the version it says may not be the right one for you make sure you select the right one mine was a US wifi model mx604 I believe...


After you do the first step then follow the instructions here and this will give you what you need also remember you will need the android sdk set up and also need the moto drivers on your computer...

Yes, the 3.2.1 update unroots your Xoom,but apparently there's a quick way to reroot. I can't seem to find the correct method though...Can someone provide the instructions and also...do we lose our data in the process? Thanks.

I believe you will loose root. It won't let you update with the unlocked bootloader. To take a official update you need to lock it first. Not 100% on how to root it again.

Guide to setting up and using adb/fastboot-unlock, flash custom recovery & root - xda-developers


Make sure you check all your md5 sums I failed to do that and ended up soft bricking my tablet because of a bad file download...

What you linked goes through the ENTIRE process of installing everything from adb to the jdk and sdk, before finally getting to step 5 which says get sloarnz universal Xoom root and do the same steps in the guide I posted. There is no old way to do it. Just the one, install CWM, drop the zip on sd and flash it!
