Worked first time with no errors on my wi-fi model. Only hiccup was I needed to install the Moto drivers (which I realised when adb didn't get it to reboot).

Great work. Thank you.
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
Thanks man, that hit the spot!
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
definitely something everyone should do before touching the 1-click root ... same for every device - get the USB drivers!

just sign up with a fake name on the moto site :)
[Xoom Android Development] Abracastabya:
Good point :) should be added to OP for those who don't know.

I clicked on the link several times for the 3g root/unroot but there is no zip file to download. It says something about 145mb but no way to download. Help anybody?

Neither one of those links are working
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
There is something else going on with titanium besides not having busybox installed because the same this g is happen I g to me and I already have BBox installed.
[Xoom Android Development] n99hockey:
From this link?

http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Support-Homepage/Software_and_Drivers

If so, which one?
[Xoom Android Development] bmancell:
Does the first post work with my model (MZ604)?
[Xoom Android Development] kamasi36:
I cannot get the link to show up on media fire to start the download. Does it give you a link to click on in media fire?
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
OK, am I missing something here? There is no app that I can see called "busybody" bete or otherwise, so I figured that the OP meant busybox which is needed for TB, and I cannot find any beta's of busybox either. Can someone please fill me in here?

EDIT: I found out what the problem was and stemmed from. I contacted the designer of Titanium Backup and he told me that the busybox program version that TB downloads and installs is not quite up to par for the Xoom, and that I should d/l and install the busybox program installer from the market and use that version of BB. Hope someone else can benefit from this info.
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
Yes it does, I just initiated it on my Xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Well, you have busybox installed by going to Titanium and hitting the Problems? box and install it from there?

As for your other problems, they are solved. You MUST elevate the privilege to Administrator to do this. You MUST have the Moto drivers because if you do not chances are nothing will happen anyways.

As for your problem with the "One-Click" method...... I had a comment on this but I have decided not to post it for fear of being rude on the internetz and being backhanded :-P. If you want to use it great, if not great. This is all up to you.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Checking Now
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Alright, go here again and try. It seems like it is working for me :-D.

[Xoom Android Development] kamasi36:
No good. I need the 3G link and it doesn't give me the option to click on the zip link. Only option is to upgrade to pro?

RootMyXoom.zip

(145.28 MB)

That's all I get and some blue rectangle spinning below but no link to click on zip file?
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Hmmm, this is odd because it is working perfect here where it says click to download in a box to the right.

Try using another browser and see what this does for you.
[Xoom Android Development] vkuber:
WIFI XOOM. Simple instructions. XOOM rooted. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this for us. XDA community is great as always.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Just to let everyone know before anything happens. Next week I will be on vacation and will be checking still but not as regularly. I also have a double ear infection right now so if I do not answer right away, know that I will. If you need to reach me faster, the best bet would be to just e-mail me directly.

Just as an FYI
[Xoom Android Development] btucker2003:
When you say place on root drive i.e. c:/Xoom, where is that and how do I get there? Or is this simply some place on the internal sd?
[Xoom Android Development] philly fan:
On you PC or MAC
[Xoom Android Development] btucker2003:
On a PC XP
[Xoom Android Development] btucker2003:
Bump...:confused:

When you say place on root drive i.e. c:\Xoom, where is that and how do I get there? Is this simply some place on the internal sd? Or are you referring to when its connected to PC go to a folder C:\Xoom on the PC C drive itself

extract and run there?

TIA
[Xoom Android Development] fchristian2k:
I seem to have broken my aGPS on WiFi only

WiFi only Xoom

Build HWI69

Ulnocked, Rooted, w/ Tiamat via OneClick

All went well. I am getting great performance at 1.5 w/ Interactive Gvnr. The only problem is that my GPS ceased to function. I have searched and searched but seem to be the only person who has experienced this issue?

Before I unlocked and rooted, GPS lock was very fast and locked 5+ satellites in seconds. Now even after a long period of time it still cannot pick up a single satellite.

I have tried using the "GPS Status & Toolbox" to reset (cold restart) the GPS but that makes no difference. The system appears active but sees 0 satellites even after 10 minutes. After searching, as thoroughly as I know how, for additional information on the subject I have still been unsuccessful.

Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: after reflashing the kernel and a couple reboots all is well again. Great thanks to the devs involved awesome work!
[Xoom Android Development] fchristian2k:
WARNING: if you do not have a firm understanding of Windows file paths and use of Archives, the advanced skill level required for command line management of your Android device may not be a good choice for you.

That said.... perhaps this will help:

In Windows open "my computer" then go into the "C" drive.

(this is the location of the "C:\" file path)

Right click, New, Folder Name the folder "Xoom"

Go into that folder (double click "Xoom" folder)

Now double-click on the OneClick zip and choose to extract (the method here will very dependent on the archive application you use, ie. Zip, RAR, 7zip, etc)

You should be prompted for a file path where you will extract the files, for that path use "C:\Xoom" (without the quotes of course) Then proceed with extract.

Now the OneClick Zip Archive files should be extracted to that location. Then just follow the OP (the One Click EXE is "RootMyXoom")
[Xoom Android Development] btucker2003:
That answered my question thanks...
[Xoom Android Development] fchristian2k:
No problem, glad I could be of assistance. I hope all goes very well for you. Enjoy your Unlocked, Rooted Xoom :)
[Xoom Android Development] btucker2003:
NM.........
[Xoom Android Development] fchristian2k:
Was about to say "Debugging Mode" when you updated heheh. Sounds like you got it though.
[Xoom Android Development] btucker2003:
yep....unlocked and rooted...! Whats a good Gov'nr to use?, or should I just run the 1.5 overclock?
[Xoom Android Development] fchristian2k:
Natively, it will still run 1.0. To OC you will need the "Set CPU" app. In the "Set CPU" app you will be able to select clock speeds and gvnr (Scaling) settings.

I am running well @ 1.5 (1504000 - top of slider) with the "interactive" scaling setting. Test first before checking the "Set at Boot" option, to verify stability.
[Xoom Android Development] timwilso:
When going through step #1 it says device not found? Why is it saying that? I'm in debug mode...
[Xoom Android Development] timwilso:
Did the drivers not setup correctly or something? Cause it seems to be working with my PC just fine.
[Xoom Android Development] crauzz:
Does anyone know if rooting will void my insurance from Verizon? I know it voids the manufacturers warranty just wondering if I should cancel my insurance if I decide to root.
[Xoom Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
i just tried this root process. got to where it mounts my xoom with adb which fails. then everything from then on fails. any advice?
[Xoom Android Development] dubie76:
So does this work on the wifi version yet?
[Xoom Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
yes it does. but you haveto understand tha motorola hasnt released the wifi system dump so theres no RUU/ODIN recovery like an android phone. or clockwork recvoery since lack of sd card. but its coming. 4 now, once the root is completely installed, backup your data ith the root program
[Xoom Android Development] dasmoover:

good work.
[Xoom Android Development] jase33:
Worked on mine. Same model. If you follow the directions you should be ok. Read through the entire thread first, you will learn many things not addressed in the OP and may help you through the process. Make sure you have the moto drivers installed before you begin.
[Xoom Android Development] jase33:
Make sudsier the motor drivers are installed. Also I had to reboot PC for correct drivers to load.
[Xoom Android Development] westdude:
I guess I bricked mine

I rooted my wifi xoom with the 3G root. I wasn't being careful when I did it I guess. It works just fine though. Until I realized I rooted it with the wrong one, I tried to undo it (Stupid me) by unrooting using the 3G version. So guess what. I think I bricked Xoom. The whole process to unroot completed but then when it rebooted, it stucked at the Motorola Dual Core menu and it'd been staying there for a while. Any thought to salvage my xoom and me from my stupidity? :-( :mad:
[Xoom Android Development] dubie76:
any reason why rooting the zoom wipes it and say rooting a phone or galay tab just roots easy with one click?
[Xoom Android Development] BeagleBoy:
It wipes it because motorola made the oem-unlock procedure do so. So rooting the phone isn't what wipes it, it's unlocking it (regardless of whether you root it or not). That is, when you unlock the bootloader, the unlock procedure on the xoom wipes the user partition, and loads a clean copy. Why? Because someone at motorola thought it was a good idea. Was it? Probably not. But you can't root (currently at least) without unlocking the bootloader.

That said, the fact that we can easily unlock our xooms (without any hacking required) more than makes up for the hassle of losing our user data (in my opinion).

-Jim
[Xoom Android Development] dubie76:
Ok. I see what your saying. I think I'm going to wait and lurk for a bit. Still don't see a need to root
[Xoom Android Development] Blizz127:
Hey I rooted my wifi xoom I just bought and it went flawless. I had to install the motorola drivers but after that works great!
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Well, there is no unroot for the WiFi XOOM yet.

As for the rest, yes.... you are in fact bricked and need to try and return the device or shell out another $600. Sucks that you're bricked.
[Xoom Android Development] kevlars9:
Hey all i have a question i just finished using this great tool and everything was successful. However i just realized that i did the root process under the (3g xoom tab) when i have a wifi only. So my question is, is this bad or not really a big deal. thanks in advance .

edit , i see the reply above me and i am obviously not going to try to unroot it being that i have the wifi only.

I pretty much just want to know if this will be a problem down the road
[Xoom Android Development] fchristian2k:
As long as you can get to bootloader you are not bricked. It sounds like yours powers up n tries to boot but can't... that's not bricked. I do not have the skills with the Xoom yet to help but I suspect someone in the forums can.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
No, this would be incorrect. If they can get to the Bootloader it will still wipe it, however with the 3G version again and will not pick up ADB or the USB for some reason. I have gone through 2 XOOM's just testing that part out.

I flashed 3G to one last night and then went and "unrooted" and am at the same screen. I can afford to do this, being that one is a device given to me for promotion so I have 2 more good ones.

I will work on it this week and see if there is a possible way for it to be fixed however the chances are VERY slim. The reason being that it will not connect through ADB. Maybe when SD Card support comes there is a chance to flash it as an update.zip or something but who knows when that will be :-P.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Sorry for double post, but I did not say what I needed to.

For all intensive purposes you are bricked, I have tried to help a few folks in the thread with the same problem and they cant do anything either but return it. So I guess you are not REALLY bricked, however you have no way to flash the WiFi version, your Recovery has been changed, and you locked the device to a 3G version.

Play with it a bit, you honestly can't hurt it anymore.
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
In regards to this as well, make sure you try the powerup/volup trick several times. If you can force into fastboot via quickly jumping from volup/power to voldown/power you can then flash the right boot img etc.
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
Is there anyway to incorporate the new timat kernal that makes the SD card work in this?
[Xoom Android Development] MitchRapp:
totally down with the suggestion above...

btw if I flash the new kernel, will it undo anything I did with this one-click method? And will it take me back to stock?
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
Darn fine question!
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
No flashing the kernel does not erase data of any sort everything will stay the same just with the added features of the kernel
[Xoom Android Development] jvs60:
Can you add the new kernel to the one click gui?
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
I admit my noobness but is this maybe unzipping the files and images of the kernal that is already in the one click method and replacing them with the unzipped files and images of the new kernal then pushing it into the one click program?
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
This will work, just make sure to name it the same :-).

Or you can just push it manually. :-)
[Xoom Android Development] carbaj12:
whats the mz600 driver? and how can i get it?
[Xoom Android Development] danman7:
I'd like to know the same thing.
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
Taken from the RootMyXoom source code: Warning: Any of these buttons will wipe your Xoom. All data`, all pictures`, all music`, all movies from that weekend in Vegas with that girl`, everything will be deleted. You have been warned.

Heh heh. Yup. First thing you see.
[Xoom Android Development] craig4855:
I have not been able to run this on my wifi Xoom. I get the command prompt, but it hangs at waiting for device.

I have the Xoom in debug mode.

Ran rootmyxoom_03.exe.

Please help
[Xoom Android Development] epakrat75:
Don't you backup anyways just in case? Even if it does wipe then you'll won't lose (much of) anything regardless. :cool:
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
You will need the device recognized by windows.

1. Can you access your Xoom storage via your computer?

2. Does the computer make a "USB Connected" sound when you take the Xoom in and out of Debug?

If the answer to either of this questions is no, then you need to install the Moto Dev drivers.
[Xoom Android Development] xguntherc:
Well, I backup with titanium and it requires root access. I guess its not a huge issue, just mainly the game saves. How do you back it all up just in case? when not rooted?
[Xoom Android Development] jshuford:
...

Would you please tell me which file to download... I am looking for the most current, with the option to unroot and I have the 3G/WiFi version...

I ask because I see more than one option, that is separated by "posted times"

TIA
[Xoom Android Development] craig4855:
Yes to both
[Xoom Android Development] bguzmanz2:
any love for macs?
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
Try this:

1. Open a CMD prompt.

2. Switch to the directory where you unzipped the RootMyXoom and all its files.

3. type: adb devices

4. Hit enter.

5. See if it lists your device.
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
Download the RootMyXoom.zip option. If you have the 3g version you can root/unroot with it. Its about 200mb...
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
I just realized I was not qouting questions. If you think I didn't answer your question just ask again. Monitoring the thread.
[Xoom Android Development] jshuford:
...

I am sorry, but which posting of yours is the most current that I should use?
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
In the OP (original post) the links at the bottom of the post are the most recent. One is with unroot (large download) one is without unroot (smaller download).
[Xoom Android Development] jshuford:
...

Thank you :)
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
Show of hands for new version

I think I can make the next version pull the user data from common folders and store it locally i.e. a data backup if that is something that would interest the community.
[Xoom Android Development] jvs60:
I have usb debugging enabled and can access my storage data, but when i click root wifi xoom it says 'waiting for device' and 'read instructions on your xoom' but there aren't any instructions
[Xoom Android Development] tonebone:
I tried the root and somehow I messed it up!

I am getting an error:

Failed to boot LNX 0X0004

Starting RSD Mode 0

Help! Did I brick my xoom?
[Xoom Android Development] cadiken:
If you include restore capabilities within your app I think that is a great idea.
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
Heck i will give it a try thank you!
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Can you let me know what you do?

Oops sorry to the one click version. What file should we replace
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Alright, so I just flashed it, but what you replace is the boot file. So delete that out of your respective folder (3G or WiFi) and replace that with the new one from the newest download.

So if you run 3G replace xoomroot\rootboot with the boot.img in the new download and rename it to rootboot

WiFi, just delete boot.img from wifiroot and replace it with the new one. No need to rename.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
NOTE!!!!!!!!!!

If you do the One-Click method you will delete your data if you re-unlock the bootloader. How you can get around this is simple though.

Start 1 click

When it boots into the agreement decline it (Vol+ Vol-)and manually reset device (Power and Vol+)

After this, the step where the boot image is flashed happens and no data will be lost.

Just an FYI.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
That is the driver for your device. I think the 600 is 3G correct?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Its works beautiful 1.3 that is. Pretty simple I went on the safe side and replaced each file with the new file
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
one click root program for 1.3 tiamat

here is a link to download the tiamat 1.3 one click root program

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SXKVMHEF

Thanks to stevenge

Gave me the idea to do this

Do what he said if you do not want to lose data

If you do the One-Click method you will delete your data if you re-unlock the bootloader. How you can get around this is simple though.

[Xoom Android Development] jvs60:
Thanks from a Cane.... first and last time. Lol
[Xoom Android Development] philly fan:
UGGGGH didn't work still says 1.1.6 Kernel though i have superuser. and no microsd showing up under storage in settings
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
So this has the new updated kernal in it? And all we have to do is do the same procudure as before just decline the agreement and then power + volume and it will do the rest as it did before, thank you for explaining this
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Yes. When I did it I just went through the whole root process normally. I did t have anything important. It is so easy to just Download all apps again. Since the xoom is so fast. Now we will have everything on SD thats important so we won't have to worry about losing things.
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
I do have a question though, in comparing the original root my xoom timat folder there are 7 files in it and in the new one there are only 6? In the older one there is two zip files one labelled boot and another labelled timat. In the new one there is only one labelled boot. Does this make a difference?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
No because I matched all files and changed out one by one. In the zipped folder tiamat was an update for wifi but with new kernel don't need it because wifi works perfect. I was the guinea pig

Let me know
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
Ok cool thank you for explaining this to me and I will report back hopefully something good!
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
No problem. I got this to work because I know people out there can't get ADB to work like me
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
It did not show up in setting storage for me but yet it showed up in astro and rootexplorer for me as sdcard2. It will tell you how big your card is and how much room you have on it. I used the one from my evo and can see all my phone stuff. Try doing it again throughly if you can. While saving somethings you will have the option to save to sd1 or sd2. I'm downloading a movie to my sd2 right now checking it out.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Are we using wifi or 3g xooms. It worked for me on 3g xoom. Idk about wifi
[Xoom Android Development] philly fan:
I have the WiFi version and it still says 1.1.6
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
I am thinking what you have to do is copy the new tiamat files I have in the the Tim at folder into the wifiroot folder replace the old ones with new ones. One by one. If you look in the xoomroot file they are not in there like the wifi one. Try swapping the Timat files with the wifiroot files but keep the files that don't match with all the others in the folder
[Xoom Android Development] carbaj12:
yes have the 3G version. when i try to go in usb debugging it doesnt install the driver.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Give me 3 minutes, I have what you need.

Check back.

This is for WIFI ONLY!!!!!!!!!
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Question is, when you run adb devices does it find one. It never installs my drivers, but it still works.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Did you go on the motorola website to get the driver. Http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OTKLUXMC. LINK FOR THE DRIVERS
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
WiFi ONLY!

This is for the WiFi XOOM only

.

This also will not wipe your XOOM. It's not one click, but might as well be.

Do this:

Download and unzip file.

Hold Shift and Right Click and hit open command window here, or just open a command window there the regular way.

Now, type adb devices. If you see your device listed proceed.

______________________________________________________________

1. Reboot into the bootloader by running:

adb reboot bootloader

2. Flash the boot image to your boot partition, then boot back into Android by running:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

3. After rebooted, run these commands (copy and paste):

adb remount

adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

adb push scsi_wait_scan.ko /system/lib/modules/scsi_wait_scan.ko

adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab

adb reboot
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
Ok it looked like it worked for me! SO yay! LOL I know have both SD card 1 and SD card 2 but when i download something it does not give me the option to download it to either? I am rebooting and trying again now
[Xoom Android Development] carbaj12:
is this the newest one click method and should i use this one instead?

no it doesnt find one

im downloading them right now. lets see what happens
