Earlier we covered a guide on rooting and installing ClockworkMod the Asus Transformer Honecyomb Tablet running Android 3.1 (8.4.4.11), and while that worked, there were people who were having trouble with the method employed. Automated rooting or ClockworkMod recovery installation’s aren’t something new to hit the Android devices, but the Transformer was missing such a tool. Yes, ‘was’, because XDA-Developers forum member brk has just developed and released a Batch Script that not only lets you root the Transformer but gives you plenty of other options including unrooting your device.

Rumors have been going around the internet for a while, of a Honeycomb 3.2 update in the works for the Motorola Xoom Honeycomb tablet and that Xoom owners might be seeing it sooner then expected as an OTA. While the update may not have rolled out on massive scale, XDA-Developers forum member stachre has managed to release the 3.2 update for the Motorola Xoom Wi-Fi and put it up for download. According to him, the update has only been tested on a US Xoom Wi-Fi (MZ604) model running Honeycomb 3.1 stock, and he believes that if you try this update on a Xoom Wi-Fi based outside the US, or a model other then the US one, you may brick your phone. Similarly, trying this update on your Xoom 3G may brick it as well, so be very particular about this. Read More
