Okay so.. I have an answer to my problem.. this is a problem that i had encountered many times in forums while i was looking for my answer.. big thanks to diablo2224 for his help and a thanks goes out to Cranvis for actually replying at all..
Okay so the home button wasn't working at all and it would flash and basically do zero (im sure this fix would help any buttons if this was the case). In the end i didnt have much to lose the home button not working was giving me the 'sheets' so i just tried to flash most things for wifi xoom as i was hoping it would crack a difference but it didnt... i ended up seeing a post from stachre for an update and in it was there he had pointed to stock motorola files.. i grabbed these and preformed all wipes (user data, cache, delvik - i doubt it would do much but i did it anyway).. using fastboot i then flashed the boot.img, the system.img, the userdata.img and finally the recovery.img (can always flash over the CWM anway so not a big deal) and booted it back up... suprise suprise the home button was perfectly functional again (every other update/flash of software would seeming 'update' and not actually flash to that portion of the device thereby leaving my problem and the stock images must have actually hit these sectors) i know my answer is long but just trying to be helpful to anyone else with this type of problem (stock Xoom WiFi MZ604 HWI69 images from Motorola)
as a side note : this was followed by flashing the CWM again and booting into CWM and flashing the 2.1 hammer and then wiping user data and booting into the freshly updated rom stoked!
okay it seems the home button is not working at present. i have wiped all data and cache and dalvik cache a thousand times and tried reflashing, etc still to no avail. does anyone have any more ideas? its painful to push the back button a million times to get anywhere lol

ok, so a few questions.
I am guessing it is rooted so my questions are:
What ROM are you using?
Have you tried other ROMs?
Have you been experiencing this problem since you installed the rom?
have you downloaded anything (APP, Live Wall Paper, a random APK File) before this happened?
Are you using a screen protector on the Xoom?
~If yes to the last question, is there any air bubbles or dirt in that area of the button?
~If no to last question, are you aware of any dirt or scratches in that area?
Have you tried the Home tab in Landscape as well as Portrait mode?
Have you just recently updated to a OTA that was pushed out by either Motorola/Verizon/etc?
There could be many possible reasons as to why this is happening... and I would like to help you (and who ever posts afterwords) to fix this situation. I or someone else on this board will respond as soon as possible to your problem and I hope this post helps to solve the problem

Thank you for the speedy reply to my questions. And I am sorry to say, this is one that is over my head. I would suggest that you go to Tiamat's (Or current ROM's) maker and inquire for their help. I am new to some of this but I thought I should at least ask you the basics and make sure on everything. (Woo A+ Tech Training haha!) But unfortunately, I cannot help you with this problem because I do not know what could be doing this other then maybe a line of code didn't get placed into memory when the device was flashed, or maybe there is a small error in the code itself and only certain devices have this problem (different model number = slightly different change to the chip-sets and code of the device.) There are many things that could be the trouble, and like i said, unfortunately, they are out of my understanding of the device.
I do hope that you are able to get an answer soon to your question and I hope it is a simple answer.
Sorry I could not help any more but I hope others can!
Good Luck

I reported this issue once before when I was using Xoom Zone a month or so ago. I hadn't wiped data, and it was like the home button was there just to look pretty. You could click it, it would highlight, but it was broken. If anything, I can be of service as I have had this issue once before.
I will need more info though. Do you restore data and try to hit the home button, or do you try the home button after a fresh data wipe without restoring data? It's hard for me to explain what I want you to explain, but...

A fresh data wipe mate exactly as the hammer rom thread instructed to do. No restore of data as i wanted to start fresh as i find less problems arise when u try to recover too much data and as the thread specifically called for a wipe i was more than obliging lol

I see. I've never heard of this version of the problem. My problem occurred when updating from the 3.1 Rom to the 3.2 Rom. I only had this problem because I didn't wipe data the first time because after it booted up I thought all was well... until I discovered the home button was broken... lol.
Anyways, even I'm at a loss here for how we can solve your problem. A simple data wipe resolved mine in a heartbeat... but it seems your problem is still persistent even after a clean data wipe install... interesting... can't say that I've ever seen a problem stay in the memory even after a complete data wipe...
The only thing I can suggest is to maybe drop back to a stock Rom, maybe 3.1, then installing Tiamat from that fresh stock Rom with another clean data wipe before and after. That's all I can think of since after a data wipe it's still there. Good luck!
I dropped back to manta still with the issue.. Would a nandroid recovery possibly help fix as it takes precedence over an update cuz thwn someone maybe be able to help

That might help. I can help as much as I can, but...
Try to go full stock first before anything. Do not use Tiamat for right now. Install a completely stock, but rooted 3.1 Rom is what I suggest for you to do so that you can see if it's still giving you troubles on a stock Rom.
I tried that from the other thread and gained a bootloop.. Maybe stock 3.1 recovery and not just an update more to the point where would i find such? I only used otas as i was just speeding process to get to 3.2 to start flashing customs

I dunno man, I'm usually one who has great helpful answers, but... uh, this one stumps me. Like I said, I've never seen a problem that still persisted after a data wipe. It's almost as if it is much deeper than a data wipe, but more like something has locked itself into your Xoom's memory and won't leave without forcing it out manually... something must be messing with your system files or something like that. Possibly something left over from the OTA updates of some sort maybe. Very strange...
I would pass this by Team Tiamat. Sorry I can't help this time. Good luck!

So you want someone to have a completely data wiped nandroid backup of the latest Tiamat Rom so that you can use that? That should work, especially if the backup has everything working perfectly. By having the ability to use nandroid backups you have nothing to lose since it can be restored very easily.
im not picky i would like a nandroid of any rom really mate... as long as the home button was working... so basically from a wifi US xoom (if compatibility was an issue) and the rest was okay yeh that would be great... i dont know anyone else with one here in AUS so someone here would have to help me out
p.s i have already tried the one from the dev thread of the stock 3.2 but that is bogus and doesnt really work for anyone and it didnt for me

I have a 3G Xoom, but I can make a data wiped clean nandroid backup for the latest Tiamat Rom, which I am running since Tiamat supports 3G and Wifi models alike. I can do that after work tomorrow if you would like me to...
Or you could find someone who has the Wifi model and do that.

Well again.... Im about to lose my minda because of this damn thing! Now I'm getting a fc every 5 sec... Process acore? My tab is essentially dead? Can't do anything author a fc, can't go into settings our anything... I want to smash this thing! I just got it working well and now this? Anyone know what that process is? I cam do anything with it now, cant load a new rom because I can't get into settings. Its just in an intimate loop of fc. The real disaster is im in idaho, where I got it as a gift, and I'm flying back to nc in the morning.. Can't take out back before I leave..
Anyone know anything about the fc?

If you can get ClockWork to run on boot .You might need to wipe data and reinstall the rom..Not much you can do when it is constantly Fc'ing
Well I don't have cw on the tab, its still stock.. I'm hoping I can plug into a pc, download it and get root that way? Then possibly load a new rom... Otherwise I'm screwed.
Think that will work?

Maybe you should restore it back to factory settings...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
That will bring it back to how it was out of the box, then start over.
If there are still issues then possible hardware problems?
Had this issue, even after NV flash. I was able to get CW (even with the fc) on and wipe, and partition the sd to 2gb. That seems to have cleaned it up.
This forum is the greatest on the entire internet!
Glad to hear you got it working. Imo, your issue is probably the worst thing about running stock - if you get these FC's, there's really no fix unless you take the risk of using a mod.
I believe it's the same reason why Staples pulled the devices - too many returns due to FC's OOTB.
Yes, it's too bad they did not include the "easy" button to reset to stock. Even with the upgrade, it may be enough to ultimately kill off the device. With all of the recovery images on my laptop now, I can put humpty dumpty back with ease. It's good for me, I plan to watch for returns. I could use a couple more of these.
I got cw installed and vegan, the table works like I'd expect now! This thing is awesome! Thanks for the help.
A resolution
I had this same issue happen to me on a new ROM not factory. I couldn't get into settings either to do the contact wipe. But Titanium was installed on it and I was able to wipe the contact data through there. Just an FYI if anyone else runs across the same problem.
Thanks to you Snyper....I just picked up my tab after placing it down for 10 mins and saw this error. Just a quick search in the thread and there is the answer. Man this forum rocks!!!
Just happened to me running vegan 3
clearing contact info worked like a champ!
thanks guys
I have the same issue. But, I don't have CW installed, Titanium won't load up. How can I manually get the clockword APK file on there to attempt to install it?
Any other ideas?

Hi,
Having had this acore FC problem last night, I have a couple of questions:
1) In your post above, you seem to have thought that this only happens with stock TNT. But, in this thread, it seems like others that are not running stock TNT also encounter this problem. So, it this a potential problem with all ROMs, or just with stock TNT?
2) From reading through and other threads, one fix when it happens is to clear the Contacts and ContactsProvider data, either using Settings, if you can get to it, or using Titanium, if you have it. I'm assuming that what both of those steps do is to clear out the tables in SQLlite for the Contacts and ContactsProvider apps. Is that right? If it is, do you, or does anyone know the command lines that would do the same thing?
The reason for the latter question is that when I had the problem, I could still do adb shell. If there was an sqllite command I could have used to clear the problem, I definitely would have done that, instead of having to install CWM, re-partition, and re-flash stock 3452!
Thanks,
Jim
Sorry if this has already been posted.
My phone is rooted on stock rom.
It started freezing up and wouldnt send text messages. GO sms locked me out. I had to take the battery out and restart several times. Now i cant connect to any wifi. In wifi settings it just says error. Any ideas what could be wrong?
your best bet is probably to flash back to stock OS...i dunno if there is a one click for inspire
or you could flash a rom :]...this was probably a weird glitch that would go away with a simple full flash
Why not start with doing a factory reset?

I think he already did that, but if that doesn't work, try restoring your entire phone to stock...idk if there is a one click Odin for inspire like there is for Galaxy S models
Thats what I was thinking about doing. Will try that this weekend when I have time. Thanks!

Full wipe reflash should do it.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
yep I would try wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe delvik cache and a clean install of the rom
Flashed CoreDroid didnt fix the problem
would flashing a new radio fix the problem?
Did you have any luck with this? Im having the same issue and debating whether or not I should flash back to stock to see if this resolves the issue. I have flashed countless ROMs since root with no luck.
My phone is doing the same thing. Not sure when it started doing it since I don't use wifi often. I wanted to check for updates and the HTC one requires WIFI be on, thats how I found out.
My phone is completely stock, with only Apps installed. Factory reset made it say something about connecting for 10 seconds or so before saying error, and now once again it just says error every time i try to enable it.
I'm currently on ViperS 1.2.1, Ive had this issue for couple of Sense 4 roms already. Sometimes when a call comes, I dragged the accept button to the ring (or pull up the ring), it stops at the screen which have 2 rectangle buttons at the bottom (the screen which an incoming call shows when youre using your phone). After awhile the call will be missed. Anyone experiencing the same issue? It only happens sometimes though and I've been scolded by parents for missing their calls
Hi there, I use viper also. I don't have this issue. What I suggest is doing a new fresh download of viper and a fresh installation. Meaning wipe cash wipe dalvik, wipe data factory reset, then install the new fresh download and see if that solved the issue.I'm hoping it will because not everyone experiences this and perhaps a fresh download will help. You can also post this on viper development site where everyone is using the same Rom and see if others are also experiencing this. In the mean time try what I suggested and make sure you do your backup. Backup applications too for easier retrieval . I hope this helps, I think it might because like I said its not a issue all viper users have. Best of luck and I do hope this works. Remember use a new download incase the old download got compromised somehow causing this issue. Best wishes.

Okay so I am running CM10 stable on i9023. Its been fine for like a month I think with just a couple of reboots. But today I have been getting reboot whenever I turn on bluetooth. Its a very ugly situation where upon boot the phone reboots again as soon as trying to turn on bluetooth. I then clear dalvik cache and cache to make it work again. However it seems like I really am stuck now it just wont boot anymore.
I have tried clearing cache again but it still wants to turn on bluetooth and reboots. Even took out the battery for several minutes but to no avail.
My titanium backup is a bit old so please what should I do here that doesnt require data reset?
Does nandroid backup also restore those apps which were moved to SD card?? Would it even solve the situation here?
Thanks.
Okay I finally got it running again but what do I do about the bluetooth problem now? I am scared even touching bluetooth now but I really need it from time to time. :S
So everything was fine for a few hours then I decided to do a normal reboot and bam I get the bootloop again. Something has seriously got messed up I guess.
Please anyone what would you suggest me?
Do a factory reset from recovery. If that still fails, flash the factory images and see if everything works.

How can you blame CM for that? Or any rom for that matters?
You had multiple reboots, the early ones which might have be caused by something unrelated to the rom, and the later ones something was probably corrupted. If data was being written when it rebooted on you, it's no wonder you'll have problems...

It wasnt the first time CM rebooted on me, stock rom on the other hand was very stable.
And then this whole mess happens.
only had some bugs with newer nightlies.
reflashing the rom w/o factory reset did the job
Ok, so I probably know the answer to this already :crying:
Brief story - stock rooted ROM with custom kernel. Made backup with TWRP. Flashed stock boot,img and system.img in fastboot, flashed downloaded update from 4.4 -> 4.4.2 in recovery. Wiped cache and dalvik - started but recovery locked up. Had to hold power to reboot phone. Booted fine but no network, no IMEI, no baseband.
And no I don't have and EFS backup
I take it the phone is now buggered.
Is there anything I can do to fix this??
Appreciate anything that might help this.

The same thing happened to me. Flash the latest version of TWRP, wipe your cache again, and your phone will be back to normal.

In his case, if he just does what I said to do he'll be fine. He didn't lose his EFS, he rebooted in the middle of a cache wipe and his partitions got messed up. Updating TWRP and wiping the cache again will set everything straight. This is a fairly common issue with older versions of TWRP.

I'm just saying the same thing happens to me and nothing that's suggested fixed it that's why I say its not 100% me and another guy both had the same problem and the only way was to RMA I also had my efs but even after doing everything from going back to stock updateubg twrp and reflashing my esf backup my phone would not correct its self so I'm not saying that this method doesn't work for some people but for me and another used it was a no go
So why are you guys still using twrp if it is causing issues?

because the majority dont have any problems.
and people, take precautionary measures and back up your efs partition, its the first thing i did as soon as i had a custom recovery. it takes 2 seconds. and store it somewhere OTHER then your phones internal storage, like on a comp or dropbox

I'm just saying the same thing happens to me and nothing that's suggested fixed it that's why I say its not 100% me and another guy both had the same problem and the only way was to RMA I also had my efs but even after doing everything from going back to stock updateubg twrp and reflashing my esf backup my phone would not correct its self so I'm not saying that this method doesn't work for some people but for me and another used it was a no go

Yeah but did it happen to you the way it happened to OP? So far every single person that I have come across who was in this boat due to a bad cache wipe in TWRP was able to fix it by updating TWRP and re-wiping the cache. It's a well known issue.

Thanks for the help guys. Got it up and running again more by accident than anything. Seems like MetalHead was correct, the partition was fine but just not readable. Unfortunately in order to get up and running again I flashed all the stock images in flasboot and did a full factory reset in the stock recovery which fixed the problem. Sounds like I could have done without the full wipe after all but at least it's all fixed now.
As for backing up the EFS, lesson learned. I had the 1st official TWRP on the phone which had no option for EFS backup like the current one. Guess what I'll be doing right now??
Anyway, happy man again and thanks to all that replied :good:
I must apologize for saying its not 100% but the truth is I had the exact same thing happen and no stock or fast boot cache fixed it I'm living proof that it works for the masses but under rare circumstances this just doesn't solve it oh man how I wish this would've fixed mine I been using a inspire 4g its killing me I feel like I jumped out of a beemer and landed in a pinto lol

Glad that the OP got the issue resolved !
on a side note , can anyone tell me what is the safest version of TWRP there ? i.e without this cache wipse issue ( taking too long to wipe ? )

I believe 2.6.3.4 is the latest version. That's the one I'm on, works just fine.
