[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyShane:
Well, I'm sure you've probably guessed by the tone of the title, I bricked my 3G Xoom MZ600. Don't really wanna get too much in depth on how I did so.​

But I will say this: I rooted my Xoom a few weeks back, and everything was cool. For some reason, tonight, I decided I wanted to revert back to stock. This way I could do all OTA updates, and get myself off of Honeycomb, and back to ICS, and then see what I wanted to do from then on. Well, my dumbass,

DID NOT have my battery fully charged

, and I had this wild ass idea that if I had my charging cable plugged in, everything would be ok as far as being able to flash all necessary *.img files to revert back to Stock. So I flash the first *.img file which was the boot.img This went completely fine, which led me to believe that continuing on would be fine as well....Not the case. I proceeded to flash the system.img file, and that's where things took a turn for the worse. For some reason the system.img file would not flash to my Xoom through ADB (kept saying FAILED). So what do I do? I panic. I try several ADB Commands thinking that the Xoom had come Unmounted from my PC. After trying different commands, and reading a few things, I was somehow able to get the Xoom to respond, but not in a good way. I apparently hit a button combo that reset my Xoom, and then all it would do is stay stuck on the Motorola M Dual Core Boot Screen. So then I panic again. I then press Volume Up + Power and then Volume Down + Power to get back into Fastboot protocol. I then try to flash the *.img files again, thinking surely it had been enough time on the charger, so I should be able to flash all files now. Not the case. I honestly can't remember what happened exactly next, but my Xoom started saying RSD MODE 3. At this point I stopped panicking and started completely tripping (I've heard of the elusive RSD MODE, Never actually saw it though, until now). I do some research (Google is my Best Friend), but hey, I'm a dumbass, and I start trying to boot into recovery and what not (didn't happen by the way). Got the Xoom to reboot again, back into fastboot protocol again, thinking to myself, I'll try flashing the files one more time. It's GOT to work this time. So I flash the boot.img, success! I try to flash the system.img, FAILED! So now I'm thinking, well maybe I don't necessarily need to flash the System.img file, and instead I just continue on flashing the other *.img files (recovery.img, and userdata.img).

By the way, not sure if I made this clear, I'm a F**KING dumbass!

) Well, I then get the files flashed, minus the system.img, I then for some reason, think it is acceptable to go ahead and Lock the F**KING BOOTLOADER(before having successfully flashed the system.img file. Yea, I know what you're ALL thinking (What the HELL is WRONG with YOU!?!?!?!) So, guess what happens next? Can you guess? My Xoom stays stuck on the Moto Dual Core Boot Logo Screen, I reset once more using Volume Up + Power, then try to go into Recovery, only to be told (In Red Letters):

Failed to boot LNX 0x0004

Starting RSD mode 2

OneWire: Charger is connected...

Battery Charge Level: 60%

So now I'm not really sure what the hell to do. I keep giggling a little bit to myself, but that could just be the liquor I'm now consuming because I am completely devastated that I could actually be so F**KING STUPID to go and do this to myself. I am at a total loss for words to be spoken out loud, for I feel as though a person as dumb as I should not be allowed to talk for a significant amount of time.​

ANY, and I MEAN ANY, HELP would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. I have been looking at random stuff about RSD Mode and so on, on Google since this has happened, which was about 25 minutes ago now (currently 2:08am Sunday April 14th 2013). All I have seen so far, are some posts, and other random things about Soldering a USB cable (which I have no idea how to do BTW) And a person with as little brain power as myself, definitely does not need to be screwing around with a Handheld Metal Melting Device, to "FIX" his electronics. Someone please Help! PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP. I am going to go drown my sorrows in a bottle of rum. We'll see what tomorrow has in store for DannyShane and his beloved Stingray Xoom, See you tomorrow XDA.

For the love of all that is holy.....Please HELP!
