Hello everyone,
I'm new to the xoom but been an android power user for some years now. I just got my xoom (32gb wifi usa/not verizon) and I was wondering if I can just only root it without the need of installing a mode (stock or not) ROM or recovery?; the reason is personal.
Does the one click root methods in market work? (Or are they safe for this device?)
Thank you all!!

There is currently no one click Xoom root, though there is 'Xoot' which is supposed to simplify the set-up and process, but still seems a bit experimental. Of course you can just root and keep your stock rom/kernel, but I would suggest you install one of the Xoom optimized recoveries -- either solarnz R4c CWM v3.2.0.0 or the team rogue version. Here is a guide you can use...check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798

my xoom was originally the wifi only asian version. I rooted and flashed Tiamat EOS 1.0.0. I am totally a noob and was only able to do these things due to the amazing help here at XDA. I am thinking I want to set up the xoom as a US wifi so I can get the JB updates. Is this relatively easy? How do I go about doing this. I have clockworkMOd and ROM manager, and can back up my current ROM.
Thanks in advance
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

Just use that, It's stock US WiFi with root added. If you've got ClockworkMod recovery installed and you're a noob then this is by far the easiest way to go.

Is it true that this will work even though my zoom was originally an Asian version?

It should be fine, but I can't guarantee anything.
I did at one point flash it on my UK WiFi Xoom and it worked fine. So you should be good
yes, i can flash the stock (with root) to my asian "Hongkong" MZ604, the only thing is i need to edit the build.prop prior flashing, change
"MZ604" to "Xoom"

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 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.
Hi,
first id like to apologize for posting in here, but it seems sort of related to me.
Since me301t and tf300 (as far as i know) have the same guts, would it be possible to safely use rooting methods/roms from tf300 on me301? Thanks

I've been wondering the same thing. I PM'd a dev from the TF300 root method to see if there is any chance of getting the ME301T rooted and unlocked. Here's hoping!

I do too. I'd like at least root, though if we had an unlocked bootloader I wouldn't complain.
This far I haven't found anything though

Comparison
Maybe off-topic but what is the difference besides the ME301T is newer, lighter but thicker and does not have keyboard capability? I am really trying to choose! Hope someone can help me!

this bootloader MUST BE UNLOCKED.
WE NEED CWM or TWRP. Once that is enabled, CM10.1 will come, which we need badly

YES! IT IS ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE. We just need someone who is kind enough to do it for us, and unject TWRP or CWM like on the transformer series
hello,
the app to unlock the bootloader in tf300 works in me301.
I managed to install TWRP with the 4.2 bootloader and works fine. This allows playground to experimentation.
Roms and kernels works as well, but I only tried 3 of them.
Hope this helps

Unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP, I first installed the wrong version of TWRP which had no touch input and had to force a reboot, this is the one that works for me:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
Thanks for being a good test bunny for me
Backing up my Smart Tab now and will see if any of the roms work.
*Update*
Tested the CM 10.1 experimental and the CROMi-Xenogenesus 4.4.1.
CM 10.1 boots and all but touch input is weird, the "Show touches circle" is persistent and input is like using a mouse; I have to drag the circle around and double click for a single click. I tried the latest two versions and had the same issues.
CROMi boots and doesn't suffer from the touch weirdness, but WiFi and Bluetooth are not working. I suspect if I were to pull libs from the ME301T stock I will be able to get them to work in this rom but I'm done testing for now.

I got my device to unlock!
But I followed the instructions for installing the TWRP blob file, but cannot seem to get my device to boot into recovery.
Down volume +power brings up the stock bootloader
Edit: Fixed it, looks like the dd command didn't take. Did it again and viola, DONE!
Edit2: I tried Paranoid Android, it boot loops. Just FYI, I may try unpacking it and changing the system files to match our me301t and see if I can get it to work.

PA won't work because it's based on the old kernel/bootloader (pre 4.2). One of the devs made a version that works a couple weeks back but he hasn't posted it.

I want to start building some CM10.1 and other TF300 ports. But I cannot seem to find out how to get a system dump that is needed for the porting. I can copy /system to my computer, but it seems like there should be more needed than just pulling that in order to do a proper port.
Maybe it is just a matter of copying /system for the needed dump, but if anyone can shed some light on that for me it'd be a great help!
To simplify this process for everyone I wrapped up all the the necessary tools, images, drivers, etc for getting your ME301T unlocked in a single rar file. This works as of 5-13-2013, I'll update it as needed when people report problems with any of the included stuff.
I cannot stress enough that I am not personally responsible for any of this work, I simply combined it for simplicity. Please follow the links below to thank the dev's that did all of the hard work for their time!
The rar file contains:
*Contains drivers for ME301T for Windows (From Asus)
*Contains motochopper, root solution for ME301T (from djrbliss, http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/15208-root-motochopper-yet-another-android-root-exploit-412/)
*Contains necessary files and brief instructions for bootloader unlock (from philos64, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227)
*Contains boot image for TWRP (from eyeballer, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672108)
Again please thank the original devs!
The link for the rar file is:

Hello everyone,
I had to send my phone back to Verizon due to hardware issues (I was rooted and running 4.1.2...). The new phone came with 4.3. Is it possible to root this? I saw in the main root guide that if i tried using that method, i'd brick my phone. So if you can point me to a guide for rooting 4.3, i'd like to get a good rom flashed on this thing..
thanks,
tommy

Click the link that reads "Saferoot for rooting after 4.3." Then once you've achieved root access, use Safestrap which is linked in that TW discussion thread.

You can root, but no AOSP roms. You can install a recovery called safestrap and run custom touchwiz roms.
It's all in the OP. Everything is linked there.
