How to Update & Root Motorola Xoom with Honeycomb 3.2.2 Firmware version
Procedure to Update Motorola Xoom with Honeycomb 3.2.2:
- So, as soon as you are done with the list of pre requisites which are there in the last page you are now ready to proceed with the procedure to update Xoom. Download the Pre Rooted Stock Honeycomb 3.2.2 Zip Package from here and then you need to connect your Motorola Xoom with the computer using the USB cable which you got at the time of purchase.
- So, once you move the file into the Xoom, you need to ensure that you haven’t placed the zip file too deep into the sub folders, it’s preferable to place the file in the Root only. Once the file is placed successfully you now need to remove the USB cable connected and need to proceed to turn Off the Motorola Xoom so that you can then enter into the recovery mode.
- To get your Motorola Xoom into recovery mode, you need to first turn Off the device, press the Power ON button to turn ON the device and then when the Motorola’s Dual Core boot screen Logo appears you need to long press the Volume down key till you enter into the recovery mode. Once you enter the recovery screen, you now need to press the Volume up key to enter into the recovery mode.
- Now, once you enter into the recovery mode you will then have to make a Nandroid Backup so that just in case if you want to have the backup of your current ROM you can do it or else if you are not interested then you can skip this. After this you need to perform the factory reset which you can do it by selecting the corresponding option.
- Once you do the factory reset, the data along with the cache files will be deleted completely. After this all you need to do is to select the zip file which you placed by tapping on the option of “Install Zip”. After selecting the file it will take around 5 minutes to apply the firmware.
Note: Once firmware is updated and home screen is seen, then you need to again re configure the APN settings to access the data services or the Internet services as all the Internet APN settings will be reset. You will have to contact your Service provider to get more info on the APN Settings. Not to forget also configure the MMS Settings.
And there you go, as soon as the update is done the device will be rebooting on its own. Please note that it may take more than usual time to get booted up as it’s the first boot up since the firmware update. Do let us know in the comments section just in case if you face any issues while updating your device in the comments section as just in case if you face any issues then we will try to solve them at the earliest.
