I believe you use Universal Xoom root to root.
Easy ADB will do it...Uninstall your current ADB and use Easy ADB.
Set Up Easy ADB: Need for the rooting process
1. Download the EasyADB(SDK_Tools.zip): here
2. Extract the SDK_Tools.zip files
3. Copy SDK_Tools folder
4. Navigate to C: drive
5. Paste SDK Tools folder on root of C: drive
Its much better if you could follow up back to your thread: here

Lets put it to the test.
Ensure you have Moto USB driver install.
Enable your Xoom USB debugging.
Setting> Applucation> Developement> Tick USB debugging.
Ensure your EasyADB/SDk_tools folder located at your c drive
Now plug in your Xoom to PC
Open command prompt in Windows Start icon (in search textfield type in cmd and press enter)
Once command prompt pop up,type:
cd C:\SDK_tools
Then
adb reboot
Let see your Xoom can reboot?
TapaTalking on Note
it rebooted! but then i hit volume down and it went into fastboot and then the android came onto the screen with a yellow causion sign, but then i did a hard reboot and it booted back up and its at the home screen. i was really sacred that i might have bricked it!!! but i didnt![]()
haha..i like you..your fun to work with
OK..do you have MicroSD card ready?
Using Universal Xoom Root: You need to have MicroSD card/External SD Card
Download this Root File and place it on your MicroSD card/External SD Card: here
*Note: Do Not Extract This .zip file.
Then
Download this recovery image(recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img and rename it to recovery.img) and place it in the "SDK_Tools folder" at your PC C:drive: here
Is it all the file ready?
my xooms battery life is only 20% will that affect anything?
No sorry..No problem..just relax and enjoy this rooting process.
Pulg in your Xoom to PC
Open command prompt in Windows Start icon (in search textfield type in cmd and press enter)
Once command prompt pop up,type:
cd C:\SDK_tools
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
(each at one time: do nothing to the xoom just watch the Xoom reboot..etc,just concentrate on the command)
it is showing me a legal notice and it says that the warrenty will be void if i do it, and if i relock it, the warrenty will still be void. if i relock it can i still keep the warrenty? what i am really asking is that if i wanted to send it in under warrenty could i just relock it and the warrenty will be valid again, or will the warrenty be broken forever?
