Root Motorola Xoom + Clockworkmod windows mode

I’m not responsible for any damage to your tablet, use this guide at your risk.

In this guide i’ll explain how to root and install clockworkmod on Motorola Xoom.

Prerequisites are:
- Motorola Xoom
- MicroSD
- universal root (download here)
- Recovery Tiamat RC4 (cwm) (download here)
- Working ADB and fastbook

First download and install Java JDK from this link:

Then download and install Android JDK from this link:
java SE > JDK

Fastbook and Adb should be in the same directory, so if u don’t see it, copy fastbook.exe (on Wnidows 7 C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools) in the directory where is Adb (on Windows 7 C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools)

Let’s start:
Connect Motorola Xoom to PC with active USB Debugging
for activate it go to Settings>Applications>Development
and click on USB debugging

Now unlock the Motorola xoom
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot

Flash Recovery:
Copy the file recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

Then on command prompt:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
fastboot reboot

After reboot connect your xoom at PC and digit:

adb reboot recovery

Your Motorola Xoom will now restart in recovery CWM and now you can flash the Universal root you copied previously on SD.

For flash any ROM go to Recovery mode and then:
“install zip from sdcard” -> “Choose zip from sdcard”
(remember to wipe before flash, if requested)
