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.

Hey everyone!
I just got a motorola xoom in Canada. I just found out that the 3.1 update is not out for Canada yet
Is there anywhere I could get it onto my xoom? Help would be appreciated.
thanks!
If you have a wifi only xoom you can flash the US stock images and update to 3.2. Take a look in the dev section. You will find what your looking for. Make sure you read everything before you do anything. Good luck.

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, I am new to this forum and just got my blaze 3 weeks ago. I know the phone is kind of old but I like it. Any way when I get a new phone the first thing I do is root it and get rid of the bloatware, but after 3 weeks searching and following 2 tuts from other sources I managed to softbrick my phone. All is good there and I managed to un-brick the phone both times. My question here, is there any tuts out there that can help me root my phone? I will post the specs below and hopefully someone can direct me to the right info.
Any help is greatly appreciated and If I missed sonething I apologise as I am in the U.S Army and usually very busy. Thanks guys!
T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4g
Current firmware: 4.0.4 (ICS I believe)-OTA updated accidently
The phone came pre-loaded with 4.0.3...I don't know why
Current baseband: T769UVMB1

First, you should never look at "other sources". XDA is the best and you should have started here
Second, wrong thread. Questions belong in the General section.
Third, if you look there is a [GUIDE][ICS]How to root stock just a few posts down.
Lastly, this phone has never been on 4.0.3 lol. There was a recent baseband update to UVMB1 but it is still 4.0.4 just as UVLH5 was 4.0.4.
Hope that helps

Hey guys i need a little bit of help. Im trying to root my HTC one from Verizon but cant seem to find where and how to do it. I have searched thru Google, YouTube, multiple android forums but they all seem to come to a dead end because of the bootloader. Im not new to android and rooting but i have been away for a couple of years. I have been on an iphone. i had a droid x, and Razr and i rooted both and had custom roms installed so i think i can still do it if possible. Anyways can someone give me a link to the latest method and some easy to follow directions of how to do it if possible. Sorry if this has been covered before and thanks in advance.
