Have you heard of SRSRoot? If you haven’t, you will now. As its name indicates, this tool will bring root access on your tablet. After your handset gets a taste of it, you won’t stop using it. You will see why today.

This app doesn’t make you spend money on its download. On the contrary. This is great freeware you can use on whatever device you have. Including yours. The different other names it’s known as are Motorola Xoom MZ603 and MZ605. The tablet has an Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. This dedicated application is compatible with it. The app is known for its compatibility with every one of Google’s different OS versions.

Your handset came out 3 years ago with a dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU. If you’ve been feeling disappointed in its speed, the rooting will make you change your mind. The processor’s speed performance will quickly become better. After your device goes through that, you’ll also enjoy some new features. The SRSRoot is powered by this: an SRS Server. It will offer custom ROMs and these, too: customization tweaks. Also, you won’t miss out on these anymore: superuser and admin permission.

The benefits of this procedure

The handset’s battery life gets extended, also. Root-only apps are also important, and you will get many of those. The rooting includes no security problems. You’ll also enjoy the root access on your Motorola XOOM MZ601 in such a way that bloatware won’t ruin the experience. Motorola-XOOM-MZ601

The root access becomes available if you choose a Build ID beforehand. Another big advantage the SRSRoot has is that it supports a lot of different Build IDs. This guide used I.7.1-45. Once you have time to play with the root access, you’ll see if it’s really what you wanted. In case it’s not, the SRSRoot has ways of revoking it.

Time to take a look at what you’re facing after the rooting is over. You have every right to be worried. But we have to tell you that nothing serious happens with the Motorola XOOM once it’s rooted. Its warranty is the only thing to be affected. However, this situation won’t last for good. Ways to restore the warranty exist; they’re to be found in guides that are only suitable with your device.

If, however, an update happens, prepare to lose some important stuff. Such as the root access. The system partition won’t escape damage, either. These will come out alive: important stuff and internal / external SD cards.
