We have a new guide, you might take a look at it.

sounds good. anyone tried it yet?

I am back to 3.0.1and hitting "later" every 3hour when it tries to apply, which is annoying, but not as annoying as not being ble to run cifs which I use alot.

I'll look into it unless anyone has already taken the 3plunge?

There was a member yesterday that successfully rooted a non US Xoom with this method.

ok, I have found a set up Im very happy with.


I tried the "root any version" and although it worked great I was stuck on 3.1 uk firmware.


I then found on google some instructions for making the xoom a GED device which moves away from motorolas branding, and basically involves using the usa firmware, which is GED ready, then letting the device update twice to 3.2 before applying a recovery image which allows you to send the device the su root files.


Im all up and running, updated to 3.2, with root access, a sappy ged boot image and full uk keyboard. the marketplace is correctly shown in £ and everything runs the fastest ive had my xoom run yet. I am also lead to believe It will continue to update via google on the day of any new releases.


If any uk wifi's want to follow my lead and can't find the article them just pm me and ill trawl it out but it was easy enough to find on google.


oh, cifs manager didnt want to know for some reason but i replaced it with andsmb which i preffer and works great.


happy days then!

Hi
Would it be the reason why Rom Manager refuses to flash the latest Clockworkmod on my Xoom?
Frustrating as RM is the only way to flash for me with my Powerbook OSX 10.4.
I got my zoom few days ago and did the update HC 3.1 Europe.
Thanks
T.

Welcome to the forum. The latest recovery on Rom Manager isn't really viable with the Xoom.
