Rooted Motorola XOOMs to Receive 4G Upgrade, Here’s an SBF File Anyway
We were victims of quite a scare when it was suggested that rooted Motorola XOOM users would not be able to get their free 4G upgrade. While many weren’t concerned considering how easy it is to unroot, it was still a bit of a downer.
Motorola’s saying that’s not the case, though: rooted users can still send their XOOMs in to get the upgrade. The caveat is that you won’t get the software upgrade that may be required to enable the radio that they’ll still install. (We’re sure a ROM or two will pop up anyway, and it’s believed that any OTA upgrade will still prompt rooted users. Installing the update would cause you to lose root.)
Motorola says that you may unroot your device before sending it in if you wish to have the firmware upgrade applied. Thankfully, an SBF file for the tablet has been leaked for those who wish to return to stock. (And for those who somehow find themselves with an $800 paper weight.) You can download the file here.
