[Q] Will there every be a one-click root for Xoom? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering because it's a pain for me to get to a computer and download the stuff I need. My computer caught fire and I have to get another and I don't like asking people to use their laptops so I can download things.

You need a pc to run the fastboot commands...don't see if ever happening.

What do you mean? There is a one-click method for the Evo. I understand I'd need a pc but if I can download one file and do a one click unlock and root it would be awesome. One file to complete the whole process. It wouldn't be a pain to borrow a laptop from someone to download one thing.
If I root now I have to download SDK, this & that. I moved so I don't live that close to my friends. I only have an iPad and Xoom as my source of internet.

I think for a one click we would need the source code to honeycomb

Personally I wouldn't want to one click the xoom, I learned a lot about the xoom while trying to root it and I now feel comfortable tinkering with it as a result. I wanted one click with my cell but at 600 bucks I want to know what makes the xoom tick and be knowledgeable enough to restore it if I need to. The root methods available now aren't difficult at all.

This is for 3.0, but it's one-click unlock, root, unroot, and relock.

Its relativly easy to make a one click mthod and the old one just needs the rigt images put in the right place, all the commands are the same.

I must have read it wrong then, i thought you were having problems getting a computer. The way i read it, you were looking for a one-click method to run from your xoom. Sorry, if i would have read it right, i would have answer correctly. There is currently no way to one click root 3.1. In all honesty i hope one never comes. I understand your problem, but people need to learn to do things. One clicks are the reason we have 762 threads that start with "bricked".

I completely agree. Rooting teaches people how to use fastboot and adb correctly, good things to know.

There is no working one click method for rooting the Xoom, but if you can follow instructions and take the time and care to prepare, you can do it pretty easily. For everything you probably need, go to the Xoom Heaven thread in General: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209341
And in particular, you could use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798
Take your time and don't worry too much...the Xoom is very hard to brick. Print the instructions.
Practice booting into recovery and using the volume buttons for navigation.
Good luck!

I can vouch for okantomi, he helped me through rooting my Xoom. I was pretty hesitant to take the plunge, but if you take your time and follow guides letter for letter you should not have a problem. There are lots of people willing to help out if you do run into issues.

The hardest part is actually setting up your pc for adb. Once you have downloaded all of the drivers, and the android sdk and the java jdk, etc...and make sure you have your fastboot and CWM recovery image files in your platform tools (or tools) folder, you just need to connect your Xoom and follow the steps. Don't worry, you'll get it.
On edit: you could try the much quicker adb setup linked to in this post. Please note that I haven't tried it myself.

Really OP, as long as you follow directions and know a bit about computers, you'll have *zero* problems. It feels so good to successfully root a device for the first time, too. Totally worth it, promise.

Rooting MT4G In 3 Minutes!

Months ago I had so many problems rooting my MT4G. Recently, I decided to load the stock rom on my phone, just to root it all over again. I was able to do it in about 3 minutes! Here we go...
The following prerequisites can be found by searching/googling the forums.
1.) need VisionARY r14 .apk file
2.) need MyTouchRootingFiles (zip containing hboot_dhd.nb0, root.sh, and wpx.ko)
3.) download and install Android Terminal Emulator from Android Market
Ok, now that we got that out of the way, here are the instructions.
1.) Install VisionARY to your phone
2.) Unzip the MyTouchRootingFiles file to your computer, then copy the unzipped folder called ROOT to the root of your sdcard using usb cable
3.) While phone is NOT connected to computer, start VisionARY. Press the TEMP ROOT option to gain temporary root access. Exit VisionARY.
4.) Start Terminal Emulator and type the following, hitting enter after each line
SU
CD /SDCARD/ROOT
SH ROOT.SH​5.) After rebooting, start VisionARY again, and gain TEMP ROOT once again
6.) Wait a few minutes (this is very important, don't rush), then press ATTEMPT PERM ROOT, your phone will reboot
7.) After rebooting, start Terminal Emulator and simply type SU. If you get the "#", you have rooted your phone!
Now you can explore the Android world by installing custom roms created by the community. You may want to research how to backup your device before starting to flash roms.
Good luck!
This will only work if you have the good eMMC chip set W/ 2.2.x. And it's a pretty well known method of rooting phones. Heck i have this method in my signature from when i posted the same thing months ago.
You do know this method only works for froyo 2.2. Now a days mostly everyone is on gingerbread 2.3. Gingerbread bread updated device is more complex to root. It requires you to downgrade then root.
When I started rooting mt4g's this is the method I used and it took me about 3 to 5 minutes as well. This is also without using a pc. Everything done from the device. Its not as easy now though.

Yup, I'm aware. But anytime you get a MT4G from Tmo, it's still coming with 2.2... My instructions were basically for people that have had their Mt4g, but were afraid to root...

Search the forums on how to check your eMMC chip. (I'd post the link, but i'm on my way to work & don't have it off hand. If you really can't find it, PM me & I'll find it.) Long story short, this method may not work, depending on the type of eMMC in your phone. You will
need to root via the gfree method, also available in the xda forums. Mackster248 has a great tutorial on YouTube.

Hey no problem. The android community is about knowledge-fully (if that's even a word) helping each other. And i know we all have to start somewhere.

Use NVFlash to flash CWM. That's all you really need.
And you're probably gonna get bashed for posting in this section, so just make sure you don't do it again.

I'm already rooted! Your misunderstanding my question. I wanna know what local exploit the devs use when writing the rooting software. Is it a buffer overflow? Stack based? Heap based? Integer overflow? What program or process is exploited? I just want tobknow just in case ibwanna have a crack at writing one. Also, I figured this post should go here cuz it is a question for developers not general users.

I don't believe that there is an 'exploit' the lack of root on stock is one thing, root on a custom ROM just is, no security to protect some precious stock ROM with it's 'super secret special' crap. Otherwise unless one of the devs here has compiled a ROM straight from Google source, as opposed to CM source, they are a better authority. And if I wasn't clear enough, this is my opinion, something I am welcome to as a living breathing person, if you don't like what I say and want to try it, try it, see how far you get.

first off, mt3g is right, this does not belong in development. just read the sticky at the top if you need a reference.
second, i think rageaginstthecage was not working on the gb 2.3.3 IIRC, and i think it was always just put into roms (even stock-ish ones) outside of the phone. (im most likely horribly wrong here, i never really looked into how root is accomplished)
either way, that link you posted pretty much answers your question

The root zip just contains the necessary files that allow access to /system and any root functions. No exploit. CWM is basically another OS that is meant to modify the primary OS directly.

I know the zip contains the necessarry files. That's obvious lol I'm not asking about CWM. I already know what it is, how it works, what it does. But I am pretty sure there is an exploit! How else is the program going to bypass the security precautions the system uses to prevent the user from accessing the system in the first place. I figured it was the same as a local privilege escalation on a Linux box.
But if rat in the cage doesn't work for GB. Then my question would be what exploit are the devs using when they write the root zip?

Nope, no exploit. Basically all the zip does is add the files required to switch users. The security is simply lack of binaries required to switch to root user.

When you or anyone else does it, the flamethrowers come out and we get another 50 posts of wannabe tough guys talking ****.

Root account is there, just inaccessible normally. If you make a Linux box login to a regular user by default and remove su and sudo, you cannot really access the root account. The zip adds su back. Cwm is an external os that has full access to the all parts of the Android os, allowing for this to be placed in the $PATH. (/system/bin).
The exploit methods find ways to become root (glitch in graphics card driver on sensation) and place the binaries.

And there's one more link to a script but I cant find it right now.
Like Drob said, to be able to get full s-off you'll have to downgrade your Hboot using one of the above mentioned methods. Or you could upgrade to 2.3.4 and use HTC's half ass unlock tool.

I guess technically you dont have to use sdk/adb.. Im sure you could use terminal to temp root and push the misc.img, then use ShiftRR (an automated root for 2.2.) once you have ruu'ed.

Yes, but in the long run it's going to be better to have all that ISH set up anyway .
Just a question and please dont take it the wrong way, but how does one plan on working on deving/porting miui or anything for that matter without the sdk/adb? I feel it is VERY important to have adb setup.

Let me know if you have any issues with the bootloader, I've been messing around with it a bit.

There's no need to use the unlock bootloader thing from htc, Indirect (over in the dev section) has a root method for 2.3.4 (if you choose to update to 2.3.4 anyway) that doesnt involve using the unlock tools

Well if your taking it to Sprint. Upgrading it to 2.3.4 is probably one of the first things they'll do. Before they even trouble shoot it . if you end up keeping the device, and they upgrade it. you can use the method suggested above. The link is below.

i took it to sprint they didn't give me a new phone sigh... and they did some stupid test whitch i know i could have done myself being a hacker and all.. i noticed phone freezing lagging like crazy my epic at the time was wonderful.. but they didn't upgrade firmware at all.. so i guess how would i upgrade to 3.4 ??
Setting>system updates> firmware update.. rooting does solve all the problems that the phone has
