[Q] 1 Click Root for Xoom WIFI?

[mpscmedic]

I have rooted several android phones, but always used a 1-click root. I do not know how to use the SDK, and am very nervous about trying it. Is there a 1-click root for the XOOM out there? I have a WIFI Xoom with jelly bean installed. Any help would really be appreciated!!!!

Learn how to use android sdk to execute adb and fastboot, worth learning and will save you loads of time in the future. Furthermore there are loads of tutorials and guides online already.

I second that you learn to adb. If something were to go wrong you'd have no clue what to do since you don't know how to use it.

Yea learning adb and fastboot is really important, but if you really want a one click tool use the one on my signature

I have used the android sdk to help root my Droid, my viewsonic G-tab, and even my eken tablets. And XDA has a *ton* of info. A ton.

But for peeps that have just gotten a xoom (like me) there seems to be a lot of info about rooting pre-JB. And very little about rooting a stock JB tablet.

If there's a good resource for rooting a stock JB MZ604 (wifi only tablet) that you know of, I personally would appreciate a link. 'Cause the google isn't finding it. And neither is XDA forum search.

Thanks

As far as unlocking the boot loader, that is the same across all versions.

d3athsd00r, I will allow your hairy eyeball (in good humor) for the apparent *lack* of searching. I thanked you for your post and effort.

However, you have posted a link for an image flash. (I found it too.) And while it will effectively 'root' my device, it just ain't the same.

I guess any interest in actually rooting the xoom post-honeycomb waned after Motorola mentioned 4.1.2 was as far as it went. <sigh>

Thanks!
Dan

Its the stock image with root injected. There are no root methods that allow you to root without unlocking the boot loader first (which wipes your internal storage) and then either flashing a root package with a recovery or doing an image flash. Either way it comes out to the same thing. No one is going to waste time trying to find root exploits without unlocking the boot loader when it literally takes three cmd/terminal commands to root.

reboot fastboot
fastboot OEM unlock

Thanks for the response.

Of all the android devices I've had and flashed versus rooting, I rather prefer the outcome of rooting: no data loss. But you have convinced me, and I'm pretty darned stubborn.

I'll get to it during my vacations the week after next.
