Progress circles keep circling til battery dies. Coldboot didn't work. (Although Asus said I shouldn't try android icon.)
Don't want to wipe data if I don't have to because I was in the middle of backing up data when it got stuck (can I connect it to my 2 1/2 yr. old laptop to copy files I need?)
Have all updates except last one two weeks ago. Not under warranty.
hi
Try to connect it to PC when you turn it on..if your computer recognized it...other wise no way to copy data as far as i know..(I am also not a PRO).
For your tablet to boot again i think go into recovery and then wipe everything and it ll re format your tablet then it should be in factory condition.
If this dosent works try my guide see the first posts in here u ll find it!!..
Hope u ll recover it!
You should be able to pull some files, but I don't think you'd be able to get your app data back. The same thing happened to me not too long ago unfortunately and in the end I did end up having to wipe the data. You could try flashing a .blob file. Here's the thread I made, there's good advice in there:

Forgive my ignorance. That link didnt lead me to an sdk with adb in the directories, which sdk do I use?
Also, I cant figure out how to get a list of the guides on this forum or all forums.
Thanks!
If you want to use ADB to try and pull your files, then download the Android SDK from here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You can search on Google for guides on how to use it and try asking if you get stuck
This guide should help you in using Fastboot commands (Method 2):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
While it does say it's for Unlocked Bootloaders, it works on Locked Bootloaders too if I'm not mistaken. The way I saw it when I did it was that I had nothing to lose and it did seem to complete the command just fine although it didn't work after that and I had to wipe the data.

Hi all
I want to root my motorola xoom so I can overclock it and install custom roms. I just recently rooted and installed a custom rom on my nexus s for the first time and I enjoy it!
Just a little info. prior: I bought my Xoom in Canada. When they never release 3.1 I got upset and i believe i flashed the US version onto my device, would this cause any issues?

It tells us to download the clockwork recovery, but when I go to download the file it gives two options. One is a .zip and the other is .img and I have no idea which to download.

Use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798 and when you read it you will see that you must never try to flash a .zip file via ADB, only an .img file.
This stuff is in the Xoom Heaven thread and also on its own in the General section.
Awesome, I like that guide better, there is more detail.
But will this method work if I have already unlocked boot loader (but perform unlocking again because I'm not sure if i did that or not) and it'll work for any Xoom?

Yes to the starting fastboot protocol...
Check to make sure you have fastboot.exe in your tools or platform tools folder (whichever you are using)...some people said that it wasn't in the SDK but I did include a link. Without that fastboot.exe file you won't get anywhere.
yupp fastboot.exe is in platform tools, when I started the guide I made sure of it
I just tried something, but it seems weird.
So i was able to unlock the bootloader no problem, and my problem now is with flash the recovery.
I just tried after work again to see if maybe restarting my computer would help. Rather, I got the same error. But for giggles I typed "adb devices" and the xoom didnt show up ...
Any ideas? or does that help?

Make sure the recovery file you are downloading its called solarnz not Tiamat. The Tiamat file is either old or corrupt. The one with solarnz in its name is the newer version.

Ok so I downloaded that recovery image, but on the thread it says "solarnz" but the actual image when downloaded is identical to the one I originally tried to use.
I tried it anyways figuring that maybe my version of the recovery is corrupted for some reason, still same error.
I'm still getting no devices when i input "adb devices" ... I checked device manager and it is recognized there under the "ADB Interface" as "Mot Single ADB Interface" with no exclamation marks or anything.
*Edit: Ok i'm learning something new every time I try something. I learned that I can't perform an "ADB" command while in fastboot. So i looked up fastboot commands and ran "fastboot devices" and my xoom showed up. Now im even more confused! haha

You are right. The image file on solarnz's thread is the Tiamat version, which may not work. Did you check that thread to see if he posted the "solarnz" version? Also, see if anyone might still have the good file in their downloads. I probably do on my home pc. solarnz has requested that we don't put up any mirrors without his permission. but this might be different. I'll see what I can do.
That would be awesome, thanks!

And you had the same issue with the version that is in the OP of his thread? It is probably not the issue of which file you're using but another issue, like with your sdcard...is it in the Xoom and mounted when you try to flash the file through fastboot? Is the sdcard good...have you tested it in another android device, if possible? This is all I can think of at the moment. Good luck.
OK wait should the recovery.img be in platform tools or on the sd card?
But yes, the SD card is/was in my Xoom, it does mount (it shows up in "storage" in settings). I put my SD card in my HTC legend and with file manager I could find the root .zip file
Edit*
Also would plugging my Xoom into a power source and by USB make a difference?

Seeing as there isn't a section for the LG P870/LG Escape I'm going to try and get as much info condensed into one thread for now.
Not even sure how popular this phone is but, hopefully this will be of some use to someone.
KDZ:
I know this isn't posted anywhere so here is the v10f KDZ from LG. It is the latest firmware as of 11/6/2012:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP870/AATTBK/P87010f_00/P87010f_00.kdz
If you don't know how to flash a KDZ I will make a guide here soon. V10f is rootable using the method below as is v10c
Download Mode:
To get into download mode turn off your phone, press and hold the vol+ and vol- keys, with those held down insert the USB cable while continuing to hold down the keys. After a few seconds phone will enter download mode automatically.
Rooting:
I was able to root my phone that has v10c on it using this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31963526&postcount=532
I used 1.6 of the root script but some say that 1.2 works better for them. I would try 1.6 if that doesn't work try 1.2 if it fails the first time run it a second time and it should work.
Thanks! My wife just got this. I was able to root and update and retain root with OTA rootkeeper. Was looking for a kdz just in case. If there's enough interest i will see if i can port TWRP so we can cook up some custom roms.
I am definitely interested in custom roms, I have this device. Its not bad considering the price and what you get. 1494 on geekbench too! Pretty decent!

Aye guys I'm new into rooting and android in general, but I don't really understand how to root this phone. Kinda been looking around for a while and I was wondering if you can write some sort of guide. As of now I'm pretty lost the other threads aren't giving me any general information on exactly how to root the LG P870 or androids in general.

Download the zip and unzip it to your desktop. Go into your phone's settings and go to developers options. Turn on USB debugging. Go back to settings and go to security. Turn on unknown sources. Now plug your phone in and run the .bat file that you just unzipped. Follow the commands on the and that should be it. Good luck!

KDZ is the LG format for ROMs which is the built in read only memory that hold the instructions for the phone to run the hardware and features.
But I just rooted my phone with a combination of the above files, and it didnt go exactly as I hoped. First I ran the v1.2 batch file linked above, (the 1.6 batch file archive is invalid and doesnt extract properly. It seemed like it ran properly, i did the restore (no data destructive you shouldnt lost any data) but I didnt have root when completed. Then I tried the v17 of the original thread which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
That one also ran but failed at the end saying something about me not having root on the phone.
I than ran the v1.2 batch file not once, but twice in a row. The second time I found my phone operating in "emulator mode" in other words, it was running laggy as hell and very slow. I then ran the V17 batch file from the link above, and boom it worked. So as you can see it wasnt typical, but I think if you dont have success with the 1.2 the first time, run it again, if it still didnt work, try running v17 like i did. I now have root and my phone is working fine.
Basically, I got the Escape then got the Nexus7 and have been involved in that. Really haven't been doing much with the Escape. I will be looking into more for everyone and hopefully get a custom recovery at the very least. Then at that point we can start thinking about rom. Until then we are stuck with what we have. I will get more info for everyone , till then this is what we have. If you think you can help go for it. If not sorry but this is the best info there is for our phone . I will positively without a doubt post any new info here so if that's what you are looking for this is the right place until then, thank you and you are welcome.

Thanks people I guess I just needed time to figure it out lol. I ran it in cmd twice(1.2v) but not right after each other and the second time it worked thanks guys.

Is their a guide on how to flash the device using the kdz flash tool? I mean my phone won't turn on though. It goes into the lg logo then just goes black (the back light is still on).
K I have all the tools but
I downloaded every tool from this thread
But in the PDF guides it says to put the phone in Upgrade mode by removing the SIM, battery and SDC(Micro sd card?) so I did that. Then insert the usb while holding the Volume Up button. All that happens on my phone is the home keys on the bottom just flash. And my phone doesn't connect to my computer either.
My Notes on LG P870
Ok I have fixed my device, well twice now. It seems whenever you try to change any file within the root it restarts, then boot loops. I tried too change a font using Rom Toolbox, it restarted then boot looped. I rooted the device using the 1.2v script once, but this time I'll try 1.7v and see if I can change fonts etc.
Are any of you guys having any problem with this?
If you do, and you are soft bricked just:
Download UPK 3.7.1
Then open up LG /mobile Update
Click Install Drivers(Make sure your phone is not connected) Choose your phone and carrier
Let that finish(Gonna take awhile you have to install all of them)
Then click Install updates...Done
Worked
Posting confirmation for an LG Escape (p870). 10f rooted using the tools linked in first post. Used version 1.2 to start and had to use the version 17 of the other rooting kit to finalize like another user encountered as well. Thanks will be given if they haven't been yet.

This is a perfect example of why toolkits aren't beneficial to new users. If the OP had rooted manually, he'd be familiar with both fastboot and adb, and would be able to solve this issue easily.

Also, do a Google search on adb and fastboot, and find out what they do, and why you need to be familiar with them. If you research, read , and understand the information, then you should have no problem doing this - adb push "romxyz.zip" /sdcard/download.
If you can't (or don't want to) take time to educate yourself about unlocking, rooting, and flashing, then you need to reconsider whether you have any business being rooted.

Install adb drivers on your computer then go to TWRP recovery with your phone connected to your computer. Type 'adb devices', to check if your phone is detected, it should display your phone's serial number. Then you can 'adb push file' to transfer the cm/gapps zips from your computer to phone's internal sdcard.
So you have no idea how to use ADB? You're in for a real long night. -__-

RoyJ,
Appreciate the help. TY, all's good.
Happened to me a few times tinkering with the gnex, n4...boneheadedly wiped the internal storage. Easiest fix in my opinion is to just flash factory stock and start back from stretch. If not like they said you're in for a long night trying to get your phone to sync up to push the files via adb if you aren't familiar with the stuff.
Do wish you the best. Been there.
I have not been in that situation but couldn't you use a OTG cable (a Y type one which accepts power as well) and a SD card or stick and then mount it within TWRP to access a ROM to flash...?
EDIT: Also consider the Nexus Toolkit - very useful.
I really think that the faster way is to flash stock firmware back (if you have no experience with ADB commands).
Don't be so scared of adb. Its hard if you don't know Linux but adb is really really copy and paste for first time use. (That's how I learned anyways) You learn it once and it stays current and useful.

It's really not that hard.. You plug it in, open a folder, open the prompt and type a few words.. My advice is to try and learn.

A bit discouraging friend. I say learn on all about adb it's essential for Android. Knowledge is power.

You need fastboot/adb to do it anyways. Unless you use toolkits, ew.
Glad you got it sorted.

Yes, just the adb drivers needs to be installed. And I have never used toolkit ever.

No, you didn;t get my point. I told him to straight away restore by images just because his phone wasn't working at all. He can learn all that stuff later, but atleast he should be with no phone at all.

How would you flash the .imgs without using adb/fastboot?

by adb drivers, I mean adb/fastboot or SDK and drivers of the phone that's always included.
Managed to unbrick my device. Mods feel free to delete this thread. Thanks!
Are your adb and fastboot up to date?

Yes they are, I have the latest version.
I've been away pretty long so I'm a little rusty with everything. Can someone help out with download newest ADB and fastboot? I remember seeing there was somewhere to download just those 2 things without needing the entire sdk or something. Hopefully I remember how to flash to stock. I've been on the Android beta and my phone has never been this horrible before so I need to go back.
