Rooting Jellybean 4.1.1 OTA.

[zigackly]

When you flashed the recovery, what response did you get? Were there any errors displayed?

You could try downloading the recovery again if there were. Also make sure you're using the cable that came with the Xoom, and a USB socket on your PC that is on the motherboard (usually the ones at the back).

flashed recommended recovery via fastboot. tried to enter recovery and get andy on his back with red triangle. flashed again same thing

Seem you success to unlock and try as zig suggested.
Apart from it, double check to ensure USB Debugging is enable.

If you are saying you have re-locked the bootloader, then that will be why you can't flash a custom recovery.

You need to unlock again, then you can flash the recovery and root.

I have unlocked.

Ok, this is unusual then. Let's try a different recovery.

The instructions say "Note: there are more current recovery options available which are likely compatible; however, these instructions haven't yet been updated accordingly," so there's nothing to stop us. I doubt this will work by the way, but it won't take long to try.

This is the recovery I prefer:

unofficial[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.2.0 with on-screen keyboard!

Sweet, I was going to try another recovery as suggested above but was unsure if it was safe. I will give a shot when I get a chance. Thanks again.

Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

used your recommended recovery and love it, never used but will forever! however flashed 3x still andy on his back with triangle however, it seems when i adb reboot recovery it was getting over written, so i tried the following:
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed:
- Reboot your device by holding Volume Up + Power.
- Then 3 seconds after you see the "Motorola logo", hit Volume Down. this worked why i cannot tell you maybe someone can? but flashed the rooted stock and i am up and running, thanks very much.

Glad you got it running anyway, and thanks for the info on how you got round it. Hopefully that will help someone else out,
