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

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 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!

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:

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

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.
