[Q] Xoom bricked ? Black screen, no Motorola-Logo on booting...

Hi,
yesterday I tried to play around with CWM and I selected "Partition SD Card" (or something like this). I think it was CWM 3.XXX (orange menu).
The problem:
I had no SD-Card in my Xoom !
After that I typed "adb reboot" and that was the last time I saw my Xoom working.
No Motorola dual-core boot-up screen, no recognition at my PC (currently running Linux)...
I think I've formatted the bootloader (or how is this Motorola-Bootup-Logo called ?)...
Any thing I could do now ?
JTAG possible ?
Thanks in advance,
zwiebelchen89

does adb still see it?
might need the factory cable, you can make one, saw prints someware

If adb would see it, there wouldn't be a problem :-D
I read that the factory cable is the same like connecting the Xoom with standard USB cable + power cable !?
Could Windows recognize it with adb if Linux doesn't (it worked with Linux before, of cause) ?
If factory cable doesn't work, any other sugestions ?
Would Motorola get it that I accidently killed it or could it become a guarantee repair ?
Any experience with that ?
Thanks in advance,
zwiebelchen89

I wish I could find a good write up on what you can achieve with thwe cable.
keep us posted.
sorry I offered no real help.

Motorola Factory Cable from Team Black Hat
This is the cable information but it really won't help your situation. http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-style-programming-cable-for-Motorola-FactCable.htm
You seem to have formatted your internal storage partitions and I guess you must have erased the files needed to boot. Maybe Motorola can reflash your system and rebuild your partitions for you. Maybe there's another solution, but unless you could somehow access fastboot or some other recovery in order to flash your stock images, I don't know what else you could do.
I'm really sorry and wish you good luck in finding as solution.

im sure moto has a way to flash the ssd in a dd (like in linux) type fashion, I can't see them throwing away unit because of a small failure.
I'm sure the basic bios is fine just has nothing to read anymore.
I hope someone who knows shares the info. try calling moto and get to a high level tech and see if he will share the secret.
please update what you find.

Moved to Q&A.

I just had this same problem. Sent it back to moto for warranty repair. Xoom came back with same tiamat software and now booting. They would not relay exactly what happened.

Cool, thx, that sounds good !
I'll try it tomorrow I guess.
A few last questions (@vilacr or others):
Did you send it to motorola directly or did you return it to your dealer ?
In which country do you live ?

I went online to their support sight. Chatted with a rep. on their sight. He sent me and email detailing what we discussed, then had a box shipped via fedex next day. I am in the USA.

[Q] GoClever TERRA 90 (Root)?

Hi guys, recently i've recieved my new tablet (JellyBean 4.1)
It is fairly good for its price. I'm wondering if there is a possibility to root it. I can enter stock recovery but i cannt flash ANY zips, verification always fails. i've tried ZhuoDashi, root.zip, SuperOneCLick (even tried z4, andrunlock, gingebreak) I've also tried manual rooting via ADB by pushing SU, Superuser, and busybox, but still no awail...
Also it seems i dont have fastboot. i can enter reboot fastboot, but it just reboots normaly.

Bump?

The same problem here... anybody fix it?

Don't know, we may ask some senior members to look into it. But i doubt they will, tablet is not that popular...

Sorry for the off topic but do you have problems with the internal memory? I just installed some apps and now I'm unable to update due to low memory in he internal (400 mb). I've search for a solution but there isn't for non rooted devices and that's how I ended up here .
It has a lot of native apps that cannot be uninstalled or moved to SD. I like this tablet a lot but if I'm unable to install or even update some apps I'll try to exchange it for another model.

so i need root for my 3g modem... but maybe you can help me without root^^
goclever service told me that 3g modem GOCLEVER GCM02 should work with this modem (terra90)
so i bought it, connect and nothing :|
i turned off wifi, check acces point, tablet correctly find mmc so it sense this modem. i click on blue circle on the right, wait wait and NOTHING.
so your tablet work with 3g modem? or what should i do?

Dunno

[Q] Need Help Re-Flashing Device

Hi --
I have a Samsung Nexus S that I bought used for development purposes.
I ended up using it temporarily as my phone so when that was ended I decided to do a factory reset of the device.
However, it did not succeed! I wound up with the green Droid lying down with the red triangle. I've tried various ways to reboot the device but it appears there is no ROM for the device to load up.
I am also unable to get ADB to recognize the device. It certain situations it will appear in my Device Manager (Windows 8.1 64-bit)
I see options to load a ROM via USB or "ADB sideways" from the recovery menu. However, since I can't get ADB to recognize the device and there isn't a micro SD slot, how do I get a new ROM on to this device? Is it even possible?
I only paid $40 for the phone on eBay but would like to return it to a usable development phone if possible.
Thanks
Rich

HI --
Okay I did discover that I can access the device via Fastboot so I guess I just need help on where to download the right ROM(s) to flash to the device?
Rich

instructions and needed files are here
developers.google. com/android/nexus/images
p.s. since I cant post links yet, I had to put an empty space in front of .com

Thanks so much.. I'll give that a shot.
Rich

let us know if you were succesfull or not

It should be quite straightforward. Let us know if assistance is needed.

[Completed] Oneplus One bootloop with Linux

Apologies if something similar has already been posted on here already. I have had a look, but can't seem to find anything.
I was trying to root my oneplus one this evening, and was following a very useful link here....
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/like-a-boss-how-to-root-your-oneplus-one.58493/
....and got to the bit that says "sudo fastboot oem unlock" - waited a minute, and the phone rebooted showing the android and 1+ logo. But before anything else happens it turns itself off, then back on again. And continues to do this indefinitely. I can get it into fastboot mode, but not recovery. When it is in fastboot mode the pc doesn't recognise it. Something obviously isn't right, but I'm not sure what. I'm guessing something is possibly corrupt.
What I think I need to do is firstly, get the pc to recognise the phone somehow. Secondly, install a recovery on to it and thirdly, flash a rom. I've been scratching my head all night trying to work out how to get the phone recognised, and Googling like a teenager who's just discovered porn is available on the Internet.
Is there anybody out there who is familiar with Linux who can possibly walk me through what I need to get my phone working again?
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and for any help that may be offered.

Question Rog Phone 5 Brick

Hello to all,
I apologize in advance for this message.
I mistakenly bricked my phone,
It was running WW-18.0840.2201.226 (Android 11).
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use it again, but I'm sure I'll be able to use it again in the future.
The recovery mode does not work anymore. It remains stuck on the logo.
Concerning the device manager :
In Bootloader, nothing is detected
When I test the recovery mode, it detects 'Android Composite ADB interface'.
However, the ADB commands do not work (Unauthaurized)
This is a call for help, I don't know which tutorial to look at to help me.
Do I need to get a Deep Flash Cable to restore the phone?
Excuse my English, I'm French ^^'

Hi, I'm not sure, but I think you will have to delete this POST... It doesn't respect the forum rules... That said, you can follow this link for your problem. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...to-unlock-bootloader-to-modify-country-cn-to- ww.4353865/não lido

Hi Rico,
If I have to delete the post I will do it, it's not a problem.
Do you think I can put this post in the topic you gave me?
I had come across it in my research but I didn't know if it needed a Deep Flash Cable
I didn't know that my problem was similar to the one in the post because I don't have a 9008 mode

There is nothing wrong with your post at all.
Do you have access to see and send Fastboot commands to the phone when on the bootloader screen? You need to get that right first and get your driver on your PC sorted. Forget ADB, that's not going to help you here.
Once you have sorted the above, doing a RAW flash following one of the guides you can find on this form with a rom version that matches your device should get you back on track.
At this stage you shouldn't need EDL or a deep flash cable before exploring the above option.
Good luck.

Hello Andrologic,
Thanks for your reply
I only have access to the Bootloader with 'Start / Restart Bootloader / Recovery Mode / Power Off'.
I bought a Deep Cable, this one detects me when I connect it to the pc, previously my other cables did not want it
So I can indeed use the Fastboot commands whereas before I couldn't

Thank you very much Andrologic!
The phone works like magic again, I can't believe it T_T
When I should do the updates, should I reflash the phone?
It doesn't offer me any new ones even though I'm on Android 11

Nice. No, I would suggest updating the conventional way, i.e download ROM for ASUS and let the device pick it up and flash it. If you have TWRP installed, you can flash from there too, but there is no need for that unless the first method is not working
