This message was deleted by its author

if you look at the picture, it is actually unlocked. there is a picture of an open lock there. anyways... go into recovery, wipe data(factory reset) the phone, then reupdate the rom.

I find this a tad bit amusing.

youre in fastboot and it shows that you already unlocked the bootloader. just flash amon ra recovery v1.5.3 then whichever rom you want. be aware that you might also have to flash the google apps add-on with some roms.
there is a thread here on xda for beginers. i suggest you start posting there. this is a developement section. this thread will also probably be closed shortly.

Pretty sure you just need to run the .bat file from Windows and it automatically unlocks the bootloader and roots the phone. Correct me if I'm wrong on the last part of my sentence, but I know you can't flash a bat file on your phone.

lmao... thats because some of us did research and studied everything that was needed before doing it, so if there was an issue it was serious

LOL i never rooted an android, my nexus is my first android. im not thinking rooting. but i glanced at the tutorials before and even I know that screen shot means you have a unlocked bootloader

if u have SDK and drivers setup you dont have to be rooted to do screenshots in DDMS

1 Click root brick?!

So i read thru a lot of the root threads & none of them made anh sense to me.I downloaded ADB,moto drivers, sdk,jdk,etc.But still none of it made any sense. So i tried the 1 click root & soft bricked my xoom. It gets stuck at the Motorola screen. I tried getting into the options & wiping user data,factory reset.But it would still get stuck at the dual core screen. So i tried a suggestion of using 1 click root to undo the root. But it said the xoom would say "done" twice on the screen but it only said "done" once. So then i relocked it hoping it would reboot & work but it didn't. I see 1 guy was able to fix his using a rooting guide.I hope someone here can help me out.

Motorola published the factory files for Xoom awhile back so if you still have fastboot, you can recover from it.
http://developer.motorola.com/produ...utm_source=supportforums&utm_term=unlockboard

I relocked it using the 1 click root and all it says now is "Failed to boot LNX 0x0004" "Starting RSD mode 2".I'm now trying to use the 1 click root to try to get it back to where it was..I just don't understand all of the rooting methods even after downloading adb,sdk,,etc..It may as well be written in Chinese.I'm sure if i saw someone actually do it i could catch on to it but right now rooting is confusing..hence i went with the 1 click.I had no problem 1 click rooting my droid x with a 1 click root.

Stop using one click crap. If you don't know what you're then you should not be messing with your device.

And this is rude and uncalled for

The OP stated he read quides etc and none of it made sense to him etc. So instead of asking for help a explanation he tries a one click method. Which is stupid. He than softbricks the device and asked for help here.
Then he is told that moto released the factory images and use fastboot if he still has it to recover the device. He then decides to ignore that entirely and go back and try to unroot/restore with the one click BS again. Then he tries to use it again to go back to where he was. Just flat out stupid. He did something when he had no idea wtf he was doing. Was told what to do. Did not do it. He even said it is like Chinese to him.
So I told him to stop messing with one click crap. Which is correct. I told him to stop messing with the ****ing thing. Which is also correct. He needs to learn/understand wtf he is doing. Instead of basically button mashing/trying crap and hoping it will basically fix itself.
On top of that this posted in the wrong section. Uncalled for my ass. He is the one that was rude when told to not mess with the one click or the device. Now this part is rude. **** his stupid ass.

How do i get to that ..and where do i type it at ..i looked in device manager & does recognize the xoom..it says "Motorola USB Device:Motorola Flash Interface"..In properties under "Driver" it has options for driver details..update driver..disable & uninstall.Can i do anything with them?
I tried opening SDK manager but it never lets me type anything in the box as it's always trying to do some kind of update in another window so when i close the window it closes all of the windows.

If they didnt make sense to you in the first place you probably shoud not be attempting to root... U went straight to an old method that even the developer has marked in hs thread can full brick you and should not be used. The xoom costs like 600 bucks... Why wouldnt you do extensive research on how to root? If you did not understand the terms why didn't you research the methods and learn it?
I hope you can flash the factory imagines back through fastboot and adb, but i just do not understand why people attempt this stuff when they have no idea what the terms even mean...
You need to have sdk, hook up to usb on your computer, and follow one of the unlock guides posted on this site... A real one using adb... Then you need to follow a root one...
Sorry that is not more helpful, but half of this experience is that you need to learn what you are doing and the instructions are out there. If they do not make sense at this point im afraid you are stuck. Now the way your device is you have to figure it out...

Please check out this thread.It is called Root heaven for a reason. Just about every viable rooting guide, all the files and explanations you will need are here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209341
I urge you to just calm down, read about what is the sdk, what is adb, how to recover from a soft brick and so on. The xda xoom forum is all about learning and teaching. We were all noobies once. The Xoom is a very complex device with many models and vesions and one clicks just don't cut it. There are rooting methods that are relatively simple but you really need to be prepared before you get started.
Good luck and don't despair. You'll get there.

Thanks for the help guys.I'm reading through all of the threads and i see a typo in a post that in the command window would've never let me find the sdk tools on my c drive. But after i retyped it i did it & a bunch of writing came up. Trying to figure out now how to flash the stock images to the xoom.

at first, make sure you install android sdk correctly. then go to android sdk-folder in your computer, u will find a folder named platform-tool. Press shift+ right click on it, then choose open command window here. After that, type in "adb devices" or "fastboot devives" to check if your xoom is connected. If yes,you good to go. If no, check your android sdk installed process

After i type in abd devices it says list of devices attached but shows nothing..i did copy the sdk tools folder to the c drive like i was told.

@OP
If you can't do it yourself, getting somebody to help you (in person) is always an option. If you live in a major city, advertise on Craigslist or some equivalent. Offer $50 for debricking + some tutorial.

In order for the device to show up in adb the device needs to actually booted into the os and have USB debugging enabled. Which you can't do.
What you're supposed to do is use fastboot.
Boot the device into fastboot mode.
Use fastboot devices to see if the computer see's it/everything is set up etc.
If bootloader is locked unlock it with fastboot OEM unlock.
Then flash the official images for your exact device. Fastboot flash boot boot.img and so on.
The last command on restoring to stock guides is optional. Fastboot OEM lock. I would not do it. No reason to relock it. If do learn decide to root later you would have to unlock again and loose all data.

That's good advice...no reason to re-lock. But get back to square one so that you're functional and then when you're ready to try again, do it the right way.
Again, good luck!

Bootloader

Can someone help me get into bootloader? I was able to get into it perfectly fine up until the point where I followed efrant steps to do a factory reset and I flashed TWRP 2.6.1.0 now, I can't even get into the bootloader holding the down volume key and power key

can u get into recovery?if not does the phone even turns on?if u can get into recovery just do "adb reboot bootloader"(this work also while android is running/booting).

TWRP Stuck

I cant seem to get out of TWRP. I use adb and i used "adb boot recovery" and i cant seem to get out. The issue i think i have is that the adb keeps pushing the command to the phone. Now before you say "Just unplug the phone and reboot it"... I did that. Now it seems that the code is stuck with the phone . Iv tried to put it into TWRP my self without adw and tryed to reboot it but that didnt work. No other tread helped me. If you could tell me how to how to fix this or link me to a thread somewhere else. Its a Verizon phone.
Thanks -

if it helps: I was trying to root :good:

I got the phone to RAM dump boot i have no idea how i got it there. But its something else. THE PHONE IS NOT BRICKED.

So you're stuck in recovery??? If so, just flash one of the Verizon based roms that should get you going.

This happened to me. I just had to use the hardware buttons to boot into recovery then reboot from there and that got me out of the loop. Not sure why that happens.

Rooting The T-Mobile V20

Trying to get my V20 rooted I figured since it's been awhile I'd try and ask hopping not to get my head ripped off about rooting this beast. I would greatly appreciate some help. Tried in the past failed miserably.

Sorry should have added this is during the boot up stage..here is a copy & paste I keep handy:
While the device is powered off, press and hold Vol - and Power button. When you see the LG logo quickly release only the power button and re-press and hold the power button (Never let go of the Vol - button) This will boot you into the LG Factory reset screen. ONLY USE THIS METHOD IF YOU HAVE TWRP INSTALLED!!!!! OTHERWISE YOU WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE!!!!! Choose yes to both options and you will be rebooted into TWRP. TWRP intercepts this command and ignores the factory reset part.

When you state follow this guide ( i have to say the LG dev community is kinda of rude and does not even explain anything to new comers from other devices...) Do you mean i need to follow every step or some steps this is why i say the LG Dev community is all over the place nothing is set in stone there is not one way to do like most Samsung users are used to. I would hope that you could elaborate a little more if you are offering to help.
I am not trying to be a jerk i'm just use to nicer dev community. I have done dev work... I have not had any other device besides Samsung for the longest time and i and will be switching back once the S8 or note 8 comes out.
To get me but i would like to root this device and i would like more then a point here to do it because you don't have some time to explain what needs to be done....
Again i am not trying to be rude just trying to learn the process on the LG dev side... Do not want to brick my device if i can prevent it.
