Hello,
I am very confused as to whether or not it is possible to go from my rooted US Xoom Wifi only running rooted stock 3.1 directly to the Manta Ray rom, or do I go to stock rooted 3.2 first? Whatever the case, could someone link me to the correct procedure? I cannot find something that matches my exact setup, and the Rom's thread is unclear whether I have to update first. Yes, I know, this is probably a noob question, but I am pretty new to rooting in general.
Does anyone how to do this?

Since you're rooted your bootloader is already unlocked
Just flash CWM 3.2.0.0 RC4
Wipe from CWM
Load Tiamat.
It should be that easy.
Ok, so the manta ray package is the whole system image for 3.2? Will it work essentially like an update?
EDIT: Also, just for clarification, I use wipe data/factory reset, and then put the rom on a microSD, then flashing it by doing what, exactly?

If you're downloading the Team Tiamat Mantay Ray 2.0.1 ROM - Yes, it includes everything.
You will boot into CWM recovery 3.2.0.0 RC4, do you have that installed? If not, please flash it first.
Then you flash the rom from CWM itself, after booting into CWM. Have the rom zip package on the flash card.
If you need more explicit instructions, they can be pieced together from the CWM thread and the Tiamat rom thread
Alright, got CWM 3.2.0.0 RC4 installed, now, for the part that scares me..Im gonna flash the Tiamat img now.

You will have to wipe but beyond that it's pretty simple, download the current rom zip put it on your sd card and boot into CWM to flash it.
If you're not on CWM 3.2.0.0 RC4 then flash that first.

Could you give me link to current ROM?
I think i have to install 3.2 before i installed the new rom.

Go to the development subforum, and click the tiamat / mantaray rom thread. Since it's a complete rom, everything you need is in the one .zip. You will boot into CWM, do a system wipe, then install that zip. You'll then reboot, and rejoice at the puddle of pee in your pants as you are now running 3.2 tiamat rooted and all that goodness.
Specifically; go here:

Before I flash a custom ROM onto my untouched Xoom UK Wi-Fi only how do I backup its current state? At the moment it is on stock 3.1.
How do I flash a custom recovery such as CWM Rogue Recovery v1.1.1 or ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0? Can I just install clockworkmod from the market and flash it from there or does it have to be flashed via fastboot?
Which is the best 3.2 ROM at the moment which has overclocking enabled?
P.S. I've already read many threads and have an idea what to do next but I just want to make sure before I do anything!
Thanks!

By the way, I really love the configuration in my signature. I love everything that Team Tiamat has done, to date. And they are terrific, helpful guys. The Team Rogue are great too, just going in a little different direction, but their kernel works with the Tiamat Rom, in otherwords, they all cooperate and we win.
first of all, english is not my language, sorry if i messed some words
hello there, people.
i was running [ROM][ICS 4.0.4][NTFS][3G] Megatron (CM9 based) [v1.0.4] (Cornerstone Available)
and then i tried [ROM] Android Revolution HD 3.2.2 | High Quality & Performance | ICS | 9.2.2.3
i used the "wipe" scripts that are on the Revolution HD tutorial, and then i got bored on that ROM. and i returned back to Megatron, everything worked fine, i wiped data, dalvik, and everything worked just fine, i used guevor test18d, it was the best ROM i had, but then i saw [ROM] Revolver 4 by Gnufabio | 4.0.2 RC2 | ICS | May 06 | FaceUnlock | APM, and i tried to get this new ROm to work on my TF101, i wide data(factory reset), dalvik, format data, and i got the error sayingm can't mount data, can't format data, error mounting data/media... and then i tried to flash on REVOLVER new ROM, but it freezes on the language settings and input method setting, so i decided to get back to megatron, but it didn't work, so the only ROM that worked just fine was REVOLUTION HD, but i really want to get Revolver Working on my TF101, but is it safe to flash onto Revolver again?? where did that error come from???
btw, i'm rooted via RAZORCLAW and i got [Recovery] Rogue XM Recovery v1.3.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7)...
can you people help me flashing to revolver?

I got errors similar to that when wiping, but I couldn't flash anything else after.
I had to resort to nvflash, not knowing if I had an "unbrickable" model or not...turns out, I do.

Well if you want to be a brave soul and try it again, then go right ahead lol.
Maybe you should redownload it and check the MD5. I read in the thread where someone downloaded it 3 times and had a different file size for each download.
Try flashing a stock rom first then rooting/cmw + Revolver RC2 afterwards.

You do know you can use Razorclaw if you're on honeycomb right?
I rooted mine both times w/ razorclaw. The first time I did it, I had to OTA it once to a later HC update, then downgrade. Not sure how that worked out, but it did.

Sounds like your recovery got corrupted, try reflashimg whatever recovery you are using and see if it works then.

You say you successfully used NVFlash.
So just NVFLash this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558170
Now use ViperMod (Option 1) to root
Use OTA Rootkeeper to save your su file
Let it OTA to .21 firmware, use OTA Rootkeeper to restore your root
I downgraded from .21 to .19 to use razorclaw.
I found how here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417006
Took me awhile to figure it out though

Haha, when I got my tab like 2 weeks ago, I was determined to root it that way cause I was still on HC and it just seems the easiest and the most convenient way to do it.

Nvflashing the ics rom, and vipermodding it later was an easy cake!! took me like 6 mins to get it nvflashed and rooted
btw, do you know if a 3g dongle can work on the Revolver RC2?
and what's the best recovery i should get on my tf101?
Hi all, I decided I'd return my tf101 to ASUS stock firmware from TeamEos 4.2. So I duly flashed the f/w and all seemed to take OK, until I rebooted, the tf got stuck at the Android is updating stage, I tried reflashing everything but no good. This is not a request for help but more of a WTF. I have it working now thanks to NVFlash but I would like to understand why my first effort didn't work.
What recovery were you using?
What I did was flash the Asus stock *blob* using dd from a terminal running under TeamEos

Well, that is the hard way.
After doing that you would need to take the Asus firmware zip and put it on a microSD and boot to stock recovery and it should install it.
When I flashed back to stock, first time (using Roach2010's 3.X.X.X CWM) I just installed the Asus Firmware zip from CWM. Worked perfectly. Second time, did the same thing using TWRP 2.3.2.3 and once again, worked perfectly.
