Hello there, I have a huge issue with my Motorola Xoom.
I ran the #156 TeamEOS 4.2 Nightly Rom for my European 3G Xoom when all of a sudden my tablet started acting really weird.
Apps were crashing, Google Play wasn't working, Browser as well, and so on.
I decided to do a hard reset, formatting cache, Dalvik Cache, Hard Reset...but nothing was cancelled. As soon as i rebooted my device, everything was back the way it was with the same issues. I noticed my tablet was costantly updating the same apps and even if I updated them the following reboot they were back re-updating themselves.
I have no idea what to do, I tried everything, including RSD Lite. Nothing.
Can somebody help me figuring out what to do and how to at least format my Xoom completely so that I can re-install my rom and then re-install the apps?
Thanks.
I would boot into recovery and do a full wipe the reflash the rom a gapps. you should be good to go.
No can do, sorry. What's weird is that even when I go to change the performance settings on the rom, to overclock it more or less, the changes are not recorded. I can set whatever I want but it doesn't change it. It's like the tablet is in a loop, always stuck doing the same things, charging the same rom, the same settings. I really don't know what to do, I don't want to throw it away but I don't know how to solve it.
Which xoom do you have? We can always flash the stock img with fastboot to restore it. It will be back to complete stock.
Can you get into recovery at all by powering off then press the power button wait till 3 sec's after the logo appears and press volume down. You will see android recovery at the top press vol up to select. If you can and you have a backup restore it. If you use an external sd card you can load a rom on to it and flash it in recovery.

this is the same exact problem i'm having. I cannot get my xoom to reset. It always goes back to where it was before.

Sounds like your data has gotten corrupted somehow. You can take the boot.img out of whatever Custom ROM ur using, and via terminal -
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
I'm not using any custom roms. I'm using factory settings for almost everything.... also i don't know how to use terminal

I have the same problem.
The Xoom is a european with android 3.1 kernel version 2.6.36 and build H.6.3-25-9 <- this i dont understand but i think that is no correct.
I try flash the H.6.1-38-1_Retail_Europe version, all the process finish ok, but when i restart the tablet everything continues as before.
I not know what else to do, Heeeelp.
Just got this brand new looking RAZR MAXX HD. Tried doing a factory reset and it took close to 20 minutes on the android screen with the open chest and blue bar at the bottom. I proceeded to boot it into the bootloader and then i chose NORMAL REBOOT and it booted back up fresh. All was SUPPOSEDLY well, until I rebooted it and now it starts a factory reset all over again on each reboot. I have to force it back into the bootloader and reboot it normally. Upon full reboot I have yet another factory reset phone. losing ALL MY APPS and documents. WHAT IS GOING ON? Please help. Im on a Mac too so if I need a computer, lets try to make it work for the Mac. Lol. Im very good with ADB and FASTBOOT and have those set up on my Mac as well. Thank you....
I noticed One+ was a bit slow so I decided first to switch from power save to balanced and it was still going slow so I decided to do a reboot. After the reboot the phone got stuck at the boot animation. I can get into recovery tried a factory reset didnt help. Im wondering if i try flashing the OS if that would work. Plus what would be the best way to do so.
What ROM, Kernel are you using?
Switching from Power Save to Balanced shouldn't cause your phone to be stuck in a boot loop. Something else caused it.
Everything is stock, it was really weird I was considering maybe using adb to flash a stock img (although i have little experience doing that). I tried rebooting again to potentially start this process (this is after a good 5 or 6 reboots and a factory reset) and it started up to the welcome screen. Another side issue it seems like the factory resets for this device only wipe the apps + user data. I know if I was rooted i wouldnt expect the media to be wiped but its stock with the stock rom. I bought it off ebay and when i went to load my stuff i did a factory reset and noticed the previous owners data including call/text logs and contacts were all on the device

If you were to flash a stock image, it would be done in fastboot mode and not adb mode. So is your phone booting yet?
You can always adb sideload a custom ROM and flash that to get your phone to a bootable state again.
The phone booted up after a good 3 hours a factory reset and multiple reboots
Hie,
I recently purchased a Chinese Tablet (Fondi PAD T708B). I had set a password for it and then forgot it. I read a couple of forums on how to get help, it showed generic password recovery methods for android which seemed not to have been options for this tablet. Then I read another forum which gave me another solution to be to factory reset it. I'm a noob it that sort of thing so i tried to follow the steps correctly. I was able to boot into recovery mode and found the factory reset option which showed it would erase all user data. I had no problem with that considering there wasn't anything I hadn't backed up. However, during the 'wiping data' the tablet went off. And when I tried to boot it again it gets stuck on the screen as shown in the attachment.. And however long I wait it doesn't seem to pass that point. Can any one help me out on this?
May you please help.
Hey guys,
Is data recovery possible after a flash? Also, what is wrong? I have searched but no answer directly hits on this. I am not a tech guy- Biology- sorry for that ahead. To the issue, I dlowded a software update to my Galaxy s3.....and boom froze on Samsung screen. I can turn phone off and on. It would not boot past Samsung. So I went into cache partrition, and tried a system reboot- cannot. So then I seen a program that supposively recovers data after factory reset if you do nothing else to the phone. However, problem I hit te dreaded factory reset- nothing. Over a software update? My computer is not recognizing the device. So I went to Samsung, they tried installing software, however, the computers were recognizing, but not connecting. One tech said they did not have flash- I went back again, the othertech said they did. Anywho, after 4 days, I forked my phone over to a repair guy. He I believe tried Odin- as it currently sits in odin mode. Now it was getting into download mode- but ow I have this message- " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." A samsung guy mentioned it might be able to be flashed, as my concern data- not backed up. This info is pretty important, as I have several contacts and mssgs. The two modes my phone can go into: Odin and recovery. I could really use the help, on both saving data, and getting the phone to fire- as it might be able to- but data?
Thanks in advance.
Use helium for recovery data
