[Q] Unable to ADB Remount XOOM...!!

Hi..!! Everyone I tried everything, I was going to unlock and root my xoom but I got stuck at this step:
7. fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
I get this error: "can't load rootboot.img"
I run fastboot reboot command and works, after reboots I try adb devices and my xoom shows but if I run adb remount I get this error:
"remount failed: Operation no permitted"
I tried everything search everywhere, update everything and NADA, I'm on a Windows 7 64bit.
Thanks and I hope somebody can direct me to the right path..

You will want to grant root access again using the adb commands. This happened to me once. You don't have permission to do this because it needs to have root access to carry on this operation. Try the root commands again to grant root access and then see what it does when trying to flash the rootboot files.
If that's not it come let us know. XDA will have your answer for sure.

I get stuck on step 7 of this guide below, so I think I never get to the point of getting root, but if I'm doing something wrong and I have to run some other commands please let me know.
1. Download the Motorola Xoom Root Zip file and unzip it. Download
2. Place the files in the SDK Tools folder.
3. adb reboot bootloader (You can skip the next 3 steps if you’ve unlocked with fastboot previously)
5. fastboot oem unlock (wait for reboot)
6. adb reboot bootloader
7. fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
7. fastboot reboot (wait for reboot)
8. adb remount
9. adb shell push su /system/bin
10. adb shell ln –s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
11. adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
12. adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
And thanks for making some time to reply, I try to get some help on other threads with no response.

dumb question: is rootboot.img in the same directory as everything else?
It sounds to me like your flashboot can't find it.

That's a good point from the poster above. I had trouble at the start with this and the SDK tools folder because I never messed with the adb shell too often because there never really has been a need for me to do so up until I got the Xoom.
OP... like this reply says above me, I am agreeing to as well. It looks like it might not be finding your rootboot. Make sure all root files are located in the very root of the SDK tools folder, and make sure all root files are not inside a folder. If they are please drag them into the tools folder and slap them all in there. It looks like a mess but it works. Do the same type of thing if you plan on flashing an overclock kernel. Always make sure that all files are NOT in folders when flashing something like this, and that they are always placed in the very root of the tools folder located within the SDK folder. Hope this helps.
About my above post... woops. I wasn't paying attention totally. It was late. I was thinking about when you are trying to install an overclock kernel and run into this problem that says that you cannot remount in adb. It does have to do with root access though.

Thank you very much guys I found what was my problem, I was running ADB straight from CMD window without navigating to my tool folder and always worked so I thought running step 7 will work, but NO I had to cd c:.....bla bla navigate to tool folder and do step 7.
Now I'm happily Rooted thanks again for your time guys, now to set up again my beautiful screens.

I'm having that problem where i'm trying to flash Tiamat Kernel on my Xoom and when i get to the remount i'm getting - remount failed: Operation not permitted . When you say grant root access again you talking about pointing it to the platform folder ?.

It sounds like those having problems are not very familiar with adb. Don't worry, we have all been there at one point. I would suggest that you use the one click method. No its not really a one click, more like a one click at a time method. But, it goes slow and you can see what it is doing as it goes along and has a nice tutorial from the op.

No i'm not so good at it but i'm willing to or i want to learn . I used it for the first time when my Xoom was soft brick from installing a theme , i restored it with ADB and then use ADB to root ,so that's twice , the first time i rooted my Xoom i used the one click method because i was so afraid of ADB . Today the third time i was using it to flash a Kernel and at the remount i got into the problem above .

Yes i'm trying to flash a kernel but at the remount step it's telling that : remount failed : operation is not permitted .

Soft brick? No OS installed! Please help!

So I have now no OS installed @ nexus 4... I ve read that with adb it should work. When I now write adb push and then the Rom.zip the command line shows me a lot of Text but doesnt do anything. When i write adb push Rom zip /sdcard/download it starts to move the zip but there isnt a folder at all. And should i activate adb sideload @ nexus? Because When i Start it loads very long but nothing happens.
I have twrp recovery so what should i Do now? Because this is my First only internal sd Card Phone and i cant connect the N4 to the PC Because no OS i only need to Know how to boot any firmware or does something like odin for nexus?

Try "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/"

thanks man! worked perfectly

Any way to sideload

I recently rooted my phone. I have not installed any ROMs because i love the stock rom so much but i decided to try one today. I didnt have my computer with me so i downloaded one today and rebooted into recovery. I saved my current rom and then wiped and accidently pressed Data, it asks if i want to wipe everything and i press back. I go to look at my downloads and they are all gone. I look for my backup i had JUST nandroid backed up and it was gone.
So there i am stuck. There is a thread for returning to Stock rom. Sure ok, but its a long process including the 2 gig download which is only uploading at 260mbit/s so another hour or 2.
I have tried sideloading a rom but it fails.
Any suggestions on how to get a rom onto the phone without booting it? I dont have a micro usb to sd card or i would have done that already =/

You need adb on the pc, connect, then in terminal or cmd
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard
Copying the zip to the folder with adb makes it easier and the above command correct, (of course replace ROM.zip with the actual name).

via sideload or no?

No. Sideload could work, I don't remember the command off hand.
Adb push copies it to the internal memory then you flash through the menu normal.

I gave you thanks.
That seems to work. For anyone that gets into this situation where there are no roms in your phone and you have no way to transfer them. Boot into TWRP, do not use sideload. Just main screen. Device manager will show to be just "g2" and you need the driver. In the driver folder from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869 driver section, update driver and browse to 64BitADB and choose androidandadb. It will then give you a list of options starting with Testing drivers, one that dates back to 2010 and another thats 2012. You want the one thats 2nd from the bottom called LG G2 verizon net adb or something like that. Works perfect and connects to adb.
If anyone truely needs this process i can break it down to specifics on how to get it to work. Thanks so much for your help fr4nk1yn!

LG G2 Brick any thing to do?

I tried to change from the rom CW11 to Pardous and the phone stuck at the LG symbol and don't coming up. Everything deleted and even the custom roms, Debugging desable, the root deleted and just TWRP stayed, the backups deleted and the roms installers too.
I tried the adb but when I am doing "adb sideload" it's doing "Error:closed" and when I amd doing "adb push" its telling "can't read".
So my question is if there is any way to fix it? if yes how? (If I can get guide please).
I tried and thing in the internet so if you can help me in anyway I will be glad.
Thanks.

If Someone can help I am lost. The phone not working for 3 days.

unlock bootloder,TWRP,super su, and I hane accidentally format it through TWRP now its not getting on just stuck on circle . in internal there is no data to flash and also not detecting adb or fastboot mode .

You'll need to get adb or fastboot working. Google 15 second adb drivers xda. Then adb push a rom on to your device while in recovery or side load a rom

Wipe your whole system via TWRP and restart into recovery. Connect your phone with your computer and check if your phone is recognized. Also check if you have install all necessary drivers.

Rename the rom zip you're trying to flash to just rom.zip and put it on the root directory of your pc. Then open a command window in the folder your adb.exe is and run the command
adb push c:\rom.zip /sdcard/download
That'll put the rom on your device and you can then flash it in recovery

first use the command
adb devices
Does your device show up or do you get the same as you did before?
If it works use
adb push c:\rom.zip /sdcard/Download/rom.zip

If adb devices doesn't show a device then you don't have the usb drivers setup. Did you try the 15 second adb install I posted in one of my first posts? Just Google it

Try a different usb port and cable. It will take a long time to push the rom, 5 to 10 minutes. It sounds like your usb connection is not good

This comes up if you try to execute a command adb doesn't know. Are you typing it in correctly?
Edit, I see the problem. You need a space after adb push c:\rom.zip. it should be adb push c:\rom.zip /sdcard....

What error does it give? Everything must be typed correctly and the rom.zip must be on the root directory of your pc.
