[size=+1]BEFORE YOU BEGIN[/size]
CUSTOM ROM AVAILABILITY: This is a stock rooted update (stock ROM, stock kernel), NOT a full-featured custom ROM. If you want the latest custom features implemented by Team EOS, install the appropriate Team EOS ROM (Team EOS Xoom 3G/4G MZ602 ICS ROM) (Team EOS Xoom Wi-Fi MZ604 ICS ROM); otherwise, if you want stock 4.0.3 IML77 ROM and kernel with root, continue below.
COMPATIBILITY: This update is for the US Xoom Wi-Fi MZ604 ONLY!!! If you have a Xoom 3G/4G, this procedure may break your device. If you have a non-US Xoom Wi-Fi, this procedure may break your device (though some have reported success). The update script verifies only whether the device identifies itself as a Xoom, performing NO CHECKS on the exact model of Xoom before flashing rooted stock 4.0.3 IML77 system and boot images. This means it won't stop you from flashing on a non-US or 3G/4G device; it will just flash and you're left with the mess (if any). Please proceed only if you're tech-savvy with Android and the Xoom, backed up and ready to restore in case of issues, and good at troubleshooting. Please provide feedback and corrections, and I'll update the post as quickly as I can. Thanks!
WARNING: Following this procedure may damage or permamently destroy your device. This procedure is provided with NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Perform this procedure at your own risk.
[size=+1]SUMMARY[/size]
This is a modded update package (update.zip) that updates the US Xoom Wi-Fi from any ROM to stock rooted Android 4.0.3 IML77 using ClockworkMod Recovery:
Flashes bootloader from a previous update (3.2.1 HTK55D) to ensure integrity
Flashes the boot partition with rooted stock 4.0.3 boot image, stock kernel
Stock ICS update fixed the Bluetooth tethering issue that was introduced in 3.2
Stock kernel includes no extras (overclocking, etc.) from custom kernels
Flashes system partition with rooted stock 4.0.3 image (minus the recovery overwrite script)
Includes Superuser.apk 3.0.7 and su binary to enable functioning root (thanks, chainsdd)
Hardware SDCard continues to be read-only via documented application permissions
Leaves existing recovery partition intact (stock 4.0.3 update overwrites it on every reboot)
Leaves user data intact (note: some users updating from custom ROM's recommend wiping data/factory reset to prevent issues)
[size=+1]PREPARATION[/size]
Download the modded Xoom Wi-Fi Android 4.0.3 IML77 update package
update_US-Xoom-WiFi-4.0-IML77_stachre_v03.zip
MD5: d2808af539cacf2d48534bfa1169730e
Ensure you have flashed ClockworkMod Recovery (thanks, solarnz, bigrushdog, koush, et al)
[Recovery] ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0 (R4c) Modded for Internal media [UPDATED 10/6]
Ensure a physical SDCard with enough free space is installed in your Xoom (required for ClockworkMod Recovery updates; update package requires about 150MB; run adb shell df to get a rough idea of optional nandroid backup size) and have it functioning properly
[size=+1]PROCEDURE[/size]
Backup your data
If you have issues with this update, you may need to "wipe data/factory reset" before the system will fully boot properly. For some, simply copying the contents of the Xoom's internal storage (mostly music, pictures, videos, etc.) to their PC is enough. Others require backup of their apps, app data, etc. using more robust solutions like Titanium Backup. Backup your data according to your needs.
.
Copy/download the modded Android 4.0.3 Update package to the SDCard
.
Reboot into recovery
Reboot your Xoom
When the Motorola logo splash screen appears, press the Volume Down button to scroll through boot options and select "--> Android Recovery"
Press the Volume Up button to enter Android recovery
Wipe cache and dalvik-cache
Note that in recovery, you use the hardware volume buttons to navigate up and down, and the power button to select. Note also that if you are coming over from a custom ROM, users suggest backing up data and doing a "wipe data/factory reset" in ClockworkMod Recovery instead.
Select "wipe cache partition"
Select "Yes - Wipe Cache"
Select "advanced"
Select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Select "Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Select "+++++Go Back+++++"
Optional: Perform nandroid backup (long)
If you have issues with this update, you may need to "wipe data/factory reset" before the system will fully boot properly. Performing a nandroid backup in ClockworkMod Recovery allows you to fully restore your device's state if you need to revert for whatever reason. Note that backing up even a bare system runs a few minutes, so this could take a very long time and require the availability of a power charger. You also need sufficient free space on your SDCard to perform the backup; the backup process does not verify required space before starting, simply failing (and wasting your time) if it runs out.
Select "backup and restore"
Select "Backup"
Be patient
"Backup complete!" will indicate that the update is completed.
Perform update
Select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard"
Select the modded Android 4.0.3 update package
Select "Yes - Install <filename>"
"Install from sdcard complete." will indicate that the update is completed.
.
Select "+++++Go Back+++++"
Select "reboot system now"
New bootloader will install. The message, "Congratulation! Your bootloader was successfully upgraded" will be immediately followed by an automatic reboot.
Enjoy your rooted Xoom Wi-Fi, running on Android 4.0.3 IML77!
[size=+1]POST-UPDATE NOTES[/size]
Stuck on Motorola logo/Bootloops: Users report "Wipe data/factory reset" in ClockworkMod Recovery often resolves this issue.
/system/build.prop errors: The updater-script mounts system and verifies that the product is a Xoom according to build.prop to prevent updating a completely different device. Some users are reporting issues with this. Until the issue is resolved in the update package, a version of the updater-script with this check removed (attached to this post) can be used:
Download the attached updater-script_no-buildprop-check.txt
Rename to updater-script
Make a backup copy of the update package
Open the update package in an archive manager (Winzip is usually a no-go; use 7zip in Windows)
Navigate to /META-INF/com/google/android and replace updater-script with the one you downloaded
If necessary, save the archive
Follow the update procedure above

The update flashes entire boot and system images, rather than just patches, so this should work with your device as-is. Wiping cache and dalvik-cache is good practice, but I'm not sure whether it's needed.
Backing up your data and a wipe data/factory reset might be needed if coming from custom ROM's, as well.
Getting an error (Status 7) - installation aborted.
The zip is on the external SD Card.
The recovery is Rogue 1.3.0 CWM 5.0.2.7 based.
Ideas?

I've tested only on solarnz's CWM recovery linked in the OP, so there could be something in the package/script which Rogue doesn't like.
Also could be a botched download; does the MD5 hash match?

HI all super place this is would like a little help if possable
iv got a sony arc s can root and load in to recover mode but when i try to install any rom from zip it will do all the normal stuff then says reboot ..
after that it just sstays on the sony logo does not go no more no matter how long i leave it ... can you help me in this am i doing some thing wronge :fingers-crossed:
flash the supporting kernel
PLZ SPECIFY WHICH RO YOU HAVE INSTALLED
if you are using a custom rom then IT IS NECESSARY TO FLASH THE KERNEL FOR THE SAME!!!
Eg:- if using ics based rom the flash a kernel for ics, if using cynogenmod the flash the kernel for that..etc
also clear cache,wipe data and dalvik cache using CWM..
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
**IF YOU THINK I HELPED THEN SHOW IT BY PRESSING THE THANKS ICON**:good:
If you want to flash the custom kernel, you should unlock bootloader first.
If your bootloader is unlocked, first flash the custom kernel (ics/jb/gb) thru fastboot that supports the ROM you are installing.
After flashing the custom kernel, wipe user data, wipe cache partition, advanced-> wipe dalvik cache and flash the ROM. Reboot the phone.
hi thanks for your replys

Its in detail!!
THAT'S an ICS rom from xperia t
FROM that post it's clear(text copied from the post)
STEPS ARE QUITE CLEAR AND STRAIGHT FORWARD
How to install.... please do all step as i am describing
Step-1) Download & Flash the kernel From here available in downloads
Quote:
Step-2) Please download Xperia Arc-S 4.0.4_431 ftf pack from here only and flash it through flash tools , in Arc and arc-s both , FTF is available in downloads
Flash every thing from ftf pack just exclude two things
1. simlock.ta
2. Kernel.sin
do not flash these two things, after flash power up your phone and let it start completely, now copy rom zip into SD card , and reboot your device into recovery
Why you need to do this ???
It will give you 440-MB internal memory and 419-MB System Rom memory
If you already have these memories then you can skip this step
3) go into recovery and wipe these things
3.1- wipe factory date
3.2- wipe cache partition
3.3- wipe delvik cache
3.4- wipe system
4) now flash my rom after flash reboot your phone and wait for 60 seconds
5) Tick unknown source, then reboot it recovery again and flash the Xperia T lock-screen mod
6) reboot and enjoy do not wipe data after this for more info read recommendations
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
AGAIN FOR YOUR BETTER UNDERSTANDING
**YOUR BOOTLOADER MUST BE UNLOCKED AND YOU MUST HAVE THE KERNEL INSTALLED PROVIDED IN THAT POST
**YOU MUST install THOSE FTF files excluding (THIS STEP IS DONE IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE INTERNAL MEMORY CAUSE XPERIA T ROM REQUIRE A HIGHER VALUE OF INTERNEL MEMORY WHICH IS BY DEFAULT NOT PRESENT IN ARC/S)
1. simlock.ta
2. Kernel.sin
**NOW GO INTO RECOVERY
3.1- wipe factory date ==factory reset
3.2- wipe cache partition
3.3- wipe delvik cache
3.4- wipe system ==MOUNT and storage>format/system
**THEN install the rom (the zip file) via install zip from sdcard
then step 5,6
I THINK I MADE IT QUITE DESCRIPTIVE NOW AND YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO INSTALL THAT ROM
BTW YOU MUST POST THIS PROBLEM IN THAT THREAD ITSELF SO THAT OTHER PERSON WHO IS FACING THE SIMILAR PROBLEM OR HAVE OVER-COME THIS PROBLEM CAN HELP FOR SURE!!!
