Hey! I need all your help, please. Yesterday, I saw that Motorola reveled a tool to unlock the bootloader of our tablet (I know, late). I read all the information about the process, and I could do this on my mz607 wifi. I downloaded all that I need, drivers and android sdk. After that, I rebooted the xoom on bootloader using adb command but....I can't do anything on this!!
I looked for some information about this, and I found in all forums that I can unlock bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock" command. It's false, I cant do nothing!! I rebooted my tablet and now, always run on bootloader and not boot system.
This is my bootloader info:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)
0A.6B (sha-h13f845, 2011-11-17 16:40:56)
eMMC Info: Size 16G
Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
I found a germany forum with the same problem (I think) but I don't understand how they solved this.This the link
After this, I looked for other solutions and I found a tool of Motorola, RSDLite. I downloaded the correct file for my model, and when it flashing (7 step for the tool) not flash the boot.img! It's flash correctly other file packages (recovery.img, fastboot, etc) but it can't flash boot.img
Now, when I do "vol up+vol down+power" and select "Normal Boot", It doesn't do anything, the system would be missing!
I think it's can be a soft brick....or no, I dont know. I'm very worried about this and I would appreciate all your help.
Thanks. I'm waiting your answer.
Anybody can help me????
Ok, Anybody wants to help me!
Bye.

You may have tried to flash something before you said you did.
Basically your tablet wouldn't boot do to a failed flash, it said so right on the boot loader.
"AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)"
Either way. You will have to find the fast boot files for your specific device! DO NOT THINK THEY ARE CLOSE ENOUGH it must be your device mz607!
Once you find them simple follow any tutorial on how to fast boot.
If you have trouble finding something just Google my name and you find a few helpful posts and topics.
And on the topic of unlocks. These will never and have not been unlocked. Furthermore a update (from Motorola) would have to update the bootloader for their new(ish) unlock tool.

Runandhide told you everything you need to know. You need to find the right regioned fastboot file for your mz607 and flash it. And that ypur bootloader is not unlockable. Any tutorial you were reading to unlock it would have to have been for the original xoom, not xoom2.
HELP! Possible Brick on Xoom MZ607 WIFI
Hello, I have the same problem,
I Bricked my MZ607 by flashing a bad "motoboot.img".
That and only that can be flashed!
Have you found a solution? I would also like to unlock the bootloader.
Thanks. I'm waiting your answer.

Hi, my Xoom is the MZ607 WIFI model, and I fix whit this:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5JuUC6auPR-bWJ2cFFUVVNmNFE&usp=sharing
Download the 3 files. First, install the Moto drivers, after that, execute the RSDLite and flash the zip.
Hope I've helped you
Like the genius I am I've bricked mine too. It's a UK MZ607 that's been updated to JB from the US MZ609. I managed to delete the stock browser whilst trying to install a CyanogenMOD browser (long story) so figured I'd just repeat the steps that I used to flash the US MZ609 firmware. What I'd forgotten is that the first stage is to flash the US MZ609 ICS ROM then do an update to JB meaning I was effectively trying to downgrade. Everything flashes successfully except the boot partition which gives an error that it doesn't exist. Any ideas out there? I tried what I believe to be the original Fastboot file but no luck

anybody who still has the mz607 files for a restore? The possible stock files link doesn't work any more...
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/xoom2/list.php
MT7-L09 - UK model.
I can't remember exactly how this has happened but basically I had a demo version of the device, so flashed it with a TL10 things (Huawei being unclear, I blame them), then reset it a bunch of times because (as expected) things were going wrong. I then Unlocked, rooted etc, and flashed another firmware. The phone reverted to Chinese, called itself JAZZ. I managed to get it back to british, flashed another firmware and everything is OK ish - BUT a factory reset wipes everything and does not theme it like 'out of the box'. There's also a few apps I don't think should be there, like 'Payment UICC'.
I've tried using the unpacker and flashing boot.img, recovery.img, system.img cust.img etc etc, but when I go to factory reset it still has the same issue.
To be honest, I don't even know which the latest UK firmware is - and I don't know if the UK firmware is different toe the EU firmware.
Please help, I'm totally stuck here
re cust fail
I am in the same case as you and so far I have not found solutions;
it would take a backup of the system.
I have the European model.

Ugh - some more help is needed! I have flashed EVERY RECOVERY that works, and you CAN'T just force flash via ADB because it doesn' let you on every partition.
-Where is the 'appropriate recovery' for the L09?
-Where are the latest firmware restore imgs?
HOWEVER, even in the few instances when I WAS able to flash the cust.img (as I said in the OP) it didn't help - it still says 'cust fail' during the factory reset. And then it's wiped and reset, but not 'out of box' - all theming is gone, apps all over the screen, apps I don;t even know if should be there, polaris office not installed etc.

Update: so I downloaded the kindly provided firmware above, and doing a force upgrade gets the 'update' bar all the way to the end, where it just freezes. After about 2 hours I unplugged the phone, and that seems to trigger an 'update failed' message - so that didnt work.
Also th sim card isn't being recognised - which I assume is to do with my baseband? Its currently 21.213.00.00.031
But because I can't flash the modem (see below) I can't seem to do anything about it...
So, I tried to use the extractor, and try to flash each img it extracts from fastboot. I try to fastboot flash:
system: success
cust: success
modem: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
boot: success
cache: success
ptable: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
fastboot: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
recovery: success
userdata: success
When I made it Chinese by accident, is there a chance the partitions where somehow messed up, like resized or something? It's so frustrating that a factory reset doesnt put it how it should, because that means something isn't right... and it also means future updates probably won't work.
Is there anything I can do?
Hi,
I have mt7-l09 french and the same situation (120->chinese->120->cust fail)
No ip calls, also
Tried: extractor, adb, shell commands (rooted)..
@Volgot
Hi, you have a solution ?
yes! and no..
lollipop instalation fixed it, but..
if you go back cust fail do it too )
This is my fourth failed attempt to do anything custom with an android phone (yes, 4 different phones). Why is it so hard?
I'm following some nice instructions from teamandroid.com, but I can't get into recovery. Either I get "no command", or if I flash and go into recovery right away while connected, I get "Error: failed to load kernel!"
I wasn't able to flash TWRP ("Image size exeeded partition limits") but clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon seemed to work. Just can't boot into it. I don't know what else to try, I don't know why it doesn't work.
Can anyone help me? Just trying to root my Moto G 2015 for development purposes. thanks so much.

I assume your talking about this guide: http://www.teamandroid.com/2015/10/02/root-moto-g-2015-on-android-5-1-lollipop-with-supersu/
It is an OK guide, but you really have to read the details... did you unlock via the Motorola Bootloader Unlock page? Nothing will work properly until you do.
Yes that's the guide (xda didn't let me post the link). Yes I did unlock that way. I'm trying to follow all of the details and I don't think I've missed anything (hence my frustration).

Kind of digging up an old thread here, what is the problem you are having and what process are you using? TBH, this is pretty simple but you need the TWRP specific to your device and just flash Magisk.

Hello!
I have a problem with my moto g3, he gets stuck at fastboot screen at gives error "version downgraded for boot, failed to validate boot image" after an ota update.
I've tried with different factory ROMs and everyone of them says error "(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)"
What can I do? My phone won't work ever o there's a solution?, I've tried and I couldn't get it to flash anything.
I can't get it to claim warranty nor do I believe there's a specialized motorola service where I live.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for answering friend.
Is an XT1540. US retail. Unlocked. It had 6.0 before the ota that i think ir was a security update because it was aprox. 300mb.
Yes, i tried that with several images (factory) it wont ley me flash anything, gives me the errors that i mentioned before when i tried to flash gpt, system an recovery, it only flash logo.bin, nhlos succesfully.
I've tried to flash the 6.0 image corresponding to my model(xt1540 RETUS 2GB).
It says in the fastboot "invalid PIV image" and un the cmd "invalid signed image" or something like that.
You think is solvable?
Thanks a lot.
what twrp have you flashed?
No one, bootloader's locked, therefore i couldn't flash either twrp nor custom roms.
I suppose it had factory recovery, but it i choose to go to the recovery, il'll loop and go to the fastboot screen. I can only acces to the fastboot and fastboot logs.
Hang on a few minutes I'm working on a new guide...
If you do, i guess ill have to buy some marble to stand a statue un you honor man, thanks.
plastic's fine.
Start at the beginning and alert me if there's any confusion so I can fix it. Thanks.

Friend, it's pretty clear. Le probleme est that i dont hace and unlocked bootloader, but un order to unlock it i hace to check the box un developer options and i cannot do that cuz im stuck un bootloader mode, is a vicious circle, do you get me?
Can you boot to stock recovery - same as with TWRP but you will get a luing down android - press vol-up and after a few secs you will be in stock recovery. Do a factory reset. Maybe then you can boot. If not I am out of ideas.
It wont ley me boot to recovery, i ve done several factory reset vía fastboot mode.
Thanks forma taking the time trying to help me, i appreciate that.
you're welcome!

okay, thinking more on this - since you can do fastboot factory reset, can you do a fastboot flash recovery? - show me a pic of the commands and results when you try it. Grab squid's latest and see what happens. Or will it just block it because you're locked.
haven't had a chance to look fully at this. Most need recovery, but...
https://www.google.com/search?clien...8#channel=fs&q=fastboot+turn+on+usb+debugging
Hey, you came back!! Haha.
Well, trying to flash anything will give me the error "failed remote failure" and "preflash valiudation failed", I've tried to flash either factory recoveries and TWRP with the same result. Addtionally, If i try to flash any sparsechunk it will also give the error " invalid signed image".
I'll have to say that trying to enable USB debugging vía fastboot is an excellent idea, i did't try that, i hope i can do it without the recovery cuz i can't boot to it and until now, i couln't flash any recovery.
Thanks again!
Edit: I've read quite a bit and seems like in every case you would need a working recovery to allow USB debugging, so I think I can not do it in the actual state of things haha.
Edit2: I have a pair of questions:
1. Do i need to check allow oem unlocking in developer options in android 6.0 in order to unlock the bootloader?
2. In order to use RSD lite and it recognizing muy phone do i have to have USB debugging allowed?

Hey friend, i don't want to be a pushover. You're taking the time to help me and i see that, but i saw the video, and he starts the phone by making a data erase, i already did that, and the phone refuses to start. Same error. "version downgraded for boot" "failed to validate boot image" "fastboot reason: fall-through from normal boot mode".
And says in big red letters "Start up failed: Your device didn't start up succesfully. Use the software repair assistant on computer to repair your device."
I feel like i've tried everything.
Thanks again.
So I'm now stuck at fastboot mode and yes I have read all other people with the same issue and tried the methods they used.
Tried to flash all versions of TWRP and it all shows this message:
FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')
Tried to flash a stock ROM from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424 and my cmd shows this:
https://imgur.com/a/q9kkrjq
or you can check the attached image.
I can't really remember clearly what I've done to get to this point, but something like trying to flash kernel and I switched the file format in twrp to F2FS but then it shows unable to mount /system so I wiped /system completely (yes it shounds stupid but I did it.)
ADB shows nothing attached no I can't seemed to flash anything like twrp
After that there's pretty much nothing left in the phone not even a single folder. Forever stuck and fastboot mode, bootloader is still unlocked, no recovery. Nothing else.
SO... is there any hope beyond this point? Or maybe I should approach shops for fixing?
