This means you are in fastboot. try running 'fastboot devices' on the computer the xoom is connected to, to see if your device is listed
you should see something like below if your xoom is communicating over the fastboot protocol correctly
Code:
fastboot devices
1234567890 fastboot

No connection to the PC.
Have been jumping through many hoops. I found an old backup.zip that after many tries was able to run. After that I was able to use fastboot in the normal way. My xoom is up and running again. Waiting for goo.im to come back so I can get the lastest ROM.
Thanks for your reply:laugh:

My xoom is doing all the same things, except I have no recovery. Flashing it through fastboot suceeds but has no effect. Recovery is required to use an update.zip right?

Thought I had i done, but no:crying:
The Xoom is now completely Stock with the last update installed. The Xoom is working normally, with one major exception.
I cannot start fastboot or recovery This meas I can not root my xoom :crying::crying::crying:
As soon as I try to start fastboot the USB connection is lost and the Xoom shows a dead android on its back with the red triangle on top.
Any suggestions:fingers-crossed:

Help with wifi!!! I beg u guys!!!

myxoom wont boot and it stuck at the boot logo! help pls!
Walk back into the store, walk up to customer service and say "It won't turn on"
That's about your only solution when someone loads a 3g kernel.
You might be able to try to Power Off, power on Press and hole Volume up and power when you see the moto logo.
i tried but failed! sad thing is i m staying malaysia n i ordered it via online!!!
pls! help me!
pls! i m gonna cry
Can you get into fastboot? You might want to try reflashing your boot and system partitions. I believe it was BeagleBoy that grabbed them off of a stock Xoom Wi-Fi. You're already unlocked I imagine. Should let you flash those right back in and start fresh.
This guy got out of a semi-brick by doing something similar.

If you can get into fastboot, you should be fine. Don't panic just yet.
Try reflashing the stock boot.img and system.img files through fastboot. I did it a few days ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12832155&postcount=33
You can find boot.img and system.img for stock wifi xoom on the OP of that thread.
Failing that try the semi bricked solution.
I hope you solve your problem.

Power off the device.
Then hold Volume Down and hold Power on at the same time.
it shows "Starting Fastboot protocol support" and stopped there. what this mean? =(
that means you should be able to get it running again.
follow the first message in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010568
probably from the stuck at 'dual core technology' bit...
but I think this is what you should follow:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
adb push scsi_wait_scan.ko /system/lib/modules/scsi_wait_scan.ko
adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab
adb reboot
you might also want to pick up the stock wifi images:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017398
and flash them using:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(you've already flashed boot.img above).

If you're lucky, your computer will connect and typing in "fastboot devices" will show an entry for your Xoom. You do not need to start with ADB if you're already in fastboot mode.
From there, flash the boot.img for the proper Xoom version you have. You may also want to flash the system.img as well.
From there, simply try to reboot using "fastboot reboot". Make sure your Xoom starts up. If it does, you're pretty much good to go. I'd root from there manually.

You can now try to follow this http:// http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010568 skipping the unlock section. Or as scourge recommended, fastboot flash the stock .img files.

That's not necessarily true. My PC can no longer detect my Xoom in any way whether or not it says "Starting Fastboot protocol support" or "Starting RSD mode 2". I can't get it to say anything else.
I used to be able to get into fastboot. That's how I bricked my Xoom... By trying to oem lock it with what I was hoping to be clean boot, system and recovery image files for the wifi.
Now, I can't even get back in to oem unlock or flash. RSD lite doesn't pick it up in RSD mode 2, but does pick up my old RAZR phone.

What sort of computer do you have? Can you copy and paste what you see when you type "fastboot devices"?
Copy and paste from your command prompt (or Linux terminal) and let's see what you've got.
ok. will report once tried. thx very much =)
Okay. If you can get into fastboot (check by "fastboot devices"), all you should need to do are these two commands if you're connected:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash boot system.img
fastboot reboot
That should get you close to stock first.

Stuck at Motorola Dual-Core? [Wifi-Only]

Hiya,
After dealing with a half-bricked Xoom, I did some research on this problem and found a solution.
If in any case, you happen to get stuck on the "Motorola Dual-Core Technology"
Solution to this (For the MZ604, One-Click rooted):
MZ604 Stock .imgs Download: http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/
*Make sure you have fastboot in the same directory as your adb for easy access*
1. Plug in your USB cord
2. Turn off your Xoom (Vol-Up + Power)
3. Boot into fastboot (Vol-Down + Power)
4. On your computer, open up a command prompt, and type the following:
Code:
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 lock
-or-
Code:
fastboot flash boot <path to boot.img>
fastboot flash system <path to system.img>
fastboot flash recovery <path torecovery.img>
fastboot flash userdata <path userdata.img>
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
5. Reboot the Xoom
Code:
fastboot reboot
6. There you go, back to stock!
On the real though, if you can get to Fastboot (or even the Moto "Android Recovery" state), you're not THAT bricked you've got to relock and go back to out-of-box; just keep a known-good boot.img around somewhere.
You just saved my life!
Thanks for sharing OP.
I take it this method is the same for 3.1?
I hope this works. Although, I can't turn my xoom off. It also appears that my computer will not recognize my device when it is plugged in. In addition, I can't turn off my Xoom? It just reboots... so I can't enter fastboot mode.
I just posted this in a new thread.
Lcsglvr said:
I tried reverting back to stock using the "one click" root/unroot tool that was the first to come out for the Xoom.
Anyway, I tried the unroot process and everything was going fine, until something occurred. Now, it tries to boot up and says at the Moto Dual Core Technology screen, "Failed to boot LNX 0x0004 // Starting RSD mode 2".

You can still enter fastboot if you xoom won't shut off. Just hold the appropria oncete buttons as it reboot. Happened to me last night upgrading to 3.1. It. Wouldn't shut down at all. Once I got into fastboot my computer saw it and I was able to fix
Honestly, I almost went through all of this last night when my WIFI Xoom got stuck in a boot loop.
However, I noticed that when my recovery went to flash the new 3.1 file, I felt like it didn't take as long as it should have. The file was the right size and all and it even said that everything installed successfully, but it just kept boot looping regardless of trying over and over. So I went ahead and re-downloaded the 3.1 file and repeated the steps to flash it and everything worked.
So, before you spend a whole lot of time restoring your Xoom, simply re-download the files and try it one more time. It worked for me.

hmmm... I'm in fastboot supposedly and tried to flash boot.img but it seems to be stuck at <waiting for device>
This happen to anyone else?
After search seems like a driver issue, but I have installed the drivers... I was previous rooted, so I know I have the drivers. Just to be sure, I ran the MotoHelper again. I don't understand. It's just seeing my device on the "Starting Fastboot protocol support."

Yes. How did I fix it? I returned the xoom and had a new one two days later.
If the screen says something like "Entering RSD 2" then you're boned. The xoom won't be recognized in either the current state or in fastboot state by the computer, so no amount of commands will help. Even having the stock images doesn't help with that. Even RSDLite can't see the xoom in that state.
There have been several reports of people just being honest to Motorola and them fixing the device under the warranty.
Hmm honesty. I'll give it a shot.

Is the final OEM lock necessary? It's quite a pain as your userdata gets wiped if you unlock it...
I was stuck on bootloop, with unrecognised device, through adb was able to get back into clockwork recovery somehow at first boot, think twice down volume? Could be wrong.
I was able tto rreflash zip 3.1 over thet top again.
sry if this is different and unhelpful, bu imagine things are pretty desperate if you are considering returning the device

You're not boned at all. I had that happen to me so I just got back into fastboot, downloaded the files in the OP put ADB, Fastboot and the adb extensions into the file I downloaded then ran the commands and got me XOOM back up and running fine.

You were likely in RSD 3, which is recognized by the computer. RSD 2 means adb and fastboot cannot see the device at all, so no flashing images is possible.
There's several states that all look very similar. Because some success was had with one doesn't mean it works for all. Motorola recognizes and is telling users that, in this state, the device needs to be sent back to them.
Can someone help us wifi xoom. Im stuck on the motorola screen and have a lil experience. I can fast boot reboot/fastboot device and it work but cant get the files from the hwi69 to fastboot on to it. I think im entering the commands wrong. Any advice would be appreciated

Very good info to get into fastboot protocol:
Much thanks for the info. Worked like a champ. On an updated 3.2.1 XOOM I did an unlock, re-locked the wrong way, soft bricked, unbricked back to locked state. Finally followed your steps applied stock files and XOOM is re-locked and stock rocking back at 3.01. I needed to do all this to make sure I could get it back to stock in case it goes back to BB in 2 weeks. I was lucky enough to find one at a BB just not sure if I'll keep it. I plan on trying out some roms plus I heard Motorola is planning on doing an ICS push to the XOOM. ICS is very nice. It runs great on my unlocked Verizon G-Nex.. Again Thanks..
This post not only saved my half-bricked non-rooted Xoom, but also let me flash it from the Singapore firmware (bought if from Amazon, don't ask lol) to the regular USA firmware so that I can properly root it!
Thank you so very much!!

thats where I have no clue what hell is going on, if I type in flash blah blah it says waiting for device
i have the same issue, I'm I reboot via adb and then my xoom reboots and says starting fasboot protocol support and just sits there. Any help or idea why?
answered my own question. This is because my device has not been unlocked yet.
I had to do the fastboot oem unlock found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967065
Only thing I can suggest is to check to make sure you have your drivers installed and ready for fastboot. I think one of the commands you can throw at it is fastboot devices which should do the samething as adb devices but use for fastboot (but can't remember, been awhile since I've had to do anything with fastboot). If that is an acceptible command then you should see your device listed, if not then your computer isn't seeing the device which is why it's saying waiting for device.
You might also want to try throwing the fastboot oem unlock command again and see what happens (it's possible that you've never actually unlocked the xoom).
This is only a few suggestions I can give you for now as I'm not at home to try throwing some of those commands myself to confirm they're valid commands or not, sorry.
drivers are installed that's how I did the original unlock. and I'm sure I hit accept. I went through the whole process of losing everything when doing so. no dice on being able to flash . and the weird thing is this. when I type in adb reboot bootloader it reboots to the fast boot protocol screen but when I type in the info to flash the recovery I get the error of can't load
I'm having the same problem, I simply can't boot into FASTBOOT. I've got the latest USB drivers, I've updated ADB, but it just won't work. It just sits there telling me "Starting fastboot protocol support".
Very frustrating, nothing I do seems to fix it - I've even done a factory reset.
Edit: Now it won't even respond to "fastboot oem unlock", it just sits there saying "<waiting for device>" even though the device shows fine when I do "adb devices" and the device also shows in Windows. (Is this simply because the device is already unlocked)
Are you sure USB debugging is enabled?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Yep, it is
Edit: By the way, if I do "fastboot devices" nothing is listed. If I do "adb devices" it lists the XOOM just fine.
Edit again: Just noticed that the OP also used the "rootmyxoom" process, which is exactly what I used and I'm having the same issues he's having... hmm.

The above is correct, you are in fastboot if you see this (similar to download mode on samsung devices for use with ODIN).
Be sure to add path to environmental variables so that you can use fastboot commands at prompt (if in NT (windows) environment)

fastboot devices is also a fastboot command from what i understand...i was trying to run that command to see if the computer can even see my tablet in fastboot...which it doesnt.

You can still brick your device but it's 100% recoverable, at least if it's not a hardware failure. Just make sure to keep your backup files safe.

I'm stuck at fastboot mode with my TF700. Windows XP recognizes my device but the command "fastboot devices" doesn't show up my TF700. I tried to reinstall drivers from univeral naked drivers package 0.7 with success - tried it three times. Bootet up TF700 in fastboot mode but still fastboot doesn't see my device.
Has anyone an idea what I can do? I tried it also in my virtual linux machine without succes. I want to flash new CWM recovery over old TWRP recovery to update to JB and after this to get proprietary files needed to build CM10 from sources.
As I understand, without fastboot, I can't update my bootloader to JB. Not a nice device...

Try to use this command to check if fastboot it's working : " fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot ". If your device reboot after sending that command it means you can use fastboot just fine.
To be honest i've seen many bricks reports from people that tried to only flash the JB bootloader so imo the best way to get the JB bootloader is to flash the official JB firmware, then install the latest TWRP OR CWM recovery via fastboot, use the custom recovery to make a backup of the stock rom. Once you've did all that you can install CM10 just fine but also you will have the opportunity to go back to stock JB in case you need to.

Fastboot devices does not work on this device. I've used fastboot to swap recovery images several times and update to the JB bootloader by itself. It definitely works as a whole.

To be honest i've seen many bricks reports from people that tried to only flash the JB bootloader so imo the best way to get the JB bootloader is to flash the official JB firmware, then install the latest TWRP OR CWM recovery via fastboot, use the custom recovery to make a backup of the stock rom. Once you've did all that you can install CM10 just fine but also you will have the opportunity to go back to stock JB in case you need to.

I've tried this command many times, and all I ever get is < waiting for device > and nothing else. This is getting annoying as hell. I've tried so many different things, all with the same result. I guess I'll just have to wait until there is an exploit found to root the JB firmware without having to use fastboot, then use TWRP from Goomanager, and hopefully by then there will be a zip of CWM Recovery.

[Q] flashing boot.img

Managed to flash TrickDroid and now I need to flash the boot.img, but there are two obstacles. The first being that 'adb devices' returns with nothing and fastboot just keeps showing '< waiting for device >'. I was thinking either flash it on my device rather than on the computer or some way that enables my phone to be recgonised.

Have you rebooted your device into bootloader (ie the white screen) and selected fastboot? When your in the bootloader adb shouldnt work but fastboot should. And you can run a fastboot devices to be sure as well.
Check if u have the appropriate drivers installed
Yeah, it was in bootloader and tried recovery aswell and had the right drivers. Formatted the sdcard from the pc and managed to get it working again.
