I have a 3g Verizon xoom completely stock in Calif. And still no update yet :confused:

Tried the date change/reboot method to no avail.
hope I'm doing it correctly..

no update here for me (on any of the Xooms we have). I did the set date forward, nothing. Rebooted, etc. Hopefully it gets updated today at some point. I've had devices that do OTA for years and have never been in the last wave of any of those updates. I even signed up for the MFN the other day hoping that may help.

I think I've read that people who are rooted have gotten it, but they lose root once installed.

This whole rolling out updates is a bit ridiculous. I can understand for the average user who doesn't keep up with things it might not be an urgent matter. For us early adapters who know it's out there and can't get it (officially), it's frustrating. A company as savvy as Google should be able to come up with options to manually force the update, for those of us who choose to do so.

I completely agree

What i don't get are the arguments about bricking the devices, so it's a slow rollout. I haven't seen any threads anywhere on bricked 3.1 updates (other than maybe people who rooted and didn't know what they were doing). I just don't get the holdup.

I'm with you mostly, but it's still only been 48 hours. It's irrationally cautious, but i'd guess that google ran the numbers and decided that it would cost them less in the long run to be careful than to pay for an insurance policy on a few hundred-thousand $600-$800 devices. I agree with the folk who say that google should have set it up so that power users could load it, but I assume they want to make hacking a more difficult process (and releasing tools to load the firmware from a PC would surely be easier to hack...). I think their biggest mistake was announcing the update.

Also: still waiting with stock, unactivated 3g in oregon...
