Hello all i have a problem and im hoping that someone has some answers for me. First off im new to rooting and i used my old motorola xoom for a test subject. the specs are moto xoom-android verison is 4.1.2- kernal version is 2.6.39.4-g4e32b94, and the build number is jz054k, i am also using windows 8.1 on my pc if that makes a difference, if there is any other info you need please let me know.
The problem is this, i used a root instuctional vid off of you tube, said that it was for any type of xoom, I followed this guide and went through the whole process like butter. Everything booted back up and it looked diff as far as the way the apps handled and i was pleased to see that superuser ( the little android pirate with crossbones logo) had been added to my device. I then went to the play store and installed root checker and ran it, outcome was not good, i had not gained root acess to my xoom. i then thought i would just try and download a cheat engine for games and when i tried to run it i was denied saying that i must gain root acess to my device before using. i then rebooted and reinstalled zip file from boot menu again, still no success. i also went into boot menu again and clicked on permissions and let it run and then rebooted xoom and still no change. i also installed CWM superuser, I got it installed to my xoom sd and internal memory and then went back to reboot menu on xoom and ran it as it asked, im not sure if i done it correctly because in the post it said to run a recovery and im not sure on what that is. When i open up the superuser that is on my tablet, there are no apps or log info, when i got to settings and try to update superuser crashes everytime. So....if anyone can help i would appreciate it so much. Thank You.
