[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
I just rooted my Xoom since I posted last so I didn't get to read all the new posts. I also used the No unroot package (2nd link) in the OP. I had two Xooms coming in the mail and one came in today (yay!)

Anyway, I see the SuperUser app and everything went great. No errors. The only thing I don't understand is why it doesn't pick up my 32gb microSD card inserted. Any ideas?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
you need the kernel read the kernel forum motorola doesnt support stock sdcard yet
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
Thanks for constantly walking me through. Your help is much appreciated. My hacking is rusty to say the least (last was a PSP and a G1). Lol.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
no problem were all here to help
[Xoom Android Development] blkbeltkid17:
welll DARN i quit i was trying to root my xoom through the ADB shell and HOLY hell did i get lost and confused LOL after i got through sdk DL and java DL it still didnt work dont know whats going on (only tried adb so it didnt delete all my data) but i am trying one click now report back in a few
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
lol good deal
[Xoom Android Development] blkbeltkid17:
not at all when i go through the process it keeps telling me my file system is READ ONLY and wont push anything to my xoom
[Xoom Android Development] blkbeltkid17:
hummm i d k i ran the program and unlocked it again and ran the whole program and it pushed everything this time and i have super user

the only snag i ran into this time was step 9 the scan.ko was not a recognized operation
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
what version one click you using? and wifi or 3g?
[Xoom Android Development] blkbeltkid17:
i am on wifi
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
what kernel do you have now? if your stock try running the first one of the one clicks on the first page of the forum. is it working at all now? did you go to wifi version in the program?
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
Well, that was unproductive. Lol. I tried this to get to this part but all I got after the "adb reboot bootloader" part (first step) was an Android with a "!" on his tummy.

I tried to do the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" part anyway and all I got on my prompt was "<waiting for device>".

I tried to Google a complete noob guide but this blog's approach makes no sense: http://theunlockr.com/2011/04/15/how-to-enable-the-microsd-card-slot-on-your-motorola-xoom/

Their video is equally as vague. Even with my background in computer science, I feel like I'm back to square one here. :/
[Xoom Android Development] blkbeltkid17:
no i am not on stock i am on tiamat_xoom-v1.1.6
[Xoom Android Development] blkbeltkid17:
ok the root work i can see SU and all that and the kernel changed but i have an even BIGGER problem... my wifi is connecting but i cant get to any web pages its saying the server connection times out and stuff so i cant get to the market or anything internet related because i have to sign on to my schools internet via a webpage
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
yea i gotta do that to at my school make sure you sign in as a guest on your school page then you access it all what kernel do you have now? are you saying the one click didnt work?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
download the motorola drivers for xoom
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
I did. I have the 4.9 with helper straight from their site. I'm still reading up and researching. Hopefully I find the answer before I call it a night. I would love to start customizing my Xoom. Right now, aside from the root, it's bone stock.
[Xoom Android Development] blkbeltkid17:
no there is no guest but i got it now i had to type the entire link to my schools wireless auth page and then it connected after i signed in and i am up and running man g mail and market .... WOOOOOOO

heartatack averted thanks for trying to help me bro
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
are you using clock work recovery to flash the kernels now?
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
I'm now trying to follow this, but after remounting, it says can't find bcm4329.ko. Which makes no sense because the path is dead on. I'm stuck. ???

EDIT: Sorry, fellas. I'm an idjit. It was a typo all along. I copied and pasted and everything went smoothly.
[Xoom Android Development] kntdookoo:
Do you have debug mode enabled.

Are you in the correct directory when running a ADB or fastboot commands
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
Everything went fine but it still says 1.3.0 in my about page. I did the whole thing again and it still says 1.3.0 and I can't see my microSD.

And I was in debugging mode the whole time. The funny thing is that I saw no errors whatsoever in the command prompt, I checked to see if the files were all pushed in the right places and they were (I copied and pasted, after all). Now, I'm still stuck in the same spot. No luck moving to 1.3.1.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
whoa! 1.3.1 will show as 1.3.0 its 1.3.2 that will show as 1.3.2
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
Interesting. I've been reading up on this topic as much as I can and I never came across that bit of info. My worries still remain --I can't see my SD card. :(

Any ideas?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
cant see your sdcard where are you looking for it you wont see it in storage in settings the only way you will know is if you download stuff to it from your xoom and put it in the sdcard2 folder and check it on your comp do you have sdcard2 in sdcard?
[Xoom Android Development] kntdookoo:
Try this. For me I had actually made a sdcard folder on the physical sdcard that shouldn't have been there. Just sdcard2 needs to be in your actual xoom memory. I used astro file manager to make this folder.

Here's what I did and I was struggling all night with this. I did however flash 1.3.2 manually via fastboot/adb before these steps.

-pulled 16gb SD card out of xoom while on

-formatted in fat32 on PC (made no folders or put anything on it)

-made sure my xoom system had /mnt/sdcard/sdcard2 folder(see OP for an ADB code or use file manager)

-reboot

-copied one picture via astro file manager to mnt/sdcard/sdcard2

-reboot into work recovery

Now USB storage works and can flash via SD!
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
I do. Unfortunately, I don't have any SD card adapter lying around so I can't pop it in my computer to confirm. Sigh. Let me go look again see if I can find one.

I was trying to check if my SD card was indeed mounted by going to App 2 SD and see if any of the movable apps would allow me to "Move to SD" but that button doesn't appear, which I take it to mean that there's no external SD card.
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
I did make the "sdcard2" folder under the "sdcard" folder prior to flashing. I'll give your suggestion a try.

Do I go into 1.3.2 blindly, just assume that I successfully flashed from 1.3.0? What are some signs I can look out for to confirm that I'm indeed on 1.3.1?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
nothing its fine 1.3.1 and 1.3.0 wasnt a change in the actual kernel itself just a few things changed yes download 1.3.2 from your xoom and copy paste the zip into sdcard2 and go into recovery and flash zip from sdcard
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
oh and ps they just made a kernel manage for our xooms today its called kernel manager by team win it will automatically download and flash your kernel for you get the pro version help the dev out took him all day to do that for us
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
Fantastic! Thank you so much for sticking around helping me out. I'm going to sleep so soundly tonight.

I popped in my Blackberry's microSD to do the check and when I went into sdcard2 through Astro, I saw my Blackberry's folders in there! Yeayuh!

I was going to pop in my Galaxy S' microSD but I didn't want to turn of that phone. I didn't have to turn off my BB to do it.

Thanks again!!!
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
no prob so you have 1.3.2 now?
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
Oh, no need to mention that. I'm donating on top of everything first thing when I get to work tomorrow. I'm just cleaning up this whole thing so I can go to bed. My daughter will wake me up in a couple of hours for milk. I need to get my power nap in --no crankiness, though since my Xoom is where I want it. Lol.

But back on topic, thanks for the help all night, man. Very much appreciated!!!
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
Yup! My Xoom feels godly. Hehe. Just so I don't forget who to donate to tomorrow, who are the devs behind Tiamat, the RootMyXoom and ClockworkMod Recovery?

EDIT: I'm not playing dumb. I know some of the devs' names already but just so I don't miss anyone else.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
its big rushdog and cybertronics from what i know wait til tomorrow we will have quadrant scores of 4500 :-) its insanely fast
[Xoom Android Development] blkbeltkid17:
hey guys stupid question but using astro how do i know if i have the SD card support ? i am only seeing one sdcard...

and do i have to have the sd support to flash new kernels on this thing just we do for our phones?
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
He speaks no lies here, I am benchmarking at around 4200.

Also the dev for One-Click is jtyler as an FYI.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Well first you have to create a directory in the XOOM's SD directory labeled SDcard2 . After this is done, just go to your Memory and see if you have a bagillion bytes and what not. :-)

If so you do, if you have stock (Meaning anything before 1.3.1, this is my stock :-) ) you do not.

Cheers.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Huh? I have a bajillion bytes. Where it says apps. Do you not?
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Hahaha I haz a bagillion +1 now :-P
[Xoom Android Development] blkbeltkid17:
i got it now root and sd card are up and running
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
you have to have one of the new kernels in order to have sd card support. Then you can use clockwork to flash any new kernels! Hope that helps!
[Xoom Android Development] Saintfyre:
I had the 4.9 drivers that were here also and even using those SDK/ADB/RootMyXoom would not recognize the xoom, it would just hang on <Waiting for Device>. ADB couldn't see it so i couldn't push anything to it. I had to register w/ MotoDev and get the 5.0 drivers, this instantly solved the detection issues I was running into with the Xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
All I did with mine was restart my Xoom, made sure it was in debugging mode, plugged the USB in and waited for my laptop to say that the device was ready. I did the steps again and it never went to the waiting for device message after that.
[Xoom Android Development] dubie76:
Just need to confirm that this works on the wifi version. I see a wifi root thread that is all adb push commands. Id rather do it one click.
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
Yup, it works. I'm doing my second Xoom right now.
[Xoom Android Development] bluelt1ss:
i keep getting stuck in the "waiting for device" screen. where do i get this motodev 5.0 drivers?

edit: nevermind found it, thanks
[Xoom Android Development] noobdeagle:
tell me can we just replace the tiamat kernel in this one click root with the new 1.3.2 and it will work ?, or is this not recommended/does not work ?

i just figured it would be easier doing it in 1 process., than using the one click root than having to flash the new kernel via clockwork.
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
Interesting idea. I wonder if it works.
[Xoom Android Development] jloya:
I have a wifi xoom and the wifi root took perfectly :)

thank you
[Xoom Android Development] alias_neo:
Just tried to root with this on my UK MZ601 and its unbootable. Stuck at moto logo.
[Xoom Android Development] Droidz:
just rooted Wifi Xoom, bought it at bestbuy, and it worked perfectly well, no problems encountered at all. Thank you soo much to all the devs who work in the android Community.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Yes, you can. Just make sure to re-name it correctly.
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
That would have been handy when I rooted my other Xoom, but I still can't complain. Rooting was pretty easy overall even for a noob like me.
[Xoom Android Development] matrix2004:
I'm confused. Does this or does this not already have the kernel to use the SD card? Some people are posting saying you need to have the right kernel but the updated download says it includes the kernel.

I made the SDcard2 folder inside SDcard but there is another SDcard2 folder in my list of folders that won't delete if i try and i didn't create it. I checked under setting and storage and it doesn't look like anything changed.

Also, how do you access the SD card from a PC?
[Xoom Android Development] mightydr:
One-Click Rooted, But No SD Card recognized!! Help!!!!

Hi,

Sorry, I am a total n00b. I have the wifi-only Xoom. I used the One-click tools to root my device, following the steps as prescribed. It seemed to work. However, I do not have SD Card access. This is important because it is the only reason I sought to root my Xoom (although overclocking seemed interesting).

Now, under "About Tablet," my Kernel version is listed as:

2.6.36.3Tiamat_Xoom-v1.1.6_BRDizzle--gdbf3921bigrushdog@bigrushdog-HP-Pavillion-dv9500-Notebook-PC #2

and Build number is

HWI69

I don't know what any of that means, or if its even relevant.

When I place a microsd in the top slot, NOTHING happens. Neither Astro nor ES file managers see a new card or content from a microsd with lots of data on it.

I created a directory under /mnt/sdcard called sdcard2 to no avail.

Please help, anyone!
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
flash the tiamat 1.3.1 kernal after making the sdcard2 folder inside of sdcard. You can do this by using the same one click method just search for the modded one click that has the 1.3.1 taimat kernel. If you can not find it let me know I can make one for you. You must flash this as it allows for sdcard support for clockwork recovery. Once you have the kernel flash clockwork recovery

by downloading rom manager and on the top push the flash clockwork recovery tab it will flash it for you.

From here on out you can flash kernels that are zip files in clockwork. Also download quickboot from the market and use that to boot into recovery.

Place the Tiamat 1.3.2 kernel on your sdcard2 file that you created earlier and then use quickboot to boot into recovery and when recovery comes up scroll down to install zip from sdcard then choose zip and find the 1.3.2 kernel and click install.

Let me know if you need anymore help
[Xoom Android Development] mhausig:
Sorry for the request, I am not very familiar with all the tools.

I tried to use the one click root and originally managed to get it to work to 1.1.6.

I also got Clockwork to install at that time (I think this was bad)

I then rerooted using the updated one click root to 1.3.1 and used clockwork to flash to 1.3.2

This seemed to work fine and I was able to mount my SDcard all right and get 1.3.2 loaded. 1.3.2 loaded up fine but the SDcard still wasn't working. I believe its because I had files in the SDcard2 directory (not a smart thing to do in hindsight).

Anyway, when I went back to the clockwork recovery app it showed errors as did just about everything else and on the next bootup the Xoom went into a boot loop and I had to unlock and start from scratch.

I would like to avoid going through all this again. Should I just delete the SDCard2 folder, reformat the card, mkdir from adb and try to flash 1.3.2 from clockwork or would that put me at risk for another boot loop?
[Xoom Android Development] mightydr:
looking for 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 one-clicks or simplest way to stop rooting

Thanks a lot.

Sorry to be a pest and a n00b, but I cannot find a one-click with 1.3.1. I have found plenty of references to 1.3.1, but not the actual stuff to download.

If you could send me a 1.3.1 one-click or direct me to one that would be great.

Let me make sure I'm following you: I must

1) Repeat the exact rooting steps I did earlier, only with a one-click that includes 1.3.1 instead of 1.1.6... then

2) Using Rom Manager app, I click the topmost (clock recovery) selection-- selecting "Xoom" for its option.... then

3) Locate the Tiamat 1.3.2 kernel files and place them in the sdcard2 directory and then open them using your instructions below.

--And after I have completed all three steps above, the microsd slot will finally be active. ??:confused:

How does the "thanks" function of the forum work? I owe you one. If this ever gets completed correctly, I might need your paypal or other payment info... :cool:

Any reason why the root with unroot DL link in the OP doesnt work? Says file was removed....
[Xoom Android Development] noobdeagle:
would anyone be keen with testing my modified 1click root with tiamat 1.3.2 ?

remember to make a folder called "sdcard2" before it is rebooted into the bootloader to write the boot.img (the 1 click tool tells you when this is about to happen)

http://www.mediafire.com/file/6rvlfkki8bilqhj/xoom root.rar

i don't see why this would not work all i have done is replace the tiamat files with the updated ones., i cant test it currently as my xoom has gone on a holiday with my parents for easter :\
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
Yes it should work fine like that just make sure you flash the sd card support kernel (1.3.0 and up) first before clockwork I think this is where some screw up. They try to flash clockwork through rom manager and have no kernel that supports sd card functions. If your familiar with ADB it is the best way to flash the recovery.img in fastboot and it does it in like 2 secs. But rom manager can do it just as good.

Make sure you use quickboot or something like that to boot in clockwork recovery and find the new tiamat kernel that you want to install and flash it that way. once it is done reboot and you should be good, let me know.

No money needed just the thanks is all i want!

Has anyone tried this for rooting without having to unlock?

If you can remount system them the rest of the process is simple. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to remount system without a modified boot image yet.

Greetings, I'm hoping for some advice. I can never get the RootMyXoom app to get past the beginning. I have my Xoom in debugging mode, but I never get it to respond. I get stuck where a command window says:

< waiting for device >

I also have a popup window stating, "Follow the instructions on the Xoom. Wait for the reboot. When the Xoom is rebooted, tap the Start button on the screen..."

My Xoom is plugged in, I can directory browse it from the Computer icon (Windows 7), the files for RootMyXoom are on the root file system (C:\xoom), and again, debugging is on.

Any advice on what I'm missing?
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
Do you have the latest drivers? I dont have them right now but if you search on development forum you can probably find them, sorry i dont have the forum thread right now

Try here https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/45672
[Xoom Android Development] sfam:
OK, I got the latest USB drivers and installed them, rebooted and tried again - no change. Any other ideas?

Just to be clear, I'm assuming something is supposed to happen on the Motorola Xoom when the command prompt says, "< waiting for device >" - is that correct?
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
yes once you start ADB it is supposed to start daemon services which will then say something like

daemon services starting

daemon services running

When you plug in your xoom does it show up under my computer the xoom icon for you to click on?

Make sure you have the up todate moto drivers as well as check the ADK website and make sure you have the google usb drivers installed.

Someone try flashing the Tiamat kernel and tell me if everything goes smothly or if WiFi is broke due to files not being moved to the /system/lib/module folder
[Xoom Android Development] jwtyler:
That is usually caused by locking or unlocking with an incompatible kernel/img.

In other words if you flash a rooted image and then try to relock, or try to change the lock after a flash you will see that error. It's known as a soft brick and isn't a panic situation.

I should put a panic button in for when a user sees that...
