can you root a us wifi xoom running 4.0.4?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I have seen a similar request about the same before, I remember that the way to do it is to install superuser apk into your xoom to have root access.
or superSU.apk
Will check how and get back to you.
I don't think just installing a apk of
Superuser can get u root access

My bad. I meant superuser package flashable zip
1) get recovery and install it via adb.
2) thru recovery. Flash superuser from here. http://www.4shared.com/zip/g3yzbrIa/su-install.html?cau2=403tNull

How do I install a zip through adb?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
I would rather install it through Recovery...
Recovery image through ADB.
Superuser ZIP through Recovery.
Or, use this step by step: it guides you thru the entire process.

I have no idea what happened I ran the new revolutionary tool on my wife's evo. The phone when I go to the bootloader screen it says revolutionary 2.15 hboot ect. S-off. I tried running terminal but it says access denied. When I ran the tool it went through but I forgot to flash the recovery. What do I do can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks

Is your superuser working? From what I understand using the terminal requires you to use su key (superuser)
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Finish the steps provided with revolutionary, flash recovery, then either flash a custom rom or the Su files.
No I tried putting su in and it said access denied.

If it is S-Off then get AmonRa as a PC36IMG.zip and flash recovery through the bootloader. Check my signature for a link. Directions in the OP.
Then flash a rooted ROM, stock or whichever ROM you want. Or else I think that you can flash a Superuser.zip in recovery mode. I have never done so, because I like flashing ROMs and kernels

So download that and rename it then flash and then i can flash over any rom right
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
When you download the PC36IMG.zip from Amon_RA it will downlaod as PC36IMG.zip. So you don't have to rename it. Keep it on the root of your sd card and go into your bootloader and let it scan for the zip. When asked to update select yes and when it ask to reboot just select no. Go into your new recovery and flash a rom or you can flash the superuser from the recovery. That last part is up to you.
I think I got it.

Hey I just want to root not use a Custom Rom. Is this possible? I am on JB 4.1.1 If its not possible what is the easiest and best way to get root and still be able to use my keyboard dock.

The above thread should help. You don't have to install a custom ROM if you don't want to
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
That thread is the key, that's what I did hours earlier.
Basically:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Install TWRP recovery
3. Flash root files using TWRP
4. Instal supersu
5. Tada!
I would also recommend browser2ram after you have rooted.

You don't have to do a permanent install of CWM. Download CWM for your device from clockworkmod.com/rommanager, install zip thorough stock recovery and CWM will replace the stock recovery temporarily. When you reboot your device, you should have your stock recovery back.
First of all I am new to all of this, but I recently flashed turge's new sense 5 stock Rom. The Rom is nice but I want to go back to my old cleanrom 6.5. But now it seems my phone is not rooted. I can get into bootloader and it still says 'unlocked' but I can't get my computer to recognize my phone via fastboot usb.
You can just install root, I'm on the same ROM and rooting it was easy. Download Superuser from Play Store, open it, it'll prompt you to update binaries, choose TWRP/CWM method. It'll do the rest for you.

I tried that but superuser gives me a prompt about the binaries and that 'this is a problem'. I did not check the md5, the Rom seems to be working well but eventually I would want to get back on a rooted Rom but like I said in another post, I'm not sure how i lost access to fastboot usb. Thanks for the help.

I'll try this, but how could I regain fastboot usb in order to go back to a rooted Rom.
You probably just need to sort your drivers out.

Hi. Forgive me if I am in the wrong section. I want to door my Rogers one x. I went to the Rogers one x compilation and could not find the right one. My firmware is 3.17.631.2. Can I use the root method listed for 3.18? I do not want to mess things up. I previously used Hassoons toolkit to unlock the boot loader. Now when I use it to install tarp, I do not think it recognizes my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Think you.

All you need to do is go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader there, then you can flash TWRP 2.6, and flash a custom ROM, smooth sailing!

I had downloaded a twrp zip file and unzipped it as well as an SU file. From there I am unsure how to flash them onto my phone. I did plug my phone into my PC and tried to locate the internal SD but could not. If you could give me any clearer directions, that would be great. Thank you.

Well, I went to Team Win's website and downloaded TWRP and Goo Manager. I now have tampered status and have installed twrp through GooManager but have yet to find it on my device. Sometimes it is a struggle.

I know you were able to install TWRP using Goo Manager. But the proper way to install using your PC, would be using fastboot, with the command:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
Where "filename" is the actual name of the recovery .img file.
Another thing to note, you don't need to unzip the recovery zip file.
