Truly a god among mere mortals. Thanks BRD!
[Xoom Android Development] gerbick:
That's what's weird. Root Explorer has root. So does Autostarts.

However when I use JRummy's BusyBox installer, it says that it doesn't have root. Upon re-run, I'm given an option to install, but 1.18.4 error on permissions.

EDIT: On reboot, it works. Okay, I'm having hokey results with root. Weird.

EDIT #2: Now Titanium won't locate my Pro key. What gives!?
[Xoom Android Development] cat2115:
Copy all needed zips to root of MicroSD. --> is this where it should belong /external folder?

At Step 5: Return to main menu. Do a "wipe data/factory reset". Do I to do this "wipe data/factory reset" in the CWM? or in xoom-->setting

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] kevdog:
is there a way to do this update without an sdcard ie using fastboot? Does the boot.ing file contain the necessary files or do I need to use rom kitchen to build it properly?

Thanks for any inputt
[Xoom Android Development] siscim23:
Copy the files to the card through your computer after you mount it.

Wipe through CWM
[Xoom Android Development] starcms:
Question 1: They can be anywhere on your actual/external SDcard. The root is just fine.

Question 2: In CWM! Steps 2-5 MUST all be done inside of one session of clockwork (meaning: NO REBOOTING IN BETWEEN STEPS!!!)

Also, BRD's note "NOTE: Your internal storage (aka /sdcard) will be safe from this wipe. However, all other userdata will be wiped." ONLY applies to wipes INSIDE of CWM, NOT in xoom->settings
[Xoom Android Development] kiwiruss:
Thankyou oh masters of the Xoom.

I spent a ton of time yesterday trying to revert back to stock, remove CWr and flash the 3.1 update which didnt work. Only today after putting CWr back on and following your great guide was I successful !.

HORAH !
[Xoom Android Development] dadoc04:
working perfect.... good lookin out BRD
[Xoom Android Development] 760hacker:
I still have not seen this answered so here we go if I have already rooted and upgraded to 3.1 how or what can I do to get the added benefits included here?
[Xoom Android Development] brijahn:
Chill

Remove your card from the device, put it in a card reader, browse files on your pc. All of your files are still there, you just cant see the card on your xoom (because your looking in the wrong place)
[Xoom Android Development] le_pere_noel:
same question here :D, and if possible without any wype :p.

One more question is the CIFS module include in this build ?
[Xoom Android Development] dscribe:
I had already done this but was having some issues after my upgrade so I applied this thread's update per the OPs instructions and everything is smooth as a baby's butt now.
[Xoom Android Development] 760hacker:
finally an answer thank you I assume you noticed no adverse affects

stuck at honeycomb animation

I followed all the instructions to the letter...now I am stuck at the Honeycomb boot animation. Not sure what my next step should be. Any help? any way to manually boot into cloclwork so I can reflash?

***fixed Held down volume down when booting and was able to get into recovery
[Xoom Android Development] burden010:
What do you mean by BR? Is your's a non-US Xoom? If so did you already have a US image flashed before updating?
[Xoom Android Development] dscribe:
Well, auto brightness does not seem to be working for some reason but I don't have any problem with setting my brightness manually anyway.
[Xoom Android Development] treefrog20012003:
Worked like the op stated, couldn't have been easier. Thank you!
[Xoom Android Development] xmellyx:
I have a 3g and didn't know that. Sorry and good luck.
[Xoom Android Development] starcms:
Wipe is mandatory or u get stuck in a bootloop. However, u can backup all apps+data+settings with Titanium and restore after install of 3.1 with no issues whatsoever.

Also, no, I do not believe CIFS is included; but I'm sure BRD will have a kernel out within a day or two. :D
[Xoom Android Development] starcms:
No problems with auto brightness here :confused:
[Xoom Android Development] starcms:
Read over the last few pages. Someone else was having the exact same problem and posted their solution.
[Xoom Android Development] jediman:

[Xoom Android Development] le_pere_noel:
Thks for your answer so I will stay with my stock 3.1 without Sd and wait for a kernel. I really like the cfis module :p

goGo Brd :D
[Xoom Android Development] apollyon0810:
Well I flashed and installed according to the instructions, and everything appears to have gone accordingly, I do have one problem. All the text renders oddly. It looks smashed up and kinda flashes. I have add streaks thru my buttons too. Anybody else having these odd problems?

My Xoom appears to be normal except for the odd text and button rendering. Solutions? Suggestions?
[Xoom Android Development] starcms:
Rinse, wash, and repeat steps 2-5? Maybe you got a bad download.
[Xoom Android Development] dean_fx:
Worked like a charm, not a doubt in my mind it wouldn't.

Thanks BRD! You'da'man!
[Xoom Android Development] jediman:
+ 1

Does the provide steps cover this or what?

Also can we get a full step by step instructional piece for those of us who are still fairly new to rooting and romming the xoom (no stranger to the droid 2).
[Xoom Android Development] akodoreign:
Ok, For those out here who do not know. You can send adb commands about 1 minute into being stuck in honeycomb boot screen. adb reboot recovery will get you to where you can do a factory reset. (even though the device is not completely booted)

Tested : Wifi model.
[Xoom Android Development] crazy cat:
Worked without problem. The system language is EN and ES only (for me).
[Xoom Android Development] akodoreign:
Do the persistance fix ( I mentioned earlier in the thread) flash clockwork mod.

From clockwork flash only the system image

Wipe data (will get stuck at honeycomb screen if you don't)

If you do get stuck wait about 1 minute into the honeycomb screen of death and send adb reboot recovery. It does work. Wipe again (factory/cache) it should then boot. :)

Happy honeycombing ! :)
[Xoom Android Development] baronmax:
I'm in love with my Xoom again! Thanks BRD! The scrolling is sooooooooo smooth and fast now, like with my phone. Before it was choppy and just bleh, even when overclocked.

Thank you and thanks to all the people who put time and effort into making this work properly! :)

If you can follow directions, it's easy as pie to update to 3.1.
[Xoom Android Development] cur8or:
To get out of boot loop

For those stuck in boot loop - if you did bootloader patch - rebooting (power/up arrow) and then pressing down arrow right after will get you to menu where recovery mode should be available.

If for some reason you didn't apply that patch - it won't give you that option, at that point most painless is probably to do "fastboot OEM Unlock" (post 293 by gigafast), then unzip new recovery CWM from OP and do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (post 281 by xmellyx). Then you'll be able to get to CWM and you are back in business.
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
All of this is done directly from the Xoom ?.
[Xoom Android Development] cur8or:
Run fastboot commands from your PC, same location where Android SDK tools are (ADB, etc).
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
But in the OP it's says copy file to SD Card which is external on the Xoom . The thing is i had External SD working until yesterday i tried install 3.1 Honey Comb from a method on My Droid World and at the final step i was having some problems so i stop and decided to wait for an easier method . I ended up back on Stock Kernel and this doesn't seem to recognize my external storage . I boot into recovery and installed a theme i had which is on SDCard2 that went well . When i tried to install any of the Tiamat Kernels which are on SDCard2 it does not go through the Kernels are there but when i click to install it takes me to a Screen saying System and External is not showing up in recovery . Kernel Manager use to work for me and now it does't it start downloading the Kernel and then stop . I'm also getting an error when try fixing permissions from rom manager
[Xoom Android Development] Jeff K:
Has anyone installed this update on a Canadian WiFi XOOM? Will it work?
[Xoom Android Development] Ambrosios:
i have done it on mine.....but u will lost the languages on the xoom

and for some reason....the model is no longer mz604 but hmj33 (or something like that)

i went back to the build.prop and changed it after....

but its running snappier
[Xoom Android Development] eaglecomm:
Anyone get a 'signature verification failed' message?

In recovery.. trying to run 'new_recovery'.

Verifying update package...

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted...

System is not rooted. Does it have to be? I am on 3.1 already, but would like to test out whether I can get SDCard support by rerunning the zips.

Thoughts?
[Xoom Android Development] mbroeders:
Faulty download? Try downloading again. It should work without errors...
[Xoom Android Development] slinkz:
Just flashed mine. Works with added bonus of Google Books and Google Music beta.
[Xoom Android Development] Mr Bland:
Did the update last night, every seems to work beautifully.. Thanks BRD. The only minor hitch I had was I couldn't copy the zip files to my SD, kept getting a system error. So I transferred all my data off the SD to the xooms internal, for some reason that worked fine, flashed the SD in clockwork, then everything worked fine.
[Xoom Android Development] dbutters:
hrm... installed the update, everything seems to work, except for one thing: the home key doesn't seem to do anything. It highlights in response to my tap, but it doesn't take me home. ??

Running a Verizon 3G Xoom. Please let me know if I can provide any other info to anyone interested in taking a look.
[Xoom Android Development] Ambrosios:
are you using stock recovery to update? you have to be rooted and have clockworkmod recovery to work.....

if you use stock recovery...you will get an signature fail because it can't verify the file
[Xoom Android Development] mbroeders:
You don't have to be rooted to install CWR, but you will have to be unlocked. If you aren't unlocked, follow this guide...
[Xoom Android Development] cinajohn:
I seem to be stuck at the 'dual core' screen. Hit the arrow and can use fastboot but not sure what I should try. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] eaglecomm:
Yes, was using stock recovery. Tried CWM but, since my external SDCard doesn't work, I have no way to load up the files. Through stock recovery, it will read from the OTG Host cable to access the files. :(

Maybe I will try to rename it update.zip and copy the files to the internal storage and run it from there. EDIT: Can't get this part to work. CWM always seems to read /sdcard as external. And running the 'mount USB storage' doesn't load up the OTG USB drive like stock recovery does. :(
[Xoom Android Development] tribalb:
you must have forgot to wipe userdata/cache like i did. if you cant get to the options from hard reboot and tapping down. use fastboot to wipe and reboot. only thing like myself you will lose the new recovery and all data on internal sd. you will still have 3.1. you will gonna need to reinstall CWR and flash recovery through CWR. boot into recovery again. and then reinstall the new recovery. you will then see external again through whatever file manager you use. unfortunately like i said before,your internal will be wiped completely because fastboot wipe will wipe everything. sucks but gets you out that bootloop.
[Xoom Android Development] cinajohn:
Thanks!

so 'fastboot erase userdata'?

Then I should be able to boot at which point reboot to CWM and will only have to flash the new 3.1 recovery?

Thanks again.

[Xoom Android Development] dj_ghosie:
Oh gosh, you saved my xoom's life! Thank you so much!
[Xoom Android Development] cur8or:
BTW, even if you did 'fastboot erase userdata' to get out of boot loop (happened to me) - if you did CWM backup (in CWM or via ROM manager) you can restore everything back to 3.0.1 and re-try 3.1 update following all the steps :)
[Xoom Android Development] teo91:
If I understand you put the zip in the sd and then we will be launching in CWM and the zip around a post?
[Xoom Android Development] tribalb:
"fastboot -w" that's the conmand to wipe. Then "fastboot reboot" then once u have sign in and all that. Reinstall CWR and flash recovery. Reboot into recovery. Go to install zip in sd. Ur external should be still there and you should still have the new recovery file there. Flash like normal. When everything is booted up again. You will see external folder again
[Xoom Android Development] cinajohn:
I am actually able to get into CWM recovery. I re-did the steps in OP but still am getting stuck at 'dual core'.

Have tried the fastboot wipe, no luck.
[Xoom Android Development] wsuo2006:
update runs smoothly. But all the programs are gone abd have to be reinstalled.

Is it supposed to be this way, or I did something wrong?
[Xoom Android Development] Ambrosios:
this is correct........there was a post in there that says u should backup using titanium backup before doing this because you need to do a factory reset on the xoom
[Xoom Android Development] wsuo2006:
i did the backup, but when I install titanium, it could not acquire root privilege
[Xoom Android Development] opsahl:
Mostly working great, wifi only xoom.

Market has issues searching some times, which is prob 3.1, not the mod.

Titanium backup doesn't recognize my pro license now, even though it says it detected it. Will talk to dev on that one.

:)
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
Install busybox from the market. I believe the developer name is Stericson.

Then restart titanium, should recognize your apps.
[Xoom Android Development] eaglecomm:
all working fine now..

Ever since the initial tiamat kernel supporting sd cards I have not been able to get my sd card working. Formatted in an android phone, formatted using Windows format to FAT32 using multiple computers.... nada.

Until today.. i was sent to look for a 'SD Formatter' application which came from sdcard.org. I formatted my sdcard using it and did a Full (erase) format.. now the Xoom sees it! Amazing.

And the band plays on......

Thanks for the work as usual BRD.
[Xoom Android Development] wsuo2006:
It seems to work now. Another thing I found strange is that google didn't automatically reinstall the appls form the market (it did before).

Thanks for the update, you guys are genius!
[Xoom Android Development] jrezin:
Yes non-us xoom, wifi model from Brazil. looks like canadian/brazilian/european wifi models are almost the same.

the us system img is flashed in this update by BDR, i just flashed from previous tiamat directly following the instructions in the first post. (but checked some eu model owners' successful reports before trying...)
[Xoom Android Development] cinajohn:
nvm, redownloaded and tried from scratch a few times, finally took.

Thanks for your help!
[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
Yeah, this came up in my uastring thread. The system files for the different models are still not the same, so since this patch uses the US 3G Xoom as the base you will lose the additional languages/etc found in other models. This can be fixed in the future by using a different base or merging the differences (I can't imagine why they are still different in 3.1). You'll also probably want to use the US 3G version of any themes/mods
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
tried to read as many posts as possible, here's a few unanswered questions... if you guys don't mind!

1) Can we do all this while using a custom kernel (for me --> Tiamat 1.3.2)

2) Canada WIFI-only? Seems like the same as U.S. only but maybe not?

3) THANKS BIGRUSHDOG!!!

Any idea?
[Xoom Android Development] IXIKelsonIXI:
I updated through the method detailed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1073884

How do I go about getting the benefits from the method in this thread? For starters, I can't get CWM to stick. When I try to do the persistence fix, it says "rm failed for /system/recovery-from-boot.p, Read only file system"

Also, I can't get my SD card to be read by my Xoom. When I do flash CWM and boot into it, I can see my SD card files there. But my sdcard/external shows up as empty.
[Xoom Android Development] umbra6:
If you have root explorer or another file manager that can write to the system folder do this:

Browse to /system/, find that file, then rename it to recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.p.old.

Then browse to /system/etc/ and rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.old.

Open Rom Manager and then flash CWR then reboot into recovery to see if that stuck.

I installed the update yesterday and ran into the same problem. I did what I typed above and it worked. I then followed the first post of this thread to get access to my sdcard back.
[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
you need to do 'adb remount' first
[Xoom Android Development] IXIKelsonIXI:
Perfect, looks like it stuck. Thanks guys.

How about the SD card issue?
[Xoom Android Development] Ambrosios:
answer to your question...

1) i did mine while i was using tiamat 1.4.1.......i think i should work for 1.3.2....since you are doing most of the work in CWM.....if you really worry....u can always start from stock (i am sure there are instructions somewhere for this...too lazy to look)

2) i have a canadian wifi zoom........turned into US zoom after 3.1 update.......seems this update is from verizon because if u check the build.prop it has reference to cdma.....but its working fine with my wifi zoom....
[Xoom Android Development] Ballzdeeeper:
I was able to get a successful install of 3.1, but because I couldn't access my external sdcard through the Xoom I had to play figure out a work around.

I copied all the files to both the internal and external storage (using a card reader) so when I used CWM to start the install, the file names on the internal I was able to access were the same on the external. Bit of a pain, but worth it for rocking 3.1
[Xoom Android Development] juDGEY2k10:

[Xoom Android Development] dixon_coxon:
Excellent work bigrushdog and all who made this upgrade possible!!!!

I'm @ work and I need to upgrade my wifi xoom as soon as possible. My problem is that i'm on tiamat 1.1.6 (without sc_card support).

1. What is the best way to upgrade my kernel without adb?

2. Can I use clockwork mod from the market to upgrade my kernel from 1.1.6 to 1.4.1?
[Xoom Android Development] emplox:
So you can only access the SD Card from CWM, correct? You can't mount it via HC yet in Windows?
[Xoom Android Development] dixon_coxon:
I cannot access the external sdcard I can only get to the internal sdcard.
[Xoom Android Development] Lakota:
UK WiFi OK

It worked OK on mine.

Thanks for the hard work guys.

I use File Manager HD, and i can access my SD Card with it. It's under /Storage/External/ I just didn't know if you could mount it.

Verizon as carrier for Wifi Xoom

I noticed in the web Android market my list of devices has a new entry for my Xoom. It now shows Verizon as the carrier even though I only have the wifi version. Will there be any updates to a more proper wifi update? Seems to be some cross pollination between the two versions (3G and wifi).

Either way, thanks for this easy update!
[Xoom Android Development] andr0id23:
I'm sorry, but this needs to be said: For all the people having problems installing or losing data, I'm sorry. But for the people getting mad and trying to play the blame game, chill out. If you don't have everything you don't wanna lose backed up, it's no ones fault but your own. The OP may say one thing, but if you don't know things sometimes don't go exactly as planned, you shouldn't be doing this stuff anyway. When you start rooting and hacking you take on a certain responsibility which is posted all over these forums. If you can't make your own roms/hacks/kernels then you are at the mercy of the devs who can and need to be willing to accept the bad with the good. And again, if you don't have a backup of any files/media you don't wanna lose and you do indeed lose it, noone 'dropped the ball' but yourself. You can't take someone else's word that you wont lose anything.

That being said, everything worked great for me. 3.1 is running great. Overall everything feels faster and smoother. Great job BRD. Thanks.

I think it depends on the route taken to 1.4.1. I skipped 1.4.0 (due to issues with mass storage by many) and went straight from 1.3.2 to 1.4.1 so I also have my sd card at sdcard2 rather than external.
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
