[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djleez82:
According to the guide that were using, if you allow the xoom to boot fully into honeycomb it reinstalls the stock recovery, and you need to redo the process all over. Also, you need to be in honeycomb to use the ADB command, if your in fastboot it won't detect the xoom. This did not work for me. Anyone else try it?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiechris:
no luck for me here either. I can flash recovery successfully (according to the prompt) no problems there. I just have the exact same trouble booting into it as above.

Vol Down key combo doesn't work and if you leave the OS to boot straight after install, CWM is replaced by stock recovery. No fun at all. :(

Any further news or suggestions on this?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2k-inc:
Same as my Xoom, opened a thread just for it, but no one can help :confused:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkofilee:
much easier... download rom manager and click boot to recovery haha ...

If not rooted,

adb reboot recovery via a cmdline window works a treat :)_
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Just make sure that Rom Manager doesn't trick you into flashing a non-compatible updated recovery version.

In my experience it doesn't play well with the Xoom.

If all you want is a non manual way to boot into recovery from the OS, download Quick Boot (if rooted) or if you're already on the Tiamat Moray Rom, it's something you can choose when you press the power button on the back.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiechris:
the problem is that for me and others with this issue, you can't use adb to boot recovery. If you install recovery from fastboot then boot into the regular OS without booting to recovery and rooting, the OS replaces CWM with the stock recovery. This means if you use adb or another app to reboot into recovery, you just get stock recovery which is totally useless. I can't load recovery or root using anay of the universal methods I have come accross. We need a way to boot into recovery without having it replaced with stock or another rooting method or something. Any other ideas?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Look, this is how I had to flash CWM image file- through adb,/fastboot just like you. No matter what you say, it comes down to a question of timing.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djleez82:
I'm not sure about everyone else with the no recovery option, but timing just isnt the issue for me. Without a lie i've tried to enter recovery over 50 times at various points, 95% of those attempts were at the 3 second mark that is stated in the xda guide we've been using. I'm aware of one other person here whos tried it MUCH more than me with exactly the same result.

However theres one thing that we could narrow it down with. Thus far the people having this issue are using the asian firmware xoom's. Could everyone else having this problem on this thread say whether or not theyre using the asian firmware too? Maybe the asian firmware can't be rooted this way?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiechris:
I have to agree with djleez. It doesn't feel like timing. A menu appears where the recovery menu select should be, but it just has the wrong options. Have also tries a bajillion times waiting from 1 second all the way through to about 10 seconds. Nothing. Either, itssomething with the asian firmware or something else Ican't explain.

I also have asian firmware. See picture for all the details.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Just to be perfectly clear, if the stock recovery overwrites the custom recovery, you have to flash again and try again to "catch the boot." That said, if you still can't get there, you may be right about the Asian firmware. I wonder what solarnz would think about this?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djleez82:
holy crap! all asian xoom users i think ive just about rooted my xoom! im finishing up the process now and if it works without significant error ill report back and give you the rundown. Wish me luck
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiechris:
holy crap indeed. Good luck! and do share. I'll be next in line to try it out.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djleez82:
Ok guys, success! Rooting with our asian xooms is entirely possible! The key is installing the US firmware version and ditching the asian completely. At first i didn't think you could do that for fear of bricking the tab, as it so turns out all wifi xooms are the same, its only the languages you lose when flashing a new firmware.

Ok here's the guide to follow:

http://www.simonjstuart.com/2011/07/23/gedify-your-non-us-wifi-xoom-for-n00bs/

The trick here is to follow that guide to the letter, UP UNTIL the part where you download the update to 3.2. Once you've downloaded 3.1 from the system updates tab, stop there, then follow this guide:

http://www.androidtotal.com/root-motorola-xoom-wifi-android-3.1-honeycomb/

This is the guide that all us asian tab owners know all too well now. However you'll now be happy to know that when u push the down key after 3 seconds at boot, the Android recovery menu WILL appear, and by the end of the process you've got a rooted 3.1 xoom! Looks like its definately an incompatibility with asian firmwares now.

I've now moved onto updating to a rooted 3.2 firmware using this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242524

however i've run into a wifi not working problem, something ill have to tackle tomorrow. Best part about all this though, is if at any point things go screwy, or you bootloop yourself, you can just start again from the 1st guide. I think i'll stick on 3.1 rooted for now until i do some research, but thats better than no root at all! This should ease some of us poor aussies/asians who thought we had no access to root xD

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

And I just successfully flashed 3.2 rooted with no wifi issue! Hopefully our problems with this are over now xD
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiechris:
Success. I can also confirm this method working on Asian firmware. Thanks djleez!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enmriley:
Guys,

I am at 3.2.1 HTK75. I get stuck at running the recovery (I get the error message below). I am wondering if anyone knows if I can flash back to 3.1 and root from there (that is, can I use the firmware djleez82 found)?

imacs-imac:platform-tools imac$ adb reboot bootloader

imacs-imac:platform-tools imac$ fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img

< waiting for device >

sending 'recovery' (3998 KB)... ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002ed

FAILED (data transfer failure (No such file or directory))

imacs-imac:platform-tools imac$
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiechris:
It sounds to me that adb can't find the recovery.img file.

I would recommend copying your image file to the same directory you're running adb from and check that it is called recovery.img. If has another name or is located in a different directory, adb won't be able to find it or send it to your xoom

Let me know if this fixes things or if there are still issues and we can work through them.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djleez82:
And as long as ur using the Wifi only xoom you can use the 1st guide in my above post as many times as you want to get back to 3.0.1. U can then update to 3.1 and root it that way
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enmriley:
Great news. I found a site that included a good (high-level) description of fastboot commands (link is pasted in below). I decided to erase the Recovery partition and rerun all firmware commands as instructed on MotoDev. This put me back to 3.0.1 and running fine (3.0.1 is apparently the latest files from MotoDev). The Xoom then updated (a few times) to 3.2 at which point I successfully flashed the custom recovery and rooted. Thanks!

From brick to root... feels good.

Dude filesonic is worse then 4shared.

What is the "options pack" that comes in the e-mail?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
I believe that contains the set of choices that you made for your ROM in the kitchen, to be flashed after flashing the core of the ROM.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hah2110:
Oh - I thought it was one flash? His stuff isn't usually like that?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
hehe, I dunno, this is the first time I have done this. the email said to flash in 2 parts: the core, then the option pack.

my ROM basically worked fine, but I choose the AOSP messaging apk, and the settings for the app would force close... so I couldn't customize it at all. but then I kinda thought it looked weird anyway, mixing AOSP with Sense, lol.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hah2110:
ROM doesn't work for me. I can't get past the T-Mobile myTouch4g Slide splash screen. Left it for 15+ minutes, tried wiping/flashing again with no luck.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hah2110:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Go into mounts and storage.....format system. All thru recovery. Format system is vital.

[LG Optimus 3D] abecks:
Hi guys,

I accidentally flashed the wrong Clockworkmod Recovery using ROM Manager ( I flashed one for the LG Optimus 2x ). Now the phone stays at the LG logo and does not boot. I can get into recovery but it doesnt seem like I can do much from there. I have tried to boot into Emergency Download Mode by holding Vol Down (also tried both Vol buttons simultaneously) while inserting the USB cable. The LG Logo comes up, followed by the battery display, then a blank screen, no devices show up in my computer.

Have I bricked the phone? Is there a way to get from recovery to download mode?

I'd really appreciate any help, even if you can point me in the right direction.

I rooted my 2X with super one click and installed CWM 5.0.2.0 using rom manager. I used the rom manager to reboot in to recovery for the first time, then I tried to boot into recovery by holding down vol- & power but instead of taking me to recovery it gets stuck at LG logo. I had to remove the battery to reboot the phone.

Any one got a solution for this.
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
It works now, I just kept holding Vol- & power button for around 10 secs after the LG logo apeared then released and it went to recovery.

[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
It isnt rom manager is an app that lets you quickly reboot to CWM witput pressing any buttons
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
Yup, this was the first time I tried to boot into recovery manually. These apps are no use once you flash a new baseband using smartflash as it will do a full wipe of the device and you have to enter recovery manually.
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
the tricky part is to release the power button at the right time, or immediately the first menu item (= reboot system now) will be executed.
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
You are absolutely right, I just released the buttons as soon as the LG logo appeared. As a result it gets stuck and I have to remove the battery.

hisham i did the same but my phone is stuck on the logo too....i tried to boot in recovery mode but its still stuck/////
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
Try booting into recovery again, this time hold the Vol- and power button a little bit longer (maybe 15 or 20 secs) and also try updating CWM to the latest using ROM Manager.
[LG Optimus 2x] kinggujju:
my phone has stopped booting all togather!! i m on stock....
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
I dont have a clue whats going on but you can use smartflash to restore the device to factory. If anyone has a better solution please tell.

Smart flash???how to do it??

[LG Optimus 2x] Jon-Leo:
Same here

I have almost the same problem. That is, when I try booting to recovery from ROM manager, my phone is stuck on the LG logo (red one), but when I try holding vol- and power button to boot into recovery it just does a regular boot.

I recently went from CM7 to a new stock ROM using Smartflash tool, but I want to change back due to lack of apps available.

I have also installed CWM from the AIO-toolkit for P990, but this didn't help. I still cant boot into recovery.

Does anyone have a solution to this? I want to flash a new ROM rather than the stock LG one.
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
with CWM 5.x.x.x you have to push and hold both power an volume- and after CWM screen is started DO NOT release the power button first but release the volume- first (keep powerbutton pushed all the time) and push volume- once so it does not choose the reboot option.

Then release both buttons, "scroll" with vol- or vol+ and "enter" with powerbutton

First time i used the CWM5.XXX the "reboots" did drive my creazy :)

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treb1971:
1. Back up your existing firmware, in case you want to revert.

You can do this by rooting your Tab - I use SuperOneClick.

Titanium Backup is a very good app for backing up, it needs root access.

2. Visit the Dev thread.

3. Choose a ROM. Make sure it is appropriate for your Tab, i.e., don't try to load a CDMA ROM, or a P1000L/P1000N ROM

4. Thank the Developer - it's important to be nice.

5. If you don't like that ROM, choose another!

Hope that helps...
