Daughter loves her xoom but a few days ago her password quit working- same password she has used since she got it in 2012, plus it doesn't show my wifi network on the unlock screen anymore. Xoom is bone stock with all current updates.
I figure it was stuck in a loop and attempted soft reboot-no luck...on to hard reset, pwr+down vol., goes to android recovery but no selection available just a picture of android on it's back with access hatch open and a large red triangle containing an exclamation point...froze up at that point but would soft reset and reboot to unlock screen but still no-go on the password and no-go on identifying the network.
I have gone through this 5-6 time since with no luck but now it will not go to android recovery, but instead "starting fastboot protocol support" comes up every time in LH corner of the screen.
I have exhausted my limited knowledge...any ideas??? Motorola support online was a waste of time and they want $100 if I send it in.
Thank you in advance.

When you are in the android robot screen, press both volume up and power button and the recovery option will appear. You can do factory reset from there and delete user data to reset the password as well

Tried it when the robot appeared...nothing. It was frozen and I had to soft boot to get out. Now it won't even go to recovery, it goes dtraight to "starting fastboot protocol support" and then freezes.

Thanks, but it won't even go to recovery anymore- just to fastboot protocol support. No matter what I do. Should I try a complete battery drain and then recharge and see if something resets and allows access to recovery again? I'm out of ideas.
Thank you again for the suggestions.

Hmmm that's odd. If i may suggest, maybe you can try sbf too since it requires you to go to fastboot as well. But that's the very last resort everyone could ever do to their device. Never knew about battery drain method but you can try your way if you want to

Since you still can get to "starting fastboot protocol support", you can still use fastboot from command line.
Go google this "Motorola Xoom final rescue". It will teach you how to flash it back to
Stock Rom (Honeycomb).
Once your Xoom back in action, you can always upgrade it back to Jellybean.
You can boot into recovery using below command if USB debugging is enabled.
> adb reboot recovery
After around 5-6 hours this morning/afternoon, I've officially given up on fixing this on my own, and I've all but accepted my device to be a $600 paperweight.
I decided to make one last attempt at saving it by posting for help.
Problem: My phone has a feature called "FRP" (Factory Restore Protection), which is tied to one's Google account. Basically, if you have a Google Account on the phone, it locks the phone to any custom binary/custom OS/whatever.
Once I realized this, in order to root my phone, I went in and removed my Google accounts. Sure enough, this disabled the FRP Lock, and I was able to root my device.
After rooting my device, I re-added my Google accounts and went about my business for the next couple of weeks or so.
Just this morning, my phone was having issues charging, so I decided it'd be a good idea to give my phone a reboot. Big problem. It turns out I simply haven't ever turned off my phone since I rooted it. On top of that, I didn't think the FRP Lock would apply to booting the phone, I thought it only affected flashing new firmware. I was wrong.
After my phone turned off, red text appears at the top of the screen: "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock".
This is the problem. It simply cannot boot. Because it cannot boot, I cannot remove the Google accounts to disable the lock and resolve the problem. Because the lock can't be disabled, I can't flash the phone's original firmware, because FRP Lock will stop anything and everything I try to do.

Goodbye 1k+ photos on phone... And, well, goodbye *phone*.
Unless someone has any helpful thoughts! And that's why I'm here.
tl;dr: Soft bricked phone due to FRP Lock. Not able to restore original firmware, factory restore, or boot into phone's operating system.
Important: The phone turns on, and I have access to the recovery menu as well as "Download Mode"
---
What I have tried:
Factory restoring through the recovery menu, doesn't have any effect
Flashing stock firmware through Odin (Nand write failure)
Flashing a custom recovery environment (TWRP) through Odin (FRP Lock blocked this flash)
ADB and Fastboot cannot recognize the device
Tried to use Kies 3 and Smart Switch to "re-initialize" my OS or something. Both failed, saying that my phone wasn't compatible, and that my serial number was invalid (it was, in fact, correct)
---
And I probably did more things that I simply don't remember. The point here is that I've done everything, and literally everything has failed for one reason or another.
I feel like it is a possibility that if I attempted another stock ROM, then I might be able to avoid the Nand Write Failure. But again, I don't know, and I've almost accepted that I need to start looking for cheap alternative phones.
Thanks in advance, I really hope that this can be fixed one way or another. I'd be sad to see my photos disappear, but if it was the only way for my phone to work again, I could live with it.
have you tried delete the operating system and then flashing a stock rom using odin
by deleting the OS you have a blank phone with google deleted, thus disabling FRP lock.

I thought about doing that, but I have no way of wiping the phone. What do you suggest?
you can wipe the phone through recovery. it is under the advance section. you will need to delete each section manually.
1. Go to download mode
2.Untick auto reboot,
3.Flash twrp
4.do not reboot to system, reboot to recovery.
5. Install super su and reboot system
Done.

When I try to flash TWRP (or anything for that matter), FRP Lock blocks the flash.

Go to the developer settings and unlock "oem unlock" thing. Try again.

I was unable to boot into the phone.
However, I've more or less resolved the issue.
The issue was that when I was first trying to flash stock firmware, I was using an old version. I've read since then that that doesn't work. So I spent 15 hours+ downloading the latest firmware of 6.0.1, and sure enough, it flashed successfully.

Would this work with the Samsung Account Factory Reset Protection?
Got phone financed thru payjoy, it was cool until i realized how much control the app actually had, as stated in previous threads cannot change any options as a device administrator, and all developer options are grayed out except oem unlock, demo mode, Include bug report. Tried the master reset from recovery, states MDM doesnt allow... Come on already lol, HHHHHEEEEELLLLPPPPPP.
I wouldn't recommend it to be honest. It probably checks in with their servers regularly. They might come looking for it if it stops xD
Ok actually I have found a way to not only disable it but delete it, getting rid of it completely. I did it on my Note 5, message me

Why not just post the method here for everyone to use?
Pretty sure it involves setting screenlock security to reset the device after 10 wrong login attempts, then forcing those wrong attempts one after the other until the device factory resets itself
No actually it doesn't, it's been awhile see if I can refresh memory, after I figured it out, I thought wow how simple
If I remember correctly, in the security section of settings, there is a selection you can mark that forces a factory reset upon restart of device, therefore getting the pay joy as a device administrator. Then use a file manager, and find the com.app folder and delete the rest
This worked for me on a Samsung J7 Pro (G610M). Just enable OEM unlock at developer options!
1- Go to settings - lock screen and security and set a PIN lock, like 1234..
2- You will se a menu (Secure lock Settings), click on it and set "Auto factory reset". This opcion will factory reset your device after 15 wrong attempts to unlock the Screen.
3- Turn OFF the Screen and enter wrong the PIN code 15 times on your device, the the Phone automaticaly will reboot and it will perform a factory reset by it self. When it turns ON the "PLay Joy" will be erased.

yes your right, i apologize, but i wanna say that on the Note 5, i didnt have to do the so many wrong attempts, I was able to do and auto factory reset upon system reboot.
at the last try it give error:
"device turned off. contact IT admininstrator"
So, any solution guys ?
Have a note 8 with payjoy, none of these methods posted here has worked.
Any help with this payjoy?
Have a note 8 as well. Jas anyone figured it out yet.
Whats your phone current firmware compilation?

why doesnt a factory firmware flash fix this? or even an unbranded flash like the U1? if the payjoy app has root/SU/admin rights and is able to make the phone a paperweight, then it should be removable with a factory flash with the regular CSC. @detection what am i missing about this? i mean after the FRP lock is bypassed that is

Hi there,
apparently I screwed something up while trying to prepare my 6X for Lineage
I did the OEM unlock but FRP Lock is still active and somehow this prevents me from doing anything else.
The combination of problems seems quite special, I've found (and tried) a lots of tipps for softbricked devices here but unfortunately none of them worked for me.
When restarting I get the warning that the device is not secure and will boot now - however it is stuck on "booting now" until the battery is drained.
It starts into Android when charged again but on every restart it will be stuck again.
When in "booting now" only Vol- key combination works when connected via USB to a PC. All other combinations (Vol+ , Power and Vol+/-) have no effect. Doesn't matter if connected to PC or not.
I can only get into fastboot, however I can't flash images (remote command not allowed), seems to be because of FRP lock.
The device is recognized (fastboot devices) and HiSuite sees it too. Drivers are OK IMHO.
Simply locking it again is not possible, the fastboot lock/unlock options don't work and when booted OEM unlock is greyed out in the options.
dload method is not available, because I can't get into erecovery since the key combination doesn't work.
I also tried factory reset, but:
doing it in the options doesn't work - it reboots and is then stuck in booting. After charging it everything is still there, so no reset at all.
doing it with *#*# 2846579#*#* doesn't work - says can't do it because I have a google account. Removed the device from my account, message remains.
erecovery is not available, can't get in the menue
Any help is greatly appreciated, I would be very happy to just restore it to default settings.
Cheers
Did you removed your screen lock password before unlocking bootloader?
yes, i did. At the moment I don't have a screen lock pw set. Should I set one?
Maybe you need to use dc unlocker
hm, not sure. I got the unlock code from Huwai and it worked. I read up on dc unlocker, how do you think it could help?

Look into DC unlocked Phoenix. It can write to the phone in fastboot mode if the bootloader and frp is locked. I used it and it worked... Cost 20 dollars not better than buying a new phone
Thanks, will try it in the next days and post my results.
Is there a way to check this? I tried adding the phone months ago but nothing seems to happen. In developer options, when I tried to "add account and device" I get a pop up "Couldn't verify". Currently the top of the Mi Unlock Status screen says "This device is locked" so I guess my attempt to request an unlock so far have not worked.
Anyone?
When you start your phone, if its bootloader is unlocked you have the word Unlocked in the center bottom of the screen with the Mi logo.

Very helpful, mine does not, so I guess my attempt to register for unlocking has failed. Anyone know what I can do?
