Root Xoom Wifi 3.1

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.

Thanks, I personally wasn't looking for a one-click, cant speak for the OP though. So, in order to install a customer recovery we don't have to be rooted already?

One more, I see your method mentions having the original boot image. Will that be necessary if you're never rooted running 3.1. Thanks again.

Will this wipe my data?

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.

[Q][SOLVED] Upgrading from Canadian Wifi 3.0.1 to US Wifi 3.1

Hi All!
I would like to convert my completely stock non-rooted Canadian Wifi Xoom (MZ604) into a US xoom so that I can install the 3.1 software on it, as well as root, sdcard capable kernel, and CWM recovery.
Unfortunately, after reading many many of the threads here, I am totally confused as to what order to follow. Here is what I'm thinking, but please please correct me if I am wrong:
[steps removed]
Is that it? I feel like I'm missing something or that I may brick my device since it is not a US-rom that I am using as a base.
Thanks for the help!
[update 28th May]: The steps that I followed to get 3.1 with CWM & Tiamat on my Canadian Xoom are below, in post #7.

1. boot the device into fastboot and unlock it. Erase all cache and wipe the userdata.
2. Flash the complete US 3.0.1 HWI69 ROM. (yes, do this)
2.1 Root the 3.0.1 Rom
3. Install CWM recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1074979 using the fastboot method.
4. Install the 3.1 update from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1074609, skipping the 3G step since I only have Wifi.
5. Install Tiamat 1.4.2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013. (update to one of the newest kernels)
6. Install International Language Pack from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1083612 to get back all languages from 3.0.1 ROM.

For your suggested step "2.1 Root the 3.0.1 Rom", would the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010568 be the suggested strategy?

that will work

So did you do all that you said ? Did it work ?
i'm about to do my candian wifi xoom !
Thanks

I was hesitant to do that since I am reading a lot of bricking stories lately, I have a canadian MZ604 stock too, will do the same if you succeed!

Alright folks, It's been a few days now since I've updated my Xoom, so here's the process that I used. Note that it is different from the steps I listed in the original post:
1. Unlock the device via fastboot. Instructions here. DO NOT RE-LOCK EVER!!
2. Flash the Official & complete US 3.0.1 HWI69 ROM. Links here. Every time I tried to download the "does not require login" version from mediafire I got a corrupted zip, so instead I downloaded from the Motorola developer site (with instructions) here.
3. Once the 3.0.1 Rom was up and running, and I had an internet connection, I got the OTA notification for the 3.1 update and installed it. It took about 10 minutes to notify me once I had connection, probably because it had to download it before notifying me. After the install and reboot process, I had a stock 3.1 install, but still didn't have sdcard access. So, I kept going.
4. Install CWM 3.0.2.8 recovery, using the fastboot method. Instructions here.
Once CWM was installed and I had the ability to backup the rom, I immediately made a backup before EACH of the following steps was performed. I know it is overkill to make that many backups, but I wanted to be sure I wasn't going to screw up my device at any given step and have to start over again.
5. Root the 3.1 rom from here. After rooting I had sdcard access within honeycomb at /sdcard/external.
6. Installed Tiamat 1.4.2 kernel. Instructions here.
7. Installed the Language Pack from here, but when I rebooted the system it went into a loop on the purple animated honeycomb logo. So, I rebooted into recovery again, and did a "wipe data / factory reset" - this allowed my machine to reboot normally, but I had to reconfigure all my settings and reinstall all my apps.
So as of right now I'm on 3.1 HMJ37, rooted, with CWM recovery, Tiamat kernel, and have international languages! It's great!!
Mike.

Thanks for the detailed info... I flashed the complete US 3.0.1 ROM on my canadian xoom and got the 3.1 OTA update as well. So now my canadian wifi xoom is on US 3.1 !
I will not root it for now since i don't really need the external SDcard for now.

When you say Flash US 3.0.1 ...do you have steps to do that? I'm just wondering how to do it...since I don't have a functional SD Card I guess its not the flash update.zip method...
Can't wait to be running the US rom and not care for motorola Canada anymore!!!

Just saw that the steps to flash the rom are on moto website! Sorry!

How to flash
I've spent hours on this and I guess I must be stupid, but I can NOT figure out how to flash a ROM! I've tried the ADB commands, I've download the ROM manager, etc, etc, etc...I cannot find any instructions on how to do this! It must be very simple because every time I look for instructions, they always just say "flash the ROM" like it's nothing. But HOW???
Very frustrating...there appears to be no single place that outlines all the steps in one place - it takes a dozen web pages to do the simplest things...
I also want to update my Canadian ROM to a US ROM. I'm unlocked, I'm running Tiamat 1.3.0 but I don't know what to do now...?
It seems as though having an external micro SD card supported is a prerequisite, but I cannot figure out how to get that to work either. The frustrating part of all this is that I do (Windows) computer support - I'm not new to technology in any way, but I have seldom been more frustrated than this trying to find one set of clear instructions...!
HELP!
Thanks.

after flashing using the instructions on post number 7 with the HRI39 bin images and fastboot my tablet doesnt boot. it just sits at the motorla logo for ages and ages and ages...
do I maybe have to wait like an hour or something?

Converted my MZ604 Singapore version to US & OTA update to 3.1
I managed to reflash International images to US and OTA update to 3.1 using a mod microUSB cable. I didn't need to root my xoom to do it rather a hardwired method.

2. Flash the Official & complete US 3.0.1 HWI69 ROM. Links here. Every time I tried to download the "does not require login" version from mediafire I got a corrupted zip, so instead I downloaded from the Motorola developer site (with instructions) here.

Can you please elaborate on how we do this? How do we flash a ROM? I only know how to do it in CWM Recovery, but not elsewhere.

Ok, hook your xoom up to your computer and open up a command line. Then CD to your tools directory of the android sdk and input these commands.
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
And your good to go..... continue from the next step just be carefully to input the commands exactly, and for the love of Pete DONT UNPLUG your xoom while flashing

And do NOT relock!!

I will be attempting this in the next day or so but had a few newbie questions (coming over from the apple world):
1) For step two, the img files all come from HWI69.zip?
2) For step four, do I want to do it with CWM or without? Is there more risk to one vs. the other?
3) For step six, to boot into recovery mode, is the following sequence correct?
Turn your XOOM off
Press Power to turn your XOOM back on
When the Motorola Dual Core boot screen appears tap Volume Down repeatedly until "Android Recovery" is displayed
Press Volume Up to enter Recovery
Thanks,

1) Correct - also, I know I keep saying this, but on the Moto site instructions for flashing they tell you to relock. Don't!!
2) I used the fastboot method (without). Make sure to download the img and not the zip.
3) I tend to wait on the Moto logo for about 3 secs then just press down once. Then up once you get the recovery option. Never fails.
Good luck.

Great. Thanks for the quick response. One additional question. This procedure seems a fair bit shorter in length than this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073884
Is there a reason? Is there a place where I can read some sort of a beginner's guide to rooting so I can understand the steps I am going to be following better?
Thanks again.

Question : why shouldn't we "RE-LOCK EVER" ?
I ask because I've relocked mine after flashing Europe stock on my US Xoom (I [stupidly] did what I saw on motorola dev instructions...).

[Q] Returning to stock [i9020a]

I just wanted to make sure that I understood the process of returning my phone to stock before I make a mistake.
All I've done since I purchased the phone was root it and unlock the bootloader. I have not loaded any custom roms.
So If I understand this correctly I need to:
1) Flash the Stock Image (which should include the stock recovery?)
2) Use fastboot to lock the bootloader
The reason I'm wanting to return the phone to stock is to receive OTA updates. I never use any apps requiring root, and don't plan on loading any custom roms.
I never did find a 2.3.4 stock image for the I9020A..

you should actually be able to get ota updates no problem. it'll just remove root every time you update.
it's probably not a good idea to lock the bootloader though cause if you ever want to unlock it again in the future you'll have to wipe everything from your phone. your best bet is to just flash stock recovery so you can install the update
i'm pretty sure that works, but hopefully someone else can verify just so you don't get some bad information lol

I heard the same thing about OTA updates. If you're phone is rooted and you're using the original rom, you'll get the update but you'll have to root your phone once again.
I haven't tried this myself so I cannot verify it.
It's just the word on the street, you know!

you need stock everything, so stock kernel, rom, radio, etc... the op should be fine to update if they flash stock recovery though. rooting is simple from there

Didn't happen on mine (In fact im using a self rooted rom based on that exact stock zip) try doing a wipe in stock recovery.

after flashing that does it take it back to out of box condition?
reason i ask is because i bought a already rooted and unlocked one here from market place and i want to return it to stock firmware, radio, kernel and such to recieve OTA updates and what not.
your info is greatly appreciated

Using my zip yes... it flashes Bootloader, Radio, Boot, System and on first boot (and any other time recovery changes) Recovery is flashed. All you got to to is lock the bootloader and that wipes user data and usb storage.

hey man i appreciate you coming forward with a solution, ive yet to recieve the phone but wanted to prepare.
my goal is to flash everything back to stock and start completly over whereas i have no clue what method was originally used to root and unlock the bootloader.
when the time comes hope you dont mind a PM if i have any extra questions.

Just did the method using the stock ROM provided by kibmcz "thanks BTW!"
Phone is back to stock, working like it did when I first bought it. Had a little trouble with some Force Close issues but did a factory reset/data clear of the cache and all that before re-flashing, and it seems to be working Vanilla!

so, i just wanna make sure i have this right on how i can update to 4.0.4 and then proceed to root thereafter. at this point i would like to stay stock, but i will eventually flash one of the eos builds in the future. right now, i just need confirmation that im not missing anything
1. go here http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/ and download Build HWI69 for US Retail
2. flash these fastboot commands
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
3. then go here to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241
if im missing something please let me know! thanks guys!

Though the steps you state to do what you need to do is right, my question to you would be : why not download the stock rooted update from the development section and be done with it?

I haven't heard a claim like this in a long time, so my up most respect to you and keep it up because that is the way to learn.
I suffered from the same issues but my problem was that when I first rooted my stock image there was lots of things that i changed and the Motorola update needs though it doesn't require a locked bootloader it does require everything I'm the file system to be just the way it was when shipped. That made me find this install package and to it all the time this way, felt I was waisting time trying to revert all changes I've done.

[Q] Help Needed: Return to stock Honeycomb 4G LTE

First:
Hoping someone can provide some assistance. I would like to get back to stock ICS 4.0.4 on my Verizon Xoom 4G LTE since i am hoping that 4.1.1 will be released soon OTA. Does anyone have stock 4.0.4 download? With or without root is fine. Stock 3.X would be ok to. I just want to get back to stock.
Second: In case anyone has any ideas
I have several 4.0.4. Nandroids that will not restore for me in CWM. Very recently I did two things that I am wondering if might have caused part of the problem:
1) Upgraded to new CWM 6.0.1.9
2) Flashed a test 4.2 ROM
Thoughts?

I started with MZ602_HLK75D (trying to find where I downloaded from. If you can't find let me know and I will put it on drop box)
You will lose everything on you internal SD card so make sure to pull anything you want off your Xoom before you start. USB Debugging needs to be enabled as well
Extract the MZ602_HLK75D zip file so you have: boot.img, system.img, recovery.img, userdata.img and place these files in your SDK folder
Open a command prompt by SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK on your SDK FOLDER
Adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
After it reboots and you sign in etc it will check for upgrade and there will be a few Honeycomb upgrades before you get back up to 4.0.4 (locked and w/out root & w/out CWM but you can just redo that part too)

I cannot find the file MZ602_HLK75D.zip. Could you provide a link? Thanks.

Let me know if this works:

thank you for sharing. Wish I had this several months ago. Took my hours to find a live link so I could download the file.

Thanks for the files and instructions. Not planning to return to stock anytime soon but these are good to have just in case.
