[Q] Rooted Xoom Stuck on Bootloader - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, I rooted my Xoom MZ601 a while back using this method. I installed the Team EOS XOOM ROM and is updated to the latest nightly build. I want to return to stock following these instructions from thr MOTO Dev Site. The only thing is I can't even get into the Bootloader. I've tried doing it manually on the Xoom itself and also through ADB. It restarts and shows the "Dual Core" screen, then I get the "Starting Fastboot protocol support." message and that's as far as it goes. I have to do a hard-restart to get it back operational. Any ideas how I can fix this please?
Thanks

ADB is the wrong method for flashing back your image files.
You have to use fastboot. LOL it even says on it the website http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/
Instructions to Flash & Re-Lock Your Motorola XOOM:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock

Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

Ok thanks, I issued the commands within the folder that I extracted the files into, now it just says <waiting for device >. The Xoom isn't doing anything. It is set to USB Debugging mode and is connected directly to the motherboard USB's. Any ideas? Thanks

Sorry and thanks

No worries, I've done it thanks

You have to be in the bootloader. Since you're using TeamEOS rom hold down the power button, click on restart and goto bootloader. Then try them again.

[Q] Xoom stuck on starting RSD mode 2?

Flashed Build HWI69 for US Retail on a Canadian wifi MZ604 xoom..tired of
waiting for 3.1 update.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
adb reboot bootloader
Xoom will then reboot into bootloader screen
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
It is stuck on Starting RSD mode 2.
I can not get it to fastboot protocol...device does not turn off.
Any solutions?
Fastboot OEM lock is where you went wrong. Anyway see this thread.
OK I did this procedure yesterday but did not relock (I know it says to on the moto site but the guide I read said not to).
Anyway, pressing power and vol up will force a reboot. Unsure what will happen when it boots back up though...!
You should be fine. Only trying to relock will cause this error.
To get back to fastboot after a bad lock do this.
Power button and volume up, this will reboot the device.
As soon as the screen turns back on holds down power and volume down. In about 60 seconds your device should go to fastboot. Do not let go until it gets there.

Thanks for the reply . It now says Failed to boot LNX 0X0004
Starting Fastboot protocol support
However it will not connect to xoom.
<wait for device> when issue fastboot command.
What the hell is going on?
you need to read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108518
The exact thread I linked to...(-__-)'
I followed instruction from motorla dev support site.
"h**p://developer.motorola.com/products/software/?pubid=987654"
It uses command "fastboot oem lock"! So why did locking brick the device?
here it is:
Device Software Images
Select the appropriate device software image to download and re-lock your device. If you need to find your build number on your Motorola device go to Settings and About Phone or About Tablet.
The commands to flash and re-lock your device are as follows:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Note: If no userdata.img file is present in your download, please issue the command:
fastboot erase userdata
The Moto instructions are for locking the device back to it's own image. You are not using your device's own image. Every guide I've seen on here tells you not to relock, regardless of what Moto say. Believe the devs.
Thanxs
I now believe the devs......
Thanks for the reply. Sent the beast out to moto Canada today.

Try making or obtaining a factory cable which its different from an OTG cable. Start with the two links below. This might save the day.

Help with Fastboot

Basically, my xoom has been rooted and currently I have CynogenMod9 RC0 Wingray currently installed.
I wanted to install a new rom but I couldn't do this using CWM Recovery as the SD Card doesn't Mount. Upon doing some reading I found I need to install the Rogue (or EOS) Recovery image. This is where my problems begin as I can connect to the device when the xoom is fully booted in the CM9 and connected via debugging mode(running adb devices returns a sequence of numbers ).
But then when I reboot into the bootloader it gets stuck on "Starting Fastboot protocol support." and i can't connect via adb!!!
I believe this started happening after I unlocked the bootloader but i can't be 100% sure (fastboot oemunlock)
Please help!!!
When it is on fastboot mode you can only use fastboot commands (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) that is how you would install the recovery image from rogue or EOS or TWRP, whichever you choose.
Or to make it easier, you can boot your tablet, install GOO Manager. When you open the GOO manager, tap the setting in the top right corner and choose Install Open Recovery script and let it install TWRP. Then boot to recovery.

Update Xoom which has a test-keys release?

Hey guys,
I got this Motorola Xoom from a friend that he wanted updated. He got the Xoom from a contact in Motorola. The thing is nothing shows up in software updates, then I checked the version number
trygon-userdebug 3.1 HMJ37 124251 test-keys
I figured test-keys release won't get the ota notification. I want to update it to Jellybean, so what options do I have? Official JB is preferable but if there's no way out of this then I can root.
I'd like to add, I have no clue which Xoom this is. It is 32gb, has some sort of slot on top(not sure simcard or what). And I can't find the model number anywhere on the body or in settings.
I connected to PC and saw MZ604. I'm checking out the images section now.
Ok I assume I can download a stock image and then put them files in the fastboot folder and flash via these commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock

My bad! Apologies.
I used a European Image and flashed it successfully. It was a Honeycomb image, I updated it a lot of times till it reached 4.0.4. Hmm, so there's no jellybean yet for people running European Firmware I read. Another issue was play store kept saying server error.
I googled the Server Error and sorted it is. Thanks guys!
I can understand this is very old post. But I see you said you sorted this by using European Image and flashed it successfully. can you tell me which European image you used ?

Bricked Moto G - Need help urgently!

So, I am in the middle of trying to fix my Moto G that is bricked/bootloop.
What happened is that I "accidentally" factory reset my phone using Philz Touch Recovery, after I did that, my phone wouldn't boot. After doing some research on the interwebs I found that since Philz is based of CWM it also deleted the /os folder, so I had to install a custom ROM to fix it. I did install 2 different ROM's twice each (CM11 and Carbon) and still am stuck in a boot loop. (I wiped cache and data .etc before I installed) I have no idea what to do, please help me!

Try to flash your recovery again, IF you cannot get back into recovery..which ever one you are using, flash again and go into the recovery in order to erase cache/dalvik..if you do erase cache/dalvik and still in a bootloop, then most likely you'll need to flash a new/undefiled OS..
There is a chance that a flash of OS could be done without loosing all your data, but a custom FXZ would be needed..
Go down this list and find your device OS..and download..and flash the new/fresh OS..this list is factory FXZ's which will erase your data..
I personally prefer TWRP recoveries..

OK..if you erased cache..then that's all you can do with that..
Reflash your recovery..make sure you have a known good recovery for your particular device..if reflash recovery and still a bootloop..then flashing a clean/fresh OS is the only thing that is left..of course you certainly deserve a second opinion..
If you are concerned about loosing all your data..then there is a way to flash a new/clean OS without erase your data..BUT..it takes a special modified FXZ to do so, and get your device back up..

Bro, try flashing TWRP, it's easier (my opinion) to use... Do you have the .zip of CM11? If yes, make a Factory Reset and install CM11. If it still in a bootloop, instal the stock firmware.

Alright, how am I supposed to sideload the .img for TWRP?
Just download TWRP and flash using your current recovery.. Also you could try going into advance in TWRP and clicking fix permissions..
If you cannot flash a new Recovery using the recovery already on the device.. Flash with adb.
Download a new recovery using a PC.
Place the .IMG into your fastboot folder.
Rename the recovery 'recovery.img' without quotes.
Boot into bootloader.
On your PC hold shift and right click the folder your fastboot is in and select to start your cmd directory their.
A command window should open and type...
"Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

I will try and make this simple as possible, this process will get your device back to stock if you are able to get into fastboot mode.
- Step 1: Put device into fastboot mode.
- Step 1a: Run ADB and check for devices.
Code:
adb devices
- Step 1b: If ADB cannot see the device unplug the USB and plug it back in.
- Step 1c: Run ADB and check for devices again, if device is detected in ADB move to step 3, if not continue on to step 2.
Code:
adb devices
- Step 2: If ADB does not detect the device unplug the USB
- Step 2a: Restart the device in fastboot mode
- Step 2b: Plug USB back in
- Step 2c: Run ADB and check for devices, if device is detected in ADB move to step 3.
Code:
adb devices
- Step 3: Start the flashing process with ADB using your systems firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
- or run the bat file for your firmware.
- Step 3a: If you get errors or hang ups at anytime during the flashing process after recovery.img make more than 1 attempt to run the command in ADB. I have the XT1034 and my sparsechunk2 and 3 along with erase cache and erase userdata likes to hang up and then fail but I am still able to fully restore my Moto G. I hope this helps.

First of all run the adb setup file and press (Y) all 3 times.
Next unzip the twrp.zip folder. Then flash the twrp recovery by using the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" command. Make sure phone is in fastboot mode.
Next boot the phone into the recovery and select advanced. Then click on terminal command and navigate to the /sdcard/ folder. Lastly click "select" on the bottom right corner.
Now download whatever rom and gapps you would like to install on your phone and rename them to something short. Then open a command prompt at the directory where the rom and gapps are. In the command prompt enter these commands "adb push NAMEOFROM.zip /sdcard/" and "adb push NAMEOFGAPPS.zip /sdcard/".
The command prompt will not show change for a few minutes. After you notice the command prompt is ready for the next command it is okay to exit it.
Now just flash the rom and gapps normally and hopefully your phone will be okay.
**BTW the adb setup program makes adb and fastboot accessible from any directory even without the actual adb and fastboot files.

Stuck at "Launching flashstock.bat"

So I had an old Nexus 5 running a custom KK rom. I tried getting it back to stock using Wugs Toolkit. I've been playing with it for hours trying to get it to work. I ended up making it worse and it gets stuck on Google Logo now. I tried using the revert to stock option on the toolkit. It looks like everything is working.. Here is the log..
Connectivity Status: Fastboot Device Connected
+ Confirmed: Bootloader Unlocked.
fastboot getvar product
product: hammerhead
finished. total time: 0.001s
Launching flashstock.bat
and then it just stops.. I tried downloaded two seperate .tgz images from Google. They both do the same thing. It doesn't go out of the bootloader screen or anything. It writes the radios and that's about it.
This is a *very* high-level suggestion - there are many tutorials that take you through drivers/ADB, etc. I just want to give you the script I followed for the manual procedure, which turned out to be extremely quick and simple.
After suggesting Wugfresh's NRT to several people in these forums (I'm a very big fan) I decided to refresh my Nexus 6 with the latest image and make it unencrypted - a problem that doesn't exist on the N5. I wasn't sure that NRT would do this for me, since the script automatically restarts the device and I wanted to be sure that it didn't start before I had flashed a modified no-encrypt boot image, since it would just encrypt itself again. So I downloaded the factory image, a no-encrypt boot image (thanks, doitright ) and TWRP - naturally being very careful to get the right ones. I unzipped the TGZ and the image files down to their final *.img components. To make things simple I renamed the various images to one-word names (e.g. radio.img). I put all of them in the same directory as ADB & fastboot.
Since all Nexus devices are updated the same, this should also work for you. Since you've used NRT I'm guessing that you have the PC drivers already installed. You'll also need ADB/Fastboot. Switch on USB debugging, connect the N5 to your PC, and in a CMD window type these commands:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot -w flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot reboot
Some of these may be overkill (I believe the -w wipe command erases userdata anyway), but it worked for me.
I would say take a TWRP image first as well so that you can recover, but it sounds as if you have nothing to recover anyway.
If the more expert member want to suggest amendments to the script, I won't be insulted...

Switch on USB debugging, connect the N5 to your PC, and in a CMD window type these commands:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot -w flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot reboot

USB debugging means nothing if you're trying to use fastboot.

Hey, sure, I didn't mean to "attack" you. I noticed that you wanted to help. Really. Thanked you for that.
No worries, beekay. Posts don't allways mean what they look like, which is why we have smilies.
And I did read the articles. I tried with my N6 to attach it in bootloader mode with no USB debugging, and you're absolutely right. I suppose I just read "Remember to switch on USB debugging" so often that I assumed it was needed for any sort of work. Thanks for the tip. It's things like this that encourage all of us to try new things - like flashing a ROM manually instead of with NRT...
This problem occurred to me when I updated Wugfresh NRT to 2.0.6.
So I return back to 2.0.5 and this problem solved.
Try using NRT 2.0.5 to see if the problem solved or not

Toolkits don't teach people stuff, they just hide it from them

While replying to another thread asking for help in installing a ROM, I linked to this, and I notice that the OP never did tell us if he managed to get his device working. Feedback is not only helpful to the forum, it's also polite.
So bump for gregs1213's attention...
