SUMMARY

You must already be running Honeycomb 3.2 on your Xoom

You will be unlocking your Xoom, if you have not already. This will wipe data so make sure to back everything up that you would like to keep.

You will be unlocking your Xoom, if you have not already. This will wipe data so make sure to back everything up that you would like to keep.

You will be performing steps in ADB. If you are not familiar with this, read HERE first.

You will need Xoom USB drivers and Fastboot

You will need the boot (kernel) partition with rooted stock 3.2 kernel (thanks & credit to, solarnz and p3droid) [see Attachment]

You will need Superuser.apk and su binary to enable functioning root [see Attachment]

**Before you get started, make sure the USB Debugging option is enabled in the Settings. Go to Settings --> Applications --> Development -->USB Debugging**

PROCEDURE

Download and unzip files. Place kernel.img, superuser.apk & su binary in the same place you will open your command window.

Open command window:

Type; adb devices - you should see a long serial number on the screen. If no serial number appears, recheck your adb, sdk & moto usb driver files.

Type; adb reboot bootloader

Type; fastboot oem unlock - and follow the steps on your xoom's screen (You have to accept the terms by pressing the volume down key, and then select 'accept' by pressing the volume up key.)

Allow the xoom to boot up completely and go back into settings and enable USB debugging again.

In the command window on your PC type; adb reboot bootloader - (if xoom does not respond, disconnect from pc and reboot manually by holding vol up + power. then reconnect after fully rebooted)

Type; fastboot flash boot kernel.img

Type; fastboot reboot

Allow the xoom to boot completely - your xoom should be in normal operating mode for the remainder of the process.

In the command window on your PC type; adb remount

Type; adb push su /system/bin

Type; adb shell ln –s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

Type; adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

Type; adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

Thats it...your done!! Unplug the xoom and reboot. Your xoom is now stock rooted.

You can now flash ClockworkMod, other kernels and roms. To verify root, download a root user app from the market and run it.

You should be prompted to allow superuser permissions.

Mac Only Procedure

You will need fastboot for mac

Open a terminal (located in the utilities folder)

Navigate to your sdk/platform-tools folder

Type; ./adb devices - (look for the xoom serial number to show its connected.)

Type; ./adb reboot bootloader

Type; chmod 755 fastboot

Type; ./fastboot oem unlock

Type; adb reboot bootloader

Type; ./fastboot flash boot kernel.img

Type; ./fastboot reboot

Type; ./adb remount

Type; ./adb push su /system/bin

Type; ./adb shell ln –s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

Type; adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

Type; ./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

Disconnect and reboot xoom. Download a root app and test.
