[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mootmetal:
step 26 is supposed to mount ur sdcard in ur computer so u can copy the file in it ...if u cant just use a card reader or mount ur sd card in another phone to copy the cordroid zip ...than reboot to recovery and continue instalation ...no worries
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] soziusch:
In your STEP 23. "Move down to mount USB storage" you should connect your phone to your Computer. Your Computer should find a new device and install the drivers - this may take a while. After installing the device you should see your Phone (sdcard) as a new drive. Then you can copy the ROM to this drive and go on with the next steps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sagga01:
Thank you for your reply!m

I have done step 23.

On step 26 i get a new drive but i cant access it. I dont have a card reader or antoher phone with a sd card slot, is there a other way to do it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] soziusch:
what exactly is your meaning of can't access it? Is it greyed out?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] soziusch:
You can also try to mount usb from magldr instead of CWM. Just start your phone and hold down power key. If you have the magldr menu, then there should be a point where you can mount sd-card over usb - try this if you can copy the ROM from there. Then you have to restart and enter CWM to continue
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sagga01:
Didn't find mount sd-card over usb option in magldr. I think i need to format my sd card, ill by a card reader.

Universal Xoom Root​

Thats right, this method will work for any xoom on any update - Including future updates!!!

Note: Unlike the similar method floating around on here, this also gives you an unsecured boot image.

-- Please Note: this thread is still a work in process and has been sped up by the arrival of the 4g Xooms --

Current requirements: adb & fastboot have been setup and you have an external sdcard for your xoom.

1. Setting up adb & fastboot

Coming Soon! (If you want to write this section for me and pm me it, thats fine !)

2. Downloading the rooting-update zip file.

Download the zip file from here.

Now place this on your external sdcard. - Sorry this is a requirement at the moment, like I said this is a bit rushed.

3. Flashing recovery

1. Download this Recovery image.

2. If your device is locked, now is a good time to unlock it.

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot

3. Flash recovery

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img

Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.

Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.

4. Flashing the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file.

If you're in clockwork mod recovery you can continue (This recovery image will say it is clockwork mod) . If you're not looking at clockwork mod, then you need to repeat step 3 again.

In cwm, go into "install zip from sdcard" -> "Choose zip from sdcard", then select the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file you downloaded.

Note: use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select

Reboot your device and then welcome to your rooted device!

By any Xoom... does that mean the country of the Xoom doesn't matter? Because I am currently still working on my Xoom Heaven stickied thread, and this would be an amazing addition to my thread. It will be much less confusing for all when it comes to rooting. I was working on adding Euro models rooting guides next, but an any Xoom and any model rooting method is awesome! And it would result in a lot less semi bricks.
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
Correct. As long as the xoom can be unlocked and cwm works, this tool should work!
[Xoom Android Development] StrifeSoldierVII:
Awesome! Thank you. I just wanted to make sure of this before I linked it up on my thread. It's good to know this will work for future releases. Finally, a real rooting method that will always stay current. Team Tiamat wins! :)

Yes.

Yes, this does the modifications on the fly.
[Xoom Android Development] silvinoa:
Wipes Xoom

I think the answer is yes, but I'll ask to make sure. Since this is changing the recovery/boot images, should I assume that it wipes the Xoom?
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
Only if you haven't done fastboot oem unlock before.
[Xoom Android Development] eddielo:
Good, you make this work.

Are you inspired by my method, or you think of it all by yourself?

I had actually intended to write this since the release of Android 3.2 on the wifi Xooms.

So, just root it! Adding CWM recovery and even flashing a kernel but keeping the stock rom should be just fine. There was a really nice Tiamat HC3.1 kernel-- you could probably use that and win!

I have a little question it's probably asked before but I just ask it to be sure.

When my Xoom is rooted can I still recieve updates? << I think so but does it also install it? Because off the unlocked bootloader.

I am asking this because I never had a device before with a locked bootloader

Sent from my GT-I9100 using CyanogenMod7
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
If you just unlock but don't root, you can get OTA updates and they should install fine.

If you root, even without any additional custom ROM/kernel mods, you may receive notification of an OTA update but you should not accept it and try to install it. It will probably put you into a bootloop or worse.

If you wish to root, don't worry. Our wonderful developers are hard at work right now, configuring an ICS update for the Xoom...we'll probably get it before the official Xoom release comes out OTA.

Anyway, you can always revert back to stock if you really want the OTA update, but stock is soooo boring.

[Xoom Android Development] wiredup:
how do you know whether the device has been successfully rooted? I unlocked, ran the universal root zip then upgraded the kernal to 2.2.2. However, I cannot mount thee card as r/w or su. Any thoughts?
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
Download Root File Explorer, and you can mount the sdcard r/w from there.

Any root app should let you know if you have root.
[Xoom Android Development] wiredup:
OK, I cannot mount the card as r/w. Thus, it sounds like I need to rerun the universal root?

EDIT: rerunning universal root fixed the issue. Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] bluenote73:
Someone else said they had the same issue with build H.6.4-20 (which I am on on my Canadian Wifi Xoom), and they solved by getting the stock files from motorola for the US xoom and applying those.

I was eventually able to get past the NVflash/RSD/Fastboot conundrum by booting into android and doing adb reboot recovery. That did take me to CWM,

and from there I was able to apply the root zip file.

The question I have for everyone else is - it worries me that I cannot get into CWM recovery from vol-down, and I assume this means that if I ever have a problem where I can't boot into android I won't be able to flash and recover

I may be screwed or looking at more trouble than necessary.

So after the fact, can anyone tell me how to get around the limitation of only having Nvflash / RSD / Fastboot as options to scroll through ?
[Xoom Android Development] dtevegas:
Anyone tried this on the latest Telstra Au 3.2 update?

New build is H.6.5-17-1

edit : tried it - works great

edit 2 : after rooting , can no longer see the external SD in windows explorer - shame
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
I don't think that this is a rooting issue...This is due to Honeycomb itself.

[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
You can try that...do a wipe data/factory reset from within the cwm recovery menu and the flash the Rom. It might work.
[Xoom Android Development] DroidVPN:
Thanks it did fixed the boot loop. But I cannot activate 3g so I just flashed back the stock images from moto and then installed the Odachi kernel :) Everything is now working fine. :)
[Xoom Android Development] randyored:
I think the major question is... If I have a wifi xoom, is it locked? Does it need to be unlocked if there was no carrier lock on it?
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
Yes you also need to perform the unlock. This is unlocking the bootloader and has nothing to do with the carriers.

[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
A wild guess, see if your pc is set to hide file extensions. If so, you could be trying to flash recovery-tiamat-cwm.img.img and that wouldn't work. It could be something else, probably very simple. If you're using a guide, go back over it, step by step to see if you missed a step or messed up your syntax by a space or something.

Family Edition

Ive read through this whole thread and I cannot seem to get a clear answer, and its been asked a bunch of times, what about the MZ505 Xoom Family Edition? In the op, it clearly states that ANY xoom, without qualifications, can be rooted this way, but it appears that the family edition cannot? Is this correct? Has anyone had success using this method to root the Family Edition? I have one, and I would very much like to root it. If it cannot be rooted using this method, can that be added to the op to avoid confusion like I am having?

Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] popssracer:
Family Edition, more info

Ok, I have ADB set up and working properly, I have my Family Edition xoom showing up on the adb device list. Im using the stock cable, etc. When I type in "adb reboot bootloader", my xoom reboots, but does not enter a bootloader, or anything else, it just reboots normally, right back to the normal android home. when I then type "fastboot oem unlock" it just says waiting on device, and nothing happens. Any ideas? I don't really understand what all is going on under the hood, so to speak, but the op states ANY xoom, so I assumed this would work?
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
Anyone rooted it yet? And it has a different processor, the OMAP something, so how could this work with what is essentially a completely different device.

Every Xoom in this case means every version of the original Xoom, and every update of that device.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

It's obviously not my thread and it would be up to the OP to make it clear the the only device that this method promises to root is the original Xoom. The newer devices haven't been rooted successfully yet, as far as I know.
[Xoom Android Development] popssracer:
That is unfortunate. I will be returning this model and purchasing a proper xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] popssracer:
Returned it this morning, shelled out an extra hundred bucks, and bought a real xoom. Unlocked, rooted, installed cwm, custom rom. One issue, thats been documented elsewhere, is that I am not able to choose recovery from the selections in the top left on boot w/ volume button. All I get is nvflash, fastboot, and one other option, RSD or something. I got around this by rebooting via ADB into recovery from my pc, but I would like to be able to boot into recovery without doing it this way.

A side note, buyer beware on those family edition xooms. It took a lot of digging before I realized that they are not rootable currently (if you take the ota update anyway), and also have different hardware. This is very contrary to what I was told at best buy (no surprise there..) Functionally out of the box theyre excellent, but not if you like to play with them in the way most of us here do ;)
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
Just download Quickboot from the market and use that to boot into cwm recovery.

If you are using the Moray Rom, you should also have the various boot options when you hold down the power button as if to power off (not just turn off the screen).
[Xoom Android Development] Craxx:
I am also using Quickboot from market -> works very well:)
