[Q] Rooting the 3G Xoom (Stock 3.2) with CWM - error 0x120000

Hi folks,
atm I feel like a complete newb because I cant manage to root my xoom according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979 with fastboot. (Can't flash through cwm since the device is stock 3.2)
What I have:
Motorola Xoom EU 3G (MZ601)
Android Version 3.2
Kernel 2.6.36.3
Firmware GAS_EMEA_USAEVRSTUTMDE_P016
What doesn't work:
As soon as I try to flash recovery my almighty command line says:
Code:
>fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
sending 'recovery' (3998 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.490s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 1.103s
My xoom shows "Starting Fastboot protocol support" as if nothing happened.
When I try to issue the command again immediatly, the error changes to:
Code:
>fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
sending 'recovery' (3998 KB)...
FAILED (remote: (00120000))
finished. total time: 0.274s
The xoom is showing "Failed to process command error(0x120000)".
Here is what I've done so far, aside from following the post mentioned above including all tipps in that thread.
tried three different cables for connecting the xoom to my PC, including the original one.
tried two different computers with three different OSs (x64 only so far)
tried to flash the image immediatly after the oem unlock without booting into system
tried everey single usb port on every system
tried updating chipset drivers as well as the usb drivers
I don't know what to try next. Could someone please give me a hint what to try next? I'm stuck here.
Thanks in advance & thanks for reading, Jan

Hi, indeed, I forgot that. I've checked it and they are matching, so no luck here.
Does someone know if maybe 64bit systems could cause problems? (And what to do aside from buying a new PC ^^)

well, they could but on my 64bit system everything worked out fine. You could try installing a 32 bit OS, as your computer is likely compatible to that. I don't, however, believe that would do any good as it looks like your computer is doing what it should, only your xoom isn't... (to me, it looks like your computer is sending the file just fine but the xoom just doesn't want to flash that file to memory)...

I'm a bit confused because it says "MZ600", but according to the tablet info when android has booted it is a MZ601.
I'm living in germany, where I've also bought the device and it's got a 3g module which i'm actually using.

did you just omit the (bootloader) iswarrantyvoid: yes or did that really not appear? Apart from that, everything looks just like on my device... Thus, I am officially out of ideas... I'd offer to have a look at your device next week as I'll be in your location then but I currently don't see how that would do any good...

yeah, that distracted me at first too, but a friends MZ601 which is neither rooted nor unlocked, says the same, so I think thats fine...
Anyhow... sorry, no clue what's wrong with your device...:-(
can you flash a the recovery image from Motorola?

Actually, I couldn't.
I didn't even try before. This simple question of yours emerged something like a nerdrage from deep inside.
I looked sternly at my xoom and decided that I won't go down first.
Well, the rest was luck, but since I've tried it multiple times and it worked, here are the steps:
Start slowly with these lines (I know them by heart by now)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-solarnz-XXXXXX-XXXX.img
It will fail. Do the last line again, it will show error 0x120000.
Now you have to be quick as soon as you submitted the next line:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Unplug your device from the PC and start hitting the Volume down button immediatly (this means: do not tap and hold, press it multiple times) until the display says fastboot is ready .
Now re-plug the xoom to the PC again and re-do this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-solarnz-XXXXXX-XXXX.img
This time, everything goes well.
If, like me, you are coming from stock, don't forget you must not reboot to system again, but directly to recovery and install something like Team EOS ROM.
I have no clue why it worked, but since I was so fascinated that I've tried it three times I guess one could say it's reproducable.
Good night and thanks to llama-power for being inspirational.

I have no idea why the information seems to be wrong, but obviously it can be ignored, at least in my case.
As long as you've got a 3G module, it is not a MZ600, regardless what fastboot is saying.

[Q] Fastboot Flash Command Hangs Device

I just got my new tablet today... it automatically did all it's updates while it was charging - I unlocked it following the tutorials and some strange issues started happening where the recovery ROMs I flashed couldn't see the system partitions. I tried a few different recovery ROMs (TWRP, CWM) but both did the same.
The problem, now when I try and flash anything using the bootloader, my command prompt claims it finished successfully, but my tablet's green flashing box stops flashing and does nothing until I hold on the power button to hard boot it.
Any ideas? Here's the information I've been able to gather:
Code:

Have you unlocked? Your posted information says no. If you are on 4.2 I can't say but previous firmware disallowed use of fastboot prior to unlocking.

I have not seen this or read of this issue. Are you on the 4.2 version of software? If so you are in uncharted waters.
I didn't get the update and can't use the ota to install. I like many others are waiting for the asus firmware version.
I have read one reply where cwm didn't work on 4.2.
Something else I have never seen is the bootloader serial number displayed. You may wish to remove that line from your post. Just choose edit and delete that line, then save.
If on 4.2 this may indicate that cwm and twrp will require an update to work properly.
If you can use your tablet as is then I suggest doing so or flash stock JB firmware the most recent is 10.4.2.20 but for my use 10.4.2.18 has less lag and everything I need works properly.
I'll bookmark this thread and try to come back with some help after more research. Failing that maybe someone else will reply with a good suggestion.
Good Luck!
Please respond with your firmware version.
This is the standard method used to unlock the bootloader with fastboot. I can't use it since I'm not on 4.2 and won't suggest that you do; it is for information only at this point.
fastboot oem unlock
I suspect we would need to use the -i 0x0b05 as in fastboot -i 0x0b05 oem unlock.

Thanks for the response - the SN is bogus.So, when I boot without pushing vol up/down it goes to the "ASUS" logo screen with "device unlocked" at the top and it just sits... I can get into APX with vol up and fastboot with vol down.
With vol down this comes up at the top:
Code:
Key driver not found.. Booting OS
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "US_epad-10.6.1.8-20130225" A03
Starting Fastboot USB download protocol
Then it has the typical RCK, Android and Wipe Data options.
When I choose RCK I get:
Code:
Booting Recovery kernel image
Booting Failed
Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000000)
The device hangs until I power cycle from there.

I am completely lost, if this is 4.2 that might be why. If you will give me your version I'll try to help you search and get an answer. Go to settings/about tablet/ and tell me what you have for build# and android version.
The serial# is not your tablet serial# but bootloader serial#. This may be in response to our recent petition to asus for the ability to unlock the bootloader in addition to the tablet unlock we now have.
If so this should allow nvflash for people on the JB bootloader.
Note: If you are on 4.2 you might look at settings and see if encryption is turned on, at least two have mentioned that it is on by default and it will cause various issues with fastboot and cwm or twrp.
Now that I think about it even on 4.1 encryption has caused some strange results.

That is what mine did and I thought it wasn't installing, but it actually did. Once I rebooted back into fastboot and selected RCK mine would boot into the recovery, but the internal and external sd card wouldn't mount. I tried TWRP and CWM, but no luck with either.
According to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180376 it is likely an encryption issue with 4.2.1 and we will have to wait till someone finds a fix. I was apparently wrong about the encryption on my earlier post.

I'm not finding answers to this problem; just questions.
I can't get 4.2 until Asus drops the file on their site.
At this point maybe everyone put this area on hold for a few days till we can get the full download and try to figure out what is happening and how to resolve these issues. Try to use your unit as it is for a few days and avoid possible bricks.

I have a full system dump of 4.2.1. Just extracting the bootloader and flashing it causes recovery to think it is encrypted. Custom recovery that is. Also I noticed that the 10.6.1.8 kernel doesn't like some updater-script commands. Finally there is a new file in /system/etc called recovery-resource.dat. I wonder if Asus has put some measures I in place to stop customising?

Were you using the update-binary from 10.6.1.8 or an earlier version?
Great catch. I just checked and we now have a different version of update-binary. Now I need to revisit my edify scripts.
Thanks!

Well I'm still running 4.1.1 I haven't be able to upgrade to 4.2 just as yet so I'm not sure what the issue with my device is I just restored it back to back to factory for work purposes and now I wanted to root it back and install recovery now this

I haven't actually flashed all of it but tried to make it compatible with my TF700. I also tried 2 or 3 different updater binaries and they made no difference.
Specifically format now wanted 5 args where only needed 4 before. No idea what the 5th is. Package extract file didn't like me writing to /tmp but was OK with /data/media ..... Weird
Looks like a permissions thing?

Operation not permitted

Subject line pretty much sums it up. I've been to loads of GUIs and walkthroughs - in the end my device remains locked down. I have TWRP as my recovery and a rooted version of the stock CM11S. I have my debugging on. My computer has permission with it set to remember my choice. I've dabbled in both OSX and Windows adb. The goal is to go back to stock EVERYTHING. I'm going to send it back.
Please help.

Lol you told us everything except for which operation is not permitted.
Transmitted via Bacon

Flashing pretty much anything via fastboot. When I 'fastboot oem unlock' the system isnt formatted or anything. Is it because my recovery isnt stock? I've tried restoring stock recovery, but after it loads once, a reboot just goes into TWRP again. I dont understand.

If you don't have the stock recovery installed, isn't your bootloader unlocked already? What happens when you issue these commands?

Oh sorry. Yeah, that's where things get weird. It's locked now, but I guess I was able to get it unlocked long enough to get TWRP injected. Not sure when / how it locked.

So you don't know at what point this started happening?
Transmitted via Bacon

I don't.

Usually there's a catalyst for things like this, without knowing the catalyst it's difficult to troubleshoot.
Transmitted via Bacon

Well shoot.

Come to think of it, I think I may have typed in oem lock at one point and then unlock promptly thereafter.

Solution
Great news! I've solved the issue. I used OnePlus One Toolkit by @manudroid19
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/oneplus-one-toolkit-manudroid19-gui-t2807418
I tried the Experimental Method or #2 to unlock the bootloader. Then you're given the option of downloading TWRP. At first I thought that was lame cause I already had that installed - that's what I was trying to get away from. But I finally understood that I had the option of running that recovery off of my PC by initiating fastboot mode on my One, then typing 'fastboot boot <local path of TWRP.zip I just downloaded>'. And from there I was able to sideload the unlock / tamper toggler as made available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912
Sideload actually completed successfully! I had tried sideload before with every attampt ending in red-text failure. I then went into fastboot mode on my One and flashed stock recovery. Then I used OnePlus One Toolbox v2 by @inthiaano:

Because it had stock CM11S as an option. This was also the toolbox I used to flash stock recovery earlier cause I couldn't find it anywhere else. After I flashed that, I did the fastboot boot <local TWRP> sideload unlock toggler again to achieve:
DUN DUN DUN DUUUNNNNN...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
Factory reset and return-ready. FINALLY!
So happy. Now I can get my money back and buy an Nvidia Shield 2 instead.

[Q] Cannot Root after XNPH30O

Hello guys, after a long time with the APPLE, i´ve changed to android.. mainly because of OPO. No regrets.
After a few seconds using it i´ve rooted it and was really happy...
But... after the OTA of the version XNPH30O of CyanogenMod i´m unable to root it again...
I can fastboot... but it stay at the fastboot logo...
Reading arond the interwebs, i´ve realized that it could be something related with the bootloader being locked.... so i´ve unlocked (i think) using the OPO toolkit.. I wiped it and still cannot bypass the fastboot screen..
Any sugestion or help would be awesome.
I´m running th OPO on CyaniogenMod XNPH30O, chinese model.
Thanks and cheers from Brazil.

Go into fastboot mode and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
Post the results.

To root you need to unlock the boot loader than you install a customer recovery. After you do this I recommend that you make a nandroid backup for when you want to go back to stock (a nandoid is an exact back up of you phone). Once you have unlocked the boot loader and installed a custom recovery made a backup you would put a flashable root zip on your SD and flash it in recovery. Most will recommend that you do not use a tool kit because it is doing the work for you and you don't really know/understand what is happening. I have not updated to XNPH30O but I'm sure its been rooted.
You need to have ADB and fastboot on your computer. << Google how to get this done.
Use this guide it will help do the following. >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632
1. Put phone in fastboot
2. run command "fastboot OEM unlock" < this is what unlocks the bootloader it wipes your phone.
3. You will need to install a customer recovery
4. Flash the flashable Super User.
Hope this helps.

That's all good, but we need more information from him before giving advice, hence my post.

I am not the original poster, but I seem to have the same problem—no root after flashing the SuperSU zip file. Here is the result of the above command:
Code:
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
OKAY [ 0.000s]
finished. total time: 0.000s

Thanks everyone for the help...
i´ve been reading a lot since this post... and, still wraping my head in Android rooting.
But i managed to fix the problema... I needed to install the TWRP.
So... in this particular case after entering fastboot i´ve installed TWRP (with OPO toolkit in Boot a recovery>Boot!>TWRP) and proceeded to root after that.

So what exactly is your problem? Your bootloader is unlocked, so just flash TWRP and then flash SuperSU.

Had done that at least five times without success, but eventually, after finding a slightly newer version, it worked. Problem solved.

Simple process don't use toolkits
For any newbs reading this, your Oneplus is simple to unlock, add custom recovery and root. Please do not use tool kits follow the simple steps to do it manually. You will be better off in the long run.

[help] oneplus dead randomly?

Hey guys,
before i finally give up on this phone and throw it in the bin, my oneplus phone randomly rebooted while i was using it, while it rebooted it just froze on the cyanogen screen, i powered it off and powered it back on and it still boots up to cyanogen screen.
now here is the weird part, i have tried every fix available on xda, reddit, and the official oneplus forums. i have tried to factory reset, wipe cache+ media, tried to fastboot oem unlock but it doesn't seem to do anything.
iv installed every thing to the tee ( drivers etc) tried different cables. i just think this phone has randomly died outta the blue for no reason(3months), RMA is not an option as i voided the warranty after replacing the oneplus screen my self when it cracked.
i didn't have root and had the CM stock recovery.
i had encryption enabled,
the last thing i did was transfer files to my phone approx 15 mins later it just died.

What do you get when giving this fastboot command?

CM12.
the thing is i cant seem to factory wipe the phone as well, when i clear/wipe it would go to the android man but it would be flashing few times before it goes back to menu.

I'm stumped unfortunately. My thought is that you potentially have a spontaneously corrupt persist partition (it's more common than you might want to believe), but you can't fix that with a locked bootloader, and you don't seem to be able to unlock your bootloader. Check this automated tool, it might have success in unlocking your bootloader (probably not but it's worth a try):
