Not able to boot in recovery menu - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I hope I'm not missing something obvious because I spent the last 2 hours searching for a solution.
Today I decided to unlock and root my Motorola Xoom 3G (EU-version, stock-android 4.x).
I unlocked it using fastboot and flashed the CWM recovery. But when I try to enter the recovery menu by pressing volume down when the Motorola logo apperas, it just says "Reading ODM fuse: 1". After that, it shows me a picture with an red exclamation mark.
I have no idea what to do now. Since I have no ADB access, I'm not able to do a "adb reboot bootloader" to flash CWM again.
Do you guys have any clue what's the matter? Thanks in advance

im assuming your xoom still boots up? if so youll still be able to get adb to work, just try flashing cwm again , you can also get fastboot working by turning the xoom on once you see the motorola logo count to 3 then press volume up and itll start fastboot protocol support

Right, I forgot. It still boots up but I can't get through the lockscreen. There's a message saying "device not ready. please enter a valid sim card".

right unfortunately i cant help with regards to sim card error as i own the wifi only model but someone a bit more knowledge able will see this and may have the answer
have you tried putting a sim card in? what does it say if you put one in?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Alright, I didn't mind the branding. With a T-Mobile card, I am able to enter the PIN and use the Xoom as usual.
Before I really mess up, can you tell me what to do next? Unfortunately, I don't have a micro sd card here so I am not able to do the "Universal Xoom Root" ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241 ).

ok so youve unlocked the bootloader using fastboot oem unlock?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Yup, unlocked it is.

ok next step is to push recovery via adb have you tried doing that again?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

recovery via ADB? I tried the CWM recovery image via fastboot last time ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979 ).

yea you connect your xoom to pc let it connect etc etc, then open a command prompt in same folder where your adb files are located then type
adb reboot bootloader
once rebooted into bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery ( name of recovery here)
make sure youve downloaded the recovery image and not the zip file
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Alright I did everything, no errors. But when I boot into the recovery, I still get "Reading ODM fuse: 1" and the exclamation mark...

try a different recovery perhaps? theres a few on here ill see if i can find one i used and post link
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Yes I already thought of using the recovery of Team Rogue but it comes as a zip file, so I can't flash it, right?

cant flash it without entering recovery, im not sure what cauaing the problem , when you hold the power button and you get shutdown reboot etc if you press reboot do you get a second set of option ?? reboot,recovery bootloader etc?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

You mean pressing the power button in normal usage, on the homescreen? I only get to decide whether I want to shut down the device or not. But this wasn't different before I started "flashing".

aah ok must be the rom im on thats got it , im not really sure where to go from here maybe do a factory reset and try again youve unlocked your bootloader though so dnt need to do that again
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Same error with a factory reset... damn whats going on?

i honestly domt know i never had any probs doing mine and i asked my friendmwho has same xoom as you and he never had any trouble so kinda got me stumped lol
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Guess I'll have to wait until someones bringing the big hint But I really thank you for your time. Since I know now that my device isn't completely bricked, you helped me a lot.

not a problem glad i could help even if a little lol

Modaco

So I rooted my device with revolutionary a week ago. I hav modaco 4.0.0.8 installed and am trying to upgrade because ive moticed some roms are requiring it. My problems are that one. I cant go into recovery anymore it gets stuck at the my touch 4g image next whenever I enter the command into terminal e it says not found when o can clearly see thats its in its rightful place. I also have had no lucl w adb I jst cant seem to get it to connect so im not sure what to do anymore. Pleasee help.
Make sure you have fastboot unchecked or turn off your phone and pull the battery for a few seconds. Then turn it on while holding the volume down button. The myTouch screen shouldn't pop up and you should go straight into h-boot from where you can select recovery. If you can't then something didn't go right with your revolutionary process. If it did and you flashed the superuser zip and you can access su from terminal then you can download and install the new modaco recovery through terminal. Let us know what process you're hanging up on and we'll see what we can do to help.
Well I can go into hboot but once I click recovery it'll get stuck at the my touch screen and the problem I'm stuck at is once I type su ane begin entering the command it says the file is not found everytime but when I go into the location using file expert, it displays the .img file so I don't understand why its saying it can't find the file.
Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Can someone go over the the step by step process??
Can you boot normally at all?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App
Yeah I can, everything works fine, I jst can't boot into recovery mode no matter how hard I try. And I can't copy the .img file to the proper location.
You need to push it via adb or term emulator.
Sent from my HTC Doubleshot using xda premium
Tats the problem. Term emulator says the file cant b found even though it is there when i look. And adb just wont interact w my phone. I keep trying to connect it but no luck
Interesting. Idk then. Looks like you got a bad egg.
Sent from my HTC Doubleshot using xda premium
I had the same problem. Look at my first post on this forum and use the fastboot method Etn40ff gave me. I was able to enter the command from adb and it flashed the cwm recovery image like a charm.

I have the AT&T One X... Ive rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, blah blah blah. Im sort of new at this, so when something happens, Im a little clueless. The point of learning, I suppose. Anyway, today I did a factory reset and restored to my earliest backup. The phone booted originally but then said process.android something or other has stopped working. Phone turned off. Now, when I try to turn it back on, it wont go past the boot animation. Its not connecting to my computer to reboot it with a command, either. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and ASAP.

Did you Factory Reset from inside the ROM? Or from TWRP?

From the ROM. Thats when it told me process.android stopped, then went to the htc one x loading screen.
Frankly, my dear, you ****ed up.
Whenever you want to Wipe ANYTHING you have to do it from your recovery (TWRP).
Boot into TWRP by holding the down volume and power, for what seems like a lifetime and try to restore from there?

I finally got to the bootloader! What a relief. Thankfully I work with cell phones, so I had access to this loaner phone so I could find some answers. Maybe one day I'll be able to actually provide some substance! Haha

Now, however, I cant seem to find any ROMs installed on my phone. I know Ive done this somehow before, but how do I get a rom on the phone when the SD card wont mount to my computer?
And when I try to do a factory reset in TWRP it tells me in the dialog: E:Unable to mount /sdcard
Im beginning if this phone and I just werent meant to be. haha
Twrp did the mount thing to me as well. Still plugged USB and PC found the SD anyway. Copied ROM to SD, flash and bingo. Other option is to download the stock RUU.
PS I wouldn't publicly admit u work for at&t. J/k
Well kinda.

My computer still doesnt show any connection to the phone. I tried downloading the RUU and when I ran it on PC, it said it couldnt connect to my phone.
When doing RUU, make sure you relock your bootloader. Instructions here http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-re-lock-htc-one-x-bootloader/
make sure you have HTC Sync and drivers installed if you are flashing RUU.
Also when u get into your bootloader, highlight bootloader and select it. After, right above that, in red it will read fastboot usb. Until then your pc wont recognize it.
It worked! You guys are all awesome!

[Q] Need help with possible hard brick

For starters, if there is already an answer to this question, please point me in the right direction because I have looked all over the forums and cannot find an answer. I was wondering if anyone could help me return my Nexus S 4G back to stock. I was in the middle of using one click stock when my power went out and now my phone just sits at the bootloader saying "fastboot mode-no boot or recovery img" and one click stock does not work.; meaning, it will sit and ask me to put the phone into debugging mode. I have also tried manually flashing the files from fastboot but it sits at sending file but does not flash. Even let it sit at the sending screen for 3 hours but it never flashed.
Maybe a brick. The same thing happened to me once, no img's, fastboot not working and a broken power button. I just got it back from a free repair
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Well, is your bootloader locked/unlocked? and try to do it manually with fastboot, at least you know that things are done correctly.
unlock bootloader is : fastboot oem unlock
lock is: fastboot oem lock
you could try to switch once and try to push the recovery image so you can flash a new rom.
Thanks for the help. I relocked and unlocked the bootloader and it did the trick. I was able to manually flash everything back to the phone
Glad I could be of help

If you don't have fastboot or adb working there's not much to do for your device.... sorry mate. At least other two users had the same issue lately, i wonder what's causing it.
oh good...
what would be the combination to boot into fastboot? i wander if its possible to get into it, and just the screen is not working during boot?

To get in fastboot mode press Volume down + Power and release the buttons when the white text message, you have about having 5 second to press Volume Up shows...if this work you will get to a menu with the "USB icon" which means boot in fastboot mode.
Thanks, couldn't remember which buttons or was, different from my phone XD
Unfortunately I get nothing but vibration from the tablet. Bricked?

soft brick
I had .30 stock & flashed a copy of the JB OTA via TWRP.
I did a full wipe (everything except SD cards (so I thought)
Somehow my micro SD card was wiped, but not the Dock SD card.
Want to guess where my TWRP back up copies were?
I boot flashed TWRP again but it doesn't appear to work with JB yet.
(doesn't see any files on any sd cards).
Next thing I'm going to try to do is fastboot a copy of the .30 blob.
I'm checking out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803343 but it appears that process is dated.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
I have tried various things to fix this, tried booting fastboot, adb etc, but to no success. Can anyone help? I've never seen a problem be too much for xda XD
update: so the device appears too have been on last night, as the battery was dead (no vibration when power button held), I plugged it in, got a vibration to say it's charging. Could it be the screen is actually broken, as in a hardware fault, just with coincidental timing that I was trying to get into recovery?
Thanks

[Q] My friends phone is bootlooped. We can't access recovery.

My friend installed 3e recovery. He later installed CWM. He did a backup, wiped data, dalvic cache, and he also formatted /system. He forgot to plug in the SD card with the ROM zip file, and after rebooting he can no longer access recovery. It just sits on the Samsung screen. Using "adb reboot recovery" makes the phone reboot, but it's still stuck. I'm dont know much about adb, but it will not let us push any files onto the phone.
Edit: When we try going in recovery (holding vol+/- and power) Samsung logo keeps blinking on and off.
Your best bet would be to return to stock, install a custom kernel, copy the file over, and flash after wiping
