i can unlocked the wifi xoom but when i copy and paste adb reboot bootloader then nothing. it sucks. i really want to root wifi xoom and flash ics rom
Oooookkkkk..... you didn't really ask your question all that well but if I have to guess you have successfully unlocked your xoom but when you go to reboot back into the bootloader it says "waiting for device," is that correct?
If so, have you checked to make sure that debug is turned on your xoom? better yet, why not just power it down, then power it back on and hit the volume down button when you see the M logo until you see Fastboot listed on the top left then hit volume up to confirm?
That's the basic information that I can tell you just based of the lack of information that you've provided.

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.

I tried to do it several time, but always I see only "starting fastboot protocol support"
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

This doesn't work for wifi. You get the choice of nvflash, rsd and fastboot, but not recovery.

Welp, that sucks. I hope the UMTS Xoom is better.
I'm new to Xoom but gave unlocking and rooting a go. That was todays mistake! I flashed a 3g version of boot.img. Then I tried to flash back to stock img-file. Found out that it also was a 3g img-file. Flashed once more. Now it was a wifi-only boot.img. Now I'm stuck at the Motorola Dual Core logo with Starting RSD mode 3 written in top left corner. I can't shut this thing off or anything else but rebooting back to same screen. I really don't know what to do. I bought it yesterday from a man that bought it in the US a week ago so I can't go to the shop and I don't think there are any shop that can flash it for me because it's not available here in Sweden yet. Please help. I have RSD Lite installed and the correct drivers for the Xoom installed. I'm used to ADB but it can't find the device and fastboot doesn't see it either.
Edit. I can't go into fastboot mode.
Grab the wifi's boot.img off of here:

This might be helpful. Not sure.
Don't worry you are in good company, even BRD had the same problem. Here's how he fixed it:
While I was in "RSD Mode 3" I did
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Even though there was no response from the device, I pressed Vol Down + power until the screen went black. I then quickly pressed and held Vol Up + power. The device then went into the bootloader, received the queued command from fastboot, and flashed the boot.img. Finally, I did
Code:
fastboot reboot
and was back in the game.
Guys, I think the moral of the story is to slow down and be careful with fastboot. You can bet i'll be a little more careful

Edit: Same advice as linked above by milehighclubAV8R
That doesn't do it. Propably it's some stupid misstake from me but I cannot do this because of " I pressed Vol Down + power until the screen went black". It wont get black. When I press Power + Vol down nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong. I have tried holding the buttons for about 30 seconds and nothing happens.
Did you just press the buttons or did you also enter the fastboot code as suggested?
First cmd command then pressing the buttons. When I reboot using power + vol up it starts into RSD mode 3. When rebooting it with power + vol up then vol down when black it starts into the logo screen without any text in the upper left corner. Can't even shut it down with long press on power button
Can I pull the battery? On my Galaxy S that's the way out if I get in a boot loop or need to redo a failed flash.
Not AFAIK, the unit is sealed and can't access the battery to pull it.
Perhaps ask in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973355, there may be more technical people seeing it there than in the general section.
OK. I will do that. Thank you for trying to help.
Press power+volume up. Hold it til it restarts. Let go of both buttons once you see the motorola logo then just press volume down once, and you should be then able to cycle through 3 different modes. Press volume down to cycle to different modes, volume up to select. Hope that helps.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Sorry but I can't cycle through anything. There are two modes. Either "Starting RSD mode 3" or nothing and RSDLite can't communicate with it so I belive that my xoom is dead. Sending it in for repair tomorrow. I'm giving up.
mine is stuck in the rsd mode 2. if i push and power and the up it will boot cycle if i the down button it says it is the the flashboot protocol mode, but i cannot get it to respond from the cmd window. my computer doesnt think its connected. i have the correct mot drivers. any help or is it bricked
Some people have been getting lucky with ADB commands however others have not been so luck. I myself am in the others category with one of my XOOMS.
Sucks, but some people have been able to get back. I however have not been so lucky with one of the WiFi XOOM's I have and did this purposely to see if maybe something can be done with it. Looks like we have to wait for all the files to be released......
Any day now Moto, util then people will continue to send these devices in and con the stores . For this, I applaud them.
This might work or it might not.
I had a bricked xoom too. no matter what fastboot i entered it wouldnt recognise it. all it would say is "waiting for device"
This is what i did.
Turn the xoom off
Do not connect you USB cable yet
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
It should say "waiting for devices"
Now plug your xoom
Turn on the xoom.
When you see the Motorola logo press volume down till you see "fastboot protocol"
Press volume up.
It recognise my xoom that way
couldnt turn mine off. let the battery run down. plugged it into power booted it up. no help. bricked

I have to admit, I'm one of them. Sure is a nice way to tell Moto to hurry the F up. I can't say I felt great about it but I wasn't about to lose $600 either.
me to one of them
shipped mine back to the factory today. not sure what they can do to it. is there such a thing as a force flash or will they have to replace the firmare chip to make it work? unstable combo tegra and honeycomb, aint messin with mine anymore.
i just recovered mine from this. i flashed recovery with clockwork mod:
at the rsd 3 screen with the usb attached
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
held the volume down while pressing the power off on until fastboot started flashing the recovery
fastboot reboot
xoom started in clockwork mod, did a restart and it worked
****This happened after attempting to load recovery from rom manager without flashing new recovery image.***
Did you happen to mention in your explanation about what went wrong with your xoom anything about unlocking or relocking?
I just got the google nexus s 4g phone and im trying to root it but i cant get into bootloader mode? Ive tried both volume up and power and volume down and power and it just boots to main screen. Is there something i have to do first to get into bootloader mode that i missed or something?
Nop, just press volume up, and while keeping it pressed hit power.
To add to that, make sure you keep them held down because even letting off slightly early just brings up the Google screen. At least in my case.
Not to mention the phone needs to previously be off
Since you're going to be unlocking it you're going to be using fastboot once you get there. Boot the phone up normally and make sure usb debugging is on if it isnt. adb reboot bootloader
i recently unrooted my device in order to use an app which wouldn't work with root access. Then my power button decided to break and im having trouble finding a way to reroot the device as i cant enter recovery and even if i could i cant flash SU. To make things worse for some reason Fastboot is not working in cmd (ADB is working).
I typed:
"Adb reboot bootloader"
"fastboot devices"
No device was found
Im currently running CM9 Rc1 and am looking to reflash Stock and lock my bootloader in order to get my power button fixed.
thanks in advance
Edit: someone online told me to hit the back of the phone above the power button and its now working again

Yeah its so strange Monday mine fell on tile, and it was so unresponsive and the touch screen work everything except power button i let it sat there for about 10 mins and all of sudden BAM it started to work.
Okay, so here it goes:
- Been trouble with "sudden loss of mobile network issue" for a month or so (ref: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/mobile/android-devices/NCwPW3A_ibM http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14672 )
- So I flashed to 4.0.4 stock image from the google website, a. Everything worked so well, and I got my signal back. I followed these guides (http://floatingsun.net/articles/howto-flash-gsm-galaxy-nexus-to-google-factory-image-on-mac/ http://forums.androidcentral.com/ne...ide-factory-image-restore-your-nexus-7-a.html) and they worked for me well (again).
- I wanted to lock and reunlock my bootloader again from fastboot. Locking process goes well. But when I tried to unlock my bootloader, after that yes/no screen my computer went dead. And my phone freezes on the bootloader. I pulled out the battery, and then put it in.
Magically, my phone booted by itself (without me touching the lock button). And the OS loads up seamlessly. Everything inside works well, except the power button. It's unable to put the device to sleep or even bringing the power menu. I rebooted several times via ADB, still no change.
- Maybe it's hardware problem, so I turned off my phone via ADB, and it's always turn on again right after. Then I tried to pull out the battery, and nope.... still turning back on. At one chance I pulled the battery, and immediately pressed the Power button and Vol Up, so it'll boot to bootloader. The bootloader boots that way.
- Yes, bootloader boots, but fastboot wouldn't recognize my phone. Plus I can't use the vol button and power button in the menu. It just freeze. typed "./fastboot devices" didn't give me any feedback. rebooting the bootloader via fastboot always prompt the < wait for device > endlessly.
- Upgraded to JB 4.1.1 OTA via software updater, no change on these 3 issue.
SUMMARY:
1) Power button not working, both in bootloader or in OS. But putting phone to bootloader by using power + vol button works, so I guess it's not hardware..
2) Bootloader freeze, fastboot works fishy. Cannot do anything here. (see above)
3) Everytime I turn off, it always turn back on.
I appreciate to those who read all above carefully. Thanks. I hope I can find answer.
SOLUTION(S) to try:
1) try sdk in windows at home. I'm using mac at the office. (I guess it's just the same) NOT WORKING
2) Try this tool at home (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672708) NOT WORKING
3) last and least; go to samsung repair service
DEVICE INFO:
i9023
IMEI ok
BASEBAND: i9023XXKF1
BL Version: i9020XXLC2
kernel: stock
Build Numb: JRO03E
Tried solution #1 and #2, still same response. On command prompt still displayed < waiting for device > endlessly :/
Any advice?
Broken power button. It's a hardware issue, not software. It's a known issue that when the power button breaks on the Nexus S it stays as "pressed" and you cannot scroll in bootloader and you cannot use fastboot.
What do you want to achieve anyway? Unlock your bootloader? Might I ask why you locked it in the first place?

I see... just found the culprit a few hours ago.
I wanted to restore it to factory default, following this guide.
