Hey All,
My Dad's Xoom died over the weekend - 13months after purchase so is not covered by the warranty. He was browsing a site, it came up with a "Internet is not responding - do you want to continue to wait" message and he clicked Wait - after a second the tablet knocked off. It will not come on by pressing Power and only turns on by pressing Power and Vol +
It gets past the Motorolo logo screen and the device starts the boot animation, about 20 seconds into this it freezes and reboots - this continues in a loop. It's been GEDified and was running the last OTA update 4.1.2 - no root etc.
I can get into the stock recovery and performed a factory reset - but the same thing happens. I've also tried Update From USB with an OTG cable but the screen just shows Choose a package to install and under it has /sdcard but nothing else. I have a dummy zip on both the Flash disk and SD card so it's not reading either.
I've also tried to perform update via ADB - when I select it and connect to a PC (Win 7 32bit) it tries to install drivers but I see In Computer Management that it shows under Unknown. ADB Devices returns List of devices message but nothing under it.
I've also selected the fastboot command at boot, tried fastboot devices and the command does see the Xoom.
So my questions
1) Anyone seen anything like this issue before and know how to fix it?
2) Is it best to try to reinstall the ROM? If so, how do you suggest I can see it with ADB?
3) As I have Fastboot command, could I try to install CWM and see if that sees a ZIP on the sdcard - so I can install a new ROM.
Any help much appreciated :good:
so...I've just done a fastboot oem unlock
and then tried to flash the CWM recovery using the fastboot commands - no errors, press reboot and go into Recovery but still getting Android system recovery 3e :crying:

So just to add to this, I found the stock recovery.img, boot.img, userdata.img and system.img and used the fastboot commands to send all to the motorola - all succeeded without error....still the same problem though.
I installed RSD lite and tried a few SBF files but I'm getting an INI error - off to google possible solutions to that now
I have 2 Xoom tablets, in Germany, and I took the SD Card from one of them to put it on a new phone, the Tablet kept working fine until last week that I forgot to plug it and the battery ran out. When I charged it and started it, it didn´t work again, I got the Encryption message, nothing happens when I click the Reset Tablet either, I tried putting the SD card from my other Xoom but still nothing. I enter the Recovery mode and did a Factory Reset and the tablet was OK.
Battery run out again yesterday and got the same problem once again, but now factory reset is not working, tablet stays stuck at the "M" logo after doing it, I have repeat the operation a zillion times and nothing, it stays on the M. Plus I can´t turn it off either.
The model is the MZ604 and Android Version 4.0.4
I connected the xoom to the computer after installing the drives but it won´t recognize it. I got to do the fastboot and flashed motorolas images but nothing. I can´t do the adb reboot bootloader command because ADB won´t work, because I don´t have USB Debbuging checked, but I can´t check it now because I can´t get to settings (
What can I do to recover the tablet?
Anyone, is driving me crazy, no matter how many time I flash new images it always stays on the original, so I can´t flash any special recoveries either
I tried RDS too and after the reboot stays the same in the M logo, nothing changes. What can I do?
No ideas? :crying:
I want to save the tablet if possible.
Hi, could you explain exactly what you've tried?
In particular what you mean by "I got to do the fastboot and flashed motorolas images but nothing." and "no matter how many time I flash new images it always stays on the original, so I can´t flash any special recoveries either"
By flashed Motorola's images do you mean you flashed the stock images?
And when you say you flash new images but it always stays on the original, I assume you mean the recovery stays as Xoom default?
Let me know and I'll see if I can help.

Yes I mean stock images, and yes, it always stays on Xoom default, it never changes no matter which Recovery image I flash.
The recovery is likely reverting to default because the Xoom does this automatically each boot.
We might be able to give you a recovery that stays put but the booting issue may or may not be something worse.
Being able to fix the recovery in place is reliant on adb working from recovery itself, which I'm unsure is possible.
Whilst you seem to have reasonable knowledge of flashing and using adb/fastbbot, I'll give full instructions.
I assume you have the necessary files for fastboot so I'll skip that.
Place your chosen recovery image in your fastboot folder. (I recommend ClockworkMod Touch recovery from here)
Hold shift and right click the folder containing your recovery image and fastboot files, then select 'open command prompt here'
Your PC is now setup for the fastboot process.
Connect your Xoom to your PC.
Power on your Xoom and once you see the Motorola logo, wait about 3 seconds, and press volume down.
The screen should show the Motorola logo in the center and '--> Android Recovery' in the top left.
Press volume down twice more until the top left says fastboot then press volume up.
The screen will say 'Starting Fastboot protocol support'
Now on your PC, in command prompt run the following:
fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img
Rename xxxx.img to whatever your recovery .img file is namedOnce verified, reboot by holding Volume up and Power. (Keep connected to PC and keep command prompt open)
Again, when you see the Motorola logo wait about 3 seconds and hit volume down. You should see 'Android Recovery' in the top left corner, now press volume up to enter recovery, you should now see your flashed recovery.
This is where I'm unsure. Try running the following:
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.oldIf you are able to run this, this will rename the files that are reverting the recovery to default and prevent it happening again. If not, we can go ahead with attempting to flash stock images anyway.
To flash stock images download Build H.6.2-24 for Retail Europe (found here.)
Extract the files to your fastboot folder.
Again, reboot your Xoom, either by holding volume up and power, or from recovery.
And again, after about 3 seconds press volume down 3 times until the top left says '--> Fastboot' then press volume up.
Now run the following from command prompt:
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 lockThis will wipe all data on the Xoom, and hopefully reset it to stock.
Finally, run:
fastboot rebootand you should boot into Android 3.2(?), fingers crossed.
If you require further clarification or help let me know.

Thanks for the info, sadly I have done almost all that, I can´t use adb commands because I never allowed the tablet to do USB Debbuging, since I wasn´t doing anything that needed that and never thought I would need it. I think I didn´t kept the tablet connected to the PC, so I will try again and let you know if it works.
Like I said before, I'm unsure whether it'll work as I'm not an expert.
However, you may find this helps:
Whilst in recovery and connected to your PC, open Device Manager, find your Xoom, usually under 'Other devices'.
Then right click on your Xoom > Update driver software... > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Pick your Xoom (either one if there's two shown)
Windows should confirm the driver installed then adb should work in recovery.
I believe ClockworkMod Recovery enables USB debugging anyway, through modifying default.prop
I'd recommend trying the above, and/or if that fails for any reason download Motorola USB Drivers here.
Thanks again but nothing works, I tried rebooting being connected to the PC and the same thing happens, the default recovery from the Xoom stays there, fastboot shows on the command Prompt and in the tablet that everything went ok and the new image was flashed but the rebooting kills it, and I can´t use any ADB commands because of the stupid USB Debugging, if something like this can happen, Motorola should have left it open from default or at least have a fail safe in case something like this could happen. RDS also flashes an image but when it rebbots the whole thing goes to hell, it stays on the damn logo with the same images. I think I can throw the tablet to the trash :crying:
Unless its a serious hardware issue, I wouldn't trash it! It clearly has life as you're able to successfully flash and such.
I'd recommend having a look at the FAQ.

Thanks, but I have done everything, what is the good thing of a successful flash when the tablet returns to it´s previous state as soon as it reboots?
Plus I can´t use one of the most important things, adb, because of the usb debugging, I can´t get into the tablet to activated it, and even if there are recoveries which bypass this thing, I can´t flash them into the tablet, well I can, they just aren´t there after the reboot. And all this because the tablet run out of battery :crying:
ClockworkMod recovery itself allows the use of adb regardless of USB debugging setting.
I believe the command adb remount should allow it.
If adb is denied you can try what I said earlier

The problem lies with the recovery, I only have the default recovery from the xoom, it doesn´t matter how many times I flash it and everything seems to work correctly, when I restart the tablet I get the default recovery. I don´t understand why this happens, command prompt and the tablet in fastboot mode tell me the recovery has been flashed, but to use it I have to reboot and when I do I always find the same good for nothing recovery.

Hello,
I don't really understand your problem with the recovery ?
When you flash a custom recovery with fast boot, you restart the tab and after 2 or 3 second you see the Motorola Logo you push the volume down
and volume up button to enter in the new recovery.
If you flash custom recovery but restart completely the TAB without manually enter in the custom recovery, each time you retrieve the original recovery.

Here is what happens, I flash new recovery, I restart the xoom with power and volume up, when the logo appears, after 3 seconds, I push volume down, recovery option shows, I press volume up and the default recovery is still there, not the new one I just flashed.
Is really no one out there that can help? :crying:
There's nowhere stated that, however I believe you already have unlocked your bootloader, didn't you? Because it's REALLY weird that it can't flash the recovery, I mean, you left the battery run out, then after charging you wasn't able to boot normally again.
I'll think a little, but give a check if your bootloader is really unlocked, the device should have installed the recovery, and as you didn't restart it entirely (let it go after the dual core logo), the recovery should be there...

I have done the fastboot oem unlock command, should I do it everytime? I can´t use adb, because like I said, I never check the USB Debugging, which I have done in my other tablet now, don´t want the same thing to happen twice.

Purchased an Lg Gpad 7 Wifi tablet (v400) 2 weeks ago. Came with preinstalled Lollipop android so i couldnt install a recovery rom to flash any other custom roms. Downgraded to Kitkat version following the instructions on Xda forums and succesfully installed Twrp. When i installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 through Twrp i got stuck in fastboot screen.
Any suggestions and / or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
I had a similar problem.. Only mine was stuck at the bootloader. Go in TWRP and repair /data and other partitions. My data partition gave me an error since F2FS is a little flaky and some ROMs corrupted it (claimed they supported it). I would recommend erasing the system, cache and data partition if you can't get into TWRP.
The problem is i cant get out of fastboot whatever i try. It says start on bootloader but the tablet just restarts on an empty screen doing nothing.

if you have an sd card, try removing that, then reboot.
if that doesnt work, try entering fastboot command, fastboot continue
Tried without sdcard and i get the same fastboot screen.
How can i give any commands? The only options i have are Restart Bootloader / Restart / Power off. Tried restarting bootloader but i get nothing in return tablet just stays on with nothing on screen.

you said it was stuck on fastboot, if thats the case, install any needed drivers on your pc, connect device to it, open a terminal in the fastboot dir (after you go get fastboot), then try those commands i gave. you could also try, fastboot reboot dont think i mentioned that before.

Did as you said but every command i gave gives me an error message in adb terminal. There are new lines in fastboot menu in tablet now. Bottom two are SECURE BOOT - enabled & LOCK STATE - locked.

hmm, ok, im guessing it would have said that normally, when not broken. all the command does is try to release it past where its stuck. it doesnt actually flash, lock, unlock, or change anything.
imo, this seems good, because now we know fastboot is working.
i own lg devices, but not your specific device. i would hate to give you some bad advice and make your tablet broken more, but if it were me in this situation, i would try to flash the factory KK firmware you used to downgrade with odin or however you did it. hopefully, that will clean everything up and let it boot properly.
if for whatever reason you cant do that, we could try extracting the factory file, and just flashing recovery and system, those should be the only things that got changed putting on twrp and cm normally.
Sorry, I have the serious proplem wtih my LG pad V400, I rooted it and using <LG Flash Tool 2014> with <V40010c_00.kdz> to downgrate the firmware but their is error then my LG pad stuck in fastboot menu as with just turn off, restart and restart bootloader. if i seclect one one them the tablet just logged again the fastboot menu
it stuck on the fastboot menu and i cannot do nay think with it. I can restart with factory restore mode but when select yes to restore, it will restart and log in fastboot menu again.
I downloaded adb and fastboot program and put in one folder <Minimal ADB and Fastboot> in C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
I dont have recovery image so i download file <cm-13.0-20160421-NIGHTLY-v400-recovery.img> form your link to download TWRP file
move it to folder of fastboot programe and changed its name to <recovery.img>
I turn on the tablet and it waited at fastboot menu
when i run the command <fasboot flash recovery recovery.img> and they said some thing wrong like in picture
please help me
Hi,'
I think I disabled google app on my nexus 5 (stock android) and since then my phone is stuck in boot loop. (My phone does not go past logo of marshmallow rolls or message saying starting apps 10 of 10). I have very important data that is not yet backed up and I need them to be recovered.
From various threads, I did following in recovery mode
1. Wipe cache option under recovery menu - as it was mentioned, that it would not delete any user data on my sdcard. (No help, still stuck with boot loop)
2. In recovery mode - there was an option to mount phone memory and I did that. My phone shows a message at the bottom of the screen that it is successfully mounted. But I am not familiar how to proceed further or to recover data from my phone.
My phone is running stock android and I think I have not disabled USB debugging. I am not familiar about ADB, but can follow your guidelines and execute them. When I connect my phone to windows laptop, I see my laptop trying to install the MTP device driver, but fails saying unable to find the driver.
I need to recover my data and Any help is greatly appreciated.
Is your bootloader unlocked? I'm guessing not.

If the bootloader is unlocked, you could flash twrp and then mount the data partition from twrp. If the bootloader is not unlocked, you could try pulling the data from the phone using adb commands. Was debugging enabled in the rom?
I have not unlocked my boot loader. Is there a guide to use adb with stock android?
Only if you enabled debugging in developer options.
Today, I installed 15sec ADB installer and booted my device in to recovery mode by pressing power and volume keys.
Then under recovery menu there was an option called - Mount / System. I selected it by pressing power key and from ADB ran adb devices.
No devices was listed, when I ran ADB devices.
But I saw another option in my phone recovery screen - Apply update from ADB.
I got a message in phone - "Now send the pacakge you want to apply to the device with adb sideload filename".
Now, when I execute ADB devices in my PC cmd prompt, I see my device with its serial number.
then I tried to use ADB Pull /sdcard/ to recover files from PC command prompt. But I got a message - saying error closed.
Am I doing the right things? Can you guys guide me to recover files from this point.
My bootloader version is HHZ20h. Product - Hammerhead.
I noticed from below link a user has had luck with sideloading a launcher. Has anyone here tried it ? will it affect my data on phone?
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=64773#c22
Any guide to sideload google search app in recovery mode?
Have you considered side loading the OTA from Google? https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota Directions are on the site.
When you get to this point
(But I saw another option in my phone recovery screen - Apply update from ADB.
I got a message in phone - "Now send the package you want to apply to the device with adb sideload filename".), you send the ota zip. (Adb sideload <name of zip> ). You have to make sure the zip file is in the folder with adb files.

I tried to install OTA update and did the reboot. But it did not help.
Can anyone provide me a launcher that I can sideload in recovery mode? Reading from various threads, I think my phone is in this state because I disabled the google app, which is also the launcher.
Thank you

Download the stock image from Google that matches the rom currently installed on the phone, extract system.img, boot phone into fastboot mode, and type fastboot flash system system.img at the command prompt, and reboot.

Boot ur phone in fastboot mode (From power off to vol down + power), then connect it to the pc and install latest_google_drivers for nexus devices, ull need to manually install them, after that ur fastboot will recognize ur device.
From that type fastboot devices, if u see ur device connected u simply need to get into the commands that the other user gave to you, i u are lucky ur device will boot.
if u had unlocked bootloader the thing was easy as installing twrp 3.0.2.0 and backup all ur data via MTP
Okay, so I had been out of the flashing game for a while now, and recently got a Pixel 128Gb after using my trusty Nexus 6P, and I attempted to do Fastboot boot-to-root.img, which now has me stuck in a weird bootloop issue.
It boots, gives me the stupid can't be checked for corruption ****, gets to the white Google Screen, then there is a weird visual glitch, a blue line appears near the bottom of the screen, then the phone immediately reboots and does it all over again after doing a ramdump.
I can't even get into recovery to manually flash the stock image, as soon as I try to select RECOVERY it jumps to the boot screen where it tells me again that it cant be checked for corruption, and then starts the bootloop all over again.
ADB cant recognize it for whatever reason either. So now I'm probably not your average ****ed, I'm advanced ****ed.
Any body have any ideas?
boot-to-root is for Android O, you have to follow this guide
I had this same exact problem and I was able to fix it by reflashing the factory image. You said adb cannot recognize your device. But what about fastboot? If you reboot into the bootloader, connect to your PC, and execute "fastboot devices", does your device show? Download the latest factory image here. Extract it and execute flash-all.bat. Let me know if this helps.
You don't understand. When you attempt to reboot and go into recovery the manual way, the moment you select Recovery, the phone reboots and attempts to boot up, fails, performs write to ext4 ramdump, then loops over and over. ADB won't work because it wiped with the fastboot oem unlock which wiped the device, meaning no developer mode, which means no usb debugging.
Doesn't matter. Google is sending me a new one.

Fastboot and recovery are two different things. If you hold volume down + power it'll show you the bootloader screen (fastboot), this is where you'd usually select recovery. But if you stay on that screen, you can flash images to your phone. To fix your bootloop, download the boot.img from the stock ROM and use these commands in fastboot:
fastboot flash --slot _a boot boot.img
fastboot flash --slot _b boot boot.img
Then reboot normally.
falsh factory image inside the bootloader, don't need to go to recovery.
Step by Step
Thanks to previous experience with hacking devices (Android, Sony, etc.), patience and only allowing myself to freak out for a few seconds. A couple Google searches lead me to reflashing my Google Pixel 128GB and not sending it back to OEM.
So for the less patient I will break down the steps to do stop the bootlooping.
DON'T PANIC
Either hold down power until your phone turns completely off or wait for the bootlooping to do it for you. It usually only loops a few times before powering down.
Hold Power + Volume Down until it boots into the Fastboot mode.
[This is the screen that says you Phone Stats (serial #, cpu, ram, etc.) and has an Android picture on it laying down.]
Connect your Phone to your computer using a USB 3.0 port.
[My PC wouldn't recognize my phone at all when connected to USB 2.0]
Download from Full Factory Image from Google. { https://developers.google.com/android/images }
[Mine was "7.1.2 (N2G47O, May 2017)" for my Project Fi 128GB Pixel, but make sure you get the one for your phone]
Navigate to where your SDK/Fastboot folder is on your PC
[Unless you moved it, it is usually "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk" by default.]
Unzip the Contents of your Full Factory Image zip file to this location in it's own directory (for cleanliness).
Open a Command Prompt with a Right-Click "Run as Administrator" and navigate you your new zip file's directory.
["\platform-tools\sailfish-n2g47o" or whatever version of the Full Factory Image you used was.]
Type in "flash-all.bat" and wait for your phone to finish its installation. Your phone will restart itself into Fastboot Mode many times during this process.
Once it is finished, you phone should boot into its normal "First Boot Sequence" like you just started it up for the very first time.
At this point you can try flashing something else or use a different technique to update your recovery mode or ROM.
Good Luck.
