Adb is an Microsoft windows application.

11. Type in:

adb devices

12. Daemon will start and your XOOM should now be recognized. An alphanumeric string will denote the presence of your device.

2. Downloading the rooting-update zip file.

Download the zip file from here.
Now place this on your external sdcard. - Sorry this is a requirement at the moment, like I said this is a bit rushed.

3. Flashing recovery

1. Download this Recovery image.
2. If your device is locked, now is a good time to unlock it.

Code:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot

3. Flash recovery

Code:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img

Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.

4. Flashing the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file.

If you're in clockwork mod recovery you can continue (This recovery image will say it is clockwork mod) . If you're not looking at clockwork mod, then you need to repeat step 3 again.

In cwm, go into "install zip from sdcard" -> "Choose zip from sdcard", then select the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file you downloaded.
Note: use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select

Reboot your device and then welcome to your rooted device!
