New to Xoom. Need help with rooting and such.

I just got my wifi only Xoom today. I also have a Motorola Atrix, which is rooted and running a custom rom. I was reading on here about rooting and kernels and other things and I didn't understand it. Can someone please help me understand the differences between the Xoom tablet and an android phone. Thanks

They are practically the same, but methods for rooting devices change per device. The Xoom requires a little extra work.
Do you have the JDK and Android Development Kit installed on your PC?
Are you comfortable with command lines?
Can you afford to purchase another Xoom if you brick this one?

Well I've had it rooted now for a week and today I went to the app and there was an update and the update failed and now superuser doesn't work and now I pretty much don't have root access. Please can anyone help.

Just bought the TF101 what root method, cwm, and Rom would you recommended?

Im sorry if you get this alot but I'm very confused on all your development posting on how to root my Asus TF101 build # 8.6.5.9 Android - 3.2
I was about to do BRKS root tool kit but I'm not sure I'm not new to rooting having a Droid incredible, atrix, and LG Thrill .. but honey comb and being a tablet I feel uncomfortable with just going to town on rooting.
My main reason is o.c'ing my kernel and I really want this to feel faster my phone beats my transformer with ease.. I'd like to play some game that ive bought on other devices. Why is my fav game modern combat 2 on Acer a500 but isn't on this or the thrive..?
So if y'all could help brother out with my questions I would love to do this asap

First thing you need to find out is what the serial number is. If it's below B70, then you can root it, if it's B70 you may be able to root it, if it's B80 or up, presently you can't root it.

It says S/N B60*******
Is this a good thing?

What would you recommended rooting method and Rom for first timer I'm going to wait to root till I get some good answer like I mentioned before I'm not gonna just dive right into it till i have more time for research ect.

Umm, honestly, I think the most straightforward one is the linux universal root. I used it for my b5, and it worked exactly as it should.

I tried it won't let me go to a desktop I've tried the Ubuntu w/script method but couldn't get it to boot past showing me the thinking mouse pointer
So I will try the other way I see a YouTube video on rooting the 3.2 and below so.. i shall see when I do it tomorrow
Thanks for the imput

Even if I updated to 3.2 I'm having a problem I put it into apx mode then it gets stuck saying phone update success but the app on the pc freezes..

use nvflash together with prime 1.4 rom it worked for me when i failed to root and wont boot at all...

Brks worked thanks I've tried all the 3 popular(stable) roms and liked revolver alot but wifi would take some times 5minutes to load so I'm on prime 1.9 and like it alot!

brk worked for me.

Yea it worked good I used an older version he has worked very hard on a new program for windows but unfortunately it did not work with my pc but his older bluescreen script did and I like my tf101 I just wish gameloft made games for it since it basicly the same thing as iconia a500.. I have all game bought just no way to play them..

DRM effing up your gameplay... gotta love it...

Yea it is and I've been in love with android but I'm seeing it becoming more n more strict as it gets older like its nasty counter part apple..

I have used the method on the thread below to root then unroot...install latest version of 3.2 and then to re-root again using the bootable CD method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198303
If I had been on a custom rom I might have had a different experience..then again maybe not.
I don't use one and not interested in overclocking ...maybe later as it gets older but my phone never showed much difference by doing so..... perception. If I played a lot of games my perception might be different.

What is an OMAP4430 Driver and what are its functions?

I was nervous to post this but then again, better to at least ask and to know than to let fear keep me in the dark (so to speak). So, the thing is this. i am trying to root my samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 wifi only which is 4.1.1 (GT-P3113) UECLK7 but i stumbled on a problem. Yes, huge thanks to Mr. Chainfire for giving us CF-Auto_Root, but when i put my tab in download mode, there was no blue status bar showing any progress, but it ended up saying
1. that i dont have OMAP4430 Driver installed and
2. that i dont have samsung usb driver installed.
i dont understand why and was wondering if anyone could please tell me how to fix this? and where can i find this OMAP4430 driver and samsung usb driver too? ive searced through google so much looking for this OMAP4430 driver till my eyes started burning. i really would appreciate the help. sincerely.

Hi, I am having the same problem with a Samsung Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3110 (wi-fi only). Could you please let me know where you were able to find the right driver?

Same, I can't get it to connect.

Install Samsung Kies, which will install the drivers for you. Then you can uninstall Kies unless you think you'll use it.

Sorry if i seem a bit curious but what was it after all, because you didn't cleared that up and what was it that it dose in the Android OS?! I ask this because i recently switched to Android 4.1 on tablet.Also why do you need to root a Samsung Tab? I know they have enough internal memory and if not an SD card will solve it.

Except if you want to use the external for apps one would need to be rooted. It is also good for using bloatware blockers and many other apps which require root access. It gives one more control over his/her device. Which is most of the fun of having an android device, IMO.

True, on a rooted device you can install non-market apps and if you have enough knowledge in Android modding and courage you can put more customized ROM-s.
The drawback : loose the client warantee from the producer.

how did you manage to root this tablet... I'm stuck in a bootloop, so first I need to go to recovery mode (which I cannot find)... Can I put firmware on SD card and install OS again to fix this?
