Im trying to get my new XOOM from unlock to root and having a nightmare!
I have read and followed guides from the forum but still can't get the new recovery on?
I have done fastboot oem unlock and followed the instructions on the tab and at the end it says complete. Next once it reboots enabled usb debugging and rebooted into bootloader, all ok so far but when I try to run the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery-tiamat-r4c-100611-1150-cwm.img" it comes up with "cannot load"? I have tried with and without the. img at the end and also renamed the file "recovery" and "recovery.img" and still the same thing.
Has anyone had this same problem and can get me back on track please.

if you have adb installed.
copy files from platform tools folder to "tools" folder.
put tiamat recovery image in tools folder.
rename recovery..tiamat as recovery(not recovery.img)
commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Ok, will give it a try when I get to my computer and will report back.
Thank you

First of all, it really doesn't matter if all your files that you need are in Tools or Platform tools, as long as they are all in there and your command window is operating out of that folder.
Second, you are making a good point re: the img file extension...in Windows, it sometimes is set to hide file extensions, so it is possible that someone could already have the img file extension there and not see it and add it again, making recovery.img.img which of course wouldn't work.
I don't think this is the OP's problem, but you never know.
So I have my Xoom unlocked and I am trying to flash the recovery in order to root. I have the recovery in the platform tools folder along with fastboot and all that, and I'm able to get the Xoom into fastboot from adb, but I can't get the recovery to flash. I'm typing the name correct. And I'm putting in 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img' without the quotes. Honestly I'm a little bit stumped at this point.
I have had the same issue for the past few days I have also tried the steps here no luck.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798

I used the same guide. It just makes no sense that I can control the Xoom and unlock it, but I can't flash the darn recovery.

I tried moving the files from the tools folder to platform tools still no luck.. all of this for the I C S flash I'm going to keep working on a solution I will let you know if I have any luck!
So I have the android sdk in c:\ , and in the sdk folder I have everything, and in the platform tools I have my fastboot and recovery. I then use cmd to get into adb, then I put the xoom in fastboot. From there I try to flash the recovery, which always fails. I must be doing something wrong here.
Try downloading the IMG again. Or try out the rogue recovery. I actually like rogue better.

I finally got it. In command I needed to direct it to the platform tools folder and then it flashed just fine. I am now rooted. Now to learn about flashing ICS
Thanks for the responses and help guys
Think you have to be stock to flash to ICS, at least that was the word yesterday.
I gave up trying to root just as I found out about the ICS update.

Two simple errors:
1) not opening the command window from the folder where you have fastboot and the image files you're trying to flash; and
2) not realizing that you have hidden file extensions in Windows, and typing ...recovery.img.img

I assume that you've set up a path in environment variables to run adb and fastboot from ay directory... and are running the flash command from a folder other than where your .IMG file is located. In order for fastboot to find the file you're trying to flash, you actually have to run your flash command from the folder your file is located...
So, cd\...\platform-tools and then flash
The simplest way I perform all of my operations for this:
I leave everything installed into it's default locations. I download tiamat's CWM image and place it into the platform-tools folder.
For Windows 7, I use Windows PowerShell.
For example: Open Start Menu > Type "power" to search, "Windows PowerShell" should show up. (For me, its default at the top - so I press enter to open it)
Once opened: I type this configuration EXACTLY as is: (Keys in <>)
Code:
cd C:\Pr <TAB><TAB> An <TAB> An <TAB> Pl <TAB><TAB> <ENTER>
This above brings me directly to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\Android-sdk\Platform-tools\
Of course, this will be different depending upon your computer setup. I've nailed this routine to get to the path the quickest.
to use FASTBOOT (XOOM already in fastboot mode):
Code:
./fastboot flash recovery rec<TAB><ENTER>
This auto completes the filename as ./recovery-tiamat-r4c-xxxx.img
Of course, depending on how many files/folders you have, you may have to hit <TAB> multiple times. I have to do it 3 or 4 times to select the recovery image I want.
Auto-complete is a nice thing. "./" is added to command from the working directory.

So I assumed that your device is unlocked? I recommend to flash twrp, more easier and works wellstart with section 2).

I don't think you did it correctly, first boot you should see the 4 icons and you need to hit the volume down button on your device (within 10sec) to select USB icon then hit the volume up button to select this setting, now proceed with the instruction on your pc to flash. Make sure you copy the recovery twrp file named" openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-tf700t.blob" from here http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/tf700t to the "install Recovery" folder and RENAME this file to recovery.blob

Sounds like your pc is not communicate correctly with your device. When your device is on and you execute Scott's bat file, is your device reboot into recovery so that you can select fastboot mode? Basically, Scott bat file is using adb command to reboot your device into recovery mode, you manually select and enable fast boot mode on your device, then the script is using fastboot command to push the recovery.blob (located in the same directory as Scott bat file) to your device.

And you did select the USB icon and the text displayed "fastboot" on your device? You also have the twrp renamed to recovery.blob in the same folder as the script? Let manually push this file using fastboot.exe and see what's happens.

don't trust the log from fastboot or any script. Just make sure the recovery.blog is in the same directory of the fastboot command and you must execute fastboot.exe from command prompt.
1. manually boot to fastboot mode from your device. (boot to recovery then select USB icon)
2. Open command prompt and run as admin and navigate to fastboot.exe directory (with recovery.blog in this directory also)
3. type;
fastboot.exe -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.blob
4. Once done, type
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
Let me know the status.

Also I would also like to point out it does not let me reboot after I write the files (using holding shift key and opening command prompt) as it freezes I think??? BEcause I can reboot from fastboot before I input writing flash recovery but after it wont allow don't know why?

Did you even notice that you didn't change to drive C: before calling fastboot? Is your recovery.blob in C:\Fastboot or in "H:\Users\Install user"?

Try this, copy the recovery.blob to this directory:
H:\Users\Install user\
Then type dir then hit enter, make sure your fastboot.exe and recovery.blob are there
H:\Users\Install user> dir then hit enter
Should show both fastboot.exe and recovery.blob
Now execute the fastboot command to push the recovery.blob

Nope, no Odin, but if your device is rooted, you could download goomanager from the market and install twrp using goomanager app.

You can be the first one to try...it may or may not works, but the methods I provided proved by many that they worked.
Update: When you flash the recovery and supersu files make sure to have the remove encryption file on sd card aswell and add it to the list and flash and if you hang at boot screen.. boot into recovery and wipe cache.. reboot.
WINDOWS USERS ONLY.... USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Make sure you have the proper drivers and make sure you have a real good usb cable... This rar has the usb drivers and the files already in the folder just drop onto desktop and run cmd.exe
Files Needed: http://www.filedropper.com/nocturnaladbfastboot
http://www.filedropper.com/removeencryption
DO NOT FORMAT SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make sure you are in bootloader or this will not work..
Key combo to get into bootloader or recovery via hard keys.
power off
volume up + power = recovery
volume down + power = bootloader
from bootloader you have several choices to boot, just pres volume down to choose, power to select.
1. To make sure you are connected run command (adb devices) enter
2. Once you see your device run command (adb reboot bootloader) Then..
3. Run command (fastboot boot boot.img) wait for downloading dialog...
4. Then run command (fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img) and make sure you have the proper files on sd card.. i put all files in the folder on my sd card to make sure...
5. once the screen says okay on tablet.. push the vol down button until you see recovery mode and then push power to start twrp recovery..
6. Once in twrp flash SuperSU246.zip and recovery.zip remove_encryption.zip then reboot... you should have root on reboot:good:
Instructions
I think I understand your instructions but I have a few questions.
Am I typing all of the commands on my pc? (- SuperSU)
Step 3 has “Run command “(fastboot boot boot.img)” I see 2 files and so those are two separate commands to run correct?
Step 4 Then run command (fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img) and make sure you have the proper files on sd card.. i put all files in the folder on my sd card to make sure... Again is this 2 commands to run? I see the twrp_recovery.img file but no fastboot flash recovery file?
In step 4 should I be using theses 2 commannds;
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thanks for your reply. Those commands are run on the PC in the cmd window right? and I copied the files in the directory to my SD card I installed on the nextbook should that be a problem. Shoul this be the SD card or internal memory? I didn't run the commands the way they were written last night & didn't have success. I am getting hung up on 3. Run command (fastboot boot boot.img) wait for downloading dialog...
My pc and tablet are seeing eachother but they both say waiting, I don't think my files are being seen.

Make sure you uninstall and reinstall the usb drivers in the folder and run the cmd from the folder and if still nothing try a new cable and usb port... when you run command adb devices do you see your listed as numbers and some letters?
After the adv devices command it gives me; listed devices YFGV0815002950 device. That should be the tablet, it’s the only thing attached w/usb & it also shows up in explorer.
After the adb reboot bootloader cmd the tablet reboots into bootloader with “Fastboot CMD WAITING “ at the bottom of the screen.
After the fastboot boot boot.img cmd my pc cmd rompt says <waiting for device> and my tablet stillhas the Fastboot screen mode & FASTBOOT CMD WAITING at the bottom of the screen
That is as far as I get. I copied all of the files in your download link in the .rar format and to a directory on my internal tablet storage. It seems like the tablet is waiting for a file but I don't understand why.

there is a problem after you boot into bootloader i had the same problem for days.. i just played with cables and drivers use the ones inside the folder they worked for me...
I'll keep trying. It has be the drivers.
I followed these directions to a T, but for some reason the device can not read the SD card while in recovery. Any clues as to why this is happening?
So I was online shopping for my first tablet when I came across this thread. . . It led me down to the local WALMART and I picked one up. I successfully completed the process, or so I thought. I went to reboot after flashing everything, and twrp says " no OS installed! Are you sure you want to reboot?"
What did I do wrong?
I have tried several times to download the remove encryption file must be a bad link or something. Is there another download site or can someone send to me plz
Nvm I ran it over with my car because I couldn't get the download link to work. If anyone wants it for parts send me a message. Its brand new only been used maybe 2 weeks. The most wear and tear on it was my Buick regal hitting it at about 45 mph in a pissed off rage. don't think all the insides are smashed tho. Possibly a good fixer upper
Is this fastboot and adb custom versions?
I have adb and fastboot in my path (runable from anywhere)..
ADB says the version release is the same number.
do I need to use your versions for the tablet?

flashed TWRP in package you uploaded yesterday.
it says both internal and external cards are empty?
internal card has files that the manufacturer put there,
but TWRP can't see them?
What am I doing wrong?
Any ideas how to fix?
log says 'unable to find crypto file'
and it couldn't mount /data or /storage filesystems
>>>
installed TWRP3 that allowed the installs although it still
could not open /data. It did find the external card installed
from there.
I am guessing the forced encryption made /data unreadable.
hopefully now with the encryption removed the /data
partition will be readable.
>>>
I reran recovery to check and log now has no failures!!!
I'm guessing the changed boot.img fixed the issues it was having.
*smiles*
cant get files. takes me to a site to sign up. can you dropbox link them please?
I just won this tablet in a contest. Anyone have the remove_encryption.zip file? I managed to find all of the other required files but none of the links in this thread work anymore.
whats the problem with the links? site says free but wants me to pay. losing my head here, and it seems im not the only one
Bad filedropper links
Filedroper no links available, asks us to register and pay for stuff that's not there anymore
can you like put them on Google drive, SendSpace, DropBox, Mega.nz and/or ZippyShare
Hi Team,
I was able to unlock the bootloader on motg3 and do a twrp img. However when I ran the command
adb reboot recovery it doesn't boot into the recovery img and it just says no command on the phone screen. Please help.
Thanks,
Arun
'No Command' means you've still got the stock recovery. Flash TWRP again by:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(Where twrp.img is the filename of the custom recovery).
Do *not* reboot the phone into system, instead scroll down to select 'recovery' and press power button to load TWRP.
TWRP should load now, swipe to confirm modification (important). Now go to reboot>recovery. Allow the phone to reboot back to TWRP. Now you can select reboot>system and TWRP shall stick permanently.

Volume buttons aren't working on the mobile. So I tried adb reboot recovery. But still it didn't boot into recovery. Here is what I had tried.
https://pasteboard.co/HhTTVr1n.png
TWRP will be overwritten by stock recovery if the system is booted up before booting TWRP once.
If the volume buttons are broken, then I'd suggest you first copy twrp.img into phone memory, boot the recovery by :
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Allow modifications, then go to Install>Select Image (img), browse twrp.img on phone>select 'recovery' and swipe to flash.
Now reboot>recovery and then reboot>system. Now it should stick.
I'd recommend being extra careful if your volume button, especially volume down button is broken. If you somehow end up with a non-booting phone, you'd have no way (that I know of) to get to the bootloader mode.

I tried fastboot boot recovery.img but it says waiting for device and nothing happens.
https://pasteboard.co/HhVmOD9.png
Make sure your phone is in the bootloader mode and is being recognized by the pc. Run:
Code:
fastboot devices
and make sure it returns with 1 entry of the device along with the text 'fastboot'. Then the command should work.

adb reboot recovery it doesn't boot into the recovery img and it just says no command on the phone screen. Please help.
Thanks,
Arun

Make sure you have installed proper Motorola drivers & Fastboot on you're PC / laptop,
You can get those files from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750
After installing proper drivers goto this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/orig-development/twrp-twrp-moto-g-2015-t3170537 download & flash latest twrp by given instructions by OP..
I just checked the usb drivers page but there aren't any usb drivers for Linux.

I tried the command sudo fastboot boot recovery.img and it returned there is no such file or directory. Should recovery file be on phone or on the laptop. Also should all these commands be run from a specific folder either on phone or system?
[email protected] ~ $ sudo fastboot boot recovery.img
cannot load 'recovery.img': No such file or directory

Yes, the terminal should be open to the directory containing the recovery.img file. For simplicity, place twrp into your home folder. The default location for most terminals is home, so no worries about directory now.
Just to be sure, type in :
Code:
ls
(LS lowercase)
Your file should be in the list. You are ready to flash now.
Try the fastboot boot command again.
As you're using GNU/Linux (guessed it early from your screenshots), drivers should not be a problem, at least for this device; unless you are running a minimal or highly customised distro like Gentoo or Arch.
Note: And yes, you'll need another copy of TWRP inside phone storage to actually flash into the device, the PC one is just used to boot temporarily into TWRP.

To add more clarity. There are two files here:
1) recovery.img
2)twrp.img
I was able to get the twrp.img file but where do I get the recovery.img file?
Hi All,
Thanks for all the help. I'm now able to root into the device.

I apologize for confusing you. They are the one and same. Just rename the downloaded TWRP img file to twrp.img and copy it over to both home folder in pc and into phone.
Use fastboot boot command on pc to temporarily boot up twrp in phone, allow modifications by swiping, go to Install>Install Image (img) option on the bottom>select the twrp.img inside the phone and flash it to 'recovery' partition.
Now reboot>recovery. This time the twrp should be permanently flashed and working properly. You are done.
Edit: Didn't see your last post, glad that you worked it out

There can be only one either recovery.img file or twrp.img.....as you are trying to replace your stock recovery by TWRP... And you need .img file for this.... Just check the name there should be just one if you have TWRP.img then there is no need for recovery.img file
Hi All,
After I was able to flash twrp and root into the phone I switched off the phone and turned on after couple of days. But now the display isn't turning on. However adb is able to detect the device and also I was able to access the file system through usb. Could you please help me troubleshoot the display issue?

Try rebooting into the recovery mode by:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
And doing a Cache/ART cleanup.
If the phone boots up (it should vibrate) but the screen doesn't light up (not even a blank dark grey screen), then I'm afraid the display is at fault.
