3.2 finally arrives in the UK

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...

nope looks like wifi only for now....*sigh*

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!

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

Sent from my GT-S5830D using XDA App

I am running the Prime 2.1.1 ROM and it's good. I have had trouble with the Revolution HD ROM (didn't restore apps automatically, Market crashes, some apps are shown as not compatible etc.). I will wait until the first ICS ROMs come out before I try anything new (e.g. the KRAKD ROM looks promising).

So maybe i play honeycomb and wait for the ICS roms to drop then cause that works

I have tried revolver, prime, and revolution HD for me revolution is the most stable and the battery is amazing on it. the only thing I don't like is how really stock it is. Revolver is really customizable rom you can do alot tweets but the battery drains fast. Well prime, I was getting alot of fc so I didn't play with it to much.
Sent from eee pad Transformer running Revolution HD 2.2.1

First off, make sure that you always make a backup of what you have working on the tablet. This will save you much frustration if something goes wrong. Nandroid backups are the ones that will restore a whole ROM for you. As for backing up apps with data, you can use Titanium Backup (requires root).
The two main firsts are that you should get it rooted (very easy now) and install CWM (Clockwork Recovery Mod). CWM will allow you to flash ROMs, make backups of the ROM itself and handle various memory functions.
Read through the Stickies in the Android Dev section, they will tell you all information you need to know.
As mentioned above, if you run into any kind of issue, before you post, use the search function and see if it is something that has been asked and answered before. If you are following the steps to whatever you are doing and you get stuck, chances are good someone else has done the same thing and gotten help with it.
Another thing to note is when you choose a ROM, look through its feature list, and if available, the bug list. Looking through both of those should aid you in deciding if that specific ROM or Kernel is something you want to use. If you get as far as flashing Kernels, make sure it is one that is compatible with the ROM you are using, otherwise the tablet probably won't boot and you'll have to flash a Kernel known to work with whichever ROM you chose.

Read thru the stickies above.

First thing you'll need to do is check the serial number on it and make sure you even have the choice of rooting it. AFAIK, most serials after the B60 series have a locked bootloader that hasn't been cracked yet. I hope I'm wrong, but I haven't read anything to the contrary yet.

Anyway, I would recommend getting the dock. Sometimes it is nice to have a physical keyboard, plus the additional battery adds hours of use time.

Congratulations! Xoom development is quite exciting right now. There are the mature and stable Honeycomb roms Moray 2.2.2 for wifi and 3G, one for 4G, and the Odachi kernel from Team Tiamat, as well as several kernels from Team Rogue. There is also a terrific alpha ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) rom in development, that I'm using as a daily driver.

Was meant to be going for £199 by CPW.
They actually priced it instore for £199!
But apparently they 'messed up' and it wasnt the right price....

Tried to use price match plus 10% off at PC world
they said they rang the local cpw and said they could not as not in stock
I went over the cpw, they had 3 in stock, bought it
went back to pc world complained they'd told porkies
got a £30 free spend as a sorry we messed up
got a 16gb usb stick, a case for it, and a screen protector

I'm assuming the Xoom will get ICS officially ?

Easiest way to root this thing?

Im a complete noob on rooting and rom flashing
So not so keen to give it a go.

This guide is fine for setting up Android SDK (ADB):
http://alldroid.org/tabid/40/g/post...fastboot-support-in-Windows-for-the-Xoom.aspx
One note:
Download an updated Motorola USB driver, not the one in the URL.
This one is good:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
Version 5.4.0.
So after you have the SDK up and running on your PC and Motorola USB driver installed (and you do NOT need to touch your Xoom for that), it'll take you 3 min to unlock, flash custom recovery, and root.
Really not difficult.

Where do you guys see it for 249.99?
On their site its showing 319.99. :s
I've been trying to get one from Verizon with the contract price of $300 US, but they told me that it's no longer in production. ;/

Use the Universal Root method from the Xoom Development forums here.
Then install the latest (version 20 as of this writing) of the EOS ICS Nightlies. You won't regret it.
EOS Thread here
After every ROM update, install this gApps package over the top of your ROM to get your google apps back. More info in the thread. Solarnz has it together really well on that.

Its certainly great that the Xoom is getting ICS. Kind of wish it was released back in November alongside the Nexus. The Xoom is a Google Experience Device, so I'm wondering why Moto/Goog didn't get this up and running sooner.
Hopefully the 3G/LTE version get the update very soon after!

my guess, to merge in the camera and microphone drivers, the xoom 4.0.3 aosp was released what 2 weeks ago and they are already going to test this in a time where nobody does any work, the team eos rom was awesome and i think we should all be very very excited for our xooms that we paid so dearly for to finally work the way they were intended.
wild guess, 2 to 4 weeks before it's out for the 3g/4g lte xooms or at least i hope!

My guess is that if this is indeed ICS, then Motorola will release the much needed drivers for the camera and other things and the devs working on the ICS roms can just incorporate those into their builds and there will be no need for going back to stock.

Plus, be careful that future updates don't somehow lock down the bootloader. Some may not care, but I won't ever willingly go back to stock.

Not for UK users then hmm

So I'm guessing Canadian xoom owners don't get a shot at this? It's odd because our tablets and OS's are pretty much identical. Crazy why Canada gets shutout as it should be North American tablets.

The OS isn't. That's why we got 3.2 ages after the US. Actually, did they ever release 3.2 for the Canadian Xoom? I wouldn't know as I reflashed with the US ROM when I got sick of waiting for 3.1.
The Canadian ROM has some US-only stuff removed such as Amazon MP3, and there were a few other differences too (3.0 had a whole different update checking module for instance).
Right now our best chance is for Team EOS to get their hand on it, be able to lift the missing binaries from it, and get us a 99% working ICS before Moto does (and probably months before Canadian owners gets an official ICS update as well).

Capabilities of this type of device
Got mine its decent. Does anyone know if there will be very much development for this device.
I know they said they would put out some OTA updates and root was a possibility in the future.
This is my first device of this nature and I am clueless to any possibilities it may have. I know I like
to root any device I can and I'm hoping to do the same with this.

I'm just hoping their OTA updates fix the crashing, hell when some apps crash and it asks if you want to report it, the report crashes as well!

I ordered two of these. It is junk. Move along. Laggy and one of my units is broken. Company doesnt care. It is just a rebranded CX-01...

It looks to me like they do care quite a bit. They are answering all kinds of questions on the Kickstarter backer's page and on Facebook. I believe that they are working hard on an OTA update to be released very soon....At least I hope it's soon.

Got Root
I got this device rooted awhile back and downloaded some apps to help with
performance. It runs alot better now. I can't beleive they couldn't fix some of these
issues before it came out. I installed the beta updates they put out and it helped.
It seems like they don't want to give out the info needed for people to do developement
because they are afraid someone will get it up and running better then they can.
I'm just looking forward to running custom roms on this thing.

I've owned one of these, and also a bunch of the dual core sticks.
The Equiso is not worth the price. It is pretty much a cx-01 or c-77.
I found the video performance to be substandard.
I sold it for a loss after a week.
You can get a dual core for cheaper.
Even the original MK802(single core allwinner a10) is better.
If I had to buy a stick right now it would be the dual core MX1.
If I wanted to wait I would pick up the GK802 quad core stick(freescale soc!) or the uHost2 dual core stick.(more usb)
Let the buyer beware though! Check out everything you can before you buy!

Wow, that uhost2 looks really good. Would you happen to know of any good reliable retailers that have the Bluetooth capable one???

I have purchased this TV stick at Walmart the stock Rom is buggy until you root it and change the CPU governor. I have rooted it and removed the equiso update file from system/app now it doesn't pop up all the time which was kind of annoying.
