That's very good news!!! Hopefully it's not a long wait. You're luckier than I was!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaz03:
Yeah add one more to the crew. Im just wondering. Even when we get the .sbf How will rsd lite recognize the xoom? wait for a rsd update?

All I know is Moto needs to get ontop of their game and stop putting us on the back burner. They gave us the oppurtunity to unlock this device and do whatever the heck we wanted but they provide no other support or info. I dont think they knew what they were getting themselves into. Ha neither did I
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scourge1024:
I wouldn't hold my breath. RSD Lite should pick up a non-bricked Xoom. I'd try getting an exchange.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaz03:
Of course it will pick up a non bricked, but its strange how the bootloader now reads "RSD mode 2" instead of "3". Motorola will have to update RSD it looks like because I cant get anytrhing on the latest 5.0. Chances are they wont even bother.

Would like to return but Im a little past my 14 day warranty.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scourge1024:
:( you might be screwed then. Contact Motorola and see if they can help. Right now, if nothing is reading your Xoom, it's probably a lost cause. It'd probably have to go through the same process before anything was put on it. :(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaz03:
I went ahead and sent a repair order online. They send you a box to ship it back to them in and they also ask you to explain what happened to the device in some detail. Hmmm .... noooot sure if i was 100% honest, but i was pretty honest. :p
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidz:
had the same problem, i called motorola and have to ship it back to them. good news is my bootloader is locked, it got bricked after the device was oem locked.

They will either fix it which i doubt or send me a new one.

P.S. funny thing is that mine got bricked while i was following the instructions on the motorola site to restore to stock.

Fixed mine with a 'Factory Cable'

Followed the instructions from the below link and it worked !

I tried to re-lock my wifi Xoom and I got the LNX image 00X002 error and couldnt do anything. but using this custom made cable I was able to run fastboot and unlock my xoom again :)

Follow the instructions below, you can buy one for 30$+ but its waaay to expensive as its actually a simple USB cable.

URL: NOOB cant post URLs :L , just Google for Motorola Factory or Programming Cable.

I was going to post the thread from droidforums where they show how to make yours.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 21chip:
Fixed mine.

I used dos command promp to unlock it again with

(fastboot oem unlock) said waiting for xoom. Do hard reboots vol. up and then power button and down vol. down. hold for like a min. It will enter fastboot agian. may take a few times. Did for me. I used Motodev restore files and tryed to relock. Thats were i went wrong. With the files i found you can NOT do master reset. I get the big green droid with a ! on him with master reset. Im sure its the boot loader. Thats why i tryed to lock it. Still works fine Wifi Xoom 3.1 just cant do a master reset. Any ideas? WIFI SBF would be nice. Tryed to get sdcard to work. Fastboot Reboot with not work for me. Can not Root Tab. with not run files.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I know there a lot of threads to read through, but it is said over and over, don't try to relock the wifi only Xoom. You will brick it that way.

If you want to root, use the "idiot's guide" in development (I'm not calling you an idiot). You'll get there. Good luck.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikil511:
I had the same problem, but I resolved it without the use of a special cable ...

I actually started with a different problem, RSDlite (5.1.3) is not working (could not load ini, blah blah) so at some point I was wondering if it had to do with the fact that I was oem unlocked!, hence tried to relock...

As one can expect, I ented up with a RSD protocol 2, LNX error 0x0004 and RSDlite was STILL giving me the same error (hence not related to lock)

at that point, I was ready to make the "special cable" .. but wanted to make sure I had no fastboot!

Did a boot with vol-down pressed, and entered fastboot...

I allready had the latest motorola drivers installed (5.1 or something) and "fastboot devices" was showing me my device. Hence I did a "fastboot oem unlock" and everything return to normal and xoom is working (well, kind of, lost all user settings/apps, but never mind)

so my tip, before making the cable, give fastboot another try!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaval:
Had the same problem and you "don't" need a dev USB cable.

This applies the the MZ604 with the 0x0004 error were you cant fastboot.

Well you can:

Just setup like this:

Have the supplied moto usb cable attached to the xoom

1:Type "Fastboot oem unlock" and Enter: It will say "Waiting for device"

2:Reset the Xoom (Power and Vol+)

3: Immediately press'n hold "Vol- and power", when the Dual core logo appears. You will need to hold them down for 10-20 sec

4: After 10-20 sec you will see that the fastboot command gets through and you can unlock the xoom (MZ604 US)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diih_garcia:
Hello everybody :)

I've the same problem but I followed the instructions to get acess to fastboot mod and used the content of this topic :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1057742 except for the "fastboot oem lock" command and this worked to me.

Successfully unbrick my Xoom MZ606

I had the same problem get caught at the boot screen with words as follow:

Failed to boot LNX 0x0004

Starting RSD mode 2...

(I am not sure we had the same cause of the "brick", mine happened when I was trying to relock the bootloader)

I was unable to power off my Xoom, and seem like nothing I can do with it.

What I did was:

1. connect Xoom to PC with Moto USB Cable (the one shipped with Xoom)

2. ADB command: fastboot reboot-bootloader

3. It will show <waiting for device>

4. Then Press Pwr + Vup (reset xoom)

5. When Xoom go into black screen (before the Moto logo appear), press and hold volume down button. I was then successfully get into Fastboot.

In step no. 5, you must press and hold the volume down button, if you release the button, Xoom will reset by itself and you will again caught in the "Failed to boot LNX 0x0004" screen. If you accidentally let go the volume down button, repeat step 4 - 5, and make sure you will not let go the volume down button this time.

Then, one of your hand is holding the volume down button, use your another hand to enter an ADB command: "fastboot oem unlock", you will be able to unlock your bootloader, and xoom will reboot normally.

I struggle all night long without sleep for this, and hopefully this will help those in panic of their soft-brick moto xoom.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixelSyndicate:
I understand this is insanely frustrating... the "failed to boot lnx" or "failed image sos" error after re-locking the bootloader.

I just went through several hours of pain using Fastboot and ADB to get my xoom back to stock so i can get the latest OTA.

I was able to get ADB to unlock the tablet again however following these steps

fix it by running "fastboot reboot-bootloader" (which worked sometimes)

or else

I unplugged the USB cable from my PC, ran "fastboot oem unlock" in terminal

C:\Xoom>fastboot oem unlock

< waiting for device >

and then while the console was < waiting for device >, i would power+vol-up and then press-n-hold volume-down until i got fastboot support, (even though it did say there was still the sos image error)

Then i plugged the USB cable back in; suddenly the boot loader to be seen by windows adb and unlocked again (however briefly)

...

(bootloader) To continue, follow instructions on the device's display...

OKAY [ 89.947s]

finished. total time: 89.950s

this allowed me to re-install the base OS from adb and get back up.

Hope this helps.

Could anyone confirm whether my Touch Key Backlight app works on the G2X?

It's a 99p paid app, but you can refund in 15 mins of course, and if you can test i'd be most grateful.

Be aware my Recovery Boot app will not work on the G2X currently, I need to update it to add compatability.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hello, I had the carnage theme on my phone n I decided to do something new. I recently flashed scarlets leftovers over carnage. My problem is the themed camera app, video recorder, google search apps etc are all still carnage themed. I was wondering how I could revert then back to stock bionix 1.3.1 themed apps without reflashing bionix. Any info is appreciated. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] paulobrien:
G2X owners...

Do NOT flash a Optimus 2X baseband onto your G2X. It will remove all phone functionality (I am working on obtaining a P999 baseband so you can revert if you've done this).

Do NOT use my recovery installer or recovery reboot app at this time - recovery is on a different partition in the G2X. I will update the installed and app to add G2X compatability soon.

Could a mod sticky this as it's VERY important information?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] zedklind:
seeing your avatar and mini profile on the left side of your posts i can tell you have the optimus 2x. the g2x wasnt released in the uk. the optimus 2x is bloated with LG stuffs :/. as soon as it is all removed its almost the same phone minus the firmware and some other coding :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
So basically - we can root the phone using the info from the 2X but no custom ROMs until this issue gets fixed?

As long as I can root it the second I get it and remove all the T-Mo bloat (except for Wifi Calling, I happen to love that feature), I can be patient before flashing custom ROMs and kernels and such. Apparently the G2x, being stock Android, performs pretty damn well out of the box anyway.

What about using Rom Manager to flash clockwork mod recovery? I have a paid version of Rom Manager and it is even better with the latest and greatest update.

I rooted mine with the SuperOneClick method, but I'm not able to get into recovery with Rom Manager or by holding down the power and volume down. I'm wondering if I'm not completely rooted. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vinnyjr:
Don't think a recovery has been set up for our phone yet, will be coming very soon. Just go to market and download a app that requires root, click on it and see if you are asked for superuser permission, click yes of course and id so you are rooted. We will have Rom manager working for us very soon, I hope. Should be getting my G2X sometime today, waiting for the damn UPS truck as I type this in. Good Luck.

PS Make sure you reboot your phone after you use the super one click. Then you should be set to go.

Thank you for the very nice response. I do have super user and titanium back up working, so I will wait patiently for Rom Manager :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
Shouldn't be too hard to get a recovery for the phone - just don't flash a 2X radio to a G2x and you should be fine once recovery launches. RIL still needs a lot of work.

how do u guys feel about the g2x just having 512mb of ram ?will this affect what roms we will b able to load in to the device ? my hd2 has 1gb and after froyo rom i have only 400 mb left , and i see the european hd2 have only 512mb and they are limited to lite vertions of roms if any, just wondering if this would b the case with the g2x .......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
RAM and ROM are entirely different beasts. 512MB of RAM is on the low side but I don't see that being a bottleneck in the immediate future.

As for ROM, this phone has approximately 1.5GB usable internal storage, not including the partition for the OS.

Specs straight from HTC on the HD2:

ROM 1GB;

RAM 576MB

There is more RAM but that figure includes the RAM dedicated to the Adreno 200 graphics in the phone.

RAM is for running apps, ROM is for storing them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gilbert11231123:
thx for your quick response i guess u r right 54 extra mb is not a huge difference i will upgrade to the g2x and give it a try ......

How can I achieve the following?

Aguire, reinstall baseband radio for G2x (P999)

Appy the STOCK G2X rom, (and realign the dataspaces/partions)

Ive tried reading through different threads/posts/forums, and end up confusing myself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Outlaw71:
Good info, glad I stumbled upon this!

It was my understanding that the 2X and G2x were identical devices. So I figured what ever they were doing with the 2X, we could also do with our G2x. In fact over on Phandroid they don't have separate forums for the two devices, both owners post in the 'LG Optimus 2X' forum.

So when I got over here and saw that they were separated I thought to myself, "what's up with that"? Now it all makes sense. Glad I didn't go into the 2X section first and try to flash one of their ROMs.

That wouldn't have turned out very good for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Chinpokomon:
The European HD2 is a different beast than the TMOUS version. T-Mobile has more RAM and was quite a significant improvement...

Not a bad device, and better IMO with Android. ;-) I think it had great hardware, and even though I worked on Swype for it, WM6.5 really limited its potential.

It won't work correctly unless you change some things to invoke the proper baseband. As it is it will try to invoke the 2X baseband and will fail since it does not exist. Would take someone with some Android knowledge to get it working, but it is very doable.
