rooting xoom with no sdcard

[xoomyxooms]

is it possible to root the device without having use of an SD card? I do not have one (sdcard) but wish to enjoy the pleasures of r00t, can it be done through the sdk instead??

cheers

Yes you can.

Yes you can.

that's great, can you provide a link to a guide or the steps to do it, if it's only a few adb commands, please?

actually, think I found it - including ADB in searched significantly improved search results.

"xoom root adb"

thanks for your time.

Just to keep this thread updated, the following guide will help with getting a rooted 3.2.1 x00m when you do not own an sd card.

If not on the US version (which I wasn't) and stuck on version 3.1, simply download the US firmware and flash it taking the x00m back to stock 3.0.1, then use the inbuilt Android OS updater (in settings) get to 3.2.1, then proceed as normal with the guide:

w00t, 3.2.1 r00ted.

Also, learning ADB is very useful

...but anyway when you have rooted, the next is to use CWM and for recovery it's a must to have an ext cd card.
