Xoom memory/flash LOCKED ???

Ok i will explain ...
Got my Xoom ROOTED but decided to put it back to stock, so I UNROOTED by flashing my Canadian 3.0 version, boot it up update to the 3.1 OTA and then setup my market, the XOOM FC out alot so i want to try "hacked firmware".
Boot to fastboot to flash CWM recovery, all the flash show completed OK, reboot into recovery to only found out that it's not there ... ok, try factory reset from the Recovery, all good and then the Xoom reboot ... all my data is still there, then try Setting > Private > factory reset ... all OK, but can boot into the Recovery to fully reset ... no problem, i will reflash a different version via Fastboot.
Try the US-Wifi version, all the flash/erase when OK but still at Canadian 3.1 ... then try installing ROM manager, install fine and working (of cause no Root access). Reboot and the ROM manager is gone ...
Look like the Memory of the Xoom somehow is LOCKED?
Anyone have a idea? i'm taking out the battery for 1h now and hope to have some reaction ... but still nada!!!
Help!!! Thanks

When you flashed the stock Canadian images did you relock your bootloader?
If you followed Moto's instructions completely it ends with relocking.
It sounds like you need to unlock again and go from there. You will still get the OTA updates if you are unlocked as long as you are completely stock, if that's what you're worried about.

Yup! Locked up so i can get OTA, since instruction are differences from person to person ... now, no mater if i unlocked it, it's look like the memory locked out ... like i have copy some files over it, and upon shutdown and restart, the file are gone on the Xoom ... it's like your CMOS on your computer only save data when it on power but lost when you shut it down (is there a backup battery on XOOM?)
Thanks

please .... any one?

Start over from scratch. If you want stock U.S. then use the U.S. stock imgs. Make sure that you use no Canadian imgs. If you want Canadian use the Canadian stock imgs. It looks like you flashed the wrong files together. I see people flashing U.S. stock then trying to root with their country imgs and it messes up. Use adb and fastboot flash moto stock imgs again, boot img, recovery img, system, erase cache, etc. Just remember if you use canadian, the you have to root with a Canadian file as well.

Been there, done that the fastboot flash toke all the flash steps but after it's just "like reversed back" to the original one ... i can even ERASE everything with fastboot and the Xoom still boot up with the "old image" is there a "Short or reset button" on the Motherboard? i have toke out the battery for 10h now
Thx

Sounds like you have not changed the files in your tools folder. I use a seperate folder for stock and root. Keeps me from flashing a file wrong. Make sure that is not happening. Did you try and oem unlock and reboot, then go back to fastboot and flash?

Yes, why lock?

Yep if you lock you can't flash. Go in and fastboot OEM unlock. Then you can update.

problem is not if the Xoom is locked or not, i have tried all possibilities so far, but some place they tell to lock it for OTA.

If it is locked you can't load any cwm or custom firmware.

Do you means the bootloader is locked? event "fastboot oem unlock" show successful unlock?
Please elaborate?
I wish there is nvflash that you can use like the Gtablet

Yeah bootloader locked. But if it says unlocked then try a different rom.

I have done all the Fastboot things without luck, bootloader version 1045 if anyone know how this is can be fix?
like i said, all fastboot command response with success ... so only way now is to see how can i short the memory to wipe out and restart ... any idea?
Thx

I will clear something up for you. You absolutely do NOT need to lock the bootloader for a ota.
In fact there really is NO reason to re lock the bootloader unless you are sending it for repairs.
Where over or who ever said to re lock it you should ignore them from now on.

thanks for the heads up ... i think it's needed a jtag now

anyone know how to get the SFU file out from a working Xoom so it can be used be RSD Lite for restoring?

Solved - Thanks anyhow - Factory Reset Gone Wrong - Assistance Required

EDIT: Its amazing how typing everything help when asking for help can give you an idea on how to fix it. I downloaded the recovery image manually, unpacked it once, loaded it up in RapidCRC to figure out its MD5, restarted the factory reset program, and bam all working. Guess I was just being dumb and overlooking the obvious. Thanks anyhow all. Sorry for the trouble.
Hello all, I am in quite the pickle and I hope someone here can help me.
Not long ago I unlocked my Nexus 10's boot loader and installed TWRP recovery and a rooted copy of 4.2.2. I did all of this using the latest Nexus root toolkit, and I had zero issues. However recently I decided to revert back to stock completely. This brings me to the problem I am having.
So this morning these were my exact steps. Again, the current state of my Nexus 10 before I did anything was Unlocked Bootloader, TWRP Recovery, and 4.2.2 rooted installed. Nothing else.
I loaded up the Nexus Root Toolkit and connected my tablet to my computer making sure to use a USB port that worked last time. Made sure USB Debugging was enabled and clicked the "Flash Stock + Unroot" button. I followed all the steps and selected the latest (4.2.2) recovery image. Everything appeared to be going ok. I will now post exactly what I saw on the flashstock.bat window below.

It then closed and showed the completion message in the console window and said something along the lines of "press any key to close". In the bootloader it said " fastboot status fail signature verification".
At this point I thought "well, maybe it did not send the reboot single" so I selected the reboot option from the bootloader and all it did was hang at the google logo. Nothing happened. Next I tried rebooting into the bootloader and selecting recovery. Here is where I got very worried as nothing happened except a black screen. Nothing at all. Its like it does not have a recovery system at all.
I tried redoing the whole process and the same thing happened. I hope someone can help me as I really have no idea what to do and am quite frightened I broke it. The only thing I can think that leads me to believe me I can salvage this is that I can still get into the bootloader and as a result I assume I can get into fastboot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much,

Glad you got it solved.

[Solved] Root with locked bootloader, flash failure XT907

Alright Ladies and Gentlemen.
Background: (skip if you don't think it's relevant)
I just bought a xt907 with the latest OTA.
I wanted root, however after looking into it, I read that the bootloader was forever locked from the new OTA.
But, me being as stubborn as I am, and always have had a rooted phone, I tried anyways, and with my surprise, somehow, I actually achieved root using motochopper after only clearing the dalvik cache and trying it for shiggles.
No backups.
Even though I couldn't flash a new recovery or a full rom without safestap, I just decided to mod the stock rom.
Installed pimp my rom, es file explorer, some app uninstallers for bloatware (no i didn't uninstall any COM files or important things), etc etc.
Then I Installed a font, didn't like it, went to try a few others.
NOW.
After installing a font and rebooting, I was stuck at the droid boot logo with the red eye and sparks flying about.
I booted into stock recovery, cleared the cache. Nothing. Reset to factory defaults. Nothing.
I was still stuck on the boot logo.
Now, the dumb part of my actions.
I downloaded matt's utility 1.20. I tried option 1, Which failed. So I tried option 2, flashing the recovery. Which was "successful".
Tried option 1 again, it keeps saying
Code:
sending 'system' (30720 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.318s]
writing 'system'...
OKAY [ 2.798s]
sending 'system' (30720 KB)...
OKAY [ 6.569s]
writing 'system'...
OKAY [ 1.358s]
Over and over again.
Now I can not boot the phone. AP Fastboot comes up.
Code:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode
(blah)
Device is LOCKED. Code 0.
No Valid PIV block in SP for system.
PIV validation failed (system)
Fastboot reason: Flash Failure
Same thing comes up when I try to go into recovery. Every time I turn on the phone, this comes up.
I tried RSD Lite, to flash the old rom back on, it keeps failing. I keep trying to flash VZW_XT907_4.1.2-9.8.1Q-66_1FF
With no avail.
So, Anyone who can help me, I would be forever grateful. Thanks.

I have wondered if my restore method would work on a locked BL phone. Scroll down to near the bottom and I comment on the possibility of getting custom recovery and then root? Impossible! But you are borked already..... My wife won't let me try it on her updated & locked M.

I did try that and that is how I obtained root. Didn't have a problem up until now.
Anyways, I managed to fix my issue on my own.
Long story short, RSD Lite was flashing the VZW_XT907_4.1.2-9.8.1Q-66_1FF I downloaded from droid-developers.
My phone kept rejecting the tz.mbn saying it was invalid.
Sooooo, I searched for a 98.18.78 OTA pull and I found one.
This is the one for reference.
I swapped the tz.mbn files between the two folders and it flashed it without a problem. Phone booted up as if I just unboxed it.
So, I won't delete this just as a reference for anyone who has the same problems as me.
Sorry for taking anyone's time.

Yes, I just went in my phone settings and did realize this is a previous OTA. I checked for updates and my phone wants me to update to 98.18.78.

Well, Pretty much, my phone had no rom at the time. I ruined it by trying to flash stuff.
So I downloaded the bottom rom from
sbf.droid-developers.org/scorpion_mini_xt907/list.php
and was trying to flash it onto my phone. My phone kept rejecting the tz.mbn file, it said it was invalid. So I found that old OTA and swapped the two files, and to my surprise, my phone accepted that file. I don't know why it wouldn't take the original one.
Anyways, I'm updating my phone to OTA 98.18.78 right now, so all is good.

I lost root after the OTA update. Inused SamuriHL Downgrade tool to roll back to the stae my phone was in before update. then it gives instructions on how to retore and keep root. then yuo tkae the update again.

THANK YOU
I thought I was doomed to a bricked phone. This fix saved me.
Important to note for any other poor suckers who find themselves in the same spot - make sure you have an updated version of RSD Lite when you do this. My first (15) attempt(s) failed flashing system.img because I was running an old version of RSD Lite, but when I updated to 6.1.4 it worked fine.

cheno1115, THANK YOU!
I had the same issue with my xt907 after rooting with "DROID_RAZR_M_Utility_1.20" and after restoring my apps (including with framework mods.. stupid, I know) from xt890 via nandroid manager.
I thought oh my god, that is an expensive brick I have now.
I have just reflashed "VZW_XT907_4.1.2-9.8.1Q-66_1FF.xml.zip" via RSD (with "tz.mbn" file raplaced from "Blur_Version.98.16.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US.zip") and it did boot up, however it booted with all my "restored" apps. The problem is that I have tried to restore my home screen via nandroid backup manager and it failed, so I got only upper status bar, soft buttons and black screen... I'm lucky that Motorola placed a settings shortcut on upper drawer, so I was able to navigate to settings and do a factory reset. So this is how I got a fresh start again.
However if I launch "DROID_RAZR_M_Utility_1.20" with option 1 again, I get the same thing - many repeating "sending system.img", have to terminate it and then - a brick. So I had to repeat RSD reflash procedure once more. BTW flashing of "system.img" takes surprisingly long, like 5 minutes or so.
So that got me thinking... Isn't this repeating "sending system" and "writing system" just doing it in pieces and one should wait?
Anyway that has solved my problem. THANKS!

Does this mean you fully rooted your XT907 that had the latest OTA updates? Can you install other ROM's?
As far as I know, once you get the latest OTA update you're screwed and can't do anything.
I have a locked xt907

Unbricking Progress - Stuck in ADB/ADB composite/Fastboot/QH-USB

I will update my unbricking process with every attempt
Attempt 1:
Tried to flash grossoshop fastboot rom 17s by manually erasing boot, system, userdata, cache and recovery. Phone doesn't wake up with any. Still responds to ADB and Fastboot commands with no errors
If browsed through adb, system partition only shows two directories lib and lib64
Attempt 2:
Trying to manually flash mbn files present in the official 20s rom of x720. QPST is not recognizing my phone. I have to somehow put the phone into 9008 mode rather than 9025 mode (which is diagnostic)
There are no QPST compatible files around for Le Pro 3. Guess I finally put my 240$ to the trashcan....
Attempt 3:
I tried to flash the mbn, elf and bin files to their corresponding partitions via fastboot, everything went okay with the flashing. Then I flashed the boot.img, stock recovery and splash..... Went okay.
Rebooted my phone into recovery and its still dead. I can only see ADB interface in device manager and device is recognized correctly in adb.
If I power off my phone by pressing both volume buttons + power and then just insert USB cable, I end up in QDLoader 9008 mode. There is still hope if LeEco ever releases service rom for Le Pro 3 just like it released earlier for Le1, Le2, Le Max 2 etc. Leeco.re has all the firmwares except Le Pro 3.
Flagship my ass, LeEco ripped us off with its amazing chinese U-turn yet again. There is no hope in unbricking the phone unless I get QFill factory service rom meant to be compatible with QPST flasher.
Attempt 4:
Finally found the unbrick service rom which is to be flashed with FlashOne program but turns out the file is incomplete.
Ref Thread: http://www.leeco.re/topic/1906-helpx720-bricked/#comment-33155
I charged my x720 last night (just 10 hrs ago), drove to office with battery last known at 87% just 30 minutes ago.
I took it out of my pocket, sent a couple of text msgs, put it on my office table. Now all of a sudden phone is black, no display, no sign of life except short two vibrations everytime I try to turn it on. I have no idea what has just happened. Still got 6 hrs to stay at office then to home where I might try to charge/put phone to PC and check....
I literally have no idea what just happened.
I'm on CM13 by Team Superluminal and never had any problems like this in the past....
I'll update what was the problem once I get home and thoroughly check my phone :/

leave power button and vol down pressed for some time........ it's not the normal waiting time....... just leave it pressed until you get into download mode......
it happened to me with a past custom rom.......... your boot-loader may be locked again......

Phone vibrates very momentarily after about 10 seconds of holding power button and then vibrates like that every 10 seconds if I keep power button pressed.
I connected it to my Computer and it shows up as QUSB_BULK in device manager. Looks like my device is bricked until LeEco releases QFIL files for Le Pro3. I already have installed Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 drivers.
I am leaving this phone on charger overnight and will check if Battery really was depleted this fast in-case phone lives up. Otherwise its a sad story until LeEco releases QFIL files.

Update # 2
I managed to connect my phone stable with Computer without any stupid black rebooting.
I'm able to see my device in ADB under recovery, and ADB under composite interface and even I can issue ADB Reboot Bootloader command to take it to fastboot.
If I just flash TWRP, it flashes successfully but stays black. Even if I boot recovery image, it reboots into composite interface instead.
Next stop: Grossoshop fastboot rom. Im downloading it right now from https://mega.nz/#!VEM1QIYL!HwT9hk7-GA6KZBTRMv0IQ9kleYaG-el63UF21S6P0us
I REALLY REALLY REALLY HOPE IT WORKS. Phone died on me while on nearly full battery so if it stayed on during whole day it still would have half the juice left to be flashed in fastboot. I don't know if the phone is recharging on adapter or not.

Update # 4:
Phone is still dead, only recognizeable through ADB, Fastboot, QDLoader 9008. Screen never comes alive, only the vibrator gives the sign of life if not for the device Manager.
I managed to flash the mbn, elf and bin files to corresponding parittions with no errors, then I flashed official boot.img, splash.img and stock recovery but upon reboot, phone is still dead.

Dang it man. I in the same boat. I can get to the fastboot and that is it. If i try to boot recovery it flashes the recovery screen and then goes back... im so dumb for even trying to unlock and flash a rom on this thing...

Same here - qdload 9008 mode and no qfil compatible rom pack from LeEco. Relying blindly on them releasing the files sometime in the future seems like a lost cause to me.

Your case was different. At least ur phone showed signs of life by momentarily showing u the recovery screen. My phone doesn't live up at all not even. LED notification light or screen. Just fastboot or ADB or QDLoader.....

Had a similar effect yet from different reason. I dropped my phone in salty water (I thought it would survive as it did in fresh water for a minute LoL) and it won't turn off but just in a boot loop to Recovery.
Then the screen died, won't turn on at all, phone vibrates once or twice every restart infinitely. The battery drained out and I put the phone in a bucket of rice for a day and voila it turned on again. I was able to relock the bootloader and sent it back for repair (with fingers crossed hoping they won't dismantle the phone and find water traces inside =D). They replaced it with new one and so I am happy camper again. =D

I just happened to buy the phone and get it shipped to wrong country where Leeco support doesn't exist neigther the country supports such repair correspondance. Customs here will charge me around 150$ when I will recieve my phone after repair, moreover my Leeco warranty isnt covered because I didnt buy from their official store (rather a chinese store through a friend and get it shipped to me). So Im left out in the dark waiting for the on-shelf recovery measures.

Man, sucks when we break it this much, huh? I just tried to remove the encryption (was asking for password) after having gotten encrypted from flashing TARS 21s on my 727. Now I can fastboot and see recovery but I can't push any files because adb says it's "unauthorized".... I can't authorise because I have no OS!!! No files either obviously, I just wiped the storage entirely to remove that encryption. Anybody have any ideas on this one? Going to have use a Walmart burner for a little while until I can get a usb-c OTG drive. That's the only thing I can think of since I CAN enter recovery/fastboot flash things

You can try "adb sideload" in twrp usually it bypasses "unauthorized" status and flashes away directly.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I was lucky in that my phone would still work in fastboot mode with my computer even though adb push would not so I couldn't push files to flash.
If you can get to twrp, or fastboot (volume DOWN + power, hold until it boots to fastboot screen) then you can open fastboot command window on PC, type fastboot devices and make sure it shows a device is attached and recognized. If so, flash twrp with command fastboot flash boot twrp.zip (or whatever you name it). Once in twrp, you can go to sideload option, have to toggle it on in twrp and it will say ready (waiting to accept zip over adb). Then have rom zip and gapps zip in adb/fastboot folder on pc.
Use command adb sideload rom.zip then same for gapps.zip. It will show progress on the phone if working.

Thank you! I was finally able to get sideload to work. I was using Darkobas recovery and that caused issues. Flashing normal TWRP worked. I was able to get back to stock via recovery so know I am trying to fix the prolem that started this mess... Google play store wont work on cellular..... most annoying problem in the world!

uhh no I did not see that in the tutorial.
I tried: ./fastboot flashing unlock_critical
and looks like it freezes after that command...

are you rooted?
have you tried downloading the file again?
and if you can still go to bootloader your phone is not bricked, just download stock boot from essential and flash it

Dang now its totally bricked after the flashing failure... cannot boot up. what should I do? send it back to Essential?

What do you mean by can't boot up? Do you see boot animation and have you tried to go back to fast boot or recovery?

Try different USB ports and cables. When 8.1 came out I had to swap my cable and change the port I was using on my desktop, for some reason the cable I had been using and the port I had been using since I got the phone was no longer adequate. There were a number of other people having the same issue. Some commands would look to complete properly, but following up with the same command (something un-damaging like fastboot --set-active=a | fastboot --set-active=b) would either error again or show that the 'completed' command hadn't actually done anything. I switched cables/ports around (ended up with an Antek USB-A to USB-C cable in a USB3.1 port) and everything worked properly.
If you're trying to flash a stock build image from Essential, you will probably need critical unlocked because those images do contain a bootloader that gets flashed, and that is secured behind critical.

Do not use the cable that came with the phone!!!!!

We are screwed mate, I am on the same boat with you. Essential took no responsibility and offered a 200$ replacement device. The phone doesn't power on anymore and no light indicators are working, so hard bricked.

I had a Asoip screw up(did not disable password) and was only able to get fastboot. Had to see what slot was active and flashed to that slot that was active boot.img,twrp,Asoip and was back up and running. My bootloader was unlocked. I read through all the posts and peoples screw ups and was able to get it up and running again in a day. I never posted as I wanted to learn it on my own. Good luck.........

What cable did you use while connecting to your computer?
And what is the status now? Are you able to turn it on at all by volume and power key combination?

same here. The phone doesn't power on anymore. btw I used the usb-c TDB cable came with my MacBook pro.
I sent email to essential and they say they can't help me since I tried to flash custom rom...

and pressing the volume down key + power key at the same time doesn't work?.. what happens when you plug your phone into the charger? does it vibrate?

ive had fastboot command problems previously myself with this device and found that the usb port can play a pretty large factor. Swapping usb ports and reattempting to run the commands (as others recommended may be useful) make sure you are using latest version of adb/fastboot and have up to date drivers installed for the phone.
Look at the rooting tutorial there is information in there about swapping active slots (the essential has both a and b paritions) if you set the other slot as the active slot you may be able to regain some communication within fastboot (i would suggest you verify with fastboot devices prior to attempting to flash to partitions).
Additionally you should be able to still recover back to stock without custom recovery using the default recovery partition. I would think that if you are able to access the bootloader you should be able to access the default essential recovery partition. If you can access the standard recovery you should be able to factory reset the phone and sideload a new rom (id suggest the default factory image from essential until you can get back to square one)

I'm in the same boat. Tried to flash twrp after upgrading to 8.1 and got the same Error flashing partition, and now I'm stuck on the bootloader.
I've found that if I lock/unlock and lock/unlock critical it will let me flash the stock 8.1 boot and every other partition except for system and vendor, but gives a flash write error for those. I'm still unable to get past the bootloader.
Essential basically said I'm SOL. $200 out of warranty replacement assuming I live in the US, which I don't.

Mine was doing this too, but it was only a few days old so I returned it. I'm pretty sure it's defective flash memory.

My phone was doing this exact thing. Botched factory installs rendered my phone hardbricked.
Tried a thousand+ things to get it to turn on to no avail. LUCKILY I bought it second hand and have no warranty D:
I want to cry
