Giggity! Just did the update manually via stock recovery. Got nervous for a minute because when it came back up, the baseband version was coming up as "unknown". WiFi worked but 4G didn't. Reboot fixed it, thankfully.

It looks like there's a new CDMA radio (5DP vs. 54P in HLK75F) in the update, but the LTE radio remains the same version (05.19.07) as HLK75F. There is no bootloader update either, which is a good thing. Once you start getting into new bootloader versions, flashing old firmware instantly becomes a nightmare as anyone with a Motorola smartphone can tell you. :)

I'm hoping this update means ICS is around the corner. This HLK75H update may be the one that comes out as the "launchpad" for ICS...sort-of like what Google did with the Nexus One. Like a week or two before they upgraded it to Gingerbread, they released a Froyo update 2.2.2 which didn't really fix anything that anyone could figure out. It seems like it was just there to be the upgrade path to Gingerbread.

I hope that's what's going on here. Either way, I'm sure we can say that 3.2.6 is the final release of Honeycomb.

I am not sure as i have not been not rooted for along time but i am thinking if you copy it to your sdcard and reboot into recovery you can apply it through there. At least this option works on my bionic anyway.

To get into recovery you must turn power off then power it on again. Once the red motorola logo comes up count 1 2 3 and then hit the down volume button until it says android recovery then hit the up volume button to select it.

I wouldn't count on it but would hope that ICS is around the corner for us. As for the final release of Honeycomb i would hope so too but who knows what these people at Motorola think. I would like to see an ASOP ICS but i bet moto puts their hands on it before we get it and adds their 2 cents.

Not on the US Xoom. They can't. The updates come from Google. Moto just pushes them. The US Xoom is a Google Experience Device. ICS will be plain vanilla just like Honeycomb is.

I am rooted using Rogue Recovery 1.3.0 and Rogue Kernel 1.4.3 "Rana" (ROM Ver. HLK75F) can I run this Zip from Rogue Recovery without going back to stock kernel and recovery? Will this update un-root me?

I will answer my on questions for 'GP' I ran the update through recovery, I was soft bricked at the Dual Core 'M'. Went back into recovery and reinstalled 'Rogue Kernel 1.4.3 "Rana"' and Universal Root.zip (didn't know if it was needed but figured it wouldn't hurt.) and rebooted after 10 minutes was up and running on HLK75H. Had 'su' updated binaries once system was running and all seems well.
