3.1 update on non US wifi Xoom?

[zaphod777]

Has anyone manually updated to 3.1 on a non us wifi xoom? I am running stock without any modifications I have a Japan xoom model mz604. The process seems pretty simple but I want to confirm others got it working before I risk bricking mine.

Have any of you tried doing a factory reset and then checking for system updates, or changing the date and then checking? Just what I've read in other threads. I'm going to try it myself tonight, as I haven't got my XOOM with me right now

Also very keen to know when and how we UK users can update!

Hi. Have any of you updated to 3.1 with the US update as im thinking about upgrading my wifi xoom with the 3.1 hack by brd but was wanting to know if anyone else had done it successfully on a non-us xoom. Thanks.

Mine is Xoom UK, I was impatient, so I start manual update to US 3.1, everything works great. Some apps that initially missing in 3.01 UK, are here now with US update like Google books, some games etc, but the overall system is faster. No more stupid messages on android market like - not available in your country, or something. Thank you all !

books
music (although i have a music beta account and installed the apk manually for it to work)

Mine too, google limit access for the rest of the world except US, but in the future this will change. More important is that market fully working (for now) .
Now we waiting for microSD Card

Just got the Google Videos app on my UK wifi xoom updated to US 3.1 rom. Really very annoying that we can't use videos in the UK yet. Is there any way around it? Through a proxy perhaps? The irony is that to get most proxy apps to work you need root, which is another thing that prevents use of Google Videos.

Hmm what if you had some sort of vpn connection to the US? Just a thought... Oh well, movies are the least of the worries

Yes, it is possible and I have done so myself using brd's rom. I had an HK Xoom which is now US 3.1, rooted and with access to the sdcard and it feels a lot responsive than stock. The market app even sees my Xoom as a US Verizon Xoom thus allowing me access to apps ordinarily unavailable to users in my region.
