[Q] Almost rooted?

[john_hc09]

Hi guys,

I flashed my Xoom to ICS, and now I have the following configuration:

- I can do adb, adb install
- I can do adb shell as regular user,
- from there, I can do "su" and get access to /data and other root files
- RootChecker tells me I'm not rooted
- no rooted app works (e.g. RootExplorer)

I guess I just need to install SuperUser.apk, sudo and a couple of other things, but I am overwhelmed with information (SuperOneClick, Z4Root etc). Can somebody help me? How can I get rooted apps to work?

Thank you very much
John

What ICS build did you use? I'm not aware of any stable Xoom ICS Rom at this time?

Troll post? I mean, if you're one of those in the know to get an alpha ICS ROM, you'd assume you'd have a dev friend to help you with the quirks of it.

What do you mean, guys? The latest software is available here.

androidadvices.com update-root-motorola-xoom-honeycomb-322-firmware-version [apparently I cannot post links]

Isn't it supposed to be stable? When is a stable version going to be available?

That is definitely not ICS they are talking about in that site. They are talking about Android 3.2.2 which is still Honeycomb. After playing with my Galaxy Nexus all day though, Ice Cream Sandwich can't come out fast enough for the 4G Xoom... it is honestly so much more polished.

Lol, no... we have also ics for zoom, it is in the dev section... works great except a few flaws... and there is no root right now
