First off I am sorry for posting this, however I DID use the search tool. I recently got a USA spec Wifi only Xoom. It came with 4.1.1 preinstalled. I have sucessfully unlocked the bootloader.
My problem is this. I cannot gain root or even get CWM installed. I have tried oneclick, i have tried cmd prompt. I have followed every guide I can find to a "T". Is there something missing, is it an issue with Jellybean being preinstalled?
Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468298 to get CWM installed (and when you reboot from fastboot flashing the recovery image, and this is very important, DO NOT LET IT FULLY REBOOT INTO THE OS. You have to get into recovery in the next boot or the OS will just overwrite it with the stock recovery and you will just have to go back into fastboot and flash the recovery again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30464067&postcount=408 has the root once you get CWM installed.

Thanks for the reply, however this is one of the utilities I have tried,..
Here is a bit more info.
I am running windows 7 64bit if it makes a difference. Whenever I get the device into fastboot and try to flash anything, it just hangs at the original fastboot screen. I have let it sit there from 3 hours and eventually I have to reboot it. The Lord AIO Tool you linked just gives me and error message that the device is not a 2.2/2.3 device. If I were at home I would take a screenshot.
Could my bootloader be corrupt? The device still boots up and runs jellybean fine, but I am not loving the stock experience thus far...
Thanks again for the links!
Actually sounds like your drivers aren't right. I will look them up and link them when I get home
Try installing the driver from http://developer.motorola.com/tools/usb_drivers/, rebooting your pc, and try fastboot again. If that still doesn't work, then there may be something wrong with your pc setup OR your Xoom, not sure at that point.

Hi,
I have put more than 12 hours of my time, before creating this thread. I have tried things, but still struck, so thought to post it in a new thread. Thanks for all your time.
Currently struck in,
fastboot mode started udc_start()
I tried, fastboot erase recovery -> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img -> fastboot reboot (successfully). But it still struck at same place after reboot.
I tried with different recovery images, but still the same observation. I tried to boot by key combination (volume down+home+power), still same observation.
Earlier, I installed ROM manager through google play and installed CWM recovery, version 5.xxx (which I feel now is a mistake), as I tried to install CM11 from MukilSoni, which needs CWM version 6.xx +. I am able to go into recovery and select CM11 image through CWM and proceed with install steps. But, after initial selection in CWM (like app install, etc) it rebooted and went into fastboot mode.I checked the log, it ended with some return error 7.
Then, I tried to Google and check how to recover from fastboot mode, but all failed. I didnt tried KDZ method, but thought to hear from you guys before making it more messy.
Glad, if I get any help and appreciate it.
Thanks for reading it and your time.

Did you ever try pull out the battery, reinsert, reboot system with 3 buttons combination? I got several fastboot mode as you're facing, and the system works just fine using above method.
I think you got just soft brick. Please, keep the device stay untouched until someone with such expertise to solve the problem will guide you. I think @akiratoriyama can share his bad experience bricking his lovely p500.
Wish you luck.
PS.
You must to press three buttons a bit longer, do not release it, until recovery mode appearing. Otherwise fastboot mode or blank screen showing instead.

Two years ago I bricked my phone also after using ROM manger. Though I will never ever use this or similar tools again. But at least, if I remember correctly, I could revive my phone with the "fastboot erase recovery" method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088046. But since you failed is seems to be another problem. I am not a fastboot expert , but since you bricked your phone with ROM manager too, I wanted to share my success story with above mentioned method and installing AmonRa recovery. So maybe you will give it a second try? All I can remember is, that it is extremely important to follow the instructions exactly.

Thanks @xu3sno & @androidck
I am also getting help from mukulsoni & others in Official CM11 version 10 thread.
I am able to go into the flash tool (pointed by mukulsoni, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49567169&postcount=45)
and able to go 'Select kernel to hotboot' with recovery.img (CWMod-6.4.0.6-Jan16)
But rebooting by HOME+Volume DOWN+POWER --> goes into CWM recovery of v5.0.2.0 (which i installed initially)
I am thinking, what to do next.
I will keep my progress posted here.
Thanks for listening..

Are you sure that you are booting into cwm v5.0.2.0? Version is listed at the top. If that is true, then either the flash tool failed to flash cwm v6.4.0.6, or you have chosen the wrong recovery.img. This can easily happen since they all have the same name. Try to flash it again, but make sure that you use the correct image.
Also, I believe that you may not have any rom installed, or existing rom might be corrupted. So you may want to flash a cm-9 or cm-10.x rom first, just to stabilize and to be sure that you are healthy. Those can be flashed using cwm 5.0.2.0. I can post a link or two, if you'd like.

Thanks @ibub for your helping hand.
I will check why recovery image not upgrading as expected. (I didn't manually download CWM5.xx version to my PC. I got it via ROM manager app, so i hope I haven't chosen wrong image)
Yes, I got CM10.1.6 from your link and installation went successfully and able to boot up..
But, it is very slow. (May be it will take some time?!) I will check it.
Between, @mukulsoni advised to install CWM6.xxx via CWM5.0.2.0. I will check how it goes.

Yeah, I chose to post that link only to make sure that your phone is healthy. Now you can install any recovery/rom that you want. If your volume keys are broken, I suggest that you flash to twrp recovery. It's touch driven.

So anyway i'm new here,,,,i just buy my oneplus several days ago,after several days of usage i found that i have microphone issue with ok google,so i look for option and i found some help here (i cant post link,its from youtube)
But to do that i must root oneplus so i did it,i instal supersu and using twrp recovery,after the phone rooted,i check again using root checker and it work,after that i tried to do method from youtube to fix my microphone,
After i found the mixed-path.xml,i changed the value but i cant save it,so go out and change the permission,then go to that file again,strangely i can't find the syntax again,i open the same file but the syntax is not there anymore...so i go out to homescreen and then try to reboot.
The problem now is my phone won't boot up,it stuck on the logo that look like bolt spinning,,,,any idea what should i do now?
I'm confused when you say the bolt symbol. Is it the one of the CyanogenMod Inc logo?
Boot into twrp. Fully turn your phone off and then hold volume down + power, adb sideload and then flash one of the zips of your choice. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2835010
Be more careful next time. If this helped you, give it a thanks

Did you try ADB Sideload as I mentioned? Do you have ADB set up?
To elaborate what I said on earlier,
- you need to boot your phone into recovery
- factory wipe
- advanced in twrp -> sideload
- while you're at this, select the two options to wipe and then swipe.... then type,
Code:
adb sideload <name-of-zip>.zip
and then once you type that it'll be sent to the phone and then you can sideload flash. After that reboot and then your phone will start up again.
ADB Sideload: http://teamw.in/ADBSideload
@foxzeaker77, just to clarify, it isn't called a bolt symbol, it's boot, and more correctly, boot animation.

Hey. Just a few days ago I learned hhow to use CWM and all that stuff (what a noob ikr). I installed CM12 and Elemental X kernel. I tried to install Xposed Framework but it did not work and ever since, my phone will not boot up properly. It shows the google logo, shuts down, shows google logo again and then it does the CM12 Boot animation but doesnt do anything after that. I have tried everything. Sadly, I did not have a backup for when this did not occur so I have 1 backup that has this error. I already tried clearing devlik cache and factory reseting from recovery but it doesnt work. I think if someone could tell me a very noob friendky way to install the stock rom would help. Very noob friendly.

I have, but do not understand how to do it.
Easiest way I can think of: The CM12 zip file is still on your phone. Flash it again (+ GApps) to remove Xposed again
Flashing the nightly will clear the /system partition including Xposed and overwrite it with the CM12 system again -> without Xposed. Then you should be able to boot

First of all: Change your recovery to TWRP ( it has MTP available, so you can transfer files from the PC when you are in the recovery ). Use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...ide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905
After that, reboot into recovery and TWRP should appear. There, go to " Mount " and tap on " Enable MTP " or something like that. After that, go to your computer and find a ROM that works ( and gapps, if you want) , connect your phone to the computer, after that copy it to your phone. Then go to " WIPE " and swipe to do a factory reset. After that go to install, select your ROM zip and flash it. After that select " Reboot to system " and if it says something about rooting your ROM, deny it ( if you want root, you'll do it later by flashing yourself the latest SuperSU, it is explained in the link with the recovery tutorial ). This should make your phone boot again, having a new ROM installed.

Ok. Being that you are a super noob lol.. This could be the easiest option for you at the moment. I will give you a link to Wugs Link which should get you back to stock. But I would recommend that you learn how to use a pc to get your device back to working order in the future. Also there are tons of videos that tech you how to use adb etc. Please just read and look up tutorials and make sure you educate yourself first before diving into stuff that you are really not familiar with. Good luck...

It does matter. Go into device manager on your pc. There is probably an icon with a yellow exclamation mark, right click and go to where you can choose a driver from a list on your computer. Choose android adb composite interface.

Everything worked fine but after the process was complete it was rebooting and the booting animation went on and on for many hours and the device did not root. I really don't know what's going on. My purpose is to install a custom rom: cyanogenmod 12. Now what should I do ???? PLEASE HELP. When i try to enter recovery mode it shows a picture of the android mascot with opened back and exclamation and cannot enter command as well. and after some time the booting animation begins and goes on and on...

Unless something has changed, version 6. requires that you flash a special kernel before you can root your phone otherwise you are as you are now, stuck in a boot loop. You should probably download the factory image from Google, and then flash the system image to get rid of what you have done.. Perhaps then your phone will start normally

Thank you very much for the reply, I really do have no idea as to how to flash the factory image because i am very new in this area. Could you please recommend software and which factory image i should download, please ?? thanks very much.

Also, you mentioned a 'special kernel' what does that mean. All i want to do to my device is install cyanogenmod 12 and for that i believe it needs to be rooted, so i am really confused. What should I do know
I'm having this same problem, and unfortunately, when I start the phone on fastboot, I can not access the recovery mode in order to upload a factory image of nexus 5.
I used the new tool available her for quick flash, and now, I don't have a phone.
First, don't panic. Your phone is still very easy to recover. Unfortunately I can't get you a complete walkthrough here (for now at least), so I'll give you the main idea and you'll have to do your homework (as maybe you should have done before).
1. You need to get fastboot working on your computer. It's included in the Android sdk package, but there might be some easier way to get it. Google it. You might need drivers for your pc too. Google it as well.
2. Then you need to get into fastboot mode on your phone. To do it, hold down power button AND volume down button until it gets into fastboot mode. You will see an android on his back with the cover open. At this point, connect your phone to your pc, open a terminal on your pc and type "fastboot devices" without the quotes "". It should find your phone if fastboot is working. If it doesn't work go back to step 1.
3. Download TWRP recovery on your pc and place the img file in the same folder as your fastboot executable (not mandatory but easier). It can be found here https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/
4. Always in fastboot mode, type "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-hammerhead.img" assuming you downloaded that file, which you should have by the way. It should install fine. If you haven't placed the file in the same directory as your fastboot executable, you will need to provide the path to your img file as well.
5. Then use the volume rocker to switch between modes and choose reboot recovery.
6. You should now be in TWRP recovery. At this point, download a custom kernel (anyone found on xda for hammerhead should do) and push it to your phone. It should be fairly simple with TWRP. Then flash your new kernel using install. It should help you get your phone booting normally. Alternatively, you can download a custom ROM like cm12.1 and flash it altogether. It will install everything needed for your phone to boot up too. Beware if flashing a ROM though, I strongly advice you to do a factory reset before flashing it. You will find that option in the wipe menu.
Hope it helps, let me know if you need further assistance.
Yesterday, I have tried everything to have my computer to recognize the "fastboot" command, and I installed like 2 or 3 different programs for that. With my old Windows 7, I have been able to push a flashed image to fix this issue, using the fastboot command, but with Windows 10, it's always telling me it's not a valid command. I'll keep trying it, otherwise, i'll have to "resurrect" my old Windows XP computer.
Also, I noticed now that, while trying to install the fastboot, as per some files that I could download, but no file has been copied into my computer, not even if I run it as admin.
fixed. but no RECOVERY mode options....
Hi Guys,
Thank you very much for the help, I have finally recovered the phone and running android 6.0 MRA58N but it is not rooted. Now if you don't mind could you teach me how to root because i have checked lots of videos and tuts but none worked for me...
IMPORTANT:
when i am in recovery mode why cannot I access options even when i press volume up + power button and release them at the same time...????
Thanks in advance.
Just flash a custom recovery via fastboot. Just make sure your bootloader is unlocked. Can't link though.
