After you download the platform-tools folder from the android manager, you have to copy all the contents from the "platform-tools" folder and place them in the "tools" folder where fastboot.exe is located. The ADB command is in the platform-tools folder.

the rm/system/xbin/su worked.

but after i type the next command, I get no such file or directory

Maybe it would help if I actually understood what this command is. I understand what the push and pull commands are.
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Thats because rm removed the file.

try:

adb push su /system/bin

adb shell

ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

Ok, so I did as instructed. I'm trying to get a screencap with drocap2 and shootme, but both don't seem to work. Root seems to have been successful, so I don't know what's wrong. Any ideas, fellas?
[Xoom Android Development] Xaositek:
What issues are you having? ShootMe doesn't work - we know this. Might be a Honeycomb problem.

how do i unlock the bootloader?
[Xoom Android Development] chaz03:
You need the motohelp drivers 4.9. Check the OP
[Xoom Android Development] flipper2006:
I dont usually give thanks with a message, but this one deserves it. I just got my Xoom this morning and the instructions worked perfectly. It was a little tricky with the bootloader part, but it became obvious after you understand. With the Nvflash, fastboot, etc.. I didnt like the part where after you unlock it formatted the data, so everything i did today was history... but thanks!!!
[Xoom Android Development] Xaositek:

Hmmm, good question. I don't really do much else but take screenshots. So I can't think of what to try with root. Any suggestions as to what apps to try to see if I did indeed get root access? Perhaps setCPU? I'll give that a go.

While I'm on the subject, what does work for taking screenshots?

Oh and by the way the instructions were spot on. Thank you so much. I got a little worried when I tried the rooting method for the 3G Xoom but luckily your walkthrough saved the day. Kudos

4.9? I just went to the link and DL'd 5.0 USB for Win 7 64... so did I get the right ones?
[Xoom Android Development] ericdabbs:
If you have win 64 bit on your PC then you dled the correct drivers. If you have win 32 bit on your PC then you need to dl the win 32 bit drivers. I would suggest downloading the ones from the motodev site although you probably will need to create an account which is free.
[Xoom Android Development] ke5hde:
thanks this worked first try. dl'd titanium backup and had no problems.

[Xoom Android Development] flipper2006:
Not sure if it's the Kernal or root OR the OS, but when I loaded SetCPU and went to 15000 the right bottom of the unit got a bit warm and the whole unit rebooted (i was in a browser window).

I will see how it goes to see if it's isolated or what.

hate to ask, but are there any Mac OSX instructions yet?

I bet my wife it would be done within the first week!

[Xoom Android Development] madj42:
Works the same way. You just have to get fastboot-mac from here, give fastboot-mac executable permissions (chmod +x), and run the commands from the terminal app. Worked fine for me following the directions on the first post.

[Xoom Android Development] ericdabbs:
What are those files that you posted. It looks like one of them is the wifi driver but I am not sure what the other file is? Are these the stock wifi drivers pulled from the system?
[Xoom Android Development] Xaositek:
Actually we were able to snag those from the Tiamat kernel. We have an updated vold.fstab that allows for USB mounting providing you add the scsi_scan_wait.ko module. (The instructions include both)
[Xoom Android Development] :
the root worked great. but i am not seeing the linpack/quadrant improvements. is it that this is purely a root and that this process doesn't install tiamat kernel?
[Xoom Android Development] Xaositek:
It does install the Tiamat kernel. Might need SetCPU and bump up the clock speed.
[Xoom Android Development] sleeplessninja:
I made a video for the WiFi version that follows the steps laid out by this thread as of March 28th. I captured both the Computer and Xoom screen simultaneously. There is a glare on my Computer side, I apologize for that, but none the less everything I type in is overlaid on top of the video and I dictate it as well. This is also performed on a Macbook Pro Leopard OS X. But besides the fastboot command which is fastboot-mac instead of fastboot for PC, there is no difference. I try to go over common hiccups that I have seen some users have come across as well in the video.

I am new at this.....What is worst case scenario? Would it brick my xoom?

How can I backup before I start? "To ensure I am in the safe side"

If I get stock in the middle can I exit the rooting process or I have to continue
[Xoom Android Development] hm1b:
Thank you so much for the Video...it really help to understand.

Are you yousing MAC? is there is a diffrent in commands used in the video for the mac or Window? "in the start you wrote [fastboot-mac oem unlock] is there is a simmler command for windows?
[Xoom Android Development] sleeplessninja:
Yes the windows version is only different when it comes to the commands in the fact that fastboot-mac is just fastboot. You do need to download fastboot and a couple other things not described in my video, all of these instructions are found on the first post to this thread by the OP.

If you do find it helpful I'd be more than happy to take a 'thanks' , but whether you do or not make sure above all you 'thank' the person who made this thread :)
[Xoom Android Development] Xaositek:
Added your video to the OP - great job :D

Worst case is a $600 brick that you can't return. There is nothing to back up. Basically the difference between "root" and "stock" is lost once you do the flash the bootloader, just continue and enjoy :D

I got root just fine but the books and youtube app got corrupted. They were showing up with 0kb size apps. And there was no way to uninstall or redownload from the market. A factory reset fixed this issue. But now the youtube widget shows up as 4x1 instead of what it was pre-root (4x2 I believe). Can someone else check what their youtube widget size is.

Question1:

At Video at 00:37 second you said “if you already have the bootloader unlocked”…So should I do the unlocking first or it is included in steps? “Should I do first this action; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967065”

Then follow up with what is in the video? "or it is included on steps"

Question2:

On the first step … You linked [Tiamat 1.1.6 boot.img]. Is this file should placed in any folder or any action to it is required? According to the video ...nothing is mentioned? I saw you copied the line beside the link and past it…

Thank you for barring with newbie
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
Answer 1: The unlocking of the bootloader is done after the following steps and you follow the onscreen procedures (use the volume keys to hit accept, etc.):

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

adb reboot bootloader​

Answer 2: Make sure you download that boot.img that is linked and place into your adb tools folder that way you can push to the device.

Hi, I plan to buy xoom wifi mz604 sometime this week. Please correct me to avoid error. thz

1. Download the Motorola WiFi Xoom Root Zip file and unzip it

2. You need the Moto Drivers

3. You'll need fastboot

4. Make sure you have the latest SDK - adb and fastboot should be in /platform-tools

Place the files in the SDK Tools folder.

Guide #1:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

adb reboot bootloader

Guide #2

[Xoom Android Development] XDRDX:
Grab the system dump Angdroid posted and adb push the files you replaced with the theme.

Alternativly you could grab the wifi only system.img and run the following commands.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash system system.img

adb reboot

This will replace you entire system image with factory system.

You will need to re-root also by replacing a few extra files listed in the root thread.

youtube and books

Everything rooted nicely, though I too have an issue with youtube and books. I can trick books into returning to normal by getting a books Apk, updating, then uninstalling the updates, but no combination of factory resets, restarts, or youtube apks will fix my youtube app. Help?

Edit: Fixed it myself. No amount of rebooting or factory resets worked for me, so I ended up grabbing the APK's (not the Odex) I needed out of the system.img dump thats out there for the wifi, adb pushed them to system/app on my newly rooted xoom, restart, and voila. Working apps. Kind of strange, but hopefully this will help others in the future.

Taken from tiamat's thread below under "How to Install" section

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=978013

NOTE: Special Instructions for 1.3.1

You have to manually make a new directory called "sdcard2" inside "sdcard" prior to flashing. Either use your file explorer of choice or...

Code:

adb shell

mkdir /data/media/sdcard2

exit

I will unlock and root tonight but I want to feel comfortable that I'm doing correctly.

Please proof read and correct me so i won't make a mistake. I'm a extremely noob. I watch the youtube posted, but it's very difficult to see what he's doing.

1. Install "JDK" from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

2. Install "android-sdk_r10-window.exe" from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

3. Install "Motorola USB Driver v5.0.0 for Windows" from http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/

4. Copy/paste "fastboot.exe" to C:\androidSDK\android-sdk-r10\android-sdk-windows\tools

5. Unzip xoomwifiroot and copy/past these file (.DS_Store, boot.img, su, Superuser.apk) to C:\androidSDK\android-sdk-r10\android-sdk-windows\tools

6. copy/paste bcmVold.fdtab from xoomwifiroot\system\etc to C:\androidSDK\android-sdk-r10\android-sdk-windows\tools

7. copy/paste bcm4329.ko, cifs.ko, scsi_wait_scan.ko, tun.ko from xoomwifiroot\system\lib\modules to C:\androidSDK\android-sdk-r10\android-sdk-windows\tools

Now I can follow these code:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

adb shell

mkdir /data/media/sdcard2

exit (physically put in microSD card if you are planning to use)
