Proof

Inserted the Sd card today after applying HLK75D SBF my XOOM insisted I restart , and we all know what happens next, frozen at moto logo, so I decided just to downgrade my bootloader using everst 1.35SBF and boom I am back rebbooting fine and have HLK75D with no 3G/4G but wifi is fine.

Further proof that bootloader 1.5 would fix this issue.

The engineers just never thought anybody would need 1.5...DUH!!!!!

Let's start a campaign to suspend service with Verizon and use them to help us..
[Xoom General] kurttrail:
I doubt that. BL 1.5 was more likely deliberately kept out of the sbf to keep MZ600 owners from using this sbf to upgrade their Xooms into MZ602's.

That's probably why Matt from Motorola was unsuccessful in his attempt to have the sbf removed from motodev.

Sent from my Bolt
[Xoom General] REHolt218:
I did. I was told I could send it back for repair; however, I had already been without it for a week and was hoping to use it. They also told me I could download the image from the developers site and fix it myself.

I was also hoping to find a solution here so that I would have a little more flexibility in restoring my files. If I send it back and then rooting or installing other fixes puts it back in the same shape I have no way to correct the problem.
[Xoom General] zone23:
So you guys know if you take out the 3G/4G modem the device will reboot fine with HLK75d. Can't get 3G to work though. Verizon says the MEID is good.

My theory was take the new card out and see if I could get the old 3G internal to kick back in so far it reboots but wont connect.
[Xoom General] luismateos:
You have to use the original SBF and activate before 75D. I reactivated mine that way. I am not with Verizon though.
[Xoom General] zone23:
Well I tried HRI39 & HRI66 no go although I did not flash back to 1.40 (bootloader).
[Xoom General] luismateos:
using the original SBF reactivated my 3g radio which I configured manually. I did not remove the 4G card... Try to activate in the mobile network page before any other update.
[Xoom General] zone23:
may I ask how you do that?
[Xoom General] luismateos:
I used QPST, but since you are with Verizon activation should be automatic
[Xoom General] sakenfenc:
3G

The internal 3G modem was disconnected by hardware fuse burn.. if you sent your device to Moto. so unless you can solder back in give it up ....

we will have fix this week... or we can all send them in....
[Xoom General] zone23:
If you say so but it still shows its getting a 3G signal. If that was the case I would think it would be dead.

Edit:

I never thought I would see the day when someone on XDA would say to "give it up" things have changed thats for sure.
[Xoom General] luismateos:
Well then I reactivated the 3g radio part of the 4G... Not sure, however, using the original SBF, I was able to edit the radio parameters which I could not do in 75D, because they were written to the NV by the Sim card.
[Xoom General] zone23:
You say the original SBF but that is two parts did you flash them both because one flashes the bootloader back to 1.40.
[Xoom General] luismateos:
yes Zone,bootloader first and then SBF... RSD showed original CDMA/EVDO radio... I edited the parameters and then updated to 3.2 and flashed my tiamat nandroid.
[Xoom General] REHolt218:
this post claims to have sbf files with the radio part that is missing from the recovery files.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316358

I'm not familiar with flashing sbf files so I'm not sure what to think about this.

Anyone else a able to confirm that it fixes the problem?
[Xoom General] zone23:
Well put the card back in reflashed HKL75D and 3G came back on so I guess I'm good until I reboot. Back to waiting for Motorola but figured it was worth a shot.
[Xoom General] zarkuu:
If you do this it will deactivate your SIM card so if you ever want to go back to LTE you will need to request a new one. I was originally along these lines but changed my mind when I heard about the SIM card hassle.
[Xoom General] zone23:
Ya i'm not going do something thats difficult to reverse.

Zone,

with all do respect I only meant that as in hardware fix >>> pls don't take it the wrong way!!!
[Xoom General] zone23:
Its all good taking the radio/modem out was the only thing i had not tried. After taking a couple days off i figured it was time to give it a try.
[Xoom General] KidJoe:
Doing an FC, they are the same files (i.e. downloading the one from Moto's site as in Post #1 of this thread, and the file in the thread you linked, then doing an FC on both, there are no differences found.)
[Xoom General] zone23:
Those are basically the same files as Motorola website don't even know why they were posted here and should probably be removed.
[Xoom General] Jewremy:
For ease of access in one thread, as well as a mirror. Moto's device software page isn't easy to find if you don't have the link.
[Xoom General] Brenardo:

Current State of Affairs -- It makes one hell of a paper weight! :rolleyes:
[Xoom General] Jewremy:
You can SBF the 1.45 BL and fastboot flash the images of your choice (I suggest HRI66 and Rogue Recovery) and restore your backup.

1.45 Bootloader: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3821270/1.45-everest.reflash.sbf
[Xoom General] Sullyz:
I'm currently running the 1.45 bootloader -- I've tried reloading both the HRI66 and the HRI39, however, my end result is the Dual-Core screen above.
[Xoom General] sakenfenc:
You have to use 139 SBF and you will boot fine... fastboot will not work..
[Xoom General] zone23:
So now we know the real reason they gave us the stand.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

This will help:

Once you flash HKL75D and boot into it you cannot reboot. If you do it will freeze at the dual core screen. Nothing you do will fix this except flashing 1.35-everest.reflash.sbf. Which of course takes you back to bootloader 1.35. Then flash VZW_MZ600_Signed_HRI39_Signed_MDM600BP_C_02.0F.00R_SW.combo.sbf if it doesn't take flash it again. After you boot back up run the OTA updates until they quite. This will take your bootloader back to 1.45. Then STOP! If you flash the HKL75D again it will work UNTIL YOU REBOOT then you have to start all over from the beginning. don't think well maybe it will work BECAUSE IT WONT.
[Xoom General] xjack:
Thanks for the info, looking forward to resurrecting mine from paperweight status.

Got a download link for the 1.35 SBF and the HRI39 SBF?

The links from the original threads are dead.
[Xoom General] zone23:
Only the ones from the Motorola site unless you want to wait for me to get home and upload them.

http://developer.motorola.com/produ...utm_source=supportforums&utm_term=unlockboard

We can fix that thing I've been in your position or even worse at least 10 times.

Edit:

you need Build HRI39
[Xoom General] xjack:
Checked there and the older versions are fastboot images. RSD says I have the 1.45 bootloader - I'm under the assumption that I need an SBF to get this going again?
[Xoom General] Archangel:
boy this is a pain if you happen to let the xoom power off or run out of battery once you sbf it back to get the 4g working!!!
[Xoom General] Brenardo:
I have read your post several times and I just don't understand what you are saying
[Xoom General] Archangel:
If you downgrade your (4g) bootloader and then try to upgrade to the latest build it wont work,,,what you can do is use RSD lite 5.5.4 and the original sbf build (3.0.1) to flash the build then use your wifi and update the builds over the net until you get to the latest 3g (3.2) build. After that you can connect back to RSD lite (in RSD mode) and sbf the latest moto 4g build. It works and you get 4g back however, once you power off or let the battery run out and then turn it back on it hangs at the moto dual core logo. What you have to do then is start the whole process all over again and just never power off the device.

Hope that clears it up
[Xoom General] Jewremy:
SBF at MotoDev was updated. I'm trying it now.

EDIT: wait, wtf? Not an SBF anymore...
[Xoom General] zone23:
You need to use fastboot now..
[Xoom General] xjack:
No change in behavior here, still locked at the moto screen.
[Xoom General] zarkuu:
Agreed. Still no fix for the bootloader. I've installed the new files and rebooted several times but still on v1.45
[Xoom General] sakenfenc:
Same here unlocked did fastboot -w flashed the HLK75D image only to get stuck at the moto screen....
[Xoom General] Brenardo:
No good news!
[Xoom General] zone23:
Yep same **** different files..

Sucks cause now I got start all over, what a waste of time.
[Xoom General] jadkar:
Damn it!!! We can't use .img files!! You can't flash the bootloader that way. You need an SBF file :( I bet all they did was break down the exisiting HLK75D SBF file into the component .img files and that's it. The BL is flashed seperately and is a completely different animal.
[Xoom General] zone23:
Well I had hopped that they modified the boot.img to work with bootloader 1.45 and fixed the recovery.img. That was stupid of me..

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Now I got to RDS back HRI39 do the updates to get bootloader 1.45 then flash Tiamat Recovery and back to Xoom Zone..
[Xoom General] Brenardo:
why is it that we all know what we need but MOTO doesnt?
[Xoom General] zone23:
Because we actually tried it...

Probably because someone is sitting at their desk saying that oh it should work with bootloader 1.45 they shouldn't need 1.5. They probably said oh they aren't flashing the RSD correctly.

this is how I feel

I'm pretty much at the point that I don't care anymore. I wish I would have never gotten the 4G upgrade. Verizon can't reverse it either meaning you can't take the LTE card out ant return to just 3G. I'm just going to turn off my service with Verizon tomorrow and continue to run my ROM.

[Xoom General] dimitri407:
Ok I have two questions? Why would Moto change from image files to an SBF? Doesn't make sense.

Second question, did anyone that is stuck at the Moto logo try to wipe data and cache after sbfing? This is what we had to do on the DX and the DX2.
[Xoom General] zone23:
I have tried everything it doesn't work.
[Xoom General] sakenfenc:

[Xoom General] hammer4203:
Sbf or I mg will work as long as you didn't flash the mz600 Everest sbf. I think they misunderstood what everyone was saying. I pm'ed Matt again letting him know that people flashed the mz600 sbf files and that is why the sbf/img files don't work for them. I hope that will get them to post a fix for you guys. I think they just thought people flashed the imgs for mz600, so they just changed the mz602 to imgs instead of adding the baseband sbf needed to fix it.
[Xoom General] Jewremy:
Did you guys find the fix? I believe there is a 1.5 BL updater.zip over at MDW.

I want to be clear that this not a Motorola Release...

Many thanks to Team Blackhat! for creating this update! http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/motorola-tablet-forum/9838-motorola-xoom-3-2-2-recovery-images.html

This update fixed my Xoom and restored my bootloader back to v1.50... So it appears to be legit...

I needed to RSD back to the 1.35 bootloader and then flash custom recovery...

After installing Bootloader and rebooting I was not able to enter fastboot or RSD until I let it boot up completely then I restarted and took the screen above!

Here is the bootloader: View attachment Xoom_BL_1.50.zip
[Xoom General] dethrok:
Gotta' love how TeamBlackHat provides us with a solution faster than Motorola does.

I'll definitely be working on this when I get home from work.

For anyone who tries it, be sure to update if you run into any problems.
[Xoom General] tonesto7:

Ok. So, now that we have the 1.50 BL, can someone confirm if this will work on a 3G XOOM that hasn't been upgraded?

If you haven't been upgraded why would you even care? They will install it at the factory if/when you upgrade.

[Xoom General] Brenardo:
I can honestly say that them outsourced punks messed up my screen... sent in in like new condition got it back with 2 smudges under the screen. No idea how to clean it either. Sent it back in to be repaired and now it magically had water damage.... bullsh!t

incredibly lame.... I got mine (shipped to and from Hawaii mind you) in 5 days and the thing was cleaned and worked perfectly (until I messed it up with that stupid 3.2.2 build!). So I had a really good experience with the upgrade....

I'm also able to confirm this fix works 100%, and I'm performing universal root method right now.

Anyone running Tachi and overclock with this yet???
[Xoom General] REHolt218:
Thanks for the post guys. All I had to do was copy this to the SD card and reboot into CWM Recovery. It installed with no problems and when it rebooted 4g worked.

Finally! !!
[Xoom General] dethrok:
Well, this is interesting. How did you all get around getting stuck at the boot screen - even to get into recovery?

Mine hangs there and I still can't even get into the Tiamat recovery to flash the new bootloader.
[Xoom General] xjack:
Ditto. Can select RSD, Recovery, etc from the menu, but recovery doesn't load. RSD and Fastboot work fine.
[Xoom General] dethrok:
Found a way around it. Use the 1.35 bootloader flash then flash the Tiamat recovery.

All I had to do after that was install the bootloader .zip and I was suddenly on 3.2.2 HLK75D, with working 3G/4G. No extra steps required, i.e. using fastboot to flash the other files.
[Xoom General] cellzealot:
Please don't go to the Moto support forum and vent frustration about this issue and the fix for the bootloader by throwing it in their face...it's not cool!

Thanks ;)
[Xoom General] Jewremy:
Yeah. So anything pre-LTE upgrade is incompatible with BL version 1.5 -- It changes security around quite a bit. Makes it so we can't dump ebb and flash it to another xoom.

Don't ask where it's stored. Nobody knows except moto.

The bootloader.bin came from a good source. Can't say who.

Best thing to do if you get stuck in fastboot or RSD is wait for a computer, then fastboot flash moto's images. They work fine after the update.zip

Sorry it took so long to get this out there. We went as fast as possible. Now you have everything you need to get your xooms back up and running. Quit your *****ing.
[Xoom General] scotto811:
Tachi is running on this build now with no issues. if anyone cares.....
[Xoom General] REHolt218:
I never had the boot problem, I just didn't have 3g/4g. I have been running 3.2.2 HLK75D with CWM Recovery and Tiamat-xoom-rom Kernel 2.1. It has been working well for over a week. All I had to do was reboot to CWM recovery and install the zip.
[Xoom General] Brenardo:
I will quit *****ing... on this forum.

I do want to know if I can flash Moto imgs and relock after flashing the BL via CWM?
[Xoom General] xjack:
Also went this route since I was unable to get into recovery. Had some flakiness with 3g/4g.

1 - flash 1.35

2 - flash Rogue Recovery

3 - flashed bootloader patch

4 - flashed fastboot image files - no 3g/4g?

5 - flashed original problematic hlk75d motodev sbf through RSD

Works great now, thanks to all who put this together quickly!
[Xoom General] kurttrail:

It may be bootloader 1.5 but it didn't solve the problem. I have had HLK75D installed for over a week but was without 3g/4g until I installed the zip from Blackhat.

I just amazes me how easy it was too. It took all of 2 minutes (including download, install and reboot) and we waited on Motorola to help us for over a week. I personally talked with 3 levels of tech support at Verizon and at least 2 at Motorola and even told them what the problem was and they never provided anything.
[Xoom General] cellzealot:
Motorola is a corporation with rules and lawyers and responsibilities...TBH is a group of hacker enthusiasts with none of those things...we play by different rules.
