just install the rc29 DREAMIMG.nbh in fastboot... then just update your phone with regular updates......

btw here is a link for the rc29

i tried .....
i made sure my dream was in fastboot
i than wrote in cmd
C:\Documents and Settings\*****>fastboot update DREAIMG.nbh
error: failed to load 'DREAIMG.nbh'
**
maybe the DREAIMG.nbh which is 89,419 kb is a bad file???
or i'm just doing something wrong

i think its working now ...
its updatting in progress now
yeay

sorry i didnt explain myself correctly.... download the DREAIMG.nbh... copy the file to your sdcard (make sure its formatted to fat32).... then boot your phone to the bootloader... (turn it off and turn it back on by pressing camera+power).... then install the file....

Make sure you rename it to DREAIMG.NBH

Could I Just Do This

I am on haykuros rom right now and i am wondering if i could download a jf rom, rename it to update.zip and flash it to get back to jf, instead of doing all of that fastboot stuff.

what fastboot stuff are you talking about?
and i dont see why not, although i havnt tried, i didnt do anything using fastboot to goto haykuros 5.0.2 (i just did a wipe), so i cant see why i couldnt just do the same to goto jf 1.42

on haykuros website to go back to jf he says you have to do this
PHP:
After playing with my ROMs, and if you don’t like them or for whatever reason you feel you want to go back, you can revert back at any time using fastboot.
Open a command prompt (Start -> Run, and type in “cmd”) and type in:
adb shell reboot bootloader
This will boot you, easily, into the SPL (as opposed to power off, holding CAMERA then power on.)
Now in the same command prompt navigate to where you have your nandroid backup (you need boot.img, data.img, and system.img) type in:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system –w
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
That’s it! You are now back to your original state!
i just want to put jf on it as update.zip and flash

oh gotcha, never knew that
well you could get stuck on a flashing android, but even then you could still go do the fastboot stuff, and is there a reason against using the fastboot method? ive found fastboot to be a very reliable way of doing things, and if haykuro suggests you to do it that way, then id assume thats the best possible way of doing things
if you try to just flash the update.zip, let me know how it goes, im curious
The purpose of the "fastboot stuff" is to restore from a nandroid backup. You can flash with an update.zip of any jf version and be just fine.
yes, ive done it, worked fine, except you'll want to reflash to the radio jf has out there, if you've updated the radio. Which i know i did, the old radio has issues with 1.5

Try this
get into bootloader mode by pressing VOL DOWN + POWER button while turning on the phone. Connect it to PC, it should say FASTBOOT on the screen Put your backed up img files in the same folder as fastboot, then open command-prompt and do
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You'll need fastboot utility to do this and android sdk

no joy and nandroid back up only works if you backed up original before flashing............doesn't even work sometimes. i asked the guy you helped prev how he flashed it but no joy
Just go into fastboot mode (back + power)
Put system.img, boot.img and recovery.img in the tools folder of the android sdk
Open command prompt to the tools folder eg c:\android\tools
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
voila back to (unrooted) stock voda rom
Cant you simply use nandroid recovery to load them into your phone. Make a backup with nandroid system recovery, connect your phone to usb and replace the files in the "nandroid>Device ID"xxxxxxx">date" with the boot.img, cache.img etc.. then reboot phone in fastboot and do nandroid recovery. I'm not sure if this will work since i have not tried it, but i'm assuming it should as that's the folder i backed up on my PC when i used nandroid backup.

[Q] Maybe Bricked

Hello all, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've looked around and cannot find someone with this exact problem. I think I bricked my xoom while flashing a fix. I can boot it, it goes past the red M to the Honeycomb animation, and then eventually just goes black. If I reboot with Power+volume up I can get to Clockwork, but I have nothing to flash as I was just rooted stock.
If I run ADB Devices, the Xoom is found. I tried to reset my Xoom though, so USB debugging is not on. This seems to limit what I can do (such as Fastboot). I'm stuck and tearing my hair out. Any ideas would be very welcome!
Edit: This is a US Wifi Xoom
Edit 2: As I watch the animation, I can occasionally see a flash of the Android setup screen) presumably from resetting).

You said that you could get into clockwork, have you tried doing a wipe and reload of the current tiamat rom?
I would, but I'm not sure how to get it on my device, as I can seem to mount USB drive access from Clockwork.
Hi
1st try to boot into recovery and wipe data and cache see if it will boot then.
Also as long as you can get into fastboot you can push the stock image files back to the xoom and bring it back to life.

Thanks Lorado. I did wipe both, but it still loops. I'd love to know how to push any image onto it at this point!
Hi
If you go to the development section I believe there is a step by step on how to go back to stock images with fastboot.

I've found the guide, but the problem is Fastboot doesn't seem to work (cmd says it is an unrecognized command). It worked previously, so I am guessing it might be because flashing reset the USB debugging.
Hi
You have to have the .img files in the same directory as adb, all commands should start with adb
ie adb fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If I begin it with adb it just brings up the adb command list. When I rooted it was just 'fastboot'
Okay, I moved the files and got fastboot to run. Unfortunately, it fails with the message 'failed <remote: <00120000>>
Any idea how I could place a rom file in my Xoom without being able to boot it? I tried putting one on the sd card but it doesn't seem to be recognizing it.

There's a file called fastboot.exe that you need to download.
these are all the commands you should need.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
Lordao
ignore the adb was wrong on that one. I have added fastboot for you.

I kinda wiped away my phone's OS and I'm not sure how to fix it, help?

Hi, so I was messing with the recovery mode on my phone when trying to install a new rom and somehow ended up wiping the os. I actually managed to install the rom, but I don't know what possessed me to start tapping random buttons and that's how it got messed up. Now my phone is stuck in fastboot mode and I don't know how to get it back to normal. Any advice on how would be a great help, thanks in advance.

Fastboot flash recovery, then try using adb commands to boot into recovery and flash your ROM again. Or, try extracting the system.img from your ROM, place the system.img(rename the file to system.img if it is labeled by another name) in your fastboot folder on PC, open a terminal and flash the system.img via fastboot using the following command:
fastboot flash system system.img
