Has anyone gone through the unroot/relock instructions and gotten the update notification...
I just want to see if that did indeed work and that it takes it back to true stock...
Just paranoid with updates and what not and want to be sure.
Thanks.
Doesn't sound like development to me
i wanna know if the same method for rooting the current honeycomb will work for the update. :/

Thanks. Just figured I'd post where the instructions were at for doing the relock unrooting. Sorry for wsting your time. Move the post. Or delete it then. Thanks again.
Here are detailed instructions of Unrooting and relocking Motorola Xoom.
I am having an issue unrooting and relocking...
Does anyone know what the problem is if after extracting the contents of HRI39 into \platform-tools after inputting adb reboot bootloader it does not accept any fastboot commands? It says its not a recognized command. Please help. Thanks in advance.

I don't know... If rooting is development, I'm not sure how unrooting isn't as well.
Moved to general.
Guys, Euroxooms are becoming expensive paperweights pretty quickly.
The boot image is what is bricking the devices as its not compatible when Root is being done.
Obviously we take the risks when we root, but im slightly PO with it Just kidding, i have faith in XDa and i hope to donate soon for such a worthy cause.
My question I pose to the devs is the following, Can someone source out a boot.img to recover back to Stock, for the Mz601 model? (3g / wifi Euro variant)
I see all the recovery and root for the Verizoom, but nothing for our Europe brothers here
Has there or is there, any work being done on recovering bricked devices?
A shot into the dark here .... have you attempted flashing the US system image?

I rooted my UK Xoom without problems but when I tried one of the BigDX Xoom themes I got loads of Force Closures.
I had no option but to flash the boot.img and system.img files taken from the Canadian (MZ604)
At least this recovered my Xoom to a working version and now works fine now running a rooted Xoom with the latest Tiamat Xoom 1.4.0 kernel.
I have now made a Nandroid backup using ClockworkMod Recovery should I have problems in the future.
Hopefully, someone will pull the recovery.img, boot.img and system.imf files from the UK Xoom???
Cheers
Ody
WAIT
Guys be patient, I have a stock system and boot image for us, we just need to get a recovery, DO NOT ROOT using the methods here, I will post a rooted boot for euro as soon as I can get it tested.
I have asked the people posting the root instructions to mention that it should not be used on the euro xoom's but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

I have the stuff already, except for the recovery I just don't have anyone to test it yet and theres no way I'm releasing without testing. I got it to work on my device but I had to go through an unusual and painful process.

I'm just re-iterating for everyone else who wasn't there
may i suggest that the Devs sticky this for the benefit of the European Xoom.
I bricked mine, bought in york, took to Portsmouth CPW and they replaced it there and then, you might not be so lucky, but i think we need to be careful with bricking it lol ,
On a lighter note, how do we dump our roms with boot, system image files, for the benefit of all those who want to unbrick their uk / euroxooms?
How did you brick your Xoom? You did'nt try and relock it? As I said no problems rooting my Xoom from PCWorld? PUP!!!!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
yep i did lock it and put a buggered boot.img on there
any update on the Euroxoomroot? xd
Id like to crack it open without having to worry about the bloody thing of bricking it again haha

That'll explain it! I may be wrong but to re-lock it, you would need to flash UK image files (boot.img, recovery.img and system.img). I'll leave my UK Xoom unlocked and rooted until Motorola release a proper recovery flash file?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
haha, yeah might be a good idea, you have a DHD too? XD, what you running on it ?
im currently on CM 7.0.2 xd , nice phone :_),
How did you get your root on your tab? i am desperate to root it as TitBAckup is a necessity xd plus i want to experiment, do you think its worth waiting till the files for the Eurotab are released?
When i try to boot my tab after the one click root, it was at that point it was bricked, i didnt try to lock it until after ,
weirdly enough though, i could still use fastboot after to do one click root, etc, and lock and unlock and install CWM,
Yep DHD running HDMix Gingerbread! To be honest I don't think you bricked your xoom if you can still get Fastboot? I don't know why one click root didn't work for you but did for me? That said Titanium isn't working for me with the latest Tiamat 1.4.0 kernel.
Also just to say my UK Xoom is WiFi only (not 3g) might explain why I could root mine?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
yeah if you have a wifi only xxom, thatll explain why you have bee able to use the 604 canadian images.
Quick question for you EU zone Xoom wifi owners... on the back of your device where the CE mark is, does it also list an FCC ID? If so what is it?
yes it does, erm, it would vary with the wifi model obviously, ill have alook abd get back to you

I really should have asked if there was a TUV registration number and FCC ID. (CE mark is a certificate of self conformance).
What I was trying to determine is if the hardware between the euro spec wifi xoom and the us spec wifi xoom are the same. If they are then both units could share the same fcc id. In theory the wifi Xoom could hold both a TUV ID, and FCC ID since there is in theory no need to make engineering changes between the units to meet compliance regulations, and because of the costs involved most companies tend not to make engineering changes if they do not need to.
The 3G units will obviously have variations because of the different Rx/Tx frequencies for the various cellular carriers, but
My WiFi FCC ID Number is IHDT56MT1
Me, Honestly Annoying, and 4 others are working getting root, and fastboot working on our device. As far as where we are at (as of this post), fastboot pulls up on the phone and the computer recognizes it, most fastboot commands work, but the ones involving unlocking the bootloader don't work. On every file we have tried up to this point, except for the userdebug I posted a bit ago we get file "signature verification failed", but that is due to a locked bootloader. we have been working nonstop to get the fastboot to function in our device so we can unlock our bootloader. If, and I mean if, this works right, it will easily be applied to quite a few devices. so, in short, we are working on it. We will release the files we have once we are SURE that they work like they are supposed to.
Just don't ask how long it's gonna take to be completed, cuz we honestly don't know. But we are working almost night and day to get this done
For real... Been day and night on this one
If anyone has any ACTUAL questions (ie. not an ETA), please ask them. If you would like to offer ACTUAL help (ie. not "I will test your root method" because there is none to test) please tell us here! Also, @autoprime you have been strangely quiet about all of this, can you offer some insight about where we are? It would be much appreciated

We don't think so, though we will have to do some testing on that...
And schizoid cross edited the T-Mobile aboot with our aboot to see if the fastboot commands will work, we're still testing that

We checked, it definitely isn't writing the aboot back when it boots. Still won't recognize unlock commands though...

No worries... this is OK
A while back Tungkick made me a TOT that booted into fastboot. Don't know what she did to edit it, but it works. However it did not recognize ANY fastboot commands, but once I enabled userdebug by editing the build.prop it started to recognize some of them. As far as aboot goes, that's all @schizoidd and I'll let him explain
ok so what has been edited and done. i looked at our aboot and compared it to tmobile's and noticed a few things were missing like the "welcome to fastboot" and a few other things. and on ours, there was some random characters that were in ours but not in t-mobile's nor on the verizon one, so on the stock edited, i just deleted that code. and like Honestly Annoying said, it booted without an issue. i also created another file with tmobile and sprint's aboot merged together and it also booted.
the things done on the merged aboot, sprint encryption, keysand a few other things, tmobile everything else. i have the files but will not upload to here until i know what's all going on
@autoprime ^^^ last post explains what we're doing
Have people been able to successfully root their Mediapads? I can't find any reliable/stable methods for TWRP or similar. The only solution at the moment is the one that greatslon created; no one/very few have confirmed that this works. Are there any stock firmwares/recoveries available yet either?
I followed the instructions given in the other thread. It was not a 1-click straight path, but it eventually worked just great and my M3 is rooted since a couple of months now, it works like a charm and it's super stable.

I'm French, bought it in France from a french dealer.
It does not look to be a french-specific model though, I would rather say "European model" as the included documentation comes in different EU languages.
In case that's relevant info my model is BTV-DL09 and build # is BTV-DL09C100B003
And from instructions given here, my OEMINFO is:
Vendor= hw
Country= eu
I'm located in the US (Atl) and we only have the WiFi only tablet here.
Model# BTV-W09
Build# BTV-W09C128B002
OEMINFO - ? Currently I can't boot TWRP or root so I can't retrieve it.
I do appreciate you sharing your info.

I'm in the same boat as you man. I posted in the greatslon thread that it didn't work for me and the OP nor anyone else cared to reply. I too have the US wifi only variant so maybe that's the reason why. As of right now I'm stuck using the stock device with just the bootloader unlocked.
I don't know why the hell this device isn't more popular it has stupid good specs and build quality for its sub $300 price. And an unlockable bootloader. You'd figure the dev community of the nexus 7 would be all over it.

There is one real thread with a mish-mash of different model numbers. I am sceptical to trust that one home-made/freelance custom recovery will be the solution for everyone. I appreciate all the work that has been put in, but without more evidence that it will work, I'm staying clear. It's a shame as this tablet looks and feels great; it just needs the freedom of root. Unfortunately, as the rest of the world moves onto Nougat, an unrooted Huawei tablet running Marshmallow becomes less appealing. Lets hope our devices don't die too early.
Model: BTV-W09
Build: BTV-W09C100B003
Greatslon modded version of TWRP works fine with the US variant of the MediaPad M3. After I gave up trying to simply boot into it rather than flash it over my stock recovery I've not had any problems. If it was bricking device's you would see numerous complaints in his thread. After it was discovered that there was a difference between tablets depending where you purchased it he corrected for it.

May I ask how you unlocked the bootloader? I emailed Huawei and they told me that they can't help me unlock it.....
While looking around and trying to compile TWRP and getting errors doing so, I have finall come accross a solution as to how to get GSI roms to boot, it seems we needed special flash instructions and im eve gonna test some other things later. But without further do, here are the instructions!
Step 1: Go here and read instructions CAREFULLY! "https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/"
Step 2: We need special flash instructions so flash this command. "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" (Special flashing instructions here https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...18&postcount=2)
Step 3: if it doesnt work, try again. I am currently booting into Phh-Treble.
Step 4: Rejoice as we can now get away from stock!
Credits where credit is due !
UPDATE: Okay so, pretty sure dm-verify is making it so it doesnt fully boot :/ still working on it.

what you want to do is downlaod the stock rom, unzup it to desktop. copy your boot.img to your phone. download magisk manager from the xda thread. install the manager and then patch the boot.img. reboot the phone and you'll see it in your downlads. copy that to your stock rom folder (you'll need adb and fastboot files). run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and youre rooted. but at this current time root is kinda pointless.
also... be sure to check out the root guide first. forgot you need to unlock bootloader and critical.

Also your right about this. There's currently no effective use for it right now. But there will soon be more in the future for the phone i believe. I think more people are starting to communicate and experiment with the RP2
