I have a factory unlocked n1 that ive only owned for about 3 months.
I noticed its still on FRG83 (not the latest FRF91).
Will I have to do anything special to get the 2.3 update? (Im in the UK if that makes a difference).
FRG83D is the latest, not FRF91.

Thanks, it came up with 'check in succeeded', but nothing else (this was 5 mins ago).
I take it that it doesnt matter that the nexus one wasnt ever offered on my network (o2 uk), and the phone actually polls google servers?
It doesn't matter at all, just have to wait patiently, or force it (as above).

Can't you just update using the link provided above?
Im in the uk, running FRG83D and expecting the 2.3 update today. (also on o2)
Could it be my simcard? It works with 3g but its quite old still...
Also do I need to register my IMEI or anything?
Rest of the phone says this.
Code:
android version
2.2.1
baseband version
32.50.00.32u_5.12.00.08
kernel version
2.6.32.9-ge9111ea

You've got a weird kernel there? And the Korean baseband... my guess is your phone has had the KT FRF91 passimg flashed at some point, which would explain your lack of update.
That is very weird!
Are there any instructions on how to flash the kernel and baseband back to UK defaults?
Also what is the KT FRF91 passimg about, is it anything dodgy / something I should be concerned about?
Edit: I sent my phone to HTC last week and it's come back with a different IMEI...i guess that explains the korean part.
It's not really dodgy, or anything to worry about, it was an easy way for European N1 owners to update to Froyo without unlocking the bootloader back in the day. It does mean you'll lag behind with updates though.
I don't think you'll be able to get back to the proper Google firmware without rooting/unlocking your bootloader due to the 0.35 HBOOT (you can check if you have this or not by turning the phone off, holding in the tackball and powering on, the second line will say either HBOOT-0.33.0012 or HBOOT-0.35.0017).
Ive got the Hboot 0.35.0017 on FRG83D, i got the FRG83 -> FRG83D OTA update when everyone else did. I dont think this is his problem
It's not a problem as such, but it will prevent downgrading to get onto the Google version.
Ok its says HBOOT 35.0017.
If i root the bootloader, can I then flash my way back to 'Default' kernels / radios?
Yes, easily, you might not even have to wipe it in fact.
You use fastboot to flash the system.img and boot.img from the FRG33 image on shipped-roms.
Ok thats great, thanks for all your help.
Just to re-cap, install android sdk / fastbook on my pc, then flash boot.img then system.img from FRG33?
Exactly, although I lied, you will have to wipe.
I forgot that unlocking automatically wipes the phone.
This How-To is designated to all people whom would like to:
update their Xoom 2 to ICS.
reset their Xoom 2 to Factory Defaults due to guarantee.
debrand their Xoom 2, e.g. Vodafone or Telstra Stock image.
Credit goes to kent_lkc who managed to get the fastboot files and shared it with the community. I just wrote the How-To to make it easier to use.
Hint 1: After 1st flash you'll have a fresh image of Honeycomb 3.2.2 (build version 0.281.8.MZ616.Retail.en.EU, no root!) Additionally, you'll loose all your personal data!
Hint 2: This How-To is only for Xoom 2 MZ616 (UMTS + WIFI)!
The procedure has already been proven working with thit ee following stock base images:
Xoom 2 MZ616 with:
0.268.6.MZ616.Retail.en.EU
0.281.4.MZ616.Vodafone.en.EU
0.281.4.MZ616.Retail.en.EU
Please let me know if the procedure has worked for you and which image version you had, so that I'm able to update this list continuously!
Pre-requisites:
You've downloaded and installed Motorola Driver: Click me!
You need this file: Mirror 1 (Google Docs, thx to Grauwiler) | Mirror 2 (Rapidshare, thx to GlennH) MD5: 385239a2e85c4368e9137ca7195034da
You need RSD Lite 5.7 or newer: RSD Lite 5.7
Step 1:
Install RSD Lite and unzip 0.281.8.MZ616.Retail.en.EU update file into a folder.
Step 2:
Enable USB Debugging in Settings -> Application -> Development!
Boot your Xoom 2 into Bootloader: Shut down Xoom 2, press and hold both VOL UP + VOL DOWN, then press Power button until bootloader shows up. To select use VOL DOWN, mark "AP Fastboot" and confirm with VOL UP.
Step 3:
Start RSD Lite and connect Xoom 2 MZ616 with your computer. Then open the included XML file in the folder where you unzipped the update file. Under connected devices, choose your Xoom 2 and press Start. Happy flashing.
Step 4:
Your device restarts two times. After that your Xoom 2 is now successfully on 0.281.8.MZ616.Retail.en.EU!
Hint 3: People which would like to unroot or debrand are finished now, every one else has to continue!
Step 5:
Hint: No-rooters continue with Step 7!
Re-Root your Xoom 2 using Dan Rosenbergs Xoom Root Exploit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502589
Step 6:
Very important! Update Superuser to the current version, please update the binary as well!
Download OTA Rootkeeper and backup your root privilege.
Step 7:
Look if there's a system update available in Settings -> About Tablet -> System Updates
Step 8:
Download the update and let it install, there's no need to temporary unroot. After the update is finished, restore root using OTA Rootkeeper.
DONE!
Hint 4: I assume no responsibility if you brick your device!

Where can i check the baseband? In the "About Tablet"? On this i have: System version, model number, android version, firmware configuraion version, baseband version, baseband configuration version, kernel version and build numer. The most similar to these numbers is build numer (1.6.0M_272.18_MZ616).
Ty and sorry for anything.
EDIT
I just figure out. Its the 1.272.18.MZ616.AmericaMovil.en.BR. But what retail is that? There is no mobile company in Brazil with such a name.

Not sure if this works for your model. You do have an 616, thats right, but it seems that Motorola has signature checks that prevent flashing into different regions.
e.g. have tried to flash US Image onto UK Xoom 2, Motoboot succeeded, but everything else failed with Preflash Validation Failure. Flashed french image for testing worked.
questions
Hi. My xoom2 is now 0.281.4.MZ616.Retail.en.EU. Bought from Orange Romania but it doesn't seem branded. I want to try this in order to get ICS cause it seems my particular version is not getting the OTA notification.
A couple of questions:
- Can i ever get back to my stock ROM and de-root in case I need warranty?
- If flashing fails will I have a brick due to the locked bootloader?
Thanks.

Just finished steps 1-7. Step 8 in progress. No problems till now. Step 8 is pure Motorola job, so if something will fail, it could fail anyway.
Had exactly the same FW as you.

If your particularly stock image fastboot firmware will be available, yes, then you're able to flash back to stock.
If flashing fails, your Xoom will only boot to bootloader = softbrick. But if stock image available, you can fix this as well.

FASTBOOT FILE IS VALID FOR 0.281.4.MZ616.Vodafone.en.EU
Sorry for this simple question.
The thread said that the fasboot file is valid for the xoom 2 mz616 version 0.281.4.MZ616.Vodafone.en.EU.
Does it means that if I flash my Xoom 2 system version 0.281.4.MZ616.Vodafone.en.EU, I will have a XOOM 2 system version 0.281.8.MZ616.Retail.en.EU and after this I will be able to update to Ics?
Sorry again for this basic questión. Thanks for your help.

and I can HAPPILY CONFIRM that everything worked as described! :laugh:
Many thanx to all who made this happen... :victory: :victory:
A HUGE FU TO MOTOROLA
upgrade to ICS
Worked like a charm.
I started with 0.268.6.MZ616.Retail.en.EU and after flashing 0.281.8.MZ616.Retail.en.EU I was offered the official ICS update I was waiting for.
I don't have to mention, that I rooted before upgrading to ICS, installed OTA Rootkeeper and now happily have a rooted ICS version.
Thank you so much.

Aohh, ok thanks for the information.
Does this include all the original software that comes pre-installed on the shield tablet.
How do you flash these updates?
Edit: Nvm, Realised you gotta boot into recovery via USB debugging, using the Shield portable drivers. and then "Adb sideload --.zip file"
Side note, If anymore OTA links come up please sure! thanks!

is ther an international wifi only variant?
Doesn't matter. Just noticed that the North america wifi is the same one launched worldwide.
So is the modem and wif the variant with voice call capability? Then this would be the phablet of the year!
I flashed it, and haven't noticed all that much, WIFI signal seems fine for me, it seems little smoother. but that could just be placebo, no crashing and no overheating. been using this for about 3 hours hooked up to my TV playing PSP emulator. And only lost about 15% battery, currently using the Optimize profile for the shield.

I believe so. I had bought my phone from my friend and he said it was unlocked. The TMO I believe indicates it is T-mobile but it can be used on other networks. So as long as it has the XT1053 and the correct build number you should be fine.
I can verify as well. I have the exact same build and that's the correct firmware.
You can download it straight from Motorola....
What's the difference between KXA21.12-L1.29.1 and KXA21.12-L1.29.1-2? And does anybody have an alternate download link because Motorola needs to approve your request to download.

What'd you use to root 107-75? I updated to it as soon as I received the phone, but didn't check if there was a root available prior and I couldn't find an updated stock ROM to patch the boot.img. No luck going to an earlier version, but maybe I was doing something wrong.
