Hey All,
I know there are a lot threads like this on here, so I made sure I tried everything possible before asking for help.
First off, It is a MZ604 wifi version.
Ok, upon powering up my Xoom, it will get to the Motorola screen/ dual core and stall.
I am able to get into recovery, however the version I am running, 5.8.3.1 apparently does not allow sd card mounting, so I am unable to restore or flash a new rom.
A factory reset/ data wipe does nothing.
I have tried to flash a new rom via ADB, however my computer will not install the Xoom drivers. It will say "installing device drivers" for about 2 minutes or so before failing. I have tried using moto helper and the other Motorola usb drivers
I am unable to boot into android to enable usb debugging
I have tried all of the above on my laptop too and to the same result.
My question is, is this a brick? or can it be solved.
Thanks for your time
Yes it can be fixed, if you can access recovery then it means you can access fastboot. So what you do is once you're in the fastboot protocol, is flash in TWRP recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782235
With that recovery you can mount SD cards, so use a computer to download the ROM you want then flash. Hopefully you get the idea, but I can post in more detail if you want.

Thanks for responding, I appreciate it. The thing is that my xoom cannot connect to my computer, and therefore and cannot use fastboot to send it the image correct?
I could fix all of this if I could just get the drivers to install, but because of my xoom's condition, the drivers cannot install no matter what.
Hmm usually fastboot drivers should automatically install. Does your recovery have an option to boot into fastboot? Once you're in fastboot it should automatically install the drivers, and in the android sdk folder in CMD (assuming you're running windows) put in this command: fastboot devices
It should show up your XOOM if not install this http://www.motorola.com/Support/AU-EN/Support-Homepage/Software-and-Drivers/USB-PC-Charging-Drivers
And try again
Hi all!
I got the same problem...
I can connect it to PC and do fastboot, I've flashed it many times, but it didn't affect my Xoom, i've reflashed the recovery to a lower version (tiamat rc4) but the recovery still shows version 5.8.3.1...
I even tried RSD, but it still the same...
no errors, and no effects...
is my Xoom bricked?
^I heard of this before, sounds like your new recovery image just gets overwritten by the current recovery. Though I thought it was only for stock recovery.
but, how can I overwrite it? it seems like they are read only...
It's all about timing, to access recovery once you see the Moto logo wait 2-3 seconds then vol + then vol + again. This is right after you flashed in your new recovery.
You can also access your fastboot like that as well, instead of pressing vol + again, press vol - then vol +.

that's not the problem... of course I can access the recovery, fastboot and RSD, the problem is that I whatever I do to the xoom just don't work... and it reports no error at all... it's just succeed, but nothing happened... It's like a PC running windows with DeepFreeze installed...
Anyone got the same problem? can anybody help me?:crying:
No you're missing the whole point, after you flashed your new recovery it may get overwritten if you don't reboot into recovery straight way. It never happened to me but I have read that people has that issue.
I have unlocked my device using asus' device unlock tool, and was intending to root via fastboot. When I boot into recovery (power+vol down) the system automatically chooses the "boot from recovery kernel image". This loads for a second, then there is a picture of a fallen over android with a red exclamation point above it. I really don't know what to do, I have rooted my Galaxy S but that was using ODIN... Would appreciate any suggestions
NOTE: The keys do work when the tablet is up and running.
the fallen Android is the Stock Recovery. You cant do anything there.
You need to flash a custom Recovery.
Okay, thanks! I just got it to work.
Hi.
I tried flashing CM10.1 on a Nexus S device, but now I'm stuck at a boot loop. The main problem is that the device's volume up key doesn't work, and I can't get to the fastboot menu by going power + vol up. Is there any other way to get to this (maybe by adb)?
Or to put the phone in download mode and just flash a stock ROM image, any help is appreciated.
You have two options.. you can try this the pc tool... or the usb jig (here) to get to the download mode.. Hope this helps you..
Hello, i'm new to xda-developers.com.
Recently I installed ClockWorkMod Rom on my device. After that the volume keys ,microphone and wifi weren't working any more! So I booted the device into recovery mode using debug setting mode, to reset the device to factory mode. In the recovery mode I stupidly formatted sys and the turned off
Now my volume keys don't work (so I can to go to recovery menu) and the device sucks on booting phase (just shows htc logo).
Is there any hope to recover my phone? I tried to use adb, but it haven't recognize my phone!
Can anyone help me?!

Thanks for your reply. But no, I don't have access to recovery mode!
Is there any PC program for flash android devices with this situation?

It seems to be a real bootloop.You should have any problem by flashing a recovery or even by deleting the system partition.I mean it could cause a bootloop but as the rzr86 said you should still have access to your bootloader.If you have access to your bootloader by pressing (power)+(vol-) buttons but you can't do anything else I am afraid the only solution for you could be to flash an RUU to your device.
If you still can't get into bootloader try to remove your battery for some seconds and try again.
You could also try this guide.(I don't know if this guide can help you.)
Are you S-ON or S-OFF user? (You should probably be S-ON)

hi,
first of all thanks for trying to help
much appreciated
well, using the buttons on the device i can't get to the bootloader screen
it just boots into the stock ROM
BUT i tried it from the the rom with bootmanager (software app from the playstore) and i can get to the bootloader screen
i see the standard three icons
RCK
android
wipe data
if i select RCK it boots TWRP
if i select android it boots the ROM
but i cannot get to this using the physical buttons on the device
volume down and power
Mhhh, can think of 2 reasons:
You're not holding the Volume button long enough.
The button is worn out. Does it work to turn down volume?
