I have been out of the loop for a while and dont see any guides for what to do with a pre rooted wifi xoom. Sorry if this is already covered, please point in right direction. Thanks.
There is a thread in the dev section on how to update from stock 3.1 so just run the official update then follow it.

I see the guides to root once your at 3.1, but i need to get to 3.1, I read that it doesn't work if your 3.0 xoom is rooted.

My desire HD i bought unlocked from amazon. I rooted my mobile using visionary and rom manager. 2 days ago i got the update for gingerbread 2.36. I downloaded the update and tried to install but the got exclamation mark. I tried to manually update I got error (Status 7). Please help me.
Do you really want to install an OTA update that will remove root?
If not, then you can simply flash one of the many existing rooted Sense based GB ROMs.
Yes I want Install OTA. I don't have a problem of loosing the root. I don't know how and I am new to andriod
Maybe to ask someone in dev section :S try there mate
Strange but each to their own.
Not seen this before, sounds like the update download might have corrupted. But even so, I'd be tempted to hard reset (back everything up - search to find out how) and wait for next window to update.

You need the full stock ROM if you want to update, if you've removed some stock HTC aps (Amazon for example) you'll get that exclamation mark again and you will not be able to update.
I recommend you to read the root/s-off/radio-off/ how to flash a custom rom guide and install a stock gingerbread/sense w.q rom.
This is what you would get with the OTA update despite the.fact, that you still have a rooted phone

Hi there
I'm new to Android and will receive my Transformer tomorrow.
First I will update it to 3.1, and then I'd like to root it.
But... there my wisdom ends. What exactly do I have to do to root it? Is it a command, do I have to install something or a whole ROM?
Thanks for a hint, and sorry, I'm just a noob
Easiest thing to do is out of the box (don't let it update OTA to 3.1) root & install CWM (guide here). Then, install one of the custom ROMs around here, either Prime 3.1 or Modaco. Both are basically the same so take your pick.
First of all wrong forum. This should be in general. Second, did you even take the time to read? To answer your question you need to be on 3.01 in order to root so I wouldn't upgrade to 3.1 if you wanted to root. There is a guide here that will show you step by step on how to setup your Tf for root.

Again,wrong forum. But here are the steps...u will probably be pn 8.2.3.9 or 8.2.3.13. Anyways u have to downgrade to 8.2.3.9,then root n inatall cwm. Then install primordial 3.1.n custom kernel if u want. Anything u upgarade to,u will have to downgrade on 3.9 because currently theres root method for 3.13 or hc3.1.

I think this one may be better as it is TF specific plus covers downgrading.

This is the guide I used and it worked fine. I wound up with a bunch of force closes after I downgraded, but I managed to be patient and get through them far enough to be able to root the device. It just took longer to get the device show up in the adb list of connected devices.
I think the force closes were related to a gmail widget that I had on my home screen, but not certain of that.
yes decided to follow that guide just trying too back stuff up with out root its tough dont want to loose my dolphin bookmarks etc but with them all being on the internal sd it gets wiped so going to back up as much as i can and root later

+1 for this guide, despite using Mac OSX so the commands deviated slightly when it came to entering them, it was so easy to follow the steps and rooted my transformer first time without a hitch. Good luck for later when you apply the hack.

In fact I'm going to grab that stock WW3.1 rooted rom and see how it is, I'm currently on primordial 3.1

Just to add not long after putting the stock rom on I visited the developer forum and saw that Prime V1.4 had been released. Have downloaded and flashed it and my TF does seem to have more zip now.

I am interested to see if any of you get a custom ROM and if you think it significantly improves performance.
At the moment, I am quite disappointed in the performance of the tablet.
Been holding off rooting due to not wanting to void warranty, and not positive about how/if can get back to stock for warranty purposes.
I want to be sure it is really worth the effort, and risk of warranty issues.
Is anyone come up with a nap yet that will root the Iconia with 3.2?

I don't think anyone has tried rooting 3.2 with a nap yet, maybe that will work. Put it to sleep, then root it lol.
If anyone had found a one click root for 3.2, you can bet you'd see multiple threads on it knowing the monkeys around here

No they have not to answer your question
I'm assuming you don't want to do the downgrade process to root your tab then?
Acer a500 (rom) Civato Mix
HTC Inspire (rom) Rcmix 3.3 sense 3.5
No nap root method.but there is a downgrade/install rooted 3.2.
Naps are fun when taken with the correct person root Not required.
Giggles
I did the downgrade and root method and didn't even lose data. It's seriously easy. Follow the instructions.
Link to downgrade
I can't seem to find the instructions. Thought they were stickied to main page but don't see them. I have 3.2 and would like to either downgrade and load rooted 3.2 or even just downgrade so I can root 3.1 and use that again.

Understatement of the century there. Takes about twenty minutes, including the time it takes to search the dev forum using the phrase "downgrade 3.2". You don't even need a PC, you can do it all using the tablet.
@ingrouille, it's in the development forum:

Then I would recomend [ROM] Rooted Stock HC 3.2 US Rom for CWM only (5-oct-11)

It's a stock rom that is already rooted, flashed through CWM.

Many thanks.
ugh, can't seem to revert. tried method two a multitude of times but I get the android logo with the yield/exclamation point each time.
wonder whats going on. checked formatting, the zip itself, the card is recognized by the tab, hmmm. any ideas? I've seen a few other people are having this issue also.

It looks like that's an A500 ROM, correct? I'd like to keep the "4G" portion enabled, so I don't think that will work for me. Drat.
Have you ever tried to search the forums?
This way works fine for the stock 3.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307539
I used it to root my friend's A500 last week.

So... you basically cooked up your own rom and added SU to it.
To anyone else who needs to root just download kekinash's stock rom with superuser, it's the exact same thing as this without the steps just flash and you have rooted 3.2.
And you are in a small group of people that have SD card issues, I've owned 2 Iconia a500's and neither had a single SD issue.
It wasn't me
It was timmyDean who added root for stock 3.2. he described how to get root in adb shell only (the very first post in the thread I posted)
The way to add superuser for applications was described by chrishohl on the 3rd page of the same thread
Following his how-to one can get the rooted stock 3.2 without downgrade.

Nope, I haven't any issues with SD card, the only goal for now is 3G USB modem kernel modules. I haven't find any modules for the stock 3.2 kernel version.
Those for 3.1 failed to load with insmod since they had been built for another kernel version.

Can't root 3.2.1. Having the same problem. Tried the adb method, ginger break, iconia root, etc. Found method to revert back to 3.0 and then root, install recovery and go from there. In the middle of trying that now. Google is your friend.
