I am going to wait for someone to just modify the OTA to work with Tiamat's kernel or a CWR version. I can be a crack flasher with my phone but not that excited for the OTA where I cant wait a few days or more... A lot of wasted time has gone into trying to get this work when other people smarter than us are already figuring it out.
Android 3.1 Update on Wifi Only Xoom
- Thread starter SS2006
- Start date
It's definitely going to be possible to install this thing without needing to go back to stock. I was able to get the entire update to install by deleting all of the system verification stuff out of the beginning of the updater script in the META-INF folder. But when I rebooted I got stuck at the Motorola logo. 
Fortunately I did a Nandroid backup a few hours ago. It's restoring now.

I will post pics when I get back home.

Fastboot flash recovery, system and boot images. If u have a theme I gotta flash back to stock theme as well. Stock recovery flash update Usb using otg cable. All will get updated. I don't know if I can flash back clockwork or superuser but I will know in an hour or 2 for sure.

I flashed the full stock wifi rom from the moto dev site. I have not received any updates or notifications
Agreed. Possible issues (I'm rooted and unlocked) to have it a few days early isn't worth it (to me). I assume even if I did make the attempt I would flash the developers upload anyway, so it only makes sense to wait it out.
Ok so here is a few issues. Flashing recovery after update = No go. It can flash and work but right after reboot the recovery is back to stock. Flashing superuser also no go. Right after reboot gone as well.
Flash at your own risk.

You probably need a new boot.img and cmw recovery for this update.
anyway it is like from Froyo to Gingerbread (2.2 -> 2.3)
ok, how the hell do i get this to flash to my wifi xoom. I have read and tried a few of the methods here on xda and i am getting nothing.
I just got it to work. I flashed to the stock boot.img and recovery.img. From the terminal emulator, I could still use "su" to become root. So I created the command file, etc, like the guide said. Then rebooted into recovery, and it installed perfectly.

i think im gunna wait until me more solid results, but thank you everyone for your comments and discussions...keep us posted
Yes. Mind you, you lose root in the process. But well worth it to me. Especially for per-AP proxy settings. And the browser is definitely faster. You can actually read this site (with the 2010 theme).
