OTA Released (Root for manual update) - Flash on Market MAR18 (Leaked)

Motorola XOOM users on the Verizon Wireless network: starting tonight, a maintenance release is rolling out to you in phases, so watch for a notification on your device that will tell you when it’s ready for download. The update includes required enhancements to support Adobe® Flash® Player 10.2 (coming soon); it also includes a fix for a bug we identified with Daylight Savings time, so be sure to install it!

Update: Flash 10.2 announced release on market MAR18 http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2011/03/update-on-flash-player-10-2-for-mobile-devices.html
And, Flash leaked! http://www.multiupload.com/5FOUMVZI32
Manual OTA instructions via Koush (ROOT REQUIRED): http://www.koushikdutta.com/2011/03/manually-updating-your-rooted-xoom.html

well, maybe this will fix my wierd clock issue today... hmmm

At least this shows how quickly updates will come... I guess.

how will us with wifi only get this?

Any update is good news at this point I think. I wonder if there is any harm in updating, ie will it remove the ability to root and what not? I wish they would provide more details on what exactly the patch does. Also, it clearly says on the Verizon network, what about those not on it and are only on wifi?

MY droid always popped up updates even when I was only on wifi. I imagine we'll all get it or someone will post the update.zip anyway.

I'm curious if the Tegra 2 versions of flash (10.1) floating around will have something to interact with, and start functioning. They have with everything else. As soon as I get the OTA (no 3G), I have a folder full of them in my Dropbox.

Question of the day. No dialer :/

yesssssssssssss

Glad to see an update but there is nothing listed to get excited about except a possible problem with the upcoming daylight savings time switch. Who cares about the flash update since it does not actually include it. But this will be a good test run to see how the updates are sent out and applied.

Cann't wait for the update to start

You can force a check by rebooting. Not the best method, but it works.

Why do unlocked xooms need to get relocked?
I understand why you need to be on stock boot.img but i don't understand why you need to have the device relocked to get the update.
It makes no sense.

According to the system update tab this didn't happen in 3 reboots since the announcement. Still last check at 5:20. Really want to see if any of the 10.1 Tegra versions work after this. I've been frantic to have Flash lately (PlayOn/Netflix).

It might have a minimum time between checkins. Mine said 9:20am, then showed current time for last checkin when I rebooted.

So would it be fair to say that those of us who have rooted should wait until this update is released to see if in fact we really do need to revert back to stock/locked condition? Because I'd really be pissed if we had to lose all of the data on our Xooms just for this update, when very few of us have actually changed anything with the boot.img, etc. I mean back when I first rooted my N1 but before I flashed custom ROMs, I never had to wipe back to stock to receive OTA updates, so why would that be the case here??

3.1 update on non US wifi Xoom?

Has anyone manually updated to 3.1 on a non us wifi xoom? I am running stock without any modifications I have a Japan xoom model mz604. The process seems pretty simple but I want to confirm others got it working before I risk bricking mine.

Xoom Updated with the Latest Android 3.1 support, but only for Verizon version.
The update details of Xoom Android 3.1:
● Support for movie rental function of Android electronic market, streaming movies to big screen devices with HDMI;
● fully supports the Adobe Flash Player 10.2;
● Recustomized the Widget of Xoom;
● support for connecting multiple USB devices, including mouse, keyboard, joystick and digital cameras;
● support for using bluetooth headset on Google Talk, Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and using shortcut keys;
● Image transmission communication will be more convenient to transfer pictures to PC.

Ditto for me on. UK wifi Xoom... Don't want to have to wait 'several weeks' :-(

didn't exactly want to root it as wanted to keep it stock and happy and stuff

Have any of you tried doing a factory reset and then checking for system updates, or changing the date and then checking? Just what I've read in other threads. I'm going to try it myself tonight, as I haven't got my XOOM with me right now
Also very keen to know when and how we UK users can update!

Hi. Have any of you updated to 3.1 with the US update as im thinking about upgrading my wifi xoom with the 3.1 hack by brd but was wanting to know if anyone else had done it successfully on a non-us xoom. Thanks.

Mine is Xoom UK, I was impatient, so I start manual update to US 3.1, everything works great. Some apps that initially missing in 3.01 UK, are here now with US update like Google books, some games etc, but the overall system is faster. No more stupid messages on android market like - not available in your country, or something. Thank you all !

Mine too, google limit access for the rest of the world except US, but in the future this will change. More important is that market fully working (for now) .
Now we waiting for microSD Card

Just got the Google Videos app on my UK wifi xoom updated to US 3.1 rom. Really very annoying that we can't use videos in the UK yet. Is there any way around it? Through a proxy perhaps? The irony is that to get most proxy apps to work you need root, which is another thing that prevents use of Google Videos.

Hmm what if you had some sort of vpn connection to the US? Just a thought... Oh well, movies are the least of the worries

Yes, it is possible and I have done so myself using brd's rom. I had an HK Xoom which is now US 3.1, rooted and with access to the sdcard and it feels a lot responsive than stock. The market app even sees my Xoom as a US Verizon Xoom thus allowing me access to apps ordinarily unavailable to users in my region.

who has not yet received OTA on US stock Wifi?

Is it just me? Am I alone?
US Wifi stock
In Germany

Will report back when i get it!

I have a stock US WiFi (although I'm located in Canada) and haven't received it yet.

I and I am sure many others have not recieved 3.1 yet.
In fact most wifi owners(if not all) who have it flashed it with clockwork recovery or something like that.

I have a stock US 3G version (I'm in the US) and still haven't got an update. It's very Annoying !!!

no update here yet. I have a second Xoom that's been in a box for a few weeks, just powered it up and no update either. Both are 3G.

none for me yet. stock 3g. im droolin over here

I have a Stock Wifi, bought in the U.S, running in France and I received the OTA some hours ago (in France, yes).

I have a stock US Wifi Xoom 3.0.1 here in Belgium and still no update eather :s

stock wifi xoom here and nothing so far.. smh. FIGURED IT WOULD BE QUICKER BEING THAT THEY ONLY SOLD LIKE 125 XOOMS.. GRRR

Funny, I started reading this thread when I remembered I haven't checked on my Xoom WiFi yet...and what do you know....it was waiting for me. Installed successfully.
BTW...my Xoom was stock and unrooted...just FYI before anyone asks.
Funny thing...no Movie app as was reported by others. What gives.

Just to add to the chorus. bone Stock, no update.

3G here in Detroit area, bought the minute the doors opened on launch day. No update yet. Been trying to be patient (only checking every hour now), and haven't had free time. Got some free time tonight, though, so will load it manually if it's not appeared by then.

Stock 3G XOOM, no update yet. Last checked at 7AM automatically.

stock wifi. nothing yet. New York

Stock Xoom Wifi in Fort Worth and I have not received it either.
Update: I just got off the phone with Motorola Support and they informed me that the Wifi versions will not received the 3.1 update for another 5 to 7 days.
On a positive note they did say that there is now a fix for the micro SD card and it will be pushed out about the same time as the Wifi 3.1 update!!

BS...I got it this morning. Can't test SD...don't have one on hand...wait until I get home from work.
- Performance wise: I thought it was fast already, so I haven't noticed much.
- Scalable widgets: I like very much...something I loved on my Atrix (MotoBlur)
- Browser Performance: Let me just put it this way...you can finally load the XDA's Forums home page
- USB: Can't test it yet as I don't have a regular-to-micro converter.
Still, I can't find the Movie/Video app

no update here either, stock wifi only

Were you rooted or stock?
And how can you say BS.....

I have come to realize I love my xoom more than it loves me. Everyday, more than a few times, I ask it are you the most current version. Without fail it always answers yes. I just can't turn my love off so I will continue to ask it and hope that soon it will tell me the truth.

Motorola releasing 3.1 update to Wifi users today!!

Hello Xoomers!! Motorola announced that they are releasing Honeycomb 3.1 to Xoom Wifi owners starting today in phases. I believe the updates are based on your MAC addresses on your Xooms, this was what I was told (sources withheld) but I can not confirm this 100%. Anyway, we should start seeing a steady rollout of updates as there have been no issues with the updates with Xoom 3g owners. Please be sure to thank me
Fingers crossed!!
Forgot to mention, the official WIfi only version of 3.1 does NOT contain the Movie tab in the marketplace. No biggie to me, but it will be released sometime later.

I hope this is true bc u have no idea how happy just seeing this post made me lol.

Is ut only the US version of wifi-only that will start to get the update?
How about the European version? Will it start to roll out to us to?
Can only find info that people with the US version have got it. What about we with Eu version,

LOL..I pissed my pants while typing it I was so happy! But yes I have confirmation fro other Wifi owners who have received the update this morning EST. Also there has been official word on the update being released to wifi users. I cant wait to see the popup on my xoom. Remember though, its in phases, so please be patient people. Also, 3.1 does not fix the slowness in auto rotate because this is not a google problem, its an issue with the Xoom models which should be patched soon(again sources withheld) may have something to do with increasing the cache but again Im not 100% sure on this. Good luck!!

Got my OTA this morning on my Wi-Fi Xoom in US.
Kinda ticked off that we Wi-Fi people get snubbed out of the Movie app for no reason. Especially when I have a trip this weekend that I was looking forward to using the movie app.

i got my ota update at around 12:30am last night. did a restore to stock and then used power+volup button to reboot and then check updates.

This was not done purposely, looks like their was a "bug" which caused issues with Wifi owners. But I would rather have the update now than to have to wait another few weeks just for the movie tab to be added. Enjoy your 3.1!! I'm told that the auto-rotate issue should be patched also hopefully soon!!

Hey there! yes, the SD issue is NOT Motorola's fault, contrary to what is believed..this is a issue with Honeycomb itself which Google is aware of and will fix. The other tablets that do have the SD card support are using a "work-around" but its not the official fix. From what I "hear" the issue is how Honeycomb sees the SD card, this will be officially fixed soon. I believe that the other tabs will receive an update for the SD card also, as the way it works for them is not "official"

Another post eslewhere in this forum mentioned that Motorola tech support said that a "fix" (not sure if that means Xoom only temp fix or a permanent fix from Google) for the SD card was finalized and would be pushed at close to the same time as the 3.1 update.

Not sure why it takes three months to get the UK update to 3.2 after the US, but it finally arrived on my MZ604 today... perhaps it's translating from American to English

With films now in the market and a slightly prettier Google+ update, tonight's been pretty good
The keyboard lag seems better I've noticed while typing this out

Has anyone on a MZ601 received the 3.2 update?
I wonder if this will fix the Tiamat 2.2.2 market issue of missing apps?

What build is this?

Can somebody get the link or the zip file for the update please?
I am on a US 3.2 but might have to switch back for this.

There's one good thing about this update, quickoffice HD

considered wiping my xoom and setting it back to the UK 3.2 image - but then thought if i stick it out on the US 3.2 image then i'll probably get ICS 3 months quicker than the UK...

iv just got my update aswell let see after the download if all the bugs iiv found are fixednstill contemplating to root it :/ my sgs22 is but might wait till I get board lol

Is this update 66.0.23.en.EU that we're talking about here?
I've got the option to update to this but my MZ604 is rooted using the any update/any version method so dunno if its wise to update or not.
Can anyone clarify if I can apply this update and still be rooted or will it break stuff?
Cheers.

Why on earth do the 3G's (who paid more for their devices too!) get the updates after the standard Xooms? It's a ridiculous situation - it's not as if Moto don't know the difference between the two and can't create the update for both at the same time! GRRRR

Wen will 3g get it? I might just sell up and get xoom two next month

Honestly? Xoom = fail
I don't get upgrades on time and most of uk banks charge for all market purchases (£1.25 on top for overseas transactions) - not like there is anything interesting to look for anyway (most of apps look and operate like s..t).
I wanted to buy something else then Apple and I ended up with clunky, laggy, buggy, overpriced (£570) prototype of a tablet. Now value dropped 50% and all truth came out - it's just ipad-wannabe.
(also I barely managed to write down this rant because of stupid keyboard lag...).
ICS? I'm tired of waiting. Google can't even release one simple upgrade on time... I'll wait for iPad 3 instead and I promise you that - I will have it before ICS upgrade. At least Apple is always on time with their stuff.

I know this is for the UK 3.2 but it's looking good for AUS - I really hope this resolves the Tiamat market issue!
Just in from Motorola Australia facebook page
"Hi guys, we know you're all eager to download the latest 3G Xoom 3.2 software for 3G devices. We wanted to provide you with another update on timings. Approvals are still in progress and we hope to be able to push the upgrade within the next week. We appreciate your patience."

I wouldn't be in a rush for 3.2 if I were you - I recieved it over the weekend and lost the ability to write to the SDCard again! It was there in 3.1, gone in 3.2 - SDCard is back to read-only, unless you connect via a PC.
Sure, you get an Office app, and some printing utility etc, but going back to read-only SD cards is a major backward step for me!

updated yesterday and then rooted using the 'any xoom any update' in the developement forum. Everything ok
