[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jai134:
I'm new to Xoom but gave unlocking and rooting a go. That was todays mistake! I flashed a 3g version of boot.img. Then I tried to flash back to stock img-file. Found out that it also was a 3g img-file. Flashed once more. Now it was a wifi-only boot.img. Now I'm stuck at the Motorola Dual Core logo with Starting RSD mode 3 written in top left corner. I can't shut this thing off or anything else but rebooting back to same screen. I really don't know what to do. I bought it yesterday from a man that bought it in the US a week ago so I can't go to the shop and I don't think there are any shop that can flash it for me because it's not available here in Sweden yet. Please help. I have RSD Lite installed and the correct drivers for the Xoom installed. I'm used to ADB but it can't find the device and fastboot doesn't see it either.

Edit. I can't go into fastboot mode.

That doesn't do it. Propably it's some stupid misstake from me but I cannot do this because of " I pressed Vol Down + power until the screen went black". It wont get black. When I press Power + Vol down nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong. I have tried holding the buttons for about 30 seconds and nothing happens.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClydeB1:
Did you just press the buttons or did you also enter the fastboot code as suggested?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jai134:
First cmd command then pressing the buttons. When I reboot using power + vol up it starts into RSD mode 3. When rebooting it with power + vol up then vol down when black it starts into the logo screen without any text in the upper left corner. Can't even shut it down with long press on power button

Can I pull the battery? On my Galaxy S that's the way out if I get in a boot loop or need to redo a failed flash.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClydeB1:
Not AFAIK, the unit is sealed and can't access the battery to pull it.

Perhaps ask in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=973355, there may be more technical people seeing it there than in the general section.

Press power+volume up. Hold it til it restarts. Let go of both buttons once you see the motorola logo then just press volume down once, and you should be then able to cycle through 3 different modes. Press volume down to cycle to different modes, volume up to select. Hope that helps.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jai134:
Sorry but I can't cycle through anything. There are two modes. Either "Starting RSD mode 3" or nothing and RSDLite can't communicate with it so I belive that my xoom is dead. Sending it in for repair tomorrow. I'm giving up.

Some people have been getting lucky with ADB commands however others have not been so luck. I myself am in the others category with one of my XOOMS.

Sucks, but some people have been able to get back. I however have not been so lucky with one of the WiFi XOOM's I have and did this purposely to see if maybe something can be done with it. Looks like we have to wait for all the files to be released......

Any day now Moto, util then people will continue to send these devices in and con the stores :-). For this, I applaud them.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kas206:
This might work or it might not.

I had a bricked xoom too. no matter what fastboot i entered it wouldnt recognise it. all it would say is "waiting for device"

This is what i did.

Turn the xoom off

Do not connect you USB cable yet

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

It should say "waiting for devices"

Now plug your xoom

Turn on the xoom.

When you see the Motorola logo press volume down till you see "fastboot protocol"

Press volume up.

It recognise my xoom that way

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyneBridges:
For the second time when trying to install a custom recovery (as the first step to trying to get Kitkat onto my Xoom), my Xoom is stuck at "Starting RSD mode 3". This is with a different recovery from the original, and I was only able to get out of the original loop by spending a long time pushing and prodding different button combinations.

C:\android-sdk\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery OpenRec2.6.3.0-jflteat

t.zip

sending 'recovery' (8350 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.362s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 2.233s]

finished. total time: 3.595s

C:\android-sdk\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot reboot

rebooting...

finished. total time: 0.270s

C:\android-sdk\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot reboot

< waiting for device >

^C

Obviously I can't check at the moment, but I had upgraded the Xoom to the latest official Google version - I think JellyBean 4.1. Does anyone know why this happens, or how I can avoid it happening again (assuming that the device is not completely "bricked")?

EDIT: I know what I did wrong. I shouldn't have used "fastboot flash" with a zip file...if only the instructions were a bit more explicit, instead of just (usually) saying "flash the recovery"!

Eventually got it back by using the command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

then pressing Vol Up and Power until the screen blanked, then quickly pressing Vol Down and power. The message "Flashing..." appeared and I was able to do a "fastboot reboot" and then boot normally. I hope the above (based on advice earlier in the thread) helps someone.

How to solve xoom stuck in RSD MODE

I had the same problem. I solved it using the following steps :

1.Restart pressing power+volume up

2. Immediately press volume down

3. It will then show only the Motorola logo. It looks like it is stuck but it is actually in Fastboot mode.

4. Now flash a recovery.

5. Restart(power+volume up) & enter recovery & flash a ROM.

6. Reboot & your xoom should be normal again.

Thanks!

Thanks mate! I was stuck on Moto logo since I did something wrong and was trying to reboot recovery with cmd etc couldn't. Easy way yours is :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bzzzzz:
Just wanted to confirm that this worked for me too.

I'd been mucking about with flashing and rooting and I think I must have flashed a recovery disk that wasn't right for my xoom. Fortunately didn't brick :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scorpiomaj27:
Regarding the Xoom RSD stuck

For reference for folks like me looking back at this, I was having the same issue with RSD coming up no matter which way I reboot.

To resolve I did as follows, opened up CMD and typed out fastboot.exe oem unlock, but don't hit enter yet, reboot device then immediately hit enter (before screen lights up again) and keep tapping volume down (to pre-empt the RSD stuff), might take a couple tries, but oem unlock will work, then do the same trick with TWRP 2.8.6.0 in my case (you can't flash TWRP if it's locked), some of the TWPP downloads were causing the RSD issue, but 2860 worked.

For flashing, should be as simple as fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp2860.img (or similar file name.)

After you run TWRP 2860 you should then be able to reboot and keeping hitting down to get back to recovery and/or fastboot. Good luck.

This is regarding Xoom Wifi Only and getting up to Omni511, but may work (I would assume) for other bigpart roms.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adjin:
Obviously I've scearched the site and found

From key lock screen, press "menu > back > back > menu > back > menu > menu > back"

which does nothing what so ever

and

*#*#4636#*#*

Which gets me into a nice menu with some usefull info but nothing that will allow me to test the different parts of the phone.

The reason I need this is to test my screen, it will sometimes not react when I touch the borders of the screen, some other times, like when writing messages, it will show the letter "a" in big, but it will not actually be added to my message.

Is this a common problem, the message system (It does the same on internet browser) or is it just my phone.

And how do I get into the menu from lockscreen?

I got rooted stock .435 with .54bb

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjodanx:
hey guys!

when i flash a gingerbread based ROM (i have tried different gingerbread roms), i can´t receive MMS, when my mobile network is disabled. it works well on any older version.

i was searching for a solution, but the only answer i could find was "check your apn´s", but i´m sure they ain´t wrong.

have anybody an idea?

cheers!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rory1980:
Hi there,

If your mobile network is disabled you won't be able to send MMS as the service uses mobile data to send/receive. GPRS, EDGE or 3G is necessary to send receive MMS.

Most ROM's auto-enable the APN for MMS when the mobile network is off some don't, it may be something to feedback to the Dev?

Hope this helps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjodanx:
sure, you need any service to send or receive... but i don´t have a flatrate (from my provider) for mobile network but i have one for send and receive mms. (i dont know how they differentiate between the connection for send/receive mms and ne mobile network, but they do..) so i have always disabled my mobile network (i have set a worng apn server number at my apn list. but the secound apn for mms is correct and it have worked with the stock rom, revolution hd 3.xx or CM6...) but it dont work at revolution hd4 or cm7, so i think its some problem in conjunction with gingerbread...

thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xela-yuki6:
I'm having the same issue at the moment on my Desire HD with Android Revolution HD 4.0 beta installed. Quite sure my APNs are all correct. Any help would be appreciated as I currently can't receive MMS.

[LG Optimus 2x] Keltek:
Do the test from Hidden menu (search this forum to get to the Hidden Menu).

The flash light test is located in "Device Test" -> "Camera Test" -> "Torch Flashlight Preview"

If this test not works, you broke it ;)

Hi ludow,

I don't know what you have done with your phone, but here is my story...

The camera LED flash not working from day one too.. I tried "hidden menu camera test", still nothing lights up. I had the phone and was going to return it but I got delayed for 1 month. I was moving my hand while shooting a video and I noticed that the flash turned on. I thought I was delusional. I asked someone around me: "did you see a flash light?" they said "yes..."

I opened the cam again and kept trying in every way, it doesn't start. I took the back cover off then I opened the LED flash with flash light program and looked at it.. nothing.. I touched it with my finger... nothing.. i pressed on it a bit... and BAM... it flashed in my eyes! :D :D :D

It went away again.. so I guess it has something like.. the LED isn't properly fit.. or may be lose or may be shipping made it loosen up. I did some gentle pushes and tried again, the flash LED worked perfectly :)

Will keep posted if any thing changes... Hope this helps...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reallymoreish:
Hi,

The problem is this whenever I go to open or use certain apps I get a sharp vibration through the phone (Samsung Galaxy s (i9000)) and an error message (sometimes it flashes up and quickly disappears so i can't read it) however in some cases such as the Advanced task killer app i am able to read it it goes like this "(process.com.rechild.advancedtaskkiller)".

It is not solely associated with advanced task killer, it is present in Angry birds Rio (not even the original), beautiful widgets, Smart Battery Monitor, Weatherbug etc. (not always the same message as above).

I have updated it to 2.2.1 as per the Samsung Kies software but that was around 2 weeks ago, and it was fine until yesterday when I changed the battery (i had ordered another one for a backup and i wished to charge it fully) it was a genuine Samsung battery from a reputable online company (and I have since switched back to the original).

Other problems i have had since then is all my calender notes have been erased, my message & ring-tone have been reset, my email accounts have been erased, my contacts are not visible in the contacts menu (i have to select them through messages).

Any advice would be of great use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
this is very common when changing ROMs, happened to me a million times.

first of all if you have the 3 button combo, go into recovery mode, and then wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and then reboot.

if that doesnt work, you will have to do a full factory reset, but if the phone is use-able at the moment, do a backup with Titanium Backup before you do the reset.

a full factory reset is a MUST when flashing ROMs, this helps unwanted files from the previous ROM coming over to the new ROM,

I know you did this through KIES, but i have never used it, i dont like it, Im not sure whether KIES, is supposed to do a reset when upgrading. but do one anyway

attention:: long post, read fullyy

My battery really overheats now. I was at a club 2 weeks ago my phone dropped with my battery popping out! there was a tiny bit of water on it, but i put the phone in a bag of rice for 3 days. I then tried to put the battery in, it was dead. I then proceeded to go to 2 Mobile repair people and get them to look inside my phone to see if there was water damage! 1 said there was none, the other said there was some.

I found out later that my phone still turned on with a friends battery so i left my phone on the table for 2 weeks, ordered battery off of ebay. I found out that i could bring my original HTC battery to life. Charged it last night, and now SPARE Parts is telling me its too hot and overheating and it is!!.....Everything on the phone works fine, Everything! except the battery is getting VERY veryyy hottt arounnd 48-49 C. when the normal for me was 38-41 C. :( any ideas? i really dont want to sell the phone, i know someone would buy it with a battery problem

Battery + water is the worst equation you can have.

Overheating battery can explode (rare, but possible in your case), stop using your phone and get a new one ASAP.

[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
I know you've been on here for a while but I figured I throw down some basic suggestions if it starts doing it again.

Are you oc'd? What to, and which CPU manager do you use (CM or SetCPU)? Do you have a temp profile set for SetCPU?

Is there a process that's eating up your CPU clock cycles? DRM, Downloads, and 3D Gallery cause the Android Media process to make the CPU max out it's set clock frequency sometimes. So check that if it does it again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
Lets get this straight... your problem is with the ORIGINAL battery, not the replacement one you ordered off efag?

You smashed the new battery, its probably shorted out internally. Wait for the new one to arrive, try it out, and then come back here if it is still doing the same thing.
