The files were posted today. Remember to grab the MZ604 files if you have the Wifi only version of the Xoom.
http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/ <------ Grab the files here. The files are for the US version of the Wifi Xoom only.
Instructions to return it to stock
1) First you need the Moto Drivers - Read this thread to START you - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981578
Should have these drivers installed if you have rooted your Xoom before.
2) Make sure you have the latest SDK - adb and fastboot should be in /platform-tools - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Should have the android SDK if you have rooted your Xoom before.
3) Place all the downloaded stock image files into the SDK Tools folder.
4) If you are booting up from scratch, you can get the Xoom in fastboot mode by doing the following. Use command prompt to perform the rest of the steps
Hold VolDown and Power button will boot unit for fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
If you Xoom is booted up already follow the commands below using command prompt to perform the steps
adb reboot bootloader <---- reboots the Xoom into fastboot mode.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
You noticed this too I see. Glad you posted this as a new thread. I was just randomly posting that link in threads where stock images may have helped.
I'm not home to try it yet but I'm guessing that's a US image?
Ahhhhh finally.
i just followed this process, everything worked on the xoom wifi (US), im back to stock and everything is ok so far.
but im an idiot and pressed vol up instead of down on the last step (oem lock) which aborted the oem lock step. before i did this i was rooted, so i think technically im still rooted.
can i simply go back into fastboot oem lock and try again and press the rightbutton this time to re lock the xoom or would that brick it?
ok thanks guys!

If you want to be extra safe, start over from the beginning. You're probably still unlocked (but not rooted) if you managed to flash boot and system.

Only if you can get into fastboot mode AND your computer can see it. But if I recall, neither ADB, Fastboot nor RSD Lite will see your Xoom?

Hi Scourge1024,
Are you going to try and flash the images to your Canadian Xoom AND then see if you can OEM re-lock it again??
I haven't been able to find out if all the WiFi images ie US, Canadian or European are all interchangeable on a Wifi only xoom??
I guess what I'd like to know is, if I ever wanted to re-lock my UK xoom, could I simply flash the Motorola MZ604_HWI69 files, then oem re-lock OR would have to wait for European Motorola backup files?
Cheers
Ody
what he said ^
Just tried downloading the Wi-fi files... On both my Mac and PC, it's saying it can't extract the ZIP. Crap crap crap crap crap...
If i remember correctly, scourge said that both devices are exactly the same hardware. Therefore flashing either version's set of images is irrelevant as long as you do WIFI for that model and 3G for that one.

Nope. I'm done being the guinea pig (with the OEM locking). I bricked my first Xoom trying to OEM lock it. I managed to lock it a few times. Then I tried a different boot.img and bricked...
Personally, I have no issues flashing the US image on. It's just the re-locking. There's really no point to relock it. The Americans with the 3G/4G Verizon ones had to be able to relock for a hardware upgrade. I have managed to flash US images onto my Xoom but they were extracted by BeagleBoy here. I posted a comparison here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13070124
The software is interchangable between the MZ604 Xoom models (Wi-fi only). There are a bunch of other Brits using the Canadian images I extracted from me and my friend's XOOMs. I've used the US ones. You just need to do a "fastboot -w" after flashing both the system and boot images because going between versions sometimes requires userdata to be wiped.

Yep, IIRC, ext maintains a mount count. One'd need some file system tools to properly verify.

Fair do's - I don't blame you! You've done enough As you say why re-lock on WiFi?
What I would really like to do is flash all the images to my UK WiFi Xoom and then try to install Bignadad's BigDX Xoom|Zoom Theme..
Previously flashing this theme soft-bricked my UK xoom - got loads of Force Closures. Installing the extracted images from you, still caused the same problem. Maybe it only works on the US WiFi Xoom, but I might re-flash with 'stock' ROM to see if that makes any difference? (I do have CWM nandroid backups in case of another soft brick!)

Use Windows 7. Rsdlite doesn't work on Windows 10 if I'm not mistaken, probably also on 8/Vista.
Sent from my XT1562 using XDA-Developers mobile app
wont work
I downloaded wine/wineloader on my mac because i have no windows and then i downloaded and used rsdlite for windows 7 but it still wouldnt read
Rsdlite was also unable to detect my Moto X Play. I tried Rsdlite on two laptops both running Window 7 as well as tried different data cables but to no avail.
Was the phone in fastboot mode when you connect it to rsdlite?
Sent from my XT1562 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yes, mine was in fastboot. And I tried various advice from various forums but no success
its stuck on the bootloader screen, i tried it on windows 7 computers and windows 8, my phone wont be detected by any computer, its called "lux" and somethings wrong with the driver, i uninstalled it, installed it again (motorola device manager), in driver settings i uninstalled it, downloaded the latest update for the driver) and my phone would still not be recognized by rsdlite or the computer in general BUT when i tried using the verizon software repair software on my mac, it was read as razr 2 but it would get stuck at 6%

What ROM were you on when you tried Kingroot? It worked perfectly for me after I returned my Xt1564 to stock, then ran Kingroot, I trashed the root app that it installed and replaced with SuperSu Pro. Has been working like a charm for weeks.

Don't worry too much. Rsdlite works perfectly. It might show unknown device but it works
Dear All,
I have a Problem with my Moto X play XT 1562. I have brought it a year back.
For some strange reason, My phone stopped working all of a sudden.
when I connect it to a PC via USB I'll get a boot-loader menu which says "StartUp failed Please connect the phone to a software repair assistant on the PC". Though I have figured out the problem I am unable to do anything about it.The problem is simple yet complex at the same time,
Problem: Though I have rooted many android phones previously, I never rooted this one. So My boot-loader is locked. I have got the Unique unlock key from Motorola site But when I get to this commad
HTML:
fastboot oem unkock [MY_UNLOCK_KEY]
I get an error message saying "Check 'Allow unlock OEM' in developer options". But my phone is not booting so far so that I can check that.
The basic problem is, My phone's OS is corrupted and I am unable to boot a new OS to it, As the boot loader is locked, I am unable to unlock the boot loader because I have not checked on 'Allow OEM unlock'. I am unable to check 'Allow OEM Unlock' because I The os is corrupted. - (This looks like a riddle )
1.Is there any way I can either bypass this?
2.Is there any way I can check 'Allow unlock OEM' using fastboot or any other tool?
I have tried the following already,
1.tried to clear user data and cache with fastboot - Still remains the same
2.tried to flash a recovery image even though the boot-loader is locked - No Use.
3.contacted service centre just to realise that I have to change the PCB which will cost me a new phone!
Can anyone of you please help me out with this.
Thanks a Ton in Advance.

You can still flash the firmware that is meant for your model/carrier without unlocking bootloader. run getvar all command in fastboot to determine what firmware exatly do you need if unsure.

Connect your phone in fastboot mode and type this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
in output look for this:
Code:
(bootloader) ro.build.fingerprint:
It's the firmware version that you currently have on your phone. Download exactly the same one and you'll be able to flash it with bootloader locked.

Your emmc ship is corrupt. That means your whole storage is broken and not fixable.
But i am able to flash some of the contents of the stock ROM. I get this "Pre flash validation failed" error only when I try to flash some of the files like (system.img_sparsechunk.0-9,recovery.img and gpt.bin). I even tried to reset the emmc_chip, I says that the command was succesfully executed.
Is there any other option left??

In my case I had. 52 version of the ROM. I had a locked bootloader boot loop. But I was able to fix it using rsdLite. Are you using the latest version of the firmware and connecting the ports at the back of the pc? Also install proper drivers
You need to use RETASIA DS, the most recent version

Hey install Fastboot files and download twrp image for Lux and place it in the Fastboot folder.
Then run :- Fastboot reboot recovery.img
It will boot to twrp.
Any update for this? I'm in a similar situation now :-/

Just an FYI type thing that may save people a bit of digging around sometime.
I tried to get the update that just came out, but as i had TWRP as recovery, no good. Anyhow, in my trying i completely bollixed the phone. Would start, but always booted to TWRP and had various conniptions. Could not even get a TWRP backup to load. Strange not encountered before by me stuff............
Anyhow, recovered by the following method to stock and am back in business.
Boot into bootloader fastboot mode.
Extract .xml.zip format firmware file:
eg: CEDRIC_NPP25.137-15_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
to a folder on c drive of the PC that has the ADB and fastboot files in it.
In command prompt cd\ to that directory.
fastboot flash the following in sequence.
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk4
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
boots to stock .

After this, Motorola system update installed. On Australian XT1676 is build number NPP25.137-15-7
Patch level 1-May-2017
Still get the I cant be trusted page on power up as have unlocked bootloader.
Many thanks to all at XDA, its a resource that can certainly get you into trouble, but then out of it again.
where do you get the stock firmware?
Think I worked out what I did wrong. Somehow, I changed the format of the data partition. Fat fingers at some point??
TWRP backups didn’t like that and would not mount or write to the data partition as it was not f2fs format that the backup had been made in??
Anyway, restored data from a TWRP backup after going to ....wipe…format data. All good.
That gave me the passcode lockout issue at next reboot which can deal with.

Slow, but got it. At first i thought it was corrupt as TWRP wouldn't flash it. My gumby. The .xml.zips apparently need to be extracted and flashed file by file.
We're you able to revert to a locked bootloader after this, I am looking forward to do so

didnt try, didnt need to for taking take the update.
And, from my reading there is no way so far to relock the bootloader. I got it to stock, with stock recovery, and that was enough for me.

I can confirm what you said, but I am asking because I am sick of the warning before the device starts

You can get rid of that easily
Put phone in fastboot mode
Download logo from link below
Enter the following in a windows command prompt where you have fastboot files & the logo file
Code:
fastboot.exe flash logo logo-g5-fix.bin

Thanks, but this is why I made a Google pixel themed logo.bin and used a matching boot animation to go with it some time earlier
downgrade
thanks for the guide
- can i use this method to downgrade to this version?
- can i do this without unlocking the bootloader
- if it goes wrong can i unlock the bootloader later (i have an unlock code)
- is there a reason why we don't flash sparsechunk.0 ?
thanks in advance

No you cannot downgrade (same firmware version or newer required)
Yes - unlocked bootloader not required
As long as your phone still goes into the bootloader
You should flash all sparsechunks in number order
Thanks a bunch,
So to be absolutely clear, my phone shipped with NPP25.137-15-7 i can't install the stock rom linked, and the same version isn't out yet,
if i unlock the bootloader, would i be able to downgrade ?
Is the software channel setting preserved across this method?

You maybe able to - there are different variants of the same phone
As long as the firmware is the same or newer (as in the bootloader and API version) it may flash
It will either flash or error out
There's only one way to find out - if your phone is dead anyway it's not going to make alot of difference
No - generally you can never downgrade firmware - doing so would be dangerous and you may loose the bootloader for good
thanks again,
motoboot.img is the bootloader you talk about? is the partition layout described somewhere? would custom roms use a different one here?
do tell me by the way if i should get this information elsewhere/if i should read something to get started in the whole moto g world.

You can write in adb
Code:

You're partially right. These commands won't work for our files. You have to flash the firmware according to the instructions contained within the "flashfile.xml" file within the archive. For example we have no "motoboot" partition
I've flashed every stock package available now (4 I think) and haven't been offered an update once. I've ran a couple of custom ROMs but they're just not right in one way or another. Might be time to move on.

I upgraded to this and since then can't downgrade the phone to the stock roms available online. From memory trying to flash gpt.bin gave a "Security version downgrade" error. So I wouldn't assume you'll be able to downgrade and until there is a copy of this particular firmware, you won't be able to flash back or relock the bootloader

Hi,
I put all information into "zui.com/iunlock" correctly, but I get a "Please enter the correct IMEI1" error, and I'm entering it correctly
Please help...
If it's a brand new phone, the imei is not registred by the website at the start.
After a couple of day of use it must work.
Same problem for me at the start and after two day of using the phone my imei is working on the website.
Thanks for the reply
Do I need to put my sim in the phone?
Or is it enough just to connect to wifi?
I used my sim for about 3h, and I got the site to take my IMEI!
Now my bootloader is unlocked
Thanks
Your welcome
I received my smartphone for 10 days. but my emei is still not recognized.
I installed a firewall and everything is blocked except the browser and the messages. I have to authorize a specific program for zui to integrate it?
hello, after 25 days of waiting my imei still did not pass. yesterday I sent an email to devworld and today I had my file
YES :good:

Good to know, thank's for the feedback
Bypass
I had the exact same issue and for some weird reason the weirdest glitch ever helped my bypass ZUI all together:
I made a little .bat file to automate all the adb and fastboot commands once I'd get the bootloader unlock file
I didn't know for sure if I had referred to the subfolders in my adb map correctly so I wanted to test it out:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash unlock ".\Z6 Pro\Bootloader.img"
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot reboot
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta ".\Z6 Pro\vbmeta.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery ".\Z6 Pro\twrp.img"
that's what it was gonna be^
but to test out if I had referred correctly I changed vbmeta.img's name into bootloader.img since it was the first path and I expected it to fail but this way I'd at least find out if I got a file not found error or a incorrect boot loader unlock file error.
It flashed correcty, the os is stable and I just installed TWRP.
Idk if this can be done with any img, but the vbmeta file shouldn't have done that. XD
