Help...Bricked

Hey all -
So I followed instructions very specifically for rooting my Xoom on my Mac, and successfully unlocked the Xoom. As soon as I flashed the rootboot.img I rebooted and cannot get past the Motorola logo. I can get into Android Recovery, Fastboot and RSD protocall support but my Mac does not recognize it when I type in ./adb devices....what shall I do? I already performed Factory Reset but this didn't help.
P.S. When I say I followed instructions carefully, that is not to say this is anyone's fault but my own. I obviously did something wrong, and am realizing now that I flashed a 3.0 img file on my 3.1 Honeycomb...this is probably where I went wrong.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I had a similar situation using rootboot, don't worry....download the proper boot.img from tiamat's thread, and flash it via fastboot the same way you did the previous one and reboot. That should fix you right up.
And your Xoom is nowhere near bricked, just a little confused. It will be alright.

ah so quick! thank you thank you thank you. how do i flash it if the device won't show up though?

I had to turn USB debugging on in order for my Mac to recognize the Xoom when i typed in ./adb devices...obviously I can't do that now, so it won't show up. Any way we could talk on AIM or something like that so it's easier to communicate?

You said you could get into fastboot, yes? Power the Xoom down with power + volume up, reboot into fastboot with power + volume down, plug in the USB, open a prompt in the same folder as you have the new boot image and use the same command that you did before....should have been something like fastboot flash boot boot.img.
That is what worked for me in much the same situation.

It keeps saying unable to create a plugin over and over and over

Ah ok wait. I needed to shut down Parallels. The command ran, but it said failed in terminal. On the Xoom, it says "Boot command is not allowed on consumer devices, Failed to process command error (0x8)"

Unable to create a plugin....hmmm..that one is new to me.
Still don;t panic. If there is a way to get into Fastboot then there is a way to install a new boot image.
Did you type adb remount to start out?

Just unlocked it again using ./fastboot-mac oem unlock...but when i type ./fastboot-mac boot boot.img it says the boot command is not allowed on consumer devices even though I unlocked it...also could you link the .img i'm supposed to use just so I can be sure lol

and no ./adb devices doesn't show my xoom

Here is the boot image...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
and shouldn't the command be:
./fastboot-mac flash boot boot.img

Okie Dokie I'm a damn idiot. Flashed it successfully and am at the welcome screen. Thank you so much for helping me, at least I got some practice in with adb and fastboot commands!

No worries...I viewed it the same way. Down the line the knowledge you have been getting with this process will serve you well. Anyone can one-click, but doing it this way we learn how and why things work in Android.

Absolutely. One last thing. I only flashed the boot.img and the Wifi says "error" under settings...should I have flashed anything else? I downloaded the stock image files and am considering flashing those and starting from scratch

Ended up flashing stock boot, system, and recovery images and am back to stock with no problems. Again, thank you for your patience and help.

Actually I would go in and flash Tiamat's kernel via CWM. That worked for me in restoring my wifi.
Otherwise you can run the following commands to restore wifi (I think...)
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
adb push scsi_wait_scan.ko /system/lib/modules/scsi_wait_scan.ko
EDIT....OR you can just go back to stock and start again. Good luck.

No you are doing it right. THAT IS IS FASTBOOT. If you run the fastboot commands from your pc you will see it working on the pc.

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)

Suggest you go over to the nvflash thread and download the windows drivers.

Isn't that adb commands you are trying to run. I.e., adb devices. I think you are confusing fastboot.

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.
and i actually did get the drivers from the nvflash thread because that's what i am trying to accomplish
what does your tablet look like when you are in fastboot mode?
because i am doubting the fact that mine is even in that mode...i get the feeling that it gets stuck when trying to load fastboot

It just says starting Fastboot mode. It never changes from that.

im going to try and uninstall/reinstall the drivers to see if thatll work

finally got it to work...had to reload my drivers
haha so i did the whole nvflash thing but i dont really know how it works
all i know is that itll keep me from bricking my tf700

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.

cool thanks for the replies

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.

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.

Fastboot not working anymore?

Hi all.
I went to update my Recovery today to a new TWRP.
I have not had problems in the past.
When I boot into fastboot it just says "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol".
The drivers are properly installed and made sure under device manager.
Any idea's guys?
When I type fastboot devices I don't get anything.
Thanks for the help!

Let's talk about ubuntu a minute since fastboot worked before. It appears no one else has said fastboot worked earlier.
Are you running ubuntu on a different computer?
Same computer through virtualbox or something similar?
Same computer different drive or partition?
Try " adb devices " before you reply and include that info as well.
I should have also asked if fastboot previously worked on ubuntu?

Try this:
-use unlock tool
-boot tablet into USB MODE
(it will say fastboot mode,waiting)
-using the steps,copying over the fastboot files to one folder, with TWRP as the recovery, run fastboot command.
-done successfully,you be good

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------
ok i solved the problem just now...
1-reboot the tablet in bootloader while connected to usb
2-use vol down to navigate to the usb mode and then vol up
3-the tablet won't show nothing but actually it is connected
4-proceed to any fastboot command
hope this helps

I had this issue when I first started flashing stuff (although I was flashing CWM not TWRP)
In my experience, if you don't see anything listed in fastboot devices, it doesn't matter because it still flashes.
Just try using the flash command (fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash blah blah blah.blah) and see if it works.
You -should- be able to see your device in "adb devices", and that's really what matters.
Also, what matt95 said is exactly what I do. Whether it shows anything or not, I just flash my stuff. Works fine, but I also don't use fastboot alot because with the new changes to the bootloader, one can flash stock through CWM now without having to fastboot flash it.

I'm having the same problem here with fast boot. I want to run NV Flash so I can update to the JB bootloader for CM updates. I've tried simple commands like reboot and nothing works. Any other thoughts?

I'm in the same wagon as all you guys, I just tried that and I can't get into fastboot still. Still waiting for device
---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------
I'm sorted now, I didn't realise that we needed a different command
I was using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-jb-touch.img
instead of the correct method of using
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery-jb-touch.img
This worked perfectly

it's same as this:
== Part 3 - Install recovery and rooting ==
Let's start with installing the recovery
1) Download these 2 files:
- Jellybean recovery with fastboot files: Fastboot files + JB recovery
- Root files => Root files
- You can also download the new CWM Touch recovery if you don't like TWRP: CWM Touch recovery thread or TWRP recovery and download this file : openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-tf300t-JB.blob
2) Extract the recovery with fastboot files zip and open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)
3) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type: adb reboot bootloader
4) When your tablet has reached the bootloader navigate with volume down to the usb icon and press volume up to confirm.
5) To flash the recovery type:
- TWRP: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
- CWM: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery CWM-Touch.blob
6) A blue bar will appear and the recovery will be installed, when the blue bar is filled press volume up + power button to reboot into the tablet.
Now we will root the tablet
7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again.
8) This time you need to select the RCK icon with volume up to enter the recovery image.
9) In recovery flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed and reboot into the system
10) Install Supersu from Google Play
11) Open up Supersu, it will ask you to update the binary, choose yes.
12) Now your tablet should be rooted

[Q] help, i think i bricked my tablet

hi, first of all, i'd like to tell you i'm quite a noob
i have a tf300tg and i tried to flash the jb 4.2.2 that's only available for the 300t.. i'm dumb, i know.. and now in stead of booting it goes directly to the cwm menu and i can't do anything.. i keep getting the error E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command , .../log and .../last_log
is there anything i can do or should i just throw it in the trashbin ?

For someone to come up with a solution, Like a NVflash utility for Tf300...

Yeah, but if you want add NVflash support to your tablet, it can't be bricked I'm not quite sure, but you try unpack blob from offical update, and flash all files from unpacked blob (LNX etc.).

OK. The bootloader menu you now are seeing is the new 4.2 version. RCK - Android - Wipe Data(do not use wipe data).
When you get into this menu if you leave everything alone your tablet should auto into fastboot - watch the screen - upper left.
With fastboot flash the latest (proper) JB blob for your unit.
Good Luck!

You can't flash anything using adb commands. You need to use fastboot. Look in the forum for the proper procedure and follow the instructions.
Nowhere does it say type "adb fastboot ... anything...."

Here is an example of an adb command that does work to flash twrp with slight modification it will flash stock blob as well.
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 Then reboot to complete installation.
adb reboot
I don't know where you are getting your information but you need a new source.
No one said type adb fastboot they are two different things and each has a specific structure to follow.
If the op can get either fastboot or adb to work I'll gladly provide the proper commands.

then you have the same problem as me and a bunch of other people. The bootloader freezes on the flash command, even though it will show success and stuff. It never flashes.
I can push files with ADB and on reboot the files on gone. Since we can't flash with fastboot. We have to send it in to asus at this point. I got quoted $87 + shipping.

sorry, i meant to say just fastboot. i didn't write adb fastboot.. i've tried everything you guys said, but with no success my last resort is to send it to asus for re-softing. It costs about $80 + shipping. It doesn't sound like a lot of money, but it's a price to pay for stupidness or noobness i just hope they can repair it or otherwise i'll have a very expensive thing on whch to chop onions
thanks again guys for helping me

Moto G Freezes on startup logo and recovery logo screen

Hi guys,
I have a rooted Device with CM and TWRP installed, but someting happenend using the device and my Moto G got stuck on startup logo and Recovery TWRP logo, with adb I have acess to adb shell but everything else like adb reboot bootloader etc doesn't seems to work, with adb shell I have realized that the TWRP wasn't running 'cause when I use the interface on shell I get this message
$twrp wipe cache
"TWRP does not appear to be running. Waiting for TWRP to start"
Is there any way to install a new recovery via adb shell or reinstall a new rom, factory reset or something like that to make my cellphone work again?
Thanks,

If you are okay to wipe internal storage, the following fastboot command will probably make TWRP load again:
fastboot erase userdata​
fastboot flash recovery newrecovery.img - is a way to reflash recovery, however the above command may still be required.

The problem is that with fastboot the device is not recognized, only when I open the recovery mode...
The logo freezes but the device is reconigzed with adb devices...

What OS are you using? Maybe try the ADB commands:
adb shell
wipe data​

It's the latest CM
I'll try, but the last time I got this message.
"TWRP does not appear to be running. Waiting for TWRP to start . . .
Press CTRL + C to quit."
EDIT
using
adb shell
twrp wipe data
happened the same above

I meant what OS on PC are you using. Stop adding the phrase 'twrp' - type the command as I wrote it.

Sorry, I'm using Windows 10, if I use only wipe data, the command wipe is not reconigzed.

There are many threads on Win10 and usb driver issues. If you don't want to try to fix fastboot on Windows, you could boot into a Ubuntu Linux LiveCD and install fastboot there.

Install the Minimal Fastboot & ADB package and the Motorola USB drivers, use the mfastboot package and install the stock ROM as per the instructions provided, but ignore the disassembly part, unless you have your phone does not respond to keypresses.
