Looking for Insight for the Rooting Process for Wifi Xoom

[Palancar]

Went through the process of trying to root my wife’s Wifi Xoom, before starting the process I backed up her data. Then using the instructions posted by Steady Hawkin I then unlocked it. Some time during the process I ended up wiping the operating system, which was not good in her eyes. When rebooting it would boot to the Motorola Dual Core screen and that was it. I was able to restore it back to factory using the MZ604_HWI69.zip image and the wife has cooled off. Below is a copy of the cmd screen after unlocking, to see if and when I try again I won’t make the same mistakes. Any input is welcome.

It seems like you did everything correct. Have you considered going to rooted 3.1? I have a guide for that as well.

[Palancar]

The rooting is not over yet, just not bringing it up to the wife again just yet. I will keep reading and learning in the mean time.

Check out the 3.1 root guide I have, its easier and will bring you completely up to date. Dont give up bro!
