I installed a 3g rom on wifi

Hi
I made a very stupid mistake
I used the tool to root my xoom wifi model
I used the tool in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196
I tried to post this issue in the thread but I did not have the permissions.
by mistake I used the root of the 3G model
I followed the steps and everything was ok
I tried the unroot and here is the deadly (hopefully not) mistake
the xoom stops and first screen and refuses to boot
Did I brick my device??
Is there a way to resolve this problem??
Thanks

Yes, you have bricked it. Fastboot won't work at this point, so your only option is probably to return it.

I am stuck at the motorola logo and the word dual core technology
When I press Volume up or down (fanrkly I could not get into that menu again) I get a list
it includes the following:
Fast Boot
If I choose it I get
Starting Fastboot protocol support

Can you see the xoom in /fastboot devices? See if you can access you xoom from the computer. I actually did the same thing and got mine in working order.

Try doing this real quick, the best that can happen is that you can turn this around. You may NOT in fact be bricked. I made the mistake of doing this also, but I figured it is just like when I was using the Danger SPL on the G1 and I had to at least find a way.
So, do this real quick if you know how.
1. Power on and press Vol - at the same time
2. Open a command prompt to your ADB file and type in fastboot oem unlock
3. If this lets you in (it may not) go through the regular procedure of pressing Vol -+-+
4. It will format and you should know if it is in fact bricked or not because it won't boot up.

6. Profit???
Let us know how it goes.

you should try flashing the boot.img used to root i believe its tiamat 1.1.6 and the system.img for wifi. i have the stock system.img if you need it. hopefully that would git ya to boot atleast. MAKE SURE THAT IT IS WIFI ONLY.

Go here and follow the second post I posted. This will help you do this without downloading the files because they are already there.
Give it a shot at least

Yes, it has all been fixed. There still seems to be an issue with SU rights until you download BusyBox and no clue why.
I have been testing the WiFi one constantly and have not had any major hickups.

I flashed Tiamat 1.1.6 boot.img
the problem is that when using this command:
adb remount
I get
error: device not found
The xoom is defined in the device manager as
Android adb Interface

Told ya haha, save those files on your computer for next time. I keep them in close reach just incase something happens. if you have any other problems give me a holla. glad everything is working again.

I think I'm more screwed than OP because I was already unlocked and rooted. Then locked my wifi xoom with the 3g one click tool. Yes I know that was very stupid but I was wondering what are my options?
Take it back to Amazon?
Use the following method in this thread?
Wait for SBF?
Thank you your time and sorry if I hijacked this thread.

It relocked? Yikes... I don't trust those 1-click things. I need to know what's going on step by step. My first Xoom got bricked when I thought I had untainted OEM image files and relocked it. There's really no reason to relock a Wifi Xoom right now.
Anyway, if it relocked, you might have been in the same boat I was where the computer wouldn't recognize the Xoom in Fastboot mode or RSD mode. And I went and got it exchanged at that point.
Oh, if RSD Lite can't see your Xoom in RSD mode, you might be out of luck. SBF won't help if RSD Lite can't see your Xoom. BUT, if it does see it, it sounds like you can flash the 3G/4G SBF from Motorola/Verizon and to get sorta running, then use Fastboot to overwrite the boot and system partitions.

[Q] Nexus S 4G won't boot past Google Screen!!

I tried rooting my phone, but when I flashed CWM my Nexus S stopped booting... it freezes on the Google screen in the intro. I can boot into Fastboot, and cwm, but I cant connect the Internal memory to the computer without it booting like it is supposed to. Does anybody know of anything I can do to fix my phone and bring it back to stock??

There are guides for returning to stock stickied in the Nexus S 4G Android Development forum.
Before you do that though, try flashing a different recovery, like the one linked to here or here.
Btw, which guide did you use? You're not the first person to have this problem, and it's really bugging me (though probably not as much as it's bugging you :-o).

Maximilian Mary: I tried to post the link, but since I'm a new member I have to wait 8 posts before I can post a URL.... :/
I will try a different recovery, but how would I flash a rom if I can connect my phone via usb mount?

I'm a little out of my depth here, but I think it's
fastboot flash system system.img.
You don't need to put the rom image on the sdcard. Just put it in the same folder as fastboot.

It was titled "How to Root Nexus S!"
And I will try to flash recovery and try that rom command, thank you )

There's a button for that.

I got the link. Thanks. I looks like you flashed a boot image that is incompatible with your phone. That guide was for the T-Mobile Nexus S. (Why they're screwing with the boot.img to begin with, I really don't understand.)
Download the attached file, and unzip it to the same folder as fastboot. The md5 sum is d4a9508f9321eb25df3383f00f571e8b. Then
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You'll probably also want to use one of the recoveries listed above to
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
, but leave system alone for now. Flash that only as a last resort.

OMG!! im having the same issue. could you please post the link for ODIN so i can return to stock and take it from there please? I rely on my phone so much and i need it asap thank you.

same problem with me.
but in my case, the phone not only freeze after the google logo before boot. I tried several times to pull the battery and start the phone again, it took several times until the phone can boot normally again.
After that, my nexus s can work as usual. but it only takes 3-4 hour until it freeze/hangs or reboot automatically and show image of green robot lay down with red alert triangle...
sometimes I noticed all application force closed like gmail, gtalk, etc. (its a basic apps instead of 3rd party app)
History :
- root GB 2.37 using superoneclick
- upgrade OTA to ICS 4.04
- problem happens
- root using guide : nexusshacks.com
- unroot using guide : nexusshacks.com
- back to factory setting on GB 2.34
- upgrade OTA to ICS 4.04
- Still got that problem.....
I'm using Nexus S 4G Sprint, pls help me guys...

nexus s won't boot
I had the same problem and read elsewhere that heating the phone with a hairdryer solves the problem.
I must say, indeed it did.
I removed the battery and the SIM card, then heated up the phone (so it really feels warm) put back the battery and sim and simsalebim the phone started again. and is still working since (now already a few day's)
It seems that a component in the phone is heat sensitive, the question in my mind is when will this show again and do I need to consider buying a new phone.
But sofar it works
PS I also tried hard reset factory reset the lot, but in the end only heating up helped.
Good luck, David

I fixed this problem! but I had to wipe all user data by rooting it using nexusrootICS. It finally boots up and the phone works now... that's all I need.

[Q] wont turn on

I have a problem with the power button i push it and this is what i get
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)
0A.68
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
But with vol-&+&pwr button i choose normal mode and it works just fine.
The problem is tha i cant fix it with rsd lite + InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.
So if i want to get an update it will try to reboot and will not start up to setup the update
I have even tried the Blur_Version.55.28.37.MB865.MERetail.en.06.andcrc but still nothing.

First of all your phone is fine, since it is booting. You can continue to choose normal power up and be fine.
To fix you need to flash the fxz and replace the files to allow you to do it after being on 2.3.6. see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650

unfortunately i cant flash the fxz it says failed all the time, its like its locked, i tried.

hmm. Is your phone the AT&T version or one of the international ones? Make sure you are using the correct fxz file for your device, that is most likely the problem with the step it is failing on find a list here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
Go to settings- about phone and look at system version. That should tell you what version you are. it will be 55.13.25.MB865.VERSION.... or something like that, you should be able to tell which you are

it is At&t
system version 55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US i have downloaded the
InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.Zip that is for At&t is that correct?

yep that is the correct one. have you ever tried to flash a different one? that may have messed something up.
Try this, it may work. It is just a script that runs the fastboot comands. Extract it and run the stock restore file in it:

that is probably the problem. there are some files you will have to skip flashing in order to make it work I think. PM jimbridgman (i think thats how you spell it and ask him for help)

he should be able to just link him to this thread and be nice.

I also just replied to your PM, but I wanted to put this here as well, so others can also see it.....
This just a theory, since no one has done this yet, so we might have to try a few things to get it right
my first guess is to do this:
Take the following files from the update that you flashed and replace their counterparts in the 2.3.5 fxz, and update the md5 sums in the xml file, you can google for a windows md5sum executable for windows.
Here is a link to a good place to find the m5sums for windows7:
http://www.walkernews.net/2009/12/26/how-to-check-md5-checksum-in-windows-7/
files you will need from the leak:
cdt.bin
device_tree.bin
lbl
now once you have them in the same folder as the rest of the 2.3.5 fxz, use that exe I told you grab to get their md5 sums, and replace those numbers in the xml file in the 2.3.5 fxz, this should get you back to 2.3.5, in theory.
Jim

wtf my brain hurts already lol. I will try to do it in the morning i will inform you for the results.

i realy understand nothing at all of this. unfortunatly my phone will stay as it is.

download the fxz and replace files from noob thread. extract and replace files, after replacing erase third line
i.e <step operation="flash" partition="mbmloader" filename="mbmloader.bin"MD5="9D1958ED3F5E971FF079B195E338BA86" />
from InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID28 5.xml and flash it using rsd lite it will definetely work as i had the same problem

thanks man i just love u my phone works perfectly

What rom should I flash to get extra Languages?

I've got the Canadian Virgin Mobile Moto G, and I recently unlocked the carrier. I am going to unlock to bootloader to flash a rom with more languages, specifically Portuguese.. What rom should I use, I'm looking for the original Moto G software.

First, don't panic.
Second, explain how do you unlock the bootloader, did you use this?
Third, what does the bootloader screen (Power+VolDown) says in the second to last line before the first break (LOCKED/UNLOCKED).
Fourth, if it says UNLOCKED, try to flash the ROM using this, otherwise try to unlock the bootloader again with the link i posted in the second point.
And don't worry as long as you can enter fastboot mode (bootloader) you can fix everything, and nothing of the things you are doing affects fastboot mode.

You can add more languages without a custom ROM using MoreLocale 2.

I used that webstie to unlock the bootloader, and when I went to fastboot it did say UNLOCKED status code: 3.
I left it plugged into my PC last night because It wouldn't turn off, and I think it wasn't charging because now it's off and won't turn on. I'm going to plug it into a wall charger and wait a few to check if it's on.
After that, I'll try the method you said.
EDIT: Seems like charging doesn't work either, weird... because it said it was connecting to my PC last night in Fastboot

That's weird, doing the steps in that page don't make changes big enough in the phone to make something like that happen.
What does it says in the line below UNLOCKED, USB CONNECTED or CONNECT USB DATA CABLE while you had it connected to your pc/wall?
Why don't you try to use another cable?

That's a... unorthodox approach, but reading around it just might work.
I can only recommend you to put it in a sealed container and having a rice bag at hand afterwards, just in case.
Now if you can get it to fastboot mode, try to restore a backup (if you did one) or flash a ROM, im assuming that if you can connect a cable and send commands to fastboot it is charging the phone. BTW at this point if you can send commands and are tired trying to fix it, you can execute
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and you can claim the warranty, that behaviour is not normal, maybe something in the hardware side broke but until we test it more we can't be sure.
Now while we wait in for the phone to become a popsicle, can you detail how you unlocked it?

Ok, so I bought the phone and got it carrier unlocked, then yesterday I decided to flash a new rom to get the languages so I went to https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth. Unlocked the bootloader and when the phone was about to restart from cmd it said "FAILED" but rebooted anyways. It went into fastboot again and ti said it was Unlocked, when I selected Normal Reboot, it started up with the bootloader logo and continued on normally. It was then that it displayed the android startup page (Where you select language, sign into google, connect to wifi etc.) like I haven't used the phone before. Shortly after a popup came and said " Android is updating # of apps out of 137", once that was over every single process on the phone crashed.
Now I'm where I am now.
One more thing, I booted it into recovery before I unlocked the bootloader, accidently. Do you think it maybe could've wiped the original OS on the device?

As far as i know, you can't wipe the system with a stock recovery and with a "blank" OS your phone still connects to PC.
i forgotted this existed, at this point you can't lose anything in trying it. i dont recomend the bootloader bricker part for your case.

The phone isnt't being detected when I plug it in.
I've read that leaving the phone 24 hours untouched could also help the battery. I'm going to try that\
EDIT: GOT IT TO TURN ON!!!

Ok, so I got it working. The thread you told me first helped!! It works fine now with the Brazilian software. Thank you very much, you're a life saver.
Now... I've got another moto G to do the same to

[Q] Help me Unbrick my Moto G...please

Sorry for posting this, but please just try to understand me and help solve my problem. I know there is Threads for this, Please... I am just nowhere, my phone just treason me when I needed it most, It is very hard Bricked, nothing working, contacted support and they told me it need Replace (but I can't send to service #close this question)
My Story:
Constant restart loop, on Motorola logo. It can go in Bootloader when press Vol Down and Power Button, but that's it, (actually when going in recovery it goes to Broken Android sign, but than restart again)... so how it happened?? I do not know as u do not, I am just normal user, never done anything to crash system, never Rooted, even not installed any kind Launcher, nothing, just some normal Apps and only two game, and lot of music listening, that's it that's all (also physically it's like new, never ever droped or water splashed even). and one day come home, plug in for charging in my PC as always and boom, some strange app crashes and it restarted for EVERRR, wtf is this just do not understand, WHYY?????? so disappointed and so bored...
Question:
so Can it be Helped? Unbricked? I do not care Contacts or any kind Data, just work again....And if it can please step by step I will follow, and do not redirect me to other thread, just help me out here please
And if it cant be Helped, just say frankly and I will capture video how I am splashing it on REAL BRICK wall and will post it on this thread...this will be closing and **** sending of Motorola
My Spec:
Moto G (16GB Global GSM, no SD card slot, single SIM) - KitKat 4.4.4 (it bricked so I cant see Falcon version or other spec, but I have original Box)
I searched everywhere and seen lot, but all of them are 4.4.2 or 3 and also US versions, strange languages and so on. also here on XDA but as I'm Noob I do not know if it will work for me, and before destroy it completely I wanted to know from people who knows much more then me, what can do and what not, so please be patient for my Noobety, Thanks and Sorry...

Not sure. Just one thought, why don't you try a factory reset? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoTAsuPey_E

I will try again as in this video after couple hours and share results quickly.

Ok, don't worry, just follow the tutorial to reflash stock firmware and it will work again.
You need this: http://www.filefactory.com/file/1dw..._4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.40_36_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
The only thing to say is that when you reach:
Code:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
you may have to try this instead if it doesn't work:
Code:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
Let us know how it goes!

okey I will try it right now, thaanks

Oops, sorry, I forgot... It's up to you about unlocking bootloader. If you do, you can't send your phone back for them to sort out the problem. However, if you root your phone, you'll be able to install a custom recovery such as TWRP, sideload a rom, and hopefully all will work. But of course I can't guarantee that it will work, so it's a risk. If it were me, I would send it back as you haven't rooted it and really it shouldn't brick itself on its own for no reason.

This what the op says:
I have only tested this on a UK Retail Moto G with an unlocked bootloader, however as these are the original stock signed image files from Motorola it should work on all devices.
[. . .]
Edit: tkm89 reports that he was able to use this guide to restore Stock Retail British firmware on a bootloader locked Tesco-mobile Moto G
