How To: Root the Motorola Xoom (WiFi or 3G) (One Click Method)
I. Before You Begin
1. This will erase everything on your device so please back anything important up before beginning.
2. THIS ONLY WORKS ON US MODELS! Using on an EU model is dangerous, according to the programmers update.
THANKS TO JASON TYLER FOR THIS GREAT ONE CLICK APP and THANKS TO JBREW FOR POSTING IT ON XDA.
II. Root the Xoom
1. Download the RootMyXoom w/ Unroot App at the bottom of the first post and save it to your computer.
2. Extract the .zip file to any directory.
3. Plug in the Motorola Xoom via USB cable.
4. Right click the Xoom One Click .exe file and choose Run As Administrator (if that option doesn’t exist just click Open).
5. Click Root and follow all of the on screen prompts on your computer as necessary.
6. All done!
III. (Optional) Load a Custom ROM
1. Head to our How To Load a Custom ROM on the Motorola Xoom Procedure (coming as soon as we get the source code for Honeycomb).
thanks for a simpler version for us tech-challenged people…
Is this comfirmed to work on WIF
WIFI XOOM
Question, how’s this process handling wifi-only xoom’s?
@Henry Maier – I have a Canadian wifi zoom too and want to root it (to mod for ad-hoc wifi). Have you gotten yours to root using this method after this initial setback?
Thanks worked perfectly on my wifi xoom
works nicely for my wifi xoom singapore-model. Thanks a lot for the video and instructions.
I have a wifi model. I am assuming when I open the application for one click root, I will click on the wifi model on the right instead of the 3g on the left side of the app when it opens?
Correct!
Is it possible to create a backup before rooting the xoom? I know you can make a backup with clockworkmod after rooting, but it would be nice to have a backup in case something goes wrong with the root process. If you can’t make a backup, is there a hard reset that can be done?
I just used this on my Wifi model and WOW it was so easy to use. Thanks for posting this for us. It took only about 10 min to do. Now I need to get the SD card reader to work.

Will this work on updated 3.1 Xooms?
In the video you show us how to do in the 3G model, right?? I have the Wifi only model, so i have to use the buttons that are in the Wifi only Actions, label, right??… Do you know if is the same thing, i mean, i will hav to use the same steps that you use and the only diference is the buttons (in the case, as i said, i will have to use the one in the Wifi only actions label)???… Thx
It works perfectly on XOOM WIFI (MZ604) !
Where can I get the app other than mediafire?
I need the oneclickroot.zip too. Please somebody link it.
when trying to download the file from mediafire, i get invalid or deleted file. Any ideas?
Alguém conseguiu baixar o RootMyXoom w Unroot ???
Diz q o file é privado…..
não consigo baixar!!!!
links from mediafire don’t work
Read the first post on the developers section we link to. He gives you more information on his links.
BIG FYI = I had to dig and dig through posts all over xda for this….This method is not being used anymore because of issues. The creator and his partner promise to overhaul and bring it back…but for the time being be aware that you could have problems if you find the files….
