This was just below your own question.
first things first
do u have it unlocked? if so then yes u can. i didnt read the whole of what tom said, but that just appears to be clockwork mod install, which by itself can lead u to rootng your xoom( by way of mounting and tranfering root tool to sd, and going from there).
but there is another way using adb if u just wanted to root the stock and add supperuser without doing anything else. u have to be comfortable using adb or i would not advise it.
second post by newage should get u there. have any questions or probs, pm me.

Tried to root my Galaxy Y S5360 using the described method (update.zip). No errors and I can see and launch the SuperUser App. However, I still can't modify any of the system files and Android Commaner reports Root Access: NO.
I can't see that I missed anything. Build.prop attached.
The same problem
I do not have even a su app in list...

yeah he's right, here is a link to gingerbreak v1.20. I advice you to do backup etc first.

btw, you can check with root checker basic if you have root acces, than you just should update superuser. And intergrate update in system, I use link2sd for that
I had this problem to.
The attached file worked for me.
Instruction.
Put the file in root directory.
Flash with stock recovery(not CWM)
It's a quick flash and after re-boot you should be set.
IT DOES NOT WORK IF YOU FLASH USING CWM.zip:silly::silly:
Unlockroot and Super One Click usually works for me, if one fails other surely be succesful. But i am rooting tablets generally so i dont know if these will help, but worth a try.

Hello -
I've got a Boost Mobile LG LS720 (F3), and the phone was rooted with Towelroot, as it is a v7 phone. I was assisted at Android Forums originally; yet, I am trying to get assistance - as I want to start using Terminal Emulator, to unlock the phone's read-only memory status in sdext2. The phone works, but, I cannot get CWMT 6.0.4.8 to work correctly - it always triggers a factory reset; though, root remains. I'm able to use my mp3s from my 32 gB micro SD, but, I can't move apps using Link2SD Plus (which is the only way I can access CWMT 6.0.4.8). I'm not new to bringing root to phones, but, this Jelly Bean phone has given me nothing but trouble - I even soft-bricked it once during v6, and sent it to LG's Ft. Worth repair facility to get v7 installed (stock) I have Busybox installed, SuperSU, and to stop the 'Android Is Upgrading' app optimization at boot, I installed CWM Superuser. I have ES File Manager installed, Root Explorer, and Remount installed, as well. I want to learn about using Terminal Emulator, and taking my Android experience to the next level. I am willing to do whatever it takes to become immersed in Android, and one day, start developing apps. I hope that you folks can assist this 52-year-old, disabled Androidphile in taking things to the next level. Thank you for allowing me to post. LOveBusker
Hi,
Here is a Guide on Terminal....

For more specific info, or just more reading on it, I suggest you use the search function and see what you find. ?
Good luck!

I have rooted s3 that was Running well.
But afterI put service to it the service provider ask me to factory reset the phone.
After I did the phone is running well but when I install apps they appear not to be creating folder on the sd card.
One app gives me error enoent no such file or directory.
Another app say error no save file.
When I looked on the sd card I realized there is no new folder in the name of the app like it was before the reset.
What I have Try so far. ..
Clear app Data
Delete/re install app
Wipe dalvik memory/cache
New wipe/ factory reset.
And I am about to do nandroid reinstall but I was hoping some one could figure tHis one out.
What command can I write, program can I use or thing can do to find the bug?

Hi guys! I'm here asking for your help for a problem that is riddling me.
My mother got (against my advices..) a chinese Yuntab E706 tablet. She has been using it for a while, but she started noticing abnormal popups, installed apps etc.
Tried running Avast and Malwarebytes that found some PUPs. two of them found by avast kept on being reactivated on reboot. Malwarebytes found this:
Android/PUP.Riskware.SilentInst.a in /system/priv-app/Xfota/Xfota.apk
Suggesting me to remove it: impossible, because it was a system app called "Online Update"! So it suggested to disable it: neither this option was available!
So I tried wiping cache and restore to factory setting.
After that, I tried firing up again Malwarebytes and voilà, it found the same malware, again in "Online Update" app. Also android marks this, in notification bar, as potentially harming for the devices, suggesting to disable it. The button disable doesn't work, though the app is listed under disabled app. Also Malwarebytes says it is disabled and could not do harm; I'm worried anyway about all this story, what should I do? The tablet is not rooted anyway.
Thanks everyone in advance!
try these tricks
Nice one. I feel ur pain. 1st u must find & do everything possible to root the phone. Then once rooted successfully via Kingroot and sorts. Download rootuninstaller, titaniumbackup or 3c toolbox pro to force remove the virus after granting root access.
Alternatively, u can boot into safe mode by preesing power button to display power options, then press-holding the "power off" option to reveal "boot into safe mode" which when booted into allows you to undo changes done by apps that can damage your phone.
Pls feel free to ask questions.
Gud luck!

1st try to find out ur processor type, whether it's qualcomm, or mtk or powervr, or whatever. try gsmarena.com to check ur fone's specs or manufacturer's website. knowing fone's processor type make choice of rooting process easier.
well most china fones meant for international market ought to be mtk
try latest version of kingroot apk app[requires internet] in rooting d fone
And if fone is "mtk", we can use mtkdroidtool pc app & spflashtool pc app to create scatter file & extract, from d fone, the boot.img & recovery.img which can both be used to create a twrp custom recovery tailored specifically for ur fone.
pls try all these out diligently & give feedback.
best of luck!
P.S.
i actually found out the fone is mtk i.e. mt83321; dwnld & install out latest kingroot apk on ur fone with internet connection
then head over to http://www.theandroidhow.com/2014/05/how-to-make-backup-stock-boot-recovery.html?m=0, read those instructions carefully, download the required softwares and get the processes started.
best of luck!
@HellFire90
BTW, xfota is not malware it's the Over The Air updater used by some Chinese phones, that said it pretty much behaves like malware so I'd say it is.
I don't know how to root your device but if that nonroot method I posted works then you don't have to. Be wary of root apps, some will be worse than your current problem… especially if from some random website.
i've decided to help u all the way & i've created assortment of files for u to download. First head to https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0BygHnAHGWWirc1JKZWdFUWZGR2M&export=download, and download and extract the zip file. Then read the read_me_1st.txt, and get back to me.
@HellFire90
Kingroot is one of the most effective rooting apps but it comes with adware! Also I have doubts about just what info is sent back to China so I've never used it. See the XDA thread about it, they suggest replacing it with supersu after rooting or whatever, I can't remember exactly,

In my gdrive attachment above u find my careful assortment of softwares, files & folder hand-picked by me.
1st install all android usb drivers [those .inf files] from Computer Management, and then Device Drivers.
Those install all necessary adb driver from the adb software and folders.
My solution with Total Commander [with adb plugin, and provided those adb drivers&usb drivers are installed] allows u to access the entire file system of ur android without root access(i'm still currently using this method on my PC) to edit root directories and access phone's internal memory.
Pls give it a try and give me ur feedbacks.
Enjoy!
