Relock US Xoom Tiamat 1.4.4 resulted in hanging at Motorola logo

Hey guys I was having some problems with my xoom's wifi on Tiamat's 1.4.4 so i decided to relock the device and use stock.
It's a US model and had build HMJ37 but i decided to follow this thread
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/mot...4600-thinking-about-unrooting-read-first.html
I downloaded img build HRI66 and followed all the steps and it was ok. Then, i rebooted and now my device is at the motorola logo's dual core screen. Everytime i manually reboot with power and volume up it automatically reboots the device instead of shutting it down, it literally won't shut down and keeps hanging at the moto logo. It just keeps rebooting and getting stuck at the motorola logo. I then unlocked again, and performed the same process with the HRI39 img and still got the same problem
So im stuck. Please help me out guys, i'm in serious ****.

So you have gone as far as the "fastboot erase cache" and "fastboot oem lock" right? This is kind of funny because I tried to install Tiamat 1.1 ROM tonight and ended up going through this HUGE loop of problems.
Here's the problem I had: some time ago I installed ROMManager from the market. I thought it would be easier. It SHOULD be easier. I let it update my recovery to its own version 4.something. It allowed me to SORT OF install the ROM, but I wound up with some persistent system files that weren't getting wiped and a bcm4329.ko version mismatch.
This stumped me for a long time because all I could see was an "Error" message where I was supposed to be able to toggle the wifi on and off. I tried rolling back to my previous ROM. No go. And the culprit the whole time was ROMManager's CWM.
I tried rolling back my recovery.img file to the Tiamat version recommended in this forum. I kept getting all of these crazy "could not mount" errors for pretty much EVERYTHING. I thought my recovery partition was effed. So I rolled back to stock. Followed pretty much the same instructions you linked to.
From there I was able to boot into the stock OS. WiFi worked. I breathed deeply for a minute or two then dove right back in.
If I was in your position I would (and I did, though not from a boot loop) boot into fastboot and unlock the bootloader again. You can do it by holding the Vol down key as the device boots. When fastboot loads type "fastboot oem unlock". Press the Vol down key then the Vol up key. Do that again. Your device is unlocked now! Hooray!
Now you need to install a recovery.img. (I just did this too.) Get the .img file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
Boot into fastboot again. Put the recovery img file you downloaded into the same directory as your adb and fastboot executables (if you haven't already linked to them in your PATH). Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-lotsofstuffhere.img". Type "fastboot reboot". 2 seconds after the Motorola logo pops up press the Vol Down key. Then press the Vol Up key to enter recovery.
Ok, here's where I found out what a dumbass I was. I got all of the stupid "can't mount anything" errors again. I thought, HOLY ****. I just did all of that work, spent hours troubleshooting and reformatting and bringing it back to stock and flashing the custom recovery all over again just to run into the SAME error. I really thought I was screwed. Then I found some forum where a guy was complaining about the same error. He realized he was getting it because his sd card was half-way out. I thought - "SD CARD?!?" Some guys told me I needed one earlier too, but the ROMManager CWM didn't require it. It just screwed up my system files. So I popped one in and rebooted. Voila. Everything's kosher. If YOU have the same problem, make sure you've got an SD card in.
Ok, so now you're in recovery. You'll need to flash an OS of course. If you haven't already got it, get Tiamat 1.1 rom. Put it on the sd card. Wipe data/factory reset. Install zip from sd card. You're golden. At least I was. 5 hours later.
-Mike

Hey Mike I'm gonna give this a go. Just when i downloaded the img file to flash through fastboot i got an error saying battery was too lower to perform the recovery....damn it! The xoom isn't able to charge at the moment so i have to wait until it dies i guess (or i hope at least) and then charge it up and try again later.
Thanks again dude, hope i sort this out too. I'll download tiamat 1.1 in the meantime.

DUDE YOU'RE MY ****ING HERO!!!! I got it running can't say if everything is 100% just yet but the fac tthat im back in is enough to thank you so very much Mike!!! What a guy!

It worked? Great that's excellent news. Just out of curiosity - did you get there because you had ROMManager's ClockWorkMod? Or maybe you didn't do a full wipe before flashing a new rom? Or maybe you restored some WiFi settings with Titanium Backup after a new flash? How did you wind up with tthe problem in the first place - you know, for posterity.

well to be honest i am not 100% sure. I think the source of the problem msut have come from my previous installation of tiamat's 1.4.4 rom, it was always actin up on me and i don't believe i wiped the mod before i updated it and that may have done it. I wish i could give you more than just a pseudo answer.

Normally, I'd agree but in this rare case, he actually needed it to fully drain because he couldn't get it to power off using any normal method. Weird! so, it seems his only shot was to let it die to finally kill the screen and then start over. Very odd...

You are right...I had forgotten that from the OP. Very strange indeed.

Yeah I dunno why, my xoom was just acting up. It's fantastic now, albeit the wifi still has a couple kinks but android market issues have been resolved, i get much better streams and with tiamat 1.1 everything is already built in and with a quickboot option =)
Xda...where would i be without you!

You should be able to reboot the device using vol up + power, then holding vol down and vol up until it says "Cold booting Linux.....".
This should do the same as letting the battery drain, plugging it in and turning it on.

DeeJay - dunno if you've done this already, but if you haven't you should go back to the Tiamat 1.1 thread and find the Modpack. It fixes the Market update issue and gives you built-in screenshot capabilities and an option to reboot into recovery from the power off menu. It's in there - you just have to scroll down a bit before you find it.
Also - what issues are you having with WiFi?

Thanks for that important tidbit, solarnz. I'm going to file it away for future use.

OMG!!!! Dude you just saved my life! I thought my baby was out the window. I had the exact same problem as you did. I was trying everything from every thread that had anything to do with this problem. I just finished installing and it booted. WHEWWW!!!
Thank u thank u thank u!!

Glad it helped. I'm seeing all kinds of posts in here about the ROMManager CWM. Not good.

[Q] Is Infuse(current version) installing or is Phone Bricked???

I am def a newB and have taken the plunge into custom roms. I followed the directions to installing Infuse with modded 3e recovery and cwm going to rom mgr and doing the download and now my phone is just displaying "SAMSUNG" across screen its been about 10 minutes. Question is, is the rom installing or is the phone bricked and what are the signs of a brick? How would long does a wiped Infuse download usally take?

It shouldn't take that long

So how would i know if the phone is bricked???

take battery out and try turning it on again after putting it back in. if it starts booting and you get the lady talking, your good, but if it just sits there, you most likely have a brick.
No worries though. Just follow these steps to get back to stock and your golden:

once your back to stock you can flash the community kernel via odin:

Once this is done, your rooted (just need to download superuser from market), and you have been lagfixed(with the lady talking on boot) and you have CWM to flash roms easily (accessible via: turning phone off, holding down volume buttons, press power till you see samsung logo, then keep holding volume buttons till red text comes up)
Then you should be back to the game

I really appreciated my heart is racing right now with uncertainty. I havent done what u mentioned but i did hold the power button and volume keys and now I do have access to a red menu that says ClockworkMod recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix. does this mean anything???

the update.zip wont do anything. there's nothing to flash...
Another thing you can try is to flash the rom again, since you have access to red CWM... then if that doesnt work, follow the unbrick procedure

May be dumb question but how do i flash rom from red screen(link???) thanks

Assuming you have the zip for the ROM installed to your internal SD (CWM can't find stuff on the external SD unfortunately...)
Use VolUp/VolDown to navigate through CWM.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset should always be done when changing from one ROM to another. Usually not needed when updating a ROM from a previous version of the same one.
Then choose "Install zip from sdcard" then "Choose zip from sdcard" and navigate to the zip for the ROM.
However if Voodoo Lagfix is interacting strangely with your phone, other steps may be needed.
Good news is that if you can get into CWM, at least your kernel is in decent shape.
For whatever reason I never heard the lady speaking when I installed my ROM, although I may have gone into the other room and done something else.

Well for some reason I cant go to the page with the GTG unbrick download which sucks idk maybe u can email me the zip file [email protected] if not I guess i'll be back once I get home and try to figure this thing out. smh phone down

Thanks Entrophy512 I will give this a try and get back w the results

Entrophy512 followed your directions screen is displaying SAMSUNG you have any idea about how long the phone should be in this state???

Not long
5 minutes ish
is the lady talking??

well yea mine is stuck on that screen for well over 15 mins. guess i have to start at square 1. Does anybody know what this means???

Install TiBu from the market.
Restore user apps + data - don't restore system data. You may in that case still need to put in the info for your Google account, etc and tweak some settings.

Ok im finally up and running. Question what is the proper way to turn the device completely off. I tried yesterday and I see I have an extended power off menu with various options. What do they mean? Yest I chose turn phone off and the phone went to the downloading screen with the big yellow android w the shovel. Again thanks to you all.

[Q] HTC Sensation Stuck at boot screen..Bricked?

Hello all, im fairly new to 'rooting' world and wish my first post wasn't on this, however, i'm not too sure where else to look for help! I believe my phone may be lost, but thought I'd ask before giving up completely. I was running ARHD 3.6.7 rom on my HTC Sensation. rooted, everything working like a charm, til last nite... I d/l and flash the ARHD 3.6.7 Hard Version Brightness Tweak from this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350580. However, instead of going into recovery, I used rom manager ( I've read at times not to use this for certain things, so guessing this is one of em..noob mistake that may cost me my phone). While in rom manager, the following 2 options were checked, which I think is where I went wrong, 1) wipe data and cache 2) wipe dalvik cache. When my phone rebooted, the old 'android' boot image was showing instead of the 'Beats Audio' from the ARHD Rom. This is where I am at. The phone seems to be stuck at reloading this image over and over. I can not boot into recovery by holding the down volume and power. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sholdn't have wiped anything when installing a mod, you need to open your recovery and reinstall ARHD ..if you don't have the .zip on your sdcard then just take it out of the phone and put it into the computer and copy over a .zip
you need to wipe everything before installing the ROM so user the super wipe

Ok, not bricked is great! However, I do have another question. I have a pretty good uderstanding of what to do once in recovery, my question is ' how do I get there?' When I hold the down volume and power buttons, I still boot to the android screen which I am currently stuck on. I have the zip files I need on my sd card, just can't get to em... Is there another way to get into recovery to wipe and reinstall? Again, thx for the help, this is most definitely a learning experience

HAve you tried pulling the battery out, then turning on to recovery

I have tried pulling the battery out, pulling the sd card out, seems like no matter, still loads to android screen. While at this screen, if i hold down power, nothing, phones stays on, if i hold down vol down + power, phone reboots to same screen. Seems like getting into recovery is my real problem...

ARHD doesn't recommend the use of Rom manager if you carefuly read the flashing instructions .further than that I had a problem like that in the past with my HTC desire ,what I did was to follow the unrevoked once again and did everything from the begining eventualy I got the recovery mode and flashed my new rom.maybe be if u follow a similar procedure by reinstalling the revolutionary kit will give u the desired outcome... Maybe sounds a bit odd but it worked for me .I don't think u have anything to lose if u try .your phone isn't bricked though by any means so no worries. Good luck maye

Do you mean you're pressing volume down and power while your phone is already on ?

K, agreed, nothing to loose, gonna give that a go.. I am having detection issues. When I connect to pc, the device 'android phone' is recognized, but I can't access any files, HTC sync, fastboot for example saying no device connected, please check connection. I assume because the phone will not go past the boot screen? Anyhow, gonna try your suggestion. Thanks!

Yes, I have done both. While the phone is off, I have pressed vol down and power with no luck. I have also tried it while the phone was on (trying anything at that point). Still only going to android boot image.
Is there another way to enter recovery if vol down + power while phone is off doesnt work?

HALLELUJA..... Reboot into recovery successful! Not sure why, but after numerous attempt, I got it. Thx for all the quick replies. Wiping and reflashing now!!

When I first tried to root the phone I believe i flashed the wrong radio zip but the hboot is version 1.23.0000 radio version is 10.14.9035.01_M whenever i try to reflash hboot or radio zips i get errors usually (status 7). It still boots into hboot and recovery just fine, but I'm not sure whats wrong or how exactly to fix it, any help would be appreciated. If you need any more information just ask. Thanks

Did you flash an ICS rom without installing the ICS firmware first?
If this is the case, take out your sd card, copy over the ICS firmware to the root of the sd card, boot into the bootloader, and it'll walk you through updating the firmware.

it says
model id incorrect
update fail!
press <power> to reboot.
i think the radio i tried to flash was for a different phone maybe, but it was in a tutorial to root and install arhd the tutorial said you have to update the radio to use ics. any ideas?

"model id incorrect" <- you need to super CID your phone.
Do you have adb running on your computer?

my bad guys i had supercid i hadnt changed it to 11111111 did that re-wiping and flashing now thanks for the help

[Q] Problems of engineering menu HBOOT HTC Inspire 4G

Has bought from the USA of HTC Inspite 4g (AT&T). Wanted to receive Root, S-OFF, Rom manager with ClockworkMod. Has started to do to change an insertion. Has received goldcard. After an overload phone has started to change an insertion. This process proceeded 2 hours (in the end of process there was a black screen). I have decided to overload phone. Has stopped process. After that problems have begun. Root, S-OFF, Clockworkmod I have received. But after reboot of phone it does not work about 10 minutes. 5 minutes at it absolutely black screen, then the white screen with an inscription of HTC simultaneously work 3 minutes the motor, loading of 2 minutes then begins. Process of switching-on or reboot of phone proceeds 10 minutes. Tried to replace an insertion once again. After that changes nothing. Did before setting of an insertion full surep wipe. It has not helped. I still have a problem. I want to enter into engineering menu HBOOT. I push down+power. I wait for 5 minutes (phone so is overloaded). I enter in HBOOT, but thus buttons (volume up and down, power) any more do not work. As to me to receive normal phone. I can not HBOOT make in it recovery. Where to me to take for HTC INspire 4G (AT&T) PD98IMG.zip. Also help me with the instruction. How to apply this file in RECOVERY.

I'm having a hard time with your English (or is it just fed into google translate?).
It looks like you installed the ENG hboot on a later model device that is incompatible.
You need to get it to boot (it will eventually) and put the newer hboot back on it. You can do this through ADB from a console. Here are the instructions:
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/495273/

@ Gene Poole
I had a hard time with his English too, but I understand exactly what he is saying because I did the same thing. I will try to re-explain it and hopefully someone can help us out.
In a nutshell, it sounds like we both flashed an Engineering HBoot starting with a stock US ATT Inspire 4G that came with Gingerbread. Specifically, what I did was I followed a guide on Cyanogenmod's wiki for the Inspire 4G which gave direction to downgrade to Froyo, root, and setup to use eng hboot. This apparently was a huge mistake. After the downgrade, when rebooting or powering on the phone, nothing would happen for a long time (black screen for 5 - 10 minutes, i.e. phone was off), then, screen would turn on with white background and HTC logo and phone would vibrate non-stop for several minutes, and eventually, phone would turn on. After the downgrade and making it to the home screen, I copied CM7 zip on to the SD card and rebooted into recovery via adb. Same exact weird process happened with phone being off for several minutes, then vibrating, then eventually i made it to cwm recovery. After installing CM7 and rebooting, same crazy startup process and made it into CM7 home screen.
I was hoping once CM7 was installed that the crazy startup process would disappear but it didn't. I saw afterwards in a CM forum that this happened to someone else and they had asked if the wiki could be updated to point to the Ace hack kit guide to rooting the Inspire 4g (which mentions that eng hboot shouldn't be used with the phone I had as configured). I then rebooted into bootloader via adb and after crazy startup and fastboot did not work at all (fastboot devices returned nothing). Further still, no buttons work in hboot at all (Vol Up, Vol Down, Power).
At this point, I could still get into the phone, but I wanted to try to undo everything I did and start over using the Ace hack kit. I then tried to use the Ace hack kit to unroot the phone by using the ATT GB RUU. The process seemed to go pretty far, but after a reboot, the phone never came back, and that's where I am currently. If I start the phone, it does crazy startup but never fully boots...stays on white HTC screen forever...which means I can't use adb (to my knowledge). I was able to get to hboot by putting elastics around volume down button and waiting a very long time, but it looks like hboot is still the eng hboot because none of the buttons work and I can't use fastboot. I was hoping that as part of RUU flashing that hboot would be restored to original one. I put the RUU (PD98IMG.img) on SD card, but again I can't get to it because buttons don't work.
So, it sounds like spv4 above is in a very similar boat. I have no idea what else to try. Only thing I can think of is if it's possible to somehow modify an RUU to start automatically when getting to hboot without any user input.
If anyone has any suggestions, I am more than willing to try anything. Thanks very much.
EDIT: So, as I was typing this post earlier, I had been "sitting" in hboot the whole time. When I was done, I looked at phone and PD98IMG.zip was been applied to phone automatically! Don't know if this was common knowledge or not, but everything updated OK. When it was done, hitting the power button to reboot didn't work, but I just removed battery and when putting it back in, phone booted normally back to what looks like stock RUU. Hopefully this info helps someone else.

Great! Glad you got it back, but you could have saved a lot of time.
The main problem is that the ENG hboot (or pre-GB hboots) doesn't recognize something in the hardware of the new phones. The end result is that the hboot runs at about 50x slower. It eventually gets booted, and once booted to an OS (either the main OS or the recovery OS) it runs fine since hboot has exited and passed control to the OS. So anytime hboot is in control, things crawl at a snail's pace.
Because the OS runs fine and hboot has exited, it is possible to overwrite the hboot partition from the booted OS. That's what you are doing in the instructions that I posted a few posts back. Once the correct hboot is installed, all is fine.
I agree that someone needs to update the cyanogenmod wiki. It's way out of date.

I'm currently experiencing the same problem.
I followed the instructions on how to downgrade using a goldcard, successfully rooted and i also flashed TrickDroid on it, but every time i turn the device on i have to hold the power button for 20 seconds and wait 10 minutes till the HTC logo appears, then it takes 2 minutes vibrating and i seriously can't deal with this.
can you please tell me how to fix this?

HELP PLEASE. iM EXPECTING AND EXTREMELY IMPORTANT WORK CALL!!!!!!!!!

edit
I had the hTC EVO Design 4G as pretty much my first Smart Android. (Im not including the LG optimus M). The Switched to the Galaxy note & S3 for a while NOw Im using the HTC one S. I normally never have these problems or ever post on the forums. But Im desperate for fast help. I know how to do everything on both the htc evo 4g and design.
but The Ville is diff. without the removable battery
im blabbering....
let me try to STEPbySTEP explain my steps up to my not working Device.
!. I tried to Flash the Energy_9.07.2012.OneS.zip rom through TWRP at first. (thats was the suggesttion in the thread. So that the recovery would Flash the correct Kernel. But upon reboot. I discovered that contrary to the devs suggestion the WiFi still didnt work. So I flashed CWM through ROM manager. reboot into recovery flash wiped cache/ factory reset. But I dont think I wiped system, data, or anything not in the main Menu, Energy_9.07.2012.OneS.zip and I reboot. Upon reboot the HTC screen had the warning for use in htc do not distribute...then the bootanimation popped up and finally the booted up fine. Wifi was working this time. But now my network wasnt right. I didnt give the rom time to settle in though. I panic and open CMD and ran adb reboot fastboot.
Waited waited
now the boot loader was up. I had to unplug my deviice for the screen to show fastboot usb.
then this is where I think I ****ed up my phone
(I extracted the boot.img from the Energy_9.07.2012.OneS.zip and placed it in my android folder on C I also adb pulled my twrp recovery to
C:\android and renamed to recovery,img I wanted TWRP back I hate how CWM automaticaly boots when you plug it in tp charge from dead)
Now I had in my C:\Android\boot.img and \recovery.img.
I ran the command (im not sure if I ran boot or recovery first)Also my phone was anywhere near a full battery cloase to dead but my CMD window showed complete.
C:\Windows\system32>fastboot flash boot C:\android\boot.img
C:\Windows\system32>fastboot flash recovery C:\android\recovery.img
Now my phone is plugged into my Lenovo Thinkpad t410 with Win7 Pro OEM The red light to the top right isnt blinking like the battery to low to power on notification. Its steady. but when I hold down to turn on either the lights for the capacitie buttons flash untill I let go of the button or I do a combo of plugging in and out the usb and holding the power and volume bottons not sure Which order. PLEASE HELP! iM EXPECTING A PHONE CALL ABOUT A JOB INTERVIEW RESULTS.
In my time in CMD this error did pop up a few times. But I open HTC sync let it load. and then it would work.
C:\Windows\system32>adb reboot device
adb server is out of date. killing...
ADB server didn't ACK

COMMENT, PM, IM, ME I DON'T CARE JUST PLEASE HELP ME AN MY POOR [PHONE] GUARANTEED THANKS BUTTON!!!!!!! USAGE AS FOR HELPING.

why would you flash something made for HTC ONE S if you have HTC EVO
especially when you're just starting to learn about
sorry, but I would guess that you're chance is to find somewhere a ruu for your model

If you hold down the power button long enough the leds should stop flashing. You should try that and then once it goes off, hold down the volume down and the power button.
That should get you back into bootloader. From there you may want to try flashing a custom kernel (the SENSE version of Fusion, for example).
An RUU could help, but you would need to relock your bootloader in order to flash it. You would need to be able to get to your bootloader screen. RUUs are EXE files and are pretty self explanatory when you run them and have your phone connected. See http://www.4shared.com/folder/jKN2qjTl/HTC_Ville_RUU_Collection.html for RUUs. There is also a thread on RUUs in the development thread. Read that too.
But first things first, you need to be able to access your bootloader! Keep fiddling with your power button and volume down button.

can you reboot into recovery/fastboot? press the power button for 5-7 seconds until the keys start blinking;
the phone should reset after it
some RUU, you can find here:

Thanks so much.
