Hello,
Just got my hands on a Wifi Xoom mz604. I have rooted my HTC desire and am running a modified version of LeeDroid but this Xoom seems a bit more complicated. I can't find anything that specifically says it's for the AU Wifi version.
Can anyone help me?
Sorry, it's on 3.1.

Well, WiFi only Xooms have the exact same hardware, no matter their country of origin. I know there are threads (in back pages by now) for rooting the AU Xoom, but they may have referred to the 3G models. Did you check the Rooting Heaven thread in the General section?
hi, thanks for the reply. Ended up figuring it all out, now running the us 3.2 rom and have clock work recovery.

Hi,
Got my xoom about 2 days ago and looking to put the team eos nightly ics rom on it,
However, I dont know what model my xoom is, The box does not really help. And the model number in settings just shows "xoom"
The xoom was bought brand new from America (Im in Australia) and it is the WIFI only version
Also i was wondering the easiest way to root the device?
Thanks

The Wifi only is MZ604 or sometimes referred to as Wingray. Here is a link to rooting:

And here is a link to unlocking and flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11598889
Thanks for that, Ive just got to sort out how to set up adb, No idea on it..
the way it seems, The Xoom is much harder to root & install custom roms on than the Optimus 3d, SGS and the SGS2
Ok so im following this guide,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798
and have installed drivers and adb and all that stuff,
When i double click on fastboot, It pops up for about a second then goes away?
Not exactly sure what to do
Edit: Nevermind got it
Hi,
I just recently bought a xoom and ive been looking around the forums for a while now seeing what is here and that. I have a EU XOOM Wifi only, and i have read on certain tutorials that most of the rooting methods only work for the US models? Are there any ways to root the EU Wifi only model?
Thanks Ravens97

Hey man, I have an EU wifi only model and it's totally fine to use the method in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477024
The thing to be careful with about the EU wifi model is that some of the roms in the android development section (only the stock ICS and some Honeycomb roms) are US wifi only. It'll be clearly stated! All other MZ604 (which are the wifi only models) roms are fine to flash! CM9, EOS, AOKP, I've flashed them all on my EU wifi only model.
Hope this is of use
Thanks, im just currently going through the process of backing up the data i have now. Will let you know how i get on.
Edit:
Cheers mate. Rooting went well! Just flashed EOS 2.0, all working well

In a word, don't try. Have a look at this thread which will help you turn your Canadian Wifi Xoom into the US based Google Experience Device (GED) which will be MUCH easier to work with. I did it months ago, and I haven't looked back.

Trying to figure out how to install CyanogenMod on my Xoom MZ600 (ICS Verizon OTA Upgraded) tablet. I searched several links on xda-forums which seem to apply to the xoom2 and xyboard which I (don't think) I have. I also found "Rooting WiFi xoom" on xda-forums but when I got there, it talks about and update for model MZ604 and my UPC sticker says "MZ600". I searched for rooting mz600 in the xda Xoom forum, and found "OUTDATED" guide. I then checked out the CM wiki which gives instructions for installing CM for "Wingray" but I'm not sure if Wingray is "Xoom" or "Xoom2" -- it only says Wi-Fi which presumably, the Xoom2 also has? Gaaahh!. Where is the correct place to go to find correct info for rooting my mz600 with ICS Verizon OTA update? ICS is way to slow for me and turned tablet into useless. I want to put on CM9 or CM7 on it. Thanks!
Hi,
I think you can try giving a look at our device FAQ It may answer lots of your questions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145522
Hey,
I followed the FAQ yesterday and was able to root and flash my Xoom(MZ602) with success! I used the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088705 JB MR1 4.2 Stingray MZ604 Verizon 4G LTE. I would recommend it if you have a 4g Xoom as opposed to the Wingray because, if I am not mistaken, Wingray is for the WiFi only Xoom...someone with more experience might be able to verify.
Whatever you go with be sure you backup before you flash the ROM, it is never a bad idea to backup!
Good luck you won't regret it!

Hi all,
Dont know if anyone is still reading this forum. But i have a huge problem. I have a EU Xoom with 3G capability, MZ601 is the model number.
Now, the problem for me is that it is unrooted and i can not get apps running on it. It has 4.0.4 currently on it. I know that it is possible to get JB running on the tablet, but can not find any active links to download a build.Thanks to anyone who will respond.
