Hey all.
it seems i, along with a few others, have bricked our plays (See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13365748#post13365748)
Essentially, what we have done is, unlocked the Bootloader, then updated the software (through the phone settings, in my case, im not sure about the others)
it seems we need a recovery FTF for the updated software. does anyone have access to this? if so, could you get in touch with waz000000, or anyone else that may be able to help.
Thanks
PS. sorry to put this here, if its the wrong forum, i didnt have priveleges to post in development

asked in q&a but no response
hi guys,
i just bought a xoom in the uk as an impulse buy. usually i do a lot of reading on things like this so i dont usually need help when it comes to rooting, unlocking bootloader etc.
This has probably been asked but i tried searching and i just got more confused. I would like to know if the uk xoom (wifi only) can be rooted and if i can unlock the bootloader. i would like to install a jellybean rom if that is possible but i couldnt really find i guide on this particular version.
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

I'm sure this has been covered, must search harder!! LOL
Anyhow
I flashed this Rom on to my uk xoom. Doesn't matter that it's for the US one , well I've not seen any ill effects It also turns your device into a google experience device so updates come direct from google. You're a bit late to the party on that one however as they've dropped support in 4.2.1
Bootloader is unlockable through fastboot oem unlock ( this will wipe your data ), no hacking required.
That should give you something to start wifi!
Hi peeps, I've asked this in a couple of threads but the posts look a little dead.
I need help which i know the answer is out there somewhere but mostly in Spanish. Thats what it seems when it comes to the ZTE devices.
Ok so i rooted my L2 and put a custom recovery on that I first come across but never used before Carliv Touch 2.2.
I made a back up and then found a KK ROM. I installed the ROM but it didn't give me any UK network, so I used my back up and all was fine.
A couple of weeks later I done a stupid thing and completely wiped my device android along with it. I can still get in to the recovery but my backup says MD5 mismatch. I downloaded a custom ROM to my desktop and tried to sideload it in but that kept on failing.
I need help please, I have no idea what is going on. I know a little about these things but not so much when it comes to MTK devices.
Can anyone help, If someone can do a lil step by step for me with links to what I would need, I would be very grateful.
There's loads of tut's on the web but all in Spanish with links to firmware for their networks.
Again...... Please and Thanks
I tried following Sony's "walkthrough" for rooting my new X2A. It's a horrible walkthrough, as it took me a few youtube videos to understand how to get my bootloader unlocked. But now it is. And now I'm supposed to use Emma, which states is compatible with the X2A, but it sees my phone and states "No matching services". (See here [add an http before it though] : talk.sonymobile.com/t5/General-Discussion/Emma-Xperia-X2A-quot-No-matching-services-quot/m-p/1313898) So I have put in a request, but I'm asking here because I've found so many more answers that are from people with actual experiences who give answers.
The post on Sonymobile seems to warrant a reply of "Oh, sorry we didn't get updated for your phone" or "your phone's not supported anymore". But I figured this is the [one of the] newest phone they've released for dev options... Are there any other options to flash? It seemed that Emma would give me my Sony-fed options but still root. I'm not looking to run anything fancy; I just want my old root-requiring apps to work. And to uninstall most of Google.
Should I just resort to TWRP? Are there any images out there? I'd looked up whether the phone was rootable, how easy, etc. before I chose it, and I found a few forums that made it sound like it was super easy, Sony-supported, and whatnot. But now that I have it, I can't find anything of use.
Would appreciate any direction. Thanks in advance.
If I'm posting in the wrong section, please let me know, or move my post for me...
I'm trying to find an ADB enable firmware for boot loader version 5, kernal version 3, and system version 4. Or, at least, I think that's what I'm looking for. I know that's the boot loader I'm looking for though. Everything I find is for lower versions.
I have tried searching all through the forums, and google. Either I'm not wording things right, or I actually don't know what I'm looking for.
Right now I have the combination firmware installed.
Aside from the above;
I'm trying to remove my google account from my device because I forgot the password, and I only had the email logged in on the device. I know, I'm stupid for not removing it first before trying to flash anything else, but, alas...
Is there anyway to remove my google account from my device from the combination firmware? Boot loader is not unlocked...so probably a huge issue there. I've found quite a few resources that detail how to do this, but they all have older firmware versions for the "ADB enabled" firmware downloads.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Heck, I'm an IT guy, I'm willing to learn something and really get into the internals and tear this thing apart, even if it's in some buggy setup that could get me closer to goal. ( I know that makes it even worse that I didn't think to remove my account though, so please go easy on me..)
Dude you have to ask in "question/answer" section of this forum to find any help that could solve your problem.
Have a good day

Thankfully it was moved for me.
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Hi There!
Just got that phone and already posted a few questions in that thread, but i think it needs its own thread because this phone is old.
i read about RUU here but i dont know how to get it and use it and what data i need to find a match and where to get it.
i never used a HTC and only flashed old pixel tablets, so i never needed to unlock a bootloader
so i need a (quick) guide for whole flashing progress for a htc noob (ME ). maybe there are already some that i didnt find.
thanks in advance!
This video covers unlocking bootloader.
thanks! after downloadinng htc usb drivers it worked. now trying to flash smth
