You are braver than I, your problem ids one that CAN be fixed..... but not at the moment that I know of.

What happened is, your device tried to OEM Lock but did not have all of the files. So it did in fact flash you back but is missing 2 other core files that were not pulled.

The only way that I know there is to fix this is to actually flash the SBF file through RSD Lite....... there is one problem though. Motorola has not released this yet.

Honestly, your best bet is to take it back and get a new one because who knows when Moto will get off their thumbs and push some simple files online for everyone to use. :-/

Good luck :-)
[Xoom General] ke5hde:
RSD would be nice but the xoom doesn't even show up there, not really sure if I CAN sbf back since the computer doesn't even know the xoom is connected.

[Xoom General] stevenege:
Well I ran into the same problem with the 3G version and SBF recognized it but nothing else would. Like I said, best bet would be to just take it back and say it is defective and hope they trade it out.... or wait for the complete dump to come out.
[Xoom General] ericdabbs:
Someone did provide the system dump for the wifi version. Not sure if this will help though.

[Xoom General] stevenege:
No, sorry I meant something else.

I meant Moto needs to release the SBF and the Stock everything so developement can actually get kind of started. The ability to root and un-root is great..... when we can un-root. :-P
[Xoom General] jpfx:
The system.img supplied by OP corrected my wifi xoom that I'd bjorked by installing the 3G unlock/root on.

In the interim I'd installed the wifi modules. It ran fine but because it considered itself a 3G it wanted to download and install HR166 update which was getting annoying.

I don't think that these imgs will get you back to OEM/locked but that should be available soon enough from MOTO.

would you be able to flash 3g abf to xoom and then just reflash everything back to stock once you get it out of the "lock"?
[Xoom General] stevenege:
I honestly have no clue, pretty risky thing to do..... however if you have the same problem he had you might as well try it cause your stuck anyways.

*****I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR BRICKED DEVICES, YOU DO THIS OF YOUR OWN ACCORD. I STRONGLY ADVISE JUST RETURNING OR WAITING BUT WHAT YOU DO IS UP TO YOU IN THE LONG RUN******

It could just be hung, thats why I said you might as well try if you want to.... but that is up to you if it fails.

[Xoom General] qubz:
Let me get this straight.

I'm unlocked and rooted running the Tiamat kernel.

Is all I have to do to revert to stock kernel is run fastboot flash boot boot.img in the OP?

And do I have to push some other modules too?

I understand that I can not re-lock and unrooted with this. All I would like to do is revert back to the stock kernel.
[Xoom General] BeagleBoy:
If you're just looking to replace the kernel, you can just flash boot.img. The wireless modules will still be modified, I'm not sure if they work with the stock kernel or not. Doing it this way will leave you rooted. If you don't mind losing root, you can flash boot.img and system.img. I.e., along with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" do a "fastboot flash system system.img"

If you want to remain rooted, and if wifi doesn't work after reflashing boot.img, you'll need to push the original wifi driver.

[Xoom General] qubz:
Thanks man. One more question, will doing this unroot or erase my current setup?
[Xoom General] BeagleBoy:
You're too quick. I edited my previous post to clarify, but you beat me to it.
[Xoom General] dc5guy:
Please let us know how it goes. I plan on doing the same with my Xoom since I'm having reboot issues with the modified kernel
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
Now that we actually have a stock boot image, it shouldn't be hard for someone to create a stock image with security off in the default.prop.

(hell, I'd try it myself except I don't have a Xoom yet.)
[Xoom General] Synman:
Still no ETA on an official stock ROM from Motorola. I wonder why they're sitting on it.

See post #8 by Matt. Pretty comforting. :)
[Xoom General] qubz:
OK, so I gave it a shot.

boot.img flashed fine, but borked the wifi. When I tried to push the driver, it seemed like adb could not recognise the device:

./adb push /Users/matt/Downloads/2011/04/12/xoom_original/Xoom_Wifi_3.0.1/system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

error: device not found

adb remount showed:

./adb remount

remount failed: Operation not permitted

So I flashed the system.img. There was an error:

ERROR: could not get pipe properties

sending 'system' (262144 KB)... OKAY

writing 'system'... OKAY

So it all worked OK in the end and I rebooted into a stock unlocked unrooted system with all my previous apps there.

It also looks like the lag in the UI is gone too. Thats why I wanted to do this. :)

UPDATE: I rooted it again with Tiamats kernel cause I needed ad free esp' for xda. I don't think ill be OCing again cause of the ui lag. All in all this has been a worthy exercise.
[Xoom General] Scourge1024:
What happened when you tried to oem-lock? I was playing around (and taking a huge risk) by doing a "fastboot oem lock". I have not touched my boot, recovery or system partitions. It looks like it relocked fine and I was able to get back in.

I gave it a shot because I figured that it's guaranteed that the userdata partition will change the moment you boot into your Xoom normally. And plus, it's wiped clean anyway when you do a lock/unlock.

Could it be possible that your oem lock failed because you overwrote your recovery partition?

I'm going to try ripping the recovery partition later. I'm still new at all this. Going to try both "cat" and "dd" to extract the recovery partition and do a file compare. Wish me luck!
[Xoom General] Synman:
I'm not sure what one would overwrite recovery with :O

Just to confirm you cuurently have a RElocked wifi xoom? Did you do anything in between unlock, restore, and lock such as flashing tiamat? If you simply relocked the base system with zero modifications then its completely plausibe that it would work.... at least it better!
[Xoom General] Scourge1024:
Not anymore... I flashed my boot.img with the one here, plus using the recovery and system. No go. :( I sad. Bricked.

I was able to relock before I changed the boot and image partitions. And userdata is changed the moment you turn on the Xoom... Never changed my recovery partition. I did a diff/cmp against the system image I ripped before I bricked (also, I had not changed anything to my knowledge) and it was a little different from BeagleBoy's... I wonder if the Canadian Xoom Wi-Fi has slightly different stuff on it...

Now at:

and (when pressing vol down after doing the power+up reset)

Can't get into RSD mode 3. RSD lite won't recognize (plus no SBF for wi-fi) and can't connect using Fastboot or ADB.
[Xoom General] BeagleBoy:
Interesting. Can you post the diff somewhere?

Yeah, that's where you end up after a bad re-lock. The only option that I know of when you're at this point is to return the xoom for a new one.

To answer someone else's question, I originally flashed a rooted boot.img to my recovery partition, so I could boot to a rooted system with my boot and system partitions still unmodified. That's how I could get the stock images.
[Xoom General] Scourge1024:
You may have to help me with command line args for diff/cmp. I recall reading the man files for them but can't figure it out.

I guess my alternative is to go into windows and do a "fc /b". Would my system partion change if I did an "adb remount"? I did that prior to grabbing it but never wrote to it.

I plan on getting a new Xoom wifi after bricking mine. This time I'll be sure not to do a remount prior. All this BS could have been avoided if Motorola released the Wi-Fi img files. :(
[Xoom General] Scourge1024:
Okay, I did an "fc /b" on your system.img and my system.img. The differences are quite significant... But here is a sample of the differences:

The first set is yours, the second set is mine. Weird... This is only a small sample. Was taking too long to display on screen. Sending output to a file to see how different it is...

[Xoom General] Scourge1024:
Okay. I need to set up an account first. BUT, I don't know if there's a point. I just found out the Canadian market MZ604 is different from the US MZ604. Same hardware, different software. That would explain why our system img files never matched. Check this thread out. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13016348

I had a friend rip his clean system.img (also Canadian) and his was 5 bytes different from mine... Very weird. Where I had non-zero bytes, he had nulls. I had him follow your method of flashing Tiamat into the recovery partition to give him basic root to "dd" out the boot and system partitions.

So, now I've got Canadian boot, system and recovery files. I compared my original recovery.img to my replacement Xoom's recovery and they were dead on. His is the first Canadian boot.img file I've come across so can't compare that with anything else.

I'll try setting up a MediaFire acct now.

[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
Well, isn't the problem with brickage when you try and relock with it?

Flashing a new set of images and *not* relocking should be fine, I'd say.
[Xoom General] Scourge1024:
Correct. But, if you change to Canadian software, you'll need to do a "fastboot -w" to wipe all your userdata off. Doing a "fastboot OEM unlock" will do it too (just a tad quicker) but I don't want people accidentally forgetting the "un" part of unlock.

The Canadian userdata isn't compatible with US system partition (and vice-versa). That's the reason for the wipe.

Had a chat with moto devs today. Wifi stock images will be available "very soon".
[Xoom General] Scourge1024:

Only 1 byte was off in system! So, I'd say that was a near perfect rip! Boot was perfect!

well i have officially failed in flashing even after following all the proper steps and guidelines to the last instruction. here is how my sad story goes

had bionix 1.3.1 running so i backed everything up and used odin went to stock then reflashed bionix frost 2.2.1 updated version. following all the steps properly

problem: none of my system data that i backed up is being restored but all the apps and their data has been restored. i have tried over and over again but no contacts or phone detail or nothing not even settings.

here is what im thinking

1) reflash the phone again like reinstall frost, but do i back up everything again and sadly none of my current system data is their to back up ? what to do ?

2) go back to stock and flash something 2.2 again instead of 2.2.1, but what about the system data contacts and messages and stuff.?

should i back up again althought my system data isnt restored on the current frost OS. or it doesnt matter ? im really confused and worried i'll lose my data.

any help suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.

Rooting is firstly necessary... Its the process where u get access to ur system files by deleting some system files via softwares and/or programming skills.. It also void your manufacturer's warranty..

Do not root only for installing a keyboard..!!! Its a big thing and not for beginners..!!

Then again u have to install custom recovery which is, kind of like bios in computer!! Via custom recovery u can install zip files!!

If you always use fixed SBF's (not full SBF) you can always rollback to your stock rom. Don't know if you can upgrade directly to Korea, but you can try. If anything goes wrong, you only have to go back.

PS: I don't know if it's a good moment to update, since many 2.2 ROM's have been released in the week. Maybe you can wait a little, and see a good custom rom on the next days (barebones 1.4 is scheduled to sunday).
