[Q] how is nvflash used under xoom? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hold POWER & VOL-DOWN button and see one menu option as:
3 NvFlash
what is it used for? Can I use it to flash the bootload.bin and re-partition?

Are you sure you see NVFlash, because the Xoom doesn't support that. My other tablet, Viewsonic G-Tablet supports NVFlash.
I believe your Xoom options should be as follows:
Android Recovery
RSD
Fastboot

The stock wifi bootloader had nvflash instead of recovery.

Gee, I should've noticed as I started out that way with a Xoom Wifi - lol. I've used NVFlash extensively on my G Tablet. Some of the gang is brewing up an HC for the G Tablet, that'll be nice.

This is fairly tantalizing -- if you can use this to get into NVflash mode, then it may be possible to recover "bricked" devices to a greater degree than what's currently available to us through fastboot. Don't know much about how Tegra platform devices lay out their partitions and the naming scheme and further details though.
It's possible that factory cables do something else or nothing entirely; there's mention in the kernel source about factory cables, so I'm going to have a poke through there.

my xoom is in nvflash mode,how can i restore?i try to exit with vol up+power or vol up+vol down+power,as i read in the forum,but not work....how can i resolve?it possible to flash in this mode?
thanks
sorry for my bad english

[Q] No recovery option on new unrooted wifi xoom

As the title states I follow the directions to get into the stock recovery ans I dont have that option. Only have NVFlash, RSD and fastboot.
Any Ideas?
James
what are you trying to do in recovery?
There isn't any recovery for now I don't think.
To flash the overclock/root images you just use fastboot
I am very familiar with android. I am referring to the stock recovery. Since I have not gotten an update yet I am not sure how moto works but most updates run thru the stock android recovery however I don't even have the stock recovery and I sure as heck don't want to exchange it because of the large amount of customizations I have done. I know I can OEM unlock and drop the stock recovery on there but with no course of action to relock it makes no sense.
James
There is a recovery, but it doesn't show up in the boot menu for some reason.
With ADB, you can to an "adb reboot recovery" and it will boot into recovery, so it's definitely there.
-Jim
But in order to adb reboot recovery on needs su access unless the xoom is different than everything other device. And I am not interested in rooting until moto releases the stock images.
James
interesting.. one can adb reboot recovery non rooted. Granted it just gives you the stock flashing screen for android but atleast I know its there. Motorola must have made some changes
Thanks.

Did you find a way to standard recovery menu. I spend 1 hour speaking with Moto support. They told me that I need to send back my XOOM WiFi tablet, because something wrong. I'm sure I'm not wrong in pressing that bloody buttons, it's just wrong manual and support also don't know how to access to standard recovery on WiFi version.
When you adb into recovery hit Power and Volume up. Your menu is there.

No, I'm trying to access to recovery menu without PC. My PC has problems with USB, so it didn't recognize XOOM (I checked it on the another pc, so I'm sure that only that bloody Dell D620 and corporate security programs doesn't regonize XOOM)
So I need to get access from tablet with locked bootloader and without root access. According to the troubleshooting manual I need to press volume down button, as soon as Motorola logo appears, but I made all that things several hundreds times and nothing. I could see only fastboot, RSD or NvFlash, bug no Recovery.
Also as I found owners of 3G version, doesn't have such problems, looks like only WiFi version had such problems.
If somebody who has WiFi version could make video how to get access to Recovery menu from device without PC, it could help really.

I don't think you can. I certainly couldn't find a way. The only way I could enter recovery was via adb. That said, adb doesn't require root. You just have to make sure "USB debugging" is turned on under settings->applications->development.

The most strange that Motorola support sure that we could do it via buttons. I spend 2 hours with Level 2 specialist trying how to do it. After that they advice me to send it back, because something wrong with my XOOM.
if you push the vol down button when its in the moto logo and you get the "starting fastboot protocol support" message that means you pushed the vol down button too early
reboot then wait a little longer than before then push vol down(make sure your on the moto logo) you should get "android recovery text" when that comes up press and hold vol up
when recovery loads up press down the power key then let go of vol up and you should see the options
i dont remember what the options are since i dont have the stock recovery anymore but im sure its the same as any other stock android recovery
Use an app called Wireless ADB, it has helped me out in situations like this.

Do you have WiFi version of the tablet, because it looks like this problem only with it. 3G version doesn't have such problems(
Guys who has WiFi version of the tablet please make video how you did it. I already comes to Level 3 specialist at Motorola support, because the rest specialist couldn't find Recovery menu of WiFi version.))))

Yes I know, but I would like to know how to get access to that menu without PC at all. I bought XOOM tablet to leave my PC at home during my business trip, so I would like to be sure that everything ok with my XOOM tablet. Right now I don't see any proof that I could access to Recovery menu without ABD

[Q] Any other way to boot to APX mode? I'm bricked.

My transformer suffered what appears to be a hardware failure today. My screen won't turn on at all. I can hear the tablet click on and off, I can see it in windows, but the screen won't turn on. Second screen issue I've had with it, there may have been a loose cable from the last time or something. I need to send it back.
I don't want to send it back with a custom rom unless I have to. I want to NVFlash back to stock. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get into APX mode, and I can't see why I'm having problems.
I can hold the power off button till I hear the click that it has turned off, and it is no longer seen by windows. Power + Volume Up, and nothing happens, or it boots normally. No idea why.
I do have a version of CWM on there that has been intercepting normal booting, so that may be causing the problems? I don't know, can someone confirm that they can get to APX mode with a bad CWM? Is there any way to fix CWM without looking? Better yet, is there a different way to boot to APX mode? Maybe through command line or something. Windows or linux. Any help would really be appreciated. The last thing I need is for them to refuse repairs, or try and charge me $100 for repairs/shipping on this tablet. At that point, the investment to fix it may not be worth it.
Finally, although I'm 99% certain it's a hardware problem due to the symptoms and the fact I haven't flashed anything for a while, I would like to be 100% sure. I don't feel any particular need for Asus to repair my device for free if I screwed it up. An NVflash to completely reset the thing would be a good way to know for sure.
Edit: Not sure if it matters, but this is a B30K serial number.
Re: My screen won't turn on at all. I can hear the tablet click on and off, I can see it in windows, but the screen won't turn on. Second screen issue I've had with it, there may have been a loose cable from the last time or something. I need to send it back.
The screen stays off in apx mode. If you can see the tab in windows, then my understanding is that you're in apx mode.
You then need to do the nvflash commands. See unbrick guides on xda for that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123429
Did a little hunting and there doesn't seem to be a command to get into apx mode.
If your computer can detect it I'm not sure why it won't go into apx mode.. is the vol-up key working?
To get into APX Mode it's Vol up + power button. The screen will be black and blank (there's nothing telling you is in APX mode).
If you have the correct APX driver installed, you'll get the "ping"sound on the PC.
Your B30 should be nvflash compatible

I understand that. My screen won't turn on in any mode. As is, I can't see the recovery, can't see the main OS. Anything. That is why I'm RMAing it in the first place. As for seeing the tab in windows, I see it mounting like it does on a normal boot, not in APX mode. I did try running download.bat anyway, just in case. Did not see anything mounted.

Yes, the volume up key was working. I appreciate looking for a command though. Is there perhaps an easy way to reflash the recovery to stock at least?

I do have the APX driver, it's simply not going into APX mode. I'm holding volume and power. I'm aware there's nothing to tell me I'm in APX mode. However, there's currently nothing on screen at all in any mode. That's my problem. The screen isn't working at all, so it's very difficult for me to tell if I've gone into some mode besides APX. I'm hoping there is another way to get into APX I can try, or at least a way to flash stock recovery easily.
alright, can you get into normal cwm recovery?
If you memorized the screens very carefully you could wipe data and flash a stockrom/recovery.
Sorry that's about all I can think of at this point.
Does the HDMI-out port work? you could cable out and use that to navigate easily.
If you can get into adb in recovery then you can flash anything you want through the staging partition. It sounds like you have the recovery bootloops, so you'll have to clear out the reboot command in the /misc partition. Search for the troubleshooting thread for cwm 5.5.0.4 in the dev section(I think?) to fix the bootloops. Then search for how to flash blobs through the staging partition. viola! easy as pie!
Of course, you might get APX mode back after you fix the bootloops, then you can skip the blob and flash via nvflash.

I have been trying along these lines. It is very confusing though. If someone was able to guide me through the button presses of getting to factor reset, and getting to the filesystem when choosing what to flash. I imagine I could just name whatever I needed to flash zzzzzzz.zip and simply pressing up at the top of the lest would get me too it. Oh, and how many times I need to press down to get to yes I want to flash.
I don't believe the HDMI out is active that early on. Worth a shot I guess.

Not sure how, but I managed to get it to boot to APX. Everythings good now, minus the hardware problems. Time for a second screen-related RMA.

Broken CWM

I have flashed the CWM from TF201 by accident. Now the tablet is stuck in that CWM mode. I can't connect to usb using adb mode. Power+volume down does not work anymore. Any way I can reflash the correct CWM?
THanks
If you can boot to OS - you can use fastboot to flash any recovery.. or flash TWRP from goomanager.
upd: sry..don't see about "stuck".

I have made the same mistake. Although I can get the device to fastboot USB mode. I have tried to use CWM with the restore I made before I put in Cyanogenmod 9, as well as putting on the Cyanogenmod experimental #2 for TF300. No error messages at all and it wipes data and cash without any problems.
But I get locked on the Asus boot screen and it does not continue ie I am stuck as well.
I have as well tried to use the TWRP 2.1.5. I get the Teamwin loggo screen, it wipes all the data and verifies all the filesystems and reboots. Still stuck.
Is the device bricked ?
upd:The TF300 can not be shutoff either. When you hold the power button the screen goes black, but after ~5 s the device is starting again and is still stuck on the Asus bootup screen.
if you reboot it holding vol down and power, can you get back into the boot menu, to reselect fastboot?
if holding the power button doesn't switch it off, what happens if you leave it to run out of batteries then do this?
then you can flash the correct recovery.img

Hare,
I have same problem.tab cannot power off. Just reboots into cwm.
I was thinking to drain bat. Thanks for sharing that info.
There are a lot of topics about people who broke their devices with TF201's recovery.
Afaik, no one recovered it. Send to Asus.
So the device is bricked then :'(.
Thanks for clearing it up.

RMA..
Guillaume,
Thanks for clarification.
I have read that ASUS wants 700USD for replacing/reflashing the bootloader. That was for the tf201. Any way to nvflash it back to factory? I don't believe that they have to change the MB.
I have no warranty left, but I don't want to be gouged by them either.
Any thoughts, info?
Hi,
I've do the same mistake, but I can use adb.
Do youhave any news about our problem?
Thanks
Midyr
unable to power off
My issue is that I have the CWM for the tf201. I did the update from the CWM app in Android. Bad idea. So now the tab does not power off s.t. I can get into the power+vol down mode. Adb does not work since I cannot ( don't know how) to make it go into the usb debugging mode. I have tried several things none of which have worked. Still stuck.
I wanted some feedback for a RMA from ASUS, posted it here but sor far no answers.
Not sure if it would really work, but on my Evo, I don't have to completely power off the phone to do the recovery sequence. I can do it during a normal reboot. There is a point just before the device starts booting again where it is technically "off", and if I hold volume down (don't even have to hold power on my Evo; volume down seems to be the only necessary button) starting at this point, the phone will boot into the bootloader.
So, next time the device reboots, just start holding volume down (possibly power also, just in case) at the "off" point.

The only problem is that I'm still on a beta rom from when ICS just came out. I'm on revolver it looks like. My Clockworkmod is also broken because I had a manual install, created by Roach I believe, and I then installed the one from the clockworkmod app before reading on xda not to. The tablet does not pick up that it is plugged into my computer, but it works with a wall charger. My current version of clockworkmod also won't let me update roms for some odd reason....
What would be the best way to get to a rom that will allow me to use my tablet with my computer so that I can run nvflash and restore the device to factory settings?
Thanks.

You just need to put your tablet into apx mode to flash to stock.
To do that power off the tablet
Plug the usb cable in
press and hold the power and vol up keys for about 5 seconds.
If you are on windows you should hear a notification sound.
There are a few tools you can use, like the poster above suggested

Did I mention that CWM auto boots up? The only way to get to android is to press power + vol up at boot up, let it load past cwm and then cold boot linux.
So I think whenever I try to get apx mode or whatever, it's trying to get into android, but it can't.
Can anyone help me? Sorry...
Okay so you're running linux with dual boot? Which method did you use to install it? Franks tools/Olife or the pseudo dual boot method.
Most threads like that will have info on going back to stock.
try power button and vol down.
otherwise when in recovery just try holding down power and vol up for a while 30 seconds plus (while plugged into a pc)
See if it will kick you into apx mode.

No, I didn't. I have to do "cold boot linux" which brings me into android.
I try to run adb and it cannot find the device, so I cannot do anything. I can boot into android, but I cannot wipe or change roms due to this cwm being broken.
Which method did you use to install it? Can you be more specific about what exactly is on your tablet right now?
Is your USB cable good? Can you sync from within a computer?
Did you install the apx drivers from windows?
I have yet to see a device that does not enter apx mode. When mine was looping in CWM only, this is the method I used to fix it. Unless your USB cable is damaged or you don't have the drivers installed... I "unbricked" 4 devices using apx without any issues.
As fauxsoul said, please provide install method and step by step of what you're doing.

Need help with xoom, possible brick

First,
I really want to thank everyone for their support in this forum. Everyone has been amazing.
I was trying to bring my MZ601 back to stock yesterday. Something bad happened during fastboot and asked me if I wanted to unlock my device. Then the screen locked up and didnt do anything. I rebooted the device and now it gets stuck in a boot loop with the EOS symbol (last rom I installed). When I enter recovery there is nothing there, all of my data is gone.
Worse the device is not recognized on my computer nor can it be found in adb fastboot. I have updated motorola drivers, but I think the device never gets past a certain point in order to be found.
Can somebody please help me.
Thanks,
Pretty impossible to brick XOOM's but i'll ask the basics. Can you get into recovery from a cold boot? Can you get into fastboot from a cold boot?
By the sounds of it you've just corrupted your rom or tried to re-unlock the device which would cause the entire sdcard partition to be erased.
Boot XOOM into Recovery, Fastboot, or RSD mode
So you need to get into Recovery to backup your XOOM (you do nandroid don't you?). Or perhaps you were working on creating new levels of awesome and something happend and you find yourself staring at the Motorola Dual Core boot screen with your XOOM refusing to boot any further. Fear not, you are only a few clicks away from finding your way back into recovery or fastboot goodness.
Turn your XOOM off
Press Power to turn your XOOM back on
When the Motorola Dual Core boot screen appears tap Volume Down repeatedly until "Android Recovery" is displayed
Press Volume Up to enter Recovery
You can also choose from Fastboot protocol support and RSD mode by using the same method but instead selecting their respective menu prompts.
Note:
If your XOOM is caught in bootloops or you find yourself stuck in RSD mode or Fastboot Protocol support you can hardware reboot your XOOM by pressing and holding Volume Up + Power until the tablet reboots (usually a few seconds but could be longer).

Hi,
Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, it seems that I have caused the entire sd card partition to be erased. That mean when I trry to fastboot my device is not recognized. Also, i cannot add anything to my xoom through usb. I have tried to flash through the external sd card, but to no avail. What do I have to do?
What does your xoom show up as when plugged into your pc APX? Can you boot into fastboot mode. with power off press power and volume down until you see fastboot.

Hi thanks for the reply to my message.
Unfortunately I cannot find my device when it is plugged into my computer (PC). It does not show up on my computer nor in the device manager. I can start the fastboot protocol on my device by rebooting, but I also cannot find my device in ADB.
Thanks for the reply, but I am still very stuck.
are you sure your device is in fastboot ? did you reinstall the drivers, try with another usb cable, adb shoud see the device after the drivers were installed correctly ...

I did everything I have done before. I have setup android sdk, java, and motorola drivers on two different PCs. Both fail to find my device when i type ADB devices nor does ADB reboot bootloader work. I tried the different cable, but that also did not work.
Hi,
I see that your problem is quite hard, try doing this:
1 - Force your tablet to shut down (vol+ + Power)
2 - Turn on while holding the vol- button
3 - Keep pressing vol-
4 - Plug on your PC and try fastboot devices, adb won't work!
5 - If 4 didn't work, keep trying until it does
6 - Install a Stock ROM (so you will solve your problems)
If the above don't work, contact me via PM, so we can talk easily (maybe GTalk or something like this). Good Luck

By the sounds of it you've just corrupted your rom or tried to re-unlock the device which would cause the entire sdcard partition to be erased.
Boot XOOM into Recovery, Fastboot, or RSD mode
So you need to get into Recovery to backup your XOOM (you do nandroid don't you?). Or perhaps you were working on creating new levels of awesome and something happend and you find yourself staring at the Motorola Dual Core boot screen with your XOOM refusing to boot any further. Fear not, you are only a few clicks away from finding your way back into recovery or fastboot goodness.
Turn your XOOM off
Press Power to turn your XOOM back on
When the Motorola Dual Core boot screen appears tap Volume Down repeatedly until "Android Recovery" is displayed
Press Volume Up to enter Recovery
You can also choose from Fastboot protocol support and RSD mode by using the same method but instead selecting their respective menu prompts.
Note:
If your XOOM is caught in bootloops or you find yourself stuck in RSD mode or Fastboot Protocol support you can hardware reboot your XOOM by pressing and holding Volume Up + Power until the tablet reboots (usually a few seconds but could be longer).
