[Guide-Updated]Update WiFi Xoom to 3.1 then 3.2 (Non US Xoom)

---

Firstly I would like to thank bigrushdog & the ppl for the below links i quoted

I just would like to do an add on of the bigrushdog thread. Since I was a lill bit worried when 1st I flashed my SG WiFi xoom that is running 3.0.1.
There are some additional steps missing as prerequisite before using the steps on the bigrushdog thread.

WARNING: I only flashed my xoom which is a SG WiFi only xoom. I will not be responsible for any bricking. All Data Will be ERASED

In a nutshell, There will be 3 steps
[step1] Unlock
[step 2] Flash Recovery CWM
[step 3] Flash Updates

[Step 1]

Note:In System at the USB debugging options under "Settings" > "Applications" > "Development" enabled it first (thick)

1. Make sure ur honeycomb is 3.0.1
2. U need to install Android SDK and update it using the SDK Manager
-----> make sure u have updated all the SDK Platform till 3.1 API12 rev 2

3. Inside the Android SDK folder
----->Copy all the folders & files from the Platform-tools folder & Paste it inside Tools folder

4. Download the Motorola USB driver & Install it
-----> google : Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.1.0_32bit. msi (if u r running win7 32bit)

5. Connect ur Xoom to ur PC using USB Cable, wait until all drivers installed

6. Open a command prompt
-----> go to the Android SDK folder (in my case in C drive)
---------> go to the Tools folder
RUN

adb reboot bootloader

Xoom will enter Recovery mode

RUN

Follow the instruction to unlock ur xoom then ur xoom will reboot to factory default (Ur xoom is unlock now)

On your PC, copy All Files on the thread above (STEP 3) to the root of the Xoom's SDCard ("Removable Disk" in Windows)
In ClockworkModRecovery (still on the "USB Mass Storage device" screen) select "Unmount"

Step 2: Flash HC 3.1 System Update 

Step 3: IMMEDIATELY flash Bootloader Patch

Hi! Thanks for this guide.

In the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1093112 I asked about this same process, and was not sure if I first needed to install the US 3.0.1 ROM after unlocking the device. In one of the replies I was told I should, but in your guide you don't have that listed.

Do I need to flash the US 3.0.1 rom first, or not?

Was your xoom on a USA based 3.0.1, or an international 3.0.1?

Im on an SG Wifi Xoom also. Actually, I followed the instructions from BigRushDog's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1074609.

I was rooted and on Tiamat 1.4 before I tried doing the update. It went flawless. Just follow the 3 steps in that thread. In essence, your xoom will have the US firmware and you will have access to books.

The extra steps highlighted by OP may be a safer bet though. Im not sure.

I m on international 3.0.1 i think since my xoom is a sg set

Anybody followed this guide on a UK WiFi? At the moment I am unlocked, but not rooted. This guide implies that you can update using CWM without root, which sounds logical, though it has been stated elsewhere that you need root :/

i am uk wifi and would apreciate any advice too.

OK you don't need root to install CWM, and if you get the latest 3.2.0.0 it works on the external SD card out of the box (for installation of CWM follow the instructions above). Download the lastest CWM image here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1074979

I followed the guide below to the letter (even step 1) to get my UK stock 3.0.1 to rooted US 3.1:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=1075260#

I did have to wipe (as I was in a bootloop), and I copied the MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip file directly to the SDcard via my PC (rather than pushing or mounting the card in CWM), but apart from that it all went OK

Bonus! All my apps were restored this time (as I had to do a factory reset a few days ago d/t a 3.0.1 issue)

...also my internal SD was untouched

Edit: Only thing missing was my AutoSport app which will not let me download, so will have to sideload.
