SUMMARY

• You must already be running Honeycomb 3.2 on your Xoom
• You will be unlocking your Xoom, if you have not already. This will wipe data so make sure to back everything up that you would like to keep.
• You will be performing steps in ADB. If you are not familiar with this, read HERE first.
• You will need Xoom USB drivers and Fastboot
• You will need the WIFI boot (kernel) partition with rooted stock 3.2 kernel (thanks & credit to, solarnz)
• OR You will need the 3G Verizon boot (kernel) partition with rooted stock 3.2 kernel (thanks & credit to, solarnz)
• You will need Superuser.apk and su binary to enable functioning root

**Before you get started, make sure the USB Debugging option is enabled in the Settings. Go to Settings --> Applications --> Development -->USB Debugging**

PROCEDURE

• Download and unzip files. Place rootboot.img, superuser.apk & su binary in the same place you will open your command window.
• Open command window:
• Type; adb devices - you should see a long serial number on the screen. If no serial number appears, recheck your adb, sdk & moto usb driver files.
• Type; adb reboot bootloader
• Type; fastboot oem unlock - and follow the steps on your xoom's screen (You have to accept the terms by pressing the volume down key, and then select 'accept' by pressing the volume up key.)
• Allow the xoom to boot up completely and go back into settings and enable USB debugging again.
• In the command window on your PC type; adb reboot bootloader - (if xoom does not respond, disconnect from pc and reboot manually by holding vol up + power. then reconnect after fully rebooted)
• Type; fastboot flash boot rootboot.img (for WiFi)
• OR Type; fastboot flash boot 3Grootboot.img (for 3G Verizon)
• Type; fastboot reboot
• Allow the xoom to boot completely - your xoom should be in normal operating mode for the remainder of the process.
• In the command window on your PC type; adb remount
• Type; adb push su /system/bin
• Type; adb shell
• Type; ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su (this line starts with lower case "L", like llama)
• Type; chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
• Type; exit
• Type; adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

Thats it...your done!! Unplug the xoom and reboot. Your xoom is now stock rooted. You can now flash ClockworkMod, other kernels and roms. To verify root, download a root user app from the market and run it. You should be prompted to allow superuser permissions.

Mac Only Procedure

You will need fastboot for mac - download HERE

• 
  
  • Open a terminal (located in the utilities folder)
  • Navigate to your sdk/platform-tools folder
  • Type; ./adb devices - (look for the xoom serial number to show its connected.)
  • Type; ./adb reboot bootloader
  • Type; chmod 755 fastboot
  • Type; ./fastboot oem unlock
  • Type; adb reboot bootloader
  • Type; ./fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
  • Type; ./fastboot reboot
  • Type; ./adb remount
  • Type; ./adb push su /system/bin
  • Type; ./adb shell
  • Type; chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
  • Type; exit
  • Type; ./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

Disconnect and reboot xoom. Download a root app and test.
