I'd like to know the same thing.

Xoom One Click by Jason Tyler
This is one of my first contributions to the community although I have read and used XDA for years.
If you want to know if you can trust me or my tools check out my upcoming Android App Inventor book on Amazon from John Wiley and Sons.
You can also check my heavy involvement over at the Google App Inventor support forums where I am a community liaison and PowerUser. Hal Abelson will vouch for me. (Heh Heh, Hal will kill me. )
This is an all in one package for Unlock, Root and UnRoot and ReLock of the Xoom MZ600.
It is a GUI front end for the adb commands that are needed.
To use this tool:
1. You MUST have your tablet in Debug mode.
2. You DO NOT have to download the SDK or any images.
3. YOU MUST ACCEPT ALL THE USUAL RISK.
Like ALL rooting there is a risk of bricking your device. It’s a small risk but a risk you need to be aware of.
You WILL void your warranty using this tool.
This tool is easy. I have rooted unrooted and rerooted my Xoom umpteen times today testing it.
NOTE:
The WIFI version tools will only work for unlocking and rooting. I do not have the images for the back to stock on the Wifi.
There are two versions of this tool:
1. Root AND Unroot and back to stock. This one is large because of the stock system.img clocking in at 200+mb
2. The NO UNROOT version. This is lots smaller. It is only about 19mb. You can NOT UNROOT with this tool. (Well, you can unroot but not relock. )
Instructions:
1. Unzip the tool and all of the folders and files into a directory. Preferably a folder on a root drive. (i.e. c:\xoom )
2. Run the Xoom One Click EXE tool and follow the instructions. Read the prompts carefully.
WARNING: WIFI Root is untested as I do not have a Wifi. Let me know how it works. Same process as 3G I just cant test it.

Don't you backup anyways just in case? Even if it does wipe then you'll won't lose (much of) anything regardless.
ATTENTION: The one click tool now also includes one click to update manually to HRI66 for 3G I am unsure of Wifi as I can not test it.
New download links: (Jbrew will update OP momentarily.)

You can hit me up here or via email (put RootMyXoom) in the subject, or on Twitter @jwtyler (most of the time).
Hope this helps get some new rooters and hackers started. I started with one clicks on my Droid OG... Just paying it forward.
Cheers.

Edit: MAJOR THANKS to Jbrew and Phiredrop for sponsoring this here. I just have never posted much. I usually just read XDA all day. Thanks guys.
THE REAL DEV"S DID ALL THE WORK! KOUSH, BIGRUSHDOG, And all the rest. I tried to give props and creds in the app. If I missed any I am NOT trying to take credit. What I did is NOTHING compared to their work.
Edit: Checkin' to see if it posts my sig with all my contact info.
You will need the device recognized by windows.
1. Can you access your Xoom storage via your computer?
2. Does the computer make a "USB Connected" sound when you take the Xoom in and out of Debug?
If the answer to either of this questions is no, then you need to install the Moto Dev drivers.
I just realized I was not qouting questions. If you think I didn't answer your question just ask again. Monitoring the thread.
In the OP (original post) the links at the bottom of the post are the most recent. One is with unroot (large download) one is without unroot (smaller download).I am sorry, but which posting of yours is the most current that I should use?

I think I can make the next version pull the user data from common folders and store it locally i.e. a data backup if that is something that would interest the community.
worked on my WIFI-Xoom on the first shot, thanks man!!
Now I wonder what the best app is for backups... Titanium doesn't seem to support honeycomb (apps list is empty save for some random settings)
