[Q] Will there every be a one-click root for Xoom?

Just wondering because it's a pain for me to get to a computer and download the stuff I need. My computer caught fire and I have to get another and I don't like asking people to use their laptops so I can download things.

You need a pc to run the fastboot commands...don't see if ever happening.
Sent From My Evo

What do you mean? There is a one-click method for the Evo. I understand I'd need a pc but if I can download one file and do a one click unlock and root it would be awesome. One file to complete the whole process. It wouldn't be a pain to borrow a laptop from someone to download one thing.
If I root now I have to download SDK, this & that. I moved so I don't live that close to my friends. I only have an iPad and Xoom as my source of internet.

I think for a one click we would need the source code to honeycomb

Personally I wouldn't want to one click the xoom, I learned a lot about the xoom while trying to root it and I now feel comfortable tinkering with it as a result. I wanted one click with my cell but at 600 bucks I want to know what makes the xoom tick and be knowledgeable enough to restore it if I need to. The root methods available now aren't difficult at all.

This is for 3.0, but it's one-click unlock, root, unroot, and relock.

But it does require a pc to work.

That's for 3.0 and not 3.1. It's obvious that I would need a computer.

Its relativly easy to make a one click mthod and the old one just needs the rigt images put in the right place, all the commands are the same.

I must have read it wrong then, i thought you were having problems getting a computer. The way i read it, you were looking for a one-click method to run from your xoom. Sorry, if i would have read it right, i would have answer correctly. There is currently no way to one click root 3.1. In all honesty i hope one never comes. I understand your problem, but people need to learn to do things. One clicks are the reason we have 762 threads that start with "bricked".

I completely agree. Rooting teaches people how to use fastboot and adb correctly, good things to know.

Since you are on 2.3.3 you will have to downgrade hboot and root from froyo. The link I posted goes to a post with links. The first link of that post is the one you are looking for...

Like Drob said, to be able to get full s-off you'll have to downgrade your Hboot using one of the above mentioned methods. Or you could upgrade to 2.3.4 and use HTC's half ass unlock tool.

I guess technically you dont have to use sdk/adb.. Im sure you could use terminal to temp root and push the misc.img, then use ShiftRR (an automated root for 2.2.) once you have ruu'ed.

Yes, but in the long run it's going to be better to have all that ISH set up anyway .

Just a question and please dont take it the wrong way, but how does one plan on working on deving/porting miui or anything for that matter without the sdk/adb? I feel it is VERY important to have adb setup.

There's no need to use the unlock bootloader thing from htc, Indirect (over in the dev section) has a root method for 2.3.4 (if you choose to update to 2.3.4 anyway) that doesnt involve using the unlock tools

Well if your taking it to Sprint. Upgrading it to 2.3.4 is probably one of the first things they'll do. Before they even trouble shoot it . if you end up keeping the device, and they upgrade it. you can use the method suggested above. The link is below.

i took it to sprint they didn't give me a new phone sigh... and they did some stupid test whitch i know i could have done myself being a hacker and all.. i noticed phone freezing lagging like crazy my epic at the time was wonderful.. but they didn't upgrade firmware at all.. so i guess how would i upgrade to 3.4 ??

Setting>system updates> firmware update.. rooting does solve all the problems that the phone has

Released this morning. Easy as pie and is working fine for me

Suuweeeet!!

but the bootloader is still locked and we can't flash custom roms right?

Will we be able to flash custom ROMs? Or will we only have root access to our current ROM?

We won't be able to flash custom roms just yet.
But it's great to use some of my favorite apps again now that it's rooted.

This method worked flawlessly on my ATT OneX. Win7 Pro x64...just install HTC drivers, plug in as Debug, and run the root.bat. I didn't have to kill any processes or disable sync or anything.
Only thing to watch out for is that the phone reboots multiple times even after the script stops running( like 4-5 times), so make sure its completely finished and you are at homescreen before you unplug it.

Firewater S-Off | Help Pls| Verizon | (M8)

I am trying to get my HTC One (M8 (Verizon)) S-Off & Bootload unlocked, Here is some info:
Android Version: 4.4.2
Sense: 6.0
Software number: 1.55.605.2
PRI: 1.46_002
PRL: 15310
Problem:
I have installed the HTC sync drivers (Uninstalled after drivers installed) and have been able to successfully execute ADB commands through CMD, I can get all the way through the process until it gets to the chugging part, I usually get to 2 or 3 drinks before the phone just reboots and it just stops and displays my ADB directory in the command window (CMD does not FC).
Tried all (4) USB ports on my laptop using the OEM USB cable.
Laptop: HP Elitebook 8560P
(2) USB (SS) Ports
(1) 1 Amp USB Port
(1) Standard USB port
I have turned off the firewall and AV on my system thinking that might be the issue, Can someone please give me their input, I have been trying this for several days now and I haven't had a breakthrough. Thank you in advance for your assistance regarding this issue.

Did u temp root using weaksauce first?
HTC ONE M8?

I assume you used weaksauce... There have been a couple threads about this already.. Not saying you shouldnt ask by making your own.... I had zero issue myself but recommend removing any other phone drivers you may have had and start over. I read someones post where they had a previous phones driver that had caused an issue. Personally I used an old HTC thunderbolt cable (not on purpose) but it worked.

Try it several times. It took me at least 5 for the exploit to take.

Thunder, Yes. I installed weaksauce from the thread on XDA, I do not think there is any other phone drivers on this computer. How would I go about checking ? Thank you for the reply.
UPDATE: I plugged in my windows phone and was able to locate it in device manager, I right clicked and uninstalled. Going to re-run the process and check.

Yes, I temp rooted using weaksauce and then i proceeded to install SuperSU by Chainfire. I use "Root Checker" to verify that I have root permission and I do. I am getting almost all the way through the process with no issues but, It just stops after 2-3 drinks. I think thunder might be right about the driver issue. I have a Nokia Lumia 520 that i use for work and that might be interfering the process of S-Off'ing. I have to check driver's. Thank you for the response, I appreciate it.

You may try booting ubuntu from a live disk to run firewater. It may be a pain to set up adb, drivers, and all that on a temporary os but it would rule out any problems with your os environment and cost no more than the blank disk and your time.
