[Q] 4G Xoom - Gonna sell need help getting back to stock

Its been a wonderful ride with my Xoom but the day has come to sell this wonderful device and I need assistance getting it back to Stock
I am running Team EOS JOP40D Nightly 169 ( havent updated in awhile )
How would I go about getting this back to Stock Verizon so I can sell ( as Im sure whoever I sell it to will ask for it to be that way )
Any help with links would be great.

You can find the stock roms here
forum.xda-developers[DOT]com/showthread.php?t=1049485
You need to have fastboot and motorola drivers to flash the stock imgs to the xoom.

How much are you selling for?

Follow these steps and it will be like new out of the box. Remember to take your sd-card and sim card before you sell it.
4G Xoom Restore
Steps:
1. Download the zip above
2. Create a folder on your PC C:\Xoom (that's a Xoom folder on the c drive)
3. Unzip the contents of the restore file into the folder you created so it looks like image
4. Plug in your xoom
5. Click on the Xoom_Restore.bat
when the screen pops up answer yes if you downloaded the correct file, no if you didn't and go back and get the correct one.
6. If you don't have your moto drivers for your Xoom installed answer no and follow the instructions on the screen to install motohelper. Then reboot your computer, plug in your Xoom and allow the drivers to install. Restart this program and answer yes you have drivers installed.
7. Follow the rest of the steps on the program
8. When your Xoom is restored you will have to allow the updates to download and install to get you to ICS.
Good luck and let me know how it works for you.

Hi!
I'm using Prestigio 5000 duo and this method does not seem to work for me. Mostly the script remains in the infinite loop, sometimes it said it completed however there was a mount - no permission error and no rotting was done.
I also tried MTK tools without any luck. Is there any other way?
My version is: PAP5000DUO.V20130419.V1.0.10
Please help! I'd like to create a backup (install CWM) and fix the jumping wifi mac address bug. (apply custom mac address). Rooting is needed.
Thanks!

It seems like I have JB 4.1.1. and this one works for 4.0 only. I'm looking at this solution ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245259 ) but I haven't been brave enough to start it as I first tried to read back the recovery from the phone before flashing the new, it does not work (0% does not move). Also when I cat the proc/mtd file in abd shell it returns an empty list.

Now I was able to read back but cannot download the recovery: SP Flash Tool Error 8038. I have Prestigio PAP5000Duo.
I have MTK6577 scatter file (MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt). Should I press upgrade instead of download? Will it work with only a single recovery file?
Thanks!

OK, I figured out it myself. The process did not work with the scatter file that was provided with the recovery image. Using MTKDroidTools it was two clicks to create one. (/prec/mtd was empty, that was a nogo).
Now it works. Unfortunately mac address changing does not work even with root. I get random every time. What a pity...

And I'd like to update kernel and do other things with franco kernel updater. (Look on google play-costs few bucks).

Solved: stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode

Solved: stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode
So you are stuck on the dreaded " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen and there is nothing you can do to get your phone to start normally or even get to the download screen?
Fret not lads & ladies, I've already gone thru the pain and suffering and have come out new man, and I'll tell you how I did it. Also im starting all the way at linux/mac so everyones included.
First things first, you are going to have to get your computer ready with the right software for it to work.
You will need to make sure you get an original stock rom, make sure your source forwhere you download it is credible, this was my first mistake and why evidently I got myself into this mess.
I'm sure other roms might work that are modified for your device, but I suggest stock, and starting fresh just to make sure everything is up and running.
I am not responsible for your device, it may get bricked if done wrong.
Linux & Mac users first.
1. You will need to downloadable a program called Hiemdall, its a program similar to Odin3 (windows program).
2. You will need to extract the stock rom you downloaded earlier, I suggest to a folder in your desktop, wd will call it "folder1".
3. Now open up Hiemdall in root, (sudo Hiemdall-frontend for terminal) and then make sure device is on and stuck on the " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen, plug it in, then press the utilities tab and detect. ($ Heimdall detect)(terminal users). Make sure you do all this fast because the tablets are kinda funny when they stay connected.
4. Now clickthe Utilities tab then the "save as..." button and save the destination for the .pit file in the same location as the extracted stock rom folder (folder1).
5. Next click the Flash tab, and click browse and locate your .pit file, the one you just downloaded. Next click add under Partition (files), and then change the partion name (On the left hand under patition details) to recovery and browse to the extracted folder (folder1) and click and add the recovery.img and press start.
Now if all went well your tablet will have restarted itself and you have seen the logo (Samsung). but the chances are it wont load past that screen, but thats ok because now you can get your device into download mode and re-flash the whole rom. Do this the same way you did the recovery.img, but make sure you add each new one to the correct name in the partitions details section.
Now if this didnt work, then dont worry you can still join the windows crew and do it hat way. Simple download a program called virtualbox and get a windows xp iso, thats up to you to figure out as I deal with open source only O.S
So aftr you do that just load up the virtualbox with windows xp and follow below. I found it a bit easier as well.
Windows users....
I found this way to be pretty simple and straight forward,
1. Download Odin 1.3 (1.85 wasn't working for me)
2. Download the clockworkrecoveryMod
3. Open up Odin and browse in the PDA section for the CWM you downloaded and add it, next plug in your device and the box should turn yellow on the top left.
4. Press start and let it finish and reboot your device and you should now be able to boot into CWM and re flash a rom, or if you were smart just restore from a previous backup and get all the apps and stuff back too.
I dont know why cwm worked but it did so no complaints, just make sure you go into cwm and backup your device and with titanium (google play app) before you start playing with the root.
I did this and it worked for me, so hopefully it did for you. Im sorry if it didnt but dont get down, j6st be patient and ask and someone will help.
The key is getting the recovery.img to flash on I believe and maybe the cwm has it built in the package, im sure someone can shed some light on it.

If you can reach to the CWM recovery mode: Download firmware in zip form, you can get it from the below link. if you have a zip file leave it.
After obtaining the firmware copy to your external sdcard using a card reader or any other method
In recovery mode select "Instal zip from sdcard" then select "choose zip from external sdcard" then select the copied firmware zip file from the list and wait for completion
After completion go back and select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" reboot . it will take some time for reboot atleat 15min. it worked for me. hope it will work for you. good luck

Hi! Do you still having the CWM and Odin 1.3?

Hi.. I was experiencing this problem. Then without even thinking deeply, I try google any solution regarding this matter without referring to this thread first. I found this guys solution as he said it is for all samsung model.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfgq6bYfKLg
After done flashing, my tab giving a samsung logo and went off until now. I was unable to enter the recovery and download mode. I try to connect the tab with PC but it kept reconnecting repetitively although universal samsung usb driver has been installed. Any idea how to solve this?

Install SetCPU app
Download the file Setcpu.txt from here
Paste it into the root of your SD Card
Open SetCPU, first change the governor from "conservative" to "performance2"(This is the most important thing)
Click on options button(three dots) and then click Device Selection
Select Custom Frequencies
Now Set Min frequency to 48 MHz and Max frequency to anything according to your preference(Now you'll have the choice of setting the frequency upto 1.5 GHz)
Note:
When you wan't to conserve more battery lower the Max Frequency(while browsing or listening to music maybe) and when playing HD games up the Max Frequency(Most games will run perfectly with even 1200 MHz)
48MHz of Min frequency will give more battery in in standby mode.
Try not to Clock the CPU above 1.2 GHz for a long time as it could cause heat issues. The governor itself should speedup everything for you.
Low Internal Memory
The fact that our devices have only 1.51 GB of Internal Storage limits the capabilities of our devices. Especially with HD Games.
I recommend using GL2SD for games at the moment.
Get used to using the app, its pretty easy..

Ok guys,This the first and last time I am posting this....
To unbrick ur tab......
1. Post what u did
2. What is wrong with the tablet according to your understanding
If you want to be helped the above two points really matter........
3. See this link
4. All info about unbricking various types of bricks can be found on the thread....
5. Also i would suggest you go through the thread fully and understand every detail
6. Another alternative for you guys would be Karbonn service center, But I feel it is useless as they take minimum 30-45 days to repair things
7. The method i mentioned is the first one,sdcard one
At this moment we have an experimental unbrick package with us thanks to developer @fuser-invent
This package is to be used in the STEP 3 of SOFT BRICK UNBRICK SDCARD method
Step 3
This only works if the first method completed far enough to allow you into the Stock Recovery or if the Alternative Methods worked and you now need to install the correct firmware.
0. Restore your SD card back to normal capacity with the SD Formatter software. This can take a long time, be patient. Choose the following options:
- FORMAT TYPE -> FULL (Overwrite)
- FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT -> ON
1. Get THIS firmware package
2. Download the above zip extract the above zip to the root of an empty sdcard( less than 2gb ). It should look like this all four files should be in the root of the sdcard.
3. Just FYI, the zip folder among those four files is the stock rom ( it has boot.img,bootloder.img,system,recovery.img,aml_logo.img,logo.img )
Also this package is a recovery package for soft bricks....
4. Put the sdcard in your tablet
5. Hold down the Power and Vol - buttons to enter the Stock Recovery
6. Flash your firmware package and reboot the tablet.
7. If it worked, either plug your tablet into the computer and use USB mode or shut down your tablet and remove the SD card, then remove the "u-boot.bin" and "uImage_recovery" files from your SD card.
8. Boot back into recovery and make sure that the firmware package correctly installed the Stock Recovery on your device.
Your tablet is now back to it's original Factory Settings.
6. For furthur assistance see this link
7. If you are successful plz report back...........it will help others

As 2012katas said, it's very important to go to the thread he links in #6. Yes, it is a HUGE thread, but it is detailed for a reason. 99% of your questions will be answered in that thread.
For example, the thread clearly says to use the ELF2 rescue image and the USB image tool to prepare your card first, then delete the ELF2 files from it and replace them with the files for your tablet. It also says that if that doesn't work you can try the SD Formatter software with my suggested settings to try and prep your card. I have no idea if the package will work until someone tries it the correct way and reports back.
On another note. If it doesn't work the first time, try to delete the u-boot.bin file only and then try again. Also mentioned in the thread, some people need to press and hold the power and vol- buttons and then when the tablet starts lighting up, start pressing the power button repeatedly, but that is rare.
As for the people with deep bricked tablets (showing the M3/M6 chip), you don't have anything to loose at this point so you best bet is to download the ST10_20121129.zip package, remove the patch.zip and update.zip, put the ST8 v2 firmware package zip I made in that folder, edit the config_progress.xml so the firmware package name is correct and no longer called update.zip, delete the part for the patch.zip, renumber the remaining steps, zip the whole thing back up and load it into the AML USB Burning software.
That might work or it might not work. You have to intelligently experiment because there is no official release for the tablet. Also you will notice that in the unbricking thread I say that if you can get the tablet showing some signs of life after the M3/M6 chip deep brick, you can then move to the SD card method. So if the usb_spl.bin and u-boot-orig.bin for the ST10 work with the ST8 to at least get the tablet out of M3/M6 mode then you could use the SD card method.
Lastly, to 2012katas, I'm rarely on XDA so if you have more questions, I see them more often on DragonDevs. You seem into this Dev stuff and smart, so feel free to get in touch to troubleshoot more.

[Q] irulu x7 update

The manufacture for my tablet an irulu x7 running 4.4.2 posted an update that is a zip file containing PhoenixCard & and img file with instructions on how to use it to format the sd card. I followed all of the directions and it says that it finished. The SD card still appears to have no files in windows, when I put the sd card into my tablet and boot up it is supposed to automatically start the install of the new rom (don't have to go into recovery). Of course it does nothing and just boots up normally.
So is there something else I can do another program to get the img onto the SD card they way it should be, or another way to install the img file to the tablet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

post the zip file here then i will explan the rest

Please Help
If you still have the rom for this tablet may I have it The tablet my family owns was rooted by me and one of them uninstalled system apps to free up space wihtout knowledge of what they were doing.
I can go online, but cannot use google play or my volume buttons or even open my downloads app, let alone the errors googleplay and googleplay services keep popping up every 5 seconds and my keyboard has to be re-installed every time I boot up.
I also get a com.google.gms as well as google.gapps error every opnce in a while. I am hoping this rom if you have it will fix it.
