[Q] Xoom 2 p/w locked.... Tear down? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok my xoom 2 has been password locked thanks to my 10 year old brother who doesn't know what the password is.... (oh yay) unfortunately usb debugging wasn't enabled so running any commands to hard reset my xoom is a no go.
I have searched and searched for the last few days with no success in finding a solution so i'm going to have to go beneath the hood and have a play around.
I already know how to tear down the xoom as I've already tried doing a battery pull.
Does anyone at all know anything about the internals that I could pull to wipe the device or return it to stock?
I really don't like the idea that I have spent a few hundred dollars on a pretty looking frisbee.... :-/

I have tried so many times to enter recovery and I can't, I can only get into debugging mode using volume - and power.

you were able to reboot into recovery? if so how because im using a rooted rom altered beast and i can go into recovery only the first time after i ran it through ODIN
Download quick boot from market. Or turn off phone. Hold volume up and home key in then while holding those in hold the power button in. When you see sanding screen let go of power button but not the volume up or home key.

Download the application called quick boot from the market. It has an option to reboot into recovery

If you want a multi-functional widget similar to the power control widget but more with an option for reboot (rooted including recovery, bootloader, etc you can also try
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2&feature=search_result
Widgetsoid. It's a free app, and the developer is pretty good with it.
I havent tried myself, as I just got my charge about an hour ago, and am familiarizing myself with all the development threads...
Anyone lol please

[Q] Power button loose, normal?

Not sure if broken or not but want to make sure this is normal or not. Just bought the Tab 2 today and I noticed that my power button is very loose compared to the volume keys. Is this normal?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Not on mine or the display model at Costco from what I remember.
The power button is a little bit looser, but it is really minimum. Probably because it is smaller and not so solid mounted as the larger volume key.
If you say it is very loose, i think this is not normal.
Mine is very tight, both Volume button & Power button is very tight
Thanks for everyone's answers. I will return it and get a new one. Anyone know where I can look to bring my Tab 2 to full stock?

Does it turn on automatically when you insert the battery?
If it does, your power button is stuck.

During some sort of action such as playing a game or browsing the net the s3 will freeze and will not respond to anything and I will be forced to hold the power button till it restarts.

Yup, me too. Try reflashing the kernel or rom, becauee it could be due to cpu overload or etc.

[Q] Cant enter CWM menu..

My phone can enter cwm just from ROM manager but when i try with hold Power + Volume down + Home botton, it doesnt work..
Need help because i got boot loop, my phone stuck on ROM Logo
Need to know what phone you are running. For the s3 unplug the device hold power+volume up+home. Once it boots let go of the power. You should see blue writing in the top left of the screen. Vol down is for Odin. Hope this helps.

Try fastboot again. Pull out battery to power down, and replace it. Press and hold "home" and "power".

Have you ever accessed fastboot, in the past? Some phones do not have it.

I think your phone may be soft bricked.....but just its my own thinking you may try another procedure also.
