awesome. Gonna give it a shot. If i sub the wifi only build from the thread explaining it, then follow the instructions in this thread youre saying i should be good to go then?
Would it be better to boot into ics before rooting?
Anyone have problems with activation after install
Thanks OP for the informative post, you really went the extra mile compiling all the info for all of us.
Here is how it went down for me...
Just FYI, before this guide i was already rooted running the stock rom with a clockwork mod recovery.
I downloaded Zone's ICS rom, as recommended by the OP.
I moved the Zone zip and the Gapps zip to the root of my xoom internal storage, i did not use microsd cards.
I shut down then booted up into recovery. Made a backup, wiped data, then installed the Zone zip.
It started right up into ICS, no issues. I DID NOT install the Gapps and all the google apps were already in the build.
To Note: When it first starts up and gets past the shimmering android text it will ask how you want to run the application. Choose 'Startup Wizard'
I DID NOT have to Root again, Superuser app and TB was included in the rom so it must already be rooted.
Dont know if this will help anyone but there ya go.

I lost root after all of this. I tried to re-run the Universal root.zip
I can not get any app that requires root access to run.
ANy suggestion?
I went thru this step by step and everything seemed to go well, until I got to the blue android. the first time I sat there for almost 20 minutes. I then decided to try and format my sd card with CWM. Now I have been on the blue android for 20 minutes again. I am going to stick it out for 10 more minutes.
Is there any other things that I might try? I was going to go into CWM and perform a data wipe.
Thanks
FIX!!! I went in and did a data wipe and a dalvik, then re-seated my sd card. booted to setup screen within 2 minutes.

Please elaborate on what exactly you did. Did you clear cache, then reload the three .zip files, the reboot?
