So I may be getting a xoom rather soon and was wondering. Is anyone working on a recovery for this yet? I know you guys are still waiting on USB host support from Motorola but is one being developed?

Koush has a working recovery but is waiting for Moto to enable the microsd slot before releasing it.
Koush, myself, and a few other folks have recovery but it is useless without the sd driver. Also, USB Host is already working. Perhaps recovery could mount USB Host though... interesting...
lol, I was thinking that when I saw the USB host mode stuff come out. Sounds like you are gonna save me the trouble of finding out if it works. I am still waiting for my cable, but that wiwiukd be awesome if it workd.
Yeah I meant the microSd slot. So should I get it? It's most likely gonna be a wifi only model. It still comes with GPS right?

Why not work it to back up to the eMMC storage? Then at least we could copy it to a PC or something...

i have had no problems with otg in 3.1. using rooted wifi xoom (BRD method).
Is there a command I can run in terminal from my tablet to reset the USB port? I hate having to reset the xoom to get it to see usbOTG devices every few times

Just an update and maybe it will help someone. I updated and rooted by means other than bdr method. I just used step four. Well I didn't have constant access to usbotg and would have to reboot. I started from scratch using bdr steps 1-4 and now usbotg is working like it should.

USB has been broken for a while....at the time i had Z's FreeX10 2.2 rom installed and running well recently updated to FreeXperia CM7.0.1 GB2.3.3 rom but realized that it had some bugs....accelerometer lag and a few other things. I was stuck on BB52 so couldn't flash newer GB 2.3.5 roms
Yesterday I found another rom that I decided to give a shot, this would put me back to froyo CM6.4, but this rom had GB features, and it was said to work on BB52 so i downloaded and flashed following the steps exactly. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151933
Now my phone is constantly rebooting....no microSD (not mounted) no WIFI(error) no 3G...and as mentioned above my USB is broken. Can't get into xRecovery. When the phone loads i have a few minutes to browse before it reboots...so I have a short window to change some things.
I'm pretty sure there's nothing I can do to fix this, so it's basically a brick, but if you guys have any ideas...i'm willing to try your suggestions.
Thanks!
U probably need a baseband patch from coborato. Your probably on achjotans Rom. If u.can some how download that patch and flash it in recovery before it reboots you'll b fine. But honestly id get the phone repaired if I were u. These new gingerbread roms are amazing

Yeah that's the one i'm on right now. I did flash the baseband patch before booting into the new rom....that didnt help...and now I cant load into xRecovery. Tried repairing the USB port twice now, both times no luck. Official SE repair shop said that it's not repairable since the problem is with the main board. Ah well...gonna have to wait till my contract runs out Thanks for your suggestion tho.
Before when xRec had this "Unable to access SD card" issue...
I found an MicroSD USB adapter where i could just plug in my SD card into it, and it becomes an USB stick.
From that i just transfered a new rom/etc, then just unplug and jam it back into my phone.
Not sure if that helped at all but ya, if you have a broken USB Connection... that'll be a smart alternative~
Good luck mate,
J.T
I'd probably go with the above suggestion, get a micro sd card reader and transfer the needed files that way, boot into recovery and install them. Or whip out your tools and disasemble your phone and re-solder the broken usb if possible. Good luck with any way you choose!

thats so bad
If you could of access recovery that would of had been great because you could buy a card reader insert your sd install desired rom and flash whit recovery but not so sure about baseband since you have broken usb :/

I can't figure out how to get USB mount to work in ICS rom. USB debugging is enabled but the storage never shows up on pc...
Does this not work yet? I know I can go into twrp and get it working that way... but would be cool to be able to do it inside ICS.
By the way I am loving this rom, can't wait for audio/video fix.
Keep up the good work. Bout time for me to start donating.
Yes, this is a known issue with the current pre-alpha ics rom. You can use twrp to mount if need be.

Cool thanks, I was going to add it to the bug tracking sheet if it wasn't already added but some dbag decided to delete it all... I hope someone downloaded a copy and can put it back up...
These are the greatest days of each android season.... the early days... when stuff is broken and not yet functional....
this is a great time to polish off your adb skillz....
so while you wait for the Devs to fixit, try some adb pushing and pulling and mounting the more you do it the better off you are.
My friend (not a techy person) has a completely stock RAZR M which is bootlooping after a failed update. Phone itself has already been replaced but the old one has some important photos on it. I don't have the phone on me right now (will be trying to fix it tomorrow) but all my research tonight is telling me that data is probably unrecoverable. Figured I'd ask directly to be sure.
I will try booting to the stock recovery and clearing cache. My understanding is that ADB won't be able to pull files because my friend wouldn't have enabled USB debugging before this happened. A factory reset would wipe user files so that's no use.
Any tricks I can pull here? Possible to flash a custom recovery while bootlooping? Would that allow ADB access? I'd appreciate any help, so I don't have to deliver bad news
Look into house of moto... I believe (I've never used it) it has an option to flash without wiping internal SD (like I said I believe)... So you'll have to either flash the version s/he was on or a version higher... Then pull the files via USB or SD card...

That looks promising, thanks. I'll read up on it.
House of Moto using Keep Data or Universal should do the trick. Make sure to use the same firmware version the phone is on, such as do not downgrade. You can upgrade it though, so if unsure of version just get the newest version.

My girlfriends T mobile LG G2 D801 was dropped and the screen cracked and the digitizer only recognizes the left of the screen so she can not input her lock code. Being pretty android savvy I was hoping I could figure out a way to get CWM installed to be able to pull her pictures off the SD card for her. Unfortunately I can not connect to the phone through ADB since I can only assume she never turned USB debugging on because why would she? The phone is stock rom unrooted. I booted into the stock recovery and only have the option to wipe the phone which I would assume will wipe her sd card also. I booted into download mode and upgraded the recovery with the LG support tool for the hell of it. So obviously I'm able to install a new recovery that route but I cant find anyway to install CWM without a working screen or USB debugging already enabled. Does anyone have any suggestions? Bricking the phone trying isnt really a concern since it needs to be sent back to the insurance company anyway. Any help is appreciated.
I don't think you have to do all that work. What you can do instead is get a USB OTG Cable. Depending on how urgent it is, you can order it on eBay for a dollar OE two but it takes week to arrive. Or you can go to FRYS Electronic and get it for $5. Use the otg cable with a mouse to use the screen and upload all of the sd card to Google drive. Or you can make it so mtp is automatically enabled

Thanks, ill see if she can wait before it has to be sent back. So no way to flash a recovery in its state now?
Basically, it is hard to flash recovery without USB debugging or access to touch to be quite honest.

Thats what ive found also. Its too bad the lg tool cant be used to flash different recoveries like the samsung tool can.
