Invites went out today. Finally, we're getting an official Jelly Bean update 10 months after WiFi. If anyone is participating in the soak test, could you pull the OTA URL? I wonder if this will be JZO54K like WiFi or if it'll be a newer build of 4.1.2. I guess we'll see!

Thanks!

This is excellent news of course, despite being ridiculously late arriving.

I have been running the leaked Motorola 4.1.1 JRO03H build since it dropped last June so I certainly hope its a newer build than that one.

It's actually quite stable despite some annoyances like limiting write access to the sdcard and keyboard misbehavior persisting.

The radios perform very well in this build so it will be interesting to see what changes, if any, appear assuming a new baseband is included.

I think it's a shame google stopped supporting the xoom. A google experience device and for a long time, the baby of android, always getting the OS updates first. Now it's just the red headed stepchild to the nexus 7 and 10. I would love to see google give us official 4.3 but that probably won't happen. If they did though, it would be really good PR and xoomers would rejoice.

There's no discussion. It'll be newer. It'll either be JZO54K like Wi-Fi or a newer build of 4.1.2 that we haven't seen yet (unlikely). I'm sure there will at least be a new CDMA baseband if not a new LTE baseband as well. I say this because the original leaker of that 4.1.1/JRO03H build had a newer CDMA baseband in his screenshot that no one had ever seen before (03.1A.66SP), but his LTE baseband was the same as the IMM76L ICS build.

Speaking of that leaked 4.1.1/JRO03H build, it looks like it was just the Wi-Fi build with the LTE drivers dropped in for testing.

The leaker claimed that Verizon had signed off on it but I don't buy it for two reasons. First, it was never released. Second, that build has a major DRM bug. Google Play Movies won't stream content when using that build because either the DRM keys are hosed or the build itself has something turned on that makes the app think the ROM is rooted.

As for how he got it, he said his own Xoom had the build installed by Motorola development. That much I do believe due to the fact that he had a CDMA baseband that no one else had ever seen.

Not yet. I have made a couple posts about this up and coming and seems no one heard me. Glad to see someone is happy as me ;)

I am 100% certain I will get the soak as I have received the last 3 released on my phones. I will go to xda w/out passing "go " or collecting $200 lol. No pit stops. You will be the first to know.

I also got an invite for the soak test and signed up. I'd be happy to help out. My Xoom is on the Verizon network but my bootloader is unlocked. Will I need to lock the bootloader to get the update?

Nope, your bootloader can remain unlocked. As long as you're running the stock ICS 4.0.4/IMM76L firmware, you'll get the update when they finally do roll the soak test out. Do you know how to pull an update URL, or do you need me to provide you some quick steps?

I am running ICS 4.0.4/IMM76L so I should be good. I just ran adb logcat and dumped the logs. Worked fine. So after I receive the notification but before downloading and installing I need to run logcat, correct?

You got it. Just output the logcat to a text file and then search the text file for "android.clients.google.com". Post the URL here. Simple as that. :) Thanks for your help!
