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.

anyone know how to get the SFU file out from a working Xoom so it can be used be RSD Lite for restoring?
So, where do I start?
I bought this device (Nexus 2013 Wi-Fi) in late november and have not updated it since. I attempted to update it today (because I received a notification to do so) to 4.4.2 (I think).
It restarted after the update and I've been stuck in a bootloop at the "4 circles".
I have done the following:
- put the device into the boatloader
- installed the nexus root toolkit and attempted to flash stock + unroot the device to the images: 4.3 (JSS15Q), 4.3 (JSS15R), and (KOT49H)
- this was what my output looked like

- And no, I have not tried the force flash.
- I have tried all the drive options and maybe I'm not following the directions properly but that does not seem to work (and it may be the main problem for all I know).
- I'm also not sure if I thoroughly removed all google nexus-related drivers prior to running the nexus root toolkit, so there may be that.
- I've tried some brute-force methods inspired by things I've seen here, as in:
un-packing the factory image files into the platform tools part of the android sdk files and run the following commands in the cmd.exe: fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img - My guess is that the problem lies with the fact that I cannot put the device in debugging mode and I cannot have it recognized by adb.
I'm not sure where to go from here and I'm rather frustrated. Please let me know what solutions I should re-try (but perhaps more carefully?) and new ones that I should know of.

Anyhow, I upgraded to 5.0.0 via the Toolkit, well attempted to since I guess it's a bad idea if you're on an encrypted FS since it reported corruption and then wipe/reset. So I attempted to do a restore and the Toolkit keeps telling me I'm set to "Any Build" despite being set to 5.0. I tell it the correct one, go through the process again and yet it still Restore mode says it's "Any Build". I don't know if this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong since if I set it to 4.4.4 it works fine.

Root Nexus 10 v1.9.4 on Lollipop.
Running Root+custom recovery script. Live log is on, and everything seems to go as it should. When final boot is done SU notifies that binaries need updating, which I accept. Then Device boots into recovery and when it returns to system SU informs that there's no binary installed..!?
Prior to this I rooted my Nexus 5 on Lollipop without issues...

Installing 5.0 through NRT limited my storage to 13.0 GB
I have a 32 GB Nexus 10 and the storage shows up as 13 GB after installing Android 5.0 through the Nexus Root Toolkit. Can someone help me with fixing that?
After you've rooted using the tool kit, message appears that describes your problem pretty well - the solution suggested by wugfresh is to perform a factory reset, IIRC - have you tried this already?

Mine did the same thing. Factory reset fixed it
13 GB instead of 64 ?

Hashcheck Mismatch
I'm trying to flash the stock firmware to my wife's Nexus 4 so she can receive the 5.0 OTA and install it correctly. The problem I'm encountering with the "flash stock+unroot" button is that the image files always fail the hash check, as do the twrp downloads and the superSU downloads and pretty much any file that this program tries to hash will fail.
I've downloaded the hashcheck shell extension and manually verified every file I've tried to load, they ALL have correct md5sum values when compared to the md5s on the google developer page or the download page at the android filehost website. Is there any way to get around the broken hash checking? My wife is very impatiently awaiting here lollipop upgrade.
Thanks,

Trouble flashing my Nexus 10
Hey guys. I am having trouble with flashing my Nexus 10 tablet back to KitKat (due to frustrating wifi issues) after upgrading to Lollipop using the "official" method.
I had read an article on pcadvisor.co.uk about how to downgrade using Minimal ADB and Fastboot, so I started there. Everything was going well up until the point where I was to install the KitKat image.

Nexus 9 disable force encryption not working woth Nexus Root Toolkit v1.9.9
Hi everyone,
I wanted to disable the forced encryption in my Nexus 9 using the Nexus Root Tolkit v1.9.9. I succesfully installed all the drivers and apparently was able to unlock + root my device. However, when I try to disable the forced encryption the tool somehow isn't successful in flashing the new flashboot, and when the device reboots it is still encrypted.
Did anyone come accross this issue?
Thanks very much for your help!!
Nexus 10 stuck at fastboot
In my attempt to flash the new 5.0.2 update to my Nexus 10 it seems to have correctly wiped the device, but then couldn't finish pushing the new update onto it. As of right now, the device will sit at the screen shown below, and boot to the screen shown below no matter if I move to "Recovery Mode" etc. What do you believe I should do to correctly finish flashing the new update?

Edit: It seems my problem is similar in nature to that of mdhankins 2 posts above.
stuck at "flashing custom recovery to recovery partition"
title says it all, I've got a N7 2013 Flo, android 4.4.2 KOT49H
I used this toolkit with NO problems whatsoever with my grouper, so I'm not sure what to do here, should I force close the tooklit, reboot tablet and start over or will I brick the device?

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.

What cable are you using?
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
