I made this small app to download and install the latest update for the xoom for those of us that are rooted. It's very basic but works. Hope my 30 min is worth while
After install re-root by:
adb remount && adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
thanks
This will help many! Thank you.
Thanks JRummy worked like a charm
App worked like a charm for me. Took me a while to get adb loaded on my wife's laptop but otherwise smooth as silk..
3.0.1 and rooted and running at 1504.
Thank for the app!

Worked like a charm. But I'm not near a computer for a couple days. Any way to re-root from the xoom using terminal emulator or the like?
Didnt work for me, same issue as the OTA update.
Xoom reboots, for a few seconds theres the android with the cogs, then suddenly it turns into download mode (android with ! triangle).
A few minutes later the xoom reboots and im back where i started... could it be my renaming lots of files in the /app folder?

That is exactly your problem.... you renamed system apps. Change the names back to the original and you should be fine.
Ended up flashing stock again and the update works. But was it the kernel or the app renaming i wonder... quadrant scores are seem lower than before 1700.

Not sure if this is 100% necessary.
I'm in Germany (thanks, Army), and came home to an update notification on my Xoom. I got excited about SD functionality and Flash, so I updated without thinking.
With the official 3.0.1 update, the only thing that I noticed was that SetCPU wasn't functioning due to loss of root user priveleges. I re-flashed rootboot.img (might have been unnecessary), and fixed the permissions on the su binary.
Maybe this is more of a problem for those of you who are stateside, but can anyone else confirm that this issue is as minor as the "fix?" Since we still need to drop down to a terminal, we might as well accept the update then fix permissions. I think maybe a script that combines these two tasks would better serve the community.

I actually didn't upgrade market this way but it got updated on it's own but reverted back to original market because it wouldn't let me upgrade or download new apps it would say it download it but it would never install them. So for now I'll be sticking to the old market. In case you want the old market pull it from stock rom or a rom like plainjane and then replace it and delete the market updater this will let you keep the market without it getting updated.

This is made for the galaxy tab IO version (altho it would probably boot on the 'v' also, provided you have a recovery which can flash test key signed images).
sweet thanks a lot been wanting sqlite3! Do you know is it possible to add python to the mix? I've been able to get the python binary working on the tab but don't know how to link up the libraries.
Ill look in to it.

this does not put an su file/binary in bin.
you must have had other things in prior to flashing this.
remove the su file from bin, and reflash the .zip for good measure (in case you have broken links elsewhere, etc.).
That fixed it thanks. Not sure how the other su got there just followed root instructions from other thread

when you flash this you will be rooted/have root capabilities when you return to the OS, so there is no need to do another method on top of this.

It should work if you install via Root Explorer (package installer) and reboot.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App
I installed it like any other app on cm7 rc11. Now works almost fine. I didnt use root explorer or anything else at all. Maybe the package has problems. Download it from android central stie or androidandme site and try again.
That was easy.
Downloaded from the multiupload direct link, installer ran it automatically, then it installed quick like a bunny.
Surprised that the app is pretty snappy now after a sluggish first impression.

I just installed it on my Motorola Droid 1. It works great! better than the old app market. This new is look SWEET!!!! This new app is awesome!!!
Have also installed it now, on top of iceandfire/CM7. Installed it normally (no Rootexplorer) and the market is working flawlessly.
Seems like this version of Android Market downloads to /cache instead of /sdcard/downloads (as in the CM version). Since I have dalvik-cache on /cache, downloads/updates for large apps fail :/

I don't understand something about this new market. How the heck am I supposed to update an app when there is only one app that has an update? I click the app and it says open, then I go back and it shows an update still. It doesn't show an 'update all' button like when there are multiple apps that have updates.
EDIT: The app, it insists on staying in the update available list even when it is already updated. The only way to resolve this was to reboot. This new market has some bugs that need fixed, as with any first release. The honeycomb market had quite a few issues as well when it first came out, but they have since then been resolved.
Isn't the new market slower than the current one for you guys?
i like the new markwt because of its design

Or what they would like to say... "We have a fix for your silly root so we can continue to charge for hot spotting which should be free. Also Lowell only made 7.1 million last year with stock options. How is he to feed his family on that?"
Ungrateful customers... This business would run so much smoother with out you.
Don't see any point in updating due to losing root and because there's no Devs around to even make a ROM for V9.
What about the OTA rootkeeper app? I used it on my tablet to keep root
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
never tried it.. The OTA hasn't come to me yet but I will test what current methods out there will work. Chances are the OTA Rootkeeper is probably the same thing that was first tried when going from V7 to V8 with the local.prop file but we shall see.

Is there a good way to block the update?
I don't care about the V9 update and want to keep root on V8. Is there a good way to do that? I remember that freezing the OTA module was one way to do it, but I'm hoping that someone that really knows what is best will offer some advice.
V9 does break root initially but just run the exploit from djrbliss for the LG Esteem and it works fine. Maybe have to re-install certain apps like Root Explorer and SetCPU..

I spoke too soon. My BT was on before freezing update and it stayed on. I just toggled it off and now won't turn on, even in settings. Will try to unfreeze update to try to repeat.
Ok, just defrosted software update, started bluetooth, refroze update, and can use bluetooth without issue.
You may have to keep BT on all the time while having update frozen.

Easy. Open Titanium Backup, Go to "Backup/Restore", Click to edit filters, enter Software Update then Apply. Touch the Software Update app then select Freeze. Done.
Remember to have Bluetooth running before freezing update and don't turn it off. Also, I think you need TB Pro to defrost but you may be able to freeze/defrost with something else like Rom Toolbox.
Thanks dadecamp for posting the method for freezing the OTA updater. I was able to stop it at 87% ;-)
Bluetooth has stopped toggling for me also, but since I never use it I'm OK with that.
