"Fed up with waiting for the UK Xoom 3G update to 3.1"

I got mine first thing this morning following an empty update last night but thanks anyway!

Paul, why do we need to update the baseband?

Paul, thanks for the image, however I'm having some problems and I am hoping you can help.
I have a verizon MZ601 xoom, and did a clockworkmod install of your zip, in an attempt to "switch the baseband" from CDMA to UMTS.
(I believe there are no hardware diferences since MDM6600 is multi-baseband)

Untill now, I was unable to find a different baseband image.
I have however cross flashed (fastboot) EU GSM versions (without baseband updates) and they worked fine. Hence I am not worried taking the risk.

Anyway, the thing is, I had US wifi only version with android 3.2
I installed your zip, with clockworkmod, reboot - stuck at boot screen (with honeycombs)
I did have ADB shell, but dont know what to check... (log?)
I tried cat on /dev/log/... but they are binary or something(?)

Ofcourse I can restore back to US working versions, but I really wanted to try your baseband update!
So I rebooted to recovery, did a wipe/cache clean return factory defaults, and managed to boot.
The problem now is that I dont have root anymore and I can not run your baseband upgrade!

Should I go with typical root steps for UK, 3.1 version ?
Should I drop the whole thing ?
Maybe If I had a baseband update "alone" so I can apply in on a UK fastboot images flash, and hopefully convert my CDMA to UMTS ?
Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks!

UPDATE:
ok I rooted the device, and runned the "baseband update"
It gives me a window asking "Reboot to recovery?" I press "yes" and It takes me to clockworkmod recovery ....
where is the upgrade ? how is it initiated ?
Shouldn't this updated replace the clockworkmod recovery partition ?
Am I missing something ?

Correct, it should reflash the stock patched recovery - let me look into it.

Thanks :)
I'm really exited ! ...
I'm a few clicks away from either switching the baseband - or bricking my device!
Great

Ok, this is what I did….
I pulled the Baseband update utility apk from the rom, installed it into Verizon 3.1, updated the busybox, and started the Baseband update utility……the xoom booted into the patched version of the stock recovery and the updating started but failed at the middle

assert failed: moto.update_cdma_bp(“/tmp/bp_rdl.bin”, “/tmp/bp.img”)
E:Error in /cache/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
