Hi! I am thinking of buying Xoom wifi and it would be a canadian model.
When I want to update, can I use the US model roms to update the xoom or no? For example, would love to update the xoom to 3.2.2 and then root it.
Thanks!
Yes, it's the exact same model. There's a few guides around to tell you how to do this.
Followed the guides on the forums here for my cdn xoom been running us rom for 3 months now and very happy!

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,
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.

Hi how are u all,iwant to buy Motorola XOOM MZ601 but iread in gsm arena that it's not upgradable to JB 4.2 so i want your advise is this aproblem?if yes is there a solution
many thanks and wating your reply
Yes you're right, but if you want to try you can use team eos 4 custom rom... there are the nightlies version but it still full of bugs, and the thread isn't created yet maybe teameos still working on it. You can use the team eos 3 jelly bean 4.1 (stable)

If you can buy a newer one then go for that... 4.2 you can run but getting 3G is not something we can promise. I myself have MZ601 and I am using a custom ROM that is meant for MZ604 and hence I do not have 3G.
There will be no further development for this, so you might as well look for newer tabs if you want latest build, else you can definitely buy one

few things
1 - xoom is 2 years old, and will no longer receive official updates. all updates from now on will be through custom roms brought to us by wonderful developers like Team EOS and Team Rogue.
2 - there is still good support, just check out this forum. lots of stickies on what you need to know. use the search function and you should find everything you need.
3 - yes. my current xoom mz601 is running 4.2.1 thanks to the developers mentioned above. since it is from the US and currently i am also in egypt, i have to 3g service, so i just flash the wifi only roms. Search the forums, there are plenty of guides on rooting and flashing custom roms.
The Motorola Xoom is bound to receive it's final update in Jellybean 4.1 or 4.2 beyond that it's doubtful that Motorola will update. Unless they are not releasing another table this year.
you can check here: https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c
US xooms will get 4.1 and thats it.
Yup. I read bout it yesterday. It seemed to slip under my radar. Guess it's time to unlock and root to get updates. That's the beauty of android. Always an alternative.
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!
