[Xoom Android Development] QSMR:
wifi xoom rooted just fine...

I rooted my wifi only xoom perfectly fine using your one click for wifi (ummm, the second time I ran it), the first time not so successful attempt was completele and total "user error"...lol

in case anyone is interested, heres what happened the first time:

I started the process as instructed, and got past the unlocking portion okay...but, when the module pushing started up, my ADD kicked in and I started entering some accounting stuff in Quickbooks...(i was also at work so I had to look like I was doing something worth their paying me..lol)

anyway, when "exits' started filling in the form fields, it occurred to me that the warning to not touch the keyboard while the process is processing, was not just for sh*** and giggles....

I will note however, that SU still installed okay, and was showing as rooted, but the wifi was giving me the error and not connecting...

so I manually entered apb stuff, per stevenge instructions a few posts back ... and wifi hooked up perfectly...only now I had superuser but no actual root (per rootchecker app)

so, I took another shot at it, keeping my hands off the keyboard this time, and I was in-like-flynn....

hopefully my idiocy will help someone else with the same problems....

thanks!!

What are the consequences of not being able to relock?
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
It seems to work for me.

Try downloading like Titanium or Rom manager and grant the permissions and see what it says.

For some reason, it is not pushing the SU binary to some people and nom CHMOD'ing it.

Just a check to see, if no root is given there is a quick fix for it.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Just the fact that the warranty is voided and no repairs will be done on the device because of it showing unlocked.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Awesome, glad you're rooted :-)
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Alright, so I just helped another person out and they got through it.

SU was not working though for some reason: Reason is BusyBox did not install.

To fix this, download Titanium Backup and hit the "Problems?" button and Install BusyBox.

If that fails use https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox for now
[Xoom Android Development] Burgers:
Root!! Thanks to stevenge for all your help. I was able to run through the entire one-click program and SU installed no problem.

Anyone else having issues with root access even with SU installed and after allowing permission in prompt. I downloaded Titanium Backup from Marketplace and click the "problems?" button. It has download links to latest busybox and SU, once i installed these i had root :D

Thanks to all the devs for all your effort and hard work.

Worked 1st Time

Just wanted to chime in here. Just received Wifi only unit today from Amazon ($589 by the way) and decided I had to get rooted. Was a little hesitant but went for it anyway. Had some experience since all my Epic's are rooted which made it a little more comfortable.

Everything seems to be working fine. Overclocking at 1.5mhz, stable as of now. Really improves unit on most apps. Will be curious to see how this affects battery life?

Dungeon Defenders is downloading now, very large file. Just started downloading when I ran program.

Also wish microSD card access worked but in time I guess, come on Moto!

Thanks to people who developed this one-root for Xoom!

Ken in Texas.
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
I am on 3G and I rooted using this tool last night with no problems. Now I am looking at overclocking using Timat. I saw that it is there as a one click also but wanted to make sure I am correct in assuming this will install Timat and/or if there is anything else I need to do.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
If you have Tiamat on there already (which you should if you one-clicked) just dwnld SetCPU or something and overclock.

Mine is at 1.5 right now, and battery on for 22 hours?
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
Well, I did one click on the ROOT but I never clicked on the one click for Flash Tiamet. I already downloaded Droid Overclock so I am good there. I assume I just need to flash Tiamet and then play with the settings in Droid Overclock?
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
Thanks, I just went for it and flashed the tiamet kernal and wow, I notice the difference in the overall speed. Not sure what my setting should be in xoom overclock but it seems to be running great at 1504!
[Xoom Android Development] docfreed:
Which one for WiFi

The first post shows two downloads - which one do I use for rooting a WiFi-only Xoom?
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
Just an FYI guys the root/flash tool now only uses Tiamat and Stock kernels. There is no need to reflash with tiamat. Just install a gov'nr.
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
Either one.

One has the UNROOT for the ThreeGee.

So you can download the smaller one to root your wifi as I have no UNroot for Wifi yet.
[Xoom Android Development] chris17922:
Stuckk -.-

sorry guys but im stuck in waiting for device is there a step im missing?
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
It seems so, WiFi or 3G?

Do you have all if the drivers you need from Moto and have USB Debugging turned on under Settings)Applications)Development?
[Xoom Android Development] chris17922:
3g xoom.... and yes it is in debugging mode..
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Well, I don't know what it is then. I would recommend rebooting device and computer. Open command prompt and type adb devices . If your device is listed (16 characters) then it sees it. If not, uninstall and reinstall drivers.
[Xoom Android Development] chris17922:
I did what u said... and also ran the software as admin... then it finally worked thanks :)
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
No problem. Glad to help.
[Xoom Android Development] kschuyler:
Hey guys, I don't post here often but I do read here everyday. I just wanted to let you know that I just used this on my WiFi only Xoom and i worked flawlessly. Not a single hiccup at all. I just followed the on screen instructions and after the final step I saw that Superuser was installed. Downloaded Titanium Backup and it said it could not get root access, clicked on the problems tab, downloaded Busybox and promptly had root access :)

I do seem to be missing some items from the Market though? Do I need to re-install it and if so, does anyone have a link to the latest version?

Thanks again for you hard work and let us all know when your book is available!

Update: Running at 1400 mhz with SetCPU at the moment.
[Xoom Android Development] qubz:
I just wanted to leave some feed back and say that this method worked really smoothly without a single hick up. I'm no noob but I'm lazy and tonight have a cold and am tired so I gave this a shot on my new wifi xoom. Now I'm rooted and over clocked at 1.5 ghz- thanks for this:D
[Xoom Android Development] kschuyler:
Seems like when I run at 1.5ghz I get a lot of force closes. I realize anytime you are overclocking a CPU you may get instability issues. Dialing my max overclock down to 1200 seems to have fixed the issues so while I may not be running as fast as others, it's nice and stable and still a 20% bump.
[Xoom Android Development] ggrant3876:
Just got my Zoom Friday and have a question before I root it. According to what I've read I can't unroot my WiFi Xoom. How will that affect me getting any of the future updates, since I won't have a custom rom yet I should get the OTA's, right?

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] stevefxp:
Truly Unlocked?

I have followed the one click root and unlock, which seems to work fine. When I install SetCPU it cannot get SU privileges, which seems to indicate a locked condition? Is anyone having this issue also?

Thanks,

Steve
[Xoom Android Development] kschuyler:
Did you test Super User to make sure that it was working? I know I had to run it and download Busybox to get it taken care of. Also, SetCPU seemes to cause some stability issues for me but CPUBoost is working well on my Xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] shockaholic:
Thanks for making it so easy!
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
ahhh help

I think I hit the wrong key at the white legal notice to unlock. I'm stuck at the white letters. It says Device Unlock operation aborted. How to I reboot my device. Holding the power button does nothing.

Am I screwed?

wow I got it....nevermind. hahah
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Hold Power and Vol +

This will reboot the device.
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
Yeah found thatkey combo, thanks
[Xoom Android Development] :
so can someone help me. after i reinstalled the system.img to my stock wifi only everytime i try to download an app it FC's on me. any suggestions. i was recently stuck when i went from the custom theme back to stock and flashing the system.img fixed my problem. now im stuck and i can't download apps lol.

##fixed##
[Xoom Android Development] 031999:
everything went fine, (wifi only) except when all done, under the wifi switch in settings it says "Error" WTF did i do...

of i know what the problem is, when adb goes to push the packages, the file system appears to be READ ONLY... why???
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
This is a simple fix. Just run the ADB Commands or restart the process as an Admin and do not type ANYTHING while the process is going.

Let us know what happens, worse comes to worse I can take a look at it for you.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
I wish I could help here, but I am not exactly understanding what the problem is. From what I see, you downloaded the BigDX Theme and went back to the stock theme and it is screwing up?

Any more info will help me try and fix it for you.
[Xoom Android Development] ljwnow:
I've got the same thing. I doubt if this one click program works for Honeycomb 2.0.1.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Are you using the WiFi version?

It works fine on 3.0.1 which is what is on board when the WiFi Xoom was released.

I actually had to one-click again about 2 hours ago after messing with some stuff, so this tool is still working.

Did you install BusyBox like I said a few posts back, because it seems BusyBox does not come with one click. Just download Titanium Backup, hit "Problems?", and install BusyBox.

Let me know how that is working afterwards.
[Xoom Android Development] ljwnow:
I have the 3G version. I am trying it again now. I'll let you know the result. Thanks for the help.
[Xoom Android Development] ljwnow:
It's working now. Busybox is the problem. But another question here. Will the software update unroot the OS? Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
That I do not know, I only have the WiFi now. Best bet would be to look around the boards and see whats been said.
[Xoom Android Development] moz90:
What is the dif between unlock and root I rooted with one click am I unlocked 2?
[Xoom Android Development] vmbgap:
WiFi Version

Worked amazingly!!! It did require one more reboot to get the market working tho.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Yes, Unlock unlocks the bootloader to open the system. Unlocking is the step where you pres the volume buttons. So yes, one-click does unlock and then root your XOOM.
[Xoom Android Development] hughey2k2:
Thanks guys it worked pretty smoothly the second time around I noticed that on the second boot my xoom wouldn't reconnect to my pc until I unplugged it and then replugged it back in then the whole process went as it was supposed too
[Xoom Android Development] AzimuthMedia:
Thanks! I had to get the Motorola drivers, but after that, it was a snap! This is the Tiamet kernal, i realize, which is the version that included Roebeet's usb mod, correct? I know I can re-flash if necessary, but this is the only reason I rooted, want to make sure it's got the mod.

Much appreciated!
[Xoom Android Development] Tesler32:
Ok I have wifi model and I get to step where the I am supposed to press up down up down but my device just sits on starting fastboot protocol support and I never see any dialog. Any Ideas on what is going on. I have win7 32bit no uac on have latest moto driver installed adb is working on pc for xoom and dx np.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
make sure to hit ok on step 2 for it to progtess
[Xoom Android Development] Dubar:
took me a few tries but I finally got through it.

A gust of wind near my mouse and a command would miss the box and I'd have to start all over.

The Wi-fi "error" problem happens when the push for the wifi module fails
[Xoom Android Development] Tesler32:
I did press ok on step 2 and then the cmd runs

C:\Xoom>fastboot oem unlock

< waiting for device >

Popup is to the next step of wait for the reboot. When the Xoom is rebooted, tap the Start button on scree. Tap Next on Location Services Scree. Tap Skip on Sign in with your Google Account Screen.

The whole time the Xoom is at Dual Core Screen with Starting Fastboot protocol support on top. Ideas?

NVM: I think I got it when it was waiting for device the PC didnt see the Mot Single ADB Interface. I had to clean the moto drivers up. I think it will work now.
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
I am hoping to be able to go to the more reliable command mode for the wifi version. Now that it seems to be nominally functional. I am teaching application infrastructure this week guys so bear with me. I wont be coding till the weekend.
[Xoom Android Development] Tesler32:
Alright guys I got a little further then stuck again. I got back unlocking the device on step two. I get though the reboot and back into the OS re-enable debug then back into fastboot protocol support cmd sending boot img and nothing I dont see anything on my device like the prompt says too. I checked the driver and the device showed up and everything should be working correctly. Ideas?

PS thanks for the help I am just glad it didnt get bricked. I have rooted close to 20 phones and never fup one yet.
[Xoom Android Development] fishhead2567:
Confirmed!

Confirmed it works on WIFI.

I would make it a point to include in the instructions though that you CAN NOT click anything at all while it is running or it will fail.
[Xoom Android Development] Tesler32:
I got it working on another computer something was going on with my adb interface driver on this machine. Thanks for all the help though this baby really flies with this new kernel at 1.5ghz
[Xoom Android Development] :
wait til you get the Tiamat 1.2 haha i love it!
[Xoom Android Development] gitit20:
This post needs a no thanks button hahs j/k if u are on ubuntu there are programs you can run in the exe in emulation...
[Xoom Android Development] gitit20:
Install firefox and install adon called adblock plus they also have one for pop up's as well now go wash your mouth sorry fingers off with soap... :)
[Xoom Android Development] Kamau54:
Please excuse my lack of knowledge, but I keep see this "Tiamat". What exactly is it?
[Xoom Android Development] leenypost:
It is a Kernal for the Xoom... Specifically the one that allows you to overclock the processor to 1.5ghz speed instead of the 1ghz speed that it comes with when you buy it.
[Xoom Android Development] Kamau54:
So, you can't over clock to 1.5 without it? I thought that could be done with just Droid Over clock?
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
You need an optimized Kernal to OC to whatever. Droid Overclock does not work on the XOOM that I know of, it will not install from the market.

I use setCPU to OC, have for a while now even though the design has not really changed since it was released it just works :-).
[Xoom Android Development] Kamau54:
So, SetCPU and Tiamat are two different things?
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
SetCPU is an application that allows you to Set your CPU speeds and Tiamat is the kernal you will be using that is optimized up to 1.5GHZ.

Tiamat-Gives your device the ability to be Overclocked.

SetCPU-Gives you access to set your speeds and Overclock the device.
[Xoom Android Development] cypherx82:
Can I do this if my Xoom is encrypted?
[Xoom Android Development] aronslusa:
Awesome job people... Just got my new toy (wifi model) rooted thanks to you all!
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Your XOOM will be formatted when you Root your device so in theory yes you can because your encryption will be removed and you will just need to re-encrypt.

I am rooted right now and encrypted due to work processes on my XOOM so it is a good trade.
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
Need some help please , i got to the final stage where i skip sign in to google account and the turn USB bebugging back on and the Xoom is suppose to reboot and say it's flashing partition or something like that . All that happens when i turn USB debugging on is a little pop on the computer screen that goes so quickly i couldn't get to read it and nothing happen on the Xoom . Help please !! . The terminal on the computer is still saying waiting for device .
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Which device are you using, 3G or WiFi?
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
3G

I'm on 3G Network
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Have you tried pushing everything manually through adb commands yet or just the one click root method. If just the one-click method then close it down, restart the program with admin rights and try again. This should solve this problem.
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
No i'm dumb to adb , i'm gonna start over again .
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Let us know how it goes, I will help out if it is still not working.
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
Thanks man ,second time was a charm . I'm rooted and Overclocked at 1200MHz . NICE !!
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
No problem, glad to help.
[Xoom Android Development] amelch05:
WIFI only xoom. I followed the instructions and it worked perfectly. Thanks for all your hard work!
[Xoom Android Development] Dubar:
I just wanted to say thank you for putting this program together. I don't really know much about programming, but I'm not Incompetent, and I probably could learn it if I had the time or motivation. Going through this root process like this step by step with explanations, taught me a LOT about how adb works and now I find myself using it for everything I can. Also thanks to whoever a couple decades ago had the foresight to invent the /? Command.
[Xoom Android Development] n99hockey:
Sorry, noob question!

I read a post above where it say that the one-click root unlocks the bootloader and then roots. Is that correct? And if so, does it format the device like the manual method originally posted to root the device?

I already know it will be formatted when I send it in for the 4G modem, I hate having to reset it multiple times.

I have a 3G/4G Xoom.

Thanks a lot!
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Yes it is true, and yes your XOOM will be formatted when you unlock the bootloader so you will lose everything. Sucks, but good in the long run.
[Xoom Android Development] dlovely:
thanks, worked as others have noted before me with wifi version. i wish i could install clockworkmod on this thing but i can't figure out a way of doing system images yet.

**i guess clockwork won't work until sd card is available, oh well lol
[Xoom Android Development] wase4711:
is there a step by step, "one click" version for wifi model anywhere for mac users?

I've read all 31 pages of the thread, but didnt see one..

thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] cat2115:
After unlock and root for wifi xoom, can this be restore back to factory default?
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
worked on my WIFI-Xoom on the first shot, thanks man!!

Now I wonder what the best app is for backups... Titanium doesn't seem to support honeycomb (apps list is empty save for some random settings)
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
If you are asking about unrooting.... no not until Moto releases the files.

To master reset you can do that from settings or just reflash everything again.
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
1. Uninstall titanium

2. Install stericson busybody installer from market

3.choose the beta busybody.

4. Install titanium.

5. All elements should appear.
[Xoom Android Development] jase33:
@stevenege - you are one sick puppy with patience of a saint! You could probably herd cats if you tried.

@jwtyler - very nice work and contribution. BTW, how did you get the XDA app working on xoom?

Anyway, I just read the entire thread and I'm still not sure if the one click program is all inclusive yet. I see it includes tiamat but are adb commands still manually required for wifi xoom? Yeah, I put the in lazy. Gonna root my wifi zoom one day and with the support and attention being given here, this is the way I will be doing it.
[Xoom Android Development] goran1459:
Unroot killed my XOOM

It rooted with no problems. I tried to unroot it just to test it and I get the "Failed to boot LNX 0X0004 message. HELP!!!
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
Hold power and volume up

immediately power volume down

Should say reading fastboot

Then run the unroot. If computer says. Waiting for device. Then close the window and continue to next step.

Should work fine

If not post back
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
I have been puzzled about people saying it doesnt work. Worked from day one.
[Xoom Android Development] goran1459:
It did not work. Now its saying "Device still locked. Device must be unlocked first. Failed to process command error (0X8)"
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
3G or Wifi, I assume you are using 3G due to the fact there is no unroot for WiFi yet.

Let us know if you could.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Hahaha, that made me giggle a bit. The thing is I have been lurking XDA but everyone had everything covered already. I knew when I got the XOOM I would come here first and start helping out, and so I did.

I personally stand for everyone being rooted and will help people out no matter if I have to walk them step by step or if I have to remote into their computer and see whats up.

As for the WiFi XOOM, you never HAD to run them manually per se it would not push sometimes though and manual works period. However the issue was fixed with the latest release, it goes a bit slower but that is so you can see which step it failed at (if it does, which after it was released I have wiped and run the program and had no hiccups.)

I might look into the cats thing though :-P
[Xoom Android Development] goran1459:
It's the 3G model MZ600.
[Xoom Android Development] jase33:
I thought you could use some levity amongst the chaos. :D

Well I ran it and everything went well. I am rooted, unlocked and have superuser in my app drawer.

jwtyler & stevenege, thanks for this and the support.
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
Ok, what the heck am I missing here.....PLEASE?????

This is not meant as a "Cut" or anything on the program, but I thought this was supposed to be a 1 click method? I'm AGAIN running into problems (even with the newer updated version). I click on "Root my xoom" and when it comes to the time that the program is "waiting on device" in the DOS box, the device, my Xoom, just sits there doing nothing. All of the device drivers etc, for my Xoom is there, my system is recognizing the Xoom. I've tried other usb ports, same result. Can someone please enlighten me as to how to get this going and rooted? I've managed to do this one time and then unroot it just to check to see if it was possible, but I cannot for the life of me remember how I got around this problem the first time. Please help!! Thanks.

Oh, and the device IS in debuggin mode, so that's not the problem.

EDIT: Not sure what happened but I went through the process AGAIN and this time it worked. It seems to have a mind of its own. :) The only difference between now and the way I ran it before is I went into properties of "Root My Xoom" program by right clicking on the program/going to compatibility tab, and making the "Priviledge Level" "Run this program as an administrator" setting permanent by click on that box. Using the right click and selecting "Run as administrator" did not work for me, I had to go into properties as explained and do it that way. ??? weird huh!
