Did you find out? I was worried about the ICS update but I got it. Should I have the JB update by now?

I wish i could give @buythis more then one plus on this for the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?s=4ebb21269177432a6a10c3e7b589e8e2&t=1811747
Here is how i got it to work:
First, I went to ChainsDD website and got a flashable #SU for ARM devices (went with the 3.2 file). Placed that on my XOOM
Downloaded the JB.zip file and extract the folder to my PC desktop, then copied to the XOOM.
Once on the XOOM I made a nandroid in Rogue Recovery of my current system then did a factory reset, wiped cache, wiped davlik.
Went into restore, then choose the folder i extracted out of JB.zip and waited for the fun.
Once that finished, i flashed SU and rebooted.
I’m now on JRO03H 4.1.1 w/ root. I was getting MD5 errors when i tried to extract the folder on the XOOM and drag and dropping to the SD card. Copy paste worked.
I wish i could get my hands on a Nexus 7 to see how they compare.

The nexus s and the Gnex gsm already have JB. JBQ said that JB is exactly the same for the lte cdma as it is for the gsm variants. The only reason vzw doesn’t have it is because of their so called testing.

2.6 kernel? Why would they ship it with that…? My xoom has a 3.0.8 based kernel… Granted its an ICS kernel, but still. Running JB.

If I have a 3g Xoom because I got my hands on it second hand after the upgrades,which the previous owner missed, will I be getting jelly bean or do I need to do it myself like I did with my gnex??

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi is still running Honeycomb, at least in the US. This isn’t Verizon’s fault this time.

if this in fact true, then I’ll chalk it up as a great day. Nexus 7 tablet on JB and then my old faithful 4G Xoom on JB also, I can’t wait.

Nexus implies stock and unlockable
AOSP implies Google supplies all proprietary files to the masses

It does not mean you get and OTA from Google, but Google already made it you just have to build it and push it.

Nexus and AOSP supported are different, but since 4.1 the VZW Gnex is both of those. This is verizon’s fault no one elses.

your galaxy nexus isnt a nexus either. man up and put jelly bean on it yourself like the majority of people who own the damn phone did.
