Help! Can't format my Xoom.

[TWJackFoley]

Hello there, I have a huge issue with my Motorola Xoom.

I ran the #156 TeamEOS 4.2 Nightly Rom for my European 3G Xoom when all of a sudden my tablet started acting really weird.
Apps were crashing, Google Play wasn't working, Browser as well, and so on.

I decided to do a hard reset, formatting cache, Dalvik Cache, Hard Reset...but nothing was cancelled. As soon as i rebooted my device, everything was back the way it was with the same issues. I noticed my tablet was costantly updating the same apps and even if I updated them the following reboot they were back re-updating themselves.

I have no idea what to do, I tried everything, including RSD Lite. Nothing.

Can somebody help me figuring out what to do and how to at least format my Xoom completely so that I can re-install my rom and then re-install the apps?

Thanks.

I would boot into recovery and do a full wipe the reflash the rom a gapps. you should be good to go.

No can do, sorry. What's weird is that even when I go to change the performance settings on the rom, to overclock it more or less, the changes are not recorded. I can set whatever I want but it doesn't change it. It's like the tablet is in a loop, always stuck doing the same things, charging the same rom, the same settings. I really don't know what to do, I don't want to throw it away but I don't know how to solve it.

Which xoom do you have? We can always flash the stock img with fastboot to restore it. It will be back to complete stock.

Can you get into recovery at all by powering off then press the power button wait till 3 sec's after the logo appears and press volume down. You will see android recovery at the top press vol up to select. If you can and you have a backup restore it. If you use an external sd card you can load a rom on to it and flash it in recovery.

this is the same exact problem i'm having. I cannot get my xoom to reset. It always goes back to where it was before.

Sounds like your data has gotten corrupted somehow. You can take the boot.img out of whatever Custom ROM ur using, and via terminal -
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

I have the same problem.
The Xoom is a european with android 3.1 kernel version 2.6.36 and build H.6.3-25-9 <- this i dont understand but i think that is no correct.
I try flash the H.6.1-38-1_Retail_Europe version, all the process finish ok, but when i restart the tablet everything continues as before.
I not know what else to do, Heeeelp.
