Hyundai S800 ICS 4.0.3 8Gb memory 16 GB external sd.
I HAVE ADB COMMUNICATION. Power/vol boots to a blank screen. adb devices gives me device sn and recovery. I have no menu, just blank, back lit screen.
i can adb reboot and it tries to load os but hangs in splash screen.
adb reboot-recovery works and i can push files to sd card.
However, the really important fastboot commands requires bootloader which will not open. I also have a CWM nano backup on the external sdcard which might be of some use.
Question, am I wasting my time since I cannot get into bootloader?? Or is there a way to flash using adb in recovery?
This is a user created bricking via trying to flash custom rom.
i bought this to play with rather than brick my nexus 7. I would give it a B grade as it is a very good tablet for $150.
Thanks

I have rooted android devices such as the htc hero and desire so I have a bit of background. However I tried rooting the nexus s and actually didn't even root the phone. After unlocking the nexus bootloader the instructions I followed said to reboot the phone which I did. However when I rebooted the phone it stays on the Google screen with a lock at the bottom of the screen The only upside is that my phone isn't totally bricked because I can access the bootloader by pressing up and power. Someone please help I will donate if you can get my phone up and running. By the way i'm using the tmobile 3g nexus s.
You need to download a recovery image, and, superuser zip file. Put them on the root of your usb storage You, shouldn't, have rebooted the phone after unlocking the bootloader. The phone doesn't have a custom recovery yet, that's why you are seeing the triangle. Put the phone in fastboot open a terminal and type in fastboot devices you should see a line of numbers then fastboot. Then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (with the name being the ACTUAL NAME of the recovery image you downloaded) then it should say something like writing recovery and then you can put the phone in recovery mode. As soon as the screen turns off unplug it. When it boots into recovery select flash zip from SD Card (yes we don't, have an SD Card it doesn't matter) then locate the superuser zip and select install. Reboot the phone.

When you say type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img with the name being the ACTUAL NAME of the recovery image do you mean that i replace the word recovery with the name of the file or just replace recovery.img with the name of the file?
also i can't transfer it to usb storage because it doesn't show up on my pc
You need to turn on USB storage first. Also the name of the recovery image should be something like recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img (that would be the latest recovery from clockworkmod for our device, (crespo) Nexus S. So you would type fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img
Also once you move the su zip and recovery img to the USB Storage turn off the phone AFTER SAFELY REMOVING HARDWARE AND TURNING OFF USB STORAGE boot into the bootloader and do the above steps typing fastboot devices first to make sure you are connected All Gamer has a really good guide in either Nexus S general or Q&A

vintagetonez; I am almost having the same issue. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed recoverymod but was unable to locate the superuser zip file so I rebooted my nexus. When I tried to start over again and fastboot I'm getting an error with CMD saying its waiting for device. On the nexus when in fastboot mode at the very bottom it says fastboot failsomething or another.
Any suggestions as to how I can get fast boot working again?!

I should also say that I have tried booting in recovery since and clockwork mod is not there anymore. Its the stock android recovery. Is this a driver issue? I can't imagine so since I was able to unlock the bootloader

Is it possible to mount the sd card in fastboot or recovery mode if it is what's the command.

With the Nexus S, you MUST REFLASH recovery every time you need it. There is a way to rename the stock recovery so clockwork mod will stick. However, I prefer to reflash it as I never have to worry about bricking my device. If you want to use the renaming method Google it using XDA Developers as a search parameter.

I figured out what the problem is but I need the system.img file do you no where i can find it in android 2.3.4 i've manually download it to my desktop but can't find the file
My phone stopped reading SD cards and they're going to send me a replacement so I want to at LEAST flash the stock recovery but is this even possible without an SD card? or am I stuck?
i just found out you can flash recovery without an sdcard, using fastboot. you can grab a stock recovery image here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17384145&postcount=7, then fastboot flash it. you might even manage to flash a stock system this way too!
Thank you very much!
wait I just realized, doesn't my phone need to be connected to my computer as a "drive"? My phone won't let me do that unless I have an SD card
No, not for fastboot. The USB access is purely for sending fastboot commands; your phone won't show up as an accessible drive on your PC while in fastboot USB mode.
Hey guys.
Basically:
My brother has a Motorola Xoom 32GB MZ604. He tried to root it but it was unsuccessful. After reboot of the failed root, it will now get stuck on the M boot screen and not move, there's no loop as such, it will literally stay on until it runs out of battery or is turned off by pressing buttons.
Any ideas what's happened and how we can fix it?
He took it back and they want £46 to put new software on.
Thanks
Oli
Can you still enter recovery??
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I believe he can but he said he's already wiped it? I'll try again though when he gets home tonight from work.
I had the same issue when I first tried to root my xoom. Here is what you do:
1) take out the external sd card. And thru pc , put on it the new recovery image and put it back into xoom.
2) search my posts on how to root mz601. I know yours is mz604. But it is the same procedure. I will post steps for you soon.

There you go. Step by step.
First, download the below and put them onto your xoom internal and external SD card. Put them under /mnt/sdcard for internal sd, and under the root of your external sd card.
To download:
• Get the Motorola USB drivers to your laptop: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/
• Get the Android SDK to your laptop: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
• Recovery Image: http://goo.im/devs/teameos/recoverie...ecovery-r6.img
• GAPPS: http://goo.im/gapps, your GAPPs would be: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
• ROM: get the latest release for mz604 from here. http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/nightlies/wingray/
Steps:
1. Power off your XOOM device.
2. Press and hold the volume down button while pressing the power button at the same time. Note: Even if your xoom starts again, just keep the button pressed until you see "Starting fastboot protocol" on the screen.
3. Connect Xoom to your computer via USB.
4. Open a ‘Command Prompt’ or ‘Terminal’ window on your computer in your sdk/tools folder. This is the sdk you downloaded above.
5. unlock your xoom and flash the recovery image. The recovery image should be in your current working directory where you have command line navigated to: Type:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img
fastboot reboot adb
reboot recovery
Now, you have your device unlocked and recovery installed.
Reboot your xoom by selecting the option "reboot system now" from recovery. you can navigate up and down using the volume buttons. Once an option is highlighted, press the power button to select, you will still have your old ROM.
To flash the other ROM downloaded above,
1. Boot into recovery by:
i. As soon as you hit the reboot command above, you should see a Motorola logo appear. Wait 3 seconds and tap the Volume down button and the words Android Recovery should appear on the screen. When you see that, tap the Volume up button and you’ll boot into recovery.
2. From within Recovery, perform wipe data, wipe cache, and go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache and battery stats. Don't worry, if the ROM and GAPPs are deleted, which should not be the case, you will have them on your external sd card
Note: wipe data will delete your stuff on the xoom. It would be great if you backup your files that you need to your external sd card before you start any of this procedure.
3. In recovery, navigate to install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sd card and select the EOS ROM you copied to the root of the SD card. Once the files are flashed, DO NOT reboot afterwards. Hold on.
4. Again, from Recovery, choose install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sd card and select the GAPPs you copied to the root of the SD card.
Then hit reboot system now. It will take 2 - 3 minutes for the first reboot. Setup your google account. and you are good to go.
Later reboots will be much faster (around 40 - 50 seconds).

if it's getting to the splash screen then just as you turn it on, whack it into fastboot then you'll be able to flash new recovery or flash back to stock.

Go here: http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/ to get the stock images to flash in fastboot to get the xoom back to factory conditions. It's normally the last resort, but the most successful. You may need to sign up for an account, but it is free.
Right guys basically i want my xoom to be complete stock what is the best way to do this. can i still use the above steps but by using the default motorola software.. it looked like it was using differnt firmware, and one of the links didnt work. sorry i really dont have a clue what to do and need my xoom back its been away for 3 weeks now
yes you can.. just flash the stock OS for it and you are good to go again.
and whats the best way to do this. sorry im not too sure about rooting on the xooms etc i used that poxy one click root which by the looks of things lots of people have had problems with it.
Rooting is pretty straight forward steps. Use the steps I provided you above if you want. If you are looking to flash stock rom, you still need recovery and stock rom to be flashed.

My mz601 is stuck at booting it keeps going off and booting again
My steps to a factory reset Xoom Wingray
My Xoom Wingray also crashed and was stuck in the boot animation. I still use my Xoom as my alarm clock and music player with multimedia dock. I had to put the Xoom in the drawer as there was no way to turn it off, it would just reboot back to the flashing animation. I was surprised that it wasn't dead by morning and it was still in the boot loop. So I wanted to revert back to the stock ROMs so this is what I just did. This is assuming you have nothing installed on your PC so from scratch. I actually just went through this a hour ago so I am still in the very last step.
First download and install the following:
-Minimal Android SDK from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
-Motorola drivers from http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
Now you need the original images:
You can try to get it from the source here, https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/rom-images , but I had to request access to the files and was impatient.
I found the original images here instead, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64412362&postcount=10
You will need to find the original images for your device, the source in the first link should be able to help you.
Flashing Instructions
I would recommend having the power cord attached throughout this, but if your Xoom is fully charged it should be ok.
Assuming you installed the minimal SDK in the default folder, C:\Program Files (x86)\ Minimal ADB and Fastboot, unzip the individual images (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img and userdata.img) into this folder. If you installed into some other folder unzip there instead.
Now you need to put the Xoom into fastboot mode. Press the VOL-UP and Power to reboot, but then keep holding the VOL-UP. You should end up in fastboot mode.
Plug the Xoom into your PC.
Open a CMD window into the fastboot directory. If you installed the Minimal Fastboot from above you can simply go Start>Minimal ADB and Fastboot>Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
Type "fastboot devices"
Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Type "fastboot flash system system.img"
Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Type "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img"
Type "fastboot erase cache"
Type "fastboot oem lock"
You can see the responses I got in the attached image. Once complete the Xoom rebooted with the original Honeycomb OS and then I had to wait for all of the OTA updates to be pushed. This has taken several hours and now it is updating all of the stock Google apps.
Help with my MZ601
Please, I need help with my MZ601.
A friend who recently passed willed his MZ601 GSM/Wifi to me. I do not know a thing about it; however, I have read a couple of posts. I gathered from these posts that the MZ601 would need to be flashed with a new ROM, especially as when I powered it on, it stopped at the big 'M' logo.
I have checked so many posts online here and found links to many Roms and Gapps, but none is working.
Please, I would be glad if anyone could help me with the following:
(a) MZ601 GSM/Wifi ROM - whether Stock or Custom ROM.
(b) Also remember that I am a idiot; hence, I will need a step-by-step guide on what to do.
Thank you very much.

Hello.
As I asked earlier in this thread, I am still stuck after trying to follow the steps the people here gave me.
The problem:
Can not boot into any ROM, and the few flashable ROMS that I have are all for the wrong bootloader.
I can not put new ROMS on the tablet: TWRP Mount does not work and I do not have an SD Card available.
The ROM I currently have installed is the one with Sony Small Apps, I think it is grimlock. It will boot, and after 30 seconds or something it will crash and stay in a bootloop.
I have fastboot and ADB on my PC, and when I run the command 'adb devices' while it is connected (in fastboot, or the usb icon thingy), it will not show up and the list is empty.
The data:
Bootloader: <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.4.2.13-20120907" A03
TWRP Version: v2.2.1.5
Could someone help me with a more detailed guide than `install this and then this`? Thank you.
EDIT:
I ran the command `fastboot flash recovery recovery.img` in fastboot, and it said it was done and successful, however I still have my old recovery installed.
All right. I figured out that running `fastboot devices` will return me a hash of random numbers and letters, and adb devices won't.
ADB won't because It requires your tablet to be booted into OS and connected via usb debugging. Obviously that is not an option, as I can not boot into my tablet OS.
Using `fastboot flash recovery recovery.img` with recovery.img as the latest twrp for my device, it will say it works, but it doesn't actually do anything.
I am really stuck here.
cant you borrow an sd card from your phone or digital camera or somewhere like that you will only need for half an hour at most?

twrp doesnt recognize the microsd card..
I had placed the rom onto my microsd card before going into twrp and does doenst mount it, let alone see anything on the card...
Hello everyone,
FINAL Edit:
The device is stuck in bootloader, I can get it into recovery mode, and I have twrp installed. I noticed that I can use the abd sideloader option, as well as abd in my command prompt on my computer. Is there any way to push a rom onto the internal storage? I've tried using an SD Card, but the TWRP will not recognize the card, therefore I cannot flash from it. IF you know a solution to either of these issues, It will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
