Step 1 | Pre-requisites:
Be on the Stock RUU and be rooted (have superuser flashed). No other ROMs are supported, Fresh ROM will not work regardless of what you have read elsewhere.
How am i suppose to have it roooted with superuser flashed...?
nvm it said exception but... i did parts of it and then i ran controlbear exe
and its comming out like
Waiting ADB.... (41/60)ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
and lastly
Waiting ADB.... (60/60)
Test 2: Booting FAILED
Reboot device manually
Reboot command failed!!
Bootloader unlock failed?
Press ENTER to exit.....

I tried with htc dev and then i got stuck on step 12... it said mine failed

do you have adb and fastboot files installed?(sdk tools)
if yes go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot
put there the unlock token.bin code
open the command window there and then do the command

C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.154s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)

still not working...

make sure that you have htc sync and htc drivers installed

Hi,
Windows 7 & 8 drivers are HERE
Sometimes it takes more than one go.
Keep trying.

I thought you're supposed to un install htc sync... Okay I'll try again

I tried and it goes like
Android USB Devices>Android Composite ADB interface
then i press update so then i browse for the windows 7 driver
and in the end it comes out as "Window has determined the driver for your device is up to date."
Android Composite ADB interface
and for the HTC dev one, i have a sensation with Virginmobile Canada
So im suppose to click on all other supported devices right?
edit`````
well i uninstalled htc sync and everything else
then reinstalled htc sync (FULL)
no matter what i try i still get

[Q] Bricked Xoom, flashing not working. HELP!

I believe I'm bricked, and when I installed the moto stock .img and tried to flash them, I get an <unknown error> in command prompt. Please help me! can anyone give me some step by step instructions for a fix? thanks!
This may be a dumb question but I need to ask, are you using adb and can you get into fastboot?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
This is how I unbricked my xoom it will take you back to stock 3.0, then you will have to wait for the over the air updates before you can root again. Any questions, please ask. I have bricked my xoom a few times. Lol.

Yes I'm using adb, and yes, I'm in fastboot.
you must be in bootloader for fastboot commands(adb reboot bootloader)
put 4 stock .img files in platform-tools or tools(from where you are running fastboot)
that should do it.
needless to say your your bootloader must be unlocked for fastboot commands.
.................
the commands are given at motodev website.

I expect that you have copied all contents of "tools" folder to platform-tools folder.
Your bootloader must be unlocked to accept commands.
check the result of fastboot oem unlock.
Second : when xoom is not in bootloader mode type adb devices and check whether serial no of xoom is displayed.
Also recheck that you have java dev kit.
You may uninstall and then reinstall android sdk.
More than that I can not think of problem.
May be someone else.

I have copied all of "tools" into platform tools. However, I cannot check adb devices, because I cannot leave the "Dual Core technology" screen. It's stuck on that. I cannot even enter recovery mode! I will attempt to reinstal java dev kit, and android SDK. And I will post my reply on how that works. Thanks for your patience with me. I'm just quite frustrated nothing has worked so far...

Got it to work. I Google'd my issue, and I came up with a few possible issues. 1 being the usb cable, and the other being the usb port. Mine was a stock cable, so that wasn't the issue. But when I plugged the usb cable into the back of my pc (directly to the motherboards usb's) it worked, and I did not encounter the "command write failed"! successfully flashed the boot and system... ect img. and now my xoom is working!

Problem installing Touch CWM Recovery

Hi there,
I'm trying to install CWM Touch Recovery, but i'm running into problems.
here's my scenario:
HTC Sensation 4G S-OFF, Rooted. Currently using Virtuous Sensation XE ROM
I downloaded the .img recovery image AND the Windows ADB Files
Installed the Naked ADB Drivers successfully
ADB detects my device. Successfully rebooted into bootloader mode via ADB.
Typed 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' and got this:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (4876 KB)... OKAY [ 1.348s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.665s
I thought this was related to rooting and such, so i booted back into Android. I'm Using SuperUser 3.0-beta4 and updated to my binaries to 3.0.3.2, but i still get the same error.
What am i doing wrong? Can you guys help me?
You also can't read the forums rules.
This goes in Q&A

wasn't i suppose to do that after i finshed the whole wire process and then it boots as jsut a status bar then i run that
then i do the "root" one after?
edit:
well i just installed 4ext and then just flashed the recovery from the app so i guess i fixed my problem
Do you mean that you installed 4ext updater and then used it to install the recovery?
If yes then put the rom zip in the root of the sdcard
go to bootloader then recovery and flash the rom

Ok, first be sure that your Bootloader is unlocked, on dialer type:
*#*#7378423#*#* -> Service info -> Configuration -> Rooting status :
Bootloader unlock done
Then download TWRP form here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767112082
To boot into fastboot mode, you should turn the M2 off and connect it to your computer using a USB cable while holding down the Volume Up button with the other end of the USB cable already connected to the computer, the led light should turn into blue.
Flash the TWRP recovery running:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/the/twrp.img

My problem with flashtool was that I couldn't unlock my bootloader, It was some folders and files that made me unable to do it. Try to find on YouTube "Fix bootloader on Flashtool", something like that, probably you will find... It's simple to fix. Hope I have helped.... Sorry about my English!
