After several unsuccessful attempts to mount 3.1 on my Xoom, something seems to have caused the display to reverse. That is, the display is a mirror image of what it should be! This starts with the boot-up image of the Motorola Icon and carries all the way through till it's up. Several restarts have failed to resolve it, and it has me in a bit of a panic.
Have I just bricked my Xoom? Has this happened to others? Ideas? Suggestions? There's nothing on it that I have to save, so I could re-flash it, but I am not sure if/how to do this.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions/fixes!

Its not bricked if it boots...
That is strange though. May have to reflash stock images.
Try bringing everything back to stock?
Thanks, I would be happy to do that, but it's kind of hard to do it with everything backwards!
I had to hold my cell phone up to the screen to (barely) read the mirror image text in the System Recovery. But, when I selected (what I thought was) the 'Restore Defaults' option in the blue recovery area, I got another screen with a list of selections that I also couldn't read! Rather than choose the wrong thing, I opted to reboot, but no luck, alas.

No push the images using adb
I figured it could be done. Could you please point me to a thread explaining how to push images using adb?

That's great, thanks for the info. I'll have to do this later today when I am at a PC (now at a Mac).
Any ideas about why this would happen in the first place? I've looked through the forums but haven't seen any other threads about this issue. It may be fixable with a reflash, but it sure was 'easy' to 'break' today without even knowing why...:^(

I have the 3G model. Looking at the instructions in that post, I have to admit I am not sure about a few (like most!) of the steps. It may become more apparent when I am doing it, but right now I am not clear as to where these steps take place.
[edit] Ok, I have just done some more reading and it appears I have quite a bit of work ahead of me, and that's just to get back to square one. Dang this was too easy to mess up!
I am confused now, I figured you would have adb installed since you already tried upgrading to 3.1 a few times.
All you need to do is flash the stock system, recovery, and boot image files.

Sorry for the confusion, but I haven't been using adb. I was trying to install the update manually with a usb data stick and the microsd cord that came with my Xoom. That's how I got myself into this pickle...way too easy it was!
Sent it back
Thanks to all who helped here. I ended up taking it back to Verizon and asking for a replacement. This they did, and even shipped it overnight at no charge (though I had to ask them to do that--they were going to charge me). The fellow at the counter was as perplexed as me. Apparently this is not a common problem.
So, as this is my first ever thread to this website and the reason why i have created this account, I am somewhat new to the XDA forums...
Nevertheless, i will state my problem here:
Right now, my phone and my limited knowledge about it have come to an dead end. with the help of online tutorials and so on, (I have downloaded almost 40 gigabytes worth of space to do stuff to my phone), i was able to only get the fastboot mode to work again.
It started with me uninstalling a system app from google (I don't know which one exactly, but i had the resurrection remix 5.69 or something like it, and in that ones system app remover it was one of the lowest google apps). I don't know if this is important, but at the time i did that i was in plane mode.
After some time i ran into some loading issues with games and restarted my phone. the first time i got in, i booted up normally and could do my pattern normally, but then there was only a black screen and i could pull that info bar thing down. as soon as i wanted to open the settings, everything froze and i decided to restart the phone. Once it was shut down i then got greeted by a bootloop which i aborted by shutting down after about 3 minutes. then nothing was working anymore, so i wanted to see if the fastboot mode was still available. it was, but after shutting down from that and trying again ( just to be sure) even that was gone.
so i went online and downloaded basically everything you can find online to recover a harbricked op2.
turns out, after i got my fastboot working again, the OEM and the device were locked (still not sure if those are different things or the same) and because i couldnt get in the android system, i could not enable it.
the ADB commands do not work at all because there is no device detected for it, though it is detected for fastboot. the command fastboot OEM unlock does not work because OEM unlocking is disabled...
so far i have been able to connect my phone in 3 modes and names for those, them being:
Android Bootloader interface (Fastboot)
Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E (Connected while holding VolUp)
RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (Connected while holding VolUp + VolDown)
I am also unable to flash anything on the phone because the OEM is locked
I will not be able to answer for some time (probably 2-3 weeks) but i wanted to start this thread so I could already have an answer when i come back home again (traveling with fam, and its somewhat hard to take a PC tower with you on trips)
Thanks for helping me! :fingers-crossed:
I'm having the exact same issue as OP.
I'm not sure exactly what I did, but I can only boot to fastboot. Typing fastboot continue does not work, I can't flash ANYTHING or use any of the recovery tools, because my device is locked, and there's no system to boot to so I can run fastboot oem unlock (have to turn on debugging, which I can't do). I have read just about every guide there is, and also downloaded a boatload of purported "fix" tools/drivers/packages. My phone remains able to boot only into fastboot, and I can't get anything working.
Installing the device drivers did work for me, so I'm about half a step ahead of some other people with this issue, but none of the tools or scripts I've found, or manual methods, have brought my OP2 back to life.
I'm really, really hoping someone here is able to help with this.

Oh, it is that one. I had already tried this one, in all listed modes posted above. The problem with that one is that everytime I hit the start button, the green progress bar does not show up and it does not a single thing... because I am staying at a place with a internet café for 3 days, I can download some stuff and try it again.
EDIT: I don't know if that was the reason It didn't work, but I may or may not have forgotten to install the driver because it was deleted off the onedrive page and I just forgot about it afterwards. if I can find a replacement for it, I will ink it here for future users with the same problem. otherwise, I would be GLaD if someone would do that for me...

Hello,
after a failed attempt at rooting my Ticwatch I am now stuck in a bootloop. Is there any way to get into recovery or the bootloader without using adb?
(I tried pushing the button after the vibration, holding it down for ~30 secs. and swiping basically in any direction possible) I cant use adb or fastboot because my computer wont detect the device and im only getting to the Ticwatch logo in the boot sequence. Can I have any hope for fixing this or do I have permanently bricked this thing?
Any help is appreciated!

I didn't attempt rooting yet, I only unlocked the bootloader.
I noticed that while booting, I was able to execute adb commands (using the charging cable for connection), including rebooting commands.
Aren't you able of doing that?
What recovery did you use, by the way?
EDIT: ew, I just noticed you mentioned your PC not detecting the smartwatch. Maybe try changing PC, since it's strange actually.

Is this still relevant? Or did you manage to revive it already? Because I may be able to help here but you'll have to give me a few hours to get some dumps off of the watch which you can flash back via the MediaTek Flash Tool.

No, its not relevant anymore. After not getting any answers for half a month I tried my luck with the Mobvoi support. They somehow approved my warranty request and I sent the watch back to them. Now I´m waiting for my replacement. But thanks for your help anyways, if I ever try it again and also mess up again I will contact you

Oh boy you'll have a fun time waiting then... Mobvoi support is one of the ****tiest so far sadly, according to stories on Facebook people sent in their watches for repair a few months ago and haven't heard anything back yet.
But yeah, flashing back the partitions via the flash tool would've been tricky too anyways since we don't have the things Mobvoi used when making the watch

Funny Story: First I requested a repair wich was declined. I sent them a video of the bootloop and they still asked for more information and seemed to have no idea what a bootloop is. Then I sent them a warranty request with exactly the information provided in the other request and it got approved instantly. :laugh:

Not sure on these questions. I believe it is stock. I bought it from an acquaintance that said he was just upgrading. He showed me it working. I got it a week later and its doing this. Trying to see if its fixable before addressing him. I believe it was stock and with oreo. I just know he was saying its the new android 1 and for 2 years of updates.

Hi, you'll need to unlock the Bootloader first, which is not possible ( i think ) as Nokia does not allow this as yet, for most devices. On my 6.1 OEM unlocking is greyed out and Nokia just said stay tuned when I asked to get an unlock key. Can you get into Fastboot mode - hold Vol down and power ( while you have a usb connected to power / pc )??
https://www.hardreset.info/devices/nokia/nokia-61-plus/fastboot-mode/
It might be worth trying a factory reset FIRST, which could work.. follow this - https://www.hardreset.info/devices/nokia/nokia-61-plus/recovery-mode/

I tried all of this in the youtube video I posted. is like it doesnt have a boot loader information on it. It seems as thought there is zero software in there excpept for the android one screen and the amount of battery life when its off. When not plugged in I get absolutely zero response from the phone, even though its 100% charged. Is there a way I can put something on a memory card and try to access it from there into boot mode, or maybe use some software to access the phones internals to install through a computer usb?

Sorry I missed that, I thought you had to be doing something wrong. I've never been in this sort position & I've been flashing phones for years,anyway, I'm a bit lost as to what to do next. Without a care centre to help, i can not find any other way to get that phone to boot. As every method I know and have read about, requires an unlocked bootloader and or getting into download mode or the recovery. The Nokia online service tool (ost), requires an unlocked bootloader to flash firmware. Also if the PC does not recognise the phone is another issue.
I will keep looking into how to correct this issue & if I find anything, I'll let you know.
This maybe worth reading, as it may hold a solution

I have been reading, others are reporting, getting into recovery mode can be difficult.
When phone is on connect with USB cable to PC. Turn phone off, immediately press volume up button after this. Wait for the little Android to appear. Press power + volume down to access the recovery menu. -> this might take a few tries cause you have to be really precise, but this was the same on my Nexus 5X.
When you have time and patience, could you try to get into recovery again.

I got the ost installed but I either dont have proper firmware or the phone is that bricked that it will not accept any boot. The image shows the result I get.
Does anyone have any or know of any functional firmware for this phone?
Hi,
This is my first time trying to root a tablet but managed to unlock the bootloader and install magisk + Edxposed, but was unable to find a module that enabled exfat for the sd card.
Currently it only reads Fat32 formatted cards but I would like to load a 10gb file on there that the device can read.
Any ideas how to go about this? will flashing a custom kernel/ rom help me with this?
All help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I believe you'd need something like vold-posix, along with a version of magisk modified to inject it
But vold-posix is for Android 8.1, although I believe there is a modified 9 build for Pixels.
I'm not even sure if anyone has gotten any custom roms working on any of these yet, but if they have, might be your only option.
Thanks!
As of now I think I bricked it....
I messed around and accidentally erased the system partition, tried to fix it by flashing the image posted here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/wa...eral/stock-stock-backups-images-otas-t3998227) and now the screen won't turn on, no recovery mode, no adb..... the device is still detected through the SP flash tools though.
I think the image I used wasn't complete - can anyone upload a complete working image (including a scatter file) I don't care if it's stock or custom, just need something working on the device.
Thanks all!

Is it still detected by the computer? That's really all you need to flash the ROM. I would be careful not to overwrite or format the unit-specific data on the emmc, like nvram, proinfo, persist, etc. I hope those did not get corrupted on your device.

Is your computer still detecting it? What specific errors is SFFT giving you? Did you follow the guide HERE?
Appreciate all the help here! I did follow that guide but I believe I messed up when I deleted the internal storage so the flashing did not work...
Either way I have another one to play with as these were super cheap on black friday - does anyone have any ideas for my original question?
I don't mind flashing a custom rom if anyone knows of one that works with this device.
@rachelld, I don't understand what you mean by "deleted the internal storage" (I don't think you can delete the emmc chip ), but these tablets are basically unbrickable as long as you have a backup or at least the device-specific areas remain in the ROM. There is also no secure boot to speak of.
@diplomatic Have no idea what I did but at one point I did hit a Chinese screen and clicked clear Emmc now that you mention it... (At least that's what Google translate told me it meant....)
I am left with a device that won't turn on at all, sp flash tools claims that it flashed successfully but still no response from the power button
@rachelld, what about connecting it to the wall charger?

Nothing doing, no sign of life. Tested the charger with another device to make sure it's working

Well no, if you did erase the emmc, then the stock Rom backups shared will not have enough data for you to fully restore from.
And it is not know what partitions can be shared between devices. For example. Secro has device specific data on it. Nvram , also.
So if you have multiple devices. Follow the wwr readback process and fully read back all the partitions from one that works. And flash it back to the bricked one.

That's the factory mode, the clear eMMC option should just be another factory reset option.
