And how do I do that? Its already on the device??/
Already flashed default rom from Motorola.com dev section

1. rebooted into adb reboot recovery
2. plugged in usb
3. pressed up and got into recovery (blue lettering screen)
4. chose install from sd
5. got error

?????
The stock blue recovery doesn't recognize the SD, my guess is it was wishful thinking on Moto/Google's part. The only way to do it through the stock recovery is with a micro USB adapter and a USB mem stick.

Have you totally ignored the past 11 pages of people with wifi xooms getting 3.1? RTFM dude, RTFM
Listen pal. I d id read. I read them all. I tried every way that was laid out to force the update. So don't tell me to read anything. I know many people who have the wifi zoom, myself included and there has been no update. So why don't you read this.

Gee, that sure flies in the face of my personal experience. Sorry you couldn't figure it out.

He wasn't talking about forcing the OTA update. He was talking about just flashing the update yourself through either a usb host cable or through a rooted xoom with clockworkmod.

Display Reversed (mirror)!!

After trying unsuccessfully several times to load 3.1 manually, now, all of the sudden, my display is completely backwards (a mirror image)! Several restarts have failed to resolve this issue and I'm afraid it may be related to my attempts to install 3.1.

So, a) Has this happened to others? b) What's the fix? and c) anyone besides me still getting stuck on this 3.1?

Thanks.

Ok, so I am new to the whole rooting thing, adb, etc

I have a xoom wifi only, how in gods green earth do you get into adb reboot recovery?

I have the usb drives downloaded and installed. I have the SDK installed with the platform tools and fastboot.exe in the platform-tools folder.

Is there a guide on how to get into adb recovery or am I just missing it?

it's a command you execute from the commandline on your pc once you've got your xoom hooked up properly via usb.

Sorry for being blond, tried ro read everything.

I have an unrooted Wifi US Xoom. From the the Verizon guide I read that you can force a second update attempt by pressing power/volume_up. Does that not mean that i just have to copy the zip file as downloaded, rename it into update.zip, copy it into a selected folder and then press power/volumeup? The only issue is that the folder might need root rights to be written in. Am I completetly out of spec here? If not, any idea what folder I have to copy it in?

Thanks

Hello, im new here. =) I have a question. Do i really have to manually install the 3.1 update? Or will it show up in my Xoom?

BTW, i bought my wifi only xoom in best buy, but i am now in the Philippines.

it will push out automatically, you'll just get the update later (we don't know when yet). You should get the update regardless of location.
