You can use the flashs provided by droidevelopers.com but they will wipe your data when you unroot this way

It works for Xoom 2 ME with 3G or not?

Sr - works fine. I could not understand what author mean when wrote in first post:
5. Then run the installer included in the download.
Click to expand...
I ran *.exe files in the unzip folder and nothing. Next (in the evening) I tried run *.bat file
DroidRazrRoot404.bat
Click to expand...
and works perfect.
I think that author could change info in 5 point from first post to:
5. Then run the installer included in the download (file DroidRazrRoot404.bat).

It was a unconfirmed method of rooting on ICS, so I wanted to check if it worked for all users. And updated point 5 for you.

Plus - Updated OP with bootstrap method, don't post any bootstrap developer related questions here but on the official thread.

For now 1.2 is max.

Bootloader is locked than is no way to deploy overclockable kernel but after root just set cpu to max speeds and clean your device from rubbish google staff.
My Xoom 2 ME is very fast 2 x 1.2 Mhz and is extremely fast for net and games.Cheers

XOOM2/Xyboard Everything root and more!

Root Method - Honeycomb
1. Download the Windows version here, or the Linux/OSX version here.

2. Your Computer must have Motorola Drivers installed before rooting and connect your device with debugging on to your computer via USB. (Mac Users don't need drivers)

3. Extract the zip file from the download link, and run “run.bat” (on Windows) or “run.sh” from a terminal (on Linux/OSX)

4. Your device should reboot a few times during the process, don't worry.

5. Then you should see a finished message on the Root Method Window. At this point your device is safe to be removed from the computer.

7. As you are running Honeycomb if you are reading this then you should be receiving the ICS OTA soon. So lets backup your root so you can restore everything root after the upgrade (saves time). Download OTA Rootkeeper and backup root.

6. Well Done! You have root. Enjoy root and be safe.

Blog Post: Here

Root Method - Ice Cream Sandwich

1. Connect your Xoom2/Xyboard via USB to your Windows PC. Install Motorola Drivers from here.

2. Under Settings > Developer Options > Hit the "Enable USB Debugging" selection.

3. Download the Root Installer from here. (Says for Droid RAZR but also works on Xyboard and Xoom 2]

4. Unzip the download.

5. Then run the installer included in the download (file DroidRazrRoot404.bat).

6. Well Done! You now have root.

Bootstrap [Custom Recovery]
Waring: DO NOT proceed if you are inexperienced. bootstrap is messy and is only needed once we have ROMs cooking. All questions about the recovery ask in the developer thread.

1. Install the Bootstrap APK file.
2. Allow Superuser Powers.
3. Read the instructions which is displayed on the user interface.
4. Press “Boot Recovery” followed by plugging in your charger.
5. You will then boot into Clockwork Recovery.
6. Once you have installed the Recovery and you want to enter the recovery again simply power off device, then plug in your charger, to re-enter the recovery.


Unroot or temporary unroot

Temp Unroot - If you need to unroot for any reason and come back at any time, then install OTA Rootkeeper and then select the option "temp unroot). This will remove root without restarting and you can restore by a touch of a button.

Full remove of Root - If you want to complety remove root all together, if you need to send in your device for repair or trading your device. Install Ginger Unroot and continue with the onscreen instructions. This application has confirmed to work on the Xoom2/Xyboard.​

I'm having a problem trying to root my Xoom 2 mz607 running ICS, i am sure that the latest Motorola drivers are installed and that USB Debugging is enabled, still, when i run the bat script i am stuck at * daemon started successfully *. adb is not founding my device. What am i doing wrong?

Edit: never mind, i got it working. Apparently i had a faulty USB cable.

Thanks anyway.
