet is:
Model Number:
MZ604
Android Version:
3.2
Firmware configuration version:
GAS_ASIA_HUBBLEWIFIHKTWNGEN_P007
Kernel version:
2.6.36.3-00042-g3c1a41e
[email protected] #1
Build Number
H.6.6-27
I hope someone can help me.. im just new at this..
I just bought mine too. It arrived today actually. It came with version 3.1, and, as soon as I went to software updates under Settings, it updated to version 4.0.4
I believe it depends on which country you are.
Unless you want to GEDify your Xoom (as I will do very very soon), then you will receive always the newest updates directly from Google.
BTW, I'm from Brazil.

It is rolled out to everyone in every country, bot NOT at the same time. One day you will get ICS and then JB...
Gedify comes from GED which stands for “Google Experience Device”. A “Google Experience Device” receives its updates directly from Google, without any customization or modification from the device manufacturer.
This is only possible if you flash the US version of Xoom's rom.
MZ604 here in Brazil, there in Philippines and in the US, is MZ604, so there's no problem doing that.
I'm doing it tomorrow!
BTW, if I helped you, hit the Thanks button!
It's done! And Jelly Bean is freaking amazing!

Hey man, i sent my xoom back since i had some problems with my macro shots.. they dont seem to focus well. and when i try it with flash, i only get white pictures. is that normal?
Can you also send me links on how to root-flash-GEDify xoom? if possible though without unlocking bootloader... thanks man...
Unfortunately I won't be able to help you with this... I rarely take photos... even with my Sony smartphone that has an awesome camera.
But I can take some photos to test and see if this is normal. Then I post here my views.
Rooting your xoom won't be possible without unlocking the bootloader. Unless you search for methods using exploits. But those methods didn't work for me but it might be worth a try. So unlocking the bootloader is the best way to root. It's save, pretty easy and you also have the ability to install a custom Rom later on to get jelly bean (I am currently running the cm10 nightlies)

Can you share your Firmware Version, Kernel Version and Build Number as well? After updating to 4.0.4, did your Xoom still have the "Quickoffice HD" app? What I have read from the forums is that GEDifying your Xoom would loose this app since the US-based Xoom does not have Quickoffice HD buddled with the device.

I have an Acer Iconia 710-B1 with Android version 4.1.2, I wonder if it is possible to update it to the latest version of Android. If yes, how can I do?

You can try to install a custom rom, they usually have the latest version. I don't know if that model is supported anymore.

You will have to wait till they release the KITKAT version for your device. When they do, you can do a software update. Till then you are free to use aa KITKAT based rom for your device

I had some problems and could only just come here.
The KitKat version will work fine on my Acer Iconia B1-710?
Where can I download it?

flashing a random KK Rom will hard brick your phone.
Hi I'm new on here so I hope I'm asking in the correct place!
I have two questions, firstly my RAZR HD has jelly bean system version 98.21.26002.XT925.Orange.en.GB
It states on the Motorola website that only phones running a retail version will receive the ota upgrade to kitkat....
Now it seems I don't have a retail software but there is no retail software for the uk RAZR HD just the orange software so is this the retail version and will I receive the ota upgrade eventually for my razr HD ??.
Hope someone can help thanks.
Can't believe this post has had so many views but no replies!
Is the question impossible to answer?
Is it because I'm from the uk and most of the users on hear seem to be from other countries?

hm just went to the moto website,
under orange: no moto razr hd;
retail; yes to kit kat.
tricky, tricky,
id suggest you contact orange to see if they will flash retail version or not;
maybe moto would make a retail ROM and then pass on to carriers to customize? I'm not so sure,
"Confirm you have a Retail model. Go to your device’s Settings menu and select About Phone. If you don’t see Retail (or RET) under System Version, go back and select your carrier."
best bet is that you're out of luck;
if you really want kk when its released just flash it...
Thanks for the reply djvita.
Yes flashing is an option but I'm not familiar with how to do that at the moment and then there's the problem of finding the correct Rom to flash for the uk??.
Wonder if anyone has received the official ota upgrade to kitkat yet on the RAZR HD?

Once kk is out it will not take long for an xml to be posted.
Then you can rsd lite it to your 925. Learn how to run rsd lite.

Backup your device and use RSDLite to flash retail firmware http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=6&file=105
Once you are done and you connect to the internet, Kitkat will be available. Do this on your own responsibility.
Still no kitkat ota here in the uk
you dont have to wait man if you must have it now. Unlock your bootloader via moto website if you haven't done so already. Then hop on the XT925 UPGRADE thread and flash away. KK is better than JB for sure.
Hi,
i've an XT925 purchased from Orange UK.
Few month ago i've unlock bootloader and i've flash CM11. I want receive official OTA update so I had thought of restore the old Jellybean 4.1.2 firmware using RSD Lite. Will I receive the OTA update I also (when it is released) or should I do some other operation?
Thanks and best Regards
You will and should have. I think Orange released their update. If not, you can flash it if you have stock rtfr installed.
I've had a rough time updating mine as well... It's been a nightmare so far.
What did you do?
Hi all, just to let you all know I've finally got the ota update to android version 4.4.2 kitkat.
Got the update about 1:00pm today wed 8th october.
Only took about 10mins to update and everything seems fine so I'm pleased.
System version 180.46.117.XT925.Orange.en.GB
Congrats

I would be immensely grateful.
Thanks a lot and Best Regards

Hi Everyone, I hope this is not a repeat.
I just spent several hours trying to figure out how to ADB connect to my new Kindle 8.9 (6th Generation running 5.3.1). The standard Google SDK USB Drivers dont work.
In the end I found that Amazon has released a new set of drivers that work only for the Fire 8. You can find them here:
developer.amazon.com/public/resources/development-tools/ide-tools/tech-docs/05-setting-up-your-kindle-fire-tablet-for-testing
Then I used Rootjunky to do the rest. THanks

So I followed your instructions for HD 8 6th Gen, downloaded the drivers from Amazon & installed them. Ran RootJunky to install Google Play Store - a voila - it works! I then updated to 5.3.1.1 and Play store still works just fine.
I didn't venture to attempt to root with the RootJunky SuperTool. Anyone try that yet with success??

Hi, I have a very noob question: If I install Google Play Store, I could have some problems with the OS updates in the future?

Nope. Google Play Store should not affect OS Updates. Once we are able to root, however, it could effect OS Updates or if an update goes through you may lose root. But, that's not an issue at present because there's not a good root method for the 6th Generation (unless someone's found one).
I keep looking around and still, it seems, there is not root method for the Fire HD 8 - 6th Generation (2016). Anyone else find one??
Damn, also I tried to block all updates using Netblock, my Fire Hd 8 6th generation found and isntalled an update today, anyone else? I was hoping there would be a root solution sooner...
Updated to 5.3.2 on my HD 8 (6th generation) - still not able to root. Sadness sets in.
So, I must be confused by having read posts about the "5th generation" HD8 and not the 2016 model, but I thought I read that it CAN be rooted?
Is it true that the 2016 Kindle Fire HD8 cannot be rooted? Mine is on OS 5.3.1 and it's telling me that update to 5.3.1.1 is "ready to install".

Don't install 5.3.1.1
@MyCephei is looking for 5.3.1 (and I wouldn't mind it either since my BF special arrived yesterday with 5.3.1.1 installed).
You just need someone to tell you how to pull the rom and post it so other can downgrade to 5.3.1 and await Kingroot solution.
Just got the Fire HD8 Gen 6 [2016]. Wondering if anyone has seen the method to root?
There are things on there such as different language keyboard, Google Play store that I would like to have.

Anyone know when/if Android 10 is coming to RETUS/Retail US? I'm on the XT1955-5 and this seems (from what I've seen) to be the most common model. I'm hoping that it will come soon because I like some of the newer features in Android 10, alongside the fact that the Settings will no longer burn my retinas. Thanks!
Unfortunately, there's no android 10 for retus yet... I'll let you know if i get any news about it
I'm in the USA but have retin. I've got the update and a June 1st patch for security already.
I have the June security update. Are you saying you got the Android 10 update via OTA?

Probably right. I guess there is a kind of work around to that by flashing certain imgs from another retail to retus. I haven't done it yet, but it sounds a lot like what happened a few yrs ago with my atrix hd and the razr hd. Atrix got left on 4.1.2, razr got 4.4.2, could flash some imgs from razr, without touching the bootloader, and i had moto's official 4.4.2 on my atrix. I believe its the same concept here with retus, but i haven't tried it yet.

Guess I'm lucky. I got the retin (India rom I guess) my phone updated to Android 10 about a month ago and I'm in Utah.
PSA: You can install the generic RETAIL firmware. It's much safer than flashing any region specific stuff.
