I've been Googling ICS release in the UK for the Wi-Fi Xoom, but can't find anything confirming it's release.
I understand it's rolling out in the US at the moment, but does anyone know about us over the pond in the UK, or Europe?
If they stick to honeycomb times expect 3-5 months

Just convert your Xoom to US GED and enjoy ICS

Just follow up to step 3 ...then just wait for the OTA updates
My xoom was the UK version... now running the oh so smooth ICS with US rom and lovin it!
All my mates xooms are on us firmware. Ota updates work great. Way better then waiting

OK, thanks for the pointers, it doesn't look too bad.
So I can re-lock the boot loader after I've flashed it for warranty reasons (only got the Xoom today )
It also appears that I can change the locale to English, so no USA currency, date etc?

Sorry, is 'love' supposed to be 'have'?
Just wanted to check, as don't want to end up with a useless place mat
Are you running the US firmware / software?
I'm pretty sure its impossible to brick the Xoom while using fastboot .. just make sure everything is typed correctly and that you have all programs/drivers installed..

Yer sorry "have" would be amazed if you managed to brick a Xoom.
Must have been saying love you to the wife or something.

Well, I followed the guide and after about 5 subsequent updates, I've now got ICS on the Xoom
Thanks for the pointers all, appreciated!

Search for 'locale2'.
would it be a good idea to relock the bootloader? what would be the pros and cons of doing so?

Thank You. It worked this time. Geeze... That SUCKS!!! I am becoming more and more glad that I have never flashed any un-official firmwares and that I am still on stock JH2 with Bell.
Wow... Come on Samsung... Fix FROYO already and quit worrying about things like this!!!
Well... I sure hope that FROYO comes to Bell / Canada officially soon then otherwise I will be using JH2 for a LOOOOOOONNNGG TIME a comin!!!
My FUSaLATOR still works.
Since the new ota root this forum is like it was a year ago...how do I tether, how do I root, whats a good rom, how do I flash, I think I bricked my phone, I'm stuck at bootloader..etc

Yup. That's pretty much in a nutshell how these things work around here. No sense in getting particularly agitated about it, if nothing else this may be a good chance to take a breather from the site for a bit while things settle down. At the very least just stick to the development forum to keep tabs on the latest roms and kernels.
What is root?
And why do I need it?

Even in the week leading up to the root being released I couldn't believe how many newbies we were getting in the forum. I guess they come in waves, and now that you can get the EVO free on contract I guess you'll just see more.

I was curious too. I went to google images, typed in root, and the first image took me here. I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want root.

I have a rooted atrix already so this is pointless to me. but could be helpful to others. I have tried some of the automatic rooting programs and apps but failed miserably. so had to do it the old fashion way!!
but i came across this and it looks very promising.

You're welcome.
I'm sure you will see a couple more updates which are still 4.1.2. For instance, there should be an MR2 update coming soon enough if I've understood Samsung's update system right. Vodafone Germany got MR2 a few days ago and today England got MB1 (which has been around for some time in China/Taiwan).
I guess the forum has an overall fondness of blonde's.

Write something in pink in your signature, too.
Then, go to the Developer Forum and create a new thread asking about the benefits of rooting. :angel:

I totally agree, we will get all that info tomorrow by lunch time. Sorry if I sounded mean, but way too many people here are so impatient. I guess that will all be over in about 12-15 hours.
Hoping I can pick mine up today and then I will do what I can to help you guys out!
Not seeing it on http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ yet, unless we can use the HTC One selection, but I will be doing system/boot/data-preload dumps as soon as I can, although I am sure someone will beat me to it.

Yeah, I need to get data backed up before that, just to make sure nothing is wiped out of data as before.
Biggest concern is getting a custom recovery on so I can install superuser.

Boo-urns.... I was in a Verizon store at five after one, made a stink with the manager about loosing my unlimited data and left in a huff threatening to leave. I knew I had no chance but it was fun anyways. I'm really close to leaving big red anyways. Rather have control back to use the network I want when I want to with a dev edition.
