[Root] Universal Xoom Root - ANY XOOM ANY UPDATE

[runandhide05]

Success!!!

Downloaded the su package from post 2 in

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825753

Flashed and it worked fine.

Likely an incompatibility with the SU package for ICS and the modded one someone made for JB.

I really, really, really appreciate your assistance and help.

Thank you. Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.

No problem glad you got it taken care of.

In the OP it states that one method is to place the RAH TWRP zip in ext.sd card and flash from existing Android/xoom recovery--is this still good to go--with mz604 International version.
I have problems running ADB SDK stuff from my PC..

Oops--wrong thread--sorry.....duh!

Jeez im not sure how much more clear and redundant you can be. lol ALL xoom models includes every xoom ever produced by Motorola. Anyways can we update the link? It is no longer active for me.

Thanks!

Guys, This roots all Xooms, all updates (present and future).

unable to download universal root

This was also tested on a 4G Xoom and is working 100%.

as stated by the title, i can not for the life of me download the universal root. it goes to the website, but even if i save target as, it will not download it for some reason. if you could pm me for an alternate download site that would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try the link in the previous post, #445?

 

[MIKEOS98]

did YOU try the link in post #445...?

Two different antivirus product detect the same malware within the file and block it.

I DID use the link, but it was a few years ago. If you are having trouble now, apparently the link has been corrupted.

working links

Is there any place where I can download the files to root my zoom JZ054M....all the links dont work anymore?

Just wanted to leave a note. The file hosted at https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=22979647981486085 has some issues. I just tried on my Verizon Xoom and it failed to root the device. One more copy is on somebody's google drive but it won't let me download it.

By extreme remote chance if anybody has a backup, would love to have a copy. Thanks in advance.

Got as far as unlocking it, now trying to root it. Can't root it. Tried Framaroot, didn't bother with vRoot. Tried Kingroot.

Every single walk through for rooting or putting a custom ROM on for me has never worked in the way described. There is ALWAYS a point where what I am told I will see or need to press isn't there. I tried following the instructions in this one. I found the files I think I need as all the old links are dead.

Anyway, installing ADB and Fastboot. All you need to do is download the Android platform tools zip file and unzip it. No installation necessary, no need for Android Studio.

I then found that once I have ADB and Fastboot on the PC, I need to unlock the device. What was a bit of a surprise was that it does a factory reset during this bit. To unlock it just open a command prompt, connect your Xoom up and from where you put ADB and Fastboot, type:

fastboot oem unlock

Agree to the guff that it says. Then wait. It takes about a minute. You will now need to reconfigure the Xoom to get it back up and running as normal. Then you can go about rooting it. However, having tried 2 of the 3 methods of rooting, none worked, so I'm a bit stuffed at the moment. Anyone any ideas or up to date links that give working information?

Ta.

I have found that I still have a copy of the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file. I just used it on my Xoom and it seems to be working fine. I also have the CWM recovery file that can be pushed via adb. I will post both files here. I have been without my Xoom for a while as it was on loan to my daughter... just got it back and wiped / loaded with Jellybean. It's amazing how much stuff we forget in a few years time! ... anyway the files are below...

Would you repost the universal root zip again? Getting restricted file error. Was able to get img without problem. Thanks.

but i been thinking... with new root methods and updated other methods (figuring this device was back in ics and jb)...why cant we just flash twrp with an unlocked bootloader and flash a rom? https://dl.twrp.me/wingray/
