[GUIDE][US 3G ONLY] How To Root Your Xoom From 3.2 Stock [PC & Mac]

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.

PS: to the mods --> please move this thread to the Dev part, currently it's not possible for me to post in there...

Hi!

Have you had the su binary in the same direstory
From which youve executed the following cmd:

Type; adb push su /system/bin

Because then everything should be fine!
Bye
