Tried it!! doesn't work!! Do i have to do a factory reset??? And what firmware?? .50 or .55??

I used .45 and is worked just fine. But .50 and .55 should work fine, too.
The JB update will do the wipe for you (system/data/cache)
What exactly doesn't work?
Any errors?

[Q] Root for 101G ICS WW-9.2.2.3 ?

Is there any root for 101G running ICS WW-9.2.2.3 ?????
Thanks in advance
Anyone help
From what I've read, they closed the exploit with the update so ViperMod does not work anymore. You might have to wait for something new.
Thanks for your reply BUT jcarrz1's rom which based on 9.2.2.3 is rooted , How did he do it ?

There's a different between a rooted ROM and trying to root a stock ROM.
He just base his ROM off 9.2.2.3. For those that already have root and CWM they can update to a rooted 9.2.2.3
It's just those who are on stock non rooted 9.2.2.3 will have to find a way to root first before they can install CWM and flash a rooted 9.2.2.3
Hope that make sense.

Right but it's a different process. He take the ROM from ASUS and modified it on the pc. After which if you're rooted and have cwm you can flash his ROM.
Bottom line you need to get root to flash "custom" ROM.
What he does is on the "dev" side of things.

if you are rooted, just install an ICS ROM. (it will also block any JB OTA)
if you are not rooted - get rooted.
downgrading
The only way I know is to flash ICS ROM if you are rooted

Lol, I just said that.
Well, I know another way... But it can take time...
Get the Stock imgs for Xoom and flash them (beware you'll lost ALL your data, even your precious photos and songs!), then you update until ICS again...
Or get rooted.

It's not possible to root it anymore. xoomroot.zip has been removed from the internet.

Find the tar or md5 file and install through odin, further instructions at the link.
Worked for me
Cf-root by chainfire still works.

I just updated with mobile odin and it was rooted
I also believe that the CWM method still works too.

It does work. I did it after flashing 4.1.2 over the german rom. No problems whatsoever.
Are there benefits to choosing one method over another?

The ClockWorkMod method will give you root and the ClockWorkMod recovery to install zips and do nandroid backups/restore from recovery, while the cf-root will only install root.

You will flash the ST26_Stock_kernel_by_2010Matej using flashtool after you install the rom. To be able to reboot the rom.
in addition, i'm on locked bootloader.?
You can flash. ftf's on lock bootloader. You can't flash kernels, img.
