ROM Manager support will come as soon as that happens.

adb shell ln Р Р†Р вЂљРІР‚Сљs /system/bin/su /system/xbin/suР вЂќР вЂћs I mentioned, I have a working recovery, but will not be releasing it until Google or I get the SD card working.

adb reboot bootloader (skip the next 3 steps if you have already unlocked via fastboot).

Here are the instructions to root your device (this assumes you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer): So even though Motorola hasnt officially fixed the MicroSD card slot on the Xoom to enable it to work, some hard working developers at XDA Developers manage.

I also built up a recovery, but due to a nonfunctional SD card slot (until they release a firmware update that enables the slot), nothing really works. Kudos to these guys for being so on the ball! I was able to compile that up and get a working recovery to obtain root, and then get Superuser on the device. As soon as I was about to give up, I noticed that AOSP had updated their tegra kernel repository with some new tasty branches for stingray. At first, I tried using the Harmony kernel, since they are both tegra 2 250 chips. Unfortunately the kernel was not available in the Android repositories. Oh, its not a Android or Honeycomb thing. Just needed to figure out the board kernel base, and compile up a new kernel. The Xoom, which was supposed to be Googles pet Honeycomb tablet, came out three months ago and the microSD card slot still doesnt work.

Since itР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs another Google experience device, and ships with fastboot support (albeit, limited), it really does come rooted out of the box. WeР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћll paste them in a blockquote below, for your convenience. I took the card out every 10GB or so (total of 103GB on the card) and right around 50GB or so, I got that same ''Card damaged. Koushik Р Р†Р вЂљРІР‚Сљ the grand benefactor in all of this Р Р†Р вЂљРІР‚Сљ has the downloads and methods you need ready to go. Took the card back out of the phone, as it does not have the USB External Storage setting anymore, and started reloading the card.

As far as we know, Google needs to complete the SD card driver before it can be released (or pushed via OTA update) to the Xoom. It seems that Motorola rushed the Xoom to market, and an SD driver wasnР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt ready at product launch. HeР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs confident that the root method heР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs put together is solid enough to put out, though. ThereР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs a microSD card slot located under a plastic door up top (the 4G LTE SIM card slot is beside it). With an unlocked bootloader Р Р†Р вЂљРІР‚Сљ something thatР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs been rare for Motorola to do these days Р Р†Р вЂљРІР‚Сљ you had to guess that their XOOM tablet would be easily rootable, right? We already let you guys know that the XOOM had gotten Clockwork Recovery, but itР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs not available for download yet.
