Yes I tried it your first two images had failed either you have not unlocked your bootloader properly or make sure you have MZ604 wifi model if you have done thease repeat the steps again.PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WIFI XOOM MODEL MZ604 ONLY now I have stock us v3.2 and loving it it's a very simple procedure if your boot loaders are still unlocked skip the unlocking boot loader part enjoy.

I Guess all are stock 3.0.1 images on this post, not the 3.2 stock.

Yes that's wright the 3.2 comes OTA when you do my procedure thanks

Is there any disadvantage of using the US ROM in the UK other than warranty?

No its all the same i have had no problems even in market all prices still come up as £ and you can change keyboard to uk english and still have the £ all good here it works 100% just read it carefully word for word and problems just ask thanks.

If I attempt to flash a rom for a MZ604 device onto MZ601 device will it brick the device or just become a MZ604 device.

I would gladly lose the 3G capabilities for the benefits of a more stable and faster Xoom.

kind regards,
