Apply manual update on Xoom without an OTG cable So the ICS update came out for Xoom and applying it is straight forward enough - pretty much like in any other case. Except, it seems to require the OTG cable.

Would anybody know a way to do that without using such cable? I mean, applying the patch either from the internal memory or from the sd mount?
If you live in non-US country, then you can follow a guide for installing the US-based ICS on you Xoom that I've written up on my blog. The basic procedure is:


  
  Install Android SDK and Motorola USB drivers on your PC
  Download US honeycomb stock ROM from here
  Extract all files from this ZIP file into platform-tools folder under Android SDK
  Boot the device into fastboot mode.
  Then from command prompt (with current directory ‘sdk/platform-tools’) run following commands-
  
  fastboot oem unlock  (this is red pill, at this point your device warranty voids! welcome to matrix!!)
  fastboot flash boot boot.img
  fastboot flash system system.img
  fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
  fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
  fastboot erase cache
  
  now reboot the device
  go to settings -> about -> update, this will download subsequent ROM update and will install it, and then reboot
  repeat step-7 until all updates are done (will normally need 4-5 update cycles)
  


Note that it will void your device warranty
