Tell me I've not bricked my Xoom!!!

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.

Major assistance requested!

My phone, which is my sole and only phone.. no backups.. and is required for a meeting tomorrow.. appears to have a bricked rom installation. This wouldn't usually be a problem but my volume keys have recently stopped working. I've tried taking the bought protector case off and using volume keys then, to no avail, I've taken off the exterior case on my phone and used the little stubs but it still doesn't respond and just boots straight to the bricked rom.
Any suggestions on how to get to my boot loader?
Kindest Regards,
Harry.

If you are rooted, download quickboot from market and choose reboot into recovery

put your device into that bricked rom situation
then go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open a command window there and do
adb reboot bootloader
see it it will reboot to bootloader

There are no devices listed, I've tried it when it was stuck on the boot animation "Venom 1.4.1" animation thingy and when it was just connected to the computer but not on.

i assume you have adb and fastboot files
then do you have installed htc drivers?
also have you enabled usb debugging in settings?

I know, I know. Windows 8 is not a favoured operating system, especially for my non-touch interface, but I really can't be bothered to change it
Back on Topic, should I download HTC Sync and let that get the drivers for me as it is the only option available?

One advice from a long time HTC customer ... get the device back to seller when you still have a chance and change it for something else, try to avoid HTC at all cost. If you stay with Sensation and HTC mark, i wish you strong nerves. Thats about all.

My sensation had been great thanks to the development here on xda! No complaints here.

if you have 4ext recovery installed enable smartflash from it and then install the rom again
otherwise flash the boot.img of the rom manually

Flashing the "boot.img"
Put the"boot.img" in your "C:\Android" (or wherever your adb and fastboot are located)
Shift right click in the white space on that folder
Select "Open command window here"
If you can boot into your phone, do the following
Type in: adb
Type in: adb devices (This will give you a list of devices attached to your computer, so if your phone is correctly attached it should show up.)
Type in: adb reboot-bootloader
If you cannot boot your phone, do the following
Code:
Disconnect your phone from your pc
Power off your phone
Remove the battery
Insert the battery back in
Turn on your phone while holding BOTH the POWER ON and VOLUME DOWN button
Connect your phone to your pc again
Your phone will (re)boot, wait until you see a white screen which says "FASTBOOT USB"
In the command windows on your pc, type in: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Wait until it's done flashing
Type in: "fastboot reboot"

Try remove battery from phone. After back battery in phone. Press the button Home and Power together.
Wait a little and you will have CWM.

do you have adb installed on your pc ?
if yes , just connect your mobile to your pc using usb cable ,using terminal / cmd prompt navigate to adb folder and type
adb reboot recovery
if you don't have adb then google how to setup adb on windows/ubuntu whichever os you have

Yes I do have adb installed. Even I was thinking about doing the same but will adb recognize the device when its stuck on bootloader?

just give it a try dude
I think it will recognize your device

If it is not a hardware problem, Power should work with this method.
I have several times had a problem like yours and I solved it this way.

If you still have access to Bootloader you can fastboot whichever based recovery again (need adb setup on your comp) then see if that solves your problem

Adb setup ?

Android Debug Bridge, allows you to flash apps/recoveries/boot.img/system.img take logcats etc via the unlocked bootloader on your pico, there are many tutorials on xda/google themselves on how to download and setup adb either on windows/Linux/mac. It would be the only way to flash your recovery again as you probably used some app or terminal command via a bootable working rom to flash the other recovery that has "caused" this problem for you. If you get adb setup on your computer I will happily help you fastboot a recovery so that you can flash a new rom.

Só how I do in Linux?

If you can access the bootloader, all you need is the right drivers and a recovery to flash.
You can install these drivers manually after connecting the phone to a pc
Universal Naked Driver
Then follow the 3rd step from this guide
