Failed image LNX 0x0002

Hi folks, I'm wondering if someone here has the know-how to help me out with a possibly bricked Xoom MZ601 after I tried to flash it back to stock firmware.

I'm now getting the following message in the top-left corner when I turn on the device:

Failed image LNX 0x0002

Starting RSD mode 2

If I restart it by holding the Vol Down button, I get this instead:

Failed image LNX 0x0002

Starting Fastboot protocol support

At this point the device

should

be recognised by my PC when I connect it via USB cable, and I

should

be able to run ADB or Fastboot commands from my PC, but in fact it is not recognised at all and ADB/Fastboot commands don't work (I get "waiting for any device" when I run them from the Command Prompt).

And yes, I do have the Motorola v6.4.0 USB drivers installed on my PC. I was able to successfully use ADB and Fastboot commands previously.

Here's what I did to get to this point:

Originally the Xoom had some custom ROM on it - not sure which, but it was definitely not stock. I wanted to return it to stock, so I downloaded one of the stock firmwares from the first post in this thread (which also matched the MD5 checksum of one of the stock firmwares from https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/rom-images so I know the firmware was good).

I installed the Motorola USB drivers on my PC, connected a USB cable to the Xoom, and ran "adb reboot bootloader". The Xoom rebooted into Fastboot mode.

Then I unlocked it by running "fastboot oem unlock" and confirming the prompts. This worked, and the Xoom rebooted itself.

I then rebooted it back into Fastboot mode and ran the following commands in succession:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem lock

Each command was successful. A "succesful" message was displayed both on the Xoom itself and also in the Command Prompt window on my PC for each command.

But after running the final comand: "fastboot oem lock" - and confirming the prompt it gave me - the device tried to reboot, but then started to display the error message I mentioned above, and won't go any further than that. It's also not possible to turn it off anymore. If I push Power + Vol Up, it will turn itself off, but then it automatically turns back on after a few seconds. The only way I'll be able to turn it off will be to let the battery drain out.

I've read elsewhere that this scenario can happen if you "oem lock" the device after flashing a custom ROM. But I haven't done that - I've locked the device after flashing an official stock ROM, following the instructions on Motorola's own page. So I don't understand why this has happened.

Anyway it seems to be bricked, but the question is how to unbrick it. As I mentioned, it is no longer detected by my PC anymore, even when I put it into Fastboot mode. I've tried this on two different PCs. So there's no chance to run any ADB or Fastboot command on it currently.

Any ideas?

Issues Writing Files

After erasing the system, recovery, and boot data I am still stuck with the following errors when attempting to write the system, boot, and recovery images: "FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))" and "FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))". I am using a USB 2 port and have the appropriate cables.

As of right now, I am stuck on a blank post screen when holding "Power + Vol Down" and gaining fastboot access, and the "RSD Mode 3" boot screen when simply powering on the device.

I'm uncertain if the bootloader is locked because "fastboot oem device-info" fails to report the current status of the bootloader exiting with "FAILED (remote: '(00120000)')", don't know why it would be locked as I already had a custom ROM installed.

When attempting to hook this command on boot; I performed the "fastboot oem unlock" request and while holding "Power + Vol Down" it will boot into a blank black screen with the command exiting as successful in the terminal, as if the device it was actually that mode. The only way to get out of it is to hold “Power + Up Vol” to perform another hard reset.

I have been working to restore this tablet to stock for awhile now, I had successful customer ROM setups in the past, I am unsure why the device is in the state it's in. If anyone can assist me in fixing this as most other sources are dead or outdated, it would be very much appreciated. It's very possible I am doing things in the wrong order, if someone with expertise could show me that would be great, or let me know it's bricked so I can move on. :(

Well, I dont have mms but when I go over my limit for sms, its converts it into mms. I my stock eclair 2.1 it would make a second sms message and send each out seperately, how do i get mine to do that...? If you i use go sms pro, the person that recieves a message longer than one page long gets **** like #$%#$%#$% Im on the superclean rom for the showcase.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
Kind of lost me with your wordage but if you want to use GO SMS, under Send Settings in GO SMS check the box for splitting up long SMS messages. It should then send them as multiple SMS and not convert it to MMS.

If you're saying you've tried that and people are getting screwed up messages, then try another SMS application, such as Handcent.
[Samsung Mesmerize] raisedinal:
I have the same problem with long messages coming in like garbage but I am just using the SMS messaging that came with the phone.

Dear All,

Anyone from India ordering their SII from UK please post your order status here.

Thankyou
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
What r you doing man?:mad:

People over this region are getting too much impatient.

What is the need of ordering it from UK,when it will probably be launched 10-15 days later after UK launch.;)

Useless thread,please delete it
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
OMG!!!

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!

I have a meeting today to discuss a bulk order of these devices among others. I HOPE to have a clearer understanding of the time schedules and the reasons behind them. If all goes well, I will post the updates this afternoon.

Getting a device from out of region = No Warranty, No Support, Higher Cost.

unless you live in North America then this is the only way to get it until who knows how many months later : ( plus there's always manufacturer's warranty i guess. and stuff.. lol

I'm thinking that we should start a petition to send to Microsoft, Sharp, or NVidia for something to help us or possibly to update the device to WP7. This is the petition on FaceBook as well as the FaceBook page http - //facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_212064352155651 (replace - with : )
[KIN Two Software Development] slimeq:
i suppose it's worth a try, but i highly doubt anyone will take notice of a petition with 17 signatures. regardless, i will sign it as soon as i'm accepted into the group (why isn't it open?).

I love the fact of the petition but honestly we are going to need a hell of alot more people to sign it.

3D modelled stargate animation

Here is a couple of bootanims I made lately.

-

LONG: 34megs 650 frames at 30fps - a bit of a overkill on quality.

SHORT: Under 4megs 80frames 15fps (last 30 loop) - more sensible...maybe

I am thinking about doing a marching version with looping part on the army entering from the stargate on a formation of endless flow?!?!

1) Zoom in the planet

2) Locate stargate

3) Initialize stargate

4) Entering android world(loop)

What do you guys think?

Any suggestions?

Suggestion .. Can you do one with the actual stargate ..locking in the Chevrons .. then creating the wormhole...

no Androids or anything like that ... it would look just like the tv show when they are dialing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCBs80-PjC4

This is by far the best one just wished he did a full dial sequence

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zOtp7WPNyg

Here is a good example of what i am thinking of :)
[Android Themes] OmenSixSixSix:
I think it is worth a try?!

Maybe the loop in the end could be the wormhole-effect?

-"dialing"

-chevrons locking

-initialize the gate aka waterpuddle-effect

-enter wormhole

Any suggestions?

I have a short version of the gate initaillizing the last chevron then kwooosh then water effect

I will upload when i get in hopefully someone can take a look and let me know where i am going wrong

Had a quick look. I think all the parts should start with a xxx.001.

Every folder start from beginning.

Your first sequence is xxx.101... Which is allright but second was something like xxx.134...?

Maybe this loop is looking for a png called xxxx.0001? I will alter your png-files with a batch rename and see how it goes when I reach my laptop. L8er dude

no compression. I was under the impression that it did not matter what number the .png files start with so long as they are in sequence.

I had a similar problem where the animation turned black after the first folder run through. Did not get it to loop the rest.

I renamed the second part PNGs and voilá! it worked?!?

I did the same to your sequence:)

Now the pix are xxxx.01,02,03...

Well did not get it to work on my Galaxy S:(

All your PNGs were 260x255.

So I edited the desc.txt to suit the pix. To strech it to 480x800 might be a bit too much? I put it to 260x255 and tried but no go.

So I went to Fireworks and resized pix to 480x471 (same ratio as orig.)

Created new png-files (which were even smaller in size). Edited the txt-file and everything worked just fine.

Maybe there was a problem with the png-files compression or mode.

What program did you use and with what settings?

Anyways here you are:

Already at work but will def check it out when i get in.

I used photoshop to create the png files from the video file and also to edit the size down when exporting from photoshop. Original file size was 480x480

I then used PNG gauntlet to compress the png files down.

ORignally when i made it the file was upwards of 26mb which was too huge and that was when i kept the pictures in original png size and format.

Is there a program you can use to renumber a batch of photos to get them in sequence with the original folder.

Again when i get in i will check it out and see
[Android Themes] OmenSixSixSix:
Well I used WinSome File Renamer to do the job. There are lots of free ones...just search the net.

I used pngGauntlet few times but the size was by no means optimal. Quite big compared to fireworks.
