Factory Reset 3.1 update

[mpressive808]

Been trying for the past 3 days with no luck and just did a factory reset today 5/13 and about 5 mins after setup got the update. Can't be sure it was the factor reset but it worked for me.

I'd put dollars to donuts they are purely coincidental.

/edit
Ok, just to clarify -- I'm seeing a lot of desperate people on this board wanting the update. Phased rollouts are just that -- phased rollouts.
There is no chance of "missing your place in the update line".
All Xooms with internet connectivity will be updated.

So folks, don't reset your device -- all it will result in is having to reconfigure it.

If I were home from work already I would give it a shot myself to try and help confirm if that works or if it was just the coincidence of a life time. Anyone else still waiting for the update that could give this a go?

very tempted to try this but would hate having to reconfigure my screens and download all my app and game data again, hopefully it'll pop up tonight

I'm almost positive this won't work.

Here's why:

Doing a factory reset in no way comminicates with Google's servers and forces your Xoom on the current update list.

But this is just my educated guess.

Worked for me. Was setting up xoom with gmail account and said update available.

I wonder how many people have wiped their zooms in the last 45 minutes..

Anyone else have luck with this?

Been tempted to try this but I don't want to have to reload all my apps

I have a XOOM that was restored to stock from Tiamat 1.4.1. If this worked, I would have gotten the update right after it was restored, because restoring to stock is essentially a factory reset.

However just to be sure I did a second factory reset 5 minutes ago and it did not work. No update unfortunately.

 

[gergenhime]

also tested this, was fully stock never rooted, just factory reset and no update for me either

Nope Didn't work for me either. Ohio

Didn't work here either. I did this yesterday when I cleaned up my xoom. Only updated to 3.0.1 -- Ohio as well.

I've heard that, if you sacrifice an iPad 2, at the stroke of midnight, on a full moon, while chanting the word Android backwards, you will get the update!

I don't know the reasons behind that, but it's worked for me, fantastic! Thank you.
