I can't find any thread that points to rooting droid xyboard 10.1 verizon 4g LTE model with ics update. I have the verizon xyboard 10.1 mx617 32 gb version in 4G LTE . I just got an ICS update but I don't see any info in rooting the device. if such method exists, please point me to the right direction.
Thanks in advance
Please post questions in the Q&A section. Thanks!
Thread moved.
I guess either no one wants to help me or no root option is available for this device on ICS at the moment.

if you still need direction...
I used the DroidRazrUtility (from Rosenberg I believe) one click today...was on ICS leak, flashed back to HC (donated to runandhide05 for the fast-boot files) and used Rosenberg's Utility to root, Version 1.80. You can find the fast-boot files in Xoom General here in XDA (if you need them). I Googled Roseberg's Utility, extracted, ran the .bat....rest is history.
i hope this helps you.

edit: sorry, after i flashed back to HC i updated my XYB to ICS from Motorola...THEN used the Utility...
thanks but it sounds complicated and risky to go back to HC and then root and then reflash to ics. I want a simple ICS root. but thanks, you are the only member who took interest in my thread.

I am so grateful for this site and for people like you. I have wanted to root the xyboard MZ 617 for a long time now. However, I cannot find a reliable method and am very new to rooting. I have been an avid android believer since the first itteration, but have never ventured into the wonderful world of rooting. I have done a lot of research and like that you use Rosenbergs method because he seems like one of the most respected devs out there. What I need, if you please, is a simplified breakdown of EXACTLY what I will need to do in order to root this device. It has been running ICS for a while. I have had a ton of glitches and hardware/software issues. Some of which were repaired by Motorola and the rest Verizon and Moto have pointed the finger at each other and the middle finger at me. I will be quite grateful for your help. Thank you

First of all, I would like to thank in advance the guys who answer my questions.
1)I ve read some threads about Xoom and I see most of you are in 3.2 and in Europe we don't have even 3.1 . How can I make it to be a US version to get the updates? Is it safe or should I wait?
2)My first priority is to find a way to root my device. I saw a one-click root way but the files are offline from xda and it says that it has issues with EUR versions. Whats your advice? Can you help me with the steps because I dont have much android knowledge?
3)Whats your opinion about custom roms for Xoom and how can I flash from 3.01?
Thanks again, and if you have any suggestions on what apps you love using in your xoom it would be great
Apps go the apps section and read.
Changing to us version and flashing roms etc go to the development section and read.
You clearly don't like to chat m8, If I found a topic for EUR but the links are offline as I said before. There are people who like to share their knowledge thats why its a q/a thread and not app section or dev section.

Hi there, welcome to the Xoom family.
Like every family, some members like to talk and others don't.
It's true that the threads you want are mostly in the Development section.
Since you are on Wifi only it should be pretty easy for you to flash the US wifi image (you will actually find that in the 1st post in General) but you should read a bit just to make sure you know what steps to take. Also, language packs are available if you need a language other than English, French or Spanish, but there may be some complications.
I would advise you against using any type of one click rooting method. The Xoom is easy to unlock and root, but is more complicated than many phones. On the plus side, it's pretty hard to brick as long as you follow instructions. Prepare to use adb and you'll do fine. Once you've unlocked and flashed the US image, you will get the OTA updates as soon as you are on a wifi connection. This is where you need to see which rooting method will be best for you. You will need to install the Tiamat Clockwork Mod Recovery 3.2.0.0 (from solarnz's thread) so you can flash from the micro sdcard) There are ways to root from 3.0, 3.1 and from 3.2. Head over to the Development section and look for what you want. Once you are rooted, check out the Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.0 Manta Ray. It really rocks. You will have to wipe user data for many of these steps, so don't bother with setting up more than you have to until you are at you final destination, so to speak.
Good luck!
I recently got a XOOM (U.S. WIFI-only) in July. It came shipped with 3.0.1
Within a day, it got updated to 3.1
and within about a week it went to 3.2
I wish to root my XOOM and eventually put on TIAMAT 2.1
When I go to the XDA forum it seems I need to get to "stock" 3.1 first.
I am guessing that this means I need to do a factory reset on my XOOM
to get back to 3.0.1 then do the update to 3.1
Once I am able to do this I should be able to follow their instructions
and root my device. Is this correct?
On a related matter, if someone were to purchase a XOOM now and it came
with 3.2, would they be unable to root the device?
Thanks.

Hey there! No need to go to downgrade or anything any longer if you would like to root. Team Tiamat themselves have released a universal rooting tool that will root any Xoom regardless of the country it came from, model, or Honeycomb version. It can be found here.
Also: You might want to check out my Xoom Heaven thread after you are rooted. It would be perfect for a new Xoom rooter. You can find the link in my sig below, or by going here.
Good luck!
Can you get Tiamat 2.1 when you have stock 3.2? Or does the stock ROM not matter at all since it's getting replaced?

You cannot do that until you gain root access first. That's how you get there in the first place: a stock rooted Rom.
So, no.. the stock Rom does not matter. As long as you have root access on it, all is well.
diablo2224,
You are a life saver! Prior to my post I spent a couple of hours going through all
the posts of rooting the xoom in this article:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170760
It was here I felt the need to understand what "stock" meant -- however, when I
registered I was told that I cannot post to that thread
So I posted here.
I checked out your Xoom Heaven and was blown away! Great Job!
After I submitted my post, I thought to myself that after I rooted my Xoom I would
put together something like what you have done -- looks like you beat me
to it. Bravo!
It looks like you put a lot of work into it ... so I feel extra lucky that somehow you
found the time to even read my question.
Thanks again.

Hey, no problem! It's what I do around here. Glad you got it all sorted out, and yes... Xoom Heaven is a lot of work indeed. I'm nowhere near finished, but as it stands I have made great progress.
Of course I read your question. When I'm not working on something I'm looking around for people to help out. Cheers!
Also: Since I am in charge of Xoom Heaven... feel free to ask me any root questions, or anything else Xoom related on my thread there. I'll be happy to do my best to assist you.
First off, thanks go out to: CrimsonSentinel13, paxChristos, and DooMLorD!
A couple days ago I tested DoomLorD's Xperia X10 Easy Rooting Toolkit [v3.0](zergRush Exploit) on my windows 7 vm after using my [Heimdall][UVKJ6] Back-To-Stock Heimdall One-Click.
Today I was also successful rooting from my debian linux vm using methods 2b and 4 from this page: [HOW-TO] Root Phones w/ Android v2.2.x-2.3.x (zergRush Method)
If you are feeling squeamish, there is also a noob friendly guide in pdf format available.
I hope you find this useful.
Cool. Gonna try it on my dads phone and come back. Thanks.

Hey, cool! I wanted to try a smaller set of testers at first
I'll post in the dev section after I get some testing.
For me, so far so good. Almost an hour on the new kernel.
You know you don't need this thread if you use that kernel.
If you feel like testing, check out: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11298-beta-kernel-testers/
Nothing fancy going on yet. Just stock kj6 from source with cwm+voodoo lagfix. I just want to build up a QA base for testing changes.
Don't comment about the kernel in this thread. If you don't have a rootz login, please PM me if you find problems.

Good day everyone,

Waiting upon responding.

Your both in the wrong forums. Good look for a forum for your specific phone or tablet.
Running Android ICS 4.0.3 and Build Number IMLL74K.US_epad-9.2.1.21-20120413
Every method of rooting I find has nothing to do with ICS, could someone help me on my marry way, I would really appreciate it. I just want to do a basic root, so that I can maybe change the kernal and pep up the CPU a bit.
Help would be rewarded :-D
ViperMod in the Prime form works for all but the latest firmware otherwise you have to downgrade first
And for future reference search first and questions go in Q&A not themes and apps

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum, I should know better, but I have tried downgrading and it does not work, it seems like once you are on 4.0.3 you are stuck. I just tried this method right here and got nowhere, it says nothing about an update being available...

Thanks and I did thank you, I am trying this now, I am guessing I want ICS .11, since that one is still rootable. I am trying it now, I cant believe I got this it was already on 4.03. Why do people upgrade just to upgrade... jerks.
I will let you know how this goes.
I think .17 is rootable with ViperMod also or you could just do Wolf's method 3 which let you install the recovery blob via abd and flashing the su afterward with cwm
Yeah, I actually went with the .11 Blog backup, and then rooted it without any problem at all, now just what to do, what to do... I do appreciate everyone who helped out, thanks much.
I have never rooted a tablet or phone before, but I am not stupid when it comes to hacking and modifying electronics. I just have some questions since I have been trying to root my xoom yesterday with no luck. First off, my xoom is running off of 4.0.4, which I believe is ice cream sandwich. I did not update to jelly bean yet because I do not know if that has protection against rooting. I also have an 8 GB micro sd card.
I first tried using Lord AIO tools to make it easy, and it worked for unlocking my bootloader but not for rooting. I was also using this guide, but it is outdated and I am also confused about a few things.
First off, it seems like everyone uses CWM Recovery to root, but obviously it needs to be rooted before you can install the Recovery tool. Is that why you have to first install the "fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img" file? Also, will anything not work now that I am on 4.0.4? If anyone can give me a noob guide just like the one above, but for 4.0.4 it would be greatly appreciated. Also any tips would help.
I know I have more questions, but I have to go to a friends baby shower so when I get back I will post any new questions I have. Thanks for any help and tips you guys have! :laugh:

Thanks alot, read the post. I will have to wait until at least Tomorrow to try this, seems the goo.im site servers are on overload. Reading into it they seem to have been having trouble with equipment costs and such. This guide is much more informative than any others I have seen so I can't wait to try it! Thanks again.
