[UPDATE][US WIFI ONLY]Android 3.2 on Xoom WiFi, Root, via ClockworkMod Recovery

[qubz]

FYI: I'll have a complete update for this later, I.E you will be able to flash from any rom / kernel, as long as you have updated to 3.1

Look forward to your work.

For those of you that have this working can you copy or delete anything from your sdcard?

I get an error anytime i try

OP Updated:

v04: Included Superuser.apk and su binary; no need to have them prior to updating. Still requires stock 3.1 HMJ37 system/ROM.

Can someone point to a link where i can get a flashable stock kernel? Getting the same update aborted, I am running stock 3.1 but with a custom kernel.
Thanks.

Just fastboot flash boot boot.img from the link u linked.

But will that delete my data?

EDIT: I'll just wait for solarnz to post his. thanks for your help though.

No boot is just the kernel.

How about updating the Superuser.apk and su to the new bacon that ChainsDD has out there? Because I'm trying to update to it and just can't. Have tried uninstalling Superuser using Titanium to install the new one and that's a no-go.

Any hint on what I should do to update the bacon?

just got done flashing no super user with v04

su isn't in /system/bin?
Superuser.apk isn't in /system/app?

You sure? Mine came with v2.3.6.1 installed.

I'm getting:

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/etc/vold.fstab")

Do I need to flash 3.1 boot.img to fix?

I'll be uploading v05 in the next hour, which skips all the checks and flashes system. Stand by for that, instead.

Great, thanks!

Won't this open it for vulnerability? I mean, if the checks fail there must be something wrong, no?

You can manually remove the two files and symlink:

/system/app/Superuser.apk
/system/bin/su
/system/xbin/su

ok so I reflased n everything seems OK super user appeared going to test SD card

Won't this open it for vulnerability? I mean, if the checks fail there must be something wrong, no?

I added one check in system.prop to verify that the ro.product.model is set to "Xoom".

People are having problems with the check that verifies whether the system.prop reflects the device as "wingray" (Xoom Wi-Fi). Tiamat, for instance, updates system.prop for both the 3G and the Wi-Fi with device as "stingray" (Xoom 3G). So if you install Tiamat on your Xoom Wi-Fi, the check will fail because it looks like a 3G. I've removed that.

The other checks are mainly to verify each file is what is expected before patching the files. My v05 update gets rid of that altogether, replacing the patching with the flashing of a 3.2 system.img that includes superuser and omits the recovery overwrite which comes with stock 3.2.

As long as you're applying the update on a US Xoom Wi-Fi, there shouldn't be any issue with dropping the rest of the checks.

OP updated.

v05: Removed system file checks and patches; instead flashes 3.2 system image with Superuser.apk and su binary preinstalled and recovery overwrite removed.
