Hi Dog-man,

What is Factory or Un-brick Cable?

The factory cable, as explained by the Team Black Hat

"Unlike a normal USB cable these cables are wired in a way that

compatible Motorola phones recognize as a "factory" programming cable.

This allows the phone to power up and be flashed without having a

battery in the phone. Depending upon the model of the phone, it may also

boot up differently than it does with a normal USB cable."

In short, think of a “factory cable” in, well, a factory. When your

device is being made, the manufacturer plugs in a cable and loads the OS

for the first time. They use a special cable which makes the device

download a boot-loader with very little fuss. A factory cable allows you

to do the exact same thing – it enables someone to load a new

boot-loader extremely easily. This can, in turn, be used to load new

ROMS (operating systems.) The directions for building this cable are

based on the XDA forums. Credit with coming up for the idea goes to the

people behind that post.

This is a quote from the people who are selling the "Un-brick cables" . Since they were quoting the XDA Forum, I thought it was legit and required to undo bricking.

I accidentally replied to someone else's thread. The "idea" of a unbrick/factory cable came to me from this post:

I just unbricked my Starting RSD Mode 3 Xoom. I bricked it about a year ago flashing a rogue recovery. It wouldn't go into fastboot mode AT ALL. All it would do was "Starting RSD Mode 3" and then I'd have to leave it off the charger for the battery to die to power it off.

I'd been checking back on Google every few months to try and see if there was any new info on the web. This time I searched for "xoom brick fix" instead of "RSD Mode 3" and I found the Unbrick Cable and ordered from Ebay. It worked

I used

-Unbrick Xoom USB Cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/acc-84-3ft-F...60632413144&

-RSD Lite v5.7 app on Windows 7 PC

-VZW_MZ604_signed_JZ054K.combo.sbf
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
When I used RSDLite to rescue my bricked Xoom several times, I just used the cable that cam with the Xoom. The one that you connect to your computer to upload / download files or charge the Xoom's battery.

On all occasions, my Xoom was well and truly bricked. It would not boot up in to recovery mode. RSDLite automates this procedure. I can't recall if you also need the correct image file for your type of Xoom, but with a google, these are available too if required.
[Xoom Android Development] ankorez:
Hi guys

anyone know if this rom Always updated???
[Xoom Android Development] mercaggie:
It looks like to use RSDLite I would need SBF file. I googled it but cant find it for XOOM Z604, just for MZ604 which is a phone... There are image files out there but cant use them with RSD. Any suggestions how to solve it.

[Xoom Android Development] mercaggie:
Thanks! Sorry to ask, but don't know which one to use there are so many files there... I have Z604 WiFi, Canadian edition.
[Xoom Android Development] Manuellama:
https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Xoom/Stock/VZW_MZ604_signed_JZO54K.combo.sbf.gz You can try this one. It is the United States version, but it will work anyway. I think.
[Xoom Android Development] mercaggie:
I tried that and now I'm one step ahead from mode 3. Xoom shows Motorola logo and then goes into a "screen saver" like mode displaying flashy colorful shapes.

After creation an image and other stuff, RSDLite line 1 says "please manually power up this phone" - the file you pointed me to is for MZ604 which is a phone not Z604 tablet. I hope these ROMs are interchangeable.

How do I get unstuck from this screen?
[Xoom Android Development] Manuellama:
http://lms.onnocenter.or.id/wiki/index.php/OS:_Android_-_Flash_Device

Troubleshooting

If you experience: “ Please manually power up this phone! “ do as following:

Leave device connected for 5 minutes with PC and RSD Lite running at current condition

If nothing happens..unplug your device

Go to stock recovery

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache

Reboot

[Xoom Android Development] mercaggie:
My Xoom may be a toast. I went into recovery and Android was on his back with and exclamation mark again. Now all is back to flashy "screen saver" lights.

Thanks for the link. I liked my tablet and wanted it to work on major airlines while travelling. This was the reason I tried upgrading to Marshmallow. Buying another Xoom is not going to address the Android OS version :(
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
Android devices are rarely bricked forever.

They are one of the most recoverable devices that exist.

Don't be downhearted and persevere. You will get there in the end and will have learnt something on the way.
[Xoom Android Development] mercaggie:
Thanks dog-man.

It looks like RSD fixed something because I can get all the boot options which weren't there before. I went into the recovery mode, got Fuse 1 message and droid guy went down. After some minutes, Xoom goes into reboot which ends up with "screen saver". It looks like there is no image to read from. Should I load a ROM image to SD card?
[Xoom Android Development] Manuellama:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/Motorola-XOO...318636?hash=item3ab925162c:g:3zkAAOSw3KFWcHiS

You mean color screen saver like this one? Have you allowed it to boot for some minutes? This is the boot logo animation. It takes some time for the system to load. About 5-10 minutes maybe.
[Xoom Android Development] mercaggie:
Yes, this is exactly what I see. I waited for a long time but still no change. Rebooted, tried recovery, etc. Same result. I will try again RSD Lite.
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
I cannot give instructions how to use RSDLite as it has been some time since I last used it and I don't recall every step.

It fixed my xoom several times after experimenting with different roms and bricking it each time.

I am sure that instructions are available if you search.

I will search my hard drives and see if I have anything that might help.

His this one stable now.....just flashed my xoom for the first time to 4.4.4. Want to get all updated to best stable version.

If anyone can point me in the right direction for most up to date stable version I would be most appreciated.
[Xoom Android Development] Manuellama:
The most stable is 4.4.4.

I am compiling now Lollipop revision 38, but camera does not work yet. Neither hw videodecoding.

Please use 4.4.4. until I get some more bugs fixed in Lollipop. Marshmallow is much less stable.
[Xoom Android Development] oxknife:
I installed omni 4.4.4 several years ago. But recently it keeps pop up "google service has stopped". Reinstallation didn't fix this issue. Now I am using this Marshmallow. It works perfectly. Thanks.

I am trying to fix some things at Lollipop yet...

SD-Card errors are a great obstacle for me in Marshmallow.

Trying to make a better rom at lollipop version. Lighter etc.
[Xoom Android Development] Punkidd:
Any news ? <3
[Xoom Android Development] Manuellama:
Currently downloading Nougat sources :)

Will surely be able to make a zip of it, but it will very surely fail.

I will show the process to the XDA developer that is helping me with the kernel, because it will be a problem with the kernel.

I will need to show him the logcat, the dmesg and I do not know how many logs more. xD

Let's see if we can do something with it.

Xoom is not abandoned yet!
[Xoom Android Development] Punkidd:
Thanks for the update!

marshmellow is not viable anymore right ?

(after some really anoying notification of "playstore service" using KK, I let my xoom a side waiting for any news to do something ).
[Xoom Android Development] Manuellama:
https://xdaforums.com/motorola-xoom/development/rom-omnirom-wingray-bigpart-alpha-t3147007/page47

The google play services has been fixed.
[Xoom Android Development] doobes:
And therein lies the rub. This process started with Lollipop, which was abandoned, transitioned to Marshmallow, which has now been abandoned, so I guess Nougat is the next to be abandoned.

Now that the Google Play issue has been rectified, I'm probably going to return mine to stock.

Methinks this development will never get completely finished. I would rather have an earlier Android version that was completely functional than the latest that is missing large bits and pieces.

Farewell.
[Xoom Android Development] Manuellama:
Yes, you are right.

I think I can fix some more things in Lollipop.

I should focus on it then, I thought people wanted the latest version.

You are completely right.

But it is a very bad thing that Schischu does not appear here anymore. :(
[Xoom Android Development] doobes:
With all due respect, if you can't get everything working, then it might not be worth the effort.

I thought I read somewhere, but can't find it now, that Android post v4.4.4 (Lollipop and above) invokes a hardware capability that the Tegra 3 processor in the XOOM (and a lot of tablets at the time) doesn't have. That is why CM and OMNI stopped development after v4.4.4 for Tegra3 machines.

We appreciate your efforts,

chris
[Xoom Android Development] boido:
appreciated...

Your work is definitely appreciated Manuel. KK was starting to feel outdated and I decided to stick with lollipop even though there's no bluetooth or camera. The sd card function is great. I think if the focus is placed on those things it will be worthwhile for quite some time. We don't need the newest, just the functional. Again, many thanks. :good::good::good:
[Xoom Android Development] Pagoaz:
Personally I think continued development for the Xoom is needed and a breath of fresh are in an era of planned obsolescence. I have played with other tablets and none feel as robust to me as the xoom. It doesn't always need to be about the fastest, newest or shiniest next piece of hardware they throw at us and want us to pay for. Keep up the good work Manuellama and maybe some other people will join in.

I had a similar problem few months before. Most easiest way is to buy a USB cable called "Factory Cable". You can enter in fastboot mode by using it. It costs cheap and find in Ebay or somewhere. If you wanted to make it by yourself, you must make short cut terminal No.1 and No.4. Hope you can recover soon!!! :)

So the issues people are having with apps likely are related to processor limitations rather than an issue with the Android 6 build?
