[Q] Xoom Root Problems

A few days ago I decided that I wanted to root my Xoom, so I went by a guide on how to do it. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798 )
I got into the bootloader, flashed on a new recovery, etc. Got the new kernal installed, so I reset my Xoom thinking I was done. Right now, it's stuck on the Motorola screen. Bring up the boot menu and try the recovery, it doesn't work. Tried the fastboot option, computer doesn't detect it. However, on the RSD mode, I did have some action with the computer. I'm not sure if it's a drivers issue, if the Xoom hates me... or what. :/
Anyone got any input on this?
I've done the following:
Used a different USB Cable
Used USBDeview to remove the drivers manually
Reset the Xoom using Vol up+Button on back
Ragequit, multiple times
Gone into Recovery, which led me to a Reading ODM Fuse: 1 screen where it stays
Tried the fastboot multiple times to no avail
Posted on xoomforums about this, no final answer.

Sounds like your relocked your bootloader, or you don't have a system image installed.
Start over from scratch - I used it to Root my Wifi Only Xoom and
my 4G LTE Xoom with no problems. Only took about 10mins - use this method:
Universal Xoom Root​
Thats right, this method will work for any xoom on any update - Including future updates!!!
Note: Unlike the similar method floating around on here, this also gives you an unsecured boot image.
-- Please Note: this thread is still a work in process and has been sped up by the arrival of the 4g Xooms --
Current requirements: adb & fastboot have been setup and you have an external sdcard for your xoom.
1. Setting up adb & fastboot
Coming Soon! (If you want to write this section for me and pm me it, thats fine !)
2. Downloading the rooting-update zip file.
Download the zip file from here.
Now place this on your external sdcard. - Sorry this is a requirement at the moment, like I said this is a bit rushed.
3. Flashing recovery
1. Download this Recovery image. (put this image in the same folder that holds the adb.exe most likely tools or platform tools folder.)
2. If your device is locked, now is a good time to unlock it.
To UNLOCK -
Code:
adb reboot bootloaderfastboot oem unlockfastboot reboot
3. Flash recovery
Code:
adb reboot bootloaderfastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
4. Flashing the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file.
If you're in clockwork mod recovery you can continue (This recovery image will say it is clockwork mod) . If you're not looking at clockwork mod, then you need to repeat step 3 again.
In cwm, go into "install zip from sdcard" -> "Choose zip from sdcard", then select the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file you downloaded.
Note: use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select
Reboot your device and then welcome to your rooted device!
Now reboot into recover and flash a new ROM of your choice - I like this one:
[ROM][ICS] Team Eos ICS 1.0.0
Flash ROM then, do not reboot yet. Flash GApps right after ROM Flash then reboot!
Welcome to your rooted device!

[TUTORIAL][UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER][STOCK] Apply root-level mods without root

Hi, I'm not fairly new to this forum but I silent read from a long time ago and now I decided to share something I found.
Let's say you're tired with rooting and xposed as some apps refuses to run upon detection of either or both of those, and custom ROMs out there didn't float your boat, you decided to return to the stock. No recoveries, just a plain stock. But you need that SystemUI with netmeter, or you're too lazy to re-log in 6 different Twitter accounts onto the Twitter app you've previously backed up using TitaniumBackup or similar.
Without any words let me start:
What you need:
Obviously an unlocked bootloader since we will flash a recovery, and locked ones can't do so.
Any custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP that's fine. Don't worry about its compatibility with the stock, as it'll be wiped again (if you want)
Flashtool, it already includes fastboot for flashing stuffs, otherwise why is this called Flashtool?
Your current FTF file
OPTIONAL : AromaFM if your mods isn't a flashable zip
For TWRP you can also use its built-in file manager
Steps:
Download and set up Flashtool
After installation there will be some folders like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install the drivers located in the Drivers folder, place your current firmware's FTF file to the firmwares folder, and for convenience, place your recovery in the x10flasher_lib folder, and rename it to something short and easy, like rec.img or similar.
Put your mods in the phone's storage/sdcard (and also your aromafm if you choose to use it).
Turn off your phone.
Open up Command Prompt (or console window of your choice, if you're not on Windows), and navigate to the flashtool/x10flasher_lib folder.
Run this on your console:
Code:
fastboot flash boot rec.img
change rec.img to your recovery's filename.
Plug in your phone with a USB cable while holding volume + button.
When done, plug it out and boot to your recovery by powering it on and pressing volume - button when the illumination bar lights up (depends on your recovery).
Apply your mods (flash mods, replace system files, remove bloatware etc.).
You may skip steps below if you change your mind to having a (compatible) custom recovery
When done turn off your phone again.
Open up your Flashtool, if asked for admin rights just say yes.
Click the bolt icon above the window, leave the Flashmode selected, and click OK
find your firmware, select it but don't flash it yet. Uncheck/check these options, you don't want to wipe your data, right?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now press the flash button, located on the bottom-right of the window. When a window pops out (instructions to connect your phone while holding the back button), connect your phone with the Volume - pressed.
Wait the flash to finish, and unplug your phone.
Now you have your mods back and your app datas restored 'without root'~!
NOTE: I've done this on my Xperia E, for other phones I can't yet verify if this method works, so if anyone is interested to try this out go ahead and don't forget to report it back to me whether it's worked or not~

sorry mods if this is bypassing the spam guards.

i cant get OTA UPDATES after unlock the bootloader LOL

They do warn you specifically that pushed updates will no longer happen.
I think the solution is to find the updates from ASUS and use an app like FlashFire

There is a request for a Rom on the cyanogen forums.
Xposed worked like a charm.
It also appears that the kernel source is available although I'm not sure from where.
Still not sure where to find the ASUS updates

Thank you very much it works perfect, but how do you flash the recovery.img and boot.img to un-root?

Hi i am a newbie to rooting. Could you please give me detailed steps. I understood till the point of flashing twrp. After that do I have to wipe data and flash magisk right then? (I have tried installing twrp 2 times but every time after installing and restarting it shows android recovery only.)
One more thing, will I be able to upgrade to oreo through OTA if I have the stock android recovery, since twrp is replaced by stock recovery every time ( although bootloader is unlocked)?

[GUIDE] Enable Fastboot and install TWRP on Yes Altitude M631Y/China Mobile A1s

The Fastboot mode of M631Y is locked by the phone manufacturer. Flashing a leaked old version of phone firmware will enable your phone to enter Fastboot mode. After entered Fastboot mode, boot to TWRP and you will able to install it for replacing the phone stock recovery.
Warning: You will void your phone warranty when you start the process. Your phone maybe bricked during the process. I do not take any responsibility for any damage.
Before you start, backup all your data. Your data will be erased during the process.

Shutdown your phone first.
Method 1
Press Vol. Up + Vol. Down and plug the USB cable to enter Download Mode.
Method 2
Press Vol. Up + Power button at the same time. After the display is on, release the Power button. Click this button circled to enter Download Mode.

Short the points point here and plug the USB cable.
I use a touch screen stylus pen to short those points.
Your phone should be turned on and in Download Mode.
I don’t what is the function of those points. I think the EDL pin/ test points maybe are located at there. Therefore, the phone will enter EDL mode when the phone is booted with the shorted pins.​2. Flashing the old version firmware(M631Y_02.10.00RDD_HK.00) with QFIL
3. Enter Fastboot Mode and boot to TWRP
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-m631y-2018-09-06_09-50.img
4. Install TWRP
If you don’t mind using a development version of ROM, then finish. If you mind, continue to install a newer version of ROM.
The version to install here is CMA1S 02.23 HK. The latest version for CMA1s HK edition should be 02.25. I tried install 02.25 and 02.24, but it seems that both cannot work with the older version of Boot and ABoot.
Install update.zip using TWRP
Install downgradeto210All.zip. This will downgrade the firmware and Boot back to version 02.10
Install upgradeto223modem.zip to upgrade the Modem back to 02.23.
Install TWRP again
Below are the suggestions for deleting the useless/infected system app preloaded. Please mount the system partition with write permission in TWRP. Delete the folder mentioned.
