Hey guys, been a long time since i have been on a Xoom forum BUT my xoom just stopped working!! It has been working great for years and now suddenly i restarted it and i get the error screen below. Can anyone help me get it going again?? I dont remember what rom i had on it because it has been years since i have done anything to it. I use it but only with the speaker dock as a radio in my room. I dont care about wiping it.
If you have experience in flashing your Xoom, this post maybe help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049485
Download the stock-rom that match your device, unpack it and follow the step at the top of the post. you need adb and fastboot
this procedure recover the factory-default-rom
after that you could reinstall a Custom ROM
Regards
Thanks!! How can i tell what Xoom i have? It a wifi only model but how to i know what stock Rom it needs??

Can anyone help me to bring back to live my phone, thank you.
My phone is G-i9020.
i found that ODIN was the best way to get my phone back from being bricked.
The rootboot at nexushacks also did that to my phone so dont use it.

I think the problem is that you flashed a boot image that is not compatible with your phone. First, determine if you have the I9020- A, T, or F.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031760 You need to find a post with the stock files for your model, and extract the boot.img. Then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(If anyone else has the exact same model as him, could you do a nandroid backup and post your boot.img?)
You may need to flash your phone via adb. That's if you can't get into clockwork, there are many threads on how to do this.

Hi, same problem here , i have the i9020A version in white.

Ok man I found my boot.img so I will flash mine tonight if it work I will post this for you. Let see hah. We are on the same boat, two noobs is always better than one.

I found one . In this thread [ROM] Stock - 2.3.4 - GRJ22 - Deodexed w/radio for NS/NS4G
I downloaded the image NSGSM-GRJ22-deodexed-KD1-rooted.zip (108.53 MB) md5sum: 970e9c7252f12a38ecaa6ff77ef6d010
Under: NS GSM - (I9020T, I9020A, I9023)...Rooted/Busybox/insecure boot.img/init.d Script support (Since my phone is I9020A 2.3.4 just rooted, I actually unlocked it, but then the rootboot screw me)
Then extract the boot.img and using fastboot type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now I can access my just rooted Phone. Hope this help you

I own a HTC Explorer. I rooted it a few months back. This is the tutorial I used (just for your reference) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415223
I have not used the factory reset option yet but somehow, when I restarted my phone today it got stuck in boot loop. Can anyone suggest a good ROM which is the closest to the stock ROM? It should just be closest to the stock ROM as I don't care for any extra feature, just the basic functionality of the phone. Also link me the tutorial that I should refer to when doing this. If it is the same one that I used for rooting, let me know what's different that I must do since I know that some steps will be different cause I'm installing a new ROM and previous tutorial I used was only to root the phone.
Thank you. Ill be getting online back in 8-9 hours so if you need any details regarding the phone I shall be able to do it then.

Bump, please help. Ill also search for threads that might have the needed answer.
1st of all, i am a beginner. Just brought my android ics phone last month. I also rooted my phone by the help of my friend last week. But yesterday i was trying to restore factory settings. But i accidentally wiped my system. And now my phone wont boot. It stuck in BootScreen. Nothing happens then. I dont have the backup of my rom. what to do now ??? Please help!! Sorry for my bad English & Thanks in advance who wanna help me

What recovery are you using? Even if you wiped the phone you should still have it running. All you need to do is reboot in recovery mode. Hard to tell you how as I dunno what the phone is.
Before that you'll need to download your stock firmware and put it on the root directory of your SD card if you have one, so that once in recovery you'll actually have something to flash.
If the phone doesn't have a SD slot, then you'll need to use a recovery tool on your PC to flash it.
Right now shut the phone down, remove the battery, find some guides specific about your phone, and read them carefully. There's a reason why we're using recoveries. First thing you should have done is to backup your stock firmware somewhere on your computer or on the cloud, and make sure you knew how to use it if something like that was to happen... Little late for that now.
When you'll know what to do, just mind that you still have enough battery to flash the stock ROM. Come back to ask help here if there's something you don't understand. Good luck!

No problem. Just install this partition manager free. It is perfectly adapted for windows 8. And you are offered a variety of options which can swap/merge/separate new partitions. With a very easy-to-understand instructions, everything is perfect!
Thanks for kindly reply

Well that's the kick, is it? Most of what I found through a quick search was in foreign language... I do english, french, and a little spanish, but that's it...
I did find THIS quite easily though... My bet is, start from there to find infos... That's all I can do right now to help you, sorry!

Hello!
I'm a noob as well, but I'll try my best to help with whatever I can as I have semi bricked my phone several times and safely got away with it. Assuming you followed the instructions on the Google developer page for Android L, have you tried reverting back to KitKat with the factory images they have provided via SDK? With SDK, you can open up the terminal in the SDK tools path to send commands forcing your phone into certain modes such as fastboot that is needed to flash the factory images.

Baz, click the link in my signature. There is a step by step guide to flash back to stock.

I've been using Gnabo v_7 version for quite a long time, and a very simple and beautiful day when I woke up my Samsung GT-N8000 was stuck on bootscreen. I wasn't able to do much so I got this "Brazil stock rom" that I found in a website, and it flashed all right, except for the detail that there is something at the screen that I haven't got a bloody clue how to remove. hahaha
And still, whenever I try to install another room, I got stuck at bootlogo and so on. I'm kinda lost here, mind a little help?
I traveled around the forum but well, I'm a little dumb so I couldn't find any proper information about, how to solve this. I would like to know if there is a way to remove this thing from the main screen, and post here the image for you guys to see it please.
I tried to post the image here to make it easier understanding, but since I got this login recently I can't =\
Thanks
Install custom recovery (if you haven't already. If you already have it installed, make sure to update to latest version), root device, wipe everything and flash custom ROM.

So far I've tried the rom = N8000XXUDNE4 [still bootloop], then another 4.1 android version of other German rom XXALGA and nothing. Downloaded 3 Brazilian versions, and nothing. [I am from Brazil]. The only one that worked flashing using Odin was one called "KIES_HOME_N8000UBALGA_N8000ZTOALG3_N8000UBLG5.tar". And still, not recognizing my cellphone chip, and with some big watermark at the middle of the screen showing some information about the ROM and the version is 4.0. Even though this one worked fine, I was able to root and when I tried to flash another room, BANG! Bootloop again! =\
I was looking at the forum topics and I read some about ADB or something like that can fix this and "break" this bootloop making the device work normally again with the roms. But i haven't got a clue how to use it. Please help me! =\

You can use ADB to push/pull files to Android. I don't know if you can use it to fix bootloop. With it, you can also reboot to recovery and sideload zip

Well, after 2 days of research and paying attention on things here, I found out that my problem is "/EFS error". Meaning to use ADB to recover or fix it? But I don't know how to use this. I've downloaded 3GB of it but I was lost about using, and uninstalled. Is is there any short or better version and some good tutorial about using to retrieve my EFS so I can install another roms? I'm using original stock rom now, Brazilian android 4.0 and that's the only only the device is working fine but of course missing things as my cellphone card and the yellow message at the top of the screen. Please guide me through ADB.
P.s Is there a way to create /efs or something like so the device work properly? Cause I've deleted when I installed some rom, and I have no backup here. =\
Thanks!
