Thanks. I rooted my device only to get rid of those 2 games everything else is stock. Glad to know I don't have to load 10gbs worth of music back on here :) thanks coming your way
[Xoom General] Arun01:
crap I have no update yet either!!
[Xoom General] Xatt:
Google only sent a small number out last night. It will proably take a few days for all the Xooms to get the update.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
Can we change the title of the thread. Motorola just announced March 18th date for 10.2 flash on zoom :)
[Xoom General] morbos:
Done
[Xoom General] mrsexkey:
I just rebooted and it still says last check was 640am.
[Xoom General] morbos:
Disabling date and time check and changing the date DOES appear to force an update check (time changes). Was mentioned a few pages ago.
[Xoom General] skullvet:
Yeah, rebooting doesn't work. I tried that also. I left mine on all night (standby of course) and the update was waiting for me in the am (6 am eastern).
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Yeah, sorry. The changing time/date method seems more effective.
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
why has no one pulled the update.zip so we can all have it? If you get the update notification copy the update.zip before you iinstall and post it.
[Xoom General] jm9843:
Don't you have to look at a log to find the update url somehow or is the update cached to the device somewhere?

Please explain what those who are willing to help should look for and maybe they will.
[Xoom General] mjforte:
I force checked for the update by doing the date/time change but it still says I'm up to date.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
I just rebooted to make it check for the update and it found it... It's just about done installing it.
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
Well normally on android phones when you get the notice to update, the update is already downloaded and is sitting in /SDcard as update.zip. when you install the updat eand restart the update.zip is erased so the trick is to copy the update.zip before you restart.
[Xoom General] dsmarsh:
I wish I would have seen this thread before I restarted. Does anyone know of a way to get the update.zip after that?
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
I lost root. su in terminal tells me 'permission denied'...
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
You could check your /SD card for update.zip and cross your fingers lol
[Xoom General] jasnmar:
In previous releases it has removed the file when you reboot, so it hasn't been possible to get it after it is applied.

jason
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Fixed root quite easily, just ran 'adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su'
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
Can people with the OC kernel receive the update automatically?
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
I did, and I still have my 1.5ghz kernel.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Has anyone tried the Flash 10.1 installation yet with the new update?

It doesn't open on a 3.0 tablet, I wonder if that's changed on a 3.0.1 tablet.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
Thanks mate! You just put my mind to rest with regards to having to back up everything...
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
No, 3.0.1 changes nothing. Gotta wait for 10.2.
[Xoom General] mattdb:
Where there any changes to how the display looks? I guess what I am wandering is if they updated the Graphic engine any?
[Xoom General] lightlytoasted:
Wish I could post the update.zip for everyone. Keep checking that update....
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
ok guys tricked my system into giving me the update and i found the file. Will upload in a second. It was downloaded into the /cache directory.
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
here is a drop box link for it. I have no idea what you need to do to get the system to update. Idk if just placing this in cache will do it or not.

http://db.tt/qbTyvR6
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Thank you!

So, I'm guessing if we drop it into our cache directories (for rooted folks [edit] my bad. Cache is accessible without root.), and reboot, we should get updated? [edit[ Nope. Doesn't work that way. lol

I just put it in the SD card folder and rebooted with the power button and volume button pressed. It's on a screen that says "Starting RSD Protocol Support". What now?

Ok. I'm in Android recovery. It's not giving me any options, so I suppose I need to do this from the prompt on my pc.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
how do we apply this?
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
Did you try a normal reboot first and see if itit grabs it?
[Xoom General] p-slim:
i tried a normal reboot with it in the cache directory and that didn't work. i will try a normal reboot with it on the root of the sd card
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
I'm in Android recovery. It's not giving me any options. What do I need to do from the command prompt to push the update.zip?

[edit]

Nevermind. I just had to select android recovery. I have a little green android with an exclamation sign now. Waiting....
[Xoom General] p-slim:
i can only get fastboot, how do you get to android recovery?
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
I get unable to chmod /system/bin/us: read only file system.

How did you gget passed this
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
I'm not really sure how I did it.

I was in RSD, and rebooted it with the volume down button held. It said "android recovery" at the top. Hitting volume down let me scroll through a choice of RSD, Recovery, and Fastboot. I hit up on the volume button to select recovery.

Now it's stuck on the little green droid.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
adb remount
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
I wouldn't suggest anyone else do this...
[Xoom General] p-slim:
I downloaded android terminal emulator then typed reboot recovery now im at the green android also. im trying to figure out how to get the update to apply now
[Xoom General] lightlytoasted:
On little green droid, hold power and volume up. I cant get it to find the update.zip though.
[Xoom General] mpmorph:
Deployment has been very slow. I'm in the tampa bay area, i'm paying verizon a month to month plan (sucker i know :( ) Have restarted my Xoom several times during day and no update has been pushed. WTF?
[Xoom General] p-slim:
when i do that mine just says starting rsd protocol support 3 but i think its frozen
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Ok. I'm getting somewhere.

Reboot into fastboot by holding power and vol down.

In your command prompt, type in

fastboot reboot recovery

Hit enter

You get a list of commands for the recovery.

This is where I'm stuck. It says to flash the update, type

update <filename>

But that gives me an error.

I tried:

fastboot update update.zip (i renamed the file, by the way)

and it says the file cannot be found.

tried:

fastboot update sdcard/update.zip

Nada.
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
what i did to get the update to force was manually set my clock ahead like 3 or 4 hours, then go into about phone and check for updates and it downloaded imediately
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
perhaps try /cache/update.zip
[Xoom General] lightlytoasted:
Heres my steps:

Power down

Power up,

didn't

hold down Volume Down

Dual core screen displays, tapped Volume Down until Android Recovery displays

Volume up when Android Recovery displays

Green Droid displays

Tap Power and Volume Up

Now there is a menu, reboot, apply update from usb, wipe data, wipe cache

When i choose update from usb, it says failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
Tried that, even a few days, nothing. Rebooted several times. Nothing *sigh* Again, patience is the key :)
[Xoom General] quordandis:
I JUST got the update. I see the file sitting in my /cache directory. The filename is 99b3b5f5dcde.signed-trygon-HRI66-from-HRI39.00b3b5f5.zip

Now, I'm rooted and unlocked. Can someone who is rooted and unlocked who installed the update confirm that nothing gets erased or locked?

Thanks!

PS - Here's my file in case anyone needs it: http://db.tt/5YK6Ml1
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
It's simply failing to load the update.zip

I even moved it to the root folder with rootexplorer. No dice.
[Xoom General] roebeet:
If someone gets this, try to see if the update.zip shows up in /sdcard BEFORE you reboot. That's how other tablets do their updates.

Mine is running stock at the moment (not rooted) and I haven't gotten the update yet. We just need to figure out how they are doing this and where the zip file is being dropped (assuming it's an update.zip file).

EDIT: Didin't read the post from 5 minutes ago, my bad! I just grabbed that file. It's an update.zip for sure. A very small one.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
It's dropping to the cache folder,

However, as soon as you navigate away from the folder, it deletes. At least for me it does.

[EDIT]

Ok. This is odd.

When I drop the update.zip into the root folder OR the sdcard folder and try to update it in recover, it actually disappears altogether once I reboot.
[Xoom General] mpmorph:
Thanks for the tip, that works a lot better than restarting the device. Very nice trick to force the xoom do a check.

But still no go, I even change the date to next month, and still no update. Apparently there's no cheating DAH-MAN. I guess we shall get it when DAH-MAN decides to. LOL
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
i was rooted and it updated fine. you will have to fix root permissions after though

just go into terminal and do this

adb remount

adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
[Xoom General] lightlytoasted:
When you say cache folder do you mean /sdcard/cache/update.zip ?
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
no just /cache from root
[Xoom General] mjforte:
Yeah I noticed the same thing happened to me when I dropped the file on the root folder.
[Xoom General] lightlytoasted:
Thanks. So I need root access? How can I put the update.zip in /cache ?
[Xoom General] roebeet:
Going on experience with other tablets, the file goes into /cache first, then get copied to the root of /sdcard then reboots into recovery to run that file.

There could be a /recovery/command file as well, at least going on my GTAB experience. Again, it's hard to say as this update hasn't dropped on my system yet.

EDIT: Dropping it into /sdcard and rebooting into recovery doesn't seem to work - I probably don't have the entire picture, yet. We might be missing some trigger file, or perhaps this file gets dropped somewhere else besides the root of /sdcard.

Btw, this really is a patch and I can understand why stock is recommended. If you altered anything in /system, this patch might not work. I would recommend running this as clean stock, then re-rooting afterwards as I don't see a kernel change in here - that mean's the koush's boot.img (and all the other images out there) should still work fine.
[Xoom General] shivian:
Same. Sads.
[Xoom General] lightlytoasted:
So no one has been able to force update? I just tried putting update.zip on an actual SD card. Its like Android Recovery doesn't have access to anything.
[Xoom General] morbos:
Tossed it all over the storage, reboots, recovery, etc. No luck here.
[Xoom General] cybrwulf:
Instructions from Koush. Need to have root.

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2011/03/manually-updating-your-rooted-xoom.html
[Xoom General] jaypeezee:
I've got the update waiting, just waiting for my battery to charge up a bit more--

If someone cares to try and explain how to pull the update, I'd be more than happy to do so. Just need instructions :-)

Never mind, someone already has.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Koush's tut says this

1. Download the update.zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?hxmkxdafhkahi41

2. adb push <zip name> /sdcard/update.zip

3. flash to stock bootimage (http://mirror1.kanged.net/motorola/stingray/stockboot.img)

4. adb shell

5. su

6. cd /cache

7. mkdir recovery #it may already exist

8. cd recovery

9. echo '--update_package=CACHE:/recovery/update.zip' > command

10. cat /sdcard/update.zip > update.zip

11. reboot recovery

Does that "Flash Stock Bootimage" mean I have to wipe my XOOM?
[Xoom General] GreatWhiteDan:
So I am getting Download Failed when I try to download the update. I get the HRI66 update in system updates, and click to download, but then it tells me the download fails and gives me to option to repeat. I am unlocked, rooted, but no other mods.

Anyone else see this?
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
i think thats depending on if you modded your system or not. i was rooted but that was it so the update took. i would think you could skip that step if you haven't fiddled with things.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Ok. I tried with skipping the bootimage step. When I get to the part:

9. echo '--update_package=CACHE:/recovery/update.zip' > command

do I type all of that? I tried that, and everything after it, and it doesn't do anything. Even recovery reboot does nothing.

Ok. Nevermind. I must have mistyped something the first time.

Now I'm back to the green android screen. I'm assuming this worked...waiting.
[Xoom General] mjforte:
No need to skip the stock image flashing. It does not wipe data
[Xoom General] mjforte:
I just got finished following Koush's instructions and booted back up and I now have the update! All my data is also intact!
[Xoom General] p-slim:
looks like i have to wait till after work, no adb here
[Xoom General] mjforte:
Well 2 issues now, I have an error in wifi and no root access...I try to adb remount and it says operation not permitted. now what?
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
If you're not rooted, looks like you're going to have to wait for the OTA.

I'm in the same boat.
[Xoom General] mjforte:
No, I was rooted and followed Koush's instructions and applied the update manually, but now I have no root access and my wifi isn't working either.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Doh!

Really sucks that there's no manual update for unrooted folks.
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
to fix root do

adb remount

adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su then reboot
[Xoom General] mjforte:
It won't let me adb remount. Says: remount failed: Operation not permitted
[Xoom General] kellexbarr:
Pretty sure that's the new boot image not allowing that...hmmm
[Xoom General] mjforte:
Ok I reflashed the rootboot.img and now I can remount adb. Got my root access back. Now to figure out how to get wifi back.
[Xoom General] mjforte:
And I now have Wifi back! I reflashed the 1.5ghz overclock kernel and now I'm good to go. I have the 3.0.1 update, rooted, and overclocked kernel and all my data is intact. Took a little messing around to get everything working, but glad it's done.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
I'm on the recovery screen. How long to I have to wait for the little green droid? Should I see a menu?
[Xoom General] lightlytoasted:
Which recovery screen are you on? What does it say?
[Xoom General] mjforte:
Did you follow Koush's instructions? Once you reboot to recovery, you should see a progress bar below the green android. Once the progress bar finishes filling your device should reboot.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Yes. I followed the instructions exactly. My green android had a triangle with an exclamation point, and finally rebooted, but the update didn't go through.
[Xoom General] spiderboyy:
I'm having the same problem, I followed the instructions to the letter. Can anyone post a screenshot of their command line, maybe I could see what I did wrong?
[Xoom General] JaxDomino:
Noticably faster and smoother.
[Xoom General] mjforte:
Weird, noticed Koush changed the instructions where you didn't have to flash the stock image first. Anyways, I'm not sure why you guys are having problems, because I followed all the instructions and once I rebooted into recovery, it installed the update and rebooted. Once it went to recovery I didn't have to do anything, it was all automated.
[Xoom General] JaxDomino:
Correct. I have the stock kernal.
[Xoom General] jlcutler:

[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
I put the update zip in the tools folder of my android sdk.

Still having no luck.
[Xoom General] spiderboyy:
Oh I'm a jackass, I got it to work.
[Xoom General] mjforte:
Anyone else with the update notice with Pulse that it doesn't do the fragments anymore? It functions just like on the phone now. Does it need to be updated to work with 3.0.1?
[Xoom General] El Daddy:
Really? That sucks. I haven't gotten the update yet but pulse is one of my favorite apps. Make sure you contact the developer and let them know.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
I think my recovery is bork'd. I got the status bar for a second on the recovery screen, then the android had his little exclamation mark again.

Where are you guys pushing your update.zip from? The Tools folder?
[Xoom General] mjforte:
I just emailed them to let them know.
[Xoom General] El Daddy:
cool. hopefully it's fixed soon!
[Xoom General] aliziaee:
Has everyone here received their OTA update? I still don't seem to have received mine.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:

It appears that some users are literally typing in "then reboot"

To be clear, the exact commands are:

adb remount

adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

Then reboot!
[Xoom General] aohus:
+1 no update from california neither. using wifi for OTA update.
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
hahahaha my mistake
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
I think I'm going to need to relock and unroot. No one seems to be able to help.

If I made changes to the system inadvertently, will relocking and unrooting fix it?
[Xoom General] chernggoh:
no update here in CA either... last checked 1:18PM.

Seems like if you have 3G, you can turn it off and then on to force update check.
[Xoom General] lokko21:
I received the update like an hour ago let's say 1:20 something like that, WiFi only, Los Angeles.

Evo Better Than The Best...

[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
i joined the #xoom channel and got some help, make sure you copy everything in lines 8,9 from Koush's site linky
[Xoom General] opie2l:
I got the update in michigan..
[Xoom General] roebeet:
this is VERY similar to GTAB updates -- nice! Except instead of /sdcard, it runs off /cache (thus requiring root). It every uses a /recovery/command file, just like the GTAB.

Anyone know if their recovery requires signed updates?

EDIT: Koush instructions worked great - AWESOME.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
still no update here in ga
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
Use the manual method way easier, 3.0.1 FTW!!
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Halleluyah, I finally got it!

I downloaded the relock kit from motodev, and reflashed ONLY the system image and erased the cache. This took away my root, but allowed me to install the update. Now I just have to get my root access back and all is well. :D

OK, I got it.

If you are getting the error below, it's because you've edited something in the system folder. This means you need to reflash the system image and erase the cache.

Download the relocking kit from motodev.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot

Then follow Koush's steps to flashing the update.zip.
[Xoom General] roebeet:
We need to figure out how to rip out a new auto-rooted system.img from this update, and then be able to use it with fastboot for an instant rooted update file. It's not as hardware agnostic as an update.zip, but at least it would give us a clean rooted baseline for backouts.

In the Froyo days, we could use nandroid backups or mkfs.yaffs2 for this purpose. I need to find out how to do this on an ext4 filesytem, easily. (Anyone have any ideas for an Ubuntu user?)
[Xoom General] eloist:
No update in TN yet either...

Maybe motorola hates southerners haha
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Oh my god, thanks so much! I knew I was doing everything correctly, but I never thought the system folder was causing my update to fail every time. My update problem has now been solved. I'm updated, rooted, and loving it! You my friend are a lifesaver! :)
[Xoom General] parrotheadmjb:
I'm not going to read 18+ pages of response to find the answer, but is there any way to manually update without Root?
[Xoom General] morbos:
Not as things stand. Requires access to folders which require root.
[Xoom General] TWiG420:
I couldn't wait any longer to get the OTA here in Cali.. so I took the manual route and it worked perfectly.
