Had the Xoom a few days from the very nice people at CPW
Tried to root it but all goes well till load the rootboot.img,get no device found,did run through a few times,fails at the same point.My first attempt at rooting a device,so bit of a virgin at this?:
Any assistance pleeze,can't wait to try a nice Ice Cream Sandwich serving.
