This is what all of us are waiting on. After waiting patiently for the wi/fi model, now we must wait patiently for the community.

It is still a work in progress. The first thing that needs to happen is to extract the wifi only stock "boot.img" to find out the differences between the wifi only and wifi+3g versions.

Not only that tiamat and coolbho3000 will have to provide an updated kernel with a new ocboot.img file based on the wifi only version.

Seems like a lot of work that needs to happen but development will speed up once the wifi only xoom is available for the general public (mar 27th). Hope it takes less than a week to crack the root since I expect to get my wifi xoom on this upcoming wed.

If you guys can unlock bootloader, just rip the boot.img for backup. Then use my kernel instead of the listed one in the root method. If it fails, just flash ur backup boot.img. Tiamat has wifi only drivers in it.

Even unlocked, the boot.img is not coming out

Can you give more details or instructions on how to do a rip of the boot.img for backup? Some of us are noobs here. Hopefully the community can figure out a solution soon to rooting the wifi version.

It's fruitless to chase the stockboot.img - grab your root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010568
