Tell me I've not bricked my Xoom!!! - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just tried to root my wifi only Xoom using the 1 click method, but didn't see there was a tab for wifi only & a 3G tab. I went through the options using the 3G options.
Now my Xoom's stuck at the red Motorola screen & won't go any further.
Are there any threads to reverse my balls up?? I've had a look but can't see anything
Please tell me I've not bricked it?!?

tell me why you posted this in the wrong section

I could tell you that it's not bricked...but then I might be lying.

Moved to Q&A. This is not development.

You will need to adb and flash recovery then flash the rom again.

Please let us poor souls know how you did it!!! I am stuck with the same problem - the screen freezes with the Motorola logo and the tablet wouldn't boot up!

For those still having issues, try going into fastboot and flashing the stock images.
You can access fastboot by restarting your xoom (power and vol up) and then once the red M comes up, tap the volume down key around a second later. You have a decent window of opportunity to press the key. This should take you to the bootloader. Once in there, use the volume down key to enter fastboot.
From fastboot you can either flash a custom recovery then from the recover install the BRD 3.1 rooted update, or you can just use the fastboot flash command to flash each partition back to stock.
Good luck.

Thanks . I have now installed custom recovery (ClockworkMod 3.0.2.8) but where do I get the rooted or stock ROM from? I suppose it has to be in a *.zip format.

[Q] How to root nexus s 4g?

i downloaded the matrix rom and i liked it but i wanted to go back to ice cream sandwhich for the day so when i tried to go to recovery it froze on the google screen while trying to get to recovery i kept trying and trying but my recovery wasnt working i couldnt get to it. so i went to titanium back up and clicked un-install all system and data because i thought it was when i restored all system and data from ICS but after i did the uninstall i kept getting a force close alot of things and i got all the way down to one and it was process.android i think and everytime i clicked force close it popped right bacj up instently. so i took out the battery and put it back in and now i cant power on my phone it gets stuck on the matrix screen. can you please help me i can only acces the volume up power button menu.
Boot into recovery, wipe data, cache, Dalvik cache, format /system and flash the ICS ROM of your choice.
If the ICS.zip file is not yet on your SDCard, you can mount it by going to 'mounts and storage' in CWM and selecting 'mount storage'. Then it'll be recognized by your computer and you can copy it over.
Good luck.

[Solved] wont boot after chainfire3d in JB. Fastboot- showing error

I tried installing chainfire3d driver in jellybean( i didnt know then that it is not for JB). Now my nexus wont boot into os. it just stays at the unlocked bootloader logo.
1. I can get into recovery mode
2. I have wiped out the cache and factory reset
3. I dont have a update file in my phone.since nexus dont have an external sd card i cant put any file in it directly.
4. I have tried fastboot -it shows my serial ID and i am able to reboot my phone using it but whenever i try to flash recovery.img or update update.zip it shows "cannot load recovery.img" or "cannot update update.zip"
5. I have tried ADB - on using adb shell it shows "error:device not found"
6. on using Odin (not sure whether it is compatible with Nexus s) it detects my phone. when i tried to flash the stock fireware it fails and my device shows "verify image (radio) fail"
Plz help.Is my phone bricked???????
Ok I don't want to be insulting, but you really REALLY need to read on the whole process of Nexus S rooting and using it.
You don't have to use ODIN at all for something so simple. You simply need to reflash a ROM/your ROM.
Mount your SD from within Clockworkmod recovery and transfer a ROM. Then flash it. Done.
What polo says go to recovery- mount and formay- all the way down "mount sd card". Now your phone will be like a usb drive

[Q] Stuck at boot screen

Hello everyone. This is my first post, although ive been using xda for a while now.
I recently flashed my phone with the cm10 alpha. Everything seems to be working fine and i am using it as a daily driver. The only problem is once my phone is turned off or dies, i get stuck at the boot screen. The only way to get through is to fastboot boot boot.img using the bootloader. I had this problem with the virtuous infinity rom also, but when i flashed a cm9 rom the problem went away.
I want to be able to turn on my phone and not have worry about having my computer next to me just to boot it. For example last week i was in cairo, went out, got out of a taxi and my phone fell out my lap as i was getting out. I use my phone as my camera, and i was deprived of not being able to take any pics the rest of the day.
Is there any way i could get my phone to boot without having to go through the bootloader and using fastboot? Someone help me!

I dont follow... My phone is s-on ...ive had difficulty in the past trying to get it to s-off. But regardless, ive used roms where i wasnt stuck on the boot screen.
How do i get out of the boot screen loop without having to resort to using fastboot in bootloader?
Doing a battery pull will get you out of the loop & allow you to reenter bootloader or recovery if that's what you mean. If you're just wanting to reboot without ADB you can always volume down + power + tackpad for 5 seconds and that will reboot you.

Ok let me explain my problem a little bit in more detail.
If i turn off my phone and turn it on, i will get through the mytouch screen, then goto the cm10 boot screen and i will get stuck there in a boot loop. In order to get past this, i pull my battery and get into bootloader, then select fastboot then i type fastboot boot boot.img in command prompt. Once ive done that, then my phone will properly boot and i can use my phone regularly. But once it dies or turns off, i have to go into bootloader and then fastboot and go through that process all over again to be able to use my phone.
If i dont use fastboot in bootloader, then my phone gets stuck at the boot screen till it dies.
How do i avoid this?
I want to be able to reboot my phone without having to resort to using fastboot
I am a noob. But ive wiped eveything, reflashed and i still get the same problem. Ive had this problem with another rom also, but reading through the roms forum it didnt seem like anyone else was having this problem
Am i missing something?
Ok ive figured it out. Im an idiot. Id forgotten to flash the boot image to my phone. Did that and now its working. Sorry guys, thanks for the help

See Strapped's post.
I don't believe fastboot.exe can run anything off sdcard, you would need to mount the sdcard on the computer and change directories /open cmd there, problem being you can't mount sdcard in fastboot mode so all files would need to be on computer

[Q] Stuck in "FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG"

My NExus S is stuck on the screen that says:
Fastboot Mode No Boot or Recovery IMg.
Product Name - Herring
HW Version - Rev34
Bootloader Version - D720SPRKC5
Baseband Version - D720SPRLCI
Carrier Inro - SPR
Serial Number 32300E25C33500EC
Lock State - Locked
options to select
Reboot Bootloader (gives me exact same screen) except it only says "Fastboot"
Reboot Back to the "FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG"
Recovery (Can boot to CWM but I can't mount anything)
Power OFF (That works fine)
Then the little green man and the android logo
Followed by USB Control INIT
USB Control INIT End
STANDARD_SET_CONFIGURATION
Conventional wisdom says download some files and fix via fastboot. However in fastbootI can't run ANY of the steps without running FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK. When I run it my phone asks if I really want to unlock the bootloader. when I choose YEs and hit power it just freezes there.
My next thought Boot to recovery and restore. A restore through recovery followed by a reboot leads me back to the original no boot or recovery img.
Okay I'll just sideload a working rom by mounting usb storage. Then I can flash it with CWM and be up and running.
but when I try to do mount the USB Storage I get "E:Unable to write to ums 1unfile (No such file or directory)"
Finally, Last ditch Effort, I'll load up ODIN and use that to put on a working recovery. there's forums all over the place explaining how to do that right? Well yes, but the links to the Tar file are all broken.
What next my friends? I'd really like to get this phone working.

what about just using adb? Can you find it when you type fastboot devices? If so there's a command in fastboot to reboot to recovery I think.
I on the other hand am screwed. I read in another forum that it hangs on unlock because the internal memory is fubar.

Solution for me:
1. Turn device on into Bootloop
2. Connect it via USB (PC founds it)
3. type in CMD "adb reboot recovery"
4. device is in recovery
5. reflash everything i wanted :good:

Stuck on boot screen

I may have bricked, want to know what went wrong and if it's permanent. Thanks, here's how it happened.
I was running one of the Omnirom nightly builds. I got a notification saying there was a new build, I decided to try it hoping it would improve my battery life. I had TWRP installed so I thought it would be ok (I chose to let it update automatically which I guess was my mistake). It did the update or tried to at least, but when it tried to boot it just gets stuck on the Asus screen. The one with the loading bar. Volume up or down with power button does nothing but get back to the same screen. Reset (using a pin) and volume up or down does the same thing. I thought the only way to permanently boot was doing the wipe option on the recovery menu, but maybe I am wrong. Is it possible to permanently brick doing what I did? Thanks. Any possible solutions?

Unlikely. What always works, if you can put it into fastboot, is install the Asus stock ROM. That will reformat/reinstall every partition.

Thanks for the Reply
No, it just gets me back to the same screen. This is supposed to get me to the recovery menu right?
If it matters,my bootloader is unlocked.

Well there is not much that can be done then.....
No fastboot with a locked bootloader .....
No bootloader to boot into recoovery .....
No nvflash blobs with a locked bootloader ..
Short of a motherboard you have a paperweight .....
Sorry for the back news ......

Hello
Hi
I had basically the same situation of this topic, the only i can access to fastboot.
I formated all my tablet, basically is nothing in the memory
when i tried to access over the recovery, is stuck, only blink.
Fastboot commands works but i dont know how i can recover all.
I know i need to install everything.
Can someone let me know what i can install (Kernel, firmware, rom(I want lollipop).
I had already TWRP 2.8.0
Thanks in advance

My bootloader is unlocked, unless I am misunderstanding what you're saying. On the Asus screen it says this device is unlocked. Not sure why I can't access any of the options though, unless my volume buttons is busted or something.

First step: Install new TWRP
1. Download TWRP recovery from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf300t; I would advise v. 2.8.4.0
2. Put 'openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-tf300t.blob' in fastboot folder of pc and rename to twrp.blob for faster typing.
3. Put tab in fasboot mode and connect.
4. Use command
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp.blob[enter]
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot[enter]
5. Let tab reboot to OS (will stay on ASUS screen, because you don't have OS as of now).
6. Reboot to bootloader screen and go to recovery (RCK); now you can flash any custom ROM you like.
Good luck!

No! Recovery comes way after fastboot mode. Recovery is loaded from your memory card. But something went wrong with your memory card, so you can't load that.
Once you booted your tablet into fastboot, type :"fastboot devices" on your PC. If it shows your tablet, you can easily flash a new ROM.
