Is there a method out yet? I'm looking at the one click root method but it's unclear if it works with the 3.1 Wifi US model. I don't want to be a guinea pig so if anyone knows please let me know. Majority wins.
Please wait until a new boot image has been made for the wifi model
Ok cool thanks. I'll burn some time downloading more apps and stuff.
Just follow those steps.

I had a stock wifi xoom and got my 3.1 update OTA yesterday and install it. If I do this method, does it take my xoom back to 3.0.1, then back to 3.1? Do I loose my data?

Jase33 helped me with this a little while ago, in order to root you will have to go back to 3.0.1.
In doing so you will lose data. You can use BRD's method to get 3.1 fully rooted.
If you have a WIFI-only Xoom you can also attain root using my method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13712556
First your Xoom has to be unlocked, then all you need to do is install a custom recovery and flash my MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip file.
Unlocking your XOOM:
Follow the first step here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010568
Once your unlocked all you need to do is flash a custom recovery (I recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
and flash my MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip file from within your new recovery.
By the way the file needs to be on an external SD card so you'll need one of those as well.
As far as working one-click methods, that I am unsure of.

Folks, be careful with this. Dont rush into something you may regret. And last I checked you need root existing for cwm to work properly. So if you are on HC 3.1 stock, be glad you got the OTA and wait for something to be posted and tested. Too many posts are titled "HELP!!!! PLEASE!!! my Xoom is bricked or stuck or whatever"
I'm just going to wait for the One-Click to come out. I know how to root and adb but I'm leaving today from NJ to NC for my brothers graduation. I don't want to get started in something that I won't be able to finish. Hopefully when I come back the one click will be out.

Can someone please outline the steps needed to update my wifi Xoom to the latest 3.1 update? Currently, my Xoom is rooted, running the Timat Kernal v. 1.1.6. I’m assuming I have to return the Xoom back to stock. I’m just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

Can you afford to lose data? Do you have an OTG USB Host Cable?
If you have USB OTG cable, you can download the wifi xoom (US Wifi xoom) from the link in my signature
If you don't, you still download the wifi official update zip file from link in my signature, but to follow steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073884
(I prefer this link because you no need factor reset following this and you know what are being flashed EXACTLY.)
Then you can apply the overclock kernel (not tiamat or brd's, but TDR's oc kernel)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079972
Above two major steps make my US wifi xoom scream and happy. But I do acknowledge the relatively long process you need to do following the 3.1 upgrade in step 1.
If you don't care losing data and you want to go back to stock and unroot completely... go to this place to download official us xoom stock images
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Good luck and do remember back up your data when you play with fire =)
I'm running that OC kernal now. Makes the xoom much more media friendly i.e. streaming movies and videos is a breeze.
jiwengang,
Thank you so much for replying. One last question.... If I return to stock, will I be able to re-root the Xoom, or do I have to go with a customized Kernel in order to root?

Yes you need to root at the process of flashing following the link in my reply above.
that meaning flash cmw recovery also. but kernel will be stock.
just a note that if you root your xoom, you can't rent movie from the market.
So here's the deal. I'm running CM9Alpha13. And while I love having my phone rooted and playing around with it, I was really only interested in getting ICS for my phone. No I know I'll miss Francisco.Franco's kernels and I'll miss Koush's awesome ROMs but I just really want a stable ICS.
So my question is how long before I can root my ICS if I do the official downgrade to GB and Upgrade to ICS?
Any guestimate would be great!
Thanks in advance.

I am sure it wont take long...just give the devs a day or so to play with things and get everything worked out.

Confirmed that this worked on Google issued phone (same as T-Mobile version). The following is the order I used to come from CM9 Alpha 11:
1. Backup using Titanium, reboot to recovery.
2. Use CWM to flash stock 2.3.6.
3. Use CWM to flash stock ICS 4.0.3.
4. Wipe all user data.
5. Install the linked superuser through CWM (I had previous tried older and newer versions, which did not work).
6. Reboot phone, go through setup, download Titanium, and restore. Phone is definitely rooted (otherwise Titanium is unusable). I did not try to update the su binaries and will avoid doing so.
any way to root with something like superoneclick?
I'd like to avoid flashing custom stuff on it. just need root.

You dont actually need to do steps 3 and 4. Because when i went through all that, i installed a custom recovery then i flashed a pre-rooted rom and all worked well.

So from what I gather from reading is that you have to unlock Bootloaders & Push Recovery Image thru ADB.
I would have thought by now somone would have done it with terminal, or some other way to Flash the Recovery.

Do I need to have clockwork mod installed or anything, i have done NOTHING root to my xoom. I rooted my HTC EVO 4G. But i havent flashed a recovery, installed a ROM, No SU, NOTHING. So what exactly should i do with your zip?
Use instructions and tools in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468298 to get Clockwork installed, and then use the modded zip that matt4321 posted (I think that should work... )
Yeah use the AIO tool to unlock your bootloader, then you want to install CWM recovery, then boot into recovery and flash the zip I uploaded
I used this exact process (ended up just GEDify'ing it after sending it back to stock), but before I did that everything worked fine.
Thank you!

I installed TWRPv2.8.0.0-Wingray-Non-BigPart on my Xoom. That process went flawlessly.

Yeah, that zip should be good to root any Xoom on 4.1. I wouldn't bother sorting root if you want to go to bigpart as it wipes everything anyway.
Jump straight to bigpart, read read and read again this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506997
Once that is all sorted and booted, I think you should be good to just flash whatever root tool you want (SuperSU, phh superuser etc)

Let do one step at a time. NVflash is very very critical, once you upgrade you will not able to do this. NVflash backup help you to recover from a soft brick situation. After you done with NVflash, here is how to manual upgrade to JB.
1) Download the .30 verion firmware from Asus site (make sure if you in US, you should download the US version of .30)
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T&p=20&s=16
2) Extract the .zip file somehwere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP and copy it to the ROOT of a MicroSD card or INTERNAL SD card.
4) Use this button combination to get to stock recovery mode
Turn off tablet. Pressing Volume Down and POWER button together until you see white text message appeared on the screen, now release both buttons. Now press Volume UP button (before the 5 seconds expire).At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .
Once done, I will go into how to root.

1. Yes, if you DON'T want to UNLOCK to root your device. Once you're on .30, you root then use OTA root keeper to save root then upgrade to JB.
2. If you went straight to JB, then you need to unlock in order to root. This will be more complicate, since you need to install custom recovery, fastboot and SDK.

Most of bricking caused by operators' errors, like using the wrong recovery, wrong bootloader/wrong version for the rom etc.., but if you careful, by doing search and ask first then it's pretty safe to flash custom rom.

The simple process would be, download full .30 rom from Asus site, place on root of your external micro SD card or internal SDcard, boot into stock recovery and flash it. Next root your device, then download OTA root keeper to save your root. Let OTA upgrade your device, if OTA is not working, then manually upgrade to JB. Once on JB, use OTA root keeper to restore root. That's it.

Well, if you plan to run custom rom, you need to unlock and custom roms come pre-rooted, so you don't have to worry about losing root.

On your PC you need the following:
1. Android SDK (should comes with ADB and fastboot commands).
2. USB driver for your device.
You are going to use fastboot command to install custom recovery, or you could download Goomanager from Googleplay and install TWRP this way. Once you have TWRP/CWR, you boot into custom recovery mode (hold down volume down and power button), then find the custom rom then flash it, pretty straight forward.
