UK Xoom now getting 3.1 OTA

Just brought a Xoom today and after trying to find ways to get 3.1 manually installed, low and behold I reboot and get greeted with a Üpdate found - 3.1
Being a new xoom, i need to charge it for a bit first before it would let me!
So if you have a UK Xoom, reboot and check your updates

What store has open on a sunday?
If its true that you got the update is great news.
Do you have wifi-only or 3G?

You sure? I got nothing here on my 3g / wifi

Nothing here on Wifi model.

Can anybody confirm this?

Sure it wasn't an US import?
Nothing for me so far...

Better not be, after I wasted most of my Saturday night rooting and installing the US update

Please can you check it wasn't 3.0.1
Im in uk and got nothing so far.

that's what I thought it might be - but UK Xooms (Wifi at least) all started at 3.0.1 out the box.
As no one else confirmed this it's probably a US import I guess...?

I think they ship with 3.0.1, don't they? I've bought two (returned the first due to screen problems) and both had 3.0.1 when I first booted them.

I think this is someone's cruel joke
Pics or it didn't happen!

just spoke to my friend who works at carphone warehouse, part of the geeksquad and he says its not out in the uk for another 2 weeks (fully) but will be starting to roll out from tomorrow.
Whether this is 100% accurate not too sure

I guess this would be for the 3G model? I hope Wifi roll-outs begin soon and I get it soon... Patience is not my greatest virtue

no it isn't a joke and it was a device brought today in PCWorld, so its not an import as suggested. All I did was restore to factory settings, added my gmail account and connected to wifi. It instantly found the update and I'm now on 3.1.
I have no need to lie, I'm a regular poster and although a new to the xoom...I know android.
What was so annoying was I had been trying to root it to get 3.1 but after bootloop I had to get the firmware from Motorola UK, reflash the boot and system.imgs and recovery.img and was back to a full OEM stock xoom. Whether that has anything to do with it, I couldn't tell you.
Anyway hope that. Explains a bit more.
Why does the XDA app FC once you login? Hoped 3.1 would sort that as even with the browser ,XDA lags.

How did you manage to get hold of a copy of stock firmware? Don't think its available yet. Please share the link if you got it. Thanks.

Hmm. They haven't released the UK system image yet, have they? Is it possible you got US firmware and the update came as a result of that?
When you booted up did the language screen say English or UK English?

Cool. You should upload your system.img , if you get a chance. I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it.

Something is quite weird here, no screenshot, no upload. Fishy...

Unbrick A500 without Chinese Update.zip

Hey guys,
Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but I managed to unbrick my A500 using this Update.zip
http://www.filesonic.com/file/958397621/acer_a500_0.000.00_1.122.01_emea_gen5_update.zip.html
It only has English, French and Arabic language support.

Interesting! Where'd you get this file?

unbrick tablet
Mine is a USA model. would this work?

I randomly stumbled across this while doing a Google search.
I tried flashing it on my Australian model (which I think is the same as the US) and it works fine.

wait, do you mean it supports Arabic in menus and reads and writes Arabic with no issues ?
please answer this because I'm so looking for something like this

Edit: I hate filesonic, so sloooooooooow.
I will upload it to multiupload when I download it. Here's the link: http://www.multiupload.com/D3A2DU7X4D

What I don't understand is why files like these are NOT OFFICIAL from Acer ???

THANK YOU...I accidently deleted the wrong App Folder and my Acer Froze but I installed this Update but the problem I'm having now is that my Wifi either doesn't work or it can't connect to my 3G tether from my Droid 2....Does anybody else have Wifi Issues?

thanks a lot dr1337 for showing us the arabic support and finding this file
and thanks to you too mr.r9 for the multiupload link
now I can show off with my Iconia

I flashed this image to get out of a boot loop. It worked but now I have no lock screen and the home button doesn't work.

Try doing a factory reset.

now i have the chinese update.zip installed,can i overwrite with the engl./arab update.zip
ok,it works,
now i have the market back.
how do I get the update on Android 3.1
thnx to dr1337
but i need the german update.zip for complete restore

I am having a similar issue. I used this to get up US version unbricked and it worked, but now I am unable to update the tab to any of the newer versions. I have manually downloaded the 141.07 and tried to flash it and get and error about signature verification failed. any way around this now.

so I am guessing the update I tried to get before I realized my tab got bricked because I renamed the phone files I won't get it after flashing this update? I really would like the update that supposdly came out may26.

That worked

Where did you download the update?

Acer needs to put out a system recovery image with this Tablet. Their computers have them. The hoops we have to jump through to get OUR hardware working are ridiculous. Hell you can load a restore image on a freaking IPAD, but not this ?

a flashable factory recovery image should come with the tablet just like recovery partitions on some PCs.
Especially since the Acer update screwed up my tablet. All I had done is run gingerbreak and installed some screencap apps.
I hope the 3.1 update is better

Andoid 2.4 Soju

Hi Guys,
I got today a Nexus S and it has apperently a Developer Firmware.
It says :
Android - Version
2.4
Build-Number
soju-userdebug 2.4 GRI06B 88106 test-keys
In Fastboot Mode it says :
Lock State - Unlocked
Here´s my question, is it possible to root this Nexus without damage and putting a CM Rom on it?
Thanks for the help!

I don't know where you got your Nexus S at, but OpenSoju is a Rom here on XDA that is at version 0.2.4 right now. I think you phone may already be rooted so no harm in putting CM on it. Here's a link to the Soju Rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080009

Definotely wouldnt flash anything yet. Dump system first? sure some other nexus users would love to get tgeir hands on that

Oops, I thought he was mistaken. Sounds like you got your hands on something quite useful. Maybe we can get some 2.4 goodness.

Early 2.3.4 builds were labeled 2.4. He got an engineering build that's likely an early build of 2.3.4 - especially looking at the versioning. There was a thread on this a while back and someone at Google listed their email to contact about this (IMEI, location received from) so they could get you on a proper build as the engineering builds will never receive the OTA(s). I actually received one NIB from Best Buy Mobile on a swap from my original device back in December.

Uhm well i managed to get clockwork mod recovery running and could provide a backup of the image if anyones interested in.
Update:
Oh and another thing... is it now safe to instal CM Mod Rom on this handset or may i **** somthing up by doing so?

Indeed it might be very useful especially for those who have the imei messed up.
Please dump the files if you can

Exactly which radio is it?
I'm sure a lot of us would be very happy to get a system dump.
As for the question regarding being CM7-ready... Yes, sounds like it is. But give us a dump first! Please???

i´ve another stupid question.. did the dump and had already set up a few things like marketplace, google account , facebook etc.. is that stuff also contained in the dump .. because if yes i would have to do a factory reset and dump again
Update:
I love it to ask stupid questions and then figuring out by myself.. seems like i have to do anyway a full reset / factory reset , and make a backup
Gonna upload the image in a few minutes!

Lol. None of your info will be in the dump. You are fine.

Indeed, if you have backed up your rom with all your settings, these are kept. You should factory reset n backup again please.
Concerning the radio, can you tell us the version? Its the baseband in settings.

Not sure why you guys are telling him to a system dump or whatever because it was done in the past. A person encountered the same thing,

I have a NS4G, I had no idea whether this was something important or not. But I think I would have been an idiot to tell him to flash CM7 without dumping the system first.

Could be preparation for ICS, Although that is just a guess.
Anytime i see anything about an update i just keep thinking it's ICS!!
Can't wait for it.

probably the one hand keyboard update

So XLA4 is the big update they're pushing out to everyone?
I was wondering what it was.

Yep, same here ... Mine's an unbranded, unlocked UK note (XEU) and I'm getting nothing through Kies or manual update on the phone. Still on KKA.

I'm in the UK and got the OTA update yesterday. I'm running a German unlocked Note from Expansys UK. Cant see any differences though tbh. :/

Info about the update
Hello guys!
I bought my Galaxy Note in France (I work there).
The PDA/PHONE/CSC are XXKKA/XXKK5/XXKK5.
Build info is Friday 11 Nov...
How is it possible to receive official updates (stock roms) without flashing?
Please do not start telling me to read guides and so on... I worked on Android platform and after this experience I am aware how preparing roms and custom stuff is obviously a great challenge, gives you great satisfaction, but makes the phone be more prone to crashes, memory leaks and so on.
Thank you in advance.

No update for slovakia, orange. just waiting for ICS

patient is a virtue tow weeks. when i bought my xoom, after 6 mounts of delays my daily routine was check for updates , not any more..

I'm sure you were joking but this actually does raise a point that people should take into consideration:
If the phone is bought from the UK but the firmware is German, then it will get German upgrades. If it's bought from amazon.de and has Chinese firmware then it will only get Asian upgrades.
It doesn't matter where you buy the phone from, it matters what country the firmware is directed at. I also own a UK note which has BRI as the sales code and I don't have any update even though I live in Finland.

I'm certainly not a developer, but I can tell that's what Acer has to update the program recommends ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement, which is responsible for finding the firmware update (firmware) that runs Android 4.0.3 and install it. For installation, you must follow to Google Play and install or upgrade the application. Acer company claims that after installing the application will detect your tablet once a new firmware and it will download and then install.
Why do not some of the plates are updated using standard tools, the company does not comment on the Acer.
Video, to understand what to do.
