Hey folks,
I´ve ran my MZ601 xoom on EOS builds over the last 1,5 years.
Obviously its unlocked and rooted. Currently its running CWM Recovery 4.0.0.4
Now I want to go back to stock to install the latest official updates to get the updated drivers for the UMTS radio/modem module.
After that I want to unlock and get root again to use any of the lastest custom Roms again.
Switching to a touch based recovery would be nice too.
I surfed around a bit and I´m rather confused which steps I need to perform in order to do this.
I guess I need to remove root and lock the bootloader again before I can install official updates ?
Could someone please toss me in the right direction? Maybe some step-by step list?
You'll presumably want Build H.6.1-38-1 for Retail Europe from here.
Returning to stock:
Extract the files from the link above to your adb/fastboot directory if you have one. If you don't have one I've uploaded them for you here.
Connect your Xoom to your PC then open command prompt from your adb folder. (Hold shift > right click on adb-fastboot folder > click Open Command Window Here)
Type adb devices and hit enter, if no devices are listed then ensure USB debugging is switched on in Settings > Development > and tick USB Debugging, then try again.
If it still doesn't appear then download Motorola USB drivers here and try again.
If fine then run:
adb reboot bootloaderThen run the following to flash the stock image:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Flashing userdata.img is going to remove all your files so back everything up first.
This should unroot your Xoom anyway, not entirely sure if the lock is required to receive updates, but it's simple to unlock again.
Once booted and through initial setup you should receive several over the air updates. (I believe the stock image is Android 3.2)
Unlock:
Connect your Xoom again and open command window in the adb-fastboot folder as before.
Run:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot rebootYou'll now be unlocked.
Install Touch Recovery and Root:
Next download ClockworkMod Touch recovery from here, rename it to just recovery.img for simplicity, and copy the image to the adb-fasboot folder.
Download Xoom Universal Root from here.
Copy that file to your sdcard.
Then run:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(assuming you renamed it)
Once verified, reboot by holding Volume up and Power. (Keep connected to PC and keep command prompt open)
Important: When you see the Motorola logo wait about 3 seconds and hit volume down. You should see 'Android Recovery' in the top left corner, now press volume up to enter recovery.
From recovery go, Install zip from sdcard > choose zip > and select Xoom-Universal-Root.zip
Important: After the root flashes do not reboot.
Run:
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.oldThen select reboot in ClockworkMod recovery and boot as normal.
If you are unable to use adb in recovery, then you can enable this through Windows by doing the following:
Whilst in recovery and connected to your PC, open Device Manager, find your Xoom, usually under 'Other devices'.
Then right click on your Xoom > Update driver software... > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Pick your Xoom (either one if there's two shown)
Windows should confirm the driver installed then adb should work in recovery.
Finally, run:
adb reboot recoveryIf ClockworkMod touch recovery is still there then all is good!
Hopefully I've made sense! Any questions, just ask.
Repeat of downloads:
Download Motorola USB Drivers (Device Manager) here.
Download ClockworkMod Touch recovery here.
Download Xoom Universal Root here.
Wow, what a detailed guide
Thank you sir
No problem!
Let me know how it goes, hopefully shouldn't have any problems.
Resetting worked great :good:
Right now I´m in an OTA marathon
all that unlock, root and recovery stuff sounds familiar so I don´t expect any problems.
Thanks so far :good:

Ok, so this is not working
after I flash touch recovery and do thta reboot thing I can enter touch recovery, thats fine.
Flashing universal root, fine.
THEN,
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.old
gives me error since in recovery mode there ist no adb connection
Whatever when I choose to reboot the system, recovery warns me that it will get overwritten by boot and ask me to disable this.
Shall I do this?
EDIT: Nevermind, I decided to be a little brave and just confirmed that message.
Now touch clockwork seems to be persistent and I´m a happy Xoomer again
Sorry, I had meant to reply during my lunch break.
Edit: Realised the time on the second of your posts, so wouldn't have been much help on my lunch anyway
Well I believe I just learned something new!
Either that or I'd forgotten it asked.
I assume it disables the action rather than deletes those files.
My method was just so you can use the reverse rename in future to re-enable the overwrite on boot.
In future, not that you'll necessarily ever need this information, you can enable adb in recovery through windows by doing the following
When in recovery and connected to your PC, open Device Manager, find your phone, usually under 'Other Devices'.
Then right click > Update driver > Browse my computer > Let me pick from list > Pick your phone (either one if there's two shown)
Should confirm driver installed then adb should work.
I didn't include the above previously as I couldn't remember having to do it personally.
Glad to hear all is well though!

hii friends some of members or newbies dont know anythig about cwm so let me explain all these things and flashing and booting in cwm
two methods can be used to flash cwm !
first is by using application
second is by using fastboot mode.
flash cwm via apps
there are mainly two apps are used to flash cwm
mobile uncle tool : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileuncle.toolbox&hl=en
recovery manager(rom manager may be) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en
how to flash :
choose flash cwm from sd card (recovery.img should be placed in sdcard root) and then flash. u need to be smart because app interface changes according to updates.
cwm links :
http://www.mediafire.com/download/2hzwnft4ya0rpta/boot_6.02.7.img
http://www.mediafire.com/download/k9ctsu1ouu4rx91/recovery_akashujjainkar.img
using fastboot mode.
adb folder : http://www.mediafire.com/download/0imf9xv2uicwkbh/Android.zip
Procedure:
rename downloaded recovery to recovery.img--
Copy the downloaded recovery.img to your ADB folder--Turn off your phone-- Boot into fastboot mode by pressing power button and volume down keys together for sometime.
After sometime it shows fastboot mode in red colour.
connect your phone to PC using USB cable
If you are in WinXP, open command prompt and browse to your ADB folder using cd commands.If you are in Windows7, right click in the ADB folder and click to open command prompt there.--
Type this in the command prompt :
Code:
fastboot devices
This should display your device name in fastboot mode, if nothing is shown, then you have to check previous steps again.--
Type this command to flash CWM recovery to your phone
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It will show the progress and completion dialogue within seconds when it finishes successfully. Now you can try if CWM is working.-- download quick boot to boot in cwm

Hello,
I have the TF300T and installed twrp 2.5 and the android 5.0 rom. After a some time my TF300T became slow so I went in twrp and did a advanced wipe.
After that I wanted to install the again the rom but I got errors, so I did a reboot and now I have nothing expert the Teamwin logo that keeps booting.
I think the file format of the system is corrupted. Any Idea what I can try? The WIPE in the start menu when you power on the device with power down key I see the 3 logo's.
SOLVED: thanks to fastboot I installed the stock firmware. All works fine now.
Im again in TWRP thanks to fastboot
Code:
1) to have the correct driver for fastboot you can install asus PC sync from the asus website
2)download fastboot from internet and extract to c:\fastboot\
3)download from goo.im openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob and put in the fastboot directory
4)boot the tf300t holding power + volume down and connect at the pc
5)open command prompt (run cmd.exe) and navigate to c:\fastboot\
6) to know if the device is connected correctly use the command "fastboot devices" it should show you a string with numbers and letters
7)to install the recovery use the command fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
8)Reboot with the command fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot-bootloader
Now the big problem that I have is that it cannot mount the /data, /system, ...
Any help would be welcome
Hi Everyone
I will show you how to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and ROOT on
ASUS Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 ZC553KL (X00D).
Before you remember to backup data carefully.
All needed files will be in this folder:
Please edit all the link to be form of google shorterner
goo. gl/xCAUAB
1. We downloaded two driver compression files on:
Adb: goo. gl/SBVPVG
Intel Android Driver: goo. gl/oYN7mG
2.Download this file:
goo. gl/5yA6yp
3. After you download all the necessary files, you unzip them all and start installing.
Run file adb-setup-1.4.2.exe to setup adb
Adb is now installed Intel Android Driver next next time as usual.
That is the driver. Now copy the two files (frp.BIN and twrp-3.1.1-0-X00D-20171020-5.img) into the C: \ adb folder.
4. Brother downloaded this file supersu and then copy to phone memory card.
goo. gl/jLmknM
5. Now start using adb to flashboot
After copying, we go to PowerShell (Admin) if using windows 10
You guys use win7 and 8 then run cmd with admin rights.
After open brother type the following commands in turn order:
cd C: \ adbadb reboot bootloader
The command to enter the bootloader, wait for the machine and then reset then type.
fastboot flash config frp.bin
Waitt for the copy to complete the command to reset.
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After resetting, type the following command:
fastboot oem unlock-go
Once done, type in the following command:
fastboot reboot
After the reboot finishes the power off.
Then press the volume key + before pressing the power button, wait for the screen, then release the power button to keep the volume + key to bootloader.
Please enter the order fastboot flash recovery
twrp-3.1.1-0-X00D-20171020-5.img
Wait for the file to finish typing the command below to enter the TWRP
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
After entering the TWRP, the brothers swipe the left "Swipe modified system".
Next select Install -> Select Storage under -> Micro SDCard -> OK
Youu will see the file SuperSU-V2.82.zip you just copied to the memory card.
Click on this file -> Swipe to Right Swipe to confirm Flash Finished, now sit back to finish running and reset the machine.
So is root finished.
Wishing you success.
LOL? You made this method yourself? I saw this in somewhere on this forum.

Hello,
This is my first post on how to root and install TWRP recovery on the Teclast Tbook 11 (E5A6) android 5.1
The TWRP works with touch and I haven't encounterd any problems with it
I have not created the TWRP, it is made by nik2670
We only flash or boot the recovery, then install SuperSU 2.82- 201705271822. Nothing else !
Sorry for the mirrors. (I will remove them if you're the owner)
Be sure to have ADB drivers v1.4.3 installed before you continue.
Download TWRP 2.8.7.0. Recovery Tbook 11 and ADB and Fastboot and put it in a folder on your desktop
Enable USB debugging on your tablet (Settings->Developers->usb-debugging)
Connect your tablet with your PC
Open up a CMD prompt in the folder you have your ADB. Win+R type CMD, hit enter. Copy the path of ADB and put in the CMD prompt
Code:
cd [path]
Mine was cd "C:\Users\Thermaltake\Desktop\ADB FASTBOOT FILES WINDOWS"
In the CMD prompt, type
Code:
adb devices
If you see your device you good to go.
Type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
your tablet reboots, select android while it reboots
Now we're in fastboot mode, just to be sure we see the device type
Code:
fastboot devices
. If you can't see your device like me you have to manually install drivers.
Do you have the recovery.img in the same folder as ADB? Good. Type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
OR
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
to permanently have the TWRP recovery on your device (I recommand boot)
Your tablet is now in recovery mode! You can acces the internal storage. Add SuperSU-v2.82 on your device.
Hit Install->SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822->Swipe to confirm flash->Wipe dalvik cache->Reboot----> DONE !
Image of succesfully root
Thanks for following my guide, if there are any problems I try to update the tutorial or provide more information to you!
